Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Lin Ruoxi was confused from beginning to end. She lowered her head and stared blankly at Xue Rui in the photo.

"Sister Ruoxi? Agree quickly." Xue Yao reminded.

She didn't have much contact with Lin Ruoxi, but she often heard her mother praise Lin Ruoxi, and the look in her eyes when she looked at her brother was enough to melt people's hearts.

It would be nice if she was Lin Ruoxi's sister. She would be closer than sister-in-law...

"Xixi?" Ren Qunfang said with a smile.

Lin Ruoxi treated herself as an outsider and was busy running around in her house, as if being more diligent would give her a greater sense of security.

She wanted Lin Ruoxi to have an identity where she could be willful, without having to please everyone all the time, which would be too tiring.

"Why...why?" Lin Ruoxi said in a low voice with her head down.

"This way you can live here openly. There's no one at home anyway, right?" Ren Qunfang said earnestly.

Lin Ruoxi calmed down and thought, does Aunt Ren want to give her an identity that allows her to live here?

But she already has one—Xue Rui’s girlfriend.

"I……"

Before Lin Ruoxi could speak, Ren Qunfang interrupted, "It's unstable. When young people are in love, they make vows to each other, but in the end they break up and quarrel..."

Xue Yao listened to the instructions carefully and nodded repeatedly: "Mom, you are right, dogs don't even talk about love."

"Just say less." Ren Qunfang frowned.

“Sister Ruoxi, don’t think too much. I said my brother is a dog.” Xue Yao added hurriedly.

Lin Ruoxi's face turned pale and she bit her lips tightly. She had never thought about this before. She felt that she and Xue Rui would be together forever...

Yes, she has lived too comfortably in the past two years and has forgotten all her previous living habits.

Be fully prepared and plan for the worst...

But she just didn't want to think about it, because that would question Xue Rui's words.

Xue Rui said he loved her very much and would never leave her.

She believes...

But the reality is that the classmates around them are constantly experiencing breakups, and even Gu Muxue no longer associates with Xue Rui.

Xue Rui's mother's words suddenly made her worried.

Will Xue Rui leave her?
"He...didn't agree." Lin Ruoxi said in a low voice, her voice trembling slightly.

Xue Yao said nonchalantly: "We all vote in our family."

"Mom, how many votes do we have now?"

Ren Qunfang smiled faintly: "Your father and I both agree, and with you it's three to one."

Lin Ruoxi shook her head: "No, Rui has to nod."

Ren Qunfang and Xue Yao looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes. Xue Rui has a veto power?

"Then talk to him tomorrow and go to rest first." Ren Qunfang smiled bitterly. This girl is really stubborn.

"Hmm..." Lin Ruoxi put the photo in her hand back to its place.

"Here, this one is for you." Ren Qunfang said with a smile. Lin Ruoxi had been staring at it for a long time.

Lin Ruoxi was arranged to stay in the room next to Xue Yao. Looking at the cozy furnishings in the room and a small family portrait in her hand, Xue Rui in the photo was only in his teens and it seemed to have been taken when he was in elementary school. She thought he was very cute.

After she heard what Ren Qunfang said, she suddenly felt uneasy and wanted to hug Xue Rui...

She took out her cell phone and sent a message to Xue Rui: Are you asleep?

After waiting in the room for ten minutes, Xue Rui still did not respond. Lin Ruoxi decided to sneak into Xue Rui's room to sleep tonight...

"Finally done!" Xue Xiaying walked out of the room, covering her neck. She was about to come out to drink some water.

She found that Lin Ruoxi tiptoed past Xue Yao's room and sneaked to the door of Xue Rui's room.

"..."

Forget it, we are all adults, it must be consensual.

Well... not necessarily.

But even if Xue Rui disagrees, so what? Xue Rui won't suffer any loss.

So she pretended not to see it.

At this time, in Xue Rui's room.

Lin Ruoxi gently walked around behind Xue Rui, she glanced at the air conditioner, took the remote control and adjusted the wind direction to the highest position, then gently covered Xue Rui with a blanket. She lay beside Xue Rui and watched him for a long time.

