Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

The location of the Internet cafe in the university town is not particularly good. There are cars parked on both sides of the road. The young couples coming and going cannot even walk shoulder to shoulder. They have to separate from time to time to avoid the flow of people, but the hands of the big and the small have never separated.

"so cold."

"Let's go eat hotpot." The boy reached out and rubbed the girl's ears.

"Don't spend money recklessly. Don't you have to buy a ticket home soon?"

"We'll talk about it later. Today is New Year's Eve, why don't you just not go back to the dorm?"

The girl shyly hit the boy on the chest and whispered:
"Then I'll tell my roommate."

……

Gu Muxue stood under the dim street lights, looking at the couples passing by, her eyes full of envy.

If Lin Ruoxi wasn't there, then she and Xue Rui would probably be like this too...

It would be nice if Xue Rui was still the playful little boy he used to be.

It would be better if we weren’t so rich, so that things would be the same as before.

In her mind, she imagined the scene where Xue Rui asked her to buy snacks.

Xue Rui begged her eagerly: "Mu Xue, I want to eat this."

Then she can put her hands on her hips and say confidently: "I'll buy you the one with the nicest voice."

……

Unfortunately, she could only think about these.

Today Xue Rui introduced her to his friends. Logically, she should be very happy, but the reality is that she was ostracized by Xue Rui's friends.

Thinking of this, Gu Muxue couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat and stomped her feet on the ground angrily.

Lin Ruoxi looked after Gu Muxue for a long time and she didn't come back. She stood on the side of the road with her neck tilted up in a daze, stamping her feet from time to time, as if she was very cold.

She took out the scarf, got out of the car, walked to Gu Muxue, and wrapped the scarf around Gu Muxue.

Gu Muxue was stunned for a moment, buried her face deeply in the scarf, and looked at Lin Ruoxi with her eyes exposed.

Somehow, she said in an inexplicable way: "Ruoxi, Xiaorui confessed to me first, right?"

Lin Ruoxi bit her lip. She remembered clearly that Xue Rui had been pursuing Gu Muxue when they were in high school.

But...but Xue Rui has been with her for a long time, and they are inseparable almost every day.

Xue Rui would be very upset if he had an argument with Gu Muxue.

"Well, I came later than you."

Lin Ruoxi nodded, thinking that Gu Muxue must have been wronged in some way, so she should just give in.

It doesn't matter whether it's early or late, as long as Xue Rui is by her side.

Gu Muxue had a smile in her eyes. There would always be someone who would tolerate her unreasonable behavior, no matter if it was Xue Rui or Lin Ruoxi.

At least, she had a friend she could confide in.

"Okay, I'm just kidding, don't be nervous."

Gu Muxue held Lin Ruoxi's hand and patted it, and whispered:
"Winter vacation will start soon. I'm going to stay at my grandma's house for a while. I may not return to Hedong until after the New Year. Please take good care of Xiao Rui and don't let him come to this smoky and dirty place again..."

"Really?" Lin Ruoxi's eyes lit up.

Gu Muxue smiled dumbly: "Are you happy that I'm gone?"

"Well, very... very happy." Lin Ruoxi felt very guilty, and she spoke out her true feelings without realizing it.

"You're a loser. You owe me." Gu Muxue pinched Lin Ruoxi's fingers.

"Then how can I pay it back to you?" Lin Ruoxi asked weakly. She was afraid that she couldn't afford it.

"talk about it later."

……

Xue Rui came out from the back door of the Internet cafe, holding two strings of candied haws he had just bought. From a distance, he saw the two of them holding hands, and Lin Ruoxi also had a smile in the corner of her eyes.

This scene is rare. There is less restraint between the two of them, and it feels like they are good girlfriends.

It's a good thing for him, a symbol of family stability.

"Mu Xue, Lao Zhang said he wants to apologize to you. I'll take you in to listen." Xue Rui handed over a string of candied haws.

"No, am I that stingy?"

