Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

After sending Li Bin away, Xue Rui felt much better. With Lin Ruoxi's previous silly state, how could she have known the bad intentions of this "neighborhood brother"?
He turned around and found Lin Ruoxi and Gu Muxue sitting together chatting. Gu Muxue turned around and smiled at him with a playful smile on her lips.

……

"Ruoxi, Xiaorui is jealous." Gu Muxue said in a low voice.

Lin Ruoxi's eyes widened: "Why... why?"

She didn't notice.

"Just now when you were chatting with someone else, there was something wrong with his eyes." Gu Muxue's voice became a little higher, as if she was deliberately speaking to Xue Rui.

Lin Ruoxi raised her head and blinked at Xue Rui.

Xue Rui touched his nose and thought that the little girl had sharp eyes. She could even notice this...

"Well, it seems so." Lin Ruoxi pursed her lips. For some reason, when she heard that Xue Rui was jealous, she actually felt a little happy in her heart.

She bit her lip hard and felt so weird. She knew what it felt like to be jealous... She shouldn't be happy.

Gu Muxue continued to ask: "How did you and Li Bin know each other?"

"Brother Li Bin is my neighbor. He gave me his old textbooks when I was in school, so I don't have to buy new ones and can save some money." Lin Ruoxi muttered with her head down.

Gu Muxue felt a sudden stab in the heart.

Second-hand books?

It is very common in college, but it is a different matter when you are young. The malice of children is too pure.

She could even imagine Lin Ruoxi sitting alone in the corner of the classroom, holding a pile of old textbooks with an embarrassed look on her face, not daring to look up, surrounded by the mocking eyes of children.

Perhaps, Lin Ruoxi's inferiority and introversion are rooted here...

She looked at the car keys in Lin Ruoxi's hand and felt guilty.

Lin Ruoxi gave her her newly bought car and she had been using Yu Minlan's old car.

"I won't do that again." Gu Muxue smiled slightly and waved at the glass door, motioning Xue Rui to come in.

Xue Rui didn't hear clearly what the two were talking about, but he vaguely felt that the girl was making fun of him for being narrow-minded.

Lin Ruoxi moved a chair for Xue Rui and placed it between her and Gu Muxue, but Gu Muxue pulled Lin Ruoxi to her side and let her sit in the middle.

Xue Rui smiled slightly, took Lin Ruoxi's hand and sat down.

Lin Ruoxi grabbed Xue Rui's hand and said seriously, "Rui, I will talk less to Li Bin in the future and try not to talk. Don't be unhappy."

Xue Rui's throat was blocked for a moment and he didn't know how to answer.

He thought the topic was over.

Gu Muxue narrowed her eyes, put on a playful smile again, and kicked Xue Rui's foot under the table.

Xue Rui said nonchalantly: "Just say what you want to say, I'm not stopping you."

Anyway, Li Bin is not coming back this time, so there is nothing you can say.

Lin Ruoxi had a dazed expression. She felt that Xue Rui seemed unhappy, so she turned her gaze to Gu Muxue, thinking of seeking some help.

Gu Muxue is very smart, at least she reacts faster than her.

Gu Muxue exposed it mercilessly: "Xiao Rui is speaking in a sarcastic way."

"Hehe, Mu Xue, please give me some face." Xue Rui said in a low voice.

"I have sent the rest away. There are only three of us here. Who are you afraid of embarrassing yourself in front of?" Gu Muxue said with a smile.

The corner of Xue Rui's mouth twitched when he heard this. He had to admit that what Gu Muxue said made sense. How could he have the nerve to do that?

"No, that's not right." Lin Ruoxi took Xue Rui's arm and retorted, "The head of a family must have dignity."

"Xixi said it well." Xue Rui praised.

Lin Ruoxi's eyes curved, she blinked at Xue Rui and lowered her head slightly.

Xue Rui was stunned for a moment. The little girl was asking him for a "reward" again.

He reached out and gently stroked Lin Ruoxi's head. The little girl's head shook slightly, and then she buried herself deeply in his arms.

Xue Rui winked proudly at Gu Muxue. The little girl and the little girl looked at him from different angles.

Although Gu Muxue was shorter, she always looked at him at eye level, and occasionally even looked down at him.

Lin Ruoxi always looked up at him, satisfying his inner vanity.

"Ruoxi, how can you stand on his side?"

Gu Muxue pursed her lips. Just now she thought that Lin Ruoxi was on the same side as her. She didn't expect that Lin Ruoxi would turn against her so quickly.

"Where should I be?" Lin Ruoxi shrank her neck, her eyes anxiously wandering between Xue Rui and Gu Muxue.

"On my side." Gu Muxue said firmly.

Lin Ruoxi pouted. She wanted to stand on Xue Rui's side, but she was also afraid that Gu Muxue would be angry.

“Ruoxi, he has two girlfriends.

