Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Xue Rui's neck was strangled by his clothes. He retreated to the door with an embarrassed look on his face: "Master Gu, do you have any other instructions?"

"Stand at the door and reflect on yourself." Gu Muxue said, poking Xue Rui's nose.

"Yes, sir!"

Xue Rui saluted in a standard manner and stood straight with his back against the wall.

Lin Ruoxi didn't know what she should do now. She subconsciously followed Xue Rui and stood obediently.

Gu Muxue had a strange look on her face. She found that even Dahuang was sitting quietly aside and no longer barking at the elevator entrance.

After circling around the two men and the dog for a few times, she put her hands behind her back and raised her fair neck to explore Xue Rui.

Xue Rui vaguely felt that he seemed to see a non-existent cat's tail behind Gu Muxue, which was now raised high and swaying happily.

"Well, your attitude is good." Gu Muxue praised indifferently, holding Lin Ruoxi's arm and walking towards the door: "I didn't ask you to stand, come in."

Lin Ruoxi panicked for a moment. When she passed by Xue Rui, she stared into Xue Rui's eyes. She still wanted to listen to Xue Rui.

Xue Rui nodded at Lin Ruoxi, motioning her to go in first.

She found that after the little episode just now, Gu Muxue's anger had actually subsided by more than half.

To be precise, the driver who came to "catch the adulterer" bore most of the wrath...

Good people will have a peaceful life.

"Dahuang, you come in too." Gu Muxue stretched out her claws and pulled Dahuang in.

In the living room.

Lin Ruoxi kept pacing back and forth, and from time to time she leaned over the peephole to look at Xue Rui outside the door.

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Ruoxi begged in a low voice: "Mu Xue, can you...can you let him in?"

"You are just soft-hearted." Gu Muxue glared at Lin Ruoxi unhappily, feeling secretly delighted in her heart.

After Chen Tingting's provocation, Lin Ruoxi paid special attention to every word she said. This feeling was quite comfortable.

"But outside..." Lin Ruoxi thought hard, trying to find an excuse to bring Xue Rui in.

Gu Muxue poked Lin Ruoxi's forehead and said:

"It's warm and safe outside the door, and there's one apartment per floor. Xiao Rui hasn't embarrassed himself in front of outsiders, so what's the harm in standing there for a while? You might as well think about how worried you were last night."

Lin Ruoxi recalled that when Chen Tingting threatened her last night, she was really scared and a little angry!
In accordance with Gu Muxue's request, she prepared many "questions" in her mind, ready to ask Xue Rui when he came back.

But when Xue Rui leaned in her arms, her heart almost melted. How could she bear to ask Xue Rui?

Lin Ruoxi knew she couldn’t ask, so she quietly sat next to Gu Muxue and whispered, “Muxue, can you…can you ask for me?”

Gu Muxue sighed helplessly and pressed the button on the screen: "Xiao Rui, tell me what happened yesterday. If it doesn't match what I said, you can sleep with Da Huang."

Xue Rui on the screen raised his head and looked at the two people across the screen:
"Mu Xue, you don't know. Yesterday, Chen Tingting wanted to take me to eat at a private restaurant and tricked me into her house. What's even more amazing is that she calls her own mother "Auntie". Who would have thought of this..."

Xue Rui first complained about Chen Tingting, and then angrily scolded her: "Her father is really something, he didn't even remind me!"

Suddenly, Xue Rui remembered that Chen Shen had actually reminded him...

But these are not important. What matters now is to get yourself out of it.

"This is too much. A man in his forties or fifties actually deceived a child like me and took me drinking..." Xue Rui looked aggrieved.

Lin Ruoxi looked very angry and also felt unfair for Xue Rui.

Gu Muxue held her chin up and thought for a long time, thinking that the time was right, Chen Tingting did not appear at the same time as Xue Rui last night, it was probably as Xue Rui said...

"Mu Xue, I only love..." Xue Rui paused, thinking that this should not be said casually: "I only love you and Xixi. This time I am also responsible. I will punish myself with housework for a month and I promise that there will be no next time. Xixi, don't be angry."

Lin Ruoxi shouted crisply to the surveillance camera: "Rui, I'll open the door for you."

Just as Lin Ruoxi was about to get up, Gu Muxue grabbed Lin Ruoxi's sleeve and said, "Let him learn a lesson out there, and don't think everything can be easily fooled away."

"Rui chased us all afternoon. I just touched his stomach and it was empty because he didn't eat." Lin Ruoxi's eyes were full of heartache.

Gu Muxue was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned her head and picked up her phone, pretending to answer it: "Hello, what's the matter..."

"Thank you."

After Lin Ruoxi thanked him softly, she skipped towards the kitchen.

But she felt it was so strange. In the past, Gu Muxue often bullied Xue Rui, and she would get angry every time she saw it.

Lin Ruoxi believes that she is not that "cowardly" after all.

