Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 280 Lying is a child's nature

Lin Ruoxi and Gu Muxue stood face to face in front of Xue Rui's house, both of them facing sideways to Xue Rui, so Xue Rui could see the expressions of both of them clearly.

He couldn't help but glance around. Lin Ruoxi was much taller, but Gu Muxue's confident look and outfit were equally impressive. However, it didn't matter now. The important thing was to collude with Xue Yao and not let the secret slip in front of the little girl.

Lin Ruoxi looked at the big bag of grapes, which weighed about ten pounds. She was a little hesitant. Should she accept Gu Muxue's things?

She subconsciously glanced at Xue Rui, but Xue Rui was playing with his phone with his head down.

She is already an adult and needs to learn to make her own decisions. It is very tiring for Gu Muxue to lift things like this.

Lin Ruoxi squatted slightly, holding the bottom of the bag with one hand and the handle with the other, fearing that the bag could not bear the weight and the food would spill out. She said weakly, "Thank you, I'll just take a little, I can't finish it all by myself."

As she spoke, she took out a plastic bag from Yu Minlan's schoolbag in the car, put some food in it, and returned the rest to Gu Muxue.

Xue Yao was playing a game when she was bombarded with messages from Xue Rui. She couldn't help but stand by the window and take a look.

She swallowed, and Xue Rui sent her a message: You know what to do.

Of course she knew what to do, but what was her brother doing now? Was he too calm?
Both girlfriends have met each other, but her brother is still leisurely scratching his back?
In fact, Xue Yao didn't know the purpose of Xue Rui, the bastard. He wanted to prevent Gu Muxue from discovering that there was Lin Ruoxi's hair on his body, so he checked his clothes while tickling her...

"Do you live alone?" Gu Muxue asked in surprise.

She thought Lin Ruoxi was too frugal. Why did she carry a crumpled plastic bag with her?

After she said this, she suddenly remembered Lin Ruoxi's life experience. Xue Rui said that Lin Ruoxi only had a sick grandmother who probably couldn't eat fruit, and her gift might bring a burden to Lin Ruoxi.

"Yes." Lin Ruoxi nodded.

Although Xue Rui would come over occasionally, he had not stayed overnight at her place during this period, and his grandmother was also living in a nursing home...

"I'm sorry, I don't know. I think you're pretty awesome. I'm a little afraid of the dark when I live alone." Gu Muxue quickly changed the subject.

Lin Ruoxi was stunned. She didn't realize what Gu Muxue was apologizing for. She said, "Well, I'm used to it."

Xue Rui was sure that there was nothing wrong with him at this time. When he was about to go over and say something, Gu Muxue glared at him fiercely, telling him to stay where he was and not move.

Xue Rui slapped his forehead and thought that this was bad.

Although he and the girl did not set up the same rules as the little girl, sharing their daily lives with each other has become an unspoken rule between them.

The little girl would take pictures of him when picking grapes, but what about him?
When Lin Ruoxi came to his house, he did not even "report" to Gu Muxue in advance;
Now the girl is obviously angry!
Well, fortunately she was only angry at him. She was still very calm when facing Lin Ruoxi and did not take her anger out on the little girl.

Gu Muxue did not continue discussing this heavy topic. She smiled and said, "School will start in a few days. Did Xiao Rui buy you a ticket? He is your boss, so this should be reimbursed, right?"

Lin Ruoxi stood there in a daze. Xue Rui didn’t seem to say how to get to school?

When buying a ticket, do I want to take the high-speed rail?

Yu Minlan found that Xue Rui had been looking at her, so she got out of the car and said, "I'm Boss Xue's driver. Sister Ruoxi has a lot of luggage, so I'll drive her there when the time comes."

Gu Muxue smiled and nodded at Yu Minlan.

Xue Rui sighed. Yu Minlan was really slow to react. Fortunately, she didn't say that Lin Ruoxi was her boss's wife.

Gu Muxue sighed helplessly in her heart. Lin Ruoxi had no intention of talking to her. To be more precise, she had no intention of talking to anyone. She still looked as dull as before.

