Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Late at night, the sky gradually cleared up and the moon hung high in the sky.

Lin Ruoxi snuggled in Xue Rui's arms and fell asleep, but her brows became more and more solemn, as if she had had a nightmare.

"Rui." Lin Ruoxi suddenly opened her eyes and saw Xue Rui sleeping next to her. She quickly covered her mouth and looked up at the bright moon outside the window.

The moon was so round. The Mid-Autumn Festival was coming in two days. She had been thinking about going home to give gifts to Xue Rui's parents...

Lin Ruoxi was thinking blankly about the arrangements for the future. She kept adjusting her breathing, trying to calm herself down. She had just had a nightmare, dreaming that Xue Rui left and never came back...

Maybe it was because she dreamed about something during the day, she was really scared when Xue Rui untied her collar...

She knew she was very clingy, and Xue Rui's actions at that time seemed to be telling her to let her go...

It was like she untied Dawang's collar and "abandoned" him.

She glanced at the time on her cell phone. It was already four o'clock in the morning. In a few hours, it would be dawn, and Xue Rui should be returning to Hedong.

She woke up in the middle of the night with a familiar feeling of loneliness looming in her heart. She had no idea how many nightmares she had as a child, and every time she woke up she would cry secretly for a long time.

But now Xue Rui was by her side, and she only needed to hug Xue Rui to recover.

Well... in Xue Rui's words it's called "full blood resurrection".

She tiptoed to open the computer and found the location of her cell phone. Now her phone was at Gu Muxue's house, and Gu Muxue also sent her a message.

[Lin Ruoxi, I'm sorry, I took the wrong phone. I'll return to Chang'an in a few days and give it to you.]

Lin Ruoxi: It’s okay, I’ll go back and get it from you today.

She was holding Gu Muxue's cell phone. She wanted to see Xue Rui in Gu Muxue's cell phone. Gu Muxue had said before that they could look at each other's photo albums, so it shouldn't be considered peeking now, right?
She had been playing with Xue Rui for a long time last night, and now the ground was full of torn stockings...

She did it on purpose. Even though she was very tired, Xue Rui would get up very late. As long as she drew the curtains, Xue Rui would sleep until at least nine o'clock.

During these four or five hours, Xue Rui would not go anywhere and was very well behaved...

She put down the computer and gently moved closer to Xue Rui. She liked to peek at Xue Rui who was sleeping soundly, because she always felt a kind of secret joy in her heart...

The moonlight gently sprinkled in the room. She gently approached Xue Rui and wanted to kiss him. She understood why lovers kissed, because sometimes she really couldn't control herself...

"Mu Xue..."

A faint whisper sounded in Lin Ruoxi's ears, causing her to stop.

Xue Rui was talking in his sleep. She knew that Xue Rui had misunderstood classmate Gu Muxue and must have a lot to explain to Gu Muxue.

But...but she was just a little unhappy.

"Xixi, you don't have to be like this..."

Lin Ruoxi pricked up her ears instantly and hurriedly put them close to Xue Rui's lips, wanting to hear more clearly.

Unfortunately, her sleep talking was intermittent, and she didn’t know what Xue Rui dreamed about, but... at least her name was there.

She got up, closed the curtains, and fell asleep again while hugging Xue Rui.

In her dream, she dreamed of Xue Rui untying her collar, with heartache and pity in his eyes...

When she woke up again, it was already daybreak and Xue Rui was still sleeping beside her.

Lin Ruoxi rubbed her swollen and painful eyes, and then touched the pillow, which was already wet. She didn't know what was wrong. Why had she been crying lately?

Gu Muxue promised her that she would give Xue Rui to her.

But she was not happy at all now. She would rather share Xue Rui with Gu Muxue openly than have Xue Rui thinking about someone else in her bed.

In the dream, Xue Rui wanted to drive her away. She felt very uneasy, but she could do nothing about it.

Although this was just her nightmare, she felt angry with Xue Rui for the first time. What would a girl usually do at this time?

If it was classmate Gu Muxue, she would definitely pinch Xue Rui.

She hesitated for a moment, pouted and secretly pinched Xue Rui's face lightly, then retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted, and hurriedly hugged Xue Rui's head and rubbed it for a while.

She couldn't bear it.

Lin Ruoxi thought about it for a long time. She didn't think Xue Rui was wrong. She was the one who was wrong.

She didn't know what other tricks she could use to keep Xue Rui. Last night she wore a maid outfit and played with Xue Rui. This was a little trick she learned on the Internet.

However, people's threshold will become higher and higher.

Just like she used to love chocolate pie the most, but now she’s tired of it.

What if Xue Rui gets tired of eating her too?
She didn't know what to do, she just wanted Xue Rui to look at him more...

But why is it so difficult?

She recalled that her elders had given her a lot of advice, such as her grandmother, Aunt Ren, and even classmate Gu Muxue...

