Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 129 Take Care of This Beast
"Me?" Xue Rui pointed at himself in disbelief.

Damn it, he’s a software engineering major, how could he know this stuff?
Out of interest, Xue Rui knows a lot about digital hardware, but he only scratches the surface and has no idea how to perform board-level repairs.

The range of professions is a bit too wide.

"Yeah." Lin Ruoxi nodded, looking at Xue Rui with her big watery eyes, with a hint of expectation and admiration in her eyes.

Xue Rui gritted his teeth. If it were someone else, he would definitely think that this was a mockery of him, as if to say "If you can do it, then do it."

But this was Lin Ruoxi, and she had no ill will towards him.

And what man could refuse this pitiful and admiring look? He had to go for it even if he had to bite the bullet!

But Xue Rui can.

He coughed twice and said, "I admit that what I said just now was too superficial. I shouldn't have stereotyped occupational genders. As the saying goes, women hold up half the sky. You should come."

Xue Rui did not try to show off, he still had self-awareness.

"Well, this is too simple. It's just that there are some places with poor soldering and the chip is burned." Lin Ruoxi picked up the soldering iron and continued to repair the air conditioner motherboard.

Xue Rui looked dazed. What did Lin Ruoxi mean by this?
Too easy, not worth his effort? Shouldn't he use this phrase when he's bragging?
Will Lin Ruoxi ask him difficult questions in the future?
He didn't know what image he had in Lin Ruoxi's mind.

Is he an omnipotent being?
In order to prevent Lin Ruoxi from finding things for him to do, Xue Rui added: "People need to learn to break through themselves. If you don't know something, you should study it more and think from multiple angles. It's not good to ask me."

"Ah."

Lin Ruoxi felt that what Xue Rui said made sense, and that many things could be learned as long as one thought about them more.

Watching Lin Ruoxi blow out the chip from the air conditioner motherboard with a bit of unfamiliarity, and then replace it with a new one and solder it on, she smiled with joy after testing it with a multimeter.

Xue Rui's eyes twitched. Is that it?

He hesitated only for a moment because he felt that he should not doubt the genius Lin Ruoxi.

The air conditioner was hung very high, but Lin Ruoxi was not short either, so she could reach wherever Xue Rui could reach by just tiptoeing.

Besides, Lin Ruoxi had no intention of asking Xue Rui for help.

"Let me do this." Xue Rui took the air conditioner motherboard.

He doesn't know how to repair the motherboard, but he knows how to install it. Every interface is designed to prevent mistakes, so as long as one has a normal brain, it is impossible to plug it in incorrectly.

In fact, no matter what equipment is being repaired, the casing is usually installed only after testing is completed.

But Xue Rui quickly connected the wires and directly installed the air conditioner casing.

This is a trust in the talented girl.

He switched on the power and pressed the remote control.

With a "beep" sound, the buzzer sounded and the air conditioner started to work normally.

Xue Rui was not too surprised that Lin Ruoxi could repair air conditioners. After all, she was a genius who had read a lot of books on digital electronics and analog electronics, so she had a solid foundation.

Xue Rui was surprised by Lin Ruoxi's hands-on ability.

Thinking about it carefully, he didn't teach Lin Ruoxi anything at all. He just acted as a guide, giving Lin Ruoxi some guidance from time to time. The rest was all Lin Ruoxi learned on her own by looking up information.

Although the computer science major is like this, the university only provides a learning atmosphere, the teacher plays a role of guidance and supervision, and the students mainly rely on self-study...

He turned his head to glance at Lin Ruoxi, who was looking at him with admiration, with little stars twinkling in her eyes.

He just installed a shell, and Lin Ruoxi did all the difficult parts.

But this little girl is so good at providing emotional value.

Xue Rui held the remote control, feeling a sense of accomplishment, as if he had repaired the air conditioner...

"I spent two thousand yuan to buy these." Lin Ruoxi looked at Xue Rui with an inquiring look.

She thought it was a good idea to buy the maintenance tools. Although the initial investment was a bit more, it would save her a lot of money in the future.

She used the money in the bank card and had to report it to Xue Rui.

"You don't need to tell me such trivial matters." Xue Rui said.

He walked to the corner of the room and rummaged through Lin Ruoxi's toolbox. Not only were there all kinds of electronic components, but there were also wrenches, screwdrivers, sandpaper, and other things in the big box...

This is not something a girl should have. Shouldn’t girls of this age buy a makeup box?
Why are there still files?

Looking at the iron powder on the sandpaper, Xue Rui suddenly remembered something.

The spikes on the fence of the school dog hole were worn away by Lin Ruoxi...

He thought it was done by a kind-hearted student, but it turned out to be this little girl.

Lin Ruoxi only knew how to do things silently behind the scenes and never told him what she did.

If he hadn't come today, Lin Ruoxi wouldn't have told him after she fixed the air conditioner.

Xue Rui believes that if you do good things, you should speak out about them, otherwise who would know that you did good things?
Children would take credit for doing something great, but Lin Ruoxi didn't do that.

Xue Rui sighed. With Lin Ruoxi growing up in such an environment, who could she ask for credit from? Who could she get praise from?

The old lady doesn't talk much and has a bad reputation in the village.

If she knew how to educate her children, how could Lin Ruoxi's father be that kind of scumbag?

Xue Rui recalled that when he was chatting with the villagers of Hua Village, he talked a lot with an old man, who was Lin Ruoxi's elementary school teacher.

