Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Gu Muxue felt a warm touch on her fingertips, and the panic and pain when her finger was cut just now disappeared without a trace.

"You...what are you doing? It's very dirty." Gu Muxue said unnaturally.

She usually heard Lin Ruoxi chopping vegetables in the kitchen with the sound of "deng deng deng" and thought she could do it too. Unexpectedly, she cut her finger because of her fast speed.

Lin Ruoxi's almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, and she remembered that Gu Muxue was very fond of cleanliness.

Lin Ruoxi quickly spit out her finger and said in panic:

"I'm sorry, I'm used to doing this. I'll go find some iodine and a Band-Aid."

Gu Muxue looked at Lin Ruoxi's back and murmured to herself: "I mean the fingers are dirty..."

Lin Ruoxi didn't mind that her fingers were dirty, so how could she mind Lin Ruoxi?

Gu Muxue thought about it and wondered if she would not be disgusted if it was someone else.
However, just thinking about it, it seemed that except for Xue Rui, she would get goose bumps all over her body...

It turned out that, unknowingly, Lin Ruoxi had become a very special person in her heart.

Lin Ruoxi carefully disinfected and bandaged Gu Muxue's fingers. After finishing everything, she said softly: "I...I'll do it. You don't have to apologize. I should have been beaten anyway."

She helped Xue Rui to deceive Gu Muxue. She was the one who did something wrong. Gu Muxue never blamed her from beginning to end and even gave Xue Rui to her...

She is staying with Gu Muxue not only to take care of the patient, but also to atone for Xue Rui and herself.

"Does it hurt?" Lin Ruoxi asked.

Gu Muxue shook her head: "When I hit you before, did it hurt?"

"I'm fine. It doesn't matter if I get beaten a few more times so you can get better soon." Lin Ruoxi said crisply.

Dr. He said that depression is mostly caused by psychological problems, and venting is helpful for the condition.

After hesitating for a long time, Gu Muxue tentatively said, "Teach me how to cut."

"Okay." Lin Ruoxi walked into the kitchen, washed the fallen kitchen knife and handed it to Gu Muxue, ready to guide Gu Muxue in cooking.

When Gu Muxue stood in front of the chopping board, she gently hugged Gu Muxue from behind and taught her how to cut vegetables step by step.

She is a little taller than Gu Muxue, so this posture is just right.

"Use your knuckles to hold the knife against the surface so you don't cut your hands." Lin Ruoxi whispered.

It’s just that Gu Muxue is left-handed, so her gestures for holding things are opposite to others. Lin Ruoxi holds Gu Muxue’s left hand and cuts the vegetables bit by bit, as if she is a novice in the kitchen...

Gu Muxue felt that the current posture...

It's not like she hadn't thought that Xue Rui would do this, standing behind her, hugging her and teaching her how to cook.

But was Lin Ruoxi the first person to hug her like this?

She felt the warmth coming from behind her, her heart beating fast, and she whispered, "Why are you cutting so slowly?"

Gu Muxue is just looking for trouble now, she is afraid that Lin Ruoxi will discover her abnormality.

Lin Ruoxi suddenly put down the kitchen knife and grabbed Gu Muxue's shoulders with both hands.

Gu Muxue curled her lips. She had been finding fault with Lin Ruoxi. Was Lin Ruoxi finally angry?

That was just right. She had hit Lin Ruoxi today and she still felt bad about it...

However, Lin Ruoxi asked with a worried look on her face: "Your heartbeat is so fast, do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up?"

Gu Muxue blushed and stuttered, "I'm fine, it's the side effects of the medicine."

"Side effects?" Lin Ruoxi fell into deep thought. It wasn't in the instructions. She said to herself, "I'll call Dr. He and ask."

Gu Muxue hurriedly grabbed Lin Ruoxi's hand and said, "Don't ask. Don't...don't ask."

Gu Muxue felt embarrassed and annoyed. That psychologist was really amazing. He seemed to be able to see through people's hearts...

She didn't know what the analysis results would reveal, so she anxiously grabbed Lin Ruoxi's hand and bit it.

"Hiss~" Lin Ruoxi subconsciously took a step back. She didn't know how she had made Gu Muxue angry again.

Gu Muxue was stunned at this moment. She was confused after biting herself. She didn't know what happened to her...

Gu Muxue had not been looking at Lin Ruoxi in a good light for a while, just wanting to get rid of Lin Ruoxi as soon as possible. But since the moment she saw Lin Ruoxi taking off the hood of the teddy bear doll costume, everything seemed to have changed subtly.