At this moment, it seems like I have returned to two years ago.

But it’s different from before, at least the mentality is different.

In the past, she was afraid that Xue Rui would suddenly wake up and scold her.

Now there is no need, she can even reach out and touch Xue Rui's face.

"Puchi~" Lin Ruoxi forced Xue Rui's mouth into an "o" shape. She couldn't help laughing and gently kissed Xue Rui on the lips.

When she saw Xue Rui, she felt relieved and felt that her previous worries were unnecessary.

But as she laughed, she somehow started crying again.

She has never been so happy, so she should be happy, right?
She wiped her tears with a tissue, climbed into Xue Rui's bed quietly, held Xue Rui in her arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

……

The next morning, there is always the call of the cuckoo after the rain, which makes people happy.

As usual, Ren Qunfang called the whole family to get up for breakfast. The room closest to hers was the one arranged for Lin Ruoxi last night.

She reached out and knocked on the door: "Xixi is up."

Will Lin Ruoxi stay in bed?

This was something she had not expected, but it was also what she most hoped to see.

She got up very early today, for fear of seeing Lin Ruoxi making breakfast at her house and waiting for the whole family to get up and eat.

Maybe what I said last night worked? Lin Ruoxi treated this place as her own home?
This is a good thing...

Ren Qunfang just called out a few words softly and left. She wanted Lin Ruoxi to sleep a little longer.

Then she walked to Xue Yao's door and knocked on it with her hand: "Get up and eat. What time did you play games until last night?"

"Mom! Stop knocking."

It was not until Xue Yao's lazy voice was heard that Ren Qunfang shook her head and stopped what she was doing.

This is her daily routine. Now Xue Rui is also at home, so she should call Xue Rui from now on.

Ren Qunfang walked to the door of Xue Rui's room and opened it without hesitation.

Because Xue Rui couldn't wake him up by knocking on the door...

"Lazy bone, it's already so late and you're still not..." Ren Qunfang gradually stopped talking, but his eyes became wider and wider.

What did she see?

Lin Ruoxi hugged Xue Rui to sleep? There was a sweet smile on her face.

She actually already knew about Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi's affair last night, but she was too bold!

There are other people at home, and we are just sleeping on the same bed!
She was so angry at Xue Rui that her teeth were itching.

Hearing the noise beside her ears, Lin Ruoxi slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing Ren Qunfang standing at the door, Lin Ruoxi hurriedly got up. She slowly pulled her arm, which was numbed by Xue Rui, out from under Xue Rui's neck.

Lin Ruoxi rubbed her sleepy eyes and glanced out the window. It had been daybreak for a long time.

Because of the fatigue from driving for a long time, she overslept today.

"I overslept. I'll go cook now." Lin Ruoxi said in a low voice, afraid of waking up Xue Rui who was still sleeping.

Ren Qunfang smiled at Lin Ruoxi: "That's not what you should do. The meal is ready."

"I finally get a few days off, let me sleep more." Xue Rui closed his eyes, completely unaware of the environment he was in.

When Ren Qunfang heard that Xue Rui had woken up, she walked to Xue Rui's bed, reached out and pinched Xue Rui's ears and pulled them up, preparing to force Xue Rui to turn on the phone.

"Auntie!" Lin Ruoxi hurriedly protected Xue Rui and pulled Ren Qunfang's hand in the opposite direction.

"What?" Xue Rui's mind suddenly became much clearer. Why was Lin Ruoxi's voice still in his ears?

The softness in front of him felt so familiar, as if Lin Ruoxi was pressing on him.

When he opened his eyes, all the hair on his body stood up. Lin Ruoxi was lying on top of him in her pajamas, and behind the little girl was his blanket...

His hair is disheveled, as if he just got out of his bed?
His mother stood beside the bed with a gloomy face.

"Fuck!" Xue Rui shouted in his heart. Could it be that the little girl slept in his bed last night?
And then...he was caught by his mother?

He wasn't quite sure in his heart, but the reality seemed to be like this...

No, no, no, the little girl gets up very early, absolutely not!
Xue Rui kept comforting himself in his heart, he was not ready yet!

