Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

In the video, Chen Tingting waves to Xue Rui with a smile.

Xue Rui froze on the spot. Had Chen Tingting gone to her own dormitory?

If I remember correctly, Chen Tingting has only been in Chang'an for two days...

Gu Muxue called on herself to "assert sovereignty," while Chen Tingting also chose to take the initiative.

This resulted in both of them missing their target and ending up swapping homes...

Xue Rui suddenly felt a terrible headache.

Although he didn't live on campus, he went back to his dormitory quite often. It was where he played games and rested, and Lin Ruoxi often went there as well.

If Chen Tingting becomes familiar with the place and goes there every now and then, wouldn't he be furious?
"I recognize this place! You came looking for me?"

Chen Tingting's delighted voice rang out again, like a chirping little sparrow.

Gu Muxue, standing to the side, had a very solemn expression.

She never expected Chen Tingting to be so bold as to go directly to Xue Rui's dormitory.

Just as Xue Rui was wondering how to explain, Gu Muxue took the phone and looked around the dormitory:
"Tingting, I brought my boyfriend to see you, why did you run away?"

Gu Muxue decided to proceed according to the original plan, and she was speaking to Chen Tingting's roommate.

"What do you mean 'your boyfriend'? Does he have your name written on his body?"

The moment Chen Tingting saw Gu Muxue, the smile on her face vanished.

In Chen Tingting's view, Gu Muxue was there to show off her power.

Now, he's even putting a hat on his own head in front of his roommate.

Of course, Chen Tingting didn't really care about these things, but she wasn't one to suffer a loss either.

She slightly turned the camera to the side, revealing Qian Huabiao's face:

"Senior, is she Xue Rui's girlfriend? Then who is Lin Ruoxi?"

Qian Huabiao remained silent, only offering an awkward smile.

Seeing that Qian Huabiao didn't answer, Chen Tingting raised her phone to ask the next person, "Senior, do you know her?"

……

In an instant, Xue Rui felt a chill run down his spine.

His affair with two women was known only to a few people in his dormitory within the class.

Now Chen Tingting is holding up her phone, as if she wants to publicize his actions to the whole world.

Gu Muxue naturally realized this, and she said coldly:

"Chen Tingting, what's the point of doing this other than making Xue Rui hate you?"

However, Chen Tingting on the other end of the video looked completely indifferent:
"You're making it sound like he'd like me if I didn't do this. You won't even let him add me on social media. You're being too nosy."

Gu Muxue sighed, thinking that Chen Tingting had already given up and didn't care what means she used as long as she could get close to Xue Rui.

"Hehe, Gu Muxue, why aren't you saying anything?"

In fact, Chen Tingting's thinking was very simple: since she had nothing, she was naturally not afraid of losing anything.

Having nothing is precisely Chen Tingting's greatest advantage.

To put it bluntly, it's like the barefoot aren't afraid of those wearing shoes...

Gu Muxue calmed down. She absolutely couldn't show that she cared at this moment, otherwise she would be playing right into Chen Tingting's hands.

So she pointed the camera at several large bags of snacks:

"Tingting, I bought you some snacks and fruit, and I put them on your desk."

"No way! Gu Muxue, you're so scheming. You're always trying to fatten me up so Xue Rui won't like me anymore."

Gu Muxue looked blankly at Chen Tingting, wondering why her thought process was always so strange.
Who taught her that?
The air was silent for a long while, and Xue Rui was scratching his head, looking utterly hopeless.

He could already imagine that when he returned to the dormitory, his gossipy roommates would chase after him and tease him relentlessly.

Gu Muxue looked at the photos on the wall and said slowly:

"Chen Tingting, where did you find Xiao Rui's photo? It looks like you stole it from my WeChat Moments."

Chen Tingting's face visibly flushed, then she gritted her teeth and said:
“It was stolen from you. I’m not only going to steal the photo, I’m going to steal him too.”

Seeing that it had worked, Gu Muxue continued:
"You posted it in a public area, didn't you think about how your roommates would feel?"

As Gu Muxue spoke, she looked at Chen Tingting's roommates.

The roommates were completely dumbfounded; they had stumbled upon a huge piece of gossip.

Is Chen Tingting trying to steal someone else's boyfriend?

Yesterday he was putting up photos on the wall, and today his girlfriend showed up at his door.

They were actually secretly gloating over this.

The tallest girl was the most pleased with herself.

Last night, she tore down her own poster and then asked Chen Tingting in a tactful tone if she could also tear down Xue Rui's photo to keep the dormitory tidy.

After all, either everyone puts it on, or nobody puts it on; that's fair.