Lin Ruoxi looked at the row of teeth marks on her hand and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry."

"Go out now. I'll call you when dinner is ready." Gu Muxue said with her back turned.

Today, Lin Ruoxi was beaten for no reason. She felt bad and wanted to do what Lin Ruoxi usually did for her as an apology...

More than half an hour later, Gu Muxue came out of the kitchen wearing an apron. She would cook when she felt like it at home, but usually the nanny would help prepare the dishes, and then she would go to the kitchen to be the "chef" and receive praise from her family.

But she usually only stir-fried the vegetables, which only took a few minutes from putting them in the pot to taking them out of the pot. She never thought that washing, picking and cutting vegetables were such troublesome things. Lin Ruoxi would cook for her every day, and she didn't know how much time and energy she spent...

A sudden feeling of guilt rose in her heart.

"Try it, it's not as delicious as yours." Gu Muxue handed Lin Ruoxi a pair of chopsticks. She knew that her cooking was just average.

Lin Ruoxi put a lot of food into her bowl and said as she ate, "It's delicious. Everything you cook is delicious."

She was absent-minded now. She missed Xue Rui so much. She hadn't seen Xue Rui for a week. She wanted to go back and play with Xue Rui on the weekend.

"I... I'll help you prepare tomorrow's meals later. I want to go back and take a look." Lin Ruoxi said weakly. She was afraid that Gu Muxue would not agree.

Gu Muxue said calmly: "You are not allowed to leave."

She hadn't finished what Lin Ruoxi had asked her to do, so how could she apologize halfway?

Regardless of whether Lin Ruoxi cares or not, she cares about this matter very much now.

"But..." Lin Ruoxi looked at Gu Muxue with pleading eyes.

Gu Muxue shook her head: "No buts, take a shower after dinner."

"Well, okay." Lin Ruoxi did not dare to refute. Gu Muxue was still as strong as ever.

After dinner, Gu Muxue prepared water for Lin Ruoxi in the bathroom. She threw the bath towel and Lin Ruoxi's toiletries next to the bathtub.

When she was taking a bath, Lin Ruoxi would always pretend to pass by and take a look inside, which made her feel very uncomfortable, but she got used to it over time. Now she also wanted to let Lin Ruoxi experience the discomfort of being naked and stared at.

Just like she had been busy in the kitchen for a long time just now, she realized how difficult it was for Lin Ruoxi in her daily life.

"Take off your clothes." Gu Muxue said coldly.

"Oh." Lin Ruoxi took off her clothes without hesitation and stood under the shower head. She wanted to finish her shower as soon as possible and find a way to find Xue Rui...

"You... don't you feel uncomfortable when I'm looking at you?" Gu Muxue looked confused. Lin Ruoxi's reaction was too indifferent.

"Well, aren't there more people in the big bathhouse?" Lin Ruoxi asked with her head tilted. Xue Rui had taken her to a bathing center, and there were more girls there.

Gu Muxue pouted and pointed to the bathtub in the corner: "Go take a bath there."

She didn't know why, but she thought that with Lin Ruoxi's figure, she would definitely be surrounded by a group of girls...

She suddenly felt uncomfortable for a moment.

Lin Ruoxi shook her head: "The bathtub wastes too much water. It's enough for a dozen showers."

Gu Muxue's face instantly turned red with anger: "Are you saying that I'm wasteful?"

“No, that’s not what I meant.” Lin Ruoxi waved her hands and explained, “I’ll use it after you wash it.”

Gu Muxue's eyes flashed with panic. Could it be that after she took a bath every day, Lin Ruoxi used the water she used to take a bath?
This shouldn't happen. How could someone...

No, it seems like something Lin Ruoxi would do.

"You! Do that every day?" Gu Muxue looked incredulous.

"You soak in the water every day... The water is very clean, it would be a waste to just leave it there. Can't I use it?" Lin Ruoxi said in a low voice.

Gu Muxue sighed deeply, turned her face to the side, and took off her clothes sparsely: "Let's take a bath together, this is a double bathtub."

After saying that, she took the initiative to lie down in the water, buried half of her face in the water, and kept blowing out bubbles, pretending that she didn't care.

After Lin Ruoxi lay down in the bathtub, she looked at Gu Muxue sideways, causing Gu Muxue to bury her face deeper.

Lin Ruoxi stretched out her hand and hugged Gu Muxue upwards: "Lying down will put pressure on the heart. Didn't you just say that the medicine has side effects?"

