Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 16 Chocolate

Hong Zihan smiled slightly. He was waiting for Gu Muxue to say this.

Gu Muxue often uses this sentence to reject others. Most of the people who confess their love to her often feel ashamed of themselves because of their poor academic performance.

But he is different, his grades are among the best.

"Mu Xue, you are first. I was third in the last exam, so I am a little far away from you."

Hong Zihan's face was filled with heartache and regret, as if ranking third in the grade was a very shameful thing. This made the onlookers' eyes twitch, because it looked like he was not pretending, he was serious.

Soon, Hong Zihan cheered up again and said with a determined look: "But! I asked my mother to enroll me in a cram school. I will definitely get second place in the next monthly exam!"

Xue Rui thought to himself, since your expression is so serious, I thought your goal was to be the first in Hedong, but you actually want to be the second?

"I will never allow anyone else's name to stand between you and me!"

Hong Zihan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. When he thought that his name would be next to Gu Muxue's, he was so excited that he could hardly control himself. The hand holding the chocolate was shaking slightly.

"Fuck, this guy is too abstract!" Xue Rui couldn't help it anymore, because he suddenly had a moment of guessing what Hong Zihan was thinking through his expression.

He was not the only one who guessed the same thing. Many people looked disgusted and got goose bumps all over their bodies.

Gu Muxue heard a familiar voice coming from the crowd. She raised her head and her eyes wandered among the crowd until she saw Xue Rui's face. Her snow-white, slender neck stopped moving.

Everyone followed Gu Muxue's gaze and spotted Xue Rui in the crowd.

"Brother Rui, why did you come just now!" someone asked in surprise.

Gu Muxue also gave Xue Rui a resentful look, as if she was complaining.

Hong Zihan was stunned on the spot. He thought his chance had come when he heard that Xue Rui had stopped pursuing him. He didn't expect that this idle student would come to find Gu Muxue again.

"Xue Rui, you!" Hong Zihan was actually very afraid of this kind of students. It was said that this kind of students were not only arrogant in school, but also lawless outside of school.

His mother repeatedly warned him not to hang out with students like this, saying that making friends with such people would ruin his life.

But, he couldn't show his weakness in front of the person he liked. He was organizing his words, thinking about how to drive Xue Rui away without losing face.

"What are you?"

Xue Rui sneered, walked through the crowd, sat at the table next to Gu Muxue, looked down at Hong Zihan who was half-squatting, and kept cracking melon seeds in his mouth.

Then he shook the melon seeds in his hand and casually handed it to Gu Muxue, motioning Gu Muxue to grab a handful as well.

Hong Zihan was very disdainful of Xue Rui's behavior. He was holding chocolates worth hundreds of dollars in his hand, but Gu Muxue didn't even look at him.

Xue Rui actually used melon seeds? How cheap! It insults Gu Muxue's image!
However, under his shocked gaze, Gu Muxue raised her white wrist like a swan, gently pecked at Xue Rui's palm, and picked up a melon seed.

"Click"

The crisp sound of melon seeds breaking could be heard between the red lips and white teeth.

Yes, Gu Muxue cracked a melon seed.

However, to Hong Zihan, it was not just the cracking of melon seeds, but his broken heart.

"Gu Muxue, you can't be with this bad student, he will ruin you!"

Hong Zihan said tremblingly.

Gu Muxue lowered her beautiful eyes: "I just ate a melon seed, I didn't say I agreed to him."

Hong Zihan was silent, and Gu Muxue did not agree.

However, he seemed to feel that he had already lost in this competition.

"I just saw the teacher enter the office!"

The student standing guard at the door reminded.

Xue Rui seemed not to hear and continued sitting at the table eating melon seeds.

But Hong Zihan became nervous. He didn't want to be discovered by the teacher, so he put down the chocolate and left in a hurry.

"Mu Xue, one day I will make you understand my feelings!"

Hong Zihan shouted this before leaving.

Xue Rui thought this sounded familiar, and it was very similar to the plot of the cartoon he watched in the school clinic, where Big Bad Wolf shouted, "I will definitely come back!"

