Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

"This..." Xue Rui was so angry that he laughed.

Chen Tingting started playing military tactics with him.

On weekdays, no matter whether it was a holiday or not, Chen Tingting would always send him messages. However, on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, Chen Tingting seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, which made him misjudge - has Chen Tingting given up?
What a good trick to deceive the world! Even compared with him, it is even better.

Xue Rui broke open another apple and found a note inside. He showed it to Gu Muxue without hiding it from her.

Gu Muxue tilted her head and read out the contents of the note: "Ping Ping An An -- Guo Guo."

The two words "Guoguo" reminded Xue Rui of the past between him and Chen Tingting. At the beginning, he didn't know Chen Tingting, and when he helped Chen Tingting out of trouble, he casually gave her a name. Unexpectedly, Chen Tingting still remembered it today...

If he opened the letter on Christmas Eve, Xue Rui felt that he would be slightly touched.

But he was too lazy and didn't pick up the package until Christmas afternoon. By the time he opened it, Christmas was over.

"Xiao Rui, what does Guoguo mean?" Gu Muxue asked.

"Let me analyze it..."

Xue Rui could never tell Gu Muxue the truth, for fear that she would become jealous.

But he had to admit that Chen Tingting was actually very romantic. These few simple words not only represented the "peace apple", but also brought holiday blessings and carried the common memories of the two.

"Ping Ping An An Guo Guo means peace fruit."

"So many repetitive words, so childish." Gu Muxue put the note down casually.

"Not really. The Hedong dialect has a lot of reduplicated words."

Gu Muxue pursed her lips. She didn’t know why, but she always felt that Xue Rui seemed to be protecting Chen Tingting?
"Mu Xue, I'll go throw away that box of apples." Xue Rui said as he stood up.

Now she dares to dig a hole in the apple and stuff a note in it. What will Chen Tingting stuff in the apple in the future?
He didn't even dare to think about it!
"I'm not so childish. Just because I eat an apple, I become hers?" Gu Muxue rolled her eyes at Xue Rui and muttered, "I don't know what she likes about you."

"What about you? What do you like about me?" Xue Rui asked with a smile.

"You're just a chatterbox. Come on and eat."

Gu Muxue poked Xue Rui's head, with tenderness hidden in her helpless eyes.

She felt that she didn't need a reason to like someone, but Xue Rui gave her enough reasons, such as the scar on her wrist, the snowman outside the window, and the breakfast delivered to her bed...

Each and every incident touched her soft heart.

If we talk about Xue Rui’s biggest shortcoming…he is a playboy!

I went to see Lin Ruoxi last night while she was asleep.

But he confessed to me this morning... Honesty is a virtue, right?

"Ah~" Gu Muxue sighed, she picked up an egg and smashed it on Xue Rui's head: "I asked you to stay up late, your eyes are swollen."

"Hehe, be careful next time." Xue Rui said with a smile.

Damn it, if this happens a few more times, I’m afraid I’ll be close to sudden death!
Gu Muxue looked at Xue Rui's bloodshot eyes and suddenly felt distressed. After peeling the eggs, she moved the table in front of her away, put her arms around Xue Rui's neck and pressed him down on the bed.

Xue Rui was stunned for a long time, wondering if the little girl had tasted the sweetness?

This early morning...

Emmm, but it’s not impossible. Xue Rui kicked off his shoes and started to take off his shirt.

"Lie down and close your eyes." Gu Muxue said angrily, a blush rising on her cheeks.

There are still some red plum blossoms scattered on the sheets and quilt covers...

"Okay." Xue Rui closed his eyes obediently.

It’s not that he is obedient, it’s mainly because he can lie on the girl’s lap and enjoy the knee pillow.

The moment I closed my eyes, all the fatigue accumulated throughout the night came back to me, and a sore feeling spread throughout my eye sockets...

But soon, a warm touch massaged away all the pain.

Gu Muxue applied eggs to his eyes.

"Mu Xue, I never realized you were so gentle before." Xue Rui's voice was tired, his mind was a mess.

"Oh? Am I a tigress in your mind?"

Gu Muxue said in a playful tone.

"It's pretty much the same."

"Xiao Rui, I think you deserve a beating."

Gu Muxue raised her little fist angrily, pretending to threaten Xue Rui, but Xue Rui's voice became increasingly unclear, and she finally couldn't bear to swing her fist.

Only when Xue Rui's breathing became steady and he began to snore softly did Gu Muxue gently withdraw and place a pillow under Xue Rui's head.

"You even slandered me for snoring." Gu Muxue pointed at Xue Rui's nose and said silently.

Suddenly, the phone beeped.

