Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

After tricking Lin Ruoxi away, Xue Rui dragged two huge snowballs onto the elevator, followed closely by a cleaning lady who was using a mop to clean up the falling snowflakes.

"Young man, why are you dragging the snowball upstairs..."

The cleaning lady kept complaining. Just as she was about to get off work, she saw a young man running upstairs with a snowball.

There were only two people in the small space. Xue Rui felt overwhelmed and said, "Auntie, my family has saved a lot of paper shells. I'll give them to you later."

"Okay, thank you, young man."

When the cleaning lady heard that there were cardboard boxes to pick up, she stopped complaining.

After returning home, Xue Rui opened the door quietly and threw the paper shells that Lin Ruoxi had collected to the cleaning lady.

After running back and forth on the terrace for several times, Xue Rui found that the lights in Gu Muxue's room had been turned off.

He left the lights on when he left...

Is it likely that Gu Muxue is still awake?

However, Xue Rui did not worry too much and chose to assemble the snowman in the shortest time possible. He stacked two snowballs together, took red dates and carrots from the kitchen, "painted" eyes and a nose on the snowman, and then poked the leftover scraps from decorating the Christmas tree on the snowman.

"With such festive attire, it's obviously a female snowman." Xue Rui thought to himself.

Afterwards, Xue Rui pushed the Christmas tree towards Gu Muxue's window to ensure that the entire Christmas tree could be seen in the room.

The flowerpot rubbed against the ground, making a loud noise.

"Even if I fell asleep, I should wake up now, right?" Xue Rui said to himself.

Gu Muxue's room.

Gu Muxue curled up in the quilt with earphones in her ears.

She heard Xue Rui coming back, but he didn't come in to see her immediately.

She really wanted to go out and take a look, but she felt really aggrieved.

Xue Rui asked her to sleep at home and went to build a snowman with Lin Ruoxi.

She also wanted to go, but Xue Rui didn't call her.

She could see clearly from upstairs how the two of them were laughing.

She couldn't describe how she felt. There was envy, but more of a sense of loss. Her heart seemed to be squeezed tightly by someone, and from time to time, waves of pain came from her chest.

She hoped that Xue Rui could come back soon, but now that Xue Rui really came back, she didn't know what expression to use to face Xue Rui.

Should I pretend that I know nothing and continue to enjoy Xue Rui's embrace?
Or should I question Xue Rui and vent my dissatisfaction?

Anyway, she had locked the doors and windows.

She thought that unless Xue Rui apologized, she would never let him in.

When the door opened with a click, Gu Muxue's heart suddenly hung in the air.

"Hello takeaway, here comes the fried chicken and beer you ordered."

Xue Rui knocked for a long time, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind: There is no way to wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

He had tried the window, but couldn't get in.

"Beauty, I'm almost out of time, please come out and sign for it."

"Dahuang, come here. The fried chicken was rejected by the customer. I'll give you a snack." Xue Rui shouted.

Gu Muxue leaned against the door with her lips pouted. Xue Rui was already trying to cheer her up. If she didn't open the door, Lin Ruoxi would drag Xue Rui away.

Thinking of this, Gu Muxue felt even more aggrieved.

He is obviously your boyfriend, so you have to control yourself when acting coquettishly.

She rubbed her eyes, opened the door with a "click", and quickly retreated into bed.

Almost at the same time, Xue Rui opened the door and walked into the room carrying a small table. On the table was steaming fried chicken and a dozen pineapple beers.

Following him in was Dawang, wagging his tail.

Xue Rui put down the table, leaned over and touched the forehead of Gu Muxue who was pretending to sleep: "Muxue, eat, I bought fried chicken and pineapple beer."

Gu Muxue slowly opened her eyes a crack, looked inside the room clearly, and asked uncertainly, "Where's Ruoxi?"

First, Xue Rui did not close the door when he came in;

Secondly, Dahuang wagged his tail at Xue Rui, obviously not having eaten.

All signs indicate that Lin Ruoxi is not at home.

"Oh, she has something to do and won't stay here today." Xue Rui replied casually.

The corners of Gu Muxue's mouth rose slightly.