Gu Muxue was stiff all over. Lin Ruoxi always had no sense of boundaries...

Lin Ruoxi picked up the shower gel, rubbed it on her hands a few times, blew a big bubble on the water, and then smiled with her almond-shaped eyes.

She also only recently discovered that she can play with bubbles while taking a bath.

"I want to buy a big bathtub for Xue Rui so we can take a bath together." Lin Ruoxi smiled happily when she thought of this.

"No!" Gu Muxue said subconsciously. Lin Ruoxi was startled, and she asked in a low voice: "You...didn't you say you forgave me?"

Gu Muxue pouted: "You were beaten, and I forgave you. I didn't say anything about him."

In fact, she was not so angry anymore since she beat the little bear. With Lin Ruoxi's company during this period, she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.

She suddenly felt that this kind of life was actually pretty good...

Xue Rui will listen to her, and Lin Ruoxi will stay with her.

"I miss him. I want to go back and see him." Lin Ruoxi's voice choked with sobs, and her eyes instantly turned red.

She didn't know how to make Gu Muxue forgive Xue Rui, but her heart was really confused and she really wanted to lie in Xue Rui's arms and take a nap.

Gu Muxue panicked for a moment. Lin Ruoxi usually looked so strong, as if everything was under control, with her study, work and life arranged in an orderly manner...

But when Xue Rui is mentioned, she suddenly turns into a clingy and helpless little girl.

"Is he that good? Is he worthy of you doing this..." Gu Muxue asked in a low voice.

"Very good, very good. He is the best person in the world. Otherwise, why do you always secretly look through the previous chat records? Don't you think so?" Lin Ruoxi said to Gu Muxue.

"I...I didn't, I was just bringing up old things." Gu Muxue didn't dare to look Lin Ruoxi in the eye.

While Xue Rui likes her, there is also a girl named Lin Ruoxi by his side, who has such a deep love for Xue Rui.

If she and Xue Rui were in different places, could she reject Lin Ruoxi?
The answer is obvious, she can't.

But is this right?
She didn't know, but what she knew was that she didn't want to chase Lin Ruoxi away now.

Speaking of which, her emotions fluctuated greatly today, but she no longer had the confused feeling of a walking corpse like in the past, as if she had come back to life.

It seems...she is getting better.

Lin Ruoxi stayed with her to help her get out of depression. If she recovered, she would leave...

Lin Ruoxi left, but where is she going?

Go back to school and take classes with roommates? Or live alone?

Or return to Xue Rui?
No matter which one it is, it is difficult for Gu Muxue to make a choice.

She just wants to get on with her life now.

"I'm sorry, Lin Ruoxi, I don't know how to choose now. Let me be greedy for a while longer." Gu Muxue said in her heart.

Lin Ruoxi found that Gu Muxue's body was sliding into the water again, so she put her arms behind Gu Muxue to help her lie more steadily.

Gu Muxue quietly leaned into Lin Ruoxi's arms, and gently rested her shoulder on Lin Ruoxi's shoulder...

Lin Ruoxi’s hugs were always so warm and selfless. She felt no psychological burden when she lay in one of them. Lin Ruoxi never asked her what was wrong.

Just like now, the two of them were hugging each other in the bathtub for no apparent reason, and Lin Ruoxi did not raise any doubts.

Gu Muxue secretly glanced at the dazed Lin Ruoxi, her peach blossom eyes slightly raised. She liked this feeling of tranquility very much.

Lin Ruoxi stared at the ceiling and fell into deep thought: "Well, do you think there is a three-person bathtub for sale?"

Gu Muxue covered Lin Ruoxi's mouth with a "snap" sound, her face flushed. How could Lin Ruoxi ask such an embarrassing question so calmly?

……

After taking a shower, they blow-dried each other's hair.

Gu Muxue touched Lin Ruoxi's smooth black hair, and suddenly she had many thoughts. She used to often look for Lin Ruoxi's hair on Xue Rui. She never thought that one day, she would take the initiative to blow dry the owner of the hair...

Fate loves to play tricks on people. How did she end up like this?
It’s all Xue Rui’s fault, and it’s also thanks to Xue Rui…

"It's time to go to bed." Lin Ruoxi said and closed the door.

She had secretly made up her mind. After Gu Muxue fell asleep, she would drive away secretly and go to sleep with Xue Rui. She would drive back before dawn so that Gu Muxue would not find out...