How can you enjoy privileges without taking on responsibilities and obligations?" Gu Muxue whispered in Lin Ruoxi's ear.

Xue Rui could hear it from this distance, but she just wanted to say it clearly.

At least from a moral perspective, she and Lin Ruoxi are both "victims". It's no big deal that Xue Rui suffers a little loss on the surface, but it is she and Lin Ruoxi who suffer the biggest loss.

Therefore, she believed that Lin Ruoxi deserved more preferential treatment instead of being ordered around by Xue Rui all day long.

Lin Ruoxi hesitated for a moment and motioned for Gu Muxue to put her ear closer.

Gu Muxue put her face close to him, and heard Lin Ruoxi's soft and sticky voice:

"Mu Xue, Rui already listens to you so much, I listen to him, I want to make him happier."

"Oh~" Gu Muxue sighed in her heart.

Does Xue Rui listen to her?
How many times have you pretended to obey but actually disobeyed?

That’s it, that’s it.

The three of them basked in the sun in front of the door for a while until Yu Minlan came back again, and then the group set off for the airport.

Lin Ruoxi and Gu Muxue accompanied them all the way to the security check. Xue Rui glanced sideways and saw the little girl following him closely, carrying the suitcase like a little follower.

Gu Muxue has elegant manners and even at such a young age she behaves like a lady.

The three people were talking and laughing on the road, but there was still a sense of sadness of parting.

This emotion reached its peak at the security checkpoint.

Passengers come and go near the security checkpoint, most of them are seeing off their relatives and friends.

Humans are environmental animals, and it is inevitable that they will feel reluctant to leave in such an environment.

"Mr. Xue, let me do it." Li Bin took the initiative to take Xue Rui's luggage.

He called his father last night and learned from his father that Xue Rui was very easy to talk to. In order to make it convenient for Lin Ruoxi to return to the village to burn paper, he specially donated a road to the village.

As a fellow villager of Lin Ruoxi, he naturally received special treatment.

Yes, now think about it, there are so many interns in the law firm, why did they pick me?
Because the boss surnamed Gu was also from Hedong.

He's going to seize the opportunity.

"Wait for me at a distance. I have something to say." Xue Rui sent Li Bin away.

Xue Rui felt that the atmosphere at the airport today was very good. Some people were even crying and hugging each other. Perhaps one of them was going abroad, which made him cry.

"Honey, I heard it's a mess over there, we must be careful..." The woman hugged the man reluctantly and cried.

"It's okay. There are a lot of fellow countrymen in Africa. You stay home and take good care of the children. When I come back, we will..." Xue Rui really wanted the man to shut up and stop making any more promises.

But he was too lazy to care about other people's affairs. He opened his arms wide, waiting for the two of them to get into his arms:
"I'm leaving now, don't you want a parting hug?"

Lin Ruoxi hugged Xue Rui almost without hesitation, tears welling up in her eyes uncontrollably, but she thought she could hold it back.

She is still so useless.

"Why are you crying? I'm not going to Africa." Xue Rui slowly closed his arms because Gu Muxue had no intention of getting into his arms at all.

"I will miss you." Lin Ruoxi's voice was tinged with tears.

"Yeah." Xue Rui patted Lin Ruoxi's back gently and gave Gu Muxue a helpless smile.

Lin Ruoxi hugged Xue Rui quietly for a while, and she tidied up Xue Rui's clothes: "Rui, the weather in Shanghai has been cold recently, remember to wear long johns. I brought two pairs of underwear and socks in the interlayer for you. If you don't want to wash them, just put them in the bag and bring them back..."

Xue Rui listened to Lin Ruoxi's nagging in his ear and thought to himself that he had been raised free-range since he was a child, so how could he have been treated like this?

Suddenly, he felt reluctant to leave.

"Mu Xue?" Xue Rui opened his arms with a smile, but found that Gu Muxue turned her head away and didn't speak.

Xue Rui thought so too. The appearance of two beauties at the security check had already attracted a lot of people's attention. It would seem very strange if Gu Muxue threw herself into his arms again.

"Let's go, don't miss me too much."

Xue Rui turned around and was about to go through security check when someone hugged him from behind.

"Xixi, if you continue like this, I really won't want to leave." Xue Rui said with a smile and reached out to move the hand around his waist.

Suddenly, he heard Gu Muxue's voice: "Xiao Rui, I asked Uncle Yang to go to Shanghai in advance. When you get there, don't drink too much. Remember to find him if you have any problems."

"Huh? Why do you all treat me like a child?" Xue Rui said with a smile.

Gu Muxue is like this, she looks at him calmly and doesn't like to express her emotions, but she cares about him no less than Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi pays more attention to her present life, while Gu Muxue has a broader perspective and makes longer-term preparations.

Gu Muxue said angrily: "Xiao Rui, you are only eighteen years old, how mature do you think you are?"

