After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Students were huddled in front of computers, and some who didn\'t have one at home even ran to Internet cafes, just so they could see their results as soon as possible.

Mr. and Mrs. Xu were also in Xu Musen\'s room, excitedly waiting for the results to come out.

As soon as it was twelve o\'clock, Xu Musen immediately entered his exam ID and password.

"Sorry, the website data has crashed. Please check back later…"

Xu Musen had guessed it; every year when college entrance exam scores were released, this website would get swamped by millions of students.

"No rush, take it easy. Just try a few more times," Mrs. Xu said patiently by his side.

After proficiently entering the information, the webpage finally loaded on the fifth attempt.

"Look, look, it\'s up!"

Mrs. Xu suddenly got excited.

"Keep it down, don\'t startle the kid. Son, scroll down and have a look," Mr. Xu said, but his face showed excitement and tension no less than anyone else\'s.

Xu Musen wasn\'t nervous at all; in the mock exams, his scores had been around 680, so even with fluctuations, it wouldn\'t be much lower.

Sure enough, the scores began to appear.

Candidate: Xu Musen.

Chinese: 135

Mathematics: 141

…

Total Score: 688!

At the sight of this score, Mr. and Mrs. Xu rubbed their eyes in disbelief!

With this score, they could choose almost any top university in the country without hesitation!

Even Tsinghua and Peking University might be within reach!

"Good, good, good!"

Mr. Xu lost all pretense of calm, his face radiant, the wrinkles smoothing out in his joy.

Picking up the phone, he started to spread the good news to relatives and friends.

"Hello, Old Wang, my son\'s results are out. Just average, just under 700."

"Old Li, hahaha, how did you know my son scored more than 680 in the college entrance exam?"

Mrs. Xu also stared at the score for a long time, unable to snap back to reality, eventually becoming teary-eyed with emotion.

"Great, great, now we can rest assured…"

Mrs. Xu patted her son\'s head. In their view, one had to attend a prestigious university to secure a stable future.

She then took out her mobile phone to call Liu Rushuang.

"Musen\'s results are out, have you checked Ming Yue\'s as well?"

"Just came out, exactly 700 points. Xiaosen must have done well too, right?"

"Aiyoh, even more unbelievable, 700 points! Musen only scored 688. From childhood to now, Ming Yue always had better grades, hahaha."

"Where, Xiaosen has improved greatly; with this score, he can choose any school in the country!"

"Yes, the two kids might even end up attending the same top university!"

"Right, they are childhood sweethearts; they have been together since kindergarten…"

Xu Musen listened to his mother\'s conversation with Liu Rushuang, and his heart skipped a beat for a moment.

Now that the results were out, it was time to apply for universities.

Actually, Xu Musen was rather keen on going to Hu Hai city.

In his past life, he and Yao Mingyue had attended the same university. In fact, during their time at university, they got along better and better, almost confirming their relationship.

Back then, Yao Mingyue\'s \'yandere\' traits weren\'t so extreme, just a bit strong on the control side, but still within acceptable limits.

After all, a bit of possessiveness during a relationship can actually be a sign of affection for each other.

It wasn\'t until her senior year that she suddenly disappeared for three years…

When she came back, they met again at a matchmaking dinner.

Moreover, Yao Mingyue\'s grades would make her a strong candidate for Tsinghua or Peking University. In his past life, she had specifically chosen to attend Hu Hai University with Xu Musen.

Honestly, if Yao Mingyue were a normal person, her behavior could be considered the epitome of true love.

Unfortunately, she was a \'yandere\'. Her constant, unscrupulous possessiveness was truly unbearable.

And that\'s why Xu Musen still wanted to choose Hu Hai.

Being one of the most internet-sensitive and highly developed areas in the mainland, Hu Hai was perfectly suited for the path Xu Musen intended to take.

He gazed at the graduation photo on the table.

In the moment he turned his head, Yao Mingyue also gently tilted her head; her high ponytail resting on his shoulder.

Her stunningly beautiful face glowed in the sunlight.

