Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

On the way to the girls' dormitory, Chen Tingting asked Li Ruihao a lot of questions, most of which were about Xue Rui.

Li Ruihao mostly gave vague answers to evade the question, but he still gleaned a lot of information from them.

Gu Muxue actually knew that Chen Tingting liked Xue Rui!
Li Ruihao's eyes were filled with envy; he envied that the girls around Xue Rui were all so sensible.

Where is his girlfriend?
Just seeing a "520" transfer, she came to make a scene, and Gu Muxue, knowing full well that Chen Tingting was there to steal her man, still generously helped Chen Tingting.

"Sigh... He already has two girlfriends," Chen Tingting sighed.

Li Ruihao chuckled dryly and comforted him, "President Xue is young and wealthy, and it's only natural that he has many beautiful women around him."

Chen Tingting nodded slightly, then immediately shook her head and explained:

“When I liked him, he was still relying on Gu Muxue and Lin Ruoxi for meals, and he didn’t even have the money to go to a hotel.”

Li Ruihao was stunned. Chen Tingting wasn't here for the money?
Mr. Xue, you're in trouble now...

"Luckily, he has two girlfriends." Chen Tingting smiled contentedly, her tone very relaxed.

Chen Tingting repeated the same words, but her mood was completely different from the previous sentence.

"What's so great about this?" Li Ruihao couldn't help but ask.

"If he only has one partner, then me poaching him would be breaking up someone else's relationship, which is immoral, and I would become a mistress..."

"But since he has two girlfriends, I don't feel guilty. Anyway, I wasn't the one who was immoral first."

"Yes Yes……"

Li Ruihao smiled awkwardly, thinking to himself that Chen Tingting's thought process was indeed abnormal.

How should I put it... it's kind of like a dead pig that's not afraid of boiling water?
It seems that since Xue Rui already has two girlfriends, having one more doesn't matter.

"No, no, if we're going by seniority, wouldn't I be the third one? That's too unlucky!"

The boy who helped carry the luggage looked completely bewildered.

No, what are they talking about?
It's clearly in Chinese, but why can't I understand it?

What do you mean by two girlfriends? What do you mean by a mistress?
I've only been playing games in my dorm for two years, and it seems like I'm already out of touch with the conversations of younger students...

Amidst laughter and conversation, the group arrived at the girls' dormitory.

The dormitory supervisor greeted Li Ruihao familiarly, "Oh, Li's here?"

"Hello, Auntie, I'm here to see a classmate off."

"Okay, go on up." The aunt waved her hand.

Li Ruihao quickly stepped forward, took the luggage, and carried it upstairs.

He felt that with Chen Tingting's looks and likable personality, she would probably be able to win over Xue Rui.

After all, when a man pursues a woman, he's just shameless and persistent, and he doesn't believe Chen Tingting will fail.

Therefore, it's not a loss to put in some effort now.

Chen Tingting's dormitory was on the fourth floor. Her suitcase, along with her bedding, weighed several dozen kilograms. Coupled with the hot weather, Li Ruihao was covered in sweat.

When they arrived at the dormitory entrance, Chen Tingting wanted to thank Li Ruihao, but she didn't know how to address him.

Do you call others "senior"?
But Li Ruihao is Xue Rui's employee. If I become Xue Rui's girlfriend in the future, wouldn't calling him "senior" make Xue Rui feel like he's at a disadvantage?
Chen Tingting handed over a pack of tissues: "Thank you. I wanted to ask how Xue Rui usually addresses you?"

Li Ruihao wiped his sweat, his expression slightly thoughtful: "When others are around, they call me Xiao Li, but in private, I have a good relationship with President Xue, and he calls me Lao Li."

Chen Tingting thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll shout along with him."

Li Ruihao smiled awkwardly: "Okay, knock on the door and go in."

"dong dong dong~"

The door was open, and three girls were sitting together chatting in the dormitory. When they saw Chen Tingting come in with bags and packages, they greeted her warmly.

One of the girls stared at Li Ruihao for a moment, then, after a moment's thought, exclaimed excitedly, "Senior, I've seen you on the school's official WeChat account!"

"Really?" The girl next to her was also quite surprised.

The crowd first searched for their phones, then looked at Li Ruihao with admiration.

These are students who have just emerged from the fierce competition of the college entrance examination, and they know how difficult it is to study.

They were already very proud to be admitted to Jiaotong University, and Li Ruihao was one of the best among them, so he was naturally a respected figure.

However, Li Ruihao knew that his success was mainly due to Xue Rui. He had a very high income and his own small team before he even graduated, which is why the school used him for recruitment.

But the facts don't matter; what matters is the moment when you're being adored by a girl.

Isn't all that hard work for this day?

"Senior Li, I'd like to ask you for some advice."

"By the way, why did you come to our dorm?"

The girls then remembered that Li Ruihao had come in with the last roommate.

They instinctively turned their gaze to Chen Tingting, and upon seeing her sweet and lovely face, they immediately understood.

