Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

After Gu Muxue came back to her senses, she pinched a strawberry and bit off half of it, then raised the remaining half of the strawberry and slowly put it towards Xue Rui's mouth: "I don't like the latter part either."

Xue Rui thought that the girl had quite a trick up her sleeve, so he could just stuff it into his mouth. The forward shaking movement was so big, it was obviously performed for Lin Ruoxi to see.

As expected, Lin Ruoxi came over and ate the half strawberry that belonged to Xue Rui.

"It's not good to be picky about food." Lin Ruoxi muttered softly.

"Why didn't you say anything about him being picky about food?" Gu Muxue asked in surprise. Wasn't she doing the same thing as Xue Rui?

Lin Ruoxi argued: "When he was a child, he never ate strawberry tips. Aunt Ren ate the tips and Rui ate the buttocks. It is reasonable for him to eat more strawberry tips now."

Xue Rui shook his head repeatedly: "The routine is too complicated."

The tricks of both of them are too deep. Gu Muxue wants to eat the same strawberry as Lin Ruoxi, and uses a little trick to trick Lin Ruoxi into eating it.

Lin Ruoxi, on the other hand, would find all kinds of excuses to justify his bad habits.

Gu Muxue curled her lips, thinking that Xue Rui would definitely expose him, so she might as well ask herself.

"Ruoxi, that was the strawberry I ate just now... on top..." Gu Muxue's voice became smaller and smaller.

"There's saliva on it, don't you mind?" Xue Rui added the second half of the sentence nonchalantly.

Some things are not very important. If you really want to call them true, it's like the two of them kissed indirectly...

However, Xue Rui was still very tolerant. He didn't care even if Gu Muxue kissed Lin Ruoxi in person. It was just an excuse for him to ask Gu Muxue for interest.

After saying this, Xue Rui and Gu Muxue both stared at Lin Ruoxi's reaction.

Lin Ruoxi bit her lip and fell into thought. After a long time, she whispered, "Xue Rui will kiss you, I...I don't mind."

Gu Muxue's eyes widened as she listened, while Xue Rui's mouth twitched imperceptibly.

Lin Ruoxi's words silenced the two of them.

Gu Muxue's original intention was to see Lin Ruoxi's attitude towards her, to see if there was anything else besides guilt, but Lin Ruoxi's answer seemed to be disgust, and she was forced to accept it only because of Xue Rui.

Gu Muxue was in a mess. She lowered her head and walked towards the bathroom: "Take a shower and go to bed."

Xue Rui hurriedly jogged a few steps to catch up.

Gu Muxue turned back suddenly: "Why are you following me?"

"Didn't you just call me?"

Gu Muxue shouted at Lin Ruoxi: "I'm calling Ruoxi."

"Well, I can't take a bath today."

Lin Ruoxi's voice came from the living room.

Xue Rui pointed at his chest and said, "It's her loss if she doesn't go. I work 365 days a year. The double bathtub wastes too much water. For the sake of fresh water resources for all mankind, I decided..."

"So you decided not to take a shower." Gu Muxue smiled and pushed Xue Rui out.

The door slammed shut and Xue Rui returned to the sofa feeling a little lost.

"Rui, when it's convenient, I'll accompany you." Lin Ruoxi comforted.

"No problem." Xue Rui said with a smile.

It’s not that Gu Muxue is arrogant, but the most intimate behavior between the two of them is kissing. When it comes to various things in life, Gu Muxue will be very sensitive and vigilant.

As for Lin Ruoxi, it was completely the opposite. What kind of request of his would Lin Ruoxi refuse?
The answer is not to refuse anything, no matter how "perverted" it may seem in Gu Muxue's mouth.

Xiaobu in the living room walked with his head held high and chest puffed out, then slowly jumped onto the sofa. When passing by Xue Rui, he hesitated for a moment, then lay obediently on Xue Rui's thighs, tilted his little head high and whimpered at Xue Rui a few times.

