Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 126 Wearing Lin Ruoxi's clothes
The next morning, a ray of sunlight shone on Xue Rui's face.

Xue Rui yawned. He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have a fever last night.

In the fragmentary memories, Lin Ruoxi seemed to be taking care of him.

I don't know if it's true...

He propped himself up and saw the water cup on the table, as well as the cut-open ibuprofen children's granules...

Xue Rui was convinced it was true.

Looking at the sun outside the window, Xue Rui's heart skipped a beat.

The sun is so bright? It's at least eight or nine in the morning. Why doesn't he have class?

Lin Ruoxi didn’t call him either?
"Lin Ruoxi?" Xue Rui raised his head and saw Lin Ruoxi sitting in front of the computer.

"Well, I'll go heat up some food." Lin Ruoxi muttered.

"Did we skip class?" Xue Rui asked.

"I also asked for leave for you this morning when I delivered lunch to my classmates. Director Wang said it was no problem." Lin Ruoxi said in a low voice.

Xue Rui was somewhat helpless. Lin Ruoxi actually went to bring breakfast to her classmates by herself. She had to carry such a heavy thing early in the morning, and the road was so slippery...

"We are not short of money now, so don't bring them lunch next semester." Xue Rui said.

He felt that the purpose of bringing meals had been achieved and there was no need to continue doing it and waste his time and energy.

Lin Ruoxi's ability to communicate with people around her has obviously improved a lot...

Although he always felt that Lin Ruoxi was a little bit stupid, Xue Rui felt that he had tried his best.

"Ah."

Lin Ruoxi responded and stood up to serve Xue Rui some food.

Xue Rui found that Lin Ruoxi was really considerate. Knowing that he didn't want to get up, she specially took a small table and brought the food to his bedside.

They even brought him an iPad and a computer for fear that he would be bored.

"Thank you." Xue Rui said.

He was indeed touched.

"We agreed not to say thank you..." Lin Ruoxi said in a low voice.

Xue Rui just said last night that they didn't say thank you to each other, but now Xue Rui said thank you again.

With a "gulp", Xue Rui swallowed the porridge in his mouth.

He felt that Lin Ruoxi was born with a screw loose.

Whether to say thank you or not depends on the size of the matter, as well as the mood and atmosphere.

You can't never say thank you, right?
"You're right." Xue Rui said.

He didn't want to explain such complicated things to Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi could only fully understand the knowledge in books, but this genius' brain was not so useful when it came to interpersonal relationships.

But since Lin Ruoxi had asked for leave for him, he should just enjoy his vacation peacefully.

Anyway, we will have a holiday at noon today, so there is no need to go to school for half a day.

He doesn’t even have to do his homework… because he didn’t go to school at all, so he can use the excuse that he didn’t know the teacher assigned homework.

This holiday is a chance to relax and unwind.

As usual, Xue Rui took a look around the Apple App Store and was surprised to find that Happy Match had already topped the free rankings.

"Traffic is heavy during the holidays, so our game is on the list." Xue Rui said with a smile.

"Do you want to add more levels?" Lin Ruoxi asked.

She has recently received a lot of user feedback saying that there are too few levels and they can be completed very quickly.

"Do it. Do more on weekends." Xue Rui said.

This game has no end. The more levels the better. The next few thousand levels can bring in a lot of revenue.

He basically designed all the levels, which should not be too easy or too difficult.

The levels designed by Lin Ruoxi were too difficult, and many users complained that they couldn't pass them.

However, Xue Rui would only occasionally add levels designed by Lin Ruoxi to increase the willingness to pay.

He put the computer on his lap and continued to design the game.

After a while, his cell phone rang and he received a text message.

I opened my phone and checked the time, and found that there were more than a dozen missed calls, all from Gu Muxue.

There were also several text messages of apology.

"Xiao Rui, I was too playful yesterday."

"Are you still having a fever?"

"I'll come to your house to see you after school."

Xue Rui suddenly couldn't sit still. It was already eleven o'clock, and Gu Muxue said that she would go to his house to see him after school?

"Lin Ruoxi, I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first." Xue Rui struggled to get up, feeling sore in his back.

If Gu Muxue found out that he was not at home, she would become suspicious...

He grabbed his coat and left.

Lin Ruoxi stood upstairs in a daze. She thought Xue Rui was so weird. He just said he wanted to play games, but now he wanted to go home.

In school, during break time.

"Mengze, do you think Xue Rui will be with Lin Ruoxi?" Yibing asked curiously.

He found that every time Xue Rui was not in the classroom, Lin Ruoxi was not in the classroom either. This was a bit too coincidental.

Qiu Mengze thought for a moment and said, "No, it's just a coincidence."

Gu Muxue was standing at the back door of Class 2 at this time and heard the conversation between the two.

"What is the relationship between Xiao Rui and Lin Ruoxi?" Gu Muxue asked.

"It doesn't matter." Qiu Mengze said these words against his conscience and cursed Xue Rui in his heart.

He subconsciously protected his childhood friend. He didn't know if what he did was right or not. He only knew that if Gu Muxue knew about it, Xue Rui would be finished.

He asked Xue Rui why he wanted to have the best of both worlds.
Xue Rui’s answer was that it was too difficult to choose.

He felt that it made sense, and he wouldn't know what to choose...

However, what Xue Rui said was so irritating that it made him feel so angry.

"Yeah." Gu Muxue nodded.

She also heard that it was Director Wang who asked for leave for Xue Rui in the morning, not Lin Ruoxi.

But why did the fat boy ask this question?

Yibing said casually: "I thought they lived together, but now I think that's not true. Sister Xi even brought me breakfast this morning." He asked Lin Ruoxi in the morning, but Lin Ruoxi didn't say anything.

