Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 17 He is still so considerate

Xue Rui asked his family to order sick meals, three meals a day, so he didn't have to go to the cafeteria this week. Every time at mealtime, he just had to return the tableware and get a new thermal box.

However, Lin Ruoxi only had nutrient solution once a day, so she could only eat one meal in the school clinic, which made Xue Rui feel a little regretful.

Xue Rui wanted to go to the school infirmary to enjoy the air conditioning and watch cartoons.

It’s definitely not because I can see black stockings.

……

It was dinner time at school, and Xue Rui got another sick meal.

There is a wooden shelf in the incubator with various dishes on it.

Xue Rui first picked out two dishes at random and gave them to Lin Ruoxi, then carried the thermal box to find Gu Muxue.

He wanted to have dinner with Gu Muxue, as they had made an appointment.

In my mind, the memories of Gu Muxue gradually became clear. Gu Muxue changed from a little girl with a runny nose to the graceful young lady she is today. It is true that girls change a lot when they grow up.

Coincidentally, he and Gu Muxue were really destined to be together. They went to the same elementary school, the same junior high school, and were even classmates in high school.

It was just that when he was in elementary school, Xue Rui liked to bully Gu Muxue, catch caterpillars to scare people, and put his hands in Gu Muxue's neck to keep warm in the winter...

It was not until junior high school that Xue Rui saw Gu Muxue being confessed to by another boy.

At that moment, he suddenly realized that if Gu Muxue was with other boys, he would no longer be able to bully this little girl.

So, he took the initiative and imitated those suitors, starting to pursue Gu Muxue madly.

At first it was out of the little boy's competitive spirit.

It's like "the grasshopper I caught is bigger than yours", a meaningless comparison.

But later, Xue Rui came to his senses and he really wanted to pursue Gu Muxue.

Maybe it’s because of hormones, or maybe it’s because... Gu Muxue is so beautiful.

To put it simply, you are just greedy for someone's body.

He made an appointment with Gu Muxue today to have dinner in an empty classroom at the end of the corridor. Because the classroom was remote and almost no one came, there would be no crowd around.

The door of the empty classroom was locked, but the back window was broken, so you could get in by jumping through the window.

Occasionally, there are couples acting sneaky inside, holding hands, kissing, etc.

However, the students all had a tacit understanding and would not go in if they saw someone inside.

This was the first time he and Gu Muxue had a tryst in such a private environment. He felt itchy in his heart, expecting something to happen that "never happened" in his memory.

"Eh? Why are you here too, Light Bulb?"

When Xue Rui saw Mei Lili was there, his mood suddenly became less good.

He moved swiftly and jumped in carrying the incubator.

"If you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your brain."

"Mu Xue, I got this especially for you."

Xue Rui took out a pile of plates from the incubator in a mysterious manner and filled the table with them.

Although he asked for three portions, in reality, when family members cook for each other, the amount of food will definitely be larger, and because girls eat less, these three portions are more than enough for four or five people.

Gu Muxue couldn't stop the surprise in her beautiful eyes. She thought Xue Rui just went out to buy something, but she didn't expect it to be such a sumptuous dish.

"You bought it at Qunfanglou? You asked me for money just to buy this?"

Gu Muxue's tone was blaming.

If it were normal times, she wouldn't say anything if Xue Rui bought a few more vegetables.

But if it came from Qunfang Building, then it would be worth a lot of money. She thought that since they were still students, Xue Rui's behavior was no different from those boys who pretended to be rich.

She didn't want Xue Rui to have too much financial burden because of pursuing her.

"What is Qunfanglou? Is it expensive?" Mei Lili muttered while chewing on a prawn. She thought the dish was delicious and the plate looked high-end.

Gu Muxue sighed, "It's very expensive. The most expensive restaurants in Hedong City can sell a table of dishes for five or six thousand during festivals."

When Mei Lili heard the number "five or six thousand", she suddenly felt that the shrimp in her hand seemed to be glowing with gold. Her parents' monthly salary was only enough for a table of dishes.

"The price will double during the holidays, you can't calculate it this way." Xue Rui said cheerfully.

"You are the only one who has many crooked ideas. Who would go to such an expensive restaurant to eat except during festivals?"