If Gu Muxue had kicked Xue Rui out before, she would have been angry...

He would take Xue Rui back to his own home without hesitation.

But now it seems to have changed, and I seem to attach great importance to Gu Muxue's opinion.

why?

She tried hard to find an opportunity, and suddenly a picture flashed through her mind.

When Xue Rui was pointed at with a wrench and scolded, she was standing behind the door, so nervous that she could hardly move, but Gu Muxue opened the door without hesitation and started arguing with the other person.

Gu Muxue at that moment made it impossible for her to rebel.

Gu Muxue can protect Xue Rui, but she can't;
Gu Muxue had ways to make Xue Rui obedient and give up many bad habits, but she couldn't;

Xue Rui and Gu Muxue are such a good match...

Even Xue Rui's apology just now was mainly about Gu Muxue...

Thinking of this, she felt a sour feeling in her nose, as if Xue Rui would still be living a good life even if she hadn't appeared.

She seemed to be a superfluous person.

"Rui is still hungry, I need to cook quickly."

Lin Ruoxi rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, and her eyelashes, which were covered with flour, trembled slightly.

……

Outside the gate, Xue Rui leaned against the wall bored, playing with his phone to pass the time in a blind spot of the surveillance camera.

Suddenly there was a "click" sound beside his ear, and Xue Rui hurriedly put the phone into his pocket.

Damn, the feeling of stealing is too strong, just like playing with your phone during evening self-study in high school...

He slowly turned his head and subconsciously gave a flattering smile, but when he saw who was coming, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Lin Ruoxi's face was covered with white flour, and she held a big bowl of hot noodles carefully like a little cat.

"You must be hungry. Eat something quickly." Lin Ruoxi said in a low voice.

Xue Rui was stunned for a moment, thinking that Lin Ruoxi's sneaky attitude obviously meant she came out without telling Gu Muxue.

He looked closely and saw that the flour on Lin Ruoxi's eyelashes had become the size of salt grains, as if she had just cried.

"Xixi, did Mu Xue bully you?" Xue Rui asked in disbelief.

Lin Ruoxi's eyes panicked for a moment, and then she shook her head like a rattle: "Be quiet...keep your voice down."

Xue Rui's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. The little girl's reaction clearly showed that she had been wronged.

No, no, Gu Muxue is very gentle, not what he thought.

Could it be that because I didn't get in, the little girl and the little girl were mad at each other and made me cry?

It's not impossible...

"Wait a moment, I'll go get something." Lin Ruoxi said and walked into the room again.

Not long after, under Xue Rui's shocked gaze, Lin Ruoxi walked out the door holding one "equipment" after another.

Bedding, pillows, sheets, a small table for eating, snacks and fruits...

Gu Muxue, who was sitting on the sofa, frowned and asked, "You want to sleep outside?"

"There are heaters and surveillance cameras outside, and the elevator cards are for each household, so no one else will come..." Lin Ruoxi said softly. In fact, it was mainly because of Xue Rui.

Gu Muxue was speechless for a moment. This was what she had just said to Lin Ruoxi, and Lin Ruoxi returned it exactly as it was, leaving her unable to refute.

"Tell me when you calm down."

"go Go."

Gu Muxue pinched her eyebrows, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.

Lin Ruoxi wanted to spend the night with Xue Rui at the door, saying that she would come back when she calmed down.

Where does she get so angry?

She just wanted to use this incident to teach Xue Rui a lesson...

But if Lin Ruoxi continues to dote on him like this, how could Xue Rui learn his lesson?
……

In the corridor.

After Lin Ruoxi closed the door, she smiled with joy.

It seems like sleeping outside with Xue Rui would be quite fun.

"Xixi, you want to move in the middle of the night?" Xue Rui asked uncertainly.

Has it come to this?
"No." Lin Ruoxi shook her head slightly and began to spread the bedding at the door.

"You are..." Xue Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head.

According to his plan, Gu Muxue would let him in at ten o'clock at the latest, but after Lin Ruoxi's actions, how could he get in?

"I don't know when Mu Xue will calm down, so I might as well come out too." Lin Ruoxi smiled and helped Xue Rui take off his shoes: "Sit up and eat."

After saying that, Lin Ruoxi picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and gently put it to her mouth to cool it down.

Xue Rui helplessly spread his hands towards the camera, indicating that he was also forced, and then followed Lin Ruoxi into the blind spot.

……

After dinner, Lin Ruoxi pulled Xue Rui to lean against the wall. In front of them was a laptop computer with a classic horror movie playing on the screen.

Lin Ruoxi wrapped herself and Xue Rui's heads tightly with the quilt, her eyes wandering between the screen and the end of the dark corridor.

She knew it was safe here, but she was still very scared. However, Xue Rui was wrapped in the quilt, which made her feel safe.

The interweaving of the two emotions was a very subtle feeling, and she liked it very much.

"Rui, if you are sleepy, go to sleep. I will watch over you." Lin Ruoxi said in a low voice.

