Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

After leaving Xue Rui's dormitory, Chen Tingting walked with a light, floating gait.

She had already figured out Xue Rui's daily routine from his roommate, so it was only a matter of time before she saw him again.

Looking at the bustling campus, Chen Tingting was lost in thought, suddenly unsure of where to go.

She only has plenty of time today; she'll have to get busy with military training starting tomorrow.

What should I do during this time?

Chen Tingting walked slower and slower, and the black Porsche behind her also slowed down.

Lin Ruoxi sat in the car, watching Chen Tingting's back, feeling very angry.

In Lin Ruoxi's mind, Xue Rui's dormitory was her own territory, and even Gu Muxue had never been there.

But Chen Tingting had just arrived in Chang'an and had already taken over her place, leaving her unsure of what to do.

She wanted to argue with Chen Tingting, but she was worried that she was too clumsy to win the argument.

Xue Rui also told him not to move around and to wait where he was.

But the closer Chen Tingting got to the school gate, the more anxious Lin Ruoxi became.

Give up your dorm room today, give up another one tomorrow, and then you can get a good night's sleep.

Looking around, I saw that Chen Tingting had arrived again.

Chen Tingting's greed was insatiable, and Lin Ruoxi felt she had to do something.

After crossing just one more street, Chen Tingting was about to leave the campus. Lin Ruoxi watched Chen Tingting's retreating figure, her gaze turning sharp.

She took a deep breath, pressed the accelerator hard, and the car emitted a deep roar.

When Chen Tingting heard a car approaching, she instinctively stood still and waited.

Suddenly, the car stopped in front of her, and as the window slowly rolled down, a pair of cold eyes were revealed.

Lin Ruoxi's eyes were devoid of any emotion, cold as if she were looking at a corpse.

When Chen Tingting saw who it was, she instantly shivered.

In her little notebook, Lin Ruoxi was always the "number two rival in love," second only to Gu Muxue in terms of threat.

But now that I look at it, it's not like that at all.

"Get in the car, I want to talk to you."

Lin Ruoxi looked straight ahead, her tone leaving no room for refusal.

Lin Ruoxi thought: It's too hot outside, it's much cooler in the car.

"Why should I listen to you?"

Chen Tingting turned and left in the opposite direction, her steps slightly hurried.

The main problem was that she knew very little about Lin Ruoxi and didn't understand what Lin Ruoxi wanted to do by contacting her.

Lin Ruoxi looked at the rearview mirror, her expression slightly blank.

Was my tone too harsh just now?

Xue Rui once said that you shouldn't give bad people a nice look, otherwise it will make you seem easy to bully.

So, Lin Ruoxi put the car in reverse and followed it by looking in the rearview mirror.

Chen Tingting quickened her pace, and beads of sweat appeared on her temples.

But how could Chen Tingting's two short legs possibly outrun a four-wheeled vehicle?

A few minutes later, the sweltering heat made Chen Tingting feel a surge of anger.

Chen Tingting felt she had been tricked. She stood there angrily, and Lin Ruoxi's car stopped at the same time.

Chen Tingting smoothed her hair and glared fiercely at Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi glanced at Chen Tingting, and felt inexplicably nervous.

Chen Tingting seems angry.

Should I apologize to her?
No, no, Chen Tingting is an "enemy," we cannot bow down to the enemy.

Lin Ruoxi got out of the car and walked step by step toward Chen Tingting.

Chen Tingting glanced around and then steeled herself to go forward.

"What are you doing here? Are you looking for Xue Rui?" Chen Tingting questioned.

Lin Ruoxi blinked blankly, the words she had been preparing for so long were actually spoken by Chen Tingting first.

"Xue Rui is my boyfriend, I should be the one asking you that."

Lin Ruoxi forced herself to stare into Chen Tingting's eyes. She had studied many psychology books and knew that this would put pressure on Chen Tingting.

Chen Tingting looked up at Lin Ruoxi, who was more than half a head taller than her, and felt far more nervous than Gu Muxue.

She couldn't help but sigh, being tall is really an advantage; even when arguing with someone, you're a head taller.

So she looked around, stood on tiptoe at the edge of the green belt, and looked down at Lin Ruoxi, saying:
"You say you're his girlfriend, where's the proof?"

Lin Ruoxi's eyes widened instantly, wondering if evidence was even needed for something like this.

“His roommates all know,” Lin Ruoxi explained.

"No, I asked them just now, and they all denied it. Shall we go back and ask them again?" Chen Tingting spread her hands.

Chen Tingting did indeed hold up her phone and ask around.

Because Xue Rui has two girlfriends, his roommates cooperated by keeping quiet to avoid putting him in a difficult situation.

However, when Chen Tingting said it, it was taken out of context and became: You are not Xue Rui's girlfriend.

