Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 262 Lin Ruoxi's Sad Night

Now Xue Rui was lying on Lin Ruoxi's legs with his phone screen turned sideways. He just glanced at it, and Lin Ruoxi should be able to see it.

After hesitating for a second, he chose to turn off the phone screen and put it aside.

Gu Muxue wants to add Lin Ruoxi’s WeChat?
Just now, Gu Muxue said that she wanted to add some friends. Lin Ruoxi, as the girl who interacts with him most frequently, is naturally among them.

Normally, this kind of verification information is set by default in batches, but Gu Muxue typed the other party's name, which gave a feeling of "you are special".

So now there are two possibilities.

First, Gu Muxue had good family education, and when adding people, she would type out everyone's names, which would make the other person feel comfortable. Lin Ruoxi was just one of them.

Secondly, Gu Muxue cared about Lin Ruoxi very much and specially marked her name.

He hoped it was the former, so that even if he added them as friends, they wouldn't have anything to talk about.

If it is the latter, then he can only accept the reality of "king meets king".

Of course, he actually had another choice, which was to tell Lin Ruoxi not to go through the friend verification, but he didn't want to use her emotions to control the little girl. What was coming would eventually come, and the right to dispose of it was in Lin Ruoxi's hands.

Lin Ruoxi glanced at it and saw the friend adding page, but she didn't see who it was...

But Lin Ruoxi didn't care about this matter. She cared more about Xue Rui's emotions.

Xue Rui seemed a little unhappy just now, but she couldn't tell what the specific emotion was...

"Can we take the train back?" Lin Ruoxi asked.

Xue Rui was attracted by the little girl's topic. He smiled and asked, "Why? To save money?"

He had never taken the train from Shenzhen to Hedong, but estimated that it would take at least thirty hours, which was a bit too long.

"Because... a lot of things... can't get on the plane." Lin Ruoxi said stutteringly.

Xue Rui adjusted his posture and lay on his back on Lin Ruoxi's legs, looking at the little girl's blushing face. Lin Ruoxi actually lied to him?
What’s the purpose of lying when you can’t lie?
He reached out and tickled the little girl's waist, as if it was a form of revenge: "You actually lied to me, I'll tickle you."

Lin Ruoxi twisted and turned because of the tickling. She smiled and said, "I...I was wrong. Lying is not good."

Xue Rui asked: "Do you want to take the train?"

Well, the little girl is interested in all kinds of transportation.

Lin Ruoxi nodded and said, "Yes."

Xue Rui did not hesitate and nodded decisively: "Okay."

It’s just a few dozen hours on a green train. He can handle it.

Lin Ruoxi gently stroked Xue Rui's forehead with her slender fingers. She said softly, "Grandma calls me every day. She said that you visit her every time you go home. Thank you."

Xue Rui's heart skipped a beat. He and Lin Ruoxi had agreed not to say thank you, but Lin Ruoxi was stubborn at that time and would only do what he said. In fact, whether to use the word "thank you" depended on the atmosphere and the specific matter.

And this time, Lin Ruoxi actually used it correctly, whether it was to thank the old lady or for the green train just now...

This made Xue Rui think of many things. He was afraid that he would not be able to deceive the little girl anymore...

During the month he was away, Lin Ruoxi came into contact with all kinds of people and her thinking grew a lot.

Just when Xue Rui was feeling anxious, Lin Ruoxi suddenly looked flustered. She remembered the agreement between her and Xue Rui, and added hastily, "No... no thank you. We don't say thank you, let alone sorry."

Xue Rui couldn't help but laugh, the little girl was still so cute.

But this time, with the renewed agreement, he vaguely felt that the initiative was in Lin Ruoxi's hands.

Gu Muxue's sudden arrival, coupled with the little girl's increasing maturity, made Xue Rui feel very tired.

He suddenly couldn't lie down any longer, and stretched his neck to get up, but Lin Ruoxi said, "Well, if you like lying down, lie down for a while longer. I'm not tired."

"Okay." Xue Rui responded. This was the first time he confirmed his relationship with the little girl today. The little girl could do whatever she wanted.

It was already late at night and everything was silent. It was so quiet that he could hear each other's breathing and heartbeat. Xue Rui was afraid that Lin Ruoxi could hear his own thoughts.

Yeah, he was too guilty.

Lin Ruoxi's voice was soft and gentle, breaking the strange atmosphere in the room: "Rui, you said Da Huang's story before was too ordinary. How about I tell you an extraordinary one?"

"Hmm? Bedtime story?"

"Well, sort of. Do you want to hear it?"

"listen."

"I used to raise some chickens at home, but weasels would come over at night, so Da Huang would sleep next to the chicken coop and watch over them for me..."

Xue Rui thought that the little girl probably wanted to talk to him more. What was so good about this kind of story?

However, he felt that the little girl would be good at coaxing children in the future. Now her little hands were patting his chest rhythmically, and it seemed as if there was the sound of a spring flowing in his ears. The soothing and plain story was like a lullaby, and his eyelids became heavier as he listened to it.

