Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

After Gu Muxue kicked Xue Rui, she noticed from the corner of her eye that Lin Ruoxi's body trembled.

In order to avoid an argument with Lin Ruoxi, she picked up a book from the coffee table and flipped through the pages absentmindedly.

In short...she is right today and will not apologize to Xue Rui.

"It's over, the little devil has the upper hand." Xue Rui sat cross-legged on the floor, spread his hands with a playful smile, and signaled with his eyes that Lin Ruoxi didn't need to come over.

Lin Ruoxi glanced at Gu Muxue secretly and put the box of flowers on the coffee table.

This is how Xue Rui and Gu Muxue get along. She is used to the occasional fights and quarrels, and Xue Rui says that he never suffers any loss.

Lin Ruoxi didn’t know where Xue Rui hadn’t suffered any loss, but judging from Gu Muxue’s usual performance as if she had suffered a loss, Xue Rui had indeed not suffered any loss.

Grandma also said something similar. Lin Ruoxi smiled sweetly at Xue Rui: "I'll go back to my room and call grandma."

Lin Ruoxi knew that Gu Muxue really wanted to play with Xue Rui, but her presence made Gu Muxue feel restrained.

Walking to the bedroom door, she kicked the dog that was stuck to her leg away, then sat at the table and made a video call to her grandmother.

The prompt tone sounded a few times, and the screen flashed twice, revealing the old lady's aged face.

"Xixi, how is your study in school?" The old lady's voice was a little hoarse.

"Well, very good." Lin Ruoxi's eyes were wandering, she didn't go to school at all.

But grandma doesn't know.

"Are you on good terms with your classmates? I see your dormitory is quite bright." The old lady couldn't help but laugh when she noticed that there were several bunk beds behind Lin Ruoxi.

Well, the girl has grown up and become sensible. She knows to keep a distance from Xue Rui without her telling her.

"Grandma...my classmates all like me very much." Lin Ruoxi felt very guilty, and what she said was half true and half false.

It was true that her classmates had a good relationship with her, but it was false that she was not in the dormitory at all and just used the video plug-in made for Xue Rui.

Xue Rui asked her to use it, saying that it could make the old lady feel better.

"Xixi, why is there no one in your dormitory? Let me talk to your classmates." The old lady continued to ask. She vaguely felt that her granddaughter was hiding something from her.

"Ah? She...they."

Lin Ruoxi was not good at lying, and the old lady's request made her feel overwhelmed.

"Did that bastard Xue Rui ask you to lie to me?" the old lady asked sternly.

“No…” Lin Ruoxi waved her hands repeatedly, thinking that her grandma always said that she was uneducated, but her grandma was not stupid at all.

Her plug-in could fool Gu Muxue's father, but it failed to fool her grandmother.

In fact, in Mrs. Wang's mind, Xue Rui has always been a sneaky and cunning type. She didn't know that the video could be faked, but she instinctively suspected Xue Rui.

Lin Ruoxi bit her lip and put her phone on the table: "Grandma, wait for me, I'll go call my roommate."

Lin Ruoxi tiptoed to the living room and found Xue Rui sitting cross-legged on the floor petting the cat, with one hand holding Dahuang's mouth.

"Dahuang, why didn't you turn off the gas yourself when you found it? Say something." Xue Rui asked.

Gu Muxue was unpacking dried fish for Da Huang to eat. She tapped Xue Rui with the packaging bag and said, "Loosen your paw, dog. How can you say that if you don't loosen it?"

Xue Rui was about to open his mouth to tease the little girl when Lin Ruoxi's voice suddenly came to his ears:

"Mu Xue, I...I beg you for a favor..."

Xue Rui and Gu Muxue turned their heads and were both stunned.

Lin Ruoxi has never asked anyone for help.

"Okay." Gu Muxue nodded without thinking.

Lin Ruoxi showed a happy smile. She crossed the sofa and grabbed Gu Muxue's arm: "Go to my room."