There seems to be no difference between these two sentences.

"Damn, how can someone like this get third place in the grade?" Xue Rui scratched his head. The top three in this school were really weird.

Meilili picked up the chocolate and chased after him, but the boy ran too fast and had no intention of looking back.

Gu Muxue felt uncomfortable when she looked at the box of chocolates.

"Come here, here's the third-best chocolate in the grade. Eating it will increase your IQ." Xue Rui smiled, tore open the chocolate wrapper and distributed it to the students around him.

"Xue Rui! I didn't say I agreed to him, why are you taking apart his things? Send them back to him." Gu Muxue said angrily.

"That kind of person is too proud to suffer. You'd be slapping him in the face if you sent it back. I think he would rather jump off here than let anyone know that his chocolate was returned by you."

Xue Rui thought that this kind of student was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, and he would suffer a lot in the future in terms of love. What was a box of chocolates? Just consider it as paying the tuition fee in advance.

"His chocolate? I get goosebumps just thinking about it. I won't eat it!"

A girl said, holding her shoulder, with no disguising the disgust in her eyes.

"I don't want to eat it either!" many students echoed.

Because of everyone's disgust towards Hong Zihan, this innocent box of chocolates was implicated.

Once someone starts this kind of thing, the students will follow the herd mentality and feel angry, as if whoever eats it will become as greasy as Hong Zihan.

But Xue Rui is a mature old man, and he can clearly distinguish between people and things.

A greasy man is a greasy man, and chocolate is chocolate, there is no connection between the two.

He waved his hand and said, "If you don't want to eat it, forget it. I'll take it to Class 2."

"Hehe." Many people smiled meaningfully.

They followed Xue Rui, eagerly waiting for him to distribute the chocolates to the students in Class 2.

What they thought was that after the students in Class 2 had eaten the chocolate, they would secretly tell them the "source" of the chocolate and play a good trick on their good friends in Class 2.

Xue Rui smiled helplessly. Teenagers are just so childish.

"It's time to eat chocolate. Everyone gets a share." Xue Rui gave chocolate to everyone he met.

"Brother Rui, where are you from?" Yibing asked.

"Don't worry about it, just eat first." A male student from Class 1 urged with a smile.

"This……"

Yibing suddenly had a bad feeling. The more his bad friend said this, the more he suspected there was something fishy going on...

Xue Rui was too lazy to pay attention to these childish guys. He took out two chocolates and gently placed them on Lin Ruoxi's table.

"Don't refuse. Everyone has a share. This is your share."

Xue Rui spoke up, and he thought to himself, a beautiful girl like this only needed to part her hair and slightly raise her head, and countless chocolates would come pouring in, and it would not be his turn to give any.

"Thank you." Lin Ruoxi thanked him in a low voice, her voice so small as if she was afraid that a third person would hear it.

Xue Rui suddenly had a bad idea, and came forward and whispered: "They are both the same, but I secretly gave you two, hide them quickly."

Lin Ruoxi was very obedient. While no one was paying attention, she quickly picked up two heart-shaped chocolates wrapped in tin foil and quietly hid them in her sleeves.

Xue Rui smiled and touched Lin Ruoxi's head, like a gangster teasing a girl, causing Lin Ruoxi to shrink her neck.

Lin Ruoxi held the chocolate nervously and felt that the chocolate in her palm was particularly hot.

Only after Xue Rui left did she slowly loosen her grip.

She always felt that Xue Rui seemed to be teasing her, but after looking around, she found that she did have one more chocolate than others.

Why give me one more?
She couldn't understand why she was being treated specially.

Looking down at her palm, Lin Ruoxi discovered that the chocolate seemed to have melted. Some of it flowed out from the gap in the tin foil and stuck to her palm, feeling sticky.

The red lips opened slightly, and a touch of pink brushed across the palm.

"Chocolate...it's really sweet."

In the corner of the classroom where no one is paying attention, under the girl's cascading hair;
A stunning smile is quietly blooming.