Xue Rui touched Xiaobu's head and said, "You are the exact opposite of your master. Go back and teach her how to act like a spoiled child."

Suddenly, the furry feeling in Xue Rui's hand disappeared. He looked up and saw Lin Ruoxi holding Xiaobu's neck and throwing him to the ground casually, as if she didn't care whether Xiaobu would get hurt or not.

Xue Rui smiled dumbly. Lin Ruoxi's attitude towards people and animals is completely different. If this was Lin Ruoxi's cat, it would probably have been beaten the moment it jumped onto the sofa...

"If you touch me, it will lose its hair." Lin Ruoxi curled up and lay down gently, putting her head on Xue Rui's knees.

"Are you jealous of Xiaobu?" Xue Rui joked.

"No, I just don't understand. Aren't cats meant to catch mice? Why can cats sit on the sofa?" Lin Ruoxi said in a low voice.

Xue Rui was speechless. Lin Ruoxi came from the countryside and still viewed animals as tools. The only one she had feelings for was Da Huang, the boy who grew up with the little girl.

Even so, Dahuang was not qualified to enter the house in the village. After moving into the city, he no longer had a yard, so he was very careful in everything he did and never bit any furniture. He was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.

In fact, behind her sensible appearance, there must be Lin Ruoxi’s strict education.

"Do you know how expensive Xiaobu is?" Xue Rui asked in a low voice.

Lin Ruoxi blinked and asked, "Well, how expensive?"

Xue Rui pinched Lin Ruoxi's cheek: "Emmm, it's worth tens of thousands of rhubarbs."

He didn't know the exact price, but Ragdoll cats these days were definitely not cheap, especially ones of Ragdoll's quality.

"Wow! It's so expensive, more expensive than mine." Lin Ruoxi said in surprise.

"Haha." Xue Rui was amused by the little girl. He suddenly remembered that when he took cash to Lin Ruoxi's home to help the poor, the little girl thought she was signing a contract to sell herself.

Xue Rui kissed Lin Ruoxi on the forehead: "You are priceless, how can it compare to you?"

"Hmm!" Lin Ruoxi hugged Xue Rui's waist tightly and rubbed Xue Rui's belly...

Xue Rui praised her again.

After a while, Lin Ruoxi got up and found Xiaobu. She grabbed Xiaobu and looked him up and down, as if she wanted to see what was different about such an expensive cat.

At this time, Gu Muxue had just come out of the bathroom, wrapped tightly with a headscarf on her head.

Xue Rui took out the hair dryer he had prepared in advance: "Mu Xue, let me blow your hair."

There was a hair dryer in the bathroom, but he hid it.

Gu Muxue ignored Xue Rui and looked at Lin Ruoxi with some curiosity. It was the first time she saw Lin Ruoxi take the initiative to play with Xiaobu. She smiled and asked, "Ruoxi, do you like Xiaobu too?"

Lin Ruoxi shook her head and let go of Xiaobu, letting him play in the living room:
"I just want to know why it's so expensive? Cats in the village are usually free, and they only cost five yuan each at the market."

Gu Muxue was also shocked by Lin Ruoxi's words. She had never seen a cat that cost five dollars.

"Ruoxi, then take me to see the five-dollar cat next time." Gu Muxue said with a smile.

In the past, Lin Ruoxi was just a classmate from a poor family in her memory, but now she was suddenly very curious about Lin Ruoxi's previous growing environment.

Lin Ruoxi was stunned for a moment. Would Gu Muxue be interested in the things sold at the rural fair?

Seeing that Lin Ruoxi seemed unwilling, Gu Muxue reached out and gently pushed Xue Rui.

As long as it was Xue Rui's request, Lin Ruoxi would never refuse.

"I want to see it too." Xue Rui said hurriedly.

"Well, then let's go home during the winter vacation..." Lin Ruoxi's voice suddenly became louder, her eyes fixed on Xiaobu's figure, and she rushed over quickly.

