Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 125 "Ghost Girl" Lin Ruoxi
Xue Rui came to the dog hole and tentatively stuck his head out to look around.

"You can't trust your intuition."

Xue Rui sighed and was about to go back to the classroom to find Lin Ruoxi.

However, Lin Ruoxi suddenly appeared from his sight.

"What are you hiding here for?" Xue Rui was shocked. Lin Ruoxi was actually waiting for him here.

Lin Ruoxi was really brave. It was pitch black next to the dog hole, and she squatted quietly in the corner by the wall.

Lin Ruoxi lowered her head. She scared Xue Rui, but she didn't dare to apologize to him. She thought that it would be okay if she was scolded.

However, Xue Rui did not scold her. He just crawled out and shivered.

When a person is very cold, the body's subconscious reactions are beyond their control.

"Are you cold?" Lin Ruoxi hurriedly took off her scarf, raised her hand and put it around Xue Rui's neck, covering his face.

Smelling the unique faint fragrance on Lin Ruoxi's scarf, he felt a lot warmer.

"You are still smart." Xue Rui did not refuse, but praised Lin Ruoxi instead.

After winter came, Lin Ruoxi wore very warm clothes, putting on one layer after another under her school uniform. She was as fat as a penguin. I don’t know if it was because the old lady asked her to wear those clothes.

"Thank you."

Lin Ruoxi's mouth corners lifted unconsciously. Xue Rui seldom praised her, so "witty" meant to praise her for being smart.

"What are you thanking me for?"

Xue Rui found it very strange that this girl wrapped the scarf around his head and even said thank you to him.

"You...you said that when someone praises me, I should say thank you." Lin Ruoxi said in a low voice.

Xue Rui smiled silently, thinking that Lin Ruoxi was really hopeless. She only said thank you when faced with compliments from strangers.

"You don't need to say thank you to me in the future. Don't you know? People who have a good relationship with each other rarely say thank you." Xue Rui reminded him.

"Hmm..." Lin Ruoxi nodded. She felt that what Xue Rui said made sense. Students who had a good relationship with each other in school basically didn't say thank you.

She kept Xue Rui's words in mind.

She felt like she had one less thing to say.

But Xue Rui said he had a very good relationship with her...

She couldn't tell how she felt, she felt happy and relieved...

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening and the temperature outside was getting lower and lower.

Xue Rui specifically looked for snowy areas where he had never walked before. Lin Ruoxi followed behind him with her head down, and every step she took happened to be on the footprints left by Xue Rui.

Xue Rui took big steps, so she followed suit and took farther steps. Xue Rui would occasionally take a small jump to avoid a stone on the roadside, and she would also follow suit and take a small jump without making any sound.

Xue Rui felt very quiet. The only sound he could hear was the sound of his own steps on the snow, as if he was the only one walking there.

He looked back and saw Lin Ruoxi standing there blankly, staring at him.

He suddenly discovered that there was only one row of footprints left on the snow where the two people had walked.

It is said that ghosts do not leave footprints when they walk...

Xue Rui looked down at Lin Ruoxi's shadow. Lin Ruoxi was standing in the shadows, with no shadow at all...

"Gudong." Xue Rui swallowed his saliva.

There was no one on the street, and because the ground was slippery, there were no vehicles in sight. He suddenly felt a chill on his back.

He remembered some classic ghost stories...

The snow mountain expedition team encountered an avalanche. Some people said that everyone was killed and only he survived.

And when those people came back, they said that only one person died and they were alive and well...

Who should be believed?
A thought suddenly flashed through Xue Rui's mind: Is the Lin Ruoxi in the dog hole really Lin Ruoxi?

Why did he come to the dog hole to find Lin Ruoxi?

What if... the real Lin Ruoxi is waiting for him in the classroom?

The thought that flashed through his mind made his hair stand on end.

After being frightened for a moment, Xue Rui thought to himself, he had died once, so why would he be afraid of ghosts?

He thought to himself that if the female ghost was so beautiful, it would be worth it.

But when he looked carefully... he found that Lin Ruoxi was stepping in his footprints.

After knowing the reason, Xue Rui sighed helplessly. People are like this, they always like to scare themselves.

"Come here!" Xue Rui pinched Lin Ruoxi's little face and pulled her forward.

"Ugh...it hurts." Lin Ruoxi squinted her eyes and took a few steps forward.

She could feel that Xue Rui was a little angry, but she didn't know why.

Xue Rui suddenly understood Qiu Mengze's thoughts. Lin Ruoxi always did everything quietly, which was really a bit scary sometimes...

"Hold my arm." Xue Rui raised his arm slightly, motioning Lin Ruoxi to hold his arm.

The reason why he walked in the snow was because the snow had great friction and it was not easy for him to fall.

But there was no snow ahead, only slush that had been crushed by countless vehicles.

After nightfall, the snow mud mixed with water was frozen into a smooth ice surface, which was very dangerous to walk on and it was easy to slip if you were not careful.

He felt it was safer to walk with someone supporting each other, and he could help Lin Ruoxi if she slipped.

Lin Ruoxi's eyes widened slightly. She had seen this many times on the street. This was an action that only lovers would do.

But she did not hesitate, and gently hugged Xue Rui's arm with a slight smile on her face.

Xue Rui felt that when he was with Lin Ruoxi, he always had nothing to talk about.

He just felt that Lin Ruoxi was too boring and didn't have any of the liveliness of a young girl.

If Gu Muxue walked this distance with her, she would probably either play snowball fights with him or pull him along to slide on the ice.

