Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 19 There is no grass anywhere in the world

Xue Rui shared all his past embarrassing experiences with Gu Muxue, causing Gu Muxue's shoulders to tremble.

Of course, he did not forget to put the blame on his old father.

"Uncle Xue is also a strange man. It seems that I can't blame you entirely. Let it go this time, but you are definitely not allowed to lie to me in the future! Otherwise... Otherwise..."

Gu Muxue pouted, thinking of some harsh words to threaten Xue Rui.

Before she could think clearly, Xue Rui spoke first.

"I swear, I will never lie to Gu Muxue, otherwise I will die suddenly before I turn 30." Xue Rui raised three fingers to the sky.

In fact, he did not live to be thirty in his previous life. Strictly speaking, this is not a poisonous oath, it is just a statement of fact.

"What are you talking about? Don't say such things casually!"

Gu Muxue was furious and knocked Xue Rui's raised hand down with chopsticks.

"I think this oath is very good." Meilili nodded. This is the respect that one should have for the goddess.

"Xue Rui, I feel like you've changed. How should I put it? Like when you were in elementary school? But also a little different."

Gu Muxue looked at a cherry and fiddled with the handle. She couldn't tell what Xue Rui was feeling right now.

Although Xue Rui always looks carefree.

But since he started pursuing her, he became polite in front of her. I can’t say he was very polite, but he knew his limits.

But Xue Rui is different now. His eyes have changed, as if he has lost some expectation? Longing?

Moreover, he no longer considered her feelings in his behavior. He still sat on her desk in the afternoon and no longer responded to her "orders".

It’s just like when I was in elementary school, I always liked to go against her and make her cry at the slightest provocation.

She secretly glanced at Xue Rui, who had his legs on a table and was picking his teeth with a grin.

The Xue Rui in the past would never do this, at least not in front of her. He would be like a gangster.

Is it because she rejected Xue Rui too many times that Xue Rui gave up on her?

But Xue Rui confessed his feelings every day, which means at least a thousand times in four years. How could he give up just because of one rejection?
Could it be that yesterday’s rejection was the last straw that broke the camel’s back for Xue Rui?
She fell into deep thought, thinking about the reason she used to reject Xue Rui yesterday.

"I am still the same boy as before, but my soul has changed a little bit, it has been sublimated." Xue Rui smiled carefreely, not taking it to heart at all.

Of course he has changed. Now, inside this young body, there is a person who is 28 years old in actual age, 29 in lunar age, which means he is half old when rounded off.

Perhaps this sixteen or seventeen-year-old Xue Rui really likes Gu Muxue, and Gu Muxue is the only one in his life.

When old Xue Rui, who had experienced many ups and downs, faced this relationship again, he did not have any expectations.

When Xue Rui couldn't contact Gu Muxue during his freshman year, he was depressed for a while.

Now he just treats it as planting a seedling casually. If it doesn't bloom, he will just pretend nothing happened. If he picks the fruit, it will be a pleasant surprise.

The willow fluff on the branches is blown away, but there is always fragrant grass everywhere in the world.
Keep your expectations low and life will be full of surprises!
"I don't care what you've sublimated, you have to come to me in the first shift, otherwise you'll get into a lot of trouble again."

Gu Muxue said seriously.

Xue Rui is like a mosquito coil. Although she will be choked if she gets too close, if there is no mosquito coil, the mosquitoes around her will surround her instantly.

"Confess to you once a day?" Xue Rui looked suspicious. He didn't want to do such a stupid thing.

But he changed his mind and felt that teasing Gu Muxue was actually quite fun. Otherwise, how could he get through the long high school years when every day seemed as long as half a century?

He jumped off the chair, knelt on one knee, and said very seriously: "Mu Xue, marry me."

Gu Muxue turned her neck stiffly, a blush appeared on her face, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I'm going home!"

She fled away, fearing that Xue Rui would say something embarrassing again.

"Mu Xue, wait for me!"

Mei Lili also jumped out of the window, leaving Xue Rui alone in the empty classroom.

"I haven't said this before?"

Xue Rui held his chin up in thought, at least judging from Gu Muxue's reaction, that's what he thought. He thought, this shouldn't be the case. Was I so shy when I was sixteen or seventeen?

……

After cleaning up the mess, I prepared to go to evening self-study.

But Xue Rui was called to the office by the head teacher.

"How is Lin Ruoxi?" Xue Xiaying asked.

"Very good. I ate a lot in the afternoon." Xue Rui answered truthfully.

"Well, go back."

Xue Rui looked confused, thinking that he was just a tool, and was specifically called over just to ask Lin Ruoxi?
Yes, Lin Ruoxi is second in the grade, which teacher wouldn’t treat her like a treasure?

Xue Rui saw a middle-aged man walk into the office and immediately recognized him as the head teacher of Class 1, Grade .

He joked, "Teacher Guo, I am reporting your class Gu Muxue by real name. She skipped the evening self-study class."

Teacher Guo was holding the thermos cup, and was stunned at first, then he said happily:

"It's fine if she's skipping class. She might be tired. Some students are under a lot of pressure and have mental problems. I think Gu Muxue is quite good at self-regulation."

Xue Rui: “…”

As long as your name is on the list, there will be great scholars to debate for you.

If it were someone else, I guess Mr. Guo would not have this attitude.

But Gu Muxue is the top student in the grade, and because she studies well, she can do whatever she wants.

"What Mr. Guo said makes sense. I heard that someone from that school jumped again. Oh, that's tragic."

Xue Rui made up a few vague remarks and added, "I think Lin Ruoxi is fine physically, but her mental state is not good."

In fact, some things don’t need to be stated too clearly, people will make their own associations.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Xue Xiaying looked serious. It was the first time she encountered such a situation. It was too tricky and she didn't know what to do for a moment.

There are no signs of this kind of thing before it happens, and there is no way to prevent it.

Xue Rui saw Xue Xiaying was guided by his words, and a curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Lin Ruoxi’s questions are really difficult.

Even Xue Rui, who was reborn, had no clue at all. He only knew that Lin Ruoxi committed suicide, but he didn't know why.

He couldn't get anything out of Lin Ruoxi.

Or rather, Lin Ruoxi herself didn't know why, because something that directly led to her suicide had not yet happened.

"Aunt, do you know the Self-Rating Depression Scale? It's a scale for evaluating mental health."

Xue Rui put forward this suggestion at an appropriate time.

In 2012, mobile Internet was not yet popular, there were no "electronic questionnaires" for students to complete, and few schools took the initiative to do this.

He actually wanted to borrow the office's printer, and also wanted to give Xue Xiaying a heads-up in advance so that she would keep this matter in mind.

By then, if Lin Ruoxi really has mental problems, Xue Xiaying can be prepared.

"Huh? I looked it up, and Mr. Xue's nephew is quite knowledgeable. This is indeed feasible."

"You can give it to the students during their evening study time."

A female teacher who was surfing the Internet in the office spoke up.

This teacher is a man of action. While she was speaking, the printer had already started working.
