Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 52 Try to scold me
"A-choo!" Xue Rui rubbed his nose.

He stood at the door of Lin Ruoxi's house, brewing his emotions for a while.

Inside was Lin Ruoxi wearing black stockings. He knocked on the door with great anticipation.

"You... are back. I cooked." Lin Ruoxi opened the door and motioned Xue Rui to come in.

Xue Rui's gaze subconsciously turned to Lin Ruoxi's legs.

"Why is it still school uniform?" Xue Rui was very disappointed and did not hide his emotions at all.

"I need to cook and I'm afraid of making it dirty." Lin Ruoxi explained in a low voice.

She was very nervous. Why did Xue Rui care so much about what she wore?

Could it be true, as grandma said, that Xue Rui wanted to see her wearing it?

"Let me see if it fits." Xue Rui felt that his expression just now was a bit impolite, so he deliberately added this sentence.

"I... tried it on, it fits perfectly, thank you." Lin Ruoxi thanked with a blushing face.

"It's no use saying it fits. I have to see it myself." Xue Rui said shamelessly.

“Oh…” Lin Ruoxi’s face turned red.

"Look, your face is red from the heat. It's so hot, you should turn on the air conditioner. Don't be stingy about the electricity bill." Xue Rui said.

Lin Ruoxi nodded. The room had just been cooked, and there was indeed a stuffy atmosphere.

She didn't care, but she couldn't let Xue Rui get too hot, so she turned on the air conditioner and set the table for Xue Rui: "Eat first."

Xue Rui was delighted. What did this "first" mean? Could he watch it after dinner?
Xue Rui sat at the dining table and ate face to face with Lin Ruoxi.

The old lady didn't turn on the air conditioner and sat on the coffee table, but her eyes were always on Xue Rui.

Xue Rui felt uncomfortable being stared at, and said unhappily: "Can I eat her? You eat yours, why are you looking at me?"

"You know it clearly in your heart." The old lady snorted coldly.

"Let's change positions." Xue Rui turned his back to the old lady.

Lin Ruoxi made dumpling soup, cold lotus root noodles, and some cold vegetables.

The meal was simple, Xue Rui picked up the bowl and started eating.

The food from Shanxi Province is not even good enough to be served on the table.

Because... the staple food is the staple food, the vegetables are the staple food, the soup is the staple food, the snacks are the staple food, and the dessert is also the staple food.

As a result, diners from other places start to feel full before they have even taken a few bites.

However, Xue Rui really likes these noodles, especially those made by Lin Ruoxi, which makes his stomach warm after eating them.

"It's a bit vegetarian." Xue Rui mentioned it. There was not a single piece of meat on the table.

"I'm... sorry." Lin Ruoxi apologized hurriedly.

Xue Rui frowned: "Why are you apologizing to me? You cook for people, and you apologize to the people who eat? How can this be justified in the world?"

Xue Rui meant that Lin Ruoxi was still growing up, and the nutrition she ate was too monotonous, but Lin Ruoxi started by apologizing, which made him feel annoyed.

For a girl like Lin Ruoxi, it is best to speak frankly, so Xue Rui did not suppress his temper.

The old lady had a gloomy face. She was very unhappy with Xue Rui's behavior of scolding her granddaughter.

But the old lady did not try to dissuade her. She knew that her granddaughter had character flaws, and Xue Rui was trying to correct them, which was a good thing.

She is old and her time is running out. She can't even protect her granddaughter in the village, let alone in the city.

Therefore, Lin Ruoxi must learn to protect herself.

The old lady hopes that Lin Ruoxi can have her own life instead of revolving around her all day long.

As for the young man Xue Rui, although she disliked him, she had to admit that Xue Rui was Lin Ruoxi's benefactor.

"Next time someone picks on you for no reason, just curse back. Do you hear me?" Xue Rui's tone softened a little.

"Oh..." Lin Ruoxi shrank her shoulders and trembled slightly.

"You try to scold me." Xue Rui said.

