Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 13 Trust between People
Lin Ruoxi usually doesn't know how to say no, but she is so sensitive and stubborn when it comes to money.

Xue Rui said coldly: "You fainted because I asked you to eat too much yesterday. You gave me money? Do you want me to feel guilty for the rest of my life? You are such a vicious woman."

Lin Ruoxi stood there in a daze, tears welling up in her eyes. She raised her hands and shook her head repeatedly: "No...no...that's not what I meant, I just..."

Seeing Lin Ruoxi's bewildered expression, Xue Rui threw the money on Lin Ruoxi's bed and softened his tone: "Then put it away."

"Oh..." Lin Ruoxi picked up the money woodenly, and lay obediently on the bed, staring at the ceiling with her big eyes, without any light in her eyes.

Those were not the looks that belonged to this age. There was no innocence in his eyes, only endless melancholy.

Everything in the infirmary was snow-white, making Lin Ruoxi's face look even paler.

Xue Rui didn't sleep well last night. When he lay down now, he felt extremely tired. He smelled the faint smell of disinfectant and fell asleep on the bed in the infirmary.

After an unknown amount of time, he was pulled up by his ears.

"Who is it? It hurts!"

Xue Rui shouted in a daze, and when he came to his senses, he found that his aunt Xue Xiaying had come and was staring at him angrily with murderous intent in her eyes.

"Don't disturb Lin Ruoxi, come out and talk." Xue Xiaying narrowed her eyes.

Xue Rui was held by his ears, with even his shoes casually dragged on his feet, and walked out of the infirmary on tiptoe.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have forced Lin Ruoxi to eat so much." Xue Rui took the initiative to plead guilty, thinking that as long as he had a better attitude, he could definitely avoid a beating.

"What? You caused Lin Ruoxi to faint?" Xue Xiaying's face suddenly turned cold.

Xue Rui swallowed nervously, thinking that Lin Ruoxi didn't "sell" him, so he sold himself first.

He only felt that in late August, an autumn breeze suddenly blew across the east coast of the river, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill.

As soon as Xue Xiaying arrived at school, she was scolded by the head teacher because of the "slogan" that Xue Rui shouted in the morning.

She hadn't settled the score with Xue Rui yet. She thought that Xue Rui was enthusiastic about helping his classmates, so a few simple criticisms would be fine. After all, Xue Rui was a sticky piece of candy, and no matter how she talked about it, it would be the same.

However, the "culprit" behind Lin Ruoxi's incident turned out to be Xue Rui, which made her unable to bear it any longer.

Xue Xiaying kicked him, and her hands were not idle either, pinching Xue Rui's waist continuously.

Teachers cannot physically punish students, but an aunt can beat her nephew.

"Ah! My dear sister, you need to be gentler and more rational, or you won't be able to get married!"

Xue Rui ran and shouted, and his shoes fell off, which made the security guard laugh so hard that his forehead wrinkles deepened.

"What do you care! Lin Ruoxi is already so miserable, and you still bully her!"

Not until Xue Xiaying calmed down did Xue Rui pick up his shoes from the surroundings, stutter a few times, and put them on his feet.

"You can't blame me entirely. How would I know there's such a thing as a weak constitution that cannot be nourished? I just saw that she was too thin, so I wanted her to eat more." Xue Rui felt a little aggrieved.

Xue Xiaying panted and glared at Xue Rui fiercely. Xue Rui was about 1.80 meters tall and had a strong physique. Even if she was serious, she couldn't change Xue Rui, this sticky piece of candy.

After listening to Xue Rui's explanation, Xue Xiaying calmed down a little and looked Xue Rui up and down: "You are quite capable. The teachers in our office can't do anything about Lin Ruoxi's matter."

"How to say?"

"Our teachers pooled together and put a lot of money into Lin Ruoxi's meal card, but she didn't spend any money and she's still so thin." A look of heartache flashed across Xue Xiaying's face.

