Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

"Well, I'll go to the hospital in a few days."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

When the elevator door opened again, the lights in the corridor were already on, and a little girl of five or six years old was standing in front of his door, constantly banging on it.

"Sister, is anyone home?" the little girl asked in a childish voice.

"Wang!"

Xue Rui walked over and touched the little girl's head, and said with a dark face: "Yuanyuan, why are you here to eat and drink for free again?"

"My mother is working the night shift again." The little girl jumped up excitedly.

"Okay." Xue Rui smiled.

The little girl next door, Liu Yuanyuan, has a father who is a long-distance driver. He has only seen her once or twice since they moved in. Her mother is a factory worker and she would leave the little girl alone at home when she worked the night shift. Xue Rui was used to this.

Generally speaking, a little girl of this age would be afraid to sleep alone, but Liu Yuanyuan is not like that at all. She even hopes that her mother will work the night shift so that no one will watch her watching TV.

The little girl comes to his place to eat snacks and watch cartoons. When she feels sleepy, she goes home to sleep by herself, no later than nine o'clock. This does not affect his normal life and makes the house more lively.

"Uncle, I didn't come here empty-handed." The little girl's eyes widened and she patted her bulging schoolbag.

"I don't believe it. Let me check it." Xue Rui unzipped his schoolbag without saying a word.

Instant noodles, spicy noodles, small jellies, and unknown sugar water in plastic bags...

A bag filled with various snacks priced by the dime brought Xue Rui's memories back to his childhood.

"How much pocket money does your mother give you every day?" Xue Rui asked with a smile.

"One dollar." Liu Yuanyuan sniffed.

Xue Rui did a rough calculation and found that this pile of snacks would cost four or five yuan based on the prices he remembered. Liu Yuanyuan must have saved for a long time.

Liu Yuanyuan's snot kept dripping down, and every time it was about to fall out, she would suck it back hard. The more Xue Rui watched, the more uncomfortable he felt. He pulled out a workbook from his schoolbag, tore off a piece of paper, and wiped Liu Yuanyuan's nose.

"Sister, he tore up my homework." The little girl said with tears in her eyes.

Xue Rui felt his scalp tingling, and he hurriedly whispered, "Yuanyuan, it's torn off. Go to school tomorrow and explain it to the teacher. The teacher won't blame you."

"Really?" Liu Yuanyuan's eyes sparkled with innocence.

Xue Rui felt a prick in his heart, but still said, "Really, kindergarten teachers like honest children the most."

The premise is that the reason must be convincing.

My neighbor forced me to open my school bag and tear off my homework...

Which teacher would believe that?

Lin Ruoxi corrected him: "Yuanyuan, you should call Xue Rui brother."

"Okay, Brother Xue Rui." Liu Yuanyuan called obediently.

Xue Rui smiled. He didn't care about this issue, but Lin Ruoxi took it seriously.

"Come in." Lin Ruoxi opened the door.

The moment Dahuang showed his head, Liu Yuanyuan slipped behind Xue Rui as if escaping, looking at Dahuang with a vigilant look.

"Stop pulling, your pants are pulled off." Xue Rui sighed and bent down to pick up the girl.

As a result, when Xue Rui entered the room, he heard a loud bang above his head...

Xue Rui was stunned for a moment. How could he not know what was happening?
He lifted Liu Yuanyuan too high and her head hit the door frame...

In an instant, Xue Rui heard a shrill cry, which made him dizzy.

Lin Ruoxi put the things down, took the little girl from Xue Rui's arms, and whispered, "Don't cry, sister will get you some ice cream to apply, okay?"

"Then... I want strawberry flavor."

Liu Yuanyuan pouted, and her head didn't hurt as much when she heard about ice cream.

Xue Rui breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the girl was a greedy girl and could be appeased by a box of ice cream.

He walked into the living room, sat down on the sofa, and threw the remote control to Liu Yuanyuan as an apology.

Lin Ruoxi brushed her hands over Xue Rui's neck until Xue Rui looked up at her. She lowered her head and gave him a light kiss: "Rui, watch TV with Yuanyuan for a while. I'll go cook."

Xue Rui took a look at the content on the screen. Boonie Bears?
He chose to play with his phone.

"Uncle, why did my sister kiss you?" There was sweet ice cream on Liu Yuanyuan's lips.

Xue Rui turned his head slowly, and suddenly remembered when he was a child watching TV with his family...

Whenever there is a kissing scene on the screen, the atmosphere suddenly becomes tense, as if it is some kind of taboo.

Liu Yuanyuan was watching the live broadcast...

"Go back and ask your mother about this question." Xue Rui naturally threw the responsibility back.

"I asked my mother, and she said kissing will lead to the birth of a baby." Liu Yuanyuan's eyes kept scanning Lin Ruoxi.

Xue Rui felt complicated. It was really difficult to explain to a child of this age.

So he chose to change the subject: "Have you had dinner?"

"Well, I managed to get by with it in kindergarten." Liu Yuanyuan sat obediently on the sofa, not moving.