Xue Rui followed curiously. A little girl asked a little girl to do something for her? The sun really rose from the west.

However, when he followed to the door, Lin Ruoxi hurriedly made a gesture to him to be quiet and closed the door with a smile.

Gu Muxue was quite surprised, but she was very happy that Xue Rui could suffer a little loss.

"Get out." Gu Muxue locked the door with a smile.

Xue Rui chuckled, then walked to the balcony of the living room and found a stool to sit down.

Gu Muxue liked to make phone calls on the balcony. He could hear everything clearly while lying in Lin Ruoxi's room, so he could also hear what the two of them were doing in the room from this position.

In the room, Lin Ruoxi moved a stool for Gu Muxue, and the two sat neatly in front of the table. Lin Ruoxi took a deep breath and turned on the screen of her mobile phone: "Grandma, this is my roommate."

Lin Ruoxi felt that there was no need to explain more to Gu Muxue, as Gu Muxue was very smart.

In an instant, Gu Muxue's peach blossom eyes widened. Did Lin Ruoxi call her over to deceive her family?
Because Xue Rui had used the same method to deceive her father before.

"Hello, grandma." Gu Muxue reacted quickly and smiled sweetly at the camera of the mobile phone.

"Okay, okay, @#%#..."

Gu Muxue was confused, as she couldn't understand Lin Ruoxi's grandmother's dialect.

"Well, she praised you for being beautiful." Lin Ruoxi acted as a translator.

The old lady smiled as brightly as a flower. She was now sure that her granddaughter was not with Xue Rui.

After chatting for a few words, Lin Ruoxi pulled Gu Muxue's hand under the table.

Gu Muxue had a dazed expression. She didn't understand what Lin Ruoxi wanted her to do, so she took Lin Ruoxi's hand.

Lin Ruoxi's fingers were very slender, much longer than hers, and felt slippery when held.

Lin Ruoxi found that Gu Muxue didn't understand what she meant and was still playing with her hands. She didn't force it and continued to talk to her grandmother on the phone.

Gu Muxue spread out Lin Ruoxi's palm and placed her palm against Lin Ruoxi's palm for comparison. Lin Ruoxi's hand was half a knuckle longer than hers.

Suddenly, she found that Lin Ruoxi was holding her hand tightly, and she immediately turned her attention back to the screen.

The old lady on the other end of the phone chatted with Gu Muxue in poor and stiff Mandarin mixed with a lot of dialect from time to time.

When Gu Muxue understood, she would reply with a few words, and when she didn’t understand, she would just smile politely.

Gu Muxue thought this was a great opportunity to learn the Hedong dialect. As long as Xue Rui could understand the Hedong dialect, he would not be able to whisper with Lin Ruoxi in front of her.

She has lived in the urban area for many years. Even if she meets uncles and aunts who speak dialect, as long as she opens her mouth to answer in Mandarin, the other party will always subconsciously switch to Mandarin. In fact, she has heard many of the words, but just doesn't understand what they mean.

Now that Grandma Lin Ruoxi communicates with her in a "half local, half foreign" dialect, the dialect system in Gu Muxue's mind has gradually become more complete.

"Xixi, where is Xue Rui?" asked the old lady.

"Well, he is also in school." Lin Ruoxi said, holding Gu Muxue's hand.

Gu Muxue immediately pricked up her ears and listened. She really wanted to know what the attitude of Lin Ruoxi's only relative was towards Xue Rui.

"Don't believe his lies every day. You can't just do whatever he asks you to do. Girls should know how to be reserved. You can't agree to everything before marriage. It's too embarrassing." The old lady reminded again.

Gu Muxue thought about it for a long time, and she barely understood what the old lady said. She pursed her lips, feeling that the old lady was not only talking about Lin Ruoxi, but also about herself.

Lin Ruoxi didn't dare to look at the screen. She whispered, "I...I just want to listen to him."

The old lady slapped her thigh in anger and said, "What a loser! What will you do if he brings another woman home?"

