After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

The old Daoist stroked his beard, then began to speak.

"Good," the young Daoist nodded and immediately went to do as told.

The old Daoist looked up to see two wooden plaques colliding in the wind, making a series of crisp sounds.

He recalled the appearance of those two young people, touching his beard and nodding slightly.

"They do make a good match..."

...

The two were resting on a bench to the side.

"Are you sure your foot is okay?" Yao Mingyue looked at Xu Musen, feeling more worried than when she had sprained her own foot.

"It's just a minor injury, it'll be fine in a bit."

Xu Musen looked down at his sock, noticing a bit of blood had soaked through, but the wound wasn't serious.

"Serves you right for overreacting just now," Yao Mingyue pouted her lips, remembering how Xu Musen had dodged.

Inside, she felt a bit sour.

At that moment, Xu's father and mother also returned, showing concern upon seeing their son's foot: "What happened here?"

"I slipped while walking, it's nothing serious. Aren't you two continuing your date?"

Xu Musen said with a smile.

"You rascal, let me take a look. Can't you be more careful?"

Xu's mother came over to check and, after confirming it wasn't anything serious, felt somewhat relieved.

"Auntie, it's all my fault. If I hadn't distracted him with conversation, he wouldn't have fallen," Yao Mingyue said, lowering her head.

"Silly girl, what's there to worry about? It's just a small injury. It's all his fault for not being careful when walking."

"Mom, am I really your own child?"

Xu Musen couldn't help but tease.

Seeing her son so lively, Xu's mother also smiled, "Alright then, let's take a photo together..."

After spending a while on the mountain, it was almost noon.

The fatigue from mountain climbing and the hunger surged together.

There was only instant noodles available on the mountain, so they planned to return to the hotel to eat.

However, on the way down to the cable car station, Yao Mingyue had to support him the entire time.

"I'm really fine, you just need to walk carefully on your own."

Xu Musen was being supported by her arm and couldn't walk fast. Anytime he moved his arm a little too much, he would accidentally touch some of the wonderful sensations of the young girl.

"I need to take responsibility for you."

Yao Mingyue whispered softly.

She then hugged his arm even closer to herself.

Xu's father and mother exchanged glances. Although they didn't know exactly what happened between the two earlier, they could feel the relationship between them seemed to have gotten much closer.

And seeing Yao Mingyue holding their son's arm with such determination,

Kid, you'd better appreciate it.

The cable car could actually fit four people, but Xu's mother cheerfully suggested, "Since the cable car charges by the number of people, why don't the two of you take one? You can enjoy the scenery that way."

Xu's mother said this as she pulled Xu's father into one of the cable cars, then closed the door.

Wasn't this matchmaking a little too clumsy?

Xu Musen was speechless, but Yao Mingyue was smiling at the corners of her mouth.

"Let's go."

Xu Musen then climbed into the cable car, and Yao Mingyue came in and sat beside him.

The cable car drifted between the mountains; many people could still be seen climbing upwards.

It was almost noon.

The sun hung on the horizon, and as darkness gave way to light, the view of the surrounding mountains was truly breathtaking.

It was indeed spectacular.

The two were sitting close together. The wind in October was not so dry and hot, but pleasantly cool on their skin.

The scenery outside the cable car was soothing to the heart.

"Xu Musen, I had a lot of fun today."

Yao Mingyue gently leaned against him, their combined warmth inducing a sense of drowsiness.

"I'm glad you're happy."

Xu Musen nodded, glancing at her for a moment.

"And you?"

Yao Mingyue asked him.

"It's been okay."

"Tsk, you're such a straight man. No other girl would like you except for me. Otherwise, they are just after your money or looking to deceive you. Only I don't want anything from you, so you might as well just go along with me."

Yao Mingyue narrowed her eyes, leaning on Xu Musen's shoulder, her hand quietly moving toward his palm.

Xu Musen looked at her. Indeed, others were after his money, but you're aiming for my body, almost as if you'd begrudge the air I breathe if it were to be taken away by other women.

"Rest for a bit."

He pulled his hand away, propping up his head, intending to rest against the window.

Having barely slept last night and getting up at three in the morning to climb the mountain until dawn, and then dealing with all the excitement until now, even an iron man would be sleepy.

It was more than half an hour back down the mountain by cable car, and the gentle swaying motion was like a cradle, with the cool breeze outside making it quite comfortable.

Xu Musen closed his eyes to nap.

Yao Mingyue looked at his withdrawn hand and wrinkled her cute little nose.

Such a blockhead...

But as she watched Xu Musen, who was now quietly sleeping, this stubborn man seemed to have warmed up a little bit.

Exhausted by the day's events, she too became sleepy.

She gently leaned on Xu Musen's shoulder, their heads touching as the cable car rocked back and forth, reminding them of childhood when the two of them lay in the same cradle.

Liu Rushuang and Xu's mother would sing lullabies, lulling them to sleep.

In this moment, it really was comfortable.

After the cable car ride, they returned to the hotel.

Food was delivered to the hotel room, everyone was hungry, and after dinner, the afternoon arrived.

The repercussions of the climb manifested as soreness throughout their bodies.

Xu's father and mother washed up and went straight to their room to rest.

Xu Musen took off his shoes and saw that the abrasion on his ankle was still not fully healed.

He thought about just wiping off the sweat with a towel later.

The door opened.

Yao Mingyue had already taken a shower, changed into her pajamas, and her long hair was still slightly damp. Her fair skin was like that of a freshly boiled egg.