She didn't know what means Xue Rui used, but her wish came true. Today Xue Rui belonged to her alone.

Although she didn't mind Lin Ruoxi, she still wanted to be alone with Xue Rui occasionally.

Gu Muxue was in a good mood. She quickly got up from the bed, picked up a piece of fried chicken from the table and threw it out: "Da Huang, take it."

Dawang jumped up and grabbed the chicken nugget in mid-air.

However, something Xue Rui didn't expect happened. Dahuang spit the fried chicken onto the ground, smelled it, looked up and stared at him, his tail wagging continuously.

The veins on Xue Rui's forehead were throbbing. This dog is so damn picky about food.

"Huh?" Xue Rui kicked the fried chicken on the ground.

Dahuang's eyes were evasive, as if under pressure, and he picked up the fried chicken again.

Xue Rui kicked Da Huang out without a second thought. When he closed the door, he found that Da Huang had vomited the fried chicken into the trash can...

Xue Rui sighed and returned to the room again.

"Xiao Rui?"

Gu Muxue smiled as she held a piece of fried chicken and waved it left and right.

Xue Rui took a bite and leaned over to remove the entire table. He said in a serious tone:

"It suddenly occurred to me that fried chicken is too greasy for patients to eat."

He ate the fried chicken that even dogs wouldn't eat, but he would never risk feeding it to Gu Muxue.

"Humph, biased!"

Gu Muxue folded her arms across her chest, her peach blossom eyes misting with tears.

She knew that Xue Rui didn't let her eat fried chicken for her own good, but this incident was like a fuse, bringing back unhappy memories.

At this time, Xue Rui had no idea that Gu Muxue saw him and Lin Ruoxi making a snowman, and could not understand the meaning of the word "partiality" at all.

"Mu Xue, are you jealous of Gou Zi?" Xue Rui joked.

Gu Muxue changed direction and blinked her eyes continuously to make her tears dry faster. She muttered softly, "You...you take Ruoxi to build a snowman."

Xue Rui was confused. Was this the reason why the girl locked the door?

He hugged Gu Muxue tightly from behind and said in a coaxing tone like a child: "Are you angry?"

Gu Muxue struggled subconsciously, but quickly gave up.

She caught a cold today and had no strength, so she decided not to be angry with Xue Rui for the time being.

In fact, she never had any dignity in front of Xue Rui.

"Well, you coax me." Tears kept falling from the corners of Gu Muxue's eyes.

"Okay, okay." Xue Rui said with a smile.

Gu Muxue was so cute when she was sick. Her usual fierce look was gone, and she even acted like a spoiled child towards him.

Xue Rui gently stroked Gu Muxue's hair, wiped the water droplets from the corners of Gu Muxue's eyes with his knuckles, and then walked to the window:

"Mu Xue, I'm not good at talking, let the snowman coax you."

After saying that, Xue Rui suddenly pulled open the curtains.

The colorful lights reflected on the glass, and a chubby snowman waved at the room.

Gu Muxue's eyes were dull. Only then did she understand what Xue Rui had been busy with outside.

There was a huge snowman in front of her, bigger than any she had seen on the road. She didn't dare to imagine how much effort Xue Rui would have to put in to carry it up, and how painful his hands would be from the cold.

The Christmas tree was right opposite her room. She didn't know how heavy a three or four meter tall tree was, but moving it to the door of her room was definitely not an easy task.

All of Xue Rui's efforts today were prepared for her alone...

Xue Rui is such a person.

He is usually not very serious and likes to tell little lies, but he always grasps the girl's mood at every moment and does the right thing at the right time.

Gu Muxue's vision, which had just recovered, became blurred again. The colorful lights in front of her eyes turned into halos. The figure in the halo was the person she once missed day and night.

"Xiao Rui, I forgive you." Gu Muxue smiled sweetly.

After hesitating for a moment, she opened her arms towards Xue Rui for the first time.

Xue Rui smiled slightly, thinking that she had finally coaxed her into submission, and she went over and gave Gu Muxue a big hug.

"Goo~"

A blush appeared on Gu Muxue's cheeks.

Why is her belly so disappointing?