"Xixi is the most childish one." Xue Rui paused for a moment and said in a low voice: "Muxue, I beg you to do me a favor. Take good care of her these few days."

"Okay." Gu Muxue's voice sounded a little lost. She pinched Xue Rui's belly and reluctantly let go.

She felt a little uncomfortable. She was obviously leaving, so why was he only concerned about Lin Ruoxi?
"Muxue, that's not what I meant..." When Xue Rui turned around to explain, he only saw Gu Muxue's back.

"Hurry up, come in, there are people coming from behind." The security officer urged.

Xue Rui had no choice but to extend his arms to the security guard again.

Of course, this time it’s not about hugging…

"Handsome guy, you are so lucky to have two beauties as gifts." The security officer said casually.

"Oh, one calls me brother, and the other wants me to call him sister." Xue Rui said loudly.

The security inspector tapped it with the detector and said: "Real leather, we are a family, so why bother talking so much."

……

Gu Muxue burst out laughing. Xue Rui’s statement was quite interesting.

She quickly blinked her wet eyes and took Lin Ruoxi's hand: "Let's go, sister."

To be precise, the three of them have no blood relationship at all, they just got together because of Xue Rui.

"I want to watch for a while longer." Lin Ruoxi stood there reluctantly, a tear falling from the corner of her eye.

"Okay." Gu Muxue looked at Xue Rui in the distance, then looked at the dazed Lin Ruoxi. She took out a tissue and wiped Lin Ruoxi's face.

She suddenly understood Xue Rui and why he wanted her to take care of Lin Ruoxi.

After Xue Rui disappeared from her sight, Lin Ruoxi suddenly reacted: "Mu Xue, what...what did you call me?"

"Sister, Xue Rui just said, if you don't like me, I won't call you anymore." Gu Muxue smiled.

"Well, that's fine...that's fine too." Lin Ruoxi responded weakly and quickly glanced at Gu Muxue.

Somehow, when I heard this name, I felt a vague connection with Gu Muxue.

She and Gu Muxue don’t necessarily have to be “enemies”, perhaps they can also be relatives?

Lin Ruoxi couldn't understand this feeling, but she was indeed one year older than Gu Muxue, so it was not wrong.

"Ruoxi, do you want to go back to the company or go home?" Gu Muxue asked.

"Go home..." Lin Ruoxi hesitated for a moment: "Go home."

"Well, take your car." Gu Muxue said.

The two of them set out on their way home. The car was eerily silent. Lin Ruoxi had no intention of speaking, but she would open her phone from time to time to take a look.

Occasionally, the cell phone would ring, and Lin Ruoxi would grab the phone immediately, but each time it was a MMS from the operator.

"Drive well."

Gu Muxue confiscated Lin Ruoxi's cell phone, in return she received a pitiful look from Lin Ruoxi.

Her heart softened: "I'll read the text message he sent to you."

"Well, remember to call him when he lands." Lin Ruoxi reminded.

"What are we going to do back there?" Gu Muxue changed the subject, trying to make the atmosphere more relaxed.

She believed that if she had been alone to send Xue Rui off today, she would definitely not have cried. Today, Lin Ruoxi's emotions must have infected her.

"How about moving and living with you?" Lin Ruoxi suggested.

Gu Muxue looked surprised: "Why?"

"Because... I want to build a bathtub and a piano room so that Rui won't be disturbed when he leaves." Lin Ruoxi laughed as she spoke.

Xue Rui secretly told her that he wanted to take a bath with her, but there was no bathtub in her house.

But she vaguely felt that Xue Rui wanted to take a bath with three people together. She couldn't buy a bathtub for three people, so she decided to build a bathtub to give Xue Rui a surprise.

"Thank you." Gu Muxue said in a low voice.

She was not forgotten, and Lin Ruoxi always remembered what happened in the piano room.

Among the three of them, she was the only one who could play the piano, and she was the only one who was used to taking a bath. Lin Ruoxi was accommodating her...

"Well, you're welcome. Let's take a bath together then." Lin Ruoxi said with a smile.

"Ah."

……

When they returned home, Lin Ruoxi took out the sheets from under the bed and covered all the furniture. She then moved things downstairs one by one, and was so tired that she was sweating.

"Ruoxi, don't bring the quilt and pillow. I have them." Gu Muxue advised.

Lin Ruoxi shook her head: “Well, the quilt on your side doesn’t have his smell.”

Gu Muxue was confused. She picked up Lin Ruoxi's pillow and sniffed it, but didn't smell anything special. She looked even more confused.

"There's a little bit on your pillow too," Lin Ruoxi added.

"Is there?" Gu Muxue asked back.

She took Lin Ruoxi's pillow into the room and compared it with her own, but still couldn't smell any difference, except that the smell of the shampoo was different.

Lin Ruoxi lifted up the mattress and said in surprise:
"Mu Xue, you...you have never used it once?" (End of this chapter)