Lin Ruoxi pursed her lips and glanced at Gu Muxue weakly. She felt that it was nothing...

Gu Muxue has always given in to her and there has never been a conflict of interest.

Perhaps, only Gu Muxue can do it.

"Um...I..." Lin Ruoxi hesitated for a long time.

"What do you want to say by whining? Have some ambition. Tell him that if he dares to mess with other women, you can use scissors to sterilize him and let him stay with Dahuang..." The old lady chattered on.

At this time, Xue Rui angrily slammed the railing. He really wanted to rush in and scold the old lady!
What the hell is that? It's so scary! She is indeed a famous shrew in the area.

As for the reasons why Lin Ruoxi's grandfather died young, he had roughly guessed some of them.

What a miserable old man.

A gust of autumn wind blew by and penetrated into the trouser legs of his shorts.

"Hiss~ It's a bit cold." Xue Rui looked around, then lifted Xiaobu's neck and covered his legs with it.

……

"Grandma, I...I want to go to bed!" Lin Ruoxi was very unhappy because her grandma kept saying bad things about Xue Rui.

“Really wings…”

With a "dong" sound, Lin Ruoxi pressed the hang-up button. She didn't want to listen anymore.

Gu Muxue frowned. The old lady's speech became faster and faster, and she had great difficulty listening. She couldn't even comprehend what she was saying.

But judging from her tone and expression, Lin Ruoxi seemed very angry.

"What are you arguing about?" Gu Muxue asked in a low voice.

"Well, nothing." Lin Ruoxi said softly. She wouldn't be angry. This was her grandma's usual personality.

"Why lie to grandma? She...she knows everything, right?" Gu Muxue said in a low voice.

"Because Xue Rui said it was a white lie, and grandma would be happier." Lin Ruoxi answered truthfully.

Today, ever since grandma answered the phone, the wrinkles on her face have deepened a little as she smiled.

Too bad it ended up in a quarrel.

However, Lin Ruoxi didn't think it was Xue Rui's fault, but that grandma was asking too much.

After the call was hung up, there was no other sound in the room, and Lin Ruoxi did not let go of Gu Muxue's hand.

Gu Muxue looked down at their tightly clasped hands and asked weakly, "Ruoxi, why?"

Lin Ruoxi blinked blankly. She didn't understand what Gu Muxue was saying.

"Why...hold my hand." Gu Muxue's voice became smaller and smaller.

"No, Mu Xue, listen to my explanation." Lin Ruoxi quickly let go.

Gu Muxue smiled silently. Perhaps she was too sensitive. Lin Ruoxi always treated her as a friend.

Moreover, he is a very special friend.

"Because you were comparing the size of your hands just now, I heard from the villagers that it is not good to compare hands between relatives and friends, so I held your hand." Lin Ruoxi explained to Gu Muxue very seriously.

Gu Muxue burst out laughing. It turned out that this science and engineering girl had a superstitious side.

But she likes the word "relatives and friends" very much.

"Let me check why we can't compare." Lin Ruoxi said as she searched for information on her phone. She usually only heard people say that comparing hands is not good, but they never said why it is not good.

"Well, the homonym of 'comparing hands' is 'comparing longevity', which is not good for older people, and the life span will be passed on to younger people." Lin Ruoxi suddenly realized, her eyes widened.

"Really?" Gu Muxue asked with a smile. She didn't believe it, but Lin Ruoxi's reaction was so funny.

She joked, "Well, I'm younger than you, so you're at a disadvantage. Do you want me to compensate you in some way?"

"No, I... I'm not superstitious either." Lin Ruoxi waved her hands quickly.

She felt that she owed Gu Muxue enough, and she could never learn Gu Muxue's magnanimity.

"Can I see your phone? I see you have several headphones in your room. What music do you usually listen to?"

It was a rare opportunity for Gu Muxue to chat with Lin Ruoxi alone, and she couldn't help but ask more questions. Her understanding of Lin Ruoxi was still too superficial.

"For your listening."

