Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 281 I don't want him to show off

In the blink of an eye, it is the end of August and time to go back to school.

The high-speed railway station was bustling with people. Even the morning sun was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes. Many people hid in the shade against the wall and sat on their suitcases to rest.

The high-speed railway station in Hedong was built not long ago, and a large statue of Guan Gong was placed in the middle of the square, which can be regarded as a feature of Hedong.

It is the beginning of the school year and almost all the passengers on the bus are students and their parents.

"Remember to get along well with your classmates when you go to school, and remember to go home for National Day. Mom will buy you a ticket in advance then."

"Also, this thick quilt is for winter..."

Mei Lili's parents kept nagging their child about matters related to the long journey. In fact, it was not just Mei Lili, most of the mothers who came to send their children did the same.

"Mom, you guys go back. We're going with four of my classmates." After saying goodbye to her parents, Mei Lili spotted two familiar figures not far away, Xue Rui and Qiu Mengze, who were chatting with someone in the shade.

An uncle asked Qiu Mengze: "Classmate, are you freshmen? No one is here to see you off?"

"No one will take us there, so we have to go by ourselves." Qiu Mengze patted Xue Rui on the shoulder and said.

In fact, his parents were going to come too, but Xue Rui said that it was completely unnecessary. There was a school bus to pick them up as soon as they got out of the station, and his parents would just join the crowd for a day trip.

He felt that what Xue Rui said made sense, so he left the ticket purchasing matter to Xue Rui with confidence.

"Look how independent she is. She actually goes to school alone." After listening to the girl, the man said to her with an educational tone.

The girl said with a dissatisfied look on her face: "I said that I can go with my classmates, but didn't you insist on sending me?"

"Is this the question I want to ask? At your age, it's not safe to carry a large amount of cash..."

Qiu Mengze was shocked. He was just pretending to be cool, so why did these two people start arguing?
Should he persuade her? How should he persuade her?
Xue Rui yawned out of boredom. The hot and humid weather made him drowsy. What were the father and daughter next to him talking about?

Xue Rui took out a tissue and wiped his face, then wiped the corners of his eyes: "It's not a question of independence or not. I would like to ask my parents to send me off, but the problem is that I don't have the conditions."

His father had sent him before, but in this life...

He started traveling around the country after graduating from high school. Compared with Guangdong senior officials, An was almost at his doorstep, so of course no one came to see him off.

After hearing Xue Rui's words, the father and daughter immediately stopped arguing.

The girl handed Xue Rui a bottle of water: "Here you go."

"Thank you." Xue Rui unscrewed the bottle and took a sip.

The man said with a guilty look on his face: "I'm sorry, classmate. We are all from the same hometown. Which school do you go to? Uncle will give you a ride if it's convenient."

He just wanted to use this as an excuse to educate his child, but now he thinks he is a really inhuman person.

Qiu Mengze was confused. It was obviously Xue Rui's family who felt that there was no need to send it. What did they mean by "not having the conditions"?
He spoke like an orphan, and when he wiped the sweat off his face, he wiped the corners of his eyes, just like he was wiping tears...

If he didn't know Xue Rui, he would have been deceived and felt guilty.

"He is from the University of Posts and Telecommunications, and I am from the College of Arts and Sciences," said Qiu Mengze.

The girl was surprised and said, "I also work at the Post and Telecommunications Department. I wonder if we are in the same campus."

The man looked at Xue Rui with admiration, then looked at his daughter and sighed silently.

The girl was speechless. She understood what her father meant. He was clearly saying: Look at how well others did in the exam without their parents...

They are from the same school, so why are others better than her?
With a look of dissatisfaction on her face, she dragged her suitcase and sat next to Xue Rui, so that she would reduce the chance of being nagged by her father.

Mei Lili also rushed over at this time, and naturally pushed the suitcase towards Qiu Mengze, meaning to ask Qiu Mengze to move away.

She found that the girl next to Xue Rui was quite pretty. As Gu Muxue's best friend, she had to look after Xue Rui.

"Hello, my name is Qin Wanqing, and I'm from Linxian High School." The girl said with a smile.

Qiu Mengze looked helpless. Just now, several men were about to come over to chat with Qin Wanqing. He thought those men wanted her contact information, but since the girl's father was here, he had to give up. He didn't expect that the girl would take the initiative to find Xue Rui.

Xue Rui frowned, there was nothing he could do, it was his fault that he had just helped the girl out in disguise. Now they happened to be from the same school and were also from the same place, so they would definitely have to chat more.

If he didn't have a girlfriend, and this girl was pretty, he would definitely take the opportunity to chat her up. But the situation was different now. Gu Muxue was not far away, and Mei Lili, the lackey, was watching him.

"My name is Xue Rui." After Xue Rui said this, he glanced at Gu Muxue in the distance.