Do you fall asleep on the little girl's lap? That's also a kind of enjoyment...

After a long time, Lin Ruoxi looked at Xue Rui sleeping on her legs. Her eyes curved and she gently stroked Xue Rui's chin.

Lin Ruoxi likes the late night, and she likes Xue Rui next to her even more. Especially in the current situation, she feels a little possessive in her heart, because Xue Rui is her boyfriend.

When the little girl thought of this, her legs trembled with excitement...

Seeing Xue Rui's head shaking along with her legs, she hurriedly suppressed her emotions, fearing that Xue Rui would be woken up by her.

She felt that the current situation was good and she wanted to stay with Xue Rui for a while longer.

Lin Ruoxi picked up her phone and thought about secretly taking a photo of Xue Rui, because Xue Rui also took a photo of her during the day...

She wanted to keep every moment she spent with Xue Rui.

However, after the screen lit up, what came into view was the add friend interface, and Gu Muxue requested to add her as a friend.

She thought of Xue Rui's previous reaction and her eyes became dazed for a moment.

Xue Rui had the right to agree, but she didn't. Did she not want her to have contact with Gu Muxue?
Lin Ruoxi's hand holding the phone trembled slightly...

She actually knew...the relationship between Xue Rui and Gu Muxue was more than just classmates. Why didn't Xue Rui call other female classmates?

Lin Ruoxi looked at Gu Muxue's WeChat interface for a long time, and she was extremely conflicted.

She didn't know why, but she just wanted to take a look at Gu Muxue's life...

Lin Ruoxi glanced to the side and saw Xue Rui's phone on the coffee table. She forced herself not to look at it and closed her eyes tightly, lost in memories. She remembered seeing it in a classmate's yearbook...

After a brief thought, she opened her mobile phone QQ and entered Gu Muxue's QQ number according to the number she just remembered...

On Gu Muxue's information page, she saw a picture of pink roses.

Lin Ruoxi opened Gu Muxue’s QQ space and found that the rose was a photo taken on the Chinese Valentine’s Day, with text attached, and @Xue Rui’s QQ at the end.

In the comment section, a group of classmates and friends sent messages saying “Wish you 99”, and Xue Rui also replied with “99”.

Lin Ruoxi's fingers trembled slightly. She opened Baidu and searched [What does 祝99 mean?]

The result was not much different from her guess, it meant a long, long time...

In just a moment, the little girl's tears burst out.

Xue Rui likes his classmate Gu Muxue.

Yes, she knew, she had actually known it all along, but she didn't dare, nor did she want to face it, thinking that she could deceive herself for the rest of her life... She felt that her behavior of peeking into other people's QQ spaces was like a thief peeping into other people's lives, and she didn't like herself like this.

Why did she want to watch this? Wouldn't it be good for Xue Rui to keep her in the dark?
Lin Ruoxi's shoulders were shaking uncontrollably due to sobbing. She tried to calm herself down, fearing that her shaking would disturb Xue Rui who was sleeping soundly on her legs.

But her heart ached so much, as if a steel needle had pierced it.

Lin Ruoxi covered her chest and took deep breaths, like a person about to drown in the water, trying desperately to breathe fresh air.

She hurriedly picked up her phone and deleted her QQ space access records. Looking at the words "Yellow Diamond Privileges", she glanced at Xue Rui with gentle eyes. This was what Xue Rui prepared for her.

She reached out and gently pinched the thin gold necklace around her neck. She also received a Chinese Valentine's Day gift.

However, whenever she thought of that pink rose, her heart ached so much.

She didn't understand why it hurt so much...

Lin Ruoxi placed her left hand on the necklace Xue Rui gave her, and held up her phone in her right hand, constantly checking various information...

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Minlan tiptoed out of the room to go to the bathroom, and came back in a sneaky manner.

She was afraid that Lin Ruoxi and Xue Rui would do something in the living room, but she couldn't hold it back any longer, and she was also afraid of being scolded by Xue Rui...

However, just as she was about to take a peek before entering the room, she discovered this strange scene:
Lin Ruoxi leaned on the sofa with tear marks on her face, her small hand gently placed on Xue Rui's chest, her eyes were empty, her right hand drooped limply by the side, and the cell phone next to her was still emitting light.

Lin Ruoxi noticed Yu Minlan's gaze, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she pointed at the light in the living room.

Yu Minlan stood there in a daze. Lin Ruoxi's smile just now was so sad and beautiful that it made her feel heartbroken.

Why did Lin Ruoxi cry so miserably? The living room seemed to be filled with a faint sadness...

The point is that Lin Ruoxi asked her to turn off the lights. Does she have to stay in this position with Xue Rui all night?
"Sister Ruoxi, what's wrong with you?" Yu Minlan walked over and asked in a low voice.

She knew that Xue Rui slept very soundly and could not be woken up even by the falling of a stainless steel basin, let alone a whisper.

She waited for a while and found that Lin Ruoxi had no intention of answering her. She glanced at the phone in Lin Ruoxi's hand and saw a line of eye-catching words in the search bar at the top...