Without any preparation, he was caught sleeping with a girl by his parents in his own home...

Why does it feel like I was caught cheating in bed?
He glanced at Lin Ruoxi and found that the little girl didn't even blush?
Lin Ruoxi is really thick-skinned!
He was so embarrassed!
"Explain it to me? Why is Lin Ruoxi in your bed?" Ren Qunfang said with a dark face.

Lin Ruoxi told her last night that she wasn't that angry about sleeping in the same bed, she was just shocked by Xue Rui's audacity...

In her opinion, Lin Ruoxi must have been called over by Xue Rui.

She swallowed and subconsciously looked into the trash can...

Several crumpled tissues lay quietly in the trash can.

This made her frown even tighter.

Xue Rui’s eyes suddenly widened. There were no papers last night!
In fact, that was the tissue Lin Ruoxi used to wipe her tears last night.

"Mom, listen..."

Ren Qunfang slapped Xue Rui on the leg, and the recoil made her hand numb.

Lin Ruoxi hurriedly pulled Xue Rui's legs back and said in a pleading tone, "Auntie, please stop hitting me."

Xue Rui felt so aggrieved. He didn't do anything wrong, so why did he have to endure so much anger?
"Xixi, why did you run into my bed?" Xue Rui asked.

He thought Lin Ruoxi slept with his mother last night and forgot to remind Lin Ruoxi not to look for him. He hadn't prepared his mother yet.

He wrapped himself in a blanket, leaving only his head exposed, and said with a wronged look on his face: "My innocence!"

Ren Qunfang's brows twitched. She knew it last night. Is Xue Rui pretending to be stupid now?
"You're biting back? Let me show you how I'm going to deal with you."

Ren Qunfang said coldly, how could she be born with such a double-faced person?
The noise in the room attracted Xue Yao and Xue Xiaying to watch.

When the two saw the scene in the room, they couldn't help but cover their faces.

Xue Yao was too embarrassed to look at him. Her brother was shirtless like Lao Wang who was caught cheating...

Xue Xiaying looked helpless. She saw Lin Ruoxi walk into Xue Rui's room last night. Now it seemed that Xue Rui was wronged?

Because no one said it clearly, Lin Ruoxi had no idea why Xue Rui was beaten and why Ren Qunfang was so angry.

Xue Rui looked so pitiful curled up at the head of the bed wrapped in a small blanket that made her heart tremble.

Lin Ruoxi couldn’t understand. She was Xue Rui’s girlfriend, and Aunt Ren knew about what happened between her and Xue Rui, so why would she be angry?
All she could do was to protect Xue Rui, and she held Xue Rui tightly in her arms.

"Brother, did we get it wrong?" Xue Yao felt it was simply too much to bear!

Her brother hid in Lin Ruoxi's arms, and Lin Ruoxi gently stroked her brother's head, as if comforting a child who had been wronged.

Xue Rui said, "I really slept alone last night, and when I woke up she was already in my bed. I really didn't lie."

Ren Qunfang was so angry that she laughed. She said to Xue Xiaying, "Xiaying, do you believe it? What does Xixi look like? You made her sound like a female hooligan."

"Aunt, you say." Xue Rui straightened his back. Xue Xiaying knew that Lin Ruoxi was the most proactive one.

Xue Xiaying opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopping herself. She felt that her sister-in-law would not believe her even if she told her.

It’s better not to say it.

Xiao Rui, you will understand me, right?

"Look, you've made your aunt so angry that she has nothing to say." Ren Qunfang said, pinching her eyebrows.

Xue Rui's face became more and more ugly. Did his aunt shut up?

"You're taking advantage of me and still acting ungrateful." Xue Yao echoed.

Ren Qunfang frowned and said, "Go downstairs and eat. Children shouldn't look at anything."

Lin Ruoxi suddenly realized, this is why Aunt Ren was angry?
Lin Ruoxi hurriedly explained: "Auntie, I sneaked into Xue Rui's room last night."

Xue Rui nodded vigorously: "Did you hear that? She admitted it herself."

"Xixi, don't be afraid of him. Tell the truth to your aunt. I will support you." Ren Qunfang said to Lin Ruoxi with a smile.

