Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 257 Lin Ruoxi's unique romance

Gu Muxue was furious. It was the first holiday after she and Xue Rui confirmed their relationship, and Xue Rui actually said that they shouldn’t celebrate it?
Does it mean that he does not approve of their relationship?
Xue Rui: Mu Xue, look, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the Chinese Valentine's Day every year, but one day in heaven is one year on earth, so the Cowherd can only see the Weaver Girl once a year, while the Weaver Girl can see the Cowherd every night.

This was an excuse Xue Rui made up. If one day in heaven is equal to one year on earth, then the cowherd would have trained for a whole year just for one night...

And the Weaver Girl is having fun every night...

This cowherd, is he a serious cowherd?
Of course, he didn't dare say such words to Gu Muxue, as he would definitely get beaten for such an excuse.

Creditor: Hmm? ?
Xue Rui: You see, this is unfair.

Creditor: But, you and I are both in the human world [pouting]

Xue Rui: Mu Xue, I actually think the ending of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is tragic and really unlucky. I don’t want to have that kind of ending with you.

Creditor: Okay.

Xue Rui thought that there must be some complaints behind these two words, so he thought for a moment and replied: As long as we are together, every day can be a holiday.

Creditor: Humph! Go and do your thing.

Xue Rui: It’s okay, I can chat with you secretly while I’m working.

Creditor: Has your notice arrived? Don't lose it.

Xue Rui: My aunt kept it for me.

……

Gu Muxue held up her little face in a daze. She knew that Xue Rui might not have time, but it didn’t seem right. It seemed that Xue Rui really didn’t want to celebrate the Chinese Valentine’s Day.

Is Xue Rui so superstitious? How come she never knew about it?

Maybe, some people were not superstitious before, but when they get older they often pray for blessings. She also went to the temple with her mother, and she seemed to have prayed for a wish at that time.

Now, that wish seems to have come true...

Xue Rui chatted with Gu Muxue for a while and thought that the little girl must still have some complaints in her heart, so tomorrow's gift would be to compensate her.

He cut out some of the little girl's festivals, and basically cut out all the Gregorian calendar festivals, using the excuse that they would not celebrate foreign festivals.

The little girl found an excuse to lose a few pounds during the lunar festivals. Of course, Gu Muxue is not as easy to fool as Lin Ruoxi. She will definitely feel resentful after a long time. She has to find other ways to make up for it...

"It's time to eat." Lin Ruoxi shouted, pulling out a chair for Xue Rui.

Xue Rui smelled the fragrance of food filling the room and thought that this was the breath of life. Sometimes he also wanted to stay with the little girl and live a simple life. A life where the man farmed and the woman weaved was also something he had fantasized about before.

Unfortunately, people are always greedy.

If his childhood sweetheart married someone else, he would never be able to accept it!

Do I have to watch Gu Muxue get married with my own eyes and then say "I wish you happiness"?
He is not that magnanimous, so he has no choice but to take it all.

Xue Rui consoled himself in his heart for his scumbag behavior.

People always have to deceive themselves.

The little girl stood obediently by the dining table waiting, as if she would not sit down unless Xue Rui came over.

Xue Rui was lying on the sofa with one arm stretched out. The little girl immediately understood what Xue Rui was going to play. She ran briskly to Xue Rui, grabbed Xue Rui's arms with both hands, and pulled Xue Rui up from the sofa.

After Xue Rui got up, he deliberately pressed on Lin Ruoxi's shoulders. Lin Ruoxi smiled and half-dragged and half-carried Xue Rui to the dining table.

"You're so lazy." Yu Minlan shook her head. Xue Rui needed someone to help him get up from the sofa.

She felt that the meal was inedible, so she simply picked up the bowl and sat in the corner of the balcony in the living room, locking herself in.

Xue Rui naturally heard Yu Minlan's whispered complaints, but there was nothing he could do!