She felt that this was not a good idea and that at least one should be able to communicate with others.

"We will all go to school in Chang'an by then, so remember to keep the admission letter safe."

"I joined the school's QQ group. I saw that some careless students had lost their notices and were asking the teacher what to do."

Gu Muxue said with a smile.

She remembered that Lin Ruoxi's admission letter was with Xue Rui, who had shown it to her in advance that day, so she turned the conversation to school matters, which was one of the few common topics they had.

"Well, I also go to school in Chang'an." Lin Ruoxi said softly.

Classmate Gu Muxue had so many questions that she didn’t know what to say. She knew she was not good at talking, but she understood the principle that talking too much would lead to mistakes.

If he said the wrong thing, Xue Rui would be unhappy.

She was going to school with Xue Rui, so she could just leave the notice with Xue Rui for safekeeping.

"Xiao Rui and I are going to school together. He has already bought the tickets." Gu Muxue said.

Lin Ruoxi's pupils trembled. Is Xue Rui going to accompany Gu Muxue?
"I...I can do it alone." Lin Ruoxi said stutteringly.

Gu Muxue's peach blossom eyes tightened slightly. She noticed Lin Ruoxi's abnormality just now. It seemed that Lin Ruoxi was looking forward to going to school with Xue Rui?

The lost expression just now...

Did Lin Ruoxi really give up Peking University and Tsinghua University just for money?

Is it really because Chang'an is close to home?

Xue Rui’s previous explanation was almost perfect. She did not doubt that Lin Ruoxi was like that for those reasons, but she felt that one more thing should be added - Lin Ruoxi liked Xue Rui.

She took a deep breath and couldn't help but look at Lin Ruoxi a few more times. With such outstanding appearance, girls couldn't help but look at her a few more times. How could Xue Rui not be tempted?
She secretly turned her gaze to Xue Rui and found that Xue Rui was playing with the dog and suddenly looked up at her.

Yes, Xue Rui is very special. Other boys would be more or less shy in front of him, but Xue Rui would never be like that from the beginning.

Moreover, she thought Xue Rui was more mature than the average boy, and perhaps he did not have much pursuit for beauty?
After she and Xue Rui exchanged a glance, she smiled at Lin Ruoxi and said, "I am Xue Rui's girlfriend, and we confirmed our relationship during the summer vacation."

She thought Lin Ruoxi should know about it, but she still mentioned it now because she just wanted to test her previous guess.

Lin Ruoxi's eyes were dazed for a moment, and she murmured: "I..."

Xue Rui was stunned for a moment. What did the little girl want to say?
You don’t want to say “Me too”!

His heart was in his throat.

"I know." Lin Ruoxi slowly lowered her head, not daring to look at Gu Muxue.

She didn't lie, but she was hiding a secret from her classmate Gu Muxue - she was also Xue Rui's girlfriend.

She recalled the heart-wrenching feeling she had when she first learned about this matter...

Lin Ruoxi didn't want Gu Muxue to experience that kind of pain.

Xue Rui likes two girls. She doesn’t want to make Xue Rui feel awkward, but she is also afraid that Xue Rui will have to make a choice...

But she doesn't know what to do?

As long as she stayed with Xue Rui, she would be discovered by Gu Muxue...

At that time, Xue Rui will be unhappy, and Gu Muxue will also be very sad.

But she didn't want to leave. Even if she could only get half of the love, she would be content.

She could accept Gu Muxue's existence, but she didn't know whether Gu Muxue would accept her...

Gu Muxue took a deep breath. Her guess was correct. Lin Ruoxi really liked Xue Rui. If they were just friends, why would she have such a reaction?
She breathed a sigh of relief. She had actually expected all of this, so she wasn't too surprised when she got the answer.

Gu Muxue did not keep Lin Ruoxi away from Xue Rui. From her point of view, Lin Ruoxi was already alone. Keeping Lin Ruoxi away from Xue Rui before she integrated into the new social circle would be tantamount to breaking up her only friend.

