Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 141 How did you become smart?
Afternoon activity time.

Gu Muxue spent the entire afternoon thinking about Lin Ruoxi's words.

Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi eat together and go to school together...

In her mind, she imagined the two of them going to school together, chatting and laughing, and her chest felt suffocated...

But Lin Ruoxi also said that if she got close to Xue Rui, he would be aggressive to her.

Does this mean that they keep a safe distance between them? Xue Rui doesn't like Lin Ruoxi?

In short, she wanted to hear Xue Rui's personal explanation.

"Why haven't you come yet?" Gu Muxue turned her head and looked out the window from time to time.

She usually doesn't look at Xue Rui well, but Xue Rui would always tangle with Mei Lili at the back door of their classroom during daily activities.

Ever since she stepped on Xue Rui's foot at noon, she has been waiting for Xue Rui to come.

Today she didn't let Mei Lili stop Xue Rui, but Xue Rui didn't come?
Xue Rui stood at the front door of Class 1, watching Gu Muxue looking back from time to time, and thought that this little girl finally couldn't help it.

He really admired her. Normally, Gu Muxue would not have been able to endure it for even a week, but this time she ignored him for more than half a month.

He must be very angry, so his attitude today must be more sincere.

Suddenly, the cell phone in his pocket vibrated and made a buzzing sound.

The classroom was very quiet at this time. The students were either studying or playing outside. However, the vibration of the cell phone still attracted Gu Muxue's attention.

Xue Rui saw that the call was from an unfamiliar number in another place, so he walked to a distance and answered the call.

"Hello, is this Ms. Wang? We are from Leyou Company..."

"Get lost!" Xue Rui cursed angrily and hung up the phone.

He originally wanted to sneak up to Gu Muxue, but his plan was ruined by this harassing phone call.

He deliberately limped and walked to the seat next to Gu Muxue.

"It hurts so much. I haven't recovered yet." Xue Rui said with a grin.

Gu Muxue felt a little guilty. When she stepped on Xue Rui's toes at noon, she put all her whole body weight on him. Would she hurt Xue Rui?

She had never been stepped on by anyone before, so she didn't know whether Xue Rui was really in pain or just pretending to be in pain.

However, she assumed that Xue Rui was pretending to be in pain because he often teased her like this.

Gu Muxue turned her head coldly, thinking that today was already the twenty-fourth day, and there was only one week left to complete a month. This was the first time she had ignored Xue Rui for such a long time, and she felt that she had become difficult to appease. She must endure for a month and teach Xue Rui a lesson.

Because she had been suppressing her anger for too long, Gu Muxue often sulked alone, and now she was just sulking with herself.

"Mu Xue, are you hungry?" Xue Rui took out two hot chicken legs sprinkled with red chili powder from behind.

He noticed at noon that Gu Muxue had hardly eaten a single bite, and several hours had passed now, so she must be a little hungry.

Gu Muxue wanted to say that she was not hungry, but when Xue Rui dangled the chicken leg in front of her, her stomach suddenly growled.

Suddenly, the little girl's face turned red to her ears.

She wondered why her stomach was so weak. Didn't she have some snacks before? Why was she hungry again?
"Let's each have one. I just got this from the cafeteria kitchen. It's still warm."

He had just traded the chicken leg with the chef in the cafeteria for a pack of cigarettes.

Gu Muxue raised her eyebrows and snatched away two chicken legs, not leaving any for Xue Rui.

Seeing Gu Muxue snatching away the two chicken legs, Xue Rui thought that this would be easy, as Gu Muxue finally showed the willingness to communicate.

However, Gu Muxue just turned her head to eat the chicken leg and had no intention of speaking.

Xue Rui did not speak actively, but silently opened a level 53 test paper and lay over Gu Muxue's desk to do the questions.

Gu Muxue was gnawing on a chicken leg while secretly watching Xue Rui doing his homework.

Xue Rui noticed Gu Muxue's gaze and deliberately made mistakes in a few questions.