Xue Rui rubbed Gu Muxue's soft cheek and let go reluctantly:

"Stop eating fried chicken. I'm going to cook some hot pot." "I'll go help too." Gu Muxue lowered her head and followed.

The atmosphere was so good just now, she could sense that Xue Rui wanted to do something, and she also wanted to...

Unfortunately, her belly doesn't understand romance.

"I have the final say on family matters. Go back and wait. Open the wine. I'll come back to drink it later."

Xue Rui's tone was firm and he would not tolerate any refusal.

"Yes." Gu Muxue nodded obediently and helped Xue Rui tie the apron from behind.

Gu Muxue walked out of the kitchen, then suddenly turned back. Looking at Xue Rui busying around, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.

She took a deep breath and felt that her cold was almost gone. She tiptoed towards the living room, picked up Xiaobu and turned around.

"Meow~"

"Well, Merry Christmas to you too."

Walking back to the room, looking at the snowman waving at her, Gu Muxue waved: "Hello."

She secretly glanced outside the door, took out her lipstick and drew a smiling red lip for the snowman, then gently closed the French window, fearing that Xue Rui in the kitchen would hear her open the door to let in the cold air.

Gu Muxue touched her hot cheeks and felt that she was very strange today. She was afraid of making Xue Rui unhappy with every move she made.

In an instant, she understood why Lin Ruoxi was so cautious...

I would rather give up everything for one person, even give up my original self.

Is this what it feels like to be in love to the core?

All this happened after Lin Ruoxi left. She could run around the room without restraint, act coquettishly and make requests to Xue Rui without any scruples...

"Ruoxi, I understand..."

"What a pity..." Gu Muxue shook her head violently.

This kind of opportunity is rare. Gu Muxue doesn't want to care about the past and the future, she just wants to enjoy the present moment.

"Pfft~"

She knocked open the bottle cap, and a strong pineapple scent filled her nose.

She took a sip and the sweet taste spread between her mouth and nose.

Gu Muxue picked up the glass bottle and examined it carefully, but still couldn't find the alcohol content label.

"Mu Xue, move aside." Xue Rui was holding the pot and an extension cord in his hand.

"I'm going to get the food."

……

"Cheers." Xue Rui raised the glass bottle from Hans' cabin.

"Cheers!" Gu Muxue clinked glasses with a smile.

The two of them sat side by side on the floor next to the French window. Steam was coming out of the pot in front of them. A layer of mist appeared on the glass. The Christmas tree outside the window gradually became blurred, leaving only spots of light.

An iPad was placed in front of the hot pot, playing a video, including "My Love from the Star", as a pastime for the two of them while eating.

"It's because of this show that I say I eat fried chicken and drink beer."

"I remember now." Xue Rui nodded. Korean wave has a huge influence these days, and elements of fried chicken and beer are everywhere.

Gu Muxue stared at Xue Rui beside her, her eyes full of tenderness.

At this moment, everything in the outside world seemed to be isolated.

Fried chicken and beer are other people's stories, while hot pot and pineapple beer belong to her.

There are also the people in front of me, whether it is Xue Rui at hand or the snowman outside the glass.

She and Xue Rui held hands under the table, but it didn't affect their meal at all, because she was left-handed and Xue Rui was right-handed...

Gu Muxue felt that the stories in Korean dramas were not as romantic as her experience today.

She ate a piece of baby cabbage and put it to Xue Rui's mouth: "Eat more vegetables."

Xue Rui took a bite and thought to himself that he was also eating bok choy.

"You should eat more too. You won't be able to eat it when you go home during the holidays." Xue Rui cooked a piece of tripe for Gu Muxue.

"My family eats a lot of Huaiyang cuisine, how about yours?" Gu Muxue asked.

"my home?"

Xue Rui smacked his lips and said that he had been eating and drinking at Lin Ruoxi's house every day since two years ago, and had never gone home to eat for several days.

Xue Rui blinked: "You have the final say on what we eat at home."

Gu Muxue's eyes were dazed for a moment. Xue Rui was talking about their home.

"Fried chicken has become hot pot, and beer has become pineapple beer. I have the final say." Gu Muxue muttered softly.

"Master Gu is in charge of the big things, so small things like eating are of course handled by me."