But Xue Rui thinks it is fine this way. Although it is a bit plain, plainness is also a kind of beauty.

It was very relaxing to be with Lin Ruoxi. He never had to hide anything, nor did he have to consider what Lin Ruoxi was thinking.

Because he knew that although this girl looked weak, she was actually very strong inside and not that sensitive.

The journey that was supposed to take ten minutes took half an hour because the road was too slippery. When Xue Rui arrived downstairs of Lin Ruoxi's building, he took out his cell phone and took a look. It was almost half past ten, and the dormitory door would be locked in a while.

"I'm leaving." Xue Rui waved his hand.

However, Lin Ruoxi grabbed the corner of Xue Rui's clothes and said weakly: "Aren't you going up?"

Lin Ruoxi felt that the road back to school was too slippery. She was afraid that Xue Rui would fall, and there was no one on the road...

Xue Rui thought that Lin Ruoxi had no sense of security at all.

Normally, he would go upstairs and sit for a while after school, but today it was already this late, so he would definitely not come out after sitting there.

Isn't this creating danger for yourself?

"I won't come out after I go upstairs. I'll sleep in your bed today." Xue Rui joked.

"Hmm..." Lin Ruoxi nodded.

That's what she thought.

"Huh?" Xue Rui was surprised. Lin Ruoxi wanted to keep him overnight?

Xue Rui looked into Lin Ruoxi's eyes, which contained a hint of worry and pleading, which softened his heart.

"Okay, if the old lady doesn't agree, I'll leave." Xue Rui said.

He guessed that Lin Ruoxi might think it was too dangerous to walk at night, so she let him stay here.

After the two went upstairs, a gust of warm wind blew into the room.

As usual, Da Huang rubbed Lin Ruoxi's legs at the door.

Xue Rui sat down on the sofa.

After warming up, a feeling of fatigue spread over my body.

He took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Yibing, saying that he would not return to the dormitory that night.

He was so tired that he didn't want to go out after entering the warm house...

He thought to himself that if the old lady didn't let him stay, he would not leave, so he would stay here today.

The old lady was sitting on the sofa next to Xue Rui. Seeing Xue Rui's appearance, she thought that he was probably frozen.

"Grandma..." Lin Ruoxi asked tentatively.

"Okay, you can stay here today."

The old lady said something and turned and went into the house.

She knew that the road outside was slippery and it was not safe for Xue Rui to go back alone. Moreover, she saw that Xue Rui's face was a little red, so he might have a fever.

"Old lady, aren't you afraid?" Xue Rui said with a smile. He felt that the alternation between cold and heat was too harmful to the body. Now his face was a little hot and his head was dizzy.

"You also need strength." The old lady said with a smile.

She didn't ask Lin Ruoxi to sleep with her because it was useless.

Her silly granddaughter would still sneak out in the middle of the night...

Xue Rui felt so sleepy that as soon as he lay down, his body felt like it was welded to the sofa and he didn't want to get up at all.

"Young people just sleep a lot." Xue Rui's eyes were blurred and he lay down.

He had played too much with Gu Muxue today, and now he just wanted to have a deep sleep.

Lin Ruoxi brought out some foot washing water for Xue Rui and saw that Xue Rui had fallen asleep on the sofa.

She walked to Xue Rui and gently pushed him: "Go...sleep on my bed, okay?"

Xue Rui did not respond, but buried his head in the pillow of the sofa.

Lin Ruoxi walked to the side and touched Xue Rui's cheek.

"Fever?" Lin Ruoxi suddenly became nervous.

"Grandma, I'm going out to buy some medicine." Lin Ruoxi greeted the old lady and wrapped herself in layer after layer of clothing.

When she went downstairs, she put on the wrong coat and went down wearing Xue Rui's clothes.

After coming back, Lin Ruoxi wanted to carry Xue Rui to bed to sleep, but Xue Rui was too heavy for her to carry him.

"Can you get up and go to bed?" Lin Ruoxi asked in a low voice.

"Okay..." Xue Rui was drowsy and followed Lin Ruoxi, leaning on his shoulder.

Lin Ruoxi was dazed. She felt that Xue Rui, who was half asleep and half awake, was just like a child and would obey whatever she said.

She made the medicine for Xue Rui, tested the temperature with her lips, and then put it to Xue Rui's mouth.

"Drink some water." Lin Ruoxi helped Xue Rui up.

And Xue Rui also drank the medicine obediently.

"I have a fever?" Xue Rui felt his head was heavy and he didn't know if he was dreaming.

"Lie down." Lin Ruoxi laid Xue Rui flat, covered him with a quilt, and then went to prepare a cool towel for Xue Rui.

She moved a chair and sat quietly beside him.

She put the computer on her knees to pass the time, and Da Huang lay quietly at Lin Ruoxi's feet.

Lin Ruoxi would get up from time to time to change Xue Rui's towel...

Today is New Year's Eve, and there is a lot of New Year's Eve news on the Internet.

She saw a post in which two people were together on New Year's Eve, which meant they had walked from this year to next year.

I glanced at the time on the computer and it was already 23:50.

Xue Rui's fever subsided after taking the medicine.

She put down her computer and quietly put her face close to Xue Rui. She didn't know how to spend New Year's Eve.

时间一分一分的流逝，很快到了2012年12月31号23点59。

Lin Ruoxi felt that she should not miss this moment. She bit her lip and gently hugged Xue Rui who was sleeping.

Until the computer shows 2013...

Lin Ruoxi felt delighted. Although it was only a few minutes, it felt like she had been hugging him for a year.