"That means she didn't eat. She'll have another meal later." Xue Rui thought what a niche word. Perhaps her parents didn't have the energy to take care of her. Liu Yuanyuan was much more independent than other children of the same age.

"So when will sister give birth to the baby?" Liu Yuanyuan asked.

Faced with the curious baby's constant questioning, Xue Rui directly passed the buck: "You can ask your sister this question."

"That's right, my brother can't have children." Liu Yuanyuan suddenly realized.

"Huh?" Xue Rui always felt like he was being scolded, but he had no evidence.

It wasn’t until I listened to an episode of Boonie Bears that I heard Lin Ruoxi’s call:
"Rui, it's time to eat. Mu Xue said she's already eaten."

"Okay." Xue Rui jumped up from the sofa, and Liu Yuanyuan also ran to the dining table with her short legs.

Suddenly, the door was opened, and Gu Muxue smiled and waved at Liu Yuanyuan: "Hello, Yuanyuan."

"Hello, Sister Mu Xue." Liu Yuanyuan shouted loudly.

"Well, Muxue, do you want to eat something more?" Lin Ruoxi stood up to serve Gu Muxue some rice.

Gu Muxue shook her head slightly: "You guys eat."

She sat on the sofa, glancing towards the dining table from time to time.

Lin Ruoxi's eyes were full of tenderness as she picked up food for Xue Rui and Liu Yuanyuan, while Da Huang kept hovering under their feet.

Even though there was just one more child, the scene suddenly became extra cozy, and even the light above the dining table became warmer.

Somehow, she suddenly realized that she seemed like an out-of-place outsider.

She picked up the book on the coffee table, but after reading a few lines she was attracted by the laughter at the dining table.

So she picked up the remote control and changed the programs out of boredom.

Suddenly, Liu Yuanyuan at the dining table called out, "Sister, can you turn the music back to the children's channel? I'm listening."

Gu Muxue paused: "Okay."

It was just a humble request from the little girl next door, but it made her feel so lonely that it reached its peak.

She has been living with Lin Ruoxi for a long time, and according to the agreement, it is time for her to go back to her place.

But Lin Ruoxi and Xue Rui didn't mention it. Did she want to go back alone?
Xue Rui sat on the main seat, his eyes fixed in the direction of Gu Muxue. He couldn't see the girl's face clearly, but he always felt that Gu Muxue's back looked lonely at this moment.

He walked over with the bowl in his hand and sat down next to Gu Muxue.

Gu Muxue murmured and turned her head. When she found out who the person was, her nose suddenly felt sore for some reason.

She was touched, but still turned away and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

"Children are so scary. I can't answer so many questions. Let Xixi solve them." Xue Rui sighed. Gu Muxue laughed. She hugged Xue Rui's face and pecked him lightly. She began to talk about the interesting things that happened in school today and where she took Professor Ma to eat.

Although the content was obviously meaningless, she just wanted to keep talking and tell it to Xue Rui.

"Use your laptop to watch TV. Today's TV belongs to Liu Yuanyuan." Xue Rui said, pointing at the computer on the coffee table.

"Okay, what do you want to watch?" Gu Muxue squeezed closer to Xue Rui and turned the screen towards Xue Rui.

"Any drama that can be played while eating is fine." Xue Rui said.

When watching TV while eating, the content is not the most important thing. The main thing is that there is no atmosphere without TV.

"With rice?"

Gu Muxue tilted her head and thought for a long time, then played the popular TV series "Midnight Diner" for Xue Rui.

Halfway through the episode, Xue Rui had already emptied the bowl. Lin Ruoxi quietly took the bowl away and used her iPad to coax Liu Yuanyuan to the dining table to play games. She left some time for the two of them to be alone.

Xue Rui and Gu Muxue also adjusted their sitting positions slightly. Xue Rui held the girl in his arms and placed the computer on his lap.

As the ending song sounded, Gu Muxue reached out to click on the next episode. She wanted to stay with Xue Rui for a while longer.

However, Xue Rui grabbed her hand.

"Listen to the ending song." Xue Rui murmured.

He was so familiar with the melody of this song, as if it brought him back to the summer of 2018.

got windy?
Was this song written so early?
"You like this song too?" Gu Muxue's eyes lit up.

"We stopped and walked along the way..." Just when Xue Rui was about to hum along, he suddenly realized that the lyrics were not the original ones.

That’s right, isn’t this a Japanese drama…

"Xiao Rui, you're out of tune." Gu Muxue said with a smile.

Xue Rui shook his head: "No."

He just hadn't heard the original.

"You're still being stubborn." Gu Muxue pinched Xue Rui's mouth, preventing him from humming any further.

"I don't like his lyrics." Xue Rui argued.

"I like the melody, but not the lyrics." Gu Muxue said with a pout, because this is a love song called "Jealous".

He was glad that Xue Rui couldn't understand Japanese, otherwise she would have made fun of this again.

What is Xue Rui thinking at this moment?
He decided that if he had the chance he could write new lyrics, and it would be best if he could buy the copyright of the song and give it to the girl, so that she could pretend that it was written by him.

