Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Looking at the group photo on the phone wallpaper, Gu Muxue reached out and poked it hard a few times to vent her dissatisfaction.

But when she thought again, Xue Rui had never put on airs in front of her, and he was not making fun of her just now. She was just angry with herself, which was not embarrassing.

But now, there is one embarrassing thing...

That is, she called Xue Rui a "bastard" in the bathroom just now, and her parents must have heard it.

So, Gu Muxue tiptoed to open the door, stood on tiptoe and stuck her head outside the door to eavesdrop on what her parents were doing.

"Mu Xue, come here. I heard you open the door." Zhao Lizhen said with a hint of displeasure in her tone.

Gu Muxue shrank her neck and subconsciously lowered her head as she walked towards the sofa.

Whenever her mother spoke in this tone, she would usually give her a lecture.

But Gu Muxue was very confused. Did she do anything excessive?

She believes that her mother dotes on her very much and is very open-minded. She never interferes with her love affairs and only guides her.

So, Gu Muxue didn’t think it was a big deal. Just when she was about to return to her seat, her mother raised her leg to block her way.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Gu Muxue looked confused.

"Who did you quarrel with just now?" Zhao Lizhen asked, looking up, her tone tolerant of refusal.

“It must be a quarrel with Xiao Rui, nothing serious.” Gu Qingshan laughed and waved his hand to signal Gu Muxue to sit back.

Gu Muxue shook her head slightly. She felt that in the current atmosphere, it would be better to stand.

"I don't care if you quarrel with outsiders, but not with him." Zhao Lizhen raised her hand and knocked on the coffee table.

Gu Muxue paused, then raised her head abruptly, eyes full of disbelief:
"Mom! Why?"

When she and Xue Rui really had a conflict a few months ago, her mother was not like this. Today she just scolded her a few words.

Gu Muxue felt very aggrieved because her mother did not ask about the cause and effect.

"Xiao Rui spoils you too much. Look, you've been away for a few months, and you start yelling as soon as you get home." Zhao Lizhen did not hide the disappointment in her tone.

Gu Qingshan and Gu Muxue had almost the same expression. He pushed Zhao Lizhen and said, "Wife, you can scold me if you want. Who are you on?"

"That's right." Gu Muxue pouted, looking very aggrieved.

"I believe that a harmonious family brings prosperity. Do you know what kind of impact it will have on children if there are quarrels at home every day?" Zhao Lizhen said slowly.

“How old is she?” Gu Qingshan felt uncomfortable. Why did he mention the child?
Grandchildren? Maybe they are from outside.

"It doesn't matter how old you are. Habits become second nature. If you quarrel over everything, you won't be able to change once you have children. If there are conflicts, you should resolve them in a peaceful way. You can't quarrel at home, and you shouldn't treat your family as emotional trash cans..."

Gu Qingshan fell into deep thought after hearing this. He had been married for so many years and there had never been a quarrel at home, not even once.

The reason is that his wife manages the business well.

Whenever he takes his wife out, he always receives many envious looks.

Some are acquaintances and some are strangers, and each person envies different things.

But there was one that impressed him deeply.

That is, when I take a walk at night, I often see men parking their cars near their homes to smoke, with a melancholy and helpless look on their faces, and they look down at the time from time to time...

He passed by his home three times without entering, as if his home was a den of dragons and tigers. He didn't know what he was avoiding.

When these people saw him walking with his family, they would always look at him at the same time, with expressions of envy and yearning.

Now that I think about it, I envy the harmonious family.

It is obvious what we are escaping from.

He had heard more than once at work that someone was complaining about his wife...

Adults can hide away, but children cannot.

"Well, your mother is right."

Gu Qingshan nodded. He didn’t mind letting Xue Rui squat downstairs, but the child was innocent.

Moreover, as a vested interest in this rule, how could he have the qualifications to object?
"Mu Xue, do you remember it?" Zhao Lizhen asked.

"I've got it." Gu Muxue nodded, thinking that her mother always thought long-term and that she still had a lot to learn.

"If Xiaorui has any problems, he should tell his elders in time and don't let himself be wronged." After Zhao Lizhen said this, she moved a seat for Gu Muxue and motioned for Gu Muxue to sit back.

"Thank you, Mom." Gu Muxue smiled and quickly got between her parents.

“How are you doing in school? Are there any male classmates chasing after you?” Gu Qingshan asked jokingly.

"How could that be? I have a boyfriend." Gu Muxue leaned on Gu Qingshan with a smile.

“My daughter is so beautiful, how could she not have a lack of suitors? When your mother was with me, there was also a group of people following her…” Gu Qingshan said proudly.

"Wasn't it the same for you back then? There was a bunch of girls following you, and I was just one of them..." Zhao Lizhen said slowly.

Gu Muxue frowned and immediately fell to the other side. She decided to stand on her mother's side today.

“Eh?” Gu Qingshan’s scalp tingled, fearing that it would bring up old scores…

He coughed twice and spoke somewhat unnaturally: "The luckiest thing in my life is marrying your mother."

