Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 54 Born in Rome
Sunday afternoon.

Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi went to school together.

It’s still the weekend, but I have to go to school.

"What kind of double weekend is this?" Xue Rui couldn't help but wonder.

We have a holiday on Friday and school starts on Sunday afternoon.

So among the seven days of a week, only Saturday has nothing to do with school?
Then, he suddenly thought of his senior year in high school. It seemed like they had a day off every two weeks, for one day each time...

"This is how it is in Jin Province." Xue Rui shook his head helplessly.

He spent four thousand yuan to order a desktop computer and also installed broadband and a telephone for Lin Ruoxi.

Xue Rui felt that Lin Ruoxi was out of touch with the times, especially, seriously out of touch with her peers.

So, buy a computer so that she can access external information and reduce the information gap.

At least I'll have something in common when I chat with people of my age in the future.

Of course, Xue Rui is not without selfish motives. He finds excuses to play computer games so that he can often go to Lin Ruoxi's place to sit and eat.

After all, the computer is his...

When passing by a cake shop, a strong sweet smell came over.

Just one smell makes people feel sweet.

Lin Ruoxi sniffed it a few times out of curiosity and found it smelled very good.

Xue Rui felt it was too sweet.

However, he stopped and bought some cup cakes.

"When we get to school, you can share some with your roommates." Xue Rui gave the cake to Lin Ruoxi.

"Oh……"

……

When he arrived at school, Xue Rui went straight to Class 1 to find Gu Muxue.

There were not many people in the classroom because most of the students were boarders. They were packing their things in the dormitory, chatting about what they did over the weekend, or sharing the food they brought.

Boarding students are together day and night, and the bond between classmates is much deeper than that between day students.

"Why did you come just now?" Gu Muxue glared at Xue Rui.

She had already sent a QQ message to Xue Rui, asking him to arrive at school early. She had been sitting in the classroom for an hour.

"Who comes to school for no reason?" Xue Rui didn't care and grabbed a cookie from Gu Muxue.

"It's so dry and a bit bitter. Don't buy from this store next time. The craftsmanship is so poor." Xue Rui gave a bad review.

"Didn't you check my QQ?" Gu Muxue pinched Xue Rui, causing him to jump up from the spot due to the pain.

Xue Rui was puzzled. Why did he suddenly pinch him? Just because he didn't check QQ? It's not that simple...

He looked at the cookies, which came in an ordinary plastic lunch box.

Combined with the rough taste, it also has a surprisingly poor appearance.

He guessed that it might be Gu Muxue who did it.

After all, if it’s like this, how can you have the nerve to open a store?
"I ate something else just now, and I guess the taste was mixed. If you taste it carefully, you will find that the aftertaste is very mellow." Xue Rui said seriously.

"Really?" Gu Muxue asked in a low voice without changing her expression.

Xue Rui picked up another biscuit, put it in his mouth, chewed it, swallowed it with saliva, closed his eyes and savored it carefully.

"Really? My family's pastry chef can't make this kind of taste. I heard them say that the most authentic European cookies are slightly bitter..."

Xue Rui made up stories seriously and observed Gu Muxue's micro-expressions.

The peach blossom eyes are slightly upturned.

Xue Rui confirmed that it was indeed Gu Muxue who did it.

"Then I'll give it all to you!" Gu Muxue covered the lunch box and handed it to Xue Rui.

"Really?" Xue Rui pretended to be surprised and took the lunch box with great trepidation, just like his mother was on a pilgrimage.

Gu Muxue had a satisfied look on her face. She was very happy with Xue Rui's attitude.

Xue Rui thought to himself that girls of this age are easy to fool. Just a few nice words will make them smile like a peach blossom. In fact, the two of them knew where the cookies came from.

Gu Muxue also knew that she didn’t do well, but she just wanted to hear Xue Rui praise her.

"Xue Rui, I have something to talk to you about. Who is the person you said looked like me that day?" Gu Muxue asked.

This is a big reason why she came so early.

If Xue Rui said something like "a passerby" or something like that, she would definitely not believe it. After all, Xue Rui took the initiative to call her on the weekend to explain the importance of the matter.

"Let me just show you the photos. Don't be too surprised."

Xue Rui took out an old photo, which was also the purpose of his looking for Gu Muxue.

Xue Rui felt a sense of emotion. There are some things that only those involved can understand.

Just like Gu Muxue and Ren Qunfang, they look so similar...

He spent a lot of time with the two women, but subconsciously ignored this issue.

It was not until I was reborn that I discovered this fact.

Moreover, I also found photo albums that I had never seen before, which contained the stories of several people.

"This is my father!" Gu Muxue noticed the incredibly handsome man in the photo at first sight.

"Is this... me?" Gu Muxue looked at the girl in the middle of the photo, confused.

Could it be that Xue Rui photoshopped the picture from somewhere to deceive her?

But this is an old photo. The yellowing marks from moisture and the faint handwritten date on the back all prove that this is the mark left by time.

"Who is she? Why does she look like me?" Gu Muxue asked. The photo should be real.

But she was sure that she had never seen such a photo at home.

"Huh?" Xue Rui's eyes twitched. What do you mean by looking like you?
Everything has to be done on a first come first served basis. When Ren Qunfang looked like this, you were not even a fertilized egg.

We should ask why Gu Muxue looks so much like Ren Qunfang.

However, Xue Rui did not correct this problem.

"My mother is Ren Qunfang. Qunfang Building is named after her." Xue Rui said. He thought for a moment and added, "The passerby next to him is my father."

"Is this your mother?" Gu Muxue was shocked and stood up.

"Have they known each other for a long time?" Gu Muxue said to herself.

That day, Lao Gu's reaction was very strange, and he was obviously hiding something.

Moreover, he lied to her. He obviously knew someone who looked just like him, so why did he say he didn't know her?
"Yes, they know each other. This is just one of many photos." Xue Rui said with certainty.

"When I go back today, I'm going to ask Old Gu about it." Gu Muxue muttered and put the photos away.

Xue Rui did not stop him. He had originally intended to give it to Gu Muxue and asked her to go back and ask.

"By the way, what's Uncle Xue's name..."

"Xue Jianfeng."

……

Xue Rui didn't return to his class until the teacher of Class 1 came in.

He and Gu Muxue talked for a long time, mostly about their families.

Xue Rui also listened with great interest.

He was sure that he had no relationship with Gu Muxue, and that the fact that Gu Muxue looked like his mother was purely a coincidence.

Gu Qingshan's hometown and Xue Jianfeng's hometown are two neighboring villages, so it is normal for the two to know each other.

Xue Rui discovered that Gu Qingshan was indeed an awesome person. He was about the same age as his father, but he was already the deputy director of the Hedong Municipal Supervision Bureau.

It is worth mentioning that Gu Muxue’s grandfather is a retired cadre who used to work in the finance department...

Moreover, Gu Muxue's mother was from Jiangnan, her family was quite wealthy, and they also had some businesses in Hedong.

"What a fucking awesome family." Xue Rui sighed as he sat next to Lin Ruoxi.

Some people were born in Rome.