Xue Rui thought so too. Lin Ruoxi is such a quiet, well-behaved and beautiful child. Who wouldn’t feel sorry for her?

Such children often guard their pitiful self-esteem and dare not accept other people's kindness. They may feel ashamed or afraid that they cannot pay it back.

"Anyway, since you have a way to make her eat until she vomits, then you have a way to make her full." Xue Xiaying wanted to pat Xue Rui on the shoulder, but she saw Xue Rui jump up reflexively and said through gritted teeth: "I don't eat people!"

"Who knows..." Xue Rui muttered.

"What?!!"

"Stop! Aunt, please lend me your cell phone. I'll prepare hospital meals for Lin Ruoxi for a few days." Xue Rui said with a flattering look.

Seeing Xue Rui getting serious, Xue Xiaying handed him a cell phone from her bag.

"What? Mom, I'm sick, very sick, so I want to eat steamed sea bass, steamed egg with shrimp, blanched okra, winter melon ribs, coconut chicken... Have someone send it to school, remember to order three servings."

Xue Rui listed a lot of dishes in one breath, all of which were light food.

After a long time, Ren Qunfang's sarcastic voice came from the other end of the phone:
"I see you're taking a long breath, how can you look sick? And you want to buy three portions? Do you want to use our food to exchange for money with your classmates, and then sneakily go online?"

Xue Rui: "I find it's really hard to build trust between people. We've been friends for so many years, and you actually doubt me, mom."

He thought his mother was too smart to prevent him from earning pocket money. However, he seemed to have done so before, so it was no wonder that Ren Qunfang was on guard.

"Oh my, how could I not know what kind of virtue you have?"

"This time is really different. Didn't you see that I called you from my aunt's phone? Talk to my aunt."

Xue Rui handed the phone to Xue Xiaying. He knew that with his image, there was no chance.

"Hey, sister-in-law, Xiao Rui is doing a good deed this time. It's not what you think."

"Xia Ying, can he still do good things?"

"Really? Xiao Rui sent a fainted girl to the infirmary this morning."

"I feel relieved with Xia Ying watching over me. Tell Xiao Rui to pick it up at noon."

……

"Let's go shopping together when you have a day off?"

"Okay, okay, I will definitely accompany my sister-in-law this time." Xue Xiaying chatted with Ren Qunfang about family matters with a smile and hung up the phone.

"Alas~My family status." Xue Rui sighed helplessly.

Xue Xiaying patted Xue Rui on the back and said, "If you had good grades, would your mother not believe you?"

"Aunt, it's pointless for you to expose other people's shortcomings. Let me ask you, you are only seven or eight years younger than my mother. Look at my mother, she is only 36 years old, her son is in high school, and her daughter is about to take the high school entrance examination..."

Xue Rui kept on nagging, totally unaware of Xue Xiaying's expression, which was already so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out of it. Her fingers were pinched until they turned white, and she unknowingly moved closer to Xue Rui's waist.

"what!!"

Xue Rui's screams almost attracted the school leaders. Xue Xiaying then gave up and left angrily. Before leaving, she specifically told Xue Rui to take good care of Lin Ruoxi.

"Hiss~ Whoever marries this woman will be unlucky for the rest of his life."

Xue Rui covered his waist and walked into the infirmary cursing. Suddenly he remembered that Lin Ruoxi might be sleeping, so he quickly kept quiet and walked lightly to a chair nearby and sat down.

Xue Xiaying asked for a whole morning off for him. She thought that since Xue Rui would sleep wherever he went anyway, he might as well do something serious and take care of his classmates.

Lin Ruoxi had already been given an injection and two bottles of nutrient solution. Xue Rui walked over and adjusted the infusion machine a little slower. He thought to himself that Doctor Liang was really careless. Why was he giving such a weak girl the injection so fast?

Looking at the sleeping Lin Ruoxi, Xue Rui fell into deep thought.