Successful boys always like beautiful girls.

They looked at Chen Tingting with envy.

Li Ruihao was still basking in the feeling of being the center of attention, and said in a deliberately profound tone:

"Study hard, and you will surely be able to be like me in the future."

"Senior, let's add each other on WeChat? I can ask you for help if I need anything in the future."

A girl took out her phone.

"By the way, your girlfriend is my roommate, so we'll probably see each other quite often in the future."

"She's not my girlfriend, she's..."

Li Ruihao was taken aback. Chen Tingting wasn't Xue Rui's girlfriend anymore, so he didn't know how to introduce her. He just smiled and added:
"She's my friend's junior from school."

The group chattered amongst themselves, oblivious to the increasingly grim expression on Chen Tingting's face.

Chen Tingting was a little angry. She thought that she was no longer Xue Rui's girlfriend, and since Li Ruihao didn't call her "boss's wife," she didn't argue with Li Ruihao.

Why doesn't Li Ruihao call Xue Rui "boss"?
In fact, when people are showing off, they subconsciously gloss over those who are superior to them.

"Helping a friend take a female student home" and "helping the boss take a female student home" are two completely different things.

The former is a matter of social interaction; people won't question it and will even think that Li Ruihao is a man of good relationships.

As for the latter, Li Ruihao was immediately relegated to the role of a gofer, which greatly diminished his image.

But Chen Tingting didn't care about any of that; she said coldly:

"Xiao Li, is there anything else you need to do here?"

The moment Chen Tingting finished speaking, the cheerful atmosphere in the dormitory froze, falling into a deathly silence.

The girls couldn't understand the meaning of the nickname "Xiao Li".

Li Ruihao is four years older than you, yet you call him Xiao Li.

Li Ruihao was equally bewildered.

He was wondering why Chen Tingting hadn't called out "Old Li".

Could it be that Chen Tingting interpreted it literally?
Now that there are people, why do I have to call myself "Little Li"?
No, no, no, there's another possibility: Chen Tingting is angry.

"I'll be going now. Call me anytime if you need anything," Li Ruihao said with a smile.

The other three girls looked on in astonishment. They couldn't understand why Li Ruihao seemed to be somewhat afraid of Chen Tingting.

But upon closer reflection, it made sense. Boys rarely argue with girls, so it must be Chen Tingting's problem.

The tallest girl stepped forward, glanced at the nameplate on the bed, and said, "Chen Tingting, show some respect to your senior."

Chen Tingting gave her a cold glance but didn't reply.

Because she currently lacks legitimacy, it was Xue Rui and Gu Muxue who brought Li Ruihao over. Moreover, she has a physical disability, is not used to communal living, and doesn't plan to stay in the dormitory for long; she intends to move out after military training.

“You should get along with her. There’s a reason she treats me this way. I made her angry before.” Li Ruihao was immediately covered in cold sweat.

Chen Tingting pursed her lips and pointed to a poster on the wall next to a girl's bed, saying, "Xiao Li, does the school allow us to put up photos in the dorm?"

It was a poster of a Korean male star, which many fangirls liked to put on their walls.

"Permission granted." Li Ruihao looked at Chen Tingting with pleading eyes.

Good heavens, can you please stop causing trouble?
That poster looks brand new, it was obviously just put up. Are you planning to break up with your roommate as soon as you arrive?
"Oh, then I can apply it without worry."

Chen Tingting opened her suitcase with a smile and took out a poster from the cardboard tube.

Li Ruihao was somewhat surprised. Someone like Chen Tingting, who always talked about Xue Rui, would also be a fan of celebrities?

Who are they chasing?
Chen Tingting's roommates were also curiously waiting for her to open the poster and see the beautiful woman in it.

As the poster was gradually unfurled, everyone's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

It's a half-body business photo in a suit. The man in the photo has regular features, but he's too ordinary; he'd blend into the crowd.

"Who is he?"

People didn't understand why such a photo needed to be displayed on the wall.

Li Ruihao got goosebumps all over his body.

It's one thing if others don't recognize him, but he does.

Isn't this a photo of Xue Rui?

Chen Tingting climbed onto the bed and held the poster up to the wall for a while.

The people under the bed were frowning, each with their own thoughts.

The roommates were thinking: There's a strange girl in the dorm, and she even has a strange man's picture on her.

Meanwhile, Li Ruihao was holding up his phone, secretly taking pictures of the poster in Chen Tingting's hand.

As Chen Tingting began to peel off the adhesive backing, someone finally couldn't hold back any longer, and a girl spoke up to dissuade her:
"Chen Tingting, it's fine if you're going to associate yourself with celebrities, but what's the point of doing it?"

Actually, the girl didn't say the second half of her sentence: "He looks so ordinary, and he's right across from my bed. How uncomfortable I feel when I see him as soon as I wake up."

"This is my future husband, and a future superstar. What are these things you've put up? I don't recognize them."

Chen Tingting rolled her eyes at the posters of Korean stars on the wall, her expression full of disdain.