"So what is a big deal and what is a small deal...hmm."

"Oh, don't worry about these details." Xue Rui hurriedly blocked Gu Muxue's mouth with food.

As for what is a big thing and what is a small thing?

None of these are important. What is important is the established power. Then big things will become small, and small things will become nothing...

You can use straight punches on a little girl, but you have to use some tricks on a little girl. But to be honest, Gu Muxue's character is not that tough. As long as he shows a little weakness, Gu Muxue will agree.

After eating and drinking, Gu Muxue lay in Xue Rui's arms holding the tablet computer. They drank from the same bottle of pineapple beer and chatted about the trivial daily life.

"What kind of TV do you and Ruoxi usually watch?"

"Xixi rarely watches these. She usually watches whatever I watch."

"Let's watch it together next time."

Gu Muxue sighed secretly in her heart. When she was watching TV with Lin Ruoxi, the atmosphere was not as good as it is now.

Xue Rui's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he remembered something funny:

"Don't watch it with Xixi. Last time, Yu Minlan dragged her to watch a Korean drama. There was a scene where the hero and heroine were separated from each other. Xiao Yu burst into tears. Not only did Xixi not cry, she even started to find problems with the plot."

"What is the problem?"

Gu Muxue followed Xue Rui's words and asked, but she felt a strange feeling in her heart.

"She said that South Korea is not as big as our province. Is this considered a long-distance relationship?" Xue Rui said while holding back a laugh.

Lin Ruoxi said this, but he had asked Lin Ruoxi to apply to the school next door, but Lin Ruoxi refused to agree.

One street is too far, let alone separating two places.

Thinking of this, Xue Rui took out his cell phone from his pocket, wanting to see if the little girl had sent him any message.

Today he was quite direct in sending Lin Ruoxi away. Although he promised her a gift, he didn't know if the little girl cried.

Xue Rui turned on his phone, and Gu Muxue saw that the lock screen wallpaper was a photo of Lin Ruoxi, and the corners of her mouth drooped slightly.

She looked up at the ceiling blankly, and suddenly felt very lost.

There is always another person in her and Xue Rui's world...

"Mu Xue, isn't Xixi's joke funny?" Xue Rui asked with a smile.

"Funny." Gu Muxue smiled cooperatively.

But in her heart, she was thinking that she finally had a day to herself, so why did she turn the topic back to Lin Ruoxi?

Xue Rui's smile stopped abruptly. He had spent too much time with Gu Muxue, and he could tell at a glance whether the smile was real or fake.

He hugged Gu Muxue into his arms and quickly changed the subject: "Muxue, are you full?"

"Yeah, I'm full." Gu Muxue said and touched Xue Rui's hand:

"Xiao Rui, are your hands cold after making such a big snowman?"

"It's not cold, it's quite warm."

Xue Rui laughed and said, he was just fooling a bunch of kids, why would he be so cold?
"People tend to feel sleepy when they are well-fed and well-clothed. I remember there is a proverb." Xue Rui pretended not to remember it:

"What is the idea of ​​keeping warm?"

Gu Muxue whispered, "What are you thinking about?"

"It's the sentence before hunger and cold make one want to steal. Mu Xue, you read a lot, so remind me."

Gu Muxue gritted her teeth and said, "You remember the second half of the sentence, but can't you remember the first half?"
"I don't remember either."

Gu Muxue couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. Xue Rui's claws were restless again, pinching her back, but in order to avoid being played a prank by Xue Rui, she had already changed into front-fastening bra.

Xue Rui was confused. He was so familiar with unbuttoning his underwear with one hand, but today he couldn't find the button?

He changed the topic and asked, "Mu Xue, don't you have my Christmas present?"

"Yes...close your eyes and wait for me for a while." Gu Muxue slipped out of Xue Rui's arms and covered Xue Rui's head with the quilt.

She looked at the transparent Christmas tree outside the window and smiled slightly, then tiptoed to turn off the lights and took out the box that made her blush from the closet.

After Gu Muxue finished everything, she took a deep breath.

She stood by the window, pointed at the snowman's carrot nose, and said with a red face:
"Don't peek inside." (End of this chapter)