Moreover, her liking for Xue Rui was a one-sided thing and did not infringe on anyone's interests. What she needed to do was to remind Xue Rui to keep his distance.

"Thank you for the grapes. I'm leaving now." Lin Ruoxi slowly turned around.

Suddenly, a khaki shadow swept past Gu Muxue's feet;
Dahuang followed Lin Ruoxi's feet, wagging his tail and making tiny whimpering sounds, as if he was acting coquettishly or begging.

Lin Ruoxi lowered her head and touched Da Huang's head: "Stay here, I will pick you up later."

After saying that, Lin Ruoxi got into the car and waved to Gu Muxue.

Yu Minlan let out a long sigh, turned around and drove away.

"Sister Ruoxi, Da Huang is chasing us. Let it go back." Yu Minlan said while looking at the rearview mirror. "It's okay. It will go back by itself." Lin Ruoxi reached out of the window, raised a grape, and threw it to the side of the road.

Da Huang turned around instantly and went to look for the grapes that Lin Ruoxi had thrown out. However, when it looked up again, the vehicle had disappeared, so it had no choice but to turn around and walk towards Xue Rui.

Xue Rui was speechless. Lin Ruoxi actually tricked the dog.

"Lin Ruoxi's dog?" Gu Muxue murmured as she looked at Dahuang.

In an instant, she remembered a lot of things. When Xue Rui came back that day, Da Huang was obviously looking for something.

Is Da Huang looking for Lin Ruoxi?

Why? Because of the smell?

She walked to Xue Rui with a frown and looked around him to inquire about him.

Xue Rui breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he had checked his hair before.

Suddenly, the girl put her nose close to him and sniffed.

Xue Rui's brows twitched. It was okay that the little girl liked to smell it, but why did the little girl also have this hobby?

"What do you smell? Let me smell it too." Xue Rui said as he was about to move closer to Gu Muxue's arms.

Gu Muxue's pretty face turned red. She held Xue Rui's face with both hands and pushed him away, saying softly, "You only know how to take advantage of others."

Xue Rui said dissatisfiedly: "I don't even hesitate to take what belongs to others."

Gu Muxue thought of Lin Ruoxi. Xue Rui didn’t want to possess such a beautiful woman?

She was secretly delighted, but she suppressed her emotions and said coldly, "Lin Ruoxi is here, why didn't you tell me?"

Xue Rui suddenly became serious. He knew what Gu Muxue was asking. He said helplessly, "She was originally going to pick up the dog. I was afraid that you would tell Yaoyao if you knew about it and make her unhappy."

"I haven't asked you yet, did you and Lin Ruoxi come back by train?" Gu Muxue said.

"Yes, the soft sleeper rooms are for four people. It's too uncomfortable to squeeze together with others." Xue Rui made a disappointed expression.

"What? A four-person room?" Gu Muxue asked in surprise.

"So what? There are six people in a hard sleeper room." Xue Rui said casually.

Gu Muxue frowned. She had never taken a train or lived in a dormitory. The feeling of sleeping with strangers was too strange.

"No distinction between men and women?" Gu Muxue asked, tilting her head.

Xue Rui looked at Gu Muxue in surprise: "You don't know?"

Gu Muxue was very angry. Xue Rui was making fun of her for never riding a sleeper train. She opened her phone and searched for pictures, and immediately understood what Xue Rui was talking about.

"You are not allowed to sit in the sleeper berth in the future, and I won't sit on it either." Gu Muxue said. She always had the illusion that Xue Rui was sleeping with other girls.

"Who can stand such a hard seat?" Xue Rui shook his head.

"Don't interrupt me. If you want to go far away, you can take a plane. I have always been like this."

"Okay, will the boss lady reimburse me?"

"Hmph, you wish." Gu Muxue snorted coldly.

Xue Rui thought to himself that it was a good thing that Gu Qingshan was not from the railway department. When the request was passed down to the crew, they just confirmed whether he was there and did not ask for specific details, otherwise something really bad would have happened.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I've already bought the tickets for you when school starts." Xue Rui said with a smile.

When Gu Muxue gets angry, he always uses imperative sentences, but the little girl always asks him "OK?"