He still remembers what the old man said: girls are good at studying only when they are in primary school, but not anymore after that.

Living in a repressive education environment, Lin Ruoxi habitually hides herself and keeps silent.

Xue Rui thought about it carefully and realized that when he first discovered that Lin Ruoxi was a genius, he was shocked.

In the following life, because of Lin Ruoxi's personality problems, he adopted the attitude of educating a child, and most of his words were critical.

As for the teachers at school, there wasn’t much praise for them, as if everyone was used to such geniuses?
Lin Ruoxi won first place in the city, but what she got in return was the habitual fake smiles from the school leaders when they presented the awards, and the "formal" applause from the students below the stage...

Is this really what Lin Ruoxi wants? She seems to have never laughed about these things.

Ten thousand applause from outsiders is not as good as one recognition from family members. Xue Rui knows this.

“She has done so much for me…”

"What's the difference between what I do and what that beast does?"

"Does a genius not need recognition?"

"The position I hold in her heart now...should be enough..." Xue Rui kept questioning himself.

After hesitating for a moment, he touched Lin Ruoxi's head and said with a smile: "Xixi is really amazing. I can't fix this air conditioner."

Lin Ruoxi's body stiffened. Xue Rui didn't blame her for spending money recklessly, but instead praised her?
Her nose felt sore, her body trembled slightly, and the world in front of her eyes became blurry.

"I……"

Lin Ruoxi felt her throat was tight and she couldn't utter a word.

I should be laughing, why am I crying?
Xue Rui said he likes to see me smile.

But why am I so disappointing?
Lin Ruoxi tried hard to give Xue Rui a smile, but she couldn't control her tears, which kept sliding down her cheeks.

The tear marks were like a clear spring, as if they could wash away the teardrop mole at the corners of the little girl's eyes.

Xue Rui reached out to wipe away Lin Ruoxi's tears and held the crying little girl in his arms.

"Praise her more in the future." Xue Rui said in his heart.

Lin Ruoxi could no longer control her emotions and buried her head deeply in Xue Rui's arms.

Xue Rui only felt a tremor in his arms, as if he was holding a shivering little animal, rubbing his chest and making it itchy.

He stroked Lin Ruoxi's head and said nothing.

After a long time, Lin Ruoxi left Xue Rui's arms: "Thank you."

Xue Rui was stunned. Has this girl finally come to her senses? She knows what words to use in what situations?
However, the next moment, Lin Ruoxi was like a child who had done something wrong. She hurriedly shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

She remembered that Xue Rui didn't let her say sorry, so she quickly covered her mouth...

Lin Ruoxi's little feet, which were wearing pure white cotton socks, were subconsciously clasped together because of nervousness.

Xue Rui smiled helplessly: "Go wash your face, I'll wash the dishes today."

He thought Lin Ruoxi had finally come to her senses, but then this little girl almost made herself cry because she used the wrong word...

Lin Ruoxi responded, ran to the bathroom and locked the door.

She felt her cheeks were so hot and she rinsed them with cold water over and over again.

After wiping her face with a towel, Lin Ruoxi thought about going out to wash the dishes.

Hearing the "ding-ling-bang" sounds coming from the kitchen, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth as she sat in the corner of the bathroom.

She felt so weird today, crying and laughing at the same time.

She didn't even know what she was happy about...

I felt like I had never been so happy.

When she passed by the mirror on the sink, she glanced at herself in the mirror and quickly looked away.

She didn't want to look at herself, so she rarely looked in the mirror.

Just as Lin Ruoxi grasped the door handle, she took a deep breath and turned to look at herself in the mirror.

Looking at myself, there didn't seem to be anything strange.

"So, this is what I look like?" Lin Ruoxi looked at the mirror curiously.

She felt that the person in the mirror looked so strange, as if she had become a different person.

She imitated Xue Rui and pulled her cheeks, and found that she looked so funny, and couldn't help laughing again...

"You little bastard, what did you do to Xixi?" the old lady said with a dark face.

Xue Rui had just come out of the kitchen washing dishes when he heard the old lady slandering him. He immediately became furious: "Old lady, please don't slander someone's innocence."

"Xixi just ran to the toilet crying, and you still say it wasn't your fault?" the old lady said unhappily.

Xue Rui actually said that he had tarnished his innocence. How can a man be innocent?

A man and a woman are alone in the same room. Shouldn't she be worried about her granddaughter?

"Why are you washing the dishes today? You must have done something wrong." The old lady sneered.

"What are you talking about?" Xue Rui's face became more and more ugly.

Is his image so bad? He was just washing dishes, but the old lady regarded it as a sign of "atonement".

"Wang Wang Wang!"

When Da Huang heard the two people arguing, he once again stood beside the old lady to cheer her on.

"Stop making noise, it's disturbing others." Xue Rui kicked Da Huang.

Da Huang dodged and took the opportunity to bite Xue Rui's clothes.

At this time, Lin Ruoxi happened to come out of the bathroom, with a faint smile still in the corner of her eyes.

"Xixi, he didn't hurt you, did he?" asked the old lady.

Lin Ruoxi shook her head slightly.

Da Huang and Xue Rui were both stunned, but their expressions were different.

Xue Rui smiled smugly: "Look, this beast is biting me again, are you going to do nothing about it?"

Da Huang licked his lips, and his face actually showed a flattering look...