Gu Muxue shook her head. Someone had already apologized to her.

Xue Rui thought, aren't you the most stingy one? The resentful expression on your face just now clearly showed that you suffered a great loss.

"If you keep looking, I'll bite you." Gu Muxue threatened with bared teeth.

"Bite it." Xue Rui rolled up his sleeves with a smile and put it to Gu Muxue's mouth.

Gu Muxue slowly grabbed Xue Rui's arm: "Xiao Rui, did I really bite you?"

She looked around and found that Xue Rui looked like he was going to die bravely, while Lin Ruoxi was anxiously trying to say something.

Gu Muxue smiled, she grabbed Xue Rui's wrist and bit the candied haws hard.

Xue Rui smiled and handed another candied haws to Lin Ruoxi: "Here, this is yours."

Lin Ruoxi took it with a smile. She gently took off the candy wrapper on the candied haws and handed it to Xue Rui: "You take the first bite."

Xue Rui smiled, bit off a hawthorn, and put his arm around the little girl's shoulders.

Suddenly, Gu Muxue quickened her pace and distanced herself from the two men.

"Rui, go and accompany Mu Xue. She seemed unhappy just now." Lin Ruoxi said in a low voice.

Xue Rui lowered his voice and asked, "Xixi, something's wrong with you today."

Normally, Lin Ruoxi would like to stick to him all day long, so why would she take the initiative to give time to Gu Muxue?
The sun really came out in the west.

In fact, Lin Ruoxi had just calculated in her mind that Gu Muxue would leave at the end of the month for the holiday, and she could have Xue Rui all to herself for a long, long time.

However, she did not explain. Instead, she took Xue Rui's hand, jogged a few steps, pushed Xue Rui to the back seat of the car, and she opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

"Xiao Rui, it seems like you haven't been home since the start of school." Gu Muxue asked.

Xue Rui thought that he didn't go home, and Ren Qunfang was just angry that he didn't go home;

If she went home, Ren Qunfang would have a lot to be angry about.

"If I go home, my mother will be too hard-working." Xue Rui said with a distressed look on his face.

Yu Minlan was surprised for a moment, and she flattered him casually: "Mr. Xue is really filial, you don't want to see your mother tired, right?"

Gu Muxue couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Rui, are you afraid of being beaten?"

"Mu Xue, you are wrong. I am just worried that my mother's hand will hurt." Xue Rui said shamelessly.

Gu Muxue laughed so hard that her body shook with laughter. The unhappiness she had just felt in the Internet cafe was swept away. She reached out and pinched Xue Rui's ear and asked, "I haven't asked you yet. You have so many computers at home, why do you come to the Internet cafe to play?"

"There is still food at home. Some people still go out to eat out. Eating is about the atmosphere." Xue Rui chose the simplest explanation.

"You only know how to play games." Gu Muxue snorted coldly.

Xue Rui had a look of reminiscence on his face, as he recalled the days when he played with stone men in his previous life.

"Mu Xue, it's not that I like playing games, but after I'm older, there's no one to play with me..."

Xue Rui spoke out what was in his mind, saying that the game required too much configuration and it was only fun to play with someone.

I was so excited about getting a pentakill, but when I turned around to show off to the people around me, I found that there was no one there.

Post to Moments?
Forget it, we are no longer the young men we were back then...

Play more games while you are still a student, because after graduation you will no longer have any interest in games, which is commonly known as electronic impotence.

Gu Muxue stared at Xue Rui blankly. The emotion and loneliness in Xue Rui's words just now were like a middle-aged man reminiscing about his youth.

She didn't know why Xue Rui made such a comment, but she didn't refute it.

Lin Ruoxi turned her head and said, "Rui, I'll play with you after graduation."

Xue Rui smiled and didn't say much.

Did he play games when Lin Ruoxi was alone with him?
The answer is never.

Gu Muxue forced a smile. After graduating from college, would she still be able to eat candied haws happily like she did today?

