Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 1 The Meaning of Rebirth

2024, Chang'an City.

Jinhanting Club, decorated magnificently, in the Wuzhuxuan box.

Xue Rui lay on the soft foot bath sofa, with endless fatigue in his eyes.

A pretty young woman was carefully scrubbing his size 44 feet, her slender fingers were white and soft.

"Mr. Xue, is the water temperature suitable?"

"Yeah." Xue Rui reeked of alcohol, yawned, and a few tears squeezed out of the corners of his eyes.

He resisted the urge to sleep and took out a dozen red bills from his bag and placed them on the table next to him:
"Huihui, the New Year is coming soon. This is the New Year's money for your son."

"Thank you, Mr. Xue! Mr. Xue is so generous..." The woman thanked him repeatedly.

Xue Rui is a senior member of this club. Every time he comes, he orders No. 66, Wang Huihui. It has almost become a habit.

He and Wang Huihui are actually college classmates, but their current social status is very different.

"Mr. Xue is almost 30 and still not married. Aren't you lonely?"

As Wang Huihui spoke, she applied a little more strength to the foot she was holding.

"Get married? How dare you, a divorced person, say that?" Xue Rui cursed with a grin, enduring the pain in the soles of his feet.

However, Xue Rui had to admit that Wang Huihui was right.

He spends almost half of the 365 days of the year in private rooms in various clubs...

Because every time he sat alone in the 350-square-meter apartment, an endless sense of emptiness and loneliness seemed to swallow him up, making him suffocated.

Anyway, Xue Rui is alone and it doesn't matter where he sleeps. He can eat and take a shower in the club, and there are girls who know how to listen and he can talk about his youthful days.

"Ding ding ding." Xue Rui's cell phone rang. He pinched his eyebrows and put on a fake smile as if by muscle memory.

"Mr. Wang, yes, yes, it's in Liangbao Building..."

It was very busy before the New Year, as he had many bills waiting for him to settle, and he was exhausted from rounds of social engagements.

Before Xue Rui finished his call, his other cell phone rang. He glanced sideways and saw that it was his mother calling.

"Mr. Wang, please give me some face. I won't come home until I'm drunk tomorrow night..."

Xue Rui said some polite words with a smile, put down his foldable phone, and picked up another Apple phone.

After taking a deep breath, he pressed the answer button. As if he had anticipated the emotions of the person on the other end of the phone, he deliberately put the phone farther away.

As he expected, a roar came from the phone:

"Xue Rui! The New Year is just a few days away, and you're another year older! Have you found a partner? It's always next year, next year. I want to see if you keep your promise this year..."

It’s not that Xue Rui didn’t want to look for the right person, but after he left school he realized that the seed of love seemed to be able to take root and sprout only in the soil of the campus. If it was planted in the outside world, it would only grow into copper coins full of the smell of rust.

"Xue Rui, are you listening?"

Xue Rui was already used to it. He turned down the volume of the phone and put it on the table, letting his mother on the other end of the phone vent her emotions.

Suddenly, Xue Rui felt a palpitation in his heart, as if his chest was blocked by something and he had difficulty breathing.

"Oh no!" Xue Rui felt something was wrong. He often watched TikTok and knew that this might be a precursor to sudden death.

"Quick! Call an ambulance." Xue Rui's chest heaved violently. He propped himself up and walked forward with the two cell phones.

Wang Huihui's face changed drastically. She hurriedly reached out to take the phone that Xue Rui handed over, but she only heard two "thumps";
The two valuable smartphones fell into the foot basin, and Xue Rui completely lost consciousness.

Xue Rui used the last bit of his consciousness to dispose of the two mobile phones.

He didn't know whether he could be rescued, but in short - he had to keep his innocence in this world.

……

……

"Xue Rui! Wake up! The teacher is here."

Xue Rui's head was shaken until he felt dizzy. He raised his head with difficulty and thought that he was most likely lying on a hospital bed. Who was this subordinate next to him? He was so rude. He must deduct his year-end bonus.

"Ding ding ding." The rhythmic sound of high heels slowly approached.

Xue Rui subconsciously put out his hand to block the light in front of his eyes, allowing his eyes to slowly adapt to the surrounding environment.

When he slowly opened his eyes, he found that his aunt Xue Xiaying was looking down at him with a serious face.

Xue Xiaying was wearing a clean white shirt and had her hair tied up, looking very capable. She looked much better than when he saw her last year.

"It's Chinese New Year, why are you here in Chang'an?"

"You look a lot younger after divorcing that scumbag, just like when you were my class teacher." Xue Rui joked. Xue Xiaying's face became colder and colder. She grabbed Xue Rui's ear and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Students, look at our class's sleepyhead. I've only been in the meeting for ten minutes, and he's already lost in thought about Chang'an City. Xue Rui, have you seen Yang Yuhuan?"