"Dad, just confess your feelings if you want, why do you always put it on me?"

Gu Muxue frowned, thinking that the gap between people was too big.

Some people are so thick-skinned that they can say "I love you" to two girls at the same time;
There are also people who are so thin-skinned that even after being married for 18 years, they still have to use their children as a "transit station" to say sweet words.

"Confession?" Zhao Lizhen burst out laughing.

"My dad wants to say he loves you, but he's too shy to say it."

"Shh!"

"Did my dad tell you? When did he tell you?"

Gu Muxue lowered her voice and began to "conspire loudly" with her mother in front of Old Gu.

Gu Qingshan’s face turned red and he turned his head subconsciously.

He is a leader outside, and people are reading his every look and gesture.

At home?
No face at all!
“Ah~” Gu Qingshan sighed and couldn’t help but feel a headache.

He thought to himself that if the men counting cigarette butts downstairs knew that he had such "happy troubles", they would probably faint from anger...

"I'll go upstairs to take a shower first, so I won't be a third wheel." Gu Muxue stuck out her tongue and ran upstairs in a skipping manner.

After taking a shower, I returned to the room. Everything I saw was tidy, with a teddy bear lying between two pillows.

Gu Muxue jumped onto the bed and threw herself into the arms of the little bear, a sweet smile on her lips. Her little feet tapped the sheets lightly, playing a light melody.

After lying there for a while, she suddenly felt a little lonely.

This is the house I have lived in for many years, but at this moment I always feel like something is missing.

She felt it when she was taking a shower. Xue Rui always knocked on the door when she was taking a shower, although she never opened it...

But every time after washing, Xue Rui would blow her hair, and then she would take the opportunity to lean on Xue Rui to read and chat...

"Tsk, it's just a few days away. I don't think that much." Gu Muxue muttered to herself as she picked up a book and tried to calm herself down.

……

Half an hour later, Gu Muxue put the book back to its place. Because knowledge only entered the eyes but not the head, she always couldn't help but pick up her mobile phone to see if Xue Rui had sent her a message.

"You didn't even remember to call me." Gu Muxue supported her face and tapped the phone screen with her nails.

She felt as if she had been infected by Lin Ruoxi.

Now she always wonders, what is Xue Rui doing now?
Is the hotel environment good?
Was she like this before?
"Ding-deng-deng~"

A QQ ringtone rang, interrupting Gu Muxue's thoughts.

When she opened her phone, her eyes were full of surprise. Xue Rui actually took the initiative to call her on QQ.

She wanted to press the answer button immediately, but she held back.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven..." Gu Muxue counted slowly in her mind and waited for twenty seconds before pressing the answer button.

Because if she answered the call the moment Xue Rui dialed, wouldn't it seem like she had been waiting?

"Little White Rabbit, what are you doing?" Xue Rui asked with a smile.

"Why are you calling me so late?" Gu Muxue asked with a complaining tone.

"I miss you." Xue Rui said truthfully.

"Why not use WeChat?" Gu Muxue raised the corner of her mouth.

"Emmm, QQ is more user-friendly, WeChat is just a half-finished product. It is said that the server is connected by potatoes, otherwise why can't the chat history roam..."

Xue Rui began to disparage WeChat, and 99% of his comments were genuine.

"Xiao Rui, it was you who said QQ was childish and that adults all used WeChat."

Gu Muxue was speechless at Xue Rui's shamelessness. He could say both positive and negative things about anything.

"I work in software. From a product perspective, QQ is not childish and WeChat is not mature."

Xue Rui said truthfully.

"Then explain to me why you have two cell phones?" Gu Muxue continued to ask relentlessly.

"It's unfair, Master Gu. I called you with my iPad. I was going to call you all night..."

"Okay, okay, I'm in a good mood today and I won't make things difficult for you." Gu Muxue said with a smile.

Of course she knew that Xue Rui was in a call with Lin Ruoxi on WeChat, but the fact that Xue Rui found a way to call her as well proved that she was no less important.

Now, when she thought about Xue Rui playing two consecutive voice messages next to him and looking so flustered, she found it funny.

He really cares about us...

At the same time, on the other end of the phone.

Xue Rui was lying on the white sheets, with a mobile phone next to his left hand and a pair of headphones next to his right hand. He was wearing two pairs of headphones on his left and right ears.

Now Lin Ruoxi had no intention of speaking, so he muted the microphone temporarily.

Just as he was thinking this, the little girl's soft voice came from his left ear: "Rui, grandma is snoring in her sleep..."

Xue Rui muted Gu Muxue's phone and chatted with Lin Ruoxi for a few words. Then he heard Gu Muxue's helpless voice in his right ear again:

"Xiao Rui, aren't you tired?"

Xue Rui picked up the iPad and found that Gu Muxue had sent him a screenshot of a QQ voice call, on which there was a system prompt: [The other party's microphone is muted]

"Damn it!" Xue Rui cursed in his heart.