Gu Muxue looked at Lin Ruoxi's closed door, her lips slightly parted as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself. There was something wrong with Lin Ruoxi today.

Shouldn't I usually stay in her room for a while before going to bed?

She sighed and went back to her room.

She looked at the time on her phone. Every night around midnight, Lin Ruoxi would sneak into her room to check if she had kicked off the quilt...

In fact, she was awake every day and would fall asleep only after Lin Ruoxi left. The reason was simple: Lin Ruoxi would occasionally whisper something to her while she was sleeping.

Although most of them were apologies and pleadings for Xue Rui, she had gotten used to it.

Time passed minute by minute, and when it was almost twelve o'clock, she heard the sound of Lin Ruoxi's door opening.

Gu Muxue closed her eyes and waited for Lin Ruoxi to open her door.

However, after waiting for a long time, she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.

Lin Ruoxi is leaving?
She ran to the living room barefoot and found Lin Ruoxi neatly dressed, holding a shoulder bag in her hand, and half of her body was already standing outside the door.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night?" Gu Muxue asked coldly.

"I'll be back tomorrow morning. I... I miss him." Lin Ruoxi didn't dare to look directly into Gu Muxue's eyes.

Gu Muxue suddenly felt a sour feeling in her heart. Lin Ruoxi always belonged to Xue Rui, and no one could change that.

"Come back. Who wouldn't be worried if you run around so late at night?" Gu Muxue said coldly.

Lin Ruoxi shrank her neck: "I drive very well, you know."

Gu Muxue thought for a moment: "Won't Xue Rui blame you?"

After saying this, Gu Muxue discovered that Lin Ruoxi's expression had indeed changed...

Gu Muxue sighed: "I'll let you go tomorrow, now come back and sleep."

"Thank you! I will prepare the dishes for you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." A glimmer of joy flashed in Lin Ruoxi's eyes. Gu Muxue let her go.

Just bear with it for one more night...

"I can do it myself, you go to sleep."

Gu Muxue curled her lips. Lin Ruoxi said "tomorrow and the day after tomorrow". Does that mean she plans to stay with Xue Rui for the whole weekend?

Lin Ruoxi turned back to the door of her room, only to hear Gu Muxue speak again from behind: "Sleep with me, otherwise I won't know if you run away in the middle of the night."

"Hmm..." Lin Ruoxi was like a child who had made a mistake. She didn't dare to look an adult in the eye. She lowered her head and walked into Gu Muxue's room and lay down obediently.

Gu Muxue turned off the lights and lay on the bed with Lin Ruoxi back to back.

Lin Ruoxi's words just now made her a little angry, but when she saw Lin Ruoxi trying to "escape" just now, she felt panicked and at a loss...

She turned around and looked at Lin Ruoxi's back in the faint moonlight outside the window. She quietly hugged her and bit Lin Ruoxi's neck.

She wanted to keep Lin Ruoxi by her side so that Xue Rui could be anxious, but Lin Ruoxi couldn't hold it in and even cried secretly...

Lin Ruoxi's body was stiff. She didn't know what mistake she had made. Gu Muxue bit her neck and she didn't dare to move at all.

However, she suddenly remembered what Xue Rui said, that when Gu Muxue was willing to bite her, that was when she truly began to trust her...

She slowly turned around and asked softly, "Can I call you Mu Xue?"

Gu Muxue closed her eyes and said calmly, "Okay."

"I don't want Xue Rui to get beaten, so can you beat me again? And you can forgive him..." Lin Ruoxi said weakly.

Gu Muxue opened her eyes and looked at Lin Ruoxi. She suddenly thought it was fun to tease Lin Ruoxi: "When did I say I forgave you? You took my things, I won't forgive you."

"Please..." Lin Ruoxi said with a pout. Gu Muxue changed her face immediately, even though she had said before that she forgave her.

"Unless you return it to me." Gu Muxue said as she moved closer, her breath mixing with Lin Ruoxi's.

"I can give you half, but... I can't give you all of it." Lin Ruoxi bit her lips tightly. She would never agree to this.

"You didn't even ask what it was?"

"But...it's okay to split it in half." Gu Muxue said in a low voice.

"What?" Lin Ruoxi asked curiously.

Gu Muxue saw Lin Ruoxi's shadow reflected in her eyes. She slowly closed her eyes and leaned forward: "Xiao Rui's first kiss."

"Well!"

Lin Ruoxi's eyes widened instantly, and her pupils trembled violently... (End of this chapter)
