Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

"Mu Xue, where are you going? You haven't even finished your meal." Xue Rui said with a smile on his face.

Want to laugh at me? You're still too young.

Xue Rui turned around and touched Lin Ruoxi's head, thinking that this was the difference between a virgin and a female driver.

"I'm... sorry." Lin Ruoxi quickly stood up and apologized.

Xue Rui said he didn't hear it, which meant he wanted her to continue saying it over and over again.

She knew that it would make Gu Muxue unhappy, but she just couldn't refuse Xue Rui's request...

"You're not allowed in tonight!"

With a "bang", Gu Muxue locked the door.

After returning to the room, Gu Muxue touched her burning cheeks, feeling mixed emotions.

For some reason, she always felt that Xiao Rui and Lin Ruoxi were closer.

Maybe it's because of their further relationship?

She looked around, then tiptoed to the door to make sure it was locked. Then she quietly opened the cupboard door and pulled out a familiar box that made her blush.

It was clearly her own room and her own things, but Gu Muxue felt like a thief.

It's like... stealing someone else's boyfriend?
"No, I was here first." Gu Muxue pouted and talked to herself, constantly comforting herself psychologically.

……

"It's all my fault. Can I go and comfort her?" Lin Ruoxi asked weakly.

"Don't go. No one can comfort you."

Xue Rui deliberately put on a sad look.

"What should we do then?" Lin Ruoxi was very frightened.

Xue Rui chuckled: "Now that things have come to this, let's eat first."

Otherwise, Lin Ruoxi would be said to be naive. Just now, when Gu Muxue said "don't let him in", she was not only talking to him, but also to Lin Ruoxi.

What he meant was that he should sleep with Lin Ruoxi today.

In fact, the little girl had always been giving in to the little girl, but the little girl was completely unaware.

Lin Ruoxi appears to be more mature on the outside, but she is actually still a child at heart, and her gentleness only appears on the surface.

Gu Muxue's room is filled with dolls and stuffed animals, but she actually thinks about the long term, and her tenderness is always hidden in her cold words.

"Go take a shower after dinner." Lin Ruoxi said with a smile in her eyes.

"Why aren't you worried anymore?"

Xue Rui couldn't help but ask back, Lin Ruoxi's transformation was really too fast.

"Because Rui is the best and can always coax Mu Xue into doing good."

Lin Ruoxi said with a smile, all her previous worries gone.

"Uh..." Xue Rui was silent for a moment, then said seriously: "You are right."

After saying that, he rubbed the little girl's head and thought to himself, don't praise me too much... I don't have that ability.

"Baby?" Lin Ruoxi supported her face and looked at Xue Rui with tenderness in her eyes.

The person she had been thinking about day and night had returned, and the joy in her heart at this moment was beyond words.

Xue Rui just said "this baby". She thought the word "baby" was very good and very appropriate to her inner feelings.

Because she always couldn't help wanting to hug the boy in front of her and give him all the good things in her.

Xue Rui was stunned for a moment. This was not a good word...

The word "baby" can capture the girl's desire to be pampered, and ten years later it even became the opening line of some scumbag men...

Seeing that Xue Rui did not resist, Lin Ruoxi cleaned up the dishes and kissed Xue Rui on the forehead:
"Baby, I'll put the bowl back and take you to the bath, okay?"

Xue Rui said blankly: "Okay."

Who isn't a baby?

But these are my words!
I haven't shouted yet, and you shouted first?
Looking at Lin Ruoxi's back, Xue Rui always felt that she was a "bad girl".

This feeling was very bad and he thought it necessary to correct it.

But Xue Rui didn't say this until he turned off the lights and went to bed.

Because Lin Ruoxi asked while taking a shower:
"Rui, is there anything different about me today?"

Xue Rui was confused and wondered how could such words come out of your mouth?
Of course, the point is that he looked for a long time and didn't find anything different...

Got a hair cut?

Lost weight or gained weight?

Lin Ruoxi's face was full of anticipation, which made him feel guilty.

Lin Ruoxi's room.

After covering themselves with the quilt, Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi looked at each other face to face, with their noses almost touching. Xue Rui suddenly realized that the teardrop mole at the corner of the little girl's eye was gone?
Well, I said I would order it before. Did you order it while he was out?

"I actually noticed that you had your mole removed a long time ago, but I didn't tell you because I had more important things to do." Xue Rui said slowly.

Actually, before covering himself with the quilt, his attention was always attracted by other things.

"Yeah, baby is the smartest." Lin Ruoxi hugged Xue Rui tightly.

"Why call me baby?" Xue Rui asked back.

"I think you are very cute." Lin Ruoxi said softly.

"If you call me baby, what will you let the baby call you if you have a baby in the future?"

Xue Rui corrected seriously.

"Then...then I will also call you Xiao Rui. Xiao Rui sounds cuter." Lin Ruoxi muttered.

"Ahem, I'm not small at all."

"Hmm! That's Ruirui?"

