Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

"Then if you share half of your smart brain with me, maybe I can surpass Einstein." Xue Rui joked.

Lin Ruoxi whispered: “Well, I can’t give you this.”

"Xiao Lin, you said it but you don't give it to me. Are you just making empty promises to your boss?" Xue Rui said with a straight face.

Lin Ruoxi shook her head and explained: "I...what I meant just now was to give myself to you, so that everything will be yours."

Xue Rui smiled with satisfaction. The little girl's answer was simply impeccable. He patted the little girl's head and said, "Let's go, my external brain."

"Yes!" Lin Ruoxi smiled sweetly and opened the car door for Xue Rui: "Boss, get in the car."

Xue Rui hummed a little tune along the way. He was in a particularly good mood today. He and Gu Muxue reconciled yesterday, and today the three of them were even able to go out for dinner together.

Although he still doesn't understand why everything is going so smoothly, he always feels that it is inseparable from Lin Ruoxi.

According to the location sent by Gu Muxue, Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi came to Chang'an Restaurant.

When he got off the car, he glanced towards the door and found that the girl was already waving at him at the hotel entrance.

Walking closer, Xue Rui discovered that Gu Muxue was also very beautiful today. She was wearing a black knitted dress and a beige tie tied into a beautiful bow on her chest, which made her already petite body look even smaller.

"Why are you wearing black?" Xue Rui asked with a smile.

In his impression, Gu Muxue hardly ever wore any black clothes, and she even wore a white down jacket even in the winter.

Gu Muxue's eyes lit up when she saw Xue Rui's outfit. She rarely saw Xue Rui so formal. The last time he wore a shirt was after he had been caught in the rain, and then he changed into her father's shirt.

Gu Muxue twisted her face and pretended to be angry: "I haven't asked you yet, who are you going to meet dressed like this?"

"Shouldn't you dress more formally when meeting your parents?" Xue Rui said in a low voice.

"Asshole, what are you talking about?" Gu Muxue looked around and secretly pinched Xue Rui's waist.

Now the relationship between her and Xue Rui had to change. If Xue Rui was injured, Lin Ruoxi would be sad...

"Xiao Rui, you look very stylish today." Zhao Lizhen did not hide her satisfaction. She raised her hand and patted Xue Rui on the shoulder: "You look really strong."

Gu Qingshan glanced at Xue Rui and said unhappily: "Change your skin and look like a human."

He was standing not far away just now, and Xue Rui actually whispered to his daughter in front of him. He felt very uncomfortable...

“Hello, Uncle Gu.” Xue Rui greeted him with a smile, pretending not to have heard what Gu Qingshan had just said.

Then he clasped his arms, looked back and forth between Gu Muxue and Zhao Lizhen, shook his head and sighed repeatedly.

"What are you looking at?" Zhao Lizhen asked with a smile.

"Aunt Zhao, I saw you from a distance. You and Mu Xue stood together like sisters. I almost didn't recognize you." Xue Rui said shamelessly.

At this time, a deep laugh sounded from behind Xue Rui: "Haha, whose kid is so sweet? You've said what I wanted to say. What am I going to say next?"

Xue Rui looked back and saw a middle-aged man in his forties, followed by a man and a woman.

“Old Guo, it’s been many years since we last met.” Gu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Sorry I'm late. I'll drink three cups as punishment later." The middle-aged man said with a wry smile and invited a few people to go into the restaurant.

"I'm here at the wrong time. Your company is the busiest during holidays. Have a cigarette before you go in." Gu Qingshan handed the man a cigarette and shouted to Gu Muxue:
"Mu Xue, this is your uncle Guo Wei. He used to come to our house during the Chinese New Year. Do you remember him?"

Gu Muxue was stunned. She had no impression of this person. It was not until Xue Rui pushed her that she hurriedly called out, "Hello, Uncle Guo."

Guo Wei smiled and said, "Mu Xue is this old now? You were still young back then, so it's normal that you don't remember me."

After saying that, he called the young man behind him over: "Old Gu, this is my son Guo Ziyan..."

……

After meeting Gu Muxue's parents, Guo Ziyan took advantage of the time when his parents were greeting each other and walked up to Gu Muxue and extended his hand:
"Hello, my name is Guo Ziyan, and I'm a sophomore."

Xue Rui took a look at the person who came. Judging from his appearance, he was about the same age as them, except that he was a little fatter and dressed a little older.

However, Xue Rui had to admit that Guo Ziyan was very confident. It should be because his family was well-off and his parents had a high social status. Otherwise, boys of his age would usually keep a distance of at least one meter when seeing a girl with Gu Muxue's temperament.

"Hello, Gu Muxue, freshman." Gu Muxue stretched out her hand absentmindedly. She was looking for where Lin Ruoxi had gone.

However, Xue Rui held Guo Ziyan's hand before Gu Muxue.

Guo Ziyan frowned, what he wanted to touch was not a man's hand.

Xue Rui had noticed early on that this boy had glanced at the girl, so he wanted to reveal his identity. He smiled and said, "Xue Rui, Mu Xue's..."