Lin Ruoxi carefully observed Chen Tingting's expression and found that Chen Tingting was not flustered at all...

No wonder Xue Rui wouldn't let him move around; Chen Tingting is that formidable.

Chen Tingting is a shameless scoundrel; she can lie without batting an eye.

Lin Ruoxi felt very frustrated.

She was the one who came to question Chen Tingting, but now she felt like Chen Tingting was leading her around.

For a moment, Lin Ruoxi didn't know how to deal with Chen Tingting. Should she really wait for Xue Rui to come over?

But Xue Rui will be here in a while, so how can she stall Chen Tingting?

Suddenly, Lin Ruoxi's ears twitched. She heard a "gurgling" sound, which seemed to come from Chen Tingting's stomach.

Lin Ruoxi immediately turned her gaze to Chen Tingting's stomach, her expression slightly thoughtful.

It's past lunchtime now, hasn't Chen Tingting had lunch yet?
Hmm, how about we treat them to a meal?

But wouldn't that be considered "showing weakness"?

Chen Tingting clutched her stomach, her face instantly turning red, even her ears turned red.

She left around lunchtime, and was only a little hungry at first, but after being chased by Lin Ruoxi in her car for a while, her stomach started growling uncontrollably.

What a huge embarrassment!

Lin Ruoxi looked at Chen Tingting, who was clutching her stomach with her head down, and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

Chen Tingting was so hungry that her stomach ached, yet she was still arguing about whether settling the bill was a "compromise".

Food is the most important thing for people, and Lin Ruoxi believes that it is more important to fill the other person's stomach first.

The nearest place is the cafeteria, but because of the new students starting school, the cafeteria is very crowded, and even the surrounding restaurants are full.

Lin Ruoxi took Chen Tingting's wrist and said in an unyielding tone:

"Get in the car, let me take care of your problem."

"I dont go."

Chen Tingting didn't know what Lin Ruoxi was planning, so she stubbornly refused to get into the car.

But Lin Ruoxi's wrist was like an iron clamp, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pry it open.

She couldn't believe how a girl could have such strength.

This tough stance now makes it seem like they're trying to hold themselves hostage.

After a brief struggle, Lin Ruoxi shoved Chen Tingting into the back seat of the car and slammed the door shut.

Back in the driver's seat, Lin Ruoxi was surprised to find that Chen Tingting was looking at her warily, as if she was afraid of her.

So, Chen Tingting is a bully who preys on the weak?

Lin Ruoxi silently remembered this.

"My dad is a policeman."

Chen Tingting's tone carried a hint of threat.

"I know." Lin Ruoxi thought to herself that Chen Tingting was really strange.

Does the policeman's daughter not eat?

Chen Tingting looked blankly at Lin Ruoxi. Didn't Lin Ruoxi understand what she was threatening?

So she took out her phone, opened the call screen, and held it up in front of Lin Ruoxi: "My dad will contact me later."

However, Lin Ruoxi did not understand Chen Tingting's threat.

Lin Ruoxi's attention was more focused on the phone's battery level; in the upper right corner of the screen, only five percent of the battery remained.

So Lin Ruoxi took the phone, placed it beside her, and plugged it in.

Just as Chen Tingting was about to take it back, she met Lin Ruoxi's sharp gaze.

Lin Ruoxi thought to herself, "The charging power is too low. If the phone can't charge later, how will your dad contact you?"
Lin Ruoxi adheres to the principle of doing more and talking less, because Xue Rui once said that this way, others will not be able to see through her.

However, in Chen Tingting's view, Lin Ruoxi was tantamount to confiscating her phone and preventing her from contacting the outside world.

"Where do you want to take me?"

"You can't speak?"

Chen Tingting received no response and could only recall what Lin Ruoxi had said before: "Let me solve your problem."

Solve my problem?
How to deal with it?

As the scenery outside the window changed and the car gradually moved away from the city, Chen Tingting's heart began to race.

……

"Mu Xue, try some other small dishes next time."

"Let's wait until the weather cools down before having hot pot."

Xue Rui, having eaten and drunk his fill, was chatting with Gu Muxue while enjoying the air conditioning, occasionally glancing down at his phone with a worried expression.

Gu Muxue kept smiling. The more Xue Rui was distracted, the less she let him leave, wanting him to have a good moment to catch his breath.

"Mu Xue, I really should go now," Xue Rui said with a smile.

"go Go."

Gu Muxue pouted and glared at Xue Rui resentfully.

Xue Rui was speechless, thinking to himself, "How can I leave with this attitude?"
"Mu Xue, to be honest with you, I'm a little worried about Chen Tingting." Xue Rui frowned.

"Oh, let me hear it," Gu Muxue said with great interest.

“XiXi has a strong sense of territory. Chen Tingting going to our dormitory is like stepping on XiXi’s tail.” Xue Rui said helplessly.