"Here, I'll give you one, let's listen together."

"Um, okay."

Xue Rui closed his eyes and enjoyed the breeze on the balcony. Although he couldn't see what was happening in the next room, a picture emerged in his mind:
The little girl and the little girl put their heads together and wore a pair of headphones together.

Could it be that Gu Muxue has some little thoughts behind this?

After all, there were no TWS headphones in 2014. When two people listened to the same song, they would inevitably be connected by the headphone wire.

It's a pity that technological development has broken the rules, and it is difficult for the new generation of young people to understand the romance of listening to a song together.

Xue Rui wanted to lean over and listen with the two of them, but a pair of headphones only had two...

This is so abominable, why hasn't anyone researched headphones that can be used by three people to listen together?
Suddenly, the two people next door started talking again.

"It's too troublesome. I think we should cut the headphone wire and make a split Bluetooth headset, which will be more convenient." Lin Ruoxi's soft voice came.

"Ah?" Gu Muxue's voice was filled with disbelief.

"That's more convenient." Lin Ruoxi explained.

Gu Muxue felt that she couldn't keep up with Lin Ruoxi's train of thought, so she changed the subject and said, "Xiao Rui was at my house before, and I taught him to play the piano. I plan to buy a piano and put it in that empty room for practice. Is that okay?"

At that time, I can teach Xue Rui to practice the piano, and I can also teach Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi thought for a moment and said, "Is there an electronic piano that can be played with headphones? Will the piano disturb others?"

Xue Rui: “…”

Damn it, the little girl has developed her occupational disease again. She has been chatting with him in terms of product development ideas. He is afraid that the two of them will have a disagreement and start quarreling.

This is a big taboo of having two relationships at the same time!
Xue Rui quickly walked to the door and knocked on it, then shouted to the inside: "Mu Xue, what are you doing in there? I have something to say to Xixi."

After Lin Ruoxi opened the door, Xue Rui said, "Xixi, I want to turn that empty room into a piano room with sound-absorbing materials. Mu Xue likes to practice piano."

The house that Lin Ruoxi bought was not small, but the three of them only lived in two rooms. He would definitely not choose to rent another room for his own, so they just lived in both rooms and barely made ends meet.

"Yeah!" Lin Ruoxi nodded quickly. She still hadn't thought it through carefully enough.

"Did you hear it?" Gu Muxue thought it was such a coincidence. She was just discussing this topic with Lin Ruoxi.

"What did you hear?" Xue Rui pretended not to understand at all.

"Nothing, I'm going back to read and sleep. I have the first class tomorrow morning." Gu Muxue smiled sweetly. This feeling of telepathy was so wonderful.

She stood on tiptoe, pecked Xue Rui on the face lightly, then jumped away.

When Lin Ruoxi found that Gu Muxue had left, she felt a sense of secret joy in her heart.

Every time Gu Muxue said she wanted to go to bed, she would not come out again. Now Xue Rui had her own time.

She pulled Xue Rui to sit down, poured him a glass of water, brought a basin of washed strawberries, and put the computer in front of Xue Rui: "Well, you saw this episode the other day, do you want to watch it?"

"Okay, go do your thing." Xue Rui suddenly regretted not going to the little girl. Every time Lin Ruoxi made arrangements for him, it meant that Lin Ruoxi had to work again.

"Well, I'm not busy." Lin Ruoxi said as she slowly held Xue Rui's hand and placed her palm on it for comparison.

"What are you doing?" Xue Rui smiled, thinking that the little girl was still superstitious.

"Well, comparing the size of hands, your hands are bigger than mine." Lin Ruoxi said softly.

"Do you know that it is unlucky to make hand gestures? Your age will shorten your lifespan, but I will prolong your lifespan." Xue Rui said.

"You...you know that too." Lin Ruoxi felt that she was caught and was very nervous.

"Boys have a short life expectancy on average. I...I want you to live longer." Lin Ruoxi explained in a low voice. (End of this chapter)
