Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 272: Bole and the Thousand-Li Horse
Xue Rui was confused at this moment, these were his words!
He had been thinking for a long time at the door, and deliberately pretended to be sick. He had already thought about how to answer when the little girl questioned him.

He was just about to apologize, but Gu Muxue apologized instead?

If Lin Ruoxi admitted her mistake, he would definitely shamelessly ask, "What's wrong?"

But this was Gu Muxue, he couldn't answer like that, he said: "Muxue, how could you be wrong?"

"Xiao Rui, listen to me first." Gu Muxue pressed Xue Rui's shoulders tightly: "I shouldn't have made uncle and aunt worry. I was thinking of waiting until tomorrow..."

It was obvious that as long as they waited until night, Xue Rui would show up by herself and everything would be as if nothing had happened, but because of her willfulness, many people did not get a good rest today.

But she didn't know what was wrong with her. As she watched the sky gradually darken, her mood completely sunk to the bottom. Every minute seemed like a year. She stared at her phone all the time, just hoping that Xue Rui would send a message...

Xue Rui sighed. The little girl returned to normal when she calmed down. Now she was reviewing everything she had done.

It was really beyond his expectation that the girl would apologize. The girl was not the kind of girl who would make unreasonable demands. She would admit her mistakes and correct them.

But he didn't think Gu Muxue had done anything wrong. With such a good relationship between the two families, it would be strange if he didn't tell anyone about his disappearance...

Moreover, how many girls of this age can remain rational when someone close to them goes missing?

If Lin Ruoxi encountered such a thing, she would probably do something even more irrational.

He said, "Mu Xue, what's wrong with you worrying about me? It's all my fault for being too careless. If I had checked whether the text message had been sent, today's incident wouldn't have happened."

Gu Muxue pouted: "They are both wrong... This time, we are even."

Xue Rui frowned and said, "How can it be called a draw? I don't think the problem lies with us. It's all the fault of... China Mobile. Its name is China Mobile. When I was on the train, there was no signal."

Gu Muxue wiped her tears and scolded with a smile: "You are the only one who knows how to make excuses."

"That's right. Once the 10,000 yuan you recharged for me is used up, I will definitely change operators." Xue Rui said angrily.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder. He turned his head and saw that it was Gu Muxue who had bitten him. She was still grinding her teeth and humming incoherently: "So you mean to blame me for topping up your phone bill..."

Suddenly, Xue Yao pushed the door open: "The beef balls will have to wait a few minutes. I'll put ..."

Xue Yao's voice stopped abruptly. What did she see?
Sister Mu Xue has been hungry for a whole day. Is she so hungry that she wants to bite her brother?

"Da Huang, let's stay away from him." Xue Yao stepped back.

Xue Rui noticed that the girl's face was flushed, and he hurriedly said, "Yaoyao, why didn't you knock when you came in?"

Xue Yao pointed at herself in disbelief: "This is my room!"

Gu Muxue quickly retracted her head and secretly pinched Xue Rui from behind: "What are you talking about?"

Xue Rui's heart skipped a beat when he saw the EMS express document bag in Xue Yao's hand.

The postal document that appeared at home was probably the school's admission letter...

It would be fine if it was just one copy, but Xue Yao had two copies in her hand!

This means that one of them belongs to Lin Ruoxi.

Xue Rui's expression remained unchanged. He reached out his hand and called Da Huang, making a "tsk tsk tsk" sound. Da Huang immediately walked to his feet, wagging his tail...

He grabbed Dahuang's ears, pulling them so that the whites of his eyes were exposed, and he whimpered and begged for mercy.

"Putting aside the facts, Dahuang, don't you do anything wrong?" Xue Rui said, pointing at Dahuang.

"Dahuang has wronged you, but if you don't feel wronged, your male master will." He sighed in his heart.

At this time, he had to use Da Huang to divert Xue Yao's attention, otherwise when Xue Yao spoke, he would become the passive one.

"Brother, you are such a dog!"

Xue Yao hurried forward to "rescue" Da Huang and placed the documents at Xue Rui's feet.

Gu Muxue opened her mouth slightly. Xue Rui was so naughty that he actually put the blame on Gouzi again.

"Woof!" Da Huang barked twice at Xue Rui, scaring Gu Muxue so much that she took a step back.

Xue Rui took the opportunity to pick up the file bag, quickly found his own copy and placed it on the top.

"Dahuang, let's go have a midnight snack and ignore him." Xue Yao nervously pulled Dahuang out.

Xue Rui casually tore open the document bag and opened the admission letter that he had read once in his previous life;

It’s not that he didn’t want to hide it, but it would seem too deliberate if he did.

"Muxue, this is my admission letter. In a few days we will be studying in the same city. Do you know who is still studying in Chang'an?" Xue Rui said while holding the letter in front of Gu Muxue.

Gu Muxue's peach blossom eyes curved up. This was something she and Xue Rui had agreed on long ago.

She recalled Xue Rui's question and said seriously, "There are many. Many female students in our school choose to study in Chang'an."

Xue Rui nodded and said, "Because Chang'an is close to home, it only takes less than an hour by high-speed train."

"But I still find it strange. Why not go to the provincial capital or Chang'an?" Gu Muxue said.

"Haven't you heard the old saying, people from Shanxi province would rather starve to death than go out? They are very homesick, so the closer they go to school, the better. If there weren't many schools in Hedong, I guess many girls wouldn't want to leave the city." Xue Rui said.

What he said was true. The culture of Shanxi Province has been like this since ancient times. People are more homesick than anywhere else.