Xue Rui pinched his brows, this is the disadvantage of having two relationships at the same time, when talking about the future, the atmosphere always becomes heavy.

"Park at the stadium. I'll go in and take some pictures and then leave. You guys go back first."

"Then I'll leave the car to you."

Xue Rui took photos with Secretary Li as planned and drove back home.

The moment he opened the door, the smell of food wafted from the house, and Lin Ruoxi also gathered at his feet.

Xue Rui leaned over and touched Lin Ruoxi's head.

It's like this every time he opens the door. The little girl, like Da Huang, circles around his feet the moment he opens the door.

The little girl had no dignity in front of him. Although it was not like in Japanese dramas where the wife obediently knelt in front of her husband to change her slippers, it was almost the same.

Of course, only him.

"Huh? Why is there still wine at home?" Xue Rui put on his slippers and walked to a pile of original boxes of Moutai.

"Bring it home with you for the New Year. I'm going to stay in Jiangnan for a while." Gu Muxue's voice came.

Xue Rui opened the wine box, took out a bottle and examined it carefully.

Suddenly, someone pinched his waist, and Gu Muxue's dissatisfied voice came to his ears: "Wash your hands and eat, why are you taking this apart?"

"Mu Xue, I'm afraid you'll be cheated. There are a lot of fakes of this kind of wine." Xue Rui said truthfully.

"Oh." Gu Muxue pouted and didn't apologize to Xue Rui.

"Hiss? Maotai in the Year of the Horse?" Xue Rui said in surprise.

"The wine seller said it was a zodiac edition. I remembered that Uncle Xue was born in the year of the horse, so I ordered two more boxes." Gu Muxue said.

"How much is a box?" Xue Rui asked casually.

Gu Muxue said uncertainly: "It seems to be six thousand?"

"Wow, it's so expensive!" Lin Ruoxi said in surprise.

"What? So cheap?" Xue Rui was equally shocked.

The two people's reactions were completely opposite.

In Lin Ruoxi's mind, six thousand yuan was the family's food expenses for several months...

As for Xue Rui, he once gave a bottle to his father with the money he earned after graduation. He remembered the purchase price clearly. The scalper asked him for 20,000 yuan.

Xue Rui observed carefully and confirmed that these boxes of wine were all authentic.

"Mu Xue, you have a good eye for investment. I think this wine has great potential for appreciation." Xue Rui couldn't help but sigh.

After a few more years, the value of these boxes of wine will be equivalent to a house in a third-tier city.

Gu Muxue thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know much about wine, but the zodiac version has cultural attributes. When the next Year of the Horse comes, the cultural resonance cycle will make it appreciate in value..."

"It just happens to fit the properties of liquor. Liquor is better when it's aged..." Gu Muxue suddenly paused here.

Lin Ruoxi added: "Love is stronger with old times?"

Xue Rui thought that these two people were so educated that they could answer any questions he asked them. But who was the "old guy" and who was the "new guy"?
Another trap?

Xue Rui walked towards the dining table holding the bottle of wine: "Let's eat, and then watch the show."

"No drinking! Put it back." Gu Muxue scolded.

"I'm not planning on drinking. I'm just taking a look." Xue Rui chuckled and finally changed the subject.

……

After dinner, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Xue Rui lay on the sofa, turned on the TV, and placed two pillows beside him.

Xue Rui deliberately did not mention New Year's Eve, because popular culture spreads very quickly among students and is already everywhere on QQ Space and the Universal Campus.

For example, Qiu Mengze posted a message: [Our story should last long, from New Year's Eve to old age, having you for three meals a day and four seasons is enough. ]

Lin Ruoxi and Gu Muxue looked at each other, but neither of them went over.

"Xiao Rui, I'm going to sleep first."

Gu Muxue avoided her gaze, turned and walked into the room.

Lin Ruoxi looked at Xue Rui eagerly. She wanted to spend the last day of 2014 with Xue Rui.

Even though it didn't make any sense, she just wanted to do it.