[Can I like two people at the same time? ]

Yu Minlan's scalp suddenly tightened, and a numbing sensation rushed straight to the top of her head. Did Lin Ruoxi discover Gu Muxue's existence?
She took a breath, wondering if it was her fault. She seemed to have said something like "check the cell phone and ask someone to run errands" during the day.

She suddenly felt guilty and regretted saying that. How could Lin Ruoxi withstand such a blow from Xue Rui?
But that bastard Xue Rui is like that, he's two-timing.

But now that things have come to this, what should she do to comfort Lin Ruoxi? Keep her away from Xue Rui?

This is impossible. Lin Ruoxi is too dependent on Xue Rui. It can be said that all her love comes from dependence.

Let Lin Ruoxi compete with that girl named Gu Muxue?
Lin Ruoxi is not that kind of girl at all, and she may not win even if she fights...

Could it be that... he was trying to persuade Lin Ruoxi to accept Xue Rui, who was two-timing?
This is too inhumane. She can't say such words anyway.

Just when she was in a dilemma, Lin Ruoxi pointed at the pillow behind her.

Yu Minlan murmured as she handed over the pillow. She watched with her own eyes as Lin Ruoxi gently laid Xue Rui down on the sofa to sleep. She sighed helplessly.

If her boyfriend was such a jerk, how could she be in the mood to take such good care of him?

I had already woken him up with a slap in the face and kicked him out without saying a word.

What a pity, Lin Ruoxi is such a girl.

Even though he was covered in bruises, he still couldn't bear to see Xue Rui suffer even a little bit.

Yu Minlan sighed: "Silly girl, he just thinks you are easy to deceive, you have to fight for yourself..."

Now she doesn't have to hide anything, because Lin Ruoxi probably knows everything she should know.

Lin Ruoxi wiped her tears and suddenly laughed. She interrupted Yu Minlan: "Well, I know, Sister Yu, go to bed."

After saying that, she pushed Yu Minlan back to the room, brought a small blanket for Xue Rui, and covered him carefully.

She looked at the friend request on her phone, neither agreeing nor rejecting it, but just threw the message into a corner as if she had never seen it.

Xue Rui did this, and she was prepared to do the same.

Lin Ruoxi bent down, adjusted the blanket for Xue Rui, and looked at the sleeping Xue Rui with her little face.

She forced herself to stop thinking about Gu Muxue and stretched out her slender fingers to touch Xue Rui's nose.

After hesitating for a moment, she stood up and gently hugged Xue Rui.

She could now tell whether Xue Rui was really asleep or pretending to be asleep, and she knew that Xue Rui could not hear what she said.

She whispered softly in Xue Rui's ear: "If you don't want me to contact her, then I won't contact her."

"You like silly girls, I will be silly for my whole life to show you..."

When she said this, tears rolled down the little girl's eyes again.

"Is it good?"

Lin Ruoxi's voice trembled a little. She searched the Internet for a long time, but she didn't like any of the answers there. She didn't want to embarrass Xue Rui, so she gave herself the answer.

She knew that what she was doing was wrong, but she just wanted to make Xue Rui happy, that's all.

But Xue Rui, who was soundly asleep, had no idea what was happening under the cover of night, so naturally he could not give any answer.

Lin Ruoxi reached out and pinched Xue Rui's nose. Xue Rui frowned and subconsciously uttered a "hmm".

The little girl smiled happily, but her tears flowed down her fair cheeks like a pearl necklace with a broken string. She carefully caught them with her hands, and they did not fall on Xue Rui...

"Yeah, I heard it." Lin Ruoxi gently touched Xue Rui's forehead with her rosy lips.

She stood up, picked up Xue Rui's cell phone, connected it to the charger skillfully, then turned around and went to pick up the tissue paper she had used to wipe her tears on the coffee table.

On the shoe cabinet, after Xue Rui's mobile phone charging animation ended, there was a WeChat message from Gu Muxue.

Creditor: Happy seventh night, good night.

……

"Oh~ What a sad night." Yu Minlan said to herself.

She was afraid that Lin Ruoxi would do something irrational, so she hid behind the door frame and watched Lin Ruoxi's every move closely.

She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that although Lin Ruoxi was very sad, her emotions had been very stable and she was still in the mood to do housework.

However, Lin Ruoxi noticed Yu Minlan's presence from the corner of her eye. She looked up and exchanged glances with Yu Minlan, then walked over and whispered, "Sister Yu, please don't tell him, okay?"

Xue Rui didn't want her to know, so she pretended not to know.

Yu Minlan looked at the sleeping bastard, then glanced at the pitiful Lin Ruoxi. She really couldn't refuse such a request.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay."

"I'm sorry, Sister Ruoxi, I've actually been hiding this from you..." Yu Minlan looked guilty.

Lin Ruoxi shook her head: "It doesn't matter."

Yu Minlan felt like she had something stuck in her throat, and in the end she could only sigh helplessly: "Well, just get used to it..."

"Well, I'm happy if Xue Rui is happy."