Is there such a feature? WeChat didn’t launch it even after 10 years! He often mutes his microphone to fool his mom about the bad signal…

QQ supported it in 2014?
QQ, you are too mature!
What he did was tacitly understood, but every time a window popped up, it inevitably made Gu Muxue feel uncomfortable.

"Mu Xue, actually..."

Xue Rui's mind was working rapidly. Just as he was thinking about how to resolve the issue, Gu Muxue spoke up:

"Xiao Rui, hang up and talk to the group. Didn't you create the group in the first place?"

"No, no, no, it's okay if I'm a little tired." Xue Rui denied repeatedly.

"I don't mind. We've lived together for so long. Why are you afraid of making a phone call?" Gu Muxue said in a calm tone.

"Well... although Xixi didn't say it, I know she is the one who cares the most." Xue Rui had no choice but to tell the truth.

Xue Rui knew very well that although Lin Ruoxi was the first to accept Gu Muxue, it was actually because the little girl loved too humbly. In fact, the little girl was very narrow-minded and not as generous as the little girl...

Although the little girl is slow most of the time, as long as she doesn't know, she will spend this period happily.

Moreover, in group voice chat, when you know that a third party is present, many things are difficult to say, and you can imagine the atmosphere.

"Don't mute it next time. It makes me uncomfortable."

Gu Muxue had no choice but to accept the fact. In her opinion, Xue Rui was already trying his best to take care of everyone's emotions, and she didn't want to put any more pressure on Xue Rui.

"Lord Gu has a good temper, and a Prime Minister has a broad mind..." Xue Rui seized this opportunity to praise him.

"Xiao Rui, I saw your expression, it's the same as Da Huang's." Gu Muxue joked. She still liked the way Xue Rui lowered his posture.

"What? There are cameras in the room? Did you ask Yang Xing to arrange them?"

Xue Rui pretended to be surprised and joked.

"Hehe, you look for it yourself. I can see it clearly anyway." Gu Muxue followed suit and joked.

Xue Rui: "I don't believe it, unless you tell me what I'm doing?"

"Well, let me think about it~" A picture suddenly flashed through Gu Muxue's mind, and she said decisively: "You must be putting your right foot on your left foot now."

"what?"

Xue Rui looked at his feet and found that they were in the same position...

He sat up straight, put on his slippers and walked around the room.

His guess was so damn accurate that he couldn't help but suspect that there really was a camera.

"Mu Xue, are you serious?" Xue Rui's heart began to beat.

His entire itinerary was arranged by Yang Xing, not by the Party B company, so it is not impossible that some tampering was done.

"Did you guess it right?" Gu Muxue smiled, feeling very happy, and her white feet kept tapping the mattress.

"Why? A woman's intuition?"

Xue Rui couldn't help but sigh that women's intuition was so accurate, just like Liang Min had a dream and was able to catch Li Ruihao being ambiguous.

"Because you always like to put your feet on the coffee table, and your right leg is always on top of your left leg..." Gu Muxue explained the source of her intuition.

Xue Rui felt warm in his heart. He listened to the rhythmic tapping sounds coming from the other end of the phone, and the image of Gu Muxue lying on the bed playing with her mobile phone emerged in his mind.

"Mu Xue, I guess you are lying on the bed with a pillow in your arms."

Xue Rui's tone was very confident. He often saw Gu Muxue lying down and reading at home. When she was in a good mood, she would swing her legs, making rhythmic clapping sounds.

Gu Muxue looked down at the little bear in her arms and said proudly, "You guessed wrong. I didn't hold the pillow."

……

The time I spend chatting with Xue Rui always goes by quickly, and before I knew it, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

Gu Muxue always felt like she had forgotten something, and whenever she wanted to say something she was always interrupted.

While Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi were chatting for a while, she remembered what it was.

"Xiao Rui, my mother told you not to quarrel with me." Gu Muxue changed the priority.

At this moment, Xue Rui's heart was full of excitement.

Auntie, who dares to quarrel with you?
"I won't argue with you. Anyway, there are no conflicts allowed in the house, and no one-sided complaints are allowed..."

Gu Muxue listed a long list, which she typed out as she spoke and sent to the [Academic Exchange Group].

"Even if I post it in the group and keep the archive, no one can violate this rule in the future." Gu Muxue said.

"Should I sign my name then?" Xue Rui said as he opened the WeChat group.

Suddenly, Lin Ruoxi’s avatar popped up in the group.

Lin Ruoxi: [Received.]

Xue Rui and Gu Muxue fell silent at the same time, and after a few seconds they laughed at the same time...

This is not a class group, why did you reply?
I don’t know if Lin Ruoxi heard Xue Rui’s laughter, but Lin Ruoxi suddenly withdrew the message.

Lin Ruoxi: [I understand.]

Gu Muxue felt helpless. The person who was least likely to quarrel was the first to sign his name. (End of this chapter)