Xue Rui smiled and pinched Lin Ruoxi's nose: "Xixi, you want to play the camping game, right?"

Only when he and Lin Ruoxi are alone together, Lin Ruoxi's childish nature will be released.

He could feel the joy in Lin Ruoxi's heart, as if a child had found his own "secret base".

"Well, you found out." Lin Ruoxi covered her mouth with the quilt.

Xue Rui leaned against the wall and took Lin Ruoxi into his arms. He reached out and gently wiped the flour off Lin Ruoxi's face.

"Did you cry just now?" Xue Rui asked softly.

"Yeah." Lin Ruoxi nodded obediently.

"Why are you crying? Don't lie."

Xue Rui pinched Lin Ruoxi's face and squeezed the little girl's mouth into a rosy "O" shape.

"I..." Lin Ruoxi's voice trembled. Xue Rui could always find out that she had a little secret in her heart.

"When I was kneading the dough, I suddenly felt like I was superfluous. You can live just as well with or without me."

Lin Ruoxi couldn't stop her tears from flowing, but she didn't feel so conflicted anymore.

Xue Rui has always cared about me.

I am such a heartless bad woman...

"Xixi, the dough you knead is the best in the world. I can't eat without you." Xue Rui said seriously.

Lin Ruoxi smiled foolishly. Xue Rui praised her again.

However, she still wanted to hear a few more words, but she didn't know whether Xue Rui would agree.

So, she tentatively asked, "What else?"

Xue Rui was stunned for a moment. How could this little girl not be humble?
Maybe the little girl is really insecure.

“Your heart is bigger.”

Xue Rui tickled Lin Ruoxi's itch spot.

Lin Ruoxi quickly covered Xue Rui's mouth: "Shh~ Mu Xue will be sad if she hears it."

Xue Rui was amused by Lin Ruoxi. The little girl nowadays was becoming more and more cunning.

"Xixi, are you afraid of her?" Xue Rui said, touching Lin Ruoxi's head.

"I... I can't refuse her, so am I afraid?" Lin Ruoxi asked with her head raised.

She used to think that she was afraid of Gu Muxue because Gu Muxue could control Xue Rui's mood.

But now Lin Ruoxi felt that she was thinking too superficially, as if she wanted to listen to Gu Muxue's words from the bottom of her heart.

"Mu Xue took me to buy new clothes for the Chinese New Year today, and also bought me some gifts, asking me to take them back for the Chinese New Year. I would have directly refused before, but now I can't seem to refuse..."

Lin Ruoxi's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke: "Do I owe her too much?"

Xue Rui rubbed Lin Ruoxi's hair with his chin: "Mu Xue bears the greatest responsibilities and obligations at home, so she naturally has the greatest rights, so we respect her, not fear her."

As Xue Rui spoke, he let out a long sigh. In this relationship, Gu Muxue had made too much sacrifice, keeping such a big secret for him, hiding it from her closest family and friends.

Gu Muxue never owed Lin Ruoxi anything. Not only did she run around helping Lin Ruoxi receive professors from various universities, she even taught Lin Ruoxi the etiquette for getting along with elders, and she also took Dahuang to bathe regularly.

If it weren't for Gu Muxue's careful care, everything would be like flowers in the water and the moon in the mirror.

"Yeah." Lin Ruoxi tilted her head back and gave Xue Rui a light kiss on his chin.

Xue Rui is so smart. Whenever she has trouble understanding something, Xue Rui can give her a clear and logical explanation.

"Mu Xue is the most protective of her people. She always helps her relatives and never helps others. In fact, I was the one who fooled the driver first, causing him to get scolded for nothing and almost get chased and bitten by Da Huang." Xue Rui said with a smile.

"Well, I also noticed that Mu Xue didn't even ask you why someone followed you up here."

Lin Ruoxi had no idea that she and Gu Muxue were the same.

"Xixi, go back to sleep. Mu Xue should have calmed down long ago." Xue Rui said in a low voice, feeling that there should be no more conflicts at home.

"I...I want to stay here for a while longer, okay?" Lin Ruoxi's voice was as thin as a mosquito.

When she was lying in Xue Rui's arms, she was really lazy, so lazy that she didn't want to talk. She just wanted to listen quietly to the heartbeat behind her.

"Okay, remember to call me when you go back." Xue Rui yawned, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.

After an unknown amount of time, the door quietly opened a crack.

Gu Muxue tilted her head and looked at the two people in the corner with a stiff neck.

Xue Rui's head was against the radiator in the corridor, while Lin Ruoxi was leaning on Xue Rui's chest...

"You two...are really a source of worry to me."

Gu Muxue said to herself.

She looked at Lin Ruoxi, then at Xue Rui, and clenched her fists tighter and tighter.

"Bang!" A muffled sound echoed in the corridor.

"Get up and go back to sleep!" (End of this chapter)