He just accepted Chen Tingting's friend request, but Chen Tingting hasn't sent a single message for a long time.

This is really not right...

"what?"

Gu Muxue looked bewildered; he realized that Xue Rui seemed to be serious.

"Do you really think she'll do something?" Gu Muxue pressed.

"do not know."

Xue Rui shook his head. It's precisely because he didn't know that he was worried.

If Lin Ruoxi were to take action, he would truly have to compromise with Chen Tingting.

“Okay, go ahead.” Gu Muxue nodded.

……

Lin Ruoxi found a hole-in-the-wall restaurant by the roadside.

Because it is located in the suburbs, the surrounding area is somewhat desolate.

When Lin Ruoxi eats alone, she always chooses restaurants frequented by migrant workers.

Firstly, the price was cheap, and secondly, the portions were large enough to fill her stomach.

Moreover, she was surrounded by migrant worker uncles, which made her feel like she was having a feast in the village, giving her a familiar sense of security.

However, this environment was completely unfamiliar to Chen Tingting.

The greasy plastic menu and the table covered in a layer of black grease looked disgusting.

Chen Tingting glanced at it and saw that Lin Ruoxi was holding a power bank with her phone stacked on top of it.

In Chen Tingting's view, this was a signal that they were unwilling to let her go.

"What, what exactly do you want to do?" Chen Tingting's tone softened.

Lin Ruoxi deliberately avoided the crowd, clearly harboring ill intentions towards her.

Lin Ruoxi was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then took out her phone and sent her location to Xue Rui.

Lin Ruoxi is waiting for Xue Rui.

She realized that she couldn't deal with Chen Tingting. As soon as she opened her mouth, Chen Tingting would start rambling on and on, asking her to prove something.

But as long as Xue Rui comes, everything will be resolved.

Lin Ruoxi chose a seat by the roadside and sat down.

Before long, two bowls of fried noodles, one large and one small, arrived, along with a plate of cold appetizers.

Lin Ruoxi usually orders a single serving of noodles, but today she added a cold dish because Chen Tingting was there.

Chen Tingting's gaze remained fixed on her phone.

Lin Ruoxi naturally noticed Chen Tingting's gaze, so she moved her phone further away and said, "Let's eat."

Chen Tingting ate this meal with trepidation.

She really didn't have much of an appetite and kept thinking about what Lin Ruoxi would do after the meal.

She kept an eye on her surroundings; the area was overgrown with weeds, and stray dogs occasionally passed by.

As for vehicles, there are even fewer.

Why choose such a remote location?

Should I ask someone for help?

But Lin Ruoxi didn't do anything special, she just took me out for a meal.

Lin Ruoxi quickly finished a large bowl of noodles, then stared blankly at the roadside.

Chen Tingting followed Lin Ruoxi's gaze.

After waiting for a while, a Maybach pulled up on the side of the road, and Xue Rui got out of the car under the blazing sun.

Lin Ruoxi's expression, which had been frozen for a long time, finally changed. Her eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile.

She moved the chair aside, instinctively reaching out to help Xue Rui.

However, the moment she stood up, the chair next to her creaked, and Chen Tingting rushed out first.

"You!" Lin Ruoxi shouted angrily. She had already foreseen what would happen next: Chen Tingting would be clinging to Xue Rui's back...

Just thinking about it made Lin Ruoxi feel a little breathless.

However, when Lin Ruoxi shouted, Chen Tingting sped up even more, like a startled rabbit.

Chen Tingting's mind went blank; all she knew was that she would be safe once she reached Xue Rui's side.

Xue Rui had only taken a few steps after getting out of the car when he saw Chen Tingting rushing towards him at a speed that was like a 100-meter sprint.

Before the person even reached him, Xue Rui suddenly felt a dull ache in his ribs.

But upon closer inspection, Chen Tingting's expression was different from what he had expected; she looked flustered, and there were even tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.

Xue Rui's heart skipped a beat.

Did the little girl really do it?
"You finally came!"

Chen Tingting's voice was trembling with tears.

After suppressing her emotions for half an hour, Chen Tingting finally saw familiar faces, and a sense of security welled up in her heart again, almost exactly the same as the feeling she had when Xue Rui rescued her from the thugs.

Chen Tingting missed this feeling, so she ran up behind Xue Rui and hugged him.

Xue Rui didn't dare to refuse, because he wasn't sure if Lin Ruoxi had made a mistake.

"Lin Ruoxi bullied me. She...she confiscated my phone and brought me to this godforsaken place, saying she was going to deal with me."

Chen Tingting tearfully accused Lin Ruoxi of her "crimes".

Chen Tingting peeked her head out from under Xue Rui's armpit, stuck out her tongue at the angry Lin Ruoxi not far away, and made a face. (End of Chapter)