Xue Rui thought that it was quite pleasant to be ordered around by the little girl, and it was also quite pleasant to order the little girl around.

"I've taken the high-speed rail before, but I'd better go back and talk to my mother. She's going to take me there." Gu Muxue said as she walked inside carrying grapes.

She felt that she was already eighteen years old. Xue Rui had already traveled all over the country alone at his age. She couldn't always be looked after by her parents.

"Why not let Lin Ruoxi come along?" Gu Muxue asked. She didn't mind Xue Rui asking the driver to send Lin Ruoxi alone. After all, Xue Rui was going to report to school with her.

She always had an illusion that Xue Rui was intentionally or unintentionally letting Lin Ruoxi avoid her, but she had no evidence. Maybe she was just too sensitive.

Xue Rui said calmly: "She has a lot of work to do, and she has a lot of production materials to move over."

"Okay." Gu Muxue sighed. She really couldn't get a word in when it came to work.

The moment Gu Muxue walked into the room, Xue Yao glanced at the keyboard nervously.

The first thing Gu Muxue saw was the mouse she had given as a gift, and then she discovered a brand new keyboard next to it.

"Yaoyao, this keyboard is really beautiful, the color matches the mouse perfectly." Gu Muxue praised.

She was glad that she didn't give her a keyboard, otherwise she would be so disappointed with this keyboard. It didn't even have a brand name and seemed like it was custom-made.

She thought about it carefully. It was Xue Rui who didn't let her give it as a gift before. Could it be that he had expected someone to give her this keyboard?
Considering that Lin Ruoxi had just come, Gu Muxue murmured, "Did Lin Ruoxi send it?"

Xue Yao's eyes instantly widened like lanterns. While Gu Muxue wasn't looking at her, she quickly made an innocent expression to Xue Rui and pulled herself out of it.

Xue Rui also took a breath of cold air. The girl's sharpness was far beyond her expectations. She found the keyboard and guessed its origin within ten seconds of entering the door.

Gu Muxue reached out and pinched Xue Rui: "You knew about this in advance? And you even picked a pink mouse for me?"

Facing Gu Muxue's threat, Xue Rui had no choice but to admit: "Yes, who knew that her gift was so high-end, it made our gifts look inferior."

"Since I can't change it, I might as well go with it and make Yaoyao happy. The headphones I bought are also pink."

Gu Muxue was quite satisfied with this explanation. Xue Rui had just used the word "we", and his position was very clear. She walked to Xue Yao and looked at the keyboard curiously.

"Sister Muxue, look, this was made by Sister Ruoxi herself." Xue Yao picked up the keyboard and put it in Gu Muxue's hand.

Xue Rui glared at Xue Yao and silently mouthed, "You talk too much."

Xue Yao stuck out her tongue at Xue Rui.

Xue Rui walked to the computer with a dark face, reached out and clicked on the rune interface of League of Legends.

"Brother, dear brother!" Xue Yao begged for mercy again and again.

Xue Rui smiled with satisfaction: "Are you obedient?"

"Listen." Xue Yao nodded repeatedly, not daring to say a word of denial.

Gu Muxue touched the keyboard and said, "She is so skillful."

Xue Yao hurriedly said, "Lin Ruoxi was a poor student sponsored by my brother in the past. After I found out, I took the initiative to give her my clothes, so she gave it to me as a birthday present."

Gu Muxue nodded with a smile. This was similar to the Lin Ruoxi she knew, who was grateful and repaying kindness.

She weighed the heavy metal keyboard and felt a surge of emotion in her heart.

Lin Ruoxi's gratitude is so great.

Xue Rui nodded with satisfaction. The threat just now was indeed effective. Xue Yao actually took the initiative to stand up.

Some words sound different when spoken by him and Xue Yao.

But, did you take the initiative to give me that dress?

He had not forgotten that when he took Xue Yao's clothes, Xue Yao screamed to complain to her mother, but today she changed her words and said that she "gave it to him on her own initiative"?
Sure enough, lying is a child's nature.