In fact, Lin Ruoxi would not lie. If she encountered a question she didn’t know how to answer, she would choose not to answer.

Generally speaking, keeping silent is the default.

But Lin Ruoxi didn't talk much anyway, so everyone assumed that she was in a bad mood...

Gu Muxue frowned and glared at Yibing before leaving.

She thought to herself what was he talking about, why would Xue Rui live in a girl's house.

Suddenly, she received a text message from Xue Rui: I'm much better now, lying down and resting at home.

Gu Muxue couldn't help but laugh and stuffed the phone into her arms.

Xue Rui was fine, and she felt much more relieved.

At this time, Xue Rui had already taken a taxi back home.

"Xiao Rui, did you skip class?" Ren Qunfang frowned. It was not time to go home from school.

"We had the day off yesterday. Didn't you know I was at home last night?"

Xue Rui asked back, answering the question with a question.

Now it was Ren Qunfang's turn to fall into deep thought. She had gone to play mahjong last night and didn't pay attention to whether Xue Rui came back or not.

Besides, it’s New Year’s Day today, so there’s nothing strange about the fact that we had a holiday yesterday.

But what she didn't know was that No. 2 Middle School postponed the holiday by one day due to heavy snow.

"Have you caught a cold?" Ren Qunfang heard Xue Rui's heavy nasal tone and asked with concern.

"Mom, I have a headache." Xue Rui sniffed his nose.

"You go out to get some fresh air when you have a headache? Go back and lie down!" Ren Qunfang said with a dark face.

"Oh." Xue Rui nodded, returned to the room, took off his coat, put on a short-sleeved shirt and lay in the quilt.

The heating in his house is too hot, so he has to wear short sleeves.

After a while, Ren Qunfang came up with a bowl of ginger soup.

She touched Xue Rui's forehead and found that he had a fever. She said softly, "Drink it to get rid of the cold."

"Thank you, Mom." Xue Rui said with a smile.

Every time he caught a cold or had a fever, his mother would make ginger soup for him.

Shredded ginger, shredded green onion, and some vinegar were added. It tasted spicy and sour, but Xue Rui still drank it all in one breath, chewing and swallowing the shredded ginger floating on the top.

He hadn't tasted this flavor for many years, and now he felt warm in his heart.

"Have a good rest, I'll bring you food later."

Ren Qunfang touched Xue Rui's head and thought to herself that he had grown so big in the blink of an eye.

After his mother left the room, Xue Rui sneaked into Xue Yao's room.

As expected, this homebody was still playing games, wearing headphones and staring at the monitor intently.

When Xue Rui entered, Xue Yao just glanced sideways and continued to watch the game screen.

Xue Rui walked over and pulled Xue Yao's headphones off: "I slept at home last night."

Xue Yao was stunned: "Oh, what does it have to do with me?"

"I slept at home last night."

"Okay, I get it."

"I slept at home last night."

"you are annoying?"

Xue Yao snatched the headphones and continued to immerse herself in the game world.

Xue Rui nodded, went back to his room and got into bed. He had already made all the arrangements for the two people at home. Even if Gu Muxue asked, they would only give a positive answer.

At around noon, Ren Qunfang brought the meal to Xue Rui's room.

Xue Rui took a few bites and stared downstairs.

Soon, a familiar Audi car stopped downstairs of his house.

Xue Rui hurriedly got into bed and lay there motionless.

Not long after, Xue Rui's door was pushed open by Gu Muxue, who was carrying a large bag of snacks and fruits.

"Xiao Rui, I brought you some food." Gu Muxue looked a little unnatural.

She really wanted to apologize to Xue Rui, but she felt that Xue Rui would go too far and take the opportunity to make demands.

Xue Rui smiled and thought that this little girl was too arrogant. The snacks in her hand were her apology letter, and she would never say anything.

But she was very satisfied with Gu Muxue's attitude. He said leisurely: "It's okay, I just have a fever of 70 or 80 degrees."

Hearing Xue Rui's full-bodied voice, Gu Muxue frowned: "Then why aren't you cooked yet?"

When she came in, she was thinking about Yibing's words. She also asked Xue Rui's mother and got the answer that Xue Rui slept at home last night.

What was even more strange was that before she asked Xue Yao, Xue Yao said: My brother slept at home last night.

But it doesn’t matter anymore, she just asked casually to put herself at ease.

"Look at your room, it's as messy as a doghouse and you don't even know how to clean it up." Gu Muxue scolded and picked up the clothes that Xue Rui had thrown on the bed.

"I'll reluctantly help you clean up today."

She didn't know what to do with Xue Rui in the room. She only knew that it was because of her that Xue Rui caught a cold and had a fever.

So she wanted to do something for Xue Rui.

She picked up a piece of clothing and recalled in her mind how the nanny at home folded clothes.

After folding the clothes for a long time, they were twisted and turned and still didn't look right.

Xue Rui looked at Gu Muxue with a smile, thinking that this little girl would not apologize with words but liked to apologize with actions.

Judging from the way this little girl does things, she probably has never done housework before.

He didn't plan to teach her either, as he wanted to see how Gu Muxue could fold the clothes.

However, he suddenly saw the three words "Lin Ruoxi" written on the label inside the school uniform.

Xue Rui's smile froze on his face instantly.

The school uniform was distributed in the first year of high school. Lin Ruoxi's school uniform jacket was the same size as his, both were 175cm tall.

The design of school uniforms always leaves a lot of redundancy, so even though Xue Rui has grown taller, he doesn't feel small.

This resulted in him wearing Lin Ruoxi's school uniform when he went out...

He didn't notice it along the way.