Everyone seemed to be saying that Xue Rui shouldn't be spoiled, otherwise Xue Rui would be the one who was fearless...

Did she do something wrong?

Yes, there is only Xue Rui in her life, just like she is the only one in Dahuang's eyes.

Lin Ruoxi felt that she had "abandoned" Da Huang, because she knew there would be no consequences, and Da Huang would still happily pester her to play the next time he saw her...

Is she Xue Rui’s “Dahuang”?

Lin Ruoxi's mouth corners drooped unconsciously. She bullied Da Huang and was afraid of Xue Rui. It turned out that she was also a bad woman who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

She held Xue Rui's head, muttering as she looked at the gap outside the window. Should she make a change?

Just like Gu Muxue, Xue Rui got nothing from her, but he still kept thinking about her in his heart...

Will the fruit that cannot be picked from the highest point always taste the best?
Is this the truth?

Classmate Gu Muxue said a lot to her yesterday, saying that she should enhance the value of her existence, and that interests are often more solid than feelings...

But what should she do?

At this time, Xue Rui kept squirming in her arms. She loosened her arms in panic, as if she had used too much force.

"Ha, huh~" Xue Rui took a deep breath of fresh air.

He was suffocated awake.

"Xixi, what are you doing?" Xue Rui asked with narrowed eyes. Was the little girl trying to smother him to death just now?
It is terrible!

"I...I'll go cook." Lin Ruoxi hurriedly put on her clothes and ran to the kitchen.

Xue Rui looked at the time. It was already past nine in the morning. He subconsciously opened WeChat and drowsily wanted to say good morning to the girl.

But when he opened the WeChat list, he found that the top contact had disappeared.

He forgot that the girl had severed ties with him...

A sense of inexplicable loneliness came over him. He had messed up.

Last night he wanted to get back to Gu Muxue's house first and intercept the little girl in advance, but the little girl wouldn't let him go...

Now the problem is serious, if the little girl tells Gu Qingshan about him...

Maybe his father has been beaten?
The pressure will only be passed down step by step, and when it reaches the bottom level it will be infinitely magnified. How badly will he be beaten by then?

He doesn't even dare to think about it!

Listening to the aroma of fried green onions coming from the kitchen outside the door, Xue Rui couldn't help but take a few more breaths, a strong breath of life, Lin Ruoxi will always be the little girl who sticks to him, this is the most reassuring thing for him. But why didn't she think of helping him put on his clothes today?

According to convention, the little girl should stand up and kiss him on the forehead, then ask him to raise his arms to put on his clothes...

But Xue Rui didn't care. He always refused anyway. The little girl should have figured it out that there was no need to worry about things like putting on clothes.

Lin Ruoxi secretly turned her head to look in the direction of Xue Rui's room from time to time. How should she make changes?
If she reduces some of the things she usually does, will Xue Rui pay more attention to her?

She didn't know, but a great man once said: Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

So, Lin Ruoxi secretly made up her mind - she would not pick up food for Xue Rui during dinner today.

When the meal was ready, Lin Ruoxi subconsciously called out, "Come out to eat."

Xue Rui walked slowly to the dining table and sat at his seat. Lin Ruoxi also set the table for him as usual.

Xue Rui picked up the food absentmindedly. He just looked at the high-speed rail tickets back to Hedong. He found that because it was the weekend and the Mid-Autumn Festival, even the standing tickets were sold out.

If he wanted to go back, he could only drive himself, but both he and Lin Ruoxi's driver's licenses were in the probation period and they could not drive on the highway.

Take the national highway?
It’s not impossible, since Mid-Autumn Festival is only on Monday anyway.

Lin Ruoxi stared at Xue Rui blankly: "Rui, you...didn't you notice that I'm different today?"

The meal was almost finished, and she didn't pick up a single bite of food for Xue Rui. Didn't Xue Rui notice?

Xue Rui looked at Lin Ruoxi in surprise. What did the little girl ask?

Does this sound like something that should come out of your mouth?
What's different from usual? Spot the Differences game?

Well, usually in this situation it's probably because the girl is dressing up somewhere, but he couldn't tell.

So, Xue Rui smiled and touched Lin Ruoxi's head, and said a universal formula: "Xixi, you are more beautiful today than yesterday."

Lin Ruoxi was confused and her face turned red unconsciously. Xue Rui praised her.

After a while, Lin Ruoxi felt something was wrong. She didn't want Xue Rui to praise her beauty, she wanted Xue Rui to notice that she had changed.

So, she picked up a piece of food from Xue Rui's bowl and prepared to take it back and eat it herself.

"I can't eat anymore, no need to serve me any more." Xue Rui said, patting his stomach and pushing his bowl to Lin Ruoxi. The little girl liked to finish his leftovers.