Making some particularly stupid mistakes in front of good students is like disrupting the neatly arranged books of a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Gu Muxue felt itchy inside. She wanted to correct Xue Rui, but she held back when she remembered that she had sworn to herself.

"It's so difficult..." Xue Rui muttered.

Looking at Xue Rui scratching his ears and cheeks, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

It's been less than a month and Xue Rui can't do the questions again. It turns out that Xue Rui can't live without her.

As for what was going on with Lin Ruoxi, she was not very clear, but it seemed that Lin Ruoxi really could not teach Xue Rui.

Gu Muxue didn't say anything. She reached out and used a pencil to tick the correct answer on Xue Rui's test paper.

She thought about it and wondered if she could communicate through writing, would that not violate the oath she had made?
Gu Muxue wrote a line on Xue Rui's paper: What is your relationship with her?
Xue Rui thought about it and felt that this was really hard to explain.

He and Lin Ruoxi just ate and worked together, and they didn't cross the line...

"Ahem..." Xue Rui hesitated for a moment, then said calmly, "I'm her boss."

Gu Muxue's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she quickly wrote a line: "Explain it clearly!"

Xue Rui felt that what he said was not wrong. Lin Ruoxi worked for him, and he paid Lin Ruoxi a salary...

"I can't complete the project by myself, I need to hire employees," Xue Rui explained.

"Then why didn't you tell me!" Gu Muxue gritted her teeth.

When she said this, she quickly covered her mouth. She broke her own rules.

She kept thinking in her mind. The day she made the vow was in February, and now it was mid-March. Rounding it off, it was equivalent to ignoring Xue Rui for a whole year.

After finding a self-deceiving excuse for herself, Gu Muxue felt much better.

"Hedong is an agricultural city, where can I find programmers?" Xue Rui looked aggrieved.

What he said was also true. There is no Internet industry in Hedong, even after ten years.
Programmers can earn 10,000 or 20,000 yuan in first-tier cities, so who would go back to Hedong to find a job that pays 3,000 or 4,000 yuan? They don't even pay for social security, so you have to be mentally ill to stay here.

As for working online? The workflow these days is still not perfect, and the communication efficiency is too low.

To be precise, Xue Rui actually had no choice.

"Why didn't you tell me? I asked my mother to help you find it." "Speak clearly, give her a place to live, give her food..." Gu Muxue muttered softly.

Gu Muxue was furious. What made her most angry was that Xue Rui had kept the secret from her.

"Alas, her family is very poor, and I just wanted to help her out. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would misunderstand."

"Lin Ruoxi's salary is very low. As long as she is provided with food and shelter, that's enough." Xue Rui said with a smile.

The more Gu Muxue listened, the angrier she became. It was unexpected that Xue Rui could be such a black-hearted boss.

"You are not allowed to exploit others!" Gu Muxue pinched Xue Rui's arm.

She thought of her own company, which also provided accommodation and canteens for its employees.

Isn't it just the company dormitory and work meals? Why did Lin Ruoxi say it so strangely?
She sighed and thought that the girl had a big problem with her personality and couldn't even speak clearly.

"Definitely not!" Xue Rui looked righteous.

What he said was true. Lin Ruoxi didn't care whether she got paid or not. She would even give him her only remaining 200 yuan.

Of course, he would not really treat Lin Ruoxi unfairly. The money in his account could be used by Lin Ruoxi at will.

But whether the girl needs it or not is none of his business.

"Have you considered replacing a more professional employee? My uncle has a lot of programmers." Gu Muxue suggested, looking at Xue Rui's reaction.

"Well... don't consider it. She never writes comments when writing code. She was the one who did all the previous projects. The cost of replacing her is too high." Xue Rui said seriously.

"Oh." Although Gu Muxue knew that this was a work-related matter, she still felt a little unhappy.

She grabbed Xue Rui's paper and circled many questions of the same type as before: "After you finish all these, I will explain them to you."

She has known Xue Rui for many years and knows that Xue Rui doesn't like studying. The reason why he works so hard now may be to go to school with her.