But Xue Rui slept in her room yesterday, so today Xue Rui should go to accompany Gu Muxue.

Xue Rui swallowed his saliva. Playing two women at the same time always requires multiple-choice questions, but today's questions are easier to answer. He just needs to stay with Gu Muxue and he won't make any mistakes.

"Xixi, the final exam is coming soon. I'm going to ask Teacher Gu to give me some tutoring. If I fail, my mom will beat me."

Xue Rui immediately left after he finished speaking. He didn't dare to look into Lin Ruoxi's pitiful eyes. He was afraid that he would not be able to help but go back to the room with Lin Ruoxi...

Lin Ruoxi looked at Xue Rui's back and always felt that something was wrong.

Isn’t Xue Rui a software engineer?

When did Gu Muxue learn programming?

It should be a public subject...

"Then...then I will teach you professional courses tomorrow." Lin Ruoxi said reluctantly.

"Okay, Teacher Lin, I'll learn C language with you tomorrow." Xue Rui walked into Gu Muxue's room without looking back.

After closing the door, he leaned against it and covered his heart.

Damn, this inexplicable feeling of guilt.

"Xiao Rui, you ran away too?" Gu Muxue lowered her voice.

Xue Rui smiled and dove into Gu Muxue's quilt: "Muxue, you are really considerate."

Lin Ruoxi is often like an innocent child, and her thoughts are almost written on her face.

Gu Muxue pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Oh, then you go and accompany her."

"Mu Xue, that's not what I meant."

Xue Rui's scalp suddenly went numb. Why was Gu Muxue jealous?
Didn't he come here?

"Okay, I'm just kidding." Gu Muxue smiled and reached out to tickle Xue Rui's itch.

Since she and Xue Rui took a step further, what she looked forward to most every day was lying in bed and chatting with Xue Rui, sharing the joys and sorrows of her life;
Or maybe we watch TV series together and complain about the bad guys on TV;

Occasionally, we would be more serious and take a look at the industry trends and talk about career matters.

Gu Muxue held up her phone and said, "Xiao Rui, there is a New Year's Eve fireworks display in Shanghai, but unfortunately there is not one in Chang'an."

Xue Rui was stunned for a moment. He remembered the "fireworks display" he had organized some time ago. Now Xue Jianfeng was urging him to go home to meet clients.

"Mu Xue, I may have to go back to Hedong frequently on weekdays recently."

Xue Rui gave Gu Muxue a shot of prevention in advance.

"Workday?" Gu Muxue looked puzzled.

"Yes, I have a company in our city and it's a major taxpayer. I have to go back recently for some things." Xue Rui found an excuse to evade the question.

"It's convenient to take the high-speed rail. It only takes a few hours to go back and forth." Gu Muxue nodded.

"What I mean is that all the social events are in the evening, and we may have to stay overnight." Xue Rui looked embarrassed.

He didn't dare to say everything. He might have to accompany his leader this time and might have to drink. How could he dare go home drunk?
Gu Muxue pouted: "That's fine..."

"Drip drop~"

Suddenly, an alarm popped up on Gu Muxue's phone.

Xue Rui was stunned for a moment. Just as he was thinking about the meaning of the alarm at 23:58, Gu Muxue's face suddenly changed.

"Do you want to go back and see Chen Tingting? Stand outside for ten minutes as punishment!"

Gu Muxue kicked Xue Rui off the bed without hesitation.

Xue Rui was completely confused. The woman changed her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book, and he had no time to react.

"Mu Xue? Why are you accusing me? I really didn't think so!"

"Why don't you go quickly?" Gu Muxue urged in pretended anger.

Xue Rui came to his senses and realized that Gu Muxue gave the last minute of 2014 to Lin Ruoxi.

He quickly hugged Gu Muxue, gave her a big kiss, and ran out happily.

"Xixi, you have no idea how gentle Mu Xue is."

Xue Rui sighed in his heart. (End of this chapter)