At this time, the eyes of several people fell on Xue Rui, and Gu Qingshan said lightly: "Xue Rui is the child of my friend's family. Young people have a lot of topics to talk about."

Xue Rui turned around and smiled at Gu Qingshan and the others without further explanation.

Gu Qingshan actually casually mentioned his identity as the "future son-in-law" as if he was just a random playmate. This made Xue Rui very dissatisfied, but he did not continue.

After all, Gu Muxue is only a freshman in college, and it’s possible that Gu Qingshan is concerned about his daughter’s “premature love”.

At this time, Gu Muxue looked around and asked, "It's almost time for dinner, where's Ruoxi?"

Without waiting for Xue Rui to answer, Gu Muxue said to herself: "Oh, I saw it."

As she spoke, she rushed towards Lin Ruoxi. Today, Lin Ruoxi was no longer wearing a simple white shirt and jeans. Instead, she had changed into a slim-fitting suit, which made her eyes light up. She couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Gu Muxue raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and walked forward to hold Lin Ruoxi's arm.

Lin Ruoxi looked dazed, but she didn't think there was anything wrong. Many girls who were close to each other walked hand in hand...

But Lin Ruoxi has never had such a friend.

She thought about it seriously. She was Xue Rui's girlfriend, and Gu Muxue was also Xue Rui's girlfriend. Gu Muxue had said that their relationship was "more than friends", so it should be normal for them to hold hands, right?
So, she also gently put her arm around Gu Muxue's wrist to express her friendship.

"Ruoxi, you look so beautiful today." Gu Muxue smiled sweetly.

"You are very beautiful too." Lin Ruoxi praised back softly.

Gu Muxue shook her head: "You are prettier and look much more mature than me."

Lin Ruoxi blinked her eyes: "Well, you are cuter than me."

"Ruoxi, you have a great figure."

"Well, Mu Xue's eyelashes are long..."

……

Guo Ziyan stared at the two beauties holding hands, while Xue Rui covered his face with his hands.

Xue Rui's heart was like a thousand horses galloping, he couldn't figure out the situation!
Why are these two people praising each other in business?
If it was just a sarcastic remark, he could still mediate, but to be honest, this was the first time he had seen these two people sincerely praising their love rival...

"Look, brother, here comes another pair of long legs." Guo Ziyan said in a low voice.

"Yeah, I saw it." Xue Rui said.

Xue Rui was afraid that Gu Muxue and Lin Ruoxi would continue to give in and would insist on competing for first or second place. Then he would not be able to be the "referee".

If he answers: Equally beautiful.

Lin Ruoxi wouldn't be angry, but Gu Muxue couldn't be sure...

Even if Lin Ruoxi praised Gu Muxue for her beauty, she wouldn't be angry, but would Gu Muxue be happy?

Why did he vaguely feel that Gu Muxue would still be angry?

"Hiss~" Xue Rui took a breath of cold air. This question is a bit confusing. It's harder than the last math question in the college entrance examination!

Lin Ruoxi’s eyes were fixed on Xue Rui’s back, wondering why Xue Rui didn’t turn around to look at them?
Guo Ziyan glanced at Xue Rui roughly. He had seen this kind of evasive gaze many times. Most of them were because of poor family conditions and lack of confidence when facing beautiful women.

The two beauties seemed to be looking at him. The corners of his mouth could not help but rise. He naturally pulled up his belt, and the key chain on his waist made a crisp clinking sound.

This is an area he is familiar with. Not only do students often look at the Audi car keys on his waist, but many teachers will also take a second look at them.

He took out a pack of hard Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Xue Rui: "Brother, don't feel inferior. Not everyone can be as eye-catching as me. Only a few people can drive an A6 at this age."

Xue Rui was stunned for a moment. He had such a big beer belly, his shirt was tucked into his belt, his purse was tucked under his elbow, and there was a bunch of keys hanging around his waist...

At the age of less than 20, he has lived like a 30- or 40-year-old.
Attracting attention probably has nothing to do with the car you drive. Not many college students can dress like this.

"Thank you, I don't smoke." Xue Rui shook his head and pushed the cigarette back.

"What are you pretending to be? Isn't the shape of your pocket a cigarette box?"

Guo Ziyan thought that the cigarettes Xue Rui brought were probably not good ones. When he saw Xue Rui holding a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, he felt embarrassed and simply said that he didn't smoke.

"Here's a box of Zhonghua cigarettes for you. Take it and smoke it while you eat. I have more in my bag." After Guo Ziyan lit a cigarette for himself, he generously stuffed the cigarette box into Xue Rui's hand.

Xue Rui's brows twitched as he held the cigarette box. How much content had this kid imagined? Why was he unable to keep up?
However, he noticed that the other party had the attitude of a superior and must be a habitual pretender.

"It's not convenient to smoke because there are people here." Xue Rui glanced in the direction of Gu Muxue and Lin Ruoxi, and returned the cigarette to Guo Ziyan.

Guo Ziyan didn't answer. A wisp of smoke came out of his nostrils. He patted Xue Rui on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you are still young. Women don't hate men who smoke, but men who smoke cheap cigarettes."

"And I think they don't care whether you smoke or not." Guo Ziyan added in his heart.