For example, in a famous science fiction novel, when the doomsday comes, people are still thinking about running away with their hometown on Earth. That was also the work of someone from Shanxi Province... "Is it the same for you? Because you miss home?" Gu Muxue said with a smile.

Xue Rui thought that he had laid enough groundwork and it was time to speak. He said leisurely, "I'm not talking about me. The most powerful person in our class is Lin Ruoxi."

"Well, she is indeed very outstanding." Gu Muxue murmured and nodded.

She had wanted to ask Xue Rui about Lin Ruoxi before. She thought Xue Rui should have come back with Lin Ruoxi, otherwise why would both of their phones be turned off at the same time?

In her impression, Lin Ruoxi didn't interact much with the male classmates around her...

Well, I don’t have much contact with female classmates.

The only exception is Xue Rui, and the friends around Xue Rui, who seem to be centered around Xue Rui.

However, Xue Rui has been like this since he was a child. He always comes up with some weird ideas and children like to be around him.

She wasn't jealous, but she was a little concerned that he was still in contact with his former classmates after graduation.

Xue Rui shook his head: "I said it's not that she scored the highest, but that she loves home the most."

Gu Muxue's beautiful eyes were full of surprise: "Where did she go? The capital is not very far away."

She thought Lin Ruoxi would definitely choose between Tsinghua and Peking University, because she heard from her classmates that the buses from Tsinghua and Peking University all went to the school.

Could it be that...both Peking University and Tsinghua University have failed?
"She also went to Chang'an." Xue Rui said without changing his expression.

Gu Muxue’s eyes widened slightly. Lin Ruoxi actually went to Chang’an as well?

"There's nothing we can do. Grandma is her only relative left. She's not in good health and can't stand the hardship. She lives close by so it's convenient for her to come back and visit her often."

"If we go to the capital, it will take at least ten hours round trip." Xue Rui said.

Gu Muxue is actually a soft-hearted person, and the girl will easily accept it if you play on her emotional feelings.

The result was not beyond his expectations. After hearing this reason, a hint of heartache flashed across Gu Muxue's eyes.

Gu Muxue knew about Lin Ruoxi's family background. In fact, before Lin Ruoxi looked up, many people had an impression of her as the unimaginably thin girl who was second in the grade and never communicated with others.

"Then we should be alumni in the future." Gu Muxue said with a smile.

In fact, she had heard teachers talking about Lin Ruoxi in the office before, and she had also paid some money to recharge Lin Ruoxi's meal card, but Lin Ruoxi seemed to have never used it. She actually admired this kind of girl, who was poor but had great ambitions.

Later, Xue Rui used some unknown means to pull the girl out of the quagmire, and this was also what she admired about Xue Rui.

Xue Rui coughed lightly: "Uh, no."

"Oh? Did she go to the University of Technology? It seems suitable for her." Gu Muxue nodded slightly.

"neither."

Gu Muxue asked curiously: "Where did she go?"

"She and I are in the same school, and my aunt left her admission letter with me." Xue Rui said in a flat tone and took out the file bag with Lin Ruoxi's name written on it.

It is much better to find an excuse in advance than to keep it a secret and get caught. Now the girl feels that she has done something wrong and has a little guilt in her heart. In addition, he has just returned from the "missing" state, and the feeling of regaining what she has lost is greater than jealousy.

Therefore, Gu Muxue was the most tolerant at this time, because if you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to get it again.

Gu Muxue subconsciously tightened the hand on her shoulder, and her tone unconsciously took on a questioning tone: "Why?"

Xue Rui felt something was wrong. Gu Muxue's sensitivity was far beyond his expectations.

"Didn't you tell me before? Good students are good students no matter where they are. They don't have to go to good schools." Xue Rui repeated Gu Muxue's words about choosing a school for the high school entrance examination exactly.

"Oh, so she is in the same school as you, and she is in the same major as you, right?" Gu Muxue asked back, with a hint of coldness in her voice.

At that time, she wanted to go to school with Xue Rui. Why did Lin Ruoxi give up Tsinghua University and Peking University?
Giving up on a key high school and giving up on Peking University and Tsinghua University are two completely different concepts!
Xue Rui endured the pain and said: "Mu Xue, how could you say you are smart? Your guess is really accurate."

Gu Muxue didn't say anything, her teeth were grinding.

She really didn't expect that what she said deliberately turned out to be true!
Xue Rui hurriedly explained: "Why do I smell a strong smell of jealousy? I have some cooperation with her. She can get a lot of money by being around me. It is also convenient for her to do my homework for me since we are in the same major. You know, I am lazy..."

Gu Muxue blushed: "Nonsense, I didn't."

Is it because Lin Ruoxi and Xue Rui have a vested interest in each other?

Well, Xue Rui is Lin Ruoxi's boss, so this makes sense...

After all, Xue Rui changed Lin Ruoxi's life. From a poor student who couldn't afford to eat, she could earn a lot of money in high school, afford the latest iPhone, and get the envy of her classmates...

It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

It is normal for Lin Ruoxi to make this choice. First, it is convenient for her to take care of her family, and second, she can earn more money.

If she loses Xue Rui, the investment platform, it will be hard to tell when Lin Ruoxi, this talented horse, will find her mentor.

It is an honor to be a student from a top university, but reputation cannot be eaten. It takes time and opportunity to realize it. Giving up the existing platform is not a good choice.

But, is it really just the relationship between a thousand-mile horse and a good horse trainer?

She put herself in Lin Ruoxi's perspective. If she were Lin Ruoxi, she would definitely become deeply dependent on Xue Rui, or even fall in love with him...