"Xixi, why is it a reduplication?"

“Because reduplication is cuter.”

Xue Rui raised the corner of his mouth and said shamelessly:
"Dad is also a double word."

In Xue Rui's expectation, Lin Ruoxi would most likely call "Dad" cutely.

However, the reality was beyond his expectations.

Lin Ruoxi loosened her arms, her watery eyes full of confusion.

Xue Rui's heart skipped a beat. It would be fine if he didn't succeed in fooling the girl, but did he hurt the little girl?

But in his memory, the little girl had no feelings for that scumbag father...

After staring at each other for a long time, Xue Rui couldn't bear the pressure and apologized: "Xixi, I'm sorry..."

Lin Ruoxi reached out her hand to cover Xue Rui's mouth, interrupting the second half of Xue Rui's sentence. She said softly:
"When you have a baby, someone will call you daddy."

That is the life she wants most, but she doesn’t know whether it will come true in the future.

Xue Rui suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the little girl didn't care.

He changed the subject: "Xixi, your craftsmanship is getting better and better. I like today's scarf very much. Who is the remaining white one for?"

He remembered very clearly that the white scarf he received today was taken out by Lin Ruoxi from the office drawer. At that time, Lin Ruoxi was knitting one in her hands.

It should be a couple's edition?

hiss~
In this case, he would have to find a way to give one to the girl, otherwise it would feel like he was isolating her.

The most important part of having the best of both worlds is to keep things fair.

"That one is for Mu Xuezhi. She took care of me when I had a fever. I wanted to take care of her when she was sick, but I felt it was not right, so I decided to give her a scarf..."

Lin Ruoxi told the whole story.

"So the one you knit for yourself is also white?"

Xue Rui felt that this was most likely the case. A family should be neat and tidy. The little girl was really thoughtful.

"I didn't knit it for myself. I don't like to wear it." Lin Ruoxi shook her head.

"Why?" Xue Rui was a little surprised. In his memory, Lin Ruoxi wore a scarf.

"Because my grandma always asked me to wear it, but once I put the scarf on, I couldn't take it off..." Lin Ruoxi explained.

Xue Rui was speechless, he felt this deeply.

I never wore a scarf before, and the cold wind in the north wasn’t that cold.

Until - Lin Ruoxi gave him one.

Then he discovered that the scarf in winter was like an "external organ". Once he took off the scarf, the cold wind would penetrate into the clothes through the gaps, making his neck feel uncomfortable as if it were being pricked by needles.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. "Xixi, why do you say one thing and do another?" Xue Rui said with a smile.

"I..." Lin Ruoxi was confused.

Faced with Xue Rui's questioning, Lin Ruoxi didn't know how to defend herself.

She first gave a scarf as a gift, and then talked about the disadvantages of the scarf, so Xue Rui began to ask himself.

She just wanted to keep Xue Rui warmer.

Lin Ruoxi slowly stretched her hand out from under the quilt, quietly turned off the light, and slowly squeezed into the quilt.

Xue Rui felt the person in his arms, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. This was the little girl's unique way of escaping.

……

Two more days passed and it was Christmas Day.

Xue Rui skipped class and returned to Gu Muxue's house early because he had ordered a Christmas tree in advance and wanted the workers to move it into the building.

"Boss, where should I put it?"

"Open the balcony, slowly." Xue Rui gave instructions from the side.

Of course, after all, it is just an ornamental pine tree with no leaves on top, and is far from being a Christmas tree.

His goal was to make the house more lively and let Gu Muxue and Lin Ruoxi participate in decorating the Christmas tree.

Gu Muxue attends classes during the day and comes back at night to check reports and watch the news with him.

Lin Ruoxi was at work all day, occasionally taking time out to come to his dormitory to play games with him, and picking him up at the school gate in the evening.

The two people's lives have less and less intersection, limited to some household chores that they handle together.

This was not a good thing for Xue Rui. If this continued, the relationship between the two would gradually become distant.
For the sake of the future, he had to do something to allow the little girl and the little girl to have more contact.

After sending the porters away, Xue Rui took a photo of the pine tree.

He originally wanted to send it to the group, but after thinking about it, he decided it would be better to give them a surprise.

Suddenly, Lin Ruoxi sent him a message:

[Rui, what do you buy a tree for? ]

Xue Rui frowned. How did the little girl find out?
He looked up and saw a surveillance camera in the corner of the balcony...

Xue Rui: [Today is Christmas, I bought a Christmas tree to add to the festive atmosphere.]

Lin Ruoxi: [Didn’t we say that we should have cultural confidence and not celebrate foreign festivals? ]

Xue Rui recalled all the lies he had made up in order to trick Lin Ruoxi into not celebrating the holiday.

Now, the boomerang hits me again.

Xue Rui: [That's what I told outsiders. I want to spend the holiday with you. Please come back early today.]

Lin Ruoxi: [Okay! I'll go back now.]