But Chen Tingting's answer surprised her:
"So it seems you don't really like that guy surnamed Quan either, since you threw him in the trash. But I'm different from you; I won't tear him up."

Chen Tingting's single sentence made her so angry that she couldn't sleep all night. Now that she's run into Xue Rui's girlfriend, she's determined to take down the photos.

"Senior, do you want to take Xue Rui's photo with you?"

The girl looked at Gu Muxue with anticipation.

The next second, Chen Tingting's voice came from the speaker:

"Gu Muxue, turn the volume up a bit, I need to talk to my roommate."

Gu Muxue paused for a moment, turned the volume up to the maximum, and held the screen up in front of the group.

A moment later, Chen Tingting's indignant voice came from the phone:
"When I get back, if the photos are gone, or if someone has scribbled on them, I'll assume it was you who did it, and then..."

Chen Tingting didn't continue speaking, but the threat was practically overflowing from the screen.

Upon hearing this, Xue Rui was shocked. He hadn't seen Chen Tingting for only a year, and the girl had changed so much!

What a clever tactic to shift the blame!
"Sigh~" Gu Muxue gave a wry smile, thinking that it was unlucky for these girls to run into Chen Tingting.

Now that all her tricks have failed, there's no need for her to stay here any longer.

"I'm leaving, I'm hanging up."

Gu Muxue pressed the hang-up button, handed the phone to Xue Rui, and then looked around the dormitory.

The tall girl said with a worried look, "Senior, you'd better not tear up the photos. I think she'll definitely cause me trouble."

Gu Muxue chuckled to herself. She really hadn't expected that Chen Tingting, who was so small, would have such power.

She only stayed for half a day, but she had already completely subdued her roommate.

Gu Muxue shook her head and said gently, "You don't need to be afraid of her. She's not a bad person."

Xue Rui's eyes widened instantly. Just now, Gu Muxue was arguing with Chen Tingting, but now, after hanging up the phone, she was actually speaking up for Chen Tingting?

"Take the snacks. You medical students have a long study period and will be together for five years. We can't afford to ruin our relationship from the start."

Gu Muxue picked up the bag and distributed some to everyone on their tables.

"Senior, she's already gone through all that, won't you be... "

"She's not a bad person at heart, just a bit mischievous. If you don't mention Xue Rui, you'll find that she's actually quite easygoing."

"Thank you, senior sister."

"You should get along well with Tingting from now on."

Gu Muxue spoke in a very gentle tone, like a parent taking their child to school.

Xue Rui picked a chair and sat down, looking at Gu Muxue with gentle eyes.

The girls in his family are all very gentle; they can treat their rivals in love this way too.

...University of Posts and Telecommunications, male dormitory building, room 622.

The second-year students lived on a different floor than the first-year students. There were no parents picking them up or dropping them off, and the students were all familiar with each other. When a girl came to dormitory 622, the news quickly spread to the other dormitories in the same class.

Especially since Chen Tingting came to see Xue Rui, it made people even more curious. She would drop by room 622 from time to time to catch a glimpse of the pretty junior.

Zhao Chaojie was playing a game at the time, but his skills were already distorted and deformed.

Yesterday, Xue Rui found him a job picking up new students. He was sweltering in the heat and didn't meet many pretty girls. He was treated like an animal.

And what happened? Xue Rui didn't do anything, yet a female student actually came to him.

As the "failure" settlement screen appeared on the screen, Zhao Chaojie found the game utterly boring.

He turned around, his face full of gossip, and asked, "Junior, how did you and Xue Rui meet?"

Zhao Chaojie wanted to ask Xue Rui why he was so popular with women.

Chen Tingting dragged the chair down and sat down, thinking that finally someone had asked her this question.

So she recounted what had happened that night.

The beginning was correct, and the result was correct; it was just that Chen Tingting slightly embellished the process in between.

"You wouldn't believe it, Xue Rui took on ten of them by himself. Those thugs were beaten to a pulp, and Qiu Mengze was terrified."

"Hiss~" Qian Huabiao felt a toothache upon hearing this.

Instinctively, he didn't want to believe it, but these words came from a girl's mouth.

Do girls brag too?

It shouldn't be...

Could it be that Lao Xue is really a master?

Zhao Chaojie frowned as he listened, thinking to himself, "How the hell am I supposed to imitate this?"

Even if I were to encounter a chance to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, I couldn't possibly fight ten of them by myself!
Zhang Xuelun didn't participate in the discussion, but instead quietly sent messages to Xue Rui.

Zhang Xuelun: [Chen Tingting said you were a hero who saved the damsel in distress, taking on ten at once.]

