After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

"Ming Yue, if you don't want to eat at school, I know a place off campus that has a..."

"Move!"

Yao Mingyue was in a rather bad mood, and she simply walked around this person, heading towards the cafeteria.

Chen Guangnian stood there, the words he was about to say stuck in his throat.

Yao Mingyue was usually very aloof, but he never expected she wouldn't give an inch of face.

The gazes around him made his cheeks feel somewhat burning.

However, he wasn't discouraged and calmly pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up, watching the direction in which Yao Mingyue was leaving.

At this moment, inside the cafeteria.

The students were packed like sardines, especially during military training when appetites were already high, and long queues formed at many windows.

Some upperclassmen sighed that this year's students must have never eaten before, each one acting like a starving ghost.

Many who had gotten their food still couldn't find a place to sit.

Xu Musen, pushing An Nuannuan, looked around: "What would you like to eat?"

An Nuannuan also raised her little head, dazzled by the array of choices in the cafeteria, each one looking temptingly delicious.

"They all look so good..."

Too bad she could only eat one at a time.

Xu Musen laughed at the sight of her, suddenly thinking that one reason she liked hotpot might be because it allowed her to throw in a variety of ingredients.

"How about trying the pick-your-own meal here? It's pretty good."

Xu Musen pointed to a counter nearby, where more than thirty dishes were displayed, along with fruits and small desserts, available to choose from with the final price based on weight.

An Nuannuan, seeing so many dishes, immediately nodded in anticipation.

Xu Musen handed her a plate, and as soon as she reached the counter, she started picking out fried chicken, braised pork, little sausages, then some cream cakes and some fruit.

There wasn't a single green thing in sight.

"What about vegetables?" Xu Musen asked, looking at her heaping plate devoid of any leafy greens.

"There's fruit, though."

"But that can't count as vegetables; you need a balanced meal."

"Ying~"

"Acting cute won't work; do you really want to turn into a little pig?"

Xu Musen picked up the tongs, added some greens to An Nuannuan's plate, and took a few pieces of fried chicken onto his plate.

Watching him, Nuannuan looked longingly and tugged at Xu Musen's sleeve: "Ok, that's enough, don't take anymore."

Seeing the plate now properly balanced, Xu Musen finally handed it back to her: "Take a good look, from now on you should eat with this meat-to-vegetable ratio, got it?"

"Oh," An Nuannuan felt a bit disappointed.

Xu Musen, pushing her, searched for a seat. It wasn't long before a few guys hastily shoveled their food into their mouths to vacate their seats for Nuannuan.

Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong also followed to scrounge a spot.

Once An Nuannuan started eating, she entered a zone of concentration that was hard for outsiders to break.

"Xu Musen, can I trade some vegetables for one of your sausages?"

"No picky eating; you have to eat a bite of vegetables for every bite of meat. You must finish all the greens on the plate, or else there will be no ice cream tonight."

"Wu~"

An Nuannuan could only take a small bite of vegetables, but her eyes stayed fixed on Xu Musen's chicken and sausages.

She voiced her hope softly.

"Then, once I'm completely well, can you give me a big sausage to eat every day?"

Xu Musen felt praised, yet he noticed some odd glances from the girls around them.

"We'll talk about that when you're well."

"Oh~"

Watching Xu Musen's and An Nuannuan's harmonious interaction, Zhou Hangyu couldn't help himself and leaned toward Xu Musen, asking, "You sly dog, where did you pick up this chick?"

"What do you mean pick up? This is mutual attraction due to personal charisma."

"Cut the crap; you two were exchanging coy glances during military training today. That dog food flavor was too damn strong."

"We are friends, pure friendship, you understand?" Xu Musen replied with a smile.

"I don't believe a ghost of that; you say it's pure friendship? Then can I be added as a good friend too?"

"Then go ask her."

"I'll ask." Zhou Hangyu cleared his throat and turned to An Nuannuan: "Hey there, I'm Xu Musen's roommate. Can we add each other as friends too?"

An Nuannuan lifted her head, blinking her clear large eyes: "You can just talk to Xu Musen about that."

"Huh?" Zhou Hangyu was confused.

An Nuannuan then looked rather pleased and serious: "Xu Musen is in charge of my friend management, whatever he says, goes."

"..."

Everyone felt as if they were being slapped in the face with cold dog food.

Xu Musen himself was momentarily stunned.

How could this adorable dolt speak such easily misunderstood words with such a serious expression?

But, that feeling of complete trust from someone else was genuinely exhilarating.

"Xu Musen, you scumbag!"

Zhou Hangyu cursed inwardly, teeth gnashed. Xu Musen already had a girl eating out of his hand, and he still claimed they weren't dating?

Li Rundong also felt a sourness in his mouth, damn it, today's meal must have been marinated in lemon juice!

At the next table, Lin Daiyu and Zhao Lianmai also overheard that sentence, and they both went silent for a good while.

Lin Daiyu: I've learned something new.

Zhao Lianmai: Poor girl.

"Hey, looks like you're having a great time chatting. How about adding me as a friend too?"

Just then, a pleasant yet slightly hair-raising voice chimed in.