The girl's face turned bright red with anger: "That's G-Dragon!"

Chen Tingting paused for a moment: "It sounds familiar."

"you!"

The girl's chest heaved. She really wanted to argue with Chen Tingting, but she was afraid she wouldn't win.

Chen Tingting looked around and then slowly rolled up the poster.

Seeing Chen Tingting put away the poster, the girl assumed that Chen Tingting had given in. She put her hands on her hips and whispered, "She still has some self-awareness."

After all, no matter how you looked at it, that man didn't seem like someone who could be compared to her idol.

Upon hearing this, Chen Tingting frowned sharply. She had put away the poster because she didn't want to show it to other girls, but she didn't expect this person to take advantage of her.

"I'm showing you how generous I am, don't be ungrateful."

Without saying a word, Chen Tingting posted Xue Rui's photo.

The girl was stunned. She hadn't expected Chen Tingting to look so gentle and sweet, yet have such a strong personality!
She didn't know what to do for a moment, and grabbed Li Ruihao's arm: "Senior, you have to do something about her!"

The girl's voice trailed off, carrying a hint of coquettishness.

"You need to do something about her!"

Chen Tingting imitated it in a sarcastic tone.

Li Ruihao felt a buzzing in his ears; his head felt like it was about to explode.

Chen Tingting posted a photo of his boss, what could he say?
Are you suggesting we join these people in belittling the boss?

He hadn't forgotten that Gu Muxue still had something on him, and she was also very protective of her own!
With one foot already on the sewing machine, what can I say?
Faced with the pleas of the women, Li Ruihao gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Tingting doesn't recognize the posters you put up, and you don't recognize the ones she put up either. Isn't that fair?"

"Moreover, I recognize the photos Chen Tingting posted. She's a rising star in the business world with an immeasurable future, far beyond what celebrities can compare to."

"For example, many of the apps on your phones right now were developed by his company."

Li Ruihao also made sure to flatter Xue Rui to calm Chen Tingting down.

"is it?"

Everyone looked puzzled, then stared blankly at the photo on Chen Tingting's bedside table.

"Yes." Li Ruihao nodded, thinking to himself that he hadn't said anything wrong.

Xue Rui has now come up with another project called Orange Calculation. Although he doesn't understand what it does, he is greatly shocked by the plaques on the company's walls.

The partners are either nationally renowned universities or globally famous technology companies, and it is said that they will be attending a meeting in the provincial capital soon, so the value of the partnership is self-evident.

In terms of social status alone, Xue Rui is not someone that just any celebrity can easily piggyback on.

Chen Tingting's eyes lit up, and she praised, "Old Li, you have excellent taste."

Li Ruihao gave an awkward laugh, then made an excuse and hurriedly left.

Li Ruihao walked out of the girls' dormitory at around 7 p.m., and the sun was about to set.

As the evening breeze blew, the cold sweat on Li Ruihao's back evaporated, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

Boss, you're in big trouble!
Chen Tingting has an outgoing personality and seems eager to announce to the whole world that she wants to be Xue Rui's girlfriend...

She was at odds with her roommates as soon as she arrived at school. If she had met Gu Muxue and Lin Ruoxi, wouldn't they have been arguing every day?
Li Ruihao felt it necessary to report this to Xue Rui so that Xue Rui could be mentally prepared in advance.

……

Meanwhile, at Lin Ruoxi's home.

"Rui, come and see the sunset!"

Lin Ruoxi pulled Xue Rui to the bay window, covered Xue Rui's legs with a small blanket, and then ran away, saying, "Wait for me, I'm going to get the watermelon."

Xue Rui leaned against the edge of the bed, thinking to himself that he was really sorry to Gu Muxue.

Unfortunately, today is an even-numbered day, so he has to stay with Lin Ruoxi.

Suddenly his phone vibrated; he had received a message from Li Ruihao.

Boss, Mr. Gu asked me to help Chen Tingting enroll in school today...

Li Ruihao described the whole story in detail, and then posted a photo of Chen Tingting holding up a poster.

Xue Rui zoomed in on the photo and saw his picture hanging on the wall, which made him feel inexplicably uneasy.

Thankfully it wasn't a black and white photo, otherwise it would have been even more creepy.

Xue Rui: [Understood.]

Then Xue Rui casually tossed his phone aside, closed his eyes, and pinched the bridge of his nose. He immediately lost the mood to watch the sunset.

Hearing Lin Ruoxi's footsteps approaching, Xue Rui did not open his eyes.

Xue Rui only slowly opened his eyes when he smelled the fresh scent of watermelon.

Lin Ruoxi knelt beside him, holding a spoon in one hand and catching the watermelon juice dripping down with the other.

"Mmm, here's the sweetest watermelon core for you."

Xue Rui smiled, arched his body slightly, revealing the phone with its screen lit up under his buttocks.

Xue Rui's heart skipped a beat. Before he could even turn off the screen, Lin Ruoxi had already reached out... (End of Chapter)