"Oh." Lin Ruoxi was a little unhappy, but she still obediently poured Xue Rui's leftovers into her own bowl.

She felt that she was so useless, she just couldn't refuse Xue Rui...

Xue Rui supported his face with one hand and kept turning his phone with the other hand. Now Lin Ruoxi's phone was in Gu Muxue's hand. The first thing he did when he got up was to make a call. As expected, the other party did not answer.

I can only wait until I get home to look for the little girl...

But now he was being watched by the little girl, so he had to be more restrained in the little girl's territory, because the little girl was the one in charge of the car keys.

He has to report his whereabouts to the little girl, otherwise she will be unhappy.

It’s strange to say, he always felt that something was wrong with Lin Ruoxi today, as if something was different, but he couldn’t put his finger on it.

He walked to the table next to the refrigerator. Lin Ruoxi was like a little hamster. She liked to hoard a lot of food, including various snacks.

Xue Rui opened the package, held up a chocolate pie and said, "Xixi, do you want dessert?"

Lin Ruoxi swallowed her saliva. She really wanted to run over and grab it with her mouth, but she held back: "I don't like chocolate pie anymore. I'm tired of it."

Xue Rui was stunned for a moment. Lin Ruoxi actually rejected him?
The sun really rises from the west...

"Tired of eating it?" Xue Rui looked puzzled and opened another package: "Do you want to eat Crispy Shark?"

Lin Ruoxi pursed her lips tightly. She had to control herself and not let Xue Rui tease her anymore.

But she really wanted to play with Xue Rui...

But Gu Muxue’s method is definitely correct, and she can’t always listen to Xue Rui.

"Rui, I...I can't take classes with you anymore. I want to change my major." Lin Ruoxi said courageously.

The reason why she and Xue Rui chose the same major was so that she could stick to Xue Rui all the time.

But now she wants to make a change. People say that girls who are too clingy will not be cherished...

Moreover, she had taken the software engineering courses in school, which were of no help to her in "improving her own value and retaining Xue Rui" as she had already learned everything she should learn.

Xue Rui's hand shook and the chocolate pie fell to the ground.

He doesn't understand why?
After waking up from a nap, Lin Ruoxi seemed like a different person and became much more independent.

But the first thing Xue Rui thought of was not that Lin Ruoxi was leaving him...

Instead, I feel a sense of relief like an old father - my child has finally grown up!
He had long ago advised Lin Ruoxi not to apply to the same school as him, but Lin Ruoxi didn't listen at all at that time. She was thinking about going to class and eating with him all the time...

But why did Lin Ruoxi change?
The biggest change recently is that Lin Ruoxi and Gu Muxue have been in contact very frequently...

Did the little girl do this?
That should be the case... After all, he broke the girl's heart, so it is normal for her to instigate the little girl to take revenge on him.

However, Xue Rui discovered that Lin Ruoxi started crying first after she said this.

"Xixi, what's wrong with you?" Xue Rui walked forward and comforted her.

Lin Ruoxi squatted on the ground and wiped her tears secretly.

She knew that her choice was the right one, but she felt so sad when she thought about not being able to study in the same classroom with Xue Rui in the future...

She regretted it and wanted to take back her words, but when she remembered Gu Muxue's instructions, she held back.

Is this the price of growth?
"Xixi, if you don't want to change, then don't change it." Xue Rui said softly.

Lin Ruoxi clearly wanted to take classes with her, but she cried when she said she wanted to change her major...

What a joke this girl is. If she doesn’t come crying and ask to change it back in a few days, it would be better not to change it from the beginning.

"Rui, I don't want to be a silly girl who only knows how to eat and sleep with me anymore." Lin Ruoxi said bitterly.

The short separation now is not only for Xue Rui to see her more, but also for her to stay by Xue Rui's side in the future.

She had seen Gu Muxue's photo album. Gu Muxue had too many...

Everything she has now was given by Xue Rui. She has nothing of her own. She doesn't want to live in this muddle-headed way. One day it will really become like in her dream. Xue Rui will untie her collar and let her go.

At that time, what could she do to keep Xue Rui?

"Rui, there are no high-speed rail tickets left. I'll drive you home this afternoon."

"You misunderstood classmate Gu Muxue. You should apologize to her in person." Lin Ruoxi said lightly.

She picked up the chocolate pie that fell from Xue Rui's hand, gently wiped off the layer of dust on the surface, put it into her mouth and ate it nonchalantly.

When Xue Rui saw the little girl picking up things to eat, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, thinking that it is difficult to change one's nature.

He felt that Lin Ruoxi was very tough today. Her words just now seemed to carry an order that could not be refused. He joked, "Aren't you tired of eating?"

"We can't waste food." Lin Ruoxi said in a low voice. She didn't feel embarrassed in front of Xue Rui.

I will never get tired of what you give me.

Lin Ruoxi said in her heart. (End of this chapter)