Lin Ruoxi glanced at a few people and stammered, "The truth is..."

Several people pricked up their ears instantly, wanting to hear the "truth of the incident."

"I...I'm a female hooligan." Lin Ruoxi said weakly.

"Well, you are very self-aware." Xue Rui nodded with satisfaction.

Lin Ruoxi pouted. She thought of what she had done in the past. She secretly went to see Xue Rui in the middle of the night, smelled the scent on Xue Rui's body, and even sneaked into Xue Rui's quilt yesterday...

Xue Rui is right...

"But... I'm Xue Rui's girlfriend, can't we sleep together?" Lin Ruoxi asked in a low voice, with a timid look in her eyes.

Lin Ruoxi's question silenced everyone.

Ren Qunfang glared at Xue Rui fiercely and said unhappily, "Get up and eat!"

Lin Ruoxi hurriedly started picking up clothes from the bedside and reached out to put them on Xue Rui's head.

"Let him dress himself!"

……

The dinner table.

"I feel wronged." Xue Rui said softly, expressing the distress in his heart.

Lin Ruoxi's innocent nature had caused him so much trouble today...

Lin Ruoxi knew that Xue Rui felt very aggrieved, so she kept comforting him in a low voice.

"I will compensate you. You can do whatever you want, okay?" Lin Ruoxi said in Xue Rui's ear.

"Okay, stop shouting and drink your milk." Ren Qunfang handed Xue Rui a cup of yogurt.

Just now Xue Xiaying told her that Lin Ruoxi was indeed the one who took the initiative...

She had indeed not expected this. In her opinion, Lin Ruoxi was quiet and gentle, and should be a traditional and reserved girl...

But the reality proved that it was her stereotype.

Xue Rui raised his cup and took a sip: "I accept your apology."

Lin Ruoxi blinked. When did Aunt Ren apologize?

Xue Rui saw Lin Ruoxi's puzzled face, and he whispered: "You don't know, when parents wrongly accuse their children, eating is an apology."

"Have you told Xiaorui about what happened last night?" Ren Qunfang interrupted their whispers.

Xue Rui looked around the table and found that he and Xue Xiaying were the only ones with puzzled expressions.

Lin Ruoxi swallowed her saliva. She had made up her mind. She wanted to be Xue Rui's sister...

"Rui, do you want a sister?" Lin Ruoxi said, looking into Xue Rui's eyes.

"I want to adopt Xixi as my daughter." Ren Qunfang said.

Xue Rui almost spit out his yogurt. This news was really explosive. He turned his head and looked at Lin Ruoxi: "Oh? Do I have to call you sister from now on?"

"Well, I'm older than you." Lin Ruoxi said with a smile.

There are many possibilities for his mother to adopt Lin Ruoxi as her daughter, and Xue Rui doesn't know where his mother's starting point is.

He asked, "Why?"

Ren Qunfang said quietly, "If you and Xixi can't be together in the future, you can't delay Xixi. I will find a good family for her to marry and find you a brother-in-law."

Xue Rui's brows twitched. Threatening him?

Well, well, he had to admit that his mother really knew how to control him.

No one knows a child better than his mother!

This is quite cruel!
"No...I don't think so!"

Lin Ruoxi looked flustered. She had never thought of leaving Xue Rui.

"Didn't you just say that you wanted to be my sister?" Xue Rui said with a smile. Why was the little girl still so anxious?
"Yes, she's my sister and also my girlfriend." Lin Ruoxi said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Xue Rui didn't understand.

According to his understanding of Lin Ruoxi, he was actually unwilling to agree, but the little girl did agree...

Lin Ruoxi bit her lip and motioned Xue Rui to move his ear closer.

Xue Rui put his ear close, and the soft breath hit his ear. Lin Ruoxi's soft voice came into his ears:
"If... I mean if, if we have no future, I am still your sister, I want to stay by your side as your sister and take care of you forever..."

Lin Ruoxi knew that she was not the only one in Xue Rui's heart. If they really ended up separating, she still had the status to stay by Xue Rui's side.

"Can I...?" (End of this chapter)