The little girl is so diligent every day and takes care of everything. He will become more and more lazier around her.

"If you continue like this, you will make me a useless person." Xue Rui said seriously. Now there is already such a sign. When he is with Lin Ruoxi, he doesn't want to move at all. He feels that standing up seems very difficult.

He knew that this was a habitual dependence. Not only did the little girl depend on him, he also felt the same way about the little girl.

The little girl's eyes flickered. She knew what Xue Rui meant. She glanced at Xue Rui weakly and whispered, "But I just want to do it."

"Well, when the time comes, you'll need someone to feed you when you eat or drink." Xue Rui said shamelessly.

"Well, that's OK." Lin Ruoxi picked up a piece of fried celery and pork for Xue Rui with chopsticks and gently brought it to Xue Rui's mouth. She placed her other hand next to Xue Rui's chin to catch the grease dripping down, as if she was feeding a child.

Xue Rui had a dull expression. He ate the food brought by the little girl with his mouth opened and muttered, "No need to feed me today. I'll talk to you later."

Yu Minlan was eating noodles on the balcony, wondering why the French window couldn't be closed tightly. She didn't want to hear it!
Xue Rui slurped the noodles. He only felt at ease when eating with the little girl. Perhaps his stomach had become accustomed to the food cooked by the little girl.

Xue Rui joked: "I think you are very scheming. You have spoiled me so much that I can only stay by your side."

Yu Minlan smacked her teeth as she listened to this. She ate and took things at the same time, and she still said that the other person was scheming?

When Lin Ruoxi heard this, her eyes suddenly sparkled: "Yes, why didn't I think of it?"

"Huh?" Xue Rui let out a light exclamation. He was just joking, but the little girl took it seriously?

"I want to cook for you every day." Lin Ruoxi said in a low voice.

Xue Rui smiled helplessly. The little girl's confession was often so direct.

Will he agree? When will he agree?
He actually never considered this because he knew the little girl would never leave.

Maybe, anytime, but the little girl never dared to ask her.

Lin Ruoxi is different from Gu Muxue. Gu Muxue dares to force Xue Rui to confess his feelings, and she will find other ways even if Xue Rui disagrees.

But Lin Ruoxi has lived in poverty since she was a child. There is no room for error in life. One wrong step would lead her into the abyss. She dare not make mistakes and dare not take risks.

Even though the little girl was sure that Xue Rui had a 99% chance of agreeing, she was still afraid of the remaining % possibility.

To be precise, Lin Ruoxi couldn't bear Xue Rui's rejection.

Xue Rui changed the subject and said, "Director Wang said the notice has arrived."

Lin Ruoxi nodded and said, "Well, the school called me this morning and asked me if I was going to school."

Xue Rui paused for a moment. Chang'an University of Posts and Telecommunications called Lin Ruoxi?

But this is normal.

It's like a short, poor and ugly old man suddenly meets a beautiful, rich and white girl in her early twenties, and the first thing she says is: Let's get married?
If the top student in the country goes to a non-key first-class university, you must confirm it.

"What did you say?" Xue Rui asked.

"I said I'll listen to my parents." Lin Ruoxi said in a low voice, and then looked at Xue Rui timidly.

If Xue Rui doesn't go, then she definitely won't go either.

Xue Rui took a deep breath. He could now imagine the confused faces of the people at the school. What kind of parents could an orphan have?
Moreover, if he was the person in charge of Changyou, his first guess would definitely be - did this girl apply for the wrong major?
"After you go to school, don't be as diligent as you are now." Xue Rui warned in a deep voice.

Lin Ruoxi is a little socially anxious. The environment that the little girl is currently in was provided by him. Whether it is her friend Yu Minlan or her colleagues in the electronics factory, they are not actually equal relationships. Lin Ruoxi is the superior, so how dare an employee bully the boss?