Qin Wanqing also noticed the girl who was dressed in a fashionable style. Many boys stopped to admire her, and even Xue Rui was no exception.

"Xue'er, Master Yang will pick you up at the station. He will bring Xiaobu with him." Zhao Lizhen said.

"Oh." Gu Muxue said dissatisfiedly. She had already said that she wanted to go to school alone, so why did her mother make arrangements?

Gu Qingshan took a deep breath: "Some things are hard to say in front of Xiao Rui. I called you alone because I have something to say. When you are outside, you must protect yourself and keep a distance from Xiao Rui. Don't just..."

Gu Muxue felt that her father had been nagging lately. He had said the same thing at least ten times. She could only stand there and wait silently for him to finish.

"Xiao Rui is really something. Why did he buy a second-class seat?" Zhao Lizhen said.

Gu Muxue said, "Because most of my classmates are sitting in second class, if I always sit in business class, it will be difficult to meet my classmates."

She thought that this was what Xue Rui was thinking. Since she was going to school with her classmates, if everything was done according to her spending habits, it would bring a considerable burden to her classmates. She found that this was also the reason why she had few friends before.

She looked back in the direction of Xue Rui. If she had been in business class, she would have been in the business waiting room enjoying the air conditioning instead of chatting with the classmates around her.

“Xiao Rui is right about this. It’s okay to experience it once.” Gu Qingshan nodded.

Xue Rui waved and smiled at Gu Muxue, but Gu Muxue saw two girls next to Xue Rui, one of whom she didn't know yet. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Are all boys like this? She ignored you." Qin Wanqing joked. Boys of this age are really interesting. They want to say hello when they see a pretty girl.

Xue Rui thought to himself that it was because you were next to me, and the girl must be a little jealous.

"She..." Xue Rui said.

At the same time, a voice came from the side: "She looked at me."

"One of the three great illusions in life." Xue Rui raised his head and looked at the boy who was speaking, thinking that this guy was too narcissistic.

"Could it be you?" The boy looked at Xue Rui with disdain. He found that Xue Rui had a tissue under his butt. It was really indecent for him to sit on the ground without caring about his image.

Mei Lili frowned and said, "You are talking nonsense. Mu Xue is clearly looking at me."

Several people were stunned. You, a woman, said this? What's going on?
Xue Rui waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'm looking at you."

The boy next to him noticed the bright spot. The girl actually called out her name. He took out a bottle of iced mineral water from his bag and handed it to Mei Lili, saying in a flattering manner, "Classmate, do you know that beautiful girl? What's her full name?"

Mei Lili did not go to answer it. Instead, she put down her suitcase and sat down next to Xue Rui.

Xue Rui saw the boy holding the water awkwardly, and he reached out to take it: "Thank you, I just happened to be thirsty."

The boy looked at the other bottle of mineral water in Xue Rui's hand with annoyance, and thought to himself, don't you have a bottle in your hand?

Well, he should have been rescued. How brave of him.

"Alas, Mu Xue is from Jiaotong University and she's not even in the same district as me. We won't be able to meet often in the future." Mei Lili sighed.

When the boy heard that the beauty was from a top university, he took a deep breath and muttered, "Hiss~ This is a bit difficult. It would be easier if she was from the same school as me." "It's easier to pursue someone from the same school? Is there such a saying?" Qiu Mengze asked. He found that this person's aura was very loose, and she didn't seem like a freshman who was about to start school. He wanted to ask for some advice.

"I'm a sophomore and I'm in the student union. There are plenty of opportunities."

When the boy mentioned "student union", his tone became noticeably louder.

"Senior, what does the Student Union do?" Qiu Mengze asked curiously. He had no idea about the departments in the school. There just happened to be a Student Union here. He thought it was the same whether it was from the same school or not.

"That depends on which department you're asking about. The departments with real power have many benefits, while some just have to do a lot of menial work all year round and get no benefits at all..."

The boy's words attracted the attention of many freshmen around him. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, thinking that he could use the same words to attract the attention of the beautiful girl later.

At this time, Gu Muxue happened to be walking towards the entrance. Xue Rui patted his butt and stood up, which made the boy look at him sideways.

"Are you going to go up? I don't even have the confidence to do that." The boy said in surprise. He was a sophomore and didn't have much hope for a freshman like Xue Rui who carried a big schoolbag.

"That senior..." Qiu Mengze said embarrassedly.

"Don't interrupt, let's talk later." The boy thought Qiu Mengze was going to ask another question, and he was busy admiring the beauty.

Of course, by the way, looking at Xue Rui's face when he was rejected, the girl's outfit cost tens of thousands of yuan, and he really didn't have the confidence to say hello.

"How do you know if there is a chance if you don't try? Young people of our generation must have the courage to try." Xue Rui walked towards Gu Muxue with a bottle of mineral water.

Gu Muxue noticed Xue Rui walking towards her and handed her a bottle of water.