When it comes to cover songs, isn't it the case that whoever buys it first gets it?

At this time, Liu Yuanyuan ran to Xue Rui holding the iPad and said, "Brother, I can't unlock it."

After Xue Rui entered the password for Liu Yuanyuan, Liu Yuanyuan asked Gu Muxue, "Sister, when will you give birth to your baby?"

Gu Muxue's eyes suddenly widened, full of disbelief.

"Don't talk nonsense." Xue Rui's face was dark, thinking, could it be that Lin Ruoxi was also trying to pass on the blame?

"I didn't say anything nonsense. I just saw Sister Mu Xue kiss you..."

Xue Rui threatened: "If you ask again, I won't let you play."

"Oh, then I won't ask anymore." Liu Yuanyuan pouted, took out two bags of spicy strips from her schoolbag, and gave one bag to each of them.

Gu Muxue blushed and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Rui, don't you like children?"

She still liked him very much, but she couldn't understand Xue Rui's reaction.

If you like it, why do you always have a stern face?
If you don’t like it, why do you always bring Liu Yuanyuan in to play?
"I like it." Xue Rui chuckled, thinking back to the days when he bullied little girls when he was little.

She is pretty and cute, like a doll, and most importantly, easy to bully. She is nothing like Liu Yuanyuan, a country kid who eats spicy strips and has a runny nose.

As for Lin Ruoxi, although Xue Rui had never seen the little girl's childhood, just thinking about her made him feel pity for her.

She can wash clothes and cook at a very young age, and is very well-behaved.

"So do you like boys or girls?" Gu Muxue took the opportunity to ask.

"It must be a girl." Xue Rui answered without hesitation. Didn't he know what kind of person he was when he was a child?

If he could go back to his childhood, he would want to beat himself up.

"Boys are good, just a little naughty." Gu Muxue said in a low voice.

She thought Xue Rui was quite cute when he was little, except that he liked to bully her...

Xue Rui looked at the delicate appearance of the little girl, and he suddenly came to his senses!
The little girl is not asking about other people’s children, but her own?
"I actually prefer boys." Xue Rui changed his tone.

Gu Muxue frowned: "How did you change so quickly?"

"Think about it, boys can protect their mothers and help you with all kinds of heavy work..." Xue Rui kept instilling the advantages of boys.

In fact, he likes girls more in his heart, but he hates it so much that his teeth itch when he thinks that one day in the future, his daughter will be taken away by some yellow-haired boy on the street.

"Uncle Xue's educational method is wrong. Boys should also be spoiled." Gu Muxue scolded.

Xue Rui joked: "Mu Xue, you are a good mother."

"Asshole, what are you talking about?" Gu Muxue's face flushed. She also realized that the topic she was discussing was too inappropriate. She and Xue Rui had just kissed, so why were they discussing children now?

Xue Rui put his face close to Gu Muxue's ear and said, "Wait until I send Liu Yuanyuan back, then we can continue discussing the child."

Gu Muxue's ears were gently tapped by Xue Rui's breathing. Her mind went blank and she felt like she had no strength in her body and her heart was beating wildly.

"Yuanyuan, it's already 20 p.m., you should go home and go to bed." Xue Rui picked up Liu Yuanyuan without saying a word and took out the key from her schoolbag.

"What time is 20 o'clock?" Liu Yuanyuan asked.

Xue Rui didn't have a pointer clock at home, so she couldn't tell the time on TV.

"20 is nine o'clock." Xue Rui lied with his eyes open.

"Why does time go by so quickly when playing games?" Liu Yuanyuan looked disappointed and did not doubt Xue Rui's words at all.

"I advise you to write your homework again to deepen your impression." Xue Rui advised.

"If you don't write it, I will complain to the teacher and say that you tore up my homework." Liu Yuanyuan grumbled.

"Then go ahead and file a complaint." Xue Rui threw Liu Yuanyuan into the room.

"Brother, you are lying! It's only eight o'clock now."

Liu Yuanyuan's angry voice came from the room. Xue Rui pressed the door tightly to prevent Liu Yuanyuan from coming out:

"Yuanyuan, remember this: you can't open the door to strangers."

Only after Liu Yuanyuan gave up resistance did Xue Rui go home with peace of mind.

However, the girl took the opportunity to sneak back into her room and locked the door.

It’s over, retribution came too quickly.

He locked Liu Yuanyuan inside the door, and the girl also locked him outside.

Xue Rui knocked on the door: "Little White Rabbit, open the door quickly, I am the Big Bad Wolf."

Gu Muxue's cheerful laughter came from inside the door: "Then I can't open it anymore."

Suddenly, Xue Rui's phone rang. It was a work-related call. He pressed the answer button helplessly:

"Mr. Xue, you didn't reply to my message this afternoon. A game company wants to promote it on all platforms. Please approve it. The person in charge over there is urging me again."

Xue Rui asked: "What game company? Isn't it another gambling game?"

All promotions on all platforms must go through his hands, and he has to screen them personally to prevent college students from being deceived.

"That company is called miHoYo, so it shouldn't be gambling." (End of this chapter)
