After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

"Don\'t ask the old man, the old man doesn\'t know."

Xu Musen laughed out loud, "Right, during this afternoon\'s military training, I need you guys to work with me..."

...

The afternoon military training started again.

After standing at attention for an hour, it was break time.

Xu Musen vigorously rubbed his face and eyes, making his handsome face a bit red and giving his eyes a slightly bloodshot appearance.

He leaned against a tree, radiating a somewhat listless vibe.

"I always feel like you\'re not looking so well," Lin Daiyu approached him and said, holding a bottle of water in her hand.

"I might have caught a cold from taking a cold shower yesterday," Xu Musen nodded.

"Then you should drink more water," Lin Daiyu said, pushing the bottle of water into his hand.

Xu Musen didn\'t refuse and said, "I\'ll pay you back next time."

Lin Daiyu pouted her lips; she sat down next to Xu Musen and fiddled with a strand of hair beside her ear, whispering, "You don\'t have to keep your distance from me anymore, I\'ve already decided not to pursue you."

Xu Musen almost choked on his water and looked at Lin Daiyu\'s profile, "Cough, actually, you\'re really pretty good."

Lin Daiyu laughed a bit helplessly, "That\'s what I used to say to comfort others. I never expected to experience it myself now. It\'s really annoying."

"Actually, I think your straightforward personality is rather nice," Xu Musen said with a smile.

"That\'s just because I\'m good at consoling myself," she replied.

Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes, looking at Xu Musen\'s somewhat red cheeks. She couldn\'t deny that his face was indeed handsome.

After so many days of military training, it was inevitable to get a bit tanned, but some people looked like they were from Africa.

Yet Xu Musen seemed to become even more manly.

In fact, most girls prefer the big, wolf-like guys over the puppy-like ones.

The kind that\'s overly sweet and cloying, just looking at them is nauseating.

Another pair of figures popped into her mind, and her resolve to seal away her feelings solidified further.

"Xu Musen, speaking of which, what exactly is your relationship with that girl now?" Lin Daiyu couldn\'t help but ask.

Of course, she was referring to An Nuannuan, who had been bringing Xu Musen mung bean soup every day.

When the two of them were together, acting all lovey-dovey, the sweetness was unbearable.

"Friends," Xu Musen responded succinctly.

"Tch, friends, huh? We are friends too, and you\'re making such a fuss over a bottle of water. But you drink every last drop of the mung bean soup she gives you," Lin Daiyu muttered.

Xu Musen chuckled.

Liking and not liking, it\'s all very clear.

"But she really is pretty, just a bit simple-minded. Aren\'t you afraid that other guys will chase after her if you don\'t confirm your relationship with her soon?"

"When two people are attracted to each other, things like dating should just happen naturally," Xu Musen said leisurely.

He remembered how, just yesterday, she suddenly asked him to back her up.

It made him feel a certain awkwardness.

Was this girl truly naive or just playing dumb?

And this demeanor of his, in Lin Daiyu\'s eyes, seemed like the confident poise of someone with everything under control.

"So, what you\'re saying is, she\'s already yours and you\'re not worried she might slip away, right?"

"???"

Are college girls nowadays learning all sorts of messy jargon?

Meanwhile, Li Rundong, seeing Xu Musen chatting cozily with Lin Daiyu, felt a sourness in his heart.

"Damn it, we agreed to get things done today, yet he\'s still flirting. Just wait till he pretends to faint, I\'ll pinch his philtrum so hard!"

"Ha, I say go for the throat!"

Military training continued.

Two to three in the afternoon was the hottest time of day when quite a few students suffered mild heatstroke every day.

The school\'s medical room was even more packed than an internet café outside.

"Next, twenty minutes of squatting position, ready, squat down!"

The instructor ordered them to practice squatting, which was the most torturous part. If they sweated or felt an itch anywhere on their body, they needed to report it before scratching.

Xu Musen coughed lightly, and the three guys next to him perked up.

As the squatting ended and the instructor shouted the command, Xu Musen closed his eyes and gently laid down on the ground.

"Instructor! Someone has fainted!"

"Xu Musen, wake up~ He seems to have heatstroke!"

Li Rundong and Zhou Hangyu\'s acting was a bit over the top, as if they were about to cry for Xu Musen right then and there.

The corner of the instructor\'s mouth twitched. After so many days, he was well aware of the condition of everyone in class.

Xu Musen was definitely in the best physical shape, heatstroke? Nonsense.

Every year some students pretended to have heatstroke, he was used to it.

"Heatstroke, right? Let me check," he said as he walked over, looked at Xu Musen lying on the ground, and pinched his philtrum.

Xu Musen felt a stab of pain at that point, but thinking of his big plans for the future, he endured.

The instructor inwardly praised, thinking the lad had good tolerance.

"Instructor, Xu Musen said he caught a cold from a cold shower yesterday. We better take him to the medical room," Lin Daiyu intervened, seeking mercy for Xu Musen still lying on the ground.

"Alright, you two take him to the medical room to get checked out, and hurry back in ten minutes," the instructor said, not caring whether it was an act or not as long as he wasn\'t causing trouble for the class.

"Roger that."

Li Rundong and Zhou Hangyu picked Xu Musen up and started walking toward the medical room.

Along the way.

"Xu Musen, cut the act, you\'re really tough. Such a pinch and you didn\'t even flinch."