Xue Rui and Gu Muxue looked in the direction Lin Ruoxi was going. Xiaobu was playing with a water cup on the coffee table with his tail up. The cup was half full of water and was shaking back and forth because of Xiaobu's paws. It was heartbreaking to see.

With a "clang", the cup of water fell onto the coffee table, and it happened to fall towards Lin Ruoxi's laptop.

Even though Lin Ruoxi's reaction was fast enough, water was still dripping from the computer in her hand...

Gu Muxue's heart was hanging in the air. She had never seen Lin Ruoxi so nervous before. But today's incident was caused by Xiaobu, and as Xiaobu's owner, she was of course the first person responsible.

"I'm sorry, Ruoxi. I'll buy you a new one." Gu Muxue bowed her head and apologized.

Lin Ruoxi pouted: "I can fix it."

"Xiaobu, your value has increased again."

Xue Rui held Xiaobu in his arms. He was afraid that Lin Ruoxi would "educate" Xiaobu, which would lead to unnecessary arguments. As long as Xiaobu stayed in his arms, he would not be beaten.

Besides, it’s not a big deal if the computer is soaked in water. Lin Ruoxi has backups of important files, so at most only recent files will be lost.

Gu Muxue walked up to Xue Rui and patted Xiaobu's head a few times: "Who told you to run around?"

Xue Rui hurriedly held Xiaobu in his arms: "Mu Xue, it's just a child."

"Children need to be corrected from an early age."

While cooperating with Xue Rui in acting, Gu Muxue watched Lin Ruoxi's reaction, trying to make Lin Ruoxi happier.

But Lin Ruoxi was in no mood to watch the two perform. She wanted to rescue the computer as soon as possible, and at this moment she was carrying a toolbox into the bedroom...

Gu Muxue and Xue Rui looked at each other and followed him into Lin Ruoxi's room.

"Ruoxi, don't repair it. I'll buy you a new one." Gu Muxue said weakly.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Gu Muxue apologized again and again beside Lin Ruoxi. Even if Lin Ruoxi scolded her angrily, the sight of her doing nothing but doing things made her nervous.

School starts tomorrow. Lin Ruoxi and Xue Rui have a house near the University of Posts and Telecommunications. He agreed to live with her just to accommodate her. She suddenly became afraid that Lin Ruoxi would take Xue Rui and never come back.

Xue Rui had a smile on his face. He knew that Lin Ruoxi would not be angry. She was now more concerned about the damage inside the computer.

The water stains on the circuit board were obvious. Lin Ruoxi tested the hard drive immediately, and then her eyes slightly raised.

Xue Rui knew from Lin Ruoxi's reaction that the information was saved, and the little girl was not in such a bad mood.

"Xixi, it's already past nine o'clock. You must be busy repairing the computer until very late, right?" Xue Rui asked.

"Well, I'll be quick..."

Lin Ruoxi suddenly felt Xue Rui pinching her waist. What did Xue Rui mean?

"I...I will be busy until very late?" Lin Ruoxi said uncertainly.

Gu Muxue's expression became increasingly ugly. She guessed that Lin Ruoxi herself might not be sure when she would finish the repair. It seemed that the problem was very troublesome.

"So... you can't turn off the lights? I can't sleep without turning off the lights." Xue Rui said and yawned.

"Correct."

Lin Ruoxi shuddered. Xue Rui said that he was sleepy and kept her busy until very late. Did he want to stay at Gu Muxue's place?
Lin Ruoxi said seriously: "Well, then you and Mu Xue can sleep together."

Since Xue Rui wants to go over, it's okay for her to sleep alone.

Xue Rui shouted "Nice!" in his heart. After all, the little girl understood him.

Now Gu Muxue had no reason to refuse, and feeling guilty, she would definitely not chase him out tonight.

"Okay." Gu Muxue nodded decisively.

Lin Ruoxi's words put her mind at ease, indicating that Lin Ruoxi had no intention of staying away from her, and was even willing to give her half of her boyfriend.