She was really attractive—in a way that was etched into Xu Musen\'s consistent aesthetic appreciation.

Too bad, she\'s a tsundere.

Xu Musen shook his head, pondering in his heart that this little tsundere would almost surely nail a spot at Tsinghua or Peking University.

If he could trick her into applying for Tsinghua or Peking University while he blissfully went to Hu Hai University on his own.

She would gain a degree from the top academic institutions in the country while he would enjoy his freedom and happiness.

Wouldn\'t that be delightful?

After a long silence, the class group chat had also become bustling.

Those who did well began to show off their scores, and those who didn\'t do well quietly lurked, while some had already started inquiring about factory lines that paid more.

As the saying goes, after graduation, some went to Tsinghua, others to Peking University, and as for me, I did quite well too—I baked sweet potatoes.

"Moriko, I freaking outperformed myself! Over 560 points! How about you?"

He Qiang also sent him a message.

Xu Musen chuckled: "I did so-so, just over 600, 688 points."

"Damn! Can\'t you go one day without showing off? But that number\'s auspicious, I\'ll reward you with the 688 set meal at Red Romance tonight!"

He Qiang ribbed him but was genuinely happy for his good buddy, "So you can go to pretty much any school now, where are you planning to apply?"

"Hu Hai, I guess. Still got time to see what happens."

"That\'s a nice place, with rivers and seas, gives you a chance to cast a few lines on the Bund."

Xu Musen\'s lips twitched; this buddy was hopeless. Everyone else liked Hu Hai for its economic development or maybe the abundance of pretty girls, and foreign beauties were a common sight.

But all he could think about was fishing.

"Ding~"

Yao Mingyue: "The results are out, congratulations."

Xu Musen paused, their conversation hadn\'t progressed in over half a month.

"You too, congratulations."

Xu Musen politely replied.

After a moment, she sent another message: "Have you thought of any schools to apply to?"

"Not really, I\'ll leave it to fate. Do you have any plans?"

Xu Musen planned to probe for some information.

Yao Mingyue paused for a bit and replied with just three words: "Up to you."

Leave it to fate, follow you.

Xu Musen: ...

F*ck! It feels like I\'ve been hit by a buzzer-beater!

For a moment, Xu Musen somewhat fondly recalled Yao Mingyue\'s dominance from their past life, which could sometimes be quite addictive.

Although that sentence could also be interpreted as "Whatever you say."

But that\'s where Yao Mingyue excelled: giving you an answer that could send your imagination running wild—blending sincerity and tactics so well that truth or falsehood no longer mattered.

Xu Musen inwardly clicked his tongue in admiration, Damn, that\'s brilliant!

Forget it, better play the "cold and indifferent player" for a bit.

It wasn\'t long before another new message came.

From An Nuannuan.

This girl usually had a very regular routine. It looked like she stayed up tonight to see her results as well.

"Xu Musen, Auntie helped me check my college entrance exam scores. There was a slight mishap this time, didn\'t do too great, only got 701 points."

Xu Musen\'s mouth twitched as he looked at the glaring text on the screen.

"A slight mishap" "Didn\'t do too great" "Only 701 points..."

To be honest, if it had been anyone else, Xu Musen would have already spat out a mouthful of disdain.

He kind of understood how He Qiang felt just now.

"Nuannuan, that\'s already very good, no need to humblebrag. (Worship)"

"What\'s humblebrag?"

"It\'s like being very pretentious... Never mind, have you decided on a school to apply to?"

An Nuannuan seemed to hesitate for a moment, "I haven\'t decided either, but..."

She trailed off, as if weighing each word carefully.

"Xu Musen, I don\'t want us to be in a long-distance relationship. Can we be together for university as well? (Rose x3)"

Xu Musen looked at the words she playfully twisted, and while he wanted to laugh, something stirred in the depths of his heart.

"I\'ll follow you."

"Want to be together in reality."

Suddenly, Xu Musen was faced with a conundrum.

That was whether he was a bit too popular?