She is going to Chang'an Jiaotong University. As for Xue Rui, he said that it depends on his grades and that the University of Posts and Telecommunications is also a good choice.

In fact, she wanted to apply to the same school as Xue Rui, but Gu Qingshan was watching them too closely, so it was impossible for them to go to the same university...

In another year, the two will live in the same city.

As for a genius of Lin Ruoxi's level, he will definitely be snatched away by Peking University and Tsinghua University...

Therefore, Lin Ruoxi could not be in the same city with her, and Xue Rui would only have her by his side in the future.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared in the corner of Gu Muxue's eyes.

Xue Rui still feels a little uneasy now, as if something is missing and this matter is not completely over yet.

Suddenly, his hand was grabbed by Gu Muxue. In his astonished eyes, Gu Muxue bit him with her two rows of neat and white teeth.

Xue Rui finally let go of his worries.

Every time Gu Muxue bit him, the matter was completely over.

……

After seeing Gu Muxue off the campus, Xue Rui walked towards the dog hole.

On the way, his phone vibrated. It was a text message from Gu Muxue: "If you lie to me again, I will bite you to death!"

Xue Rui thought that he had almost exhausted Gu Muxue's trust this time. If he found out something again next time, he would not be able to explain it.

Both girls are so pure and lovely.

Lin Ruoxi, that girl, still doesn’t understand what love is or what love is. She spends every day looking up all sorts of random questions on the Internet, and I don’t know if she has learned anything.

As for Gu Muxue, she clearly likes him but doesn't want to say it out loud. She has a hot-tempered and arrogant personality. After so many years of relationship between the two, they can understand each other's emotions without saying anything.

"Oh~" Xue Rui sighed and looked through the fence of the dog hole. Lin Ruoxi was waiting for him at the door.

When climbing out of the railing, Xue Rui touched the place that Lin Ruoxi had polished smooth. It was round and smooth as if it had been polished.

"Who bit you? Does it hurt?"

When Lin Ruoxi saw the teeth marks on Xue Rui's hand, she felt distressed and grabbed Xue Rui's hand and blew on it gently.

Why was Xue Rui’s hand bitten again?
Judging from the teeth marks, it must have been bitten by a girl: "Did classmate Gu Muxue bite it?"

Xue Rui's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, how come you suddenly became so smart.

Xue Rui nodded: "Yeah, she's like this when she's angry. Didn't you see Qiu Mengze chasing me and hitting me? In fact, we're just playing."

"Hmm..." Lin Ruoxi gently stroked Xue Rui's palm.

She couldn't understand why good friends would hurt each other?

Return to Lin Ruoxi's home.

Xue Rui was browsing various news online as usual, thinking about seizing the opportunities of the times, while Lin Ruoxi was cooking in the kitchen.

After a long time, Lin Ruoxi handed Xue Rui a fried dough twist.

Xue Rui frowned. He didn't like eating such greasy food. Why did Lin Ruoxi fry fried dough twists?

Lin Ruoxi has a good memory and will not forget his taste.

"On February 2, the Dragon raises its head. You must eat fried dough twists, or you will be bitten by scorpions."

Lin Ruoxi broke off a piece of the twisted tail and put it to Xue Rui's mouth.

Her grandmother told her this when she was a child. She remembered that Xue Rui was stung by a scorpion on his hand last year, so she specially fried some fried dough twists for Xue Rui to eat.

Xue Rui bit the fried dough twist and felt a little uneasy. Is there such a saying?

He felt that Lin Ruoxi was hinting at something. Was she talking about Gu Muxue biting him?
Scorpion bite? Could it be a reference to Gu Muxue's vicious heart?

After Lin Ruoxi left, Xue Rui began to search the Internet for the customs of the second day of the second lunar month.

"Huh~" Xue Rui breathed a sigh of relief. He was too nervous and was afraid of everything.

In the rural areas of Hedong, this custom does exist...

Yes, how could such a simple and kind little girl have such thoughts?