"You...you are not allowed to let him sleep on the floor." Lin Ruoxi turned and threatened Gu Muxue, but her tone was still soft and there was no threat at all.

The last time she found Xue Rui in Gu Muxue's room, Xue Rui was lying alone on the floor under the bed.

Gu Muxue knew everything Xue Rui wanted, but she just wouldn't give it to him.

Gu Muxue said helplessly: "Okay, let him sleep on the bed."

But she suddenly felt that something was wrong. Is Lin Ruoxi very generous?

No, Lin Ruoxi was very stingy when it came to Xue Rui's affairs. She spent almost all of her free time sticking around Xue Rui. When she passed by the two of them, Lin Ruoxi would even look at her warily.

Although Xue Rui always wanted to enter her room, Lin Ruoxi's door was always open.

Now that Lin Ruoxi has taken the initiative to let her live with Xue Rui, it seems that Xue Rui is behind this.

No, no, who instructed Xiaobu?
"Go to bed early." Gu Muxue said softly.

"Yeah." Lin Ruoxi thought of Gu Muxue's unhappy expression, as if she felt guilty?

But Gu Muxue is a patient, and she can't let Gu Muxue be unhappy.

Lin Ruoxi smiled slightly, she held Gu Muxue's hand and said: "It doesn't matter if the computer is broken, your mood is more important, you should be happier."

Gu Muxue felt warm at heart when she heard this. Lin Ruoxi was always so gentle, and her worries were unnecessary from the beginning.

Xue Rui winked at Lin Ruoxi: "Let's go, don't worry about me."

Lin Ruoxi has a habit of lying against the wall, and was caught by him once. Will the little girl be eavesdropping outside the door tonight?

Xue Rui guessed that there was a high probability that it would happen.

Lin Ruoxi said with a guilty conscience: "I...I can't hear anything when I'm working. I don't know what you are doing."

Gu Muxue: “…”

Xue Rui's mouth twitched, Xixi, you are too deliberate!
"Xiao Ruizi, let's go." Gu Muxue suddenly felt very tired. She was too weak to walk out of Lin Ruoxi's room and let Xue Rui follow her into the bedroom.

"Mu Xue, this is Xixi's request."

After Xue Rui entered the room, he quickly locked the door, and his meaning was obvious.

Gu Muxue's breathing became rapid. Only now did she realize what Lin Ruoxi's request she had agreed to.

Lin Ruoxi is not a naive child. What she said just now was not simply asking Xue Rui to find a place to sleep, but asking her to give everything to Xue Rui.

On the surface, Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi have a better relationship, but Gu Muxue knows that it is only because the last barrier between Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi has been broken, and their body language is more intimate.

But she never thought about competing with Lin Ruoxi, and felt that everything was good now.

As for being with Xue Rui...she had made the decision long ago, but there had never been a suitable opportunity, or perhaps she was not mentally prepared.

"Go take a shower." Gu Muxue said in a low voice.

She didn't know when she would be ready, but Xue Rui wanted it now, and Lin Ruoxi also wanted her to give it.

She had a veto power, but in her heart, she had already lost.

Anyway...it's something that's bound to happen sooner or later.

"Ah?" Xue Rui widened his eyes in surprise.

He just wanted to take the opportunity to shorten the distance between them so as to slowly wear down Gu Muxue's vigilance.

But Gu Muxue's obedience was beyond his expectations. Xue Rui felt that there was something fishy going on and that he might be locked up after he entered.

"No, you just told me not to take a shower." Xue Rui said with a smile.

Gu Muxue buried her hot face in Xue Rui's arms. She wanted to take a bite of Xue Rui, but suddenly she smelled the familiar fragrance on Lin Ruoxi. It was the smell of cheap laundry soap. The smell was very simple, but with a hint of elegance that she could not reach.

"If you don't want to wash it, then don't wash it."

Lin Ruoxi and Xue Rui stayed together for a whole day, and Xue Rui was full of Lin Ruoxi's scent. (End of this chapter)