Gu Muxue picked up the chopsticks and found that the dishes were very light, which was too abnormal.

Xue Rui has a strong taste, especially spicy food, and her taste is similar to Xue Rui's. Xue Rui saw that Gu Muxue was slow to pick up her chopsticks, and suddenly became nervous, wondering if she had discovered something.

This was the sick meal he got under the name of Lin Ruoxi. He made up a random excuse:

"I noticed you didn't look well, so I ordered something light."

Gu Muxue's cheeks blushed. Xue Rui was still so considerate and calculated the days of her "relatives" so accurately.

I specially bought hot milk tea yesterday and ordered such a suitable dish today.

A warm current rose in her heart, spreading to every part of her body, and her lower abdomen was no longer so uncomfortable.

"Thank you, but I won't agree to your request. At our age, the most important thing is study."

Gu Muxue's tone was somewhat helpless, Xue Rui's grades were really too bad.

However, she had already forgiven Xue Rui in her heart.

Especially when Xue Rui said that she was "unworthy" in front of so many people in the cafeteria, she was angry for a long time.

"Just eat, why do you always say things that make me feel sick?" Xue Rui said dissatisfiedly.

It was already annoying enough to have Mei Lili as a light bulb, and Gu Muxue not only rejected him mercilessly again, but also mentioned his academic performance at this time. Doesn't this make him even more upset?

"Don't do this again. Don't order such expensive food next time." Gu Muxue warned.

"I've booked Qunfanglou this week, and ordered two meals every day."

Xue Rui thought that he would have a meal alone with Lin Ruoxi in the infirmary.

So he reduced his three meals a day to two.

"Where did you get the money?" Gu Muxue was surprised. How much would it cost to eat this for a week? Even her small wallet could not afford it.

Not to mention Xue Rui, the poor boy who often comes to eat her snacks.

"Oh, by the way, here's the 250 yuan you gave me, but you didn't use it." Xue Rui returned the money to Gu Muxue.

First, a few hundred dollars is of little use.

Second, he had no habit of carrying cash, and if he put it in his school uniform pocket, it would be lost sooner or later.

He never carries cash—except when he washes his feet.

"Where did this food come from?" Gu Muxue was even more confused. Xue Rui didn't spend any money.

"Qunfanglou is owned by my family. We have known each other for so many years. How come you don't even know this?" Xue Rui looked incredulous.

But on second thought, he didn't know what Gu Muxue's family did, he only knew that there was a car to pick her up and drop her off every day, and the conditions were very good.

He smiled and thought there was nothing strange about it since the two families didn't know each other.

"You told me before that your father was a cook and was too busy to come home every day."

"My mother is a homeless housewife. She has to do handicrafts until late every night. Her fingers are all blistered."

“My grandparents barely made a living by farming.”

With every word Gu Muxue spoke, her tone became colder and colder, and at the end her voice even trembled a little.

Gu Muxue's face turned red with anger.

Xue Rui lied to her so badly!

She always found ways to help Xue Rui, and was afraid that Xue Rui would find out.

I’m afraid that one day I’ll accidentally hurt this big boy who appears to be “strong on the outside” but is actually “fragile on the inside”.

She had never doubted Xue Rui before, because every time it was her birthday, among so many people who gave her gifts, the one given by Xue Rui was the most shabby.

Others give Swarovski as gifts, but Xue Rui gives cartoon stickers, under the pretext of keeping a childlike innocence.

Others gave stuffed animals as gifts, but Xue Rui gave a bunch of key chains, saying it was a token of their love for each other.

She didn't believe that a boy who cared so much about her would be so perfunctory in giving gifts simply because of financial difficulties.

Gu Muxue also felt that what matters most about a gift is the thought behind it. Even though the things Xue Rui gave her were very cheap, the intention behind them was often higher than those given by others, so she kept them well.

However, she only found out today that Xue Rui, this shameless guy, is actually a rich second-generation!
In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed on Xue Rui, because his family adheres to the belief of "raise boys in poverty and girls in wealth", which resulted in Xue Rui having no pocket money at all.

There wasn't even enough money to go to the Internet cafe, so how could Xue Rui spend money on buying gifts?
Xue Rui got the cartoon stickers from his sister.

As for the keychain...

That's a gift for eating at KFC.
