After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 885 - 367: Zhu Yulan’s Confession (7k Subscribe! We Really Won the Revival Match!)

Xu Musen, seeing her feigning strength despite being obviously filled with grievances, unexpectedly found her quite cute...

"Let me speak first then."

Xu Musen slowly moved his shoulder, which still smarted from her bite earlier. This girl really did like to bite.

"Then speak, but if you mention 'good person' again... I'll bite you!"

Zhu Yulan bared her teeth threatening him, yet her soft body didn't move out of his embrace for a bit.

Xu Musen knew he couldn't pull her away now; he could only let her hold him for the time being.

He took a deep breath, gazing at the girl in his arms, her eyes red and glossy with tears, her nervous lashes trembling.

"What I wanted to say was, you are a good... a very outstanding person."

Xu Musen had barely said the word "good" when he felt a grinding sound from the opposite side, and he immediately coughed and changed his words.

"Only, my life is already too crowded, and to say some things would only hurt you more..."

He was interrupted by Zhu Yulan before he could finish.

"Xu Musen... if right now you already married Nuannuan or Ming Yue, then if another of them appeared, would you still say there is no room by your side?"

Her gaze was so intense, it was irresistible; Xu Musen fell silent for a moment and smiled wryly in the end, "It's not the same..."

"What's not the same? Stop deceiving with those excuses; you're just a scumbag! Putting up your own saintly billboard!"

Zhu Yulan clenched her little fists and beat him. As she beat him, tears welled up in her eyes again, knowing there was no real 'crowding,' just that she wasn't significant enough.

Indeed, one was Tian Jiang's official girlfriend, and the other was an inseparable childhood sweetheart.

She, an outsider, an unrequited lover, how could she weigh that much?

Zhu Yulan felt things blur in front of her as she kept hitting, yet uncontrollably her tears fell again.

"Since you're already a scumbag, then come be a scumbag to me!"

At this moment, Zhu Yulan's appearance was somewhat heart-wrenching.

A young lady from the prominent Huhai University family, having the courage to say such words for a boy, must have required great courage.

Xu Musen's prepared words were choked back by her self-sabotaging tone.

He gently patted Zhu Yulan's back, "It's because you truly are wonderful, that I can't carelessly do something to you."

Admittedly, Zhu Yulan was an outstanding girl.

Whether it was looks, personal abilities, or family background, she could be the object of admiration anywhere.

For ordinary people, let alone taking advantage of her, even being friends would be a luxury.

"Is it that you cannot, or you do not want to? Or do you think I don't even have the charm to be taken advantage of by you?" Zhu Yulan leaned into Xu Musen, her disheveled appearance like that of a ghost, her eyes filled with bitterness.

"No, you are very charming."

"Then you are incompetent!"

"???"

Xu Musen was momentarily speechless: "The problem isn't that."

"So, you still don't want to, do you?"

Zhu Yulan bit her lip, staring intensely at him, "Xu Musen, just tell me… do you have even a little bit of liking for me, not as a friend, but liking me, Zhu Yulan, as a person… even just a little bit..."

Zhu Yulan's voice was nearly pleading, desperate for even a sliver of humble affirmation.

Xu Musen silently gazed at her; their meeting until now had weathered many storms.

The human heart is complex yet pure, and the term 'like' is never about a single aspect; it is more like a complex composite.

Some people just need one glance, and the emotion of liking becomes uncontrollable.

Others may spend a lifetime together through storms, and if you ask them about their feelings, they might not explain it, maybe it is just habit and companionship.

Whether Xu Musen liked her, Zhu Yulan, even a little bit...

Xu Musen met her gaze, and in the end, gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, "This question, for you, actually isn't fair. I should first ask you, why would you like someone like me, with no status or background, just a bit of luck, and not exactly pure in private life, why?"