"Hahahaha..." A burst of noisy laughter broke out all around.

Xue Rui was lifted up by Xue Xiaying. He rubbed his eyes violently and looked at the surrounding environment.

Surrounding him were students all wearing white sports T-shirts with the words "Hedong No. 2 Senior High School" written on their backs.

He glanced at the table and saw a pile of thick new books without even any names on them. On the top was a pink-covered Physics Elective 3-1.

Xue Rui realized that he seemed to have returned to high school. It was probably the end of August 2012, the first day of the second year of high school when students were divided into arts and science classes.

The students around looked at Xue Rui and burst into laughter. Some of them even couldn't help but clapping their hands on the tables. The classroom was in great chaos.

Xue Xiaying leaned close to Xue Rui's ear and said coldly, "Did I tell you that you are not allowed to call me aunt at school. You have to address me by my position."

He knew Xue Xiaying's temper when she was young, and didn't give Xue Rui time to think. He subconsciously shouted: "Teacher, I was wrong!"

His high school homeroom teacher was her aunt, and under her aunt's "persuasion", he chose science and "happened" to be assigned to Xue Xiaying's class.

"Everyone, be quiet. This episode is over." Xue Xiaying glanced around the classroom with her sharp eyes, and everyone instantly calmed down.

This is the aura that belongs unique to the head teacher. Just a look or a gesture can create a pressure that students cannot resist.

"Xue Rui, please come to the stage and introduce yourself." Xue Xiaying walked slowly to the podium.

"Me?" Xue Rui pointed at himself in disbelief. He looked at his deskmate Qiu Mengze with a questioning look.

To be honest, after more than ten years, Xue Rui had no impression of these classmates, and could only call out the names of a few of them;
But Qiu Mengze still remembers that he was a close friend from childhood, and that they had played together in the toilet, set off firecrackers, skipped classes to surf the Internet, and played slacking off...

Qiu Mengze stared at the blackboard without moving his lips. As if he had learned some poor ventriloquism, he made a tiny, hoarse sound from his throat: "Everyone in the class, introduce yourselves. It's your turn."

"Do I need to introduce myself?" Xue Rui said with a carefree smile.

Although he didn't remember these classmates, given the "fame" he gained during high school, there should be few people in the school who didn't know him.

"Stop talking nonsense and come up!" Xue Xiaying ordered in an irresistible tone.

Xue Rui had not yet fully accepted the reality. He walked slowly from the last row to the podium and wrote the two big words "Xue Rui" on the blackboard with the side of a piece of chalk.

Xue Rui wrote his name very large. There were only two characters, but it took up two whole pieces of chalk and occupied one-third of the blackboard.

Some female students in the audience were stunned, while some male students nodded in admiration;

The one with the calmest expression was Qiu Mengze. He knew Xue Rui too well and this was Xue Rui's style.

"My name is Xue Rui. Is there anyone who doesn't know me? We can have a good exchange and improve our relationship."

Xue Rui patted the chalk dust off his hands and said with a smile.

"You're so embarrassing. Go stand at the back door of the classroom!" Xue Xiaying couldn't help but kick Xue Rui and kicked him off the podium.

"next."

"Hello everyone, my name is Li Lingling, and I'm from Class 6, Grade 1."

"My name is……"

In fact, most of these students knew each other in their first year of high school, and their classes were disrupted again after the division of majors in their second year of high school.

In order to speed up the integration of the class, Xue Xiaying introduced herself like this.

Xue Rui stood at the back of the classroom, his back against the wall, looking down and thinking about what was going on and why he had returned to high school.

A thin figure passed by his peripheral vision. Xue Rui thought this person was very strange, wearing a long-sleeved school uniform in 36-degree weather.

"My name is Lin Ruoxi." Lin Ruoxi's voice was so soft that many students listened attentively.

"What? I can't hear anything even though I'm sitting in the second row." A girl muttered.

"Lin Ruoxi." Lin Ruoxi's voice was trembling, but obviously louder.

"What? Can't hear it!" a male student cheered.

When Xue Rui heard the name, he looked up suddenly and saw a tall and thin girl standing on the podium.

It was clearly a hot summer day, but she was wearing a loose autumn school uniform that didn't fit her well. The uniform was so big that it seemed like it could fit two of her. Her hair was like black satin, long, smooth and shiny.

But she kept her head down, her bangs completely covered her eyes, and her hair on both sides also hung down, making it impossible to see her face clearly.

Xue Rui stared at Lin Ruoxi on the podium, his heart beating faster and faster.

"Perhaps, this is the meaning of my rebirth at this time."
