After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 897 - 370: Childhood Sweethearts’ Date._2

He simply responded with a "Okay."

"What did my mom say to you?"

Yao Mingyue craned her neck trying to see the phone.

But Xu Musen lifted his phone, "Mom said to keep you on a tight leash when we go out and not let you run amok."

"Xu Musen!!"

Yao Mingyue bared her teeth and snatched his phone, seeing the message her mom had sent.

"Date…"

Yao Mingyue's expression also turned a shade rosier as she looked at Xu Musen, "You... you didn't even try to argue with my mom?"

"What's there to argue about? I am a scumbag after all, and dating pretty girls I like is my forte, isn't it?"

Xu Musen spoke with a proud look, giving off a sense of a pig who isn't afraid of being scalded in boiling water.

But Yao Mingyue heard only two words.

Like, pretty…

Her cheeks flushed with the uncontainable delight of a teenage girl, "Hmph~ Some people can actually say those two words, huh? It used to be so hard to get him to say them."

"This is called being cautious; some words, once said, require taking responsibility."

Xu Musen fetched a white blanket and laid it over Yao Mingyue's legs, then slowly pushed her downstairs.

Snowflakes drifted gently below the office building. Snow never stays long in the city, so the two of them were in no hurry,

casually walking along the street.

Looking at the stores on either side, almost every street featured an Auntie of Shanghai's milk tea shop.

Slowly but surely, they had begun to dominate the young people's milk tea market.

"Boss Xu's business is really growing; no wonder he's so cocky now."

Yao Mingyue looked at the various storefronts, her tone a bit envious, after all, every shop's owner was An Nuannuan.

It felt as if they were declaring their love territory to the whole world.

Really... not too cool!

Xu Musen watched her little expressions and his gaze flickered slightly before laughing, "Starting a milk tea shop was because Nuannuan likes drinking milk tea. What about you? What do you like?"

"Me?"

Yao Mingyue lifted her head, joy twinkling in her eyes as she stared at Xu Musen, then slyly smiled, "Why don't you open a dog meat restaurant?"

Xu Musen was filled with question marks.

"I thought you don't eat dog meat, do you?"

"But what if what my mouth likes is a scumbag dog?" Yao Mingyue asked playfully, her eyes unwavering as they fixed on Xu Musen's face.

"???"

That's when Xu Musen got the hint.

Yao Mingyue began to laugh triumphantly, but just as she opened her mouth, a gust of cold air blew her way, causing her to cough violently several times.

Xu Musen, who wanted to tease her, immediately stopped and gently crouched in front of her, "Are you alright?"

Yao Mingyue wiped the tears that had welled up from coughing, "It's fine, ahem… Maybe it's because I haven't been out for a long time, I'm still not used to it."

Xu Musen watched her silently, memories swirling in his mind.

"I'm really okay. We finally got out to enjoy the snow; don't spoil the mood!"

Yao Mingyue patted him, sporting an expression as if he was making a big deal out of nothing, then snorted, "I want to go somewhere, you know where, right?"

Xu Musen looked at her for a while longer, then nodded and smiled, "I know."

Xu Musen tucked the blanket around her more snugly, pushing her through the streets and alleys.

In unspoken agreement, the two arrived at the riverbank.

It was the place where Yao Mingyue had made several "freestyle dives."

In winter, the riverbank wasn't covered with thick ice, just a thin layer of ice near the shore, and this area was very quiet.

There were few people who would come here for a walk in the winter.

The beach here still retained a lot of snow.

Xu Musen pushed Yao Mingyue to a stop next to a bench.

"Xu Musen, do you know why I wanted to come out in the wheelchair?"

Yao Mingyue suddenly asked.

"Why," Xu Musen asked softly, looking down.

"When I was first injured, I always felt like I was trapped in a wheelchair, like there was nothing I could do, and nothing I wanted to fight for I could get.

But later, I found that when I was free, there seemed to always be an insurmountable barrier between you and me.

However, when I'm in the wheelchair, having lost my own freedom, I find that I'm actually closer to you."

Yao Mingyue looked at Xu Musen, her smile tinged with a hint of a sigh, "That's when I realized why An Nuannuan, despite only being able to sit in a wheelchair every day, still seemed so confident. Because she knew, even though the wheelchair restricted her, there would be a boy who would double his efforts to take her to seek out more."