Xue Rui turned off the screen of his mobile phone and said to himself: "Mu Xue, you didn't even know that your surveillance camera was hacked."

"I gave her the surveillance password." Gu Muxue's voice came from behind Xue Rui.

Xue Rui was startled and almost threw his phone away.

He quickly put his phone behind his back and said awkwardly, "Mu Xue, don't you have classes this afternoon?"

Xue Rui turned around and found that the girl in front of him was wearing brown pajamas, with a listless look, as if she had just woken up.

Thinking back to the voice just now, it was very nasal.

"Have you caught a cold?" Xue Rui asked.

I thought that I must have woken up Gu Muxue from her sleep when I was directing the workers just now.

The bad news is that the surprise is gone.

The good news is that Gu Muxue is not in a bad mood when she wakes up.

"Well, I'm taking a leave."

Gu Muxue walked around to the balcony, looked up and down at the tree that Xue Rui bought, and bent over to open a cardboard box, which contained various decorative items and a bunch of colorful lights.

She glanced behind her, the corners of her mouth slightly raised:

"Xiao Rui, do you know the origin of Christmas?"

"I don't know, but it's good enough that I can celebrate the festival with you." Xue Rui's carefree voice came from the living room.

Xue Rui handed over a cup of hot water: "Don't stand on the balcony if you have a cold. Go back."

Gu Muxue buried her face in the cup and leaned lazily in Xue Rui's arms.

It had snowed in Chang'an for a few days. The ancient capital of thirteen dynasties looked particularly beautiful in its silver attire. She liked the snow scene very much and couldn't help wanting to look at it for a while longer, especially since Xue Rui was with her and Lin Ruoxi was not at home.

"Stay a little longer." Gu Muxue murmured.

"Okay, wait for me."

Xue Rui nodded, took two blankets from the room, returned to the balcony and wrapped the girl tightly.

"Xiao Rui, it's not that serious." Gu Muxue felt that Xue Rui was making a fuss out of nothing. Now only her two eyes were exposed.

"It's very serious. I feel sad when he gets frozen." Xue Rui said solemnly.

"Hey, there are kids making a snowman." Gu Muxue said, pointing at a snowman downstairs.

She also wanted to build a snowman with Xue Rui, but it was not a holiday recently. When she came back from get out of class, it was dark and extremely cold, so she didn't dare to say it.

Because she knew very well that Lin Ruoxi would never agree to let Xue Rui go with her to build a snowman in the sub-zero cold.

Xue Rui looked in the direction of Gu Muxue's finger, then looked down at Gu Muxue's somewhat envious eyes.

"Want to build a snowman?" Xue Rui asked with a smile.

"Hmph! Childish." Gu Muxue pursed her lips.

The two stood on the balcony for a while, until Gu Muxue's stomach growled.

Gu Muxue's cheeks turned red, and she felt a little embarrassed, so she immediately passed the buck:

"Xiao Rui, your stomach is growling."

Xue Rui pinched the little girl's face:
"Okay, I'm hungry, but I don't know what my little tummy wants to eat."

The sick Gu Muxue was particularly well-behaved and cute, allowing him to pinch her.

"Emmm...you want to eat Korean fried chicken and beer." Gu Muxue said without thinking.

"Why is there still beer?" Xue Rui exerted a little more force in his hands.

"Haven't you seen You Who Came From the Stars? This year, eating fried chicken and drinking beer on snowy days is the fashion."

Gu Muxue began to explain science to Xue Rui.

"Fried chicken is fine, but beer is not. How can a little brat drink alcohol?" Xue Rui said helplessly.

"I'm an adult, why can't I drink?" Gu Muxue asked back.

Xue Rui immediately scratched his head. What Gu Muxue said... didn't seem to be wrong.

"Just... just a small sip, to taste it."

Gu Muxue knew she was in the wrong, so her voice got lower and lower.

"Pineapple beer, pineapple-flavored beer." Xue Rui was talking nonsense.

"Is there pineapple-flavored beer?"

"Yes, there are." Xue Rui's stomach hurt from trying so hard to hold back his laughter. The little girl had a poor understanding of common people's things.

Gu Muxue discovered Xue Rui was laughing secretly, and she felt like she was being deceived...

But Xue Rui was doing this for her own good, so she said, "Then let's have pineapple beer."

"Wait for me to go downstairs and buy something." Xue Rui said as he pushed Gu Muxue into the house.

"It's too cold outside, order takeout."

Gu Muxue turned around, hugged the person in her arms tightly, and exhaled hot air from her mouth and nose.

She didn't know what was wrong, but she just didn't want Xue Rui to leave.

"Hmm...Xixi seems to be coming back soon, let her buy it on the way back."

Xue Rui took out his cell phone and called Lin Ruoxi.

"Xiao Rui."

"what happened?"

Gu Muxue shook her head: "Nothing."

In fact, there was a moment when she hoped Lin Ruoxi would not come back today and give Xue Rui to her for a day.

Even if it's only for one day. (End of this chapter)