Gu Muxue hurriedly pressed the mute button, then looked worriedly at Xue Rui, who looked peaceful, before patting her chest and turning on her phone.

Yu Minlan: [Ms. Gu, I have a class at 10:30. I’ll wait for you downstairs.]

Gu Muxue glanced at the time. It was already half past nine in the morning.

She sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking Xue Rui's cheek with her palm, then quietly lifted Xue Rui's clothes to take a look at the scratches from last night, revealing a satisfied smile.

She didn't want to leave, and even wanted to skip today's class.

Because when it gets dark again, Xue Rui will no longer belong to her alone.

"Xiao Rui, you skip classes every day and you've led me astray." Gu Muxue complained in a low voice.

But even if I skipped classes, it would only add one more day, and I don’t know how many more days and nights there would be…

Gu Muxue stood up to clean the small table. She casually crumpled up the two notes from Chen Tingting and raised her wrist slightly.

Just as she was about to throw it into the trash can, her hand froze in mid-air.

Does she have the power to deal with these?
The answer is beyond doubt, she is Xue Rui's real girlfriend.

But should she be the one to handle it?
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Muxue flattened the note and placed it on the bedside table.

Since it's for Xue Rui, let him handle it.

Well, we still have to have this trust.

After covering Xue Rui with the quilt, Gu Muxue whispered in Xue Rui's ear: "Xiao Rui, I'm going to class, you have a good rest."

She gave Xue Rui a big hug through the quilt.

"mua~"

The moment she closed the door, Gu Muxue quietly poked her head out again, smiled and blinked at the snowman outside the window: "Wait for me to come back."

At around ten o'clock, Gu Muxue stood outside. The biting air made her bury her face in her scarf.

Touching the soft and thick knitted scarf, Gu Muxue felt mixed emotions.

All her interactions with Lin Ruoxi came from Xue Rui, and their experiences were not pleasant.

She still remembers that night at the KTV where Lin Ruoxi got herself drunk and her heart was shattered like a broken wine bottle.

But Lin Ruoxi never complained about her. She just silently apologized to Xue Rui and helped her out of the haze.

She even has her share of winter scarves...

"Good friend?" Gu Muxue murmured to herself.

Friends can break up, but can she do it?
Living and eating together, the three people's life trajectories are completely intertwined, just like the three braided patterns on a scarf.

She would worry about whether Xue Rui was covered well when he slept, and would also take care of Lin Ruoxi when she was sick.

If this continues, it will be more than just friendship. Above friendship, but below family?
But she and Lin Ruoxi have a conflict of interest, and it will eventually explode.

A gust of cold wind blew by and Gu Muxue shivered.

"It's so cold."

Gu Muxue wrapped her scarf tightly and stopped thinking about her troubles.

"Ruoxi, you are so skillful..."

……

When Xue Rui opened his eyes again, it was already dusk.

The room was dimly lit, and the wide terrace was sprinkled with the afterglow of the setting sun, bringing a bright yellow into view;
The room was extremely quiet. Outside, one could hear the sound of children playing, as if it came from under the water, so dull that it seemed to be in another world.

I sleep until dusk, and my heart is always shrouded in loneliness, as if I have been abandoned by the whole world.

Xue Rui was very familiar with this feeling. He used to lie in the large flat and suffer torture every day.

Xue Rui pinched his brows, trying to get rid of the loneliness, but a soft voice came to his ears, as if he had just woken up:

"Rui, are you awake?"

Xue Rui suddenly realized that there was a land of tenderness behind him, so he turned over and said, "Xixi."

Lin Ruoxi rubbed Xue Rui's forehead, and then kissed him hard.

Xue Rui had a smile in his eyes. He was no longer the same as before. There were two gentle girls waiting for him.

Feeling lonely? Leave it to your future self to reminisce about.

After enjoying it for a moment, Xue Rui's hair suddenly stood on end. He realized a very serious problem:
He fell asleep on Gu Muxue's bed, and when he woke up, Lin Ruoxi was beside him?

The best solution now is to take Lin Ruoxi and run away before Gu Muxue comes back!

Suddenly, the sound of cutting vegetables came from outside the door, and Xue Rui's heart sank to the bottom.

"Well, Mu Xue is back. I'll go help her cook." Lin Ruoxi said reluctantly. She wanted to hug Xue Rui for a while longer.

Xue Rui hurriedly pulled Lin Ruoxi back and whispered, "Xixi, don't let Mu Xue find us."

He and another woman were lying on Gu Muxue's bed, and there might even be the girl's blood on the sheets.

The point is, Gu Muxue is holding a kitchen knife in her hand now, and must not be provoked.