Xue Rui: [Let her brag, but don't drag me into it.]

Zhang Xuelun: [She also said that you fell in love at first sight, and you even came up with a name for your future child, something like Guoguo.]

Xue Rui: [She's spreading rumors! She's slandering me! Kick her out!]

Zhang Xuelun: ["He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's gift is bound to him. How can we accept food from them? Don't you think so?"]

Xue Rui: [What do you want to eat? I'll bring it to you tomorrow. Now, get her out of here.]

Zhang Xuelun: [No, no, no, listening to girls brag is really interesting.]

Xue Rui: [...]

……

On the other end of the phone, Xue Rui and Gu Muxue were having lunch. He handed the phone to Gu Muxue, utterly dejected.
"Mu Xue, I've lived this long, and this is the first time I've felt powerless against fate."

Gu Muxue took the phone and glanced at it, then burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears almost came out.

"Xiao Rui, I didn't know you were so amazing!" Gu Muxue said with a smile.

Xue Rui pinched his brow: "Mu Xue, please stop causing trouble. My head hurts a lot right now."

Gu Muxue gave a bitter smile; wasn't she the same?
Chen Tingting is like a female hooligan, a female rogue.

But how should I put it, they never hide their thoughts, they say whatever comes to mind;
For example, he threatened to steal Xue Rui away;
He also threatened his roommate not to touch Xue Rui's photos;

Or, as it is now, to exaggerate and boast about their experiences with Xue Rui.

Neither of these things seems like something a girl would do.

But Chen Tingting did it anyway, and she did it openly and honestly.

Although it was a headache, Gu Muxue found it hard to feel any dislike for it.

“She’s just like a child,” Gu Muxue said with a smile.

"Yes," Xue Rui also sighed.

He sometimes fantasizes that he would like Chen Tingting to be his own younger sister.

She's adorable, clingy, and idolizes her brother—she's practically the perfect little sister, completely different from my own.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in life. Without the constraints of blood ties, Chen Tingting always harbored improper thoughts about herself.

"Xiao Rui, add her contact information," Gu Muxue said.

"Hmm?" Xue Rui looked at Gu Muxue seriously, realizing that Gu Muxue was not joking.

"Since she's already here, and she went straight to your dorm..."

Gu Muxue rested her chin on her hand, tapping her fingers on the table as if she were thinking about something.

"I don't know what to do with her right now. Since I can't solve it, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you."

Gu Muxue said with a hint of heartache.

Xue Rui swallowed hard, wondering what "wronged" meant.
Before Xue Rui could think further, his thigh was suddenly pinched, sending a sharp pain through him.

"What are you thinking? I'm letting you get to know her so that you, as an elder, can gently guide her. Don't have any bad intentions."

Gu Muxue stared into Xue Rui's eyes as she spoke.

"Mu Xue, don't you understand me? I'm the most honest person." Xue Rui nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Humph!"

Gu Muxue pouted, thinking to herself, what honest man has two girlfriends?
He's just spouting nonsense.

After chatting for a while, the screen on the table lit up again, displaying Lin Ruoxi's name.

Xue Rui and Gu Muxue exchanged a glance, answered the call, and pressed the speakerphone button.

A short while later, Lin Ruoxi's soft, sweet voice rang out:

"Hey, I'm still worried about you. Where are you at school?"

"Xixi, which school did you go to?"

Xue Rui hurriedly pressed for an answer.

"Our school, I'm almost at my dorm, aren't you there?"

Lin Ruoxi sounded somewhat disappointed.

"I'm eating here with Mu Xue. I have Mu Xue protecting me today, so you can go back to work."

"Hmm... I think I saw Chen Tingting."

Lin Ruoxi's voice suddenly turned cold.

"Xixi, wait a minute, I'm coming right away."

Xue Rui stood up instantly, hung up the phone, stuffed it into his pocket, and looked like he had something urgent to do.

Gu Muxue opened her mouth, staring blankly at Xue Rui.

Lin Ruoxi just saw Chen Tingting, why are you so nervous?
Are you so afraid that Lin Ruoxi will suffer a loss?

After calming down, Xue Rui realized that he had been too nervous.

He hesitated for a moment, then obediently sat down, a forced smile on his face:

"I'm afraid Xixi will beat her up, and then we won't be in the right."

"Eat your meal before you leave."

Gu Muxue spoke with a resentful tone, but she still didn't forget to put food on Xue Rui's plate.

Meanwhile, the University of Posts and Telecommunications.

Lin Ruoxi watched Chen Tingting's departing figure, feeling extremely conflicted.

After hesitating for a moment, she started her car and followed. (End of Chapter)