Xue Rui paused and said, "You are right."

He had to admit that what Guo Ziyan said made a lot of sense, but it didn't apply to him.

However, seeing that the other party looked like he had succeeded in his teaching, Xue Rui felt that any further explanation would be useless, so he simply chose to prove it with action.

"Brother, can you lend me a light?" Xue Rui took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

"That's right." Guo Ziyan smiled and handed over a Zippo lighter.

The lighter made a crisp sound with a "ding~" sound. Xue Rui returned the lighter after lighting it: "The fire is good, but I have to put it away quickly."

Guo Ziyan nodded. He agreed with this. He had experienced this situation countless times.

At the same time, Gu Muxue and Lin Ruoxi's discussion came to an abrupt end, and they walked towards Xue Rui at the same time.

Guo Ziyan looked confused. What was going on?

Coming for him?

He wiped his hands on his pants with a little excitement, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out, then stretched out his hand and said happily: "Beauty, let me meet you..."

However, the two men passed by him without any intention of stopping, leaving only his round palm suspended in the air.

Gu Muxue glared at Xue Rui fiercely, and without explanation, she pulled the cigarette out of Xue Rui's mouth, threw it on the ground, stomped on it a few times, and said angrily: "Xiao Rui, who allowed you to smoke?"

"Hiss! Mu Xue, tear off a piece of my lip skin." Xue Rui said, covering his mouth.

Gu Qingshan sneered: “You deserve it.”

"Hahaha!" Guo Wei is also an old smoker. When he heard that a piece of Xue Rui's lip skin was torn off, he couldn't help laughing:
"Old Gu, Mu Xue is really straightforward. What is the relationship between them?"

Gu Qingshan smiled bitterly and shook his head, which was equivalent to a silent answer.

Guo Wei patted Gu Qingshan on the shoulder, took another look at his dazed fat son, nodded with satisfaction, and thought that it was better to raise a son, no matter how outstanding a daughter was, she still had to get married.

“Ah~” Gu Qingshan sighed and became determined to find a live-in son-in-law.

……

"Boss, are you okay? Does it hurt?" Lin Ruoxi subconsciously moved forward to take a closer look, but Xue Rui shook his head and pushed her away.

"Hmm." Lin Ruoxi remembered that she had a mission today...

"Hand it over. I haven't settled the score with you for leaving a pile of cigarette butts all over the floor at school last time." Gu Muxue said coldly, placing her hand with her palm facing up in front of Xue Rui.

Xue Rui winked at Guo Ziyan, meaning: Do you believe it now?

"Here." Xue Rui said as he handed Guo Ziyan's cigarette to Gu Muxue.

After taking the cigarette box, Gu Muxue instantly crushed it into a ball and threw it into the trash can nearby.

Guo Ziyan's mouth twitched in pain.

He suddenly understood what Xue Rui meant by "put it away quickly", otherwise his lighter would probably be thrown into the trash can too...

Gu Muxue poked Xue Rui's nose and threatened him viciously: "If you dare to smoke again, I will..."

"So what?" Xue Rui asked with a smile.

Lin Ruoxi came over curiously: "Mu Xue, what are you going to do?"

Gu Muxue whispered in Lin Ruoxi's ear: "We are in the same team at this time. You have to cooperate with me, otherwise he won't listen."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lin Ruoxi nodded obediently. She felt that what Gu Muxue said made sense. Xue Rui cared a lot about Gu Muxue's opinion, and this could be used to help Xue Rui quit many bad habits.

Gu Muxue pulled Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi away and whispered, "If you smoke again, Ruoxi and I will ignore you."

Before Xue Rui could answer, Lin Ruoxi waved her hands and retorted: "Boss, I won't ignore you."

Gu Muxue looked at Lin Ruoxi in disbelief, her eyes wide open: "Ruoxi, we just discussed this."

Why did you suddenly turn against us?

Xue Rui held back his laughter. The little girl wanted to "form cliques", but the little girl would always stand on his side.

Guo Ziyan also saw that Gu Muxue and Xue Rui were probably boyfriend and girlfriend, otherwise he wouldn't have been so lenient;

As for the tall beauty calling Xue Rui "boss", he still hadn't figured it out;
Xue Rui is just a college student, how can he be a boss?

And in terms of temperament, he is more like a boss.

Guo Ziyan originally thought that in today's dinner, he and Xue Rui had similar positions, and he was trying to suppress Xue Rui...

But in the current situation, he seems like an insignificant outsider.

"Kids, come in and eat and chat. The private room is ready." Guo Wei waved to them.

"Coming." Gu Muxue responded sweetly.

Xue Rui and Gu Muxue walked side by side, Lin Ruoxi followed behind Xue Rui. The character she was going to cosplay today was a female secretary.

"Xiao Rui, what does cigarette smell like?" Gu Muxue asked curiously.

"Bitter and astringent?" Xue Rui replied.

Guo Ziyan was lost in thought. Before he could figure out what the taste was, he suddenly saw Xue Rui and Gu Muxue interlocking their fingers. He subconsciously smacked his lips twice...

It's really bitter and astringent.

Well, it's still a little sour. (End of this chapter)