Xue Rui unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and handed it to Gu Muxue, who then handed the parasol to Xue Rui and gently put her arm around Xue Rui.

The boy's eyes almost popped out. What happened?

The two of them chatted here for a long time. It seemed like they knew each other. Their actions were so intimate that they were just like a couple.

Xue Rui blinked at the boy, but the boy didn't react. Mei Lili pouted and turned her head away.

He thought of his attitude towards Xue Rui just now, which was really embarrassing. He shifted his attention to Qiu Mengze and pretended to have forgotten what had just happened.

"By the way, junior, what did you want to say just now?"

Qiu Mengze felt that this man was really thick-skinned. He murmured, "It's nothing. I just wanted to remind you that Gu Muxue is his girlfriend. I don't want him to show off."

"Look, now she's still drinking your water, so you're kind of participating."

"It's not that I think so. I've known that guy for more than ten years. I guess that's what he thinks."

"Then why didn't you tell me in advance?" The boy looked unhappy.

"You just didn't let me speak." Qiu Mengze was speechless. He continued to ask: "By the way, the External Relations Department you just mentioned..."

Seeing Xue Rui getting closer, the boy hurriedly carried the box and walked into the crowd: "See you again if we're lucky."

Qiu Mengze scratched his head: "Damn it, you just pretended and ran away. Did I call you senior for nothing? You didn't say anything useful."

Xue Rui thought to himself that the boy ran away really fast without even giving him a chance to slap him in the face. It turned out that his college studies were not in vain.

"Let's go, it's time to enter the station." Xue Rui said.

Before, there were too many people in the station. You could see a lot of people standing in the waiting room through the glass. Now that a wave of people have left, a lot of seats have been vacated.

"I'll help you carry your luggage." Xue Rui said as he took Gu Muxue's suitcase.

Gu Muxue tilted her head: "Most of my luggage was taken away by Uncle Yang, where is your luggage?"

She found it very strange. Others went to school with big bags, but Xue Rui only had a simple school bag.

"Nothing to bring."

"The school seems to provide bedding and other things, and other things can be bought elsewhere. There's no need to carry them back and forth, it's really too troublesome." Xue Rui said truthfully.

"By the way, I asked about the size of the beds in your school before, and I made a custom mattress for you. You can ask Uncle Yang for it when the time comes." Gu Muxue said. She felt that the mattress in Xue Rui's room was a bit hard.

"So thoughtful." Xue Rui subconsciously moved his face closer, and when he got closer, he remembered that this was a girl, not a little girl.

Gu Muxue frowned and pushed Xue Rui away. She found that Xue Rui had been too much recently and was always impatient. She didn't want her first kiss to be so casual.

Besides... there are so many people at the station, it's really embarrassing.

……

After entering the station, Mei Lili pulled Gu Muxue to sit aside, while Qiu Mengze pulled Xue Rui aside and whispered to him.

As for Qin Wanqing, who was from the same school, no one knew where she was taken by her father.

"Where is Lin Ruoxi? Are you planning to let her go alone? She gave up Peking University and Tsinghua University for you, are you still a human being?" Qiu Mengze cursed in a low voice. The reporting time for the University of Posts and Telecommunications is also today.

Xue Rui thought that his childhood friend had a strong sense of justice. He whispered, "She and I will report tomorrow. I will be back after sending Mu Xue off today."

Qiu Mengze suddenly remembered that when he picked up the ticket just now, he found that Xue Rui had another train back to Hedong. He thought there was a bug in the system, so he didn't print the ticket.

Qiu Mengze shook his head: "You're so tired."

Xue Rui opened her phone and saw that the little girl had sent her a lot of messages:
[Rui, can you come over for dinner tonight? ]

[I will keep the notice in good condition. Please be careful on the road.]

[Can I eat rice? I'm out of noodles at home. If I buy more, it will go bad and I won't be able to eat it...]

……

Xue Rui replied: Both are fine.

After turning off his phone, he said to Qiu Mengze, "Don't mind my business. Where's your partner? No, where's your prospective partner?"

Qiu Mengze stammered, "Qin Tong went there early, and the school starts at a different time."

"Oh, I understand." Xue Rui said perfunctorily.

"If you don't believe it, you can check it out."

"Well, you're right."

"You are so annoying, you must check it for me today!"

……

Gu Muxue looked at everything around her curiously. She used to be just a spectator from a distance, but now that she was among the crowd, she sensed a different kind of feeling, like the "smell of fireworks" that Xue Rui mentioned.

She opened the QQ group and took a look. Many classmates had already arrived at school. Some people took photos of the campus and posted them in the group. The registration office was almost overcrowded.

"Xiao Rui, how are you going to school later?" Gu Muxue shouted to Xue Rui. She had Yang Xing with her, but Xue Rui really had to go to school alone.

"What school am I going to? I came here specially to take you here today."