Lin Ruoxi widened her eyes in surprise, but she quickly understood what Xue Rui meant - Xue Rui was playing a game with them, she and Xue Rui were in the same group, and Gu Muxue was the bad guy.

Lin Ruoxi quickly got into the role. She curled herself up into a ball and tried hard to get into Xue Rui's arms.

Xue Rui was amused by Lin Ruoxi. The little girl was still so cute.

The point is, the little girl never gives him any psychological burden.

For example, if he didn't go to school today, Lin Ruoxi wouldn't ask anything and would just give him the most gentle kiss.

But just because the little girl didn't ask doesn't mean he won't explain.

"Why did you end up on Mu Xue's bed?" Xue Rui asked in a low voice.

Lin Ruoxi replied in a muffled voice: “Well, I went to school to look for you, but I couldn’t find you, so I came to take a look, and I accidentally fell asleep.”

Xue Rui grinned. Was he really careless?
But he was too lazy to ask, and instead asked, "Why don't you ask me why I'm not attending class?"

"I... I don't have the face to ask. I didn't get up last night even though you cooked so many dishes. I didn't even hear the alarm clock this morning..."

Lin Ruoxi raised her head and looked at Xue Rui, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes covered with a layer of mist.

Xue Rui threw the blame to Lin Ruoxi without changing his expression: "It's all your fault that you slept too deeply, so I was too tired to attend class."

Lin Ruoxi's tears continued to flow, and she murmured, "It's my fault, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Xue Rui's conscience was inexplicably pricked. So this is where his conscience is?
Before he left, he turned off Lin Ruoxi's alarm clock and closed the curtains...

"Xixi, don't cry. I don't blame you."

Xue Rui acted "generous" and patted Lin Ruoxi's back gently.

The little girl was easy to fool. The matter was over with just a few words, and she even took the blame on her own initiative.

"By the way, was it Mu Xue who scratched your neck?" Lin Ruoxi said in a serious tone.

Xue Rui covered Lin Ruoxi's eyes to prevent her from observing his body movements: "I asked Mu Xue to scratch it for me. I don't know why, but I felt itchy last night."

In fact, Xue Rui was so nervous that he kept repeating in his heart: Don’t quarrel, don’t quarrel…

If there is any bottom line for Lin Ruoxi, it is that he absolutely cannot be bullied.

If he didn't explain, Lin Ruoxi might really be tough for once.

“You…you…” Lin Ruoxi’s voice got lower and lower: “Be prepared.”

Lin Ruoxi was mentally prepared before entering the door.

However, when this incident really happened, she still felt an indescribable loss and sadness in her heart.

But her emotions are not important, as long as Xue Rui is happy.

Xue Rui was stunned for a moment, but he was finally discovered. He nodded and said, "Yes, definitely."

"Was the note on the bedside written by Chen Tingting? Has she come to Chang'an?" Lin Ruoxi asked softly.

She remembered the cute little girl who always stuck to Xue Rui.

Xue Rui paused and turned to look at the bedside table. The two pieces of paper from the morning were lying there quietly.

Gu Muxue didn’t deal with it?
Hiss~not normal.

It is most likely a test, giving him a chance to perform?

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Xue Rui feels that it is okay to assume so for the time being.

Now that Lin Ruoxi asked, he had to answer thoroughly: "Xixi, I'm really unlucky. I messed with Chen Tingting, and it's like a dog-skin plaster."

"Well! Stay away from her." Lin Ruoxi's voice became a little higher.

Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi switched places and sought Lin Ruoxi's "protection".

"If she comes to Chang'an, you must protect me."

"I will protect you." Lin Ruoxi nodded heavily.

Xue Rui was speaking from his heart; he had no illusions about Chen Tingting at all.

First of all, Chen Tingting is too cute and has a childish vibe to her.

Secondly, Chen Shen is a criminal policeman and a damned daughter slave.

Outside the door, Gu Muxue heard two people whispering in her room, and the corners of her mouth drooped slightly.

She hesitated for a long time, then gently knocked on the door and shouted to the inside, "Get up and eat when you wake up."

"Here I come." Lin Ruoxi shuddered and hurriedly helped Xue Rui up.

Xue Rui rubbed Lin Ruoxi's head. The little girl was still the same little girl. When she was not on her own turf, she had no confidence in doing anything.

"You go out and help first, I'm going to the bathroom." Xue Rui said.

After Lin Ruoxi went out, Xue Rui picked up the two pieces of paper.

Seeing the words "Love you Chen Tingting", Xue Rui felt inexplicably irritated. He tore the note into pieces and threw it into the trash can without hesitation.

When he tore the second piece, Xue Rui hesitated for a moment, kept the two words "Guoguo" and put them in his pocket.

He came up with this name, it sounds very nice. (End of this chapter)