Lin Ruoxi also felt very wronged as she was scolded by Xue Rui for no reason.

She wiped her tears, looked straight into Xue Rui's eyes, and mustered up the courage to speak: "Stupid... idiot."

"you……"

Xue Rui was dazed for a moment. Lin Ruoxi was so beautiful at that moment. She was crying with tears in her eyes. There was a hint of anger in her almond eyes and her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled. She was obviously scolding him, but what she called was "idiot".

Moreover, there are some bumps and stumbles.

It was like she was acting like a spoiled child with the boy she liked. Lin Ruoxi's appearance made Xue Rui's heart soften.

He sighed, "That's all...eat more meat in the future. My restaurant will have some leftovers. If you don't eat them, they will be thrown away. I'll bring them to you."

Facing Lin Ruoxi in this state, Xue Rui really couldn't get angry at all.

Xue Rui had to admit that this was much more effective than cursing.

He felt helpless, guilty, and a little bit compassionate.

"Well...thank you." Lin Ruoxi responded. It was her first time to curse someone, and it seemed...very effective.

She wanted to refuse, but Xue Rui never gave her the chance to do so.

She was afraid of being scolded again, so she decided to accept the offer. She could also cook the meat for Xue Rui.

"Why don't you ask me about Dahuang?" Xue Rui said with a smile.

Lin Ruoxi is really sensible. He said "I'll be right back" in the morning, but disappeared for the whole morning.

When Lin Ruoxi saw him for the first time, she didn't ask him where he had been, nor did she ask him why Dahuang didn't come back. It seemed as if she was waiting for him to speak.

"Where is Dahuang?" Lin Ruoxi asked.

She trusted Xue Rui in her heart, but since Xue Rui asked her to ask, she asked.

"Sell it." Xue Rui thought to himself that he should tease this silly girl again.

Lin Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes: "You...didn't sell it to the dog meat collector..."

Lin Ruoxi's reaction made Xue Rui feel a pang of pain in his heart.

"Okay, okay, I'm just teasing you. I'll pick you up in a few days." Xue Rui hurriedly explained.

Lin Ruoxi secretly glanced at Xue Rui and thought that this boy was so strange.

But she is also so weird.

Ever since I came into contact with Xue Rui, I have been either crying or laughing.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. When Xue Rui said "sold it" just now, she thought he was joking.

However, she felt that she shouldn't doubt Xue Rui, so she took it seriously.

The old lady hunched over and walked into the room, ignoring the two men.

"Eat fruit. Grandma doesn't eat it." Lin Ruoxi washed a few dragon fruits.

The dragon fruit is covered with water droplets, making it look particularly fresh.

"Does the dragon fruit need to be washed?" Xue Rui couldn't help but ask.

"I... don't know." Lin Ruoxi replied.

Not sure if she should do it or not, it was better to do it first, so she washed it.

“People who pay attention to hygiene will probably wash it.” Xue Rui was also a little confused. Should the dragon fruit be washed?

He casually picked up a dragon fruit and took a big bite, leaving a row of teeth marks.

Turning his head to look at Lin Ruoxi, Lin Ruoxi was holding a dragon fruit, opened her mouth slightly, and bit the shell of the dragon fruit.

Xue Rui's eyes twitched. Lin Ruoxi probably had never eaten this kind of fruit.

In fact, in 2012, many people had never eaten it.

But even if you haven’t seen pork, you must have seen a pig running, right?

Didn’t he just demonstrate it?

"The shell can't be eaten." Xue Rui explained.

"Well... I know... it's very bitter." Lin Ruoxi stuck out her tongue.

She had seen her classmates eat dragon fruit and knew that the skin was not edible.

However, she felt that the shell might be useful, just like no one really eats orange peels, but the peels can be soaked in water and drunk.

"Hmm?" Xue Rui's curiosity was also aroused and he took a bite of the dragon fruit's shell.

"It's really boring... I've gained more useless knowledge."

Xue Rui's face was almost twisted.

He suddenly felt as if he was being teased by Lin Ruoxi.