But the little girl has to face a different environment after all. She has an equal relationship with her classmates, while Lin Ruoxi, who does all the work, is easily treated as a soft persimmon.

He knew that when Lin Ruoxi was in school, the class was divided into groups to clean the classroom. Many students threw all the heavy work to Lin Ruoxi, and Lin Ruoxi never refused.

Lin Ruoxi had a dazed expression and didn't understand what Xue Rui meant.

"Don't try to please anyone. Everyone's job belongs to them. If someone harms your interests, you must speak up..." Xue Rui kept giving instructions on how to get along with people of the same age and when to be tougher.

Yu Minlan sat on the balcony and nodded slightly, thinking that this bastard finally taught her something useful.

"Well, but I want to please you, is that not possible?" the little girl said weakly.

Xue Rui swallowed his saliva. Sometimes the little girl was too straightforward, which made him unable to respond. Seeing the little girl waiting for his answer nervously, what else could he say except "yes"?
Xue Rui nodded slightly: "Okay, is there anything else you don't understand?"

The little girl thought about it and expressed her concerns: "Well, I'm very beautiful. My colleagues in the factory said that men like people like me. There are many boys in the university..."

Xue Rui raised his head suddenly and looked at Lin Ruoxi in disbelief. So you have known this all along?

Why does this sound so Versailles?

However, considering the little girl's appearance and figure, it is normal to have such concerns. What is abnormal is that Lin Ruoxi actually said it herself. It seems that those old men have taught Lin Ruoxi a lot of experience.

"Then what? What are you going to do?" Xue Rui asked with a smile. To be frank, the little girl was still a little naive.

"Well, I...I plan to listen to you." Seeing that Xue Rui was full, Lin Ruoxi stood up to clean up the mess on the table.

Xue Rui sat on the chair and quietly watched the little girl busying around, exuding the mature aura of a good wife and mother.

Sometimes he had the illusion that the little girl might know everything, but just wanted him to make the decisions on everything.

"Parent? What a heavy title." Xue Rui said secretly in his heart, and pinched the little girl's face when he stood up.

The little girl didn't dodge or avoid. She stood there smiling and let Xue Rui rub her face.

"Let's go out and play tomorrow." Xue Rui said.

"Well, okay." Lin Ruoxi's face was pinched, and her voice was a little different from usual.

She knows that tomorrow is Chinese Valentine's Day.

……

The next day was the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Saturday.

Xue Rui believes that Chinese Valentine's Day should be about taking girls out shopping, watching movies, eating, kissing, and renting a room...

But now, he feels like it's Chinese New Year.

The little girl has been busy in the kitchen since morning. The clanging sounds are very lively. Now the whole house is filled with the aroma of food and even the aroma of fried New Year goods...

Yu Minlan also helped a lot. Now, while the little girl was occupying the kitchen, she sat on the separate sofa on Xue Rui's right to rest for a while.

"Why does it feel like Chinese New Year?" Yu Minlan sighed.

She originally wanted to go out and give them some time to themselves, but Xue Rui said no, because she felt that Xue Rui liked to feed others dog food...

Xue Rui nodded heavily: "So you have the same feeling?"

The two looked at each other, smiled bitterly and shook their heads. They were actually waiting for dinner...

Perhaps, this is the romance that belongs only to Lin Ruoxi.

Xue Rui planned to take the little girl to the beach when it got cooler in the afternoon. The little girl had been in Shenzhen for a month and had never seen what the sea looked like.

But now, his biggest worry is that Gu Muxue no longer replies to his messages.

Xue Rui whispered to Yu Minlan, "What's going on? The express I asked you to send hasn't arrived yet?"

"I gave the order this morning, and the courier said it would arrive by noon at the latest."

Yu Minlan's expression remained unchanged, and she cursed in her heart that he was eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. She showed the logistics information to Xue Rui.

Xue Rui took a look and saw that it had arrived in Hedong City yesterday, but had not been signed for yet.

