After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 518 - 237: The White Swan Must Descend to Feast on the Toad (Definite Chapter! 6k)
Outside the front gates of No. 4 High School.
The raised platform was originally intended for a statue.
After the statue was removed, it was left empty.
It turned into the sacred spot for students to make their confessions.
Of those who claimed the title of MVP for several days, Xu Musen was probably the most famous.
He couldn’t remember how many times he had confessed to her here.
Yao Mingyue also lost count of how many times she had rejected him in this spot.
But today, Yao Mingyue was standing in that place.
She wore the same white down jacket as Xu Musen, a fluffy scarf, and the specks of sunset light made her seem like a shimmering sprite in the winter.
In her hand, she held a megaphone.
Her usually aloof voice now carried traces of a girl’s unease and nervousness.
The surrounding gazes were instantly attracted; public confessions were not very rare.
But for a girl to take a stand, that was quite rare, especially when they saw Yao Mingyue’s face, they were even more surprised.
Such a beautiful girl, almost flawless, eighteen-year-old Yao Mingyue still had the vivacity of a young girl amidst her cool beauty.
Like a half-bloomed rose, thorny yet not stabbing, waiting to blossom further, already exuding a captivating scent.
"So beautiful, what is this for, a confession?"
"No way... with that look, does she even need to confess? The line of people chasing after her could stretch all the way to the Yellow River."
"Hey, why do I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere before..."
"Oh, come on, when have you not felt that way about a beautiful girl?"
The crowd’s attention was fully captivated, Xu Musen also stood within the crowd; at this moment, his role seemed to have switched with the previous Yao Mingyue.
Xu Musen gazed at Yao Mingyue, who stood high above the ground.
She was someone who hated doing certain things in public, especially confessing, which she considered to be a rather embarrassing "attention grabber."
But now, she was holding the megaphone, her clear and bright voice wishing that everyone could hear, could see her at this moment, her very own largest "attention grabber."
Yao Mingyue took a deep breath, her gaze sweeping over the dense crowd, and there was Xu Musen who still looked somewhat dazed.
In the past, she always stood below, enjoying the pleasure of his confessions, but now standing here, she felt the gazes of so many on her.
Even she felt indescribable nervousness and unease...
So, that was how he felt, the emotions and courage that allowed him to stand here and confess to her.
Layers of sweetness rose in Yao Mingyue’s heart, but there was also the bitter taste of regret.

Such bravery he had back then, standing here for her, while she just thought about keeping him entirely to herself, never considering his feelings, rejecting him time after time...
Yao Mingyue’s phoenix eyes reflected the sunset sky as she slowly exhaled and held the megaphone in her hand.
"Hello everyone, I apologize for the interruption. I have some words today that I would like to say to someone."
Yao Mingyue’s voice lacked its usual coldness; the girl’s voice was clear, melodic, and full of emotion, giving the onlookers a different feeling.
"Beauty! Is this a confession?"
"Damn! Which lucky son of a gun is going to step forward!"
The students loved to create a commotion.
And Xu Musen, the "male lead," was separated by the crowd, watching Yao Mingyue spellbound, everything about today was unexpected to him.
However, Yao Mingyue seemed as if she had long planned today’s actions.
Yao Mingyue listened to the crowd’s instigation, she smiled faintly, her gaze never leaving Xu Musen.
"Once, he stood here, confessing to me more than once. Yet, I never responded properly. I always thought, if you like me, then you should like me more. You should confess over and over, tell more people, tell everyone how much you like me...
But I always felt that his affection wasn’t enough, that there was something missing. But I never knew what was missing, so I avoided his confessions over and over, wasting his affections, until one day, he said he would never chase after me again, even said that if either of us looked back, we’d be the loser...
Yao Mingyue kept smiling, but there was an unresolved bitterness in her voice. At the last sentence, her gaze followed the crowd and looked straight into Xu Musen’s eyes.
Xu Musen silently watched her.

But those around them were all indignant.
"Such a pretty girl; it’s normal to confess a few times more."
"Damn, that’s like being a lapdog... But honestly, if I had a chance to confess to Liu Yifei, I’d rather be a lapdog too!"
"What do you mean by lapdog? This girl clearly has feelings for him too. She just wants to test him a few more times. Being blindly enthusiastic would actually be being a lapdog, okay."
Xu Musen heard the surrounding murmurs and mentally chuckled.
In reality, by that definition, he wasn’t a lapdog. Just like what Yao Mingyue said, she always felt like something was missing, always afraid of losing it.
Yao Mingyue’s voice came softly again.
"At first, I was angry. I thought, why should he stop chasing me, why should he stop liking me?
It was him who had always said he wanted to be with me forever. Why should he stop liking me? Clearly, I’m so pretty that I could even support him in the future. However you look at it, he’s the unappreciative one!"