He opened Gu Muxue's chat interface and casually sent her a cute cat emoticon.

Xue Rui guessed that the girl was angry and deliberately left him alone for a day.

As for not seeing his news? That's impossible.

Because starting from this morning, Gu Muxue's name was no longer [creditor], but [the other party is typing], which means that the girl has been staring at her mobile phone.

But no matter how long I typed, no message came.

Xue Rui couldn't help but cover his face. The little girl was too arrogant. If she knew that he was accompanying Lin Ruoxi, he would be finished.

At the same time, Hedong City.

Gu Muxue lay on the sofa, holding the phone in her small hand, waiting for news from Xue Rui.

[Asshole! Asshole! Asshole!]

Gu Muxue typed a line of words on the screen and then secretly deleted it. She felt that she could not speak first and had to wait for Xue Rui to apologize. Xue Rui had no sincerity at the moment and was determined not to celebrate the Chinese Valentine's Day.

But she was not an ignorant girl. If Xue Rui really had something wrong, it would be tantamount to being unreasonable at this time. She might as well ignore Xue Rui.

Gu Muxue clearly wanted to deliberately piss off Xue Rui, but she ended up getting herself pissed off first.

"Xue'er, why are you so angry today? Is it because of Xiaorui?" Zhao Lizhen joked.

"Mom, Xiaorui said he doesn't want to celebrate the Chinese Valentine's Day." Gu Muxue said angrily.

She wasn't that angry at first, but today was Saturday and her parents were at home instead of working, so what kind of class was Xue Rui taking?
She wanted to know, but she didn't want to ask Xue Rui. Asking would seem like giving in, so she chose not to speak.

When Gu Qingshan heard the words "Xiao Rui" and "Qixi", his hand holding the newspaper subconsciously tightened a little, and actually poked a hole of moderate size.

Gu Muxue heard the sound of paper shredding and couldn't help but ask, "What happened to Dad?"

“Nothing, the quality of this newspaper is too poor.” Gu Qingshan crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it into the trash can.

Zhao Lizhen covered her mouth and whispered to Gu Muxue, "Your father is angry."

"Oh." Gu Muxue replied in a low voice.

She didn't know what was going on with her father. He seemed to support her and Xue Rui being together, but he also seemed not to. He was even more conflicted than she was today.

However, as long as my mother supports it, it doesn’t matter whether Mr. Gu objects or not.

"Mom, why don't you and Dad celebrate the Chinese Valentine's Day?" Gu Muxue asked in a low voice.

"Your father never celebrates any festivals. Besides, what festivals should an old couple celebrate?" Zhao Lizhen said.

She knew her husband and was just trying to save face.

Gu Muxue shook her head. She felt that her mother still wanted to celebrate the festival, so she specially added a dessert this morning.

Her parents have a good relationship, so she doesn't care how they celebrate the holidays. She only knows that her own holidays are gone.

Just when Gu Muxue was secretly cursing Xue Rui in the chat box, a strange number suddenly called in.

"Hello, this is SF Express. Are you Ms. Gu Muxue? Mr. Xue Rui has sent you a gift." said the courier.

Gu Muxue jumped up from the sofa and typed a line of words on her phone: Humph! You have a conscience.

This time she didn't delete it, but clicked the send button.

At this time, Xue Rui saw the message sent by Gu Muxue and thought that the express delivery must have arrived, so he called Gu Muxue back.

However, Gu Muxue rejected the voice call and made a video call to him instead.

"I'll go." Xue Rui cried out secretly, and hurried to the bedroom balcony and locked the door.

Lin Ruoxi happened to come out of the kitchen at this time. Seeing Xue Rui's panic, she thought that Xue Rui was frightened by the little bugs again and wanted to go over to deal with it.

"Are there any bugs?" Lin Ruoxi lowered her head and examined the ground carefully.

Yu Minlan snorted coldly: "Someone is guilty."
