Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Lin Ruoxi stood on the terrace, staring blankly at the furnishings.

There are three lounge chairs on the terrace, each separated by a small round table, and it seems that no adjustments are needed.

However, Xue Rui must have had a deeper purpose in asking her to tidy up the terrace.

Lin Ruoxi tilted her head and examined the furnishings for a long time, then suddenly felt that the arrangement here was unreasonable:
The gaps between the recliners were too large; she couldn't hug Xue Rui's arm, let alone kiss his face.

So, Lin Ruoxi removed the small round table, put the two recliners together perfectly, and dusted off the recliners with satisfaction.

When Lin Ruoxi looked up, she saw the remaining recliner sitting there all alone, and her lips drooped slightly.

If only there were only two chairs...

However, thinking that Xue Rui would be very happy, Lin Ruoxi still smiled with her eyes crinkling.

"Ugh, it's too cold outside, and the blanket on the deck chair is too thin."

Lin Ruoxi felt that the hotel's arrangements were unreasonable, so she turned and walked towards her room.

……

So, when Xue Rui and Gu Muxue went to the balcony, this is what they saw:
Three recliners were pushed together to form a "big bed," with a small round table on each side of the bed, on which some snacks and fruits were placed. The snow-white sheets were particularly eye-catching.

Xue Rui touched the thick quilt and thought to himself that the little girl was indeed a genius, able to make the best arrangements using the surrounding objects.

"Xiao Rui, is this a bed?" Gu Muxue asked uncertainly, bending down to see the outline of three recliners.

"It's not a bed, didn't you see there's an armrest?" Xue Rui patted the middle armrest, finding it very in the way.

As she spoke, Lin Ruoxi brought out another quilt.

"It's too cold outside. You should go inside and warm up. I'll call you when the fireworks start," Lin Ruoxi said, covering the recliner with another blanket.

Gu Muxue smiled helplessly and stepped forward to help Lin Ruoxi.

Seeing this, Xue Rui took a step back. The little girl and the little girl worked together very well, each holding a corner of the blanket and covering the recliner with it.

Gu Muxue's eyes were filled with reminiscence. She remembered when Xue Rui went to the girls' dormitory to make her bed at the beginning of her freshman year, but she was no longer the little girl who was clumsy even when making a bed.

Lin Ruoxi quickly laid out her side and winked at Xue Rui with expectant eyes.

Xue Rui chuckled; the little girl was waiting for praise.

He walked over, reached out and patted Lin Ruoxi's head, and said softly, "You did a great job."

"Hehe~" Lin Ruoxi lowered her head and gently rubbed her head against Xue Rui's palm, enjoying Xue Rui's caress.

Gu Muxue looked at the two of them with gentle eyes. Xue Rui was too domineering, while Lin Ruoxi was unbelievably submissive.

Come to think of it, they're quite a good match.

Suddenly, a bright golden light ignited the night sky, followed by a thunderous roar.

The second fireworks display began.

Lin Ruoxi hurriedly lifted the blanket to make way for Xue Rui: "Rui, you lie in the middle."

After lying down, Xue Rui patted the spot to his right and grinned at Gu Muxue: "Muxue, this spot is for you."

Gu Muxue pouted and slowly crawled inside.

Xue Rui's heart skipped a beat. Although it wasn't a proper bed, once you've experienced it, it will be easier to accept it psychologically in the future.

The dream of having women on both sides is coming true.

Because the little girl is very obedient, even if she is unwilling, she will agree to anything he asks.

Xue Rui reached out and tucked the blanket under the little girl's neck, then pulled her head onto his shoulder, whispering, "Mu Xue, lean closer to me, it's too cold."

Gu Muxue's neck stiffened slightly. She subconsciously glanced at Lin Ruoxi and saw that Lin Ruoxi was rummaging through a plastic bag.

So she gently rested her head on Xue Rui's shoulder, her little hand under the blanket quietly reaching across the armrest of the recliner.

Xue Rui was taken aback for a moment, then a gentle smile appeared on his face.

That's how Xiao Ni is. She appears cold on the surface, but she actually has a girlish shyness inside. She is more reserved than other girls and can only let herself go in a "safe" environment.

Gu Muxue perceived the place where Lin Ruoxi was as an "unsafe" environment.

Now the blanket covers the three of them, so the little girl can't see what the little girl is doing down there.

Actually, Xue Rui's other hand was intertwined with Lin Ruoxi's...

"Xiao Rui." Gu Muxue pulled a grape from the small round table and brought it to Xue Rui's lips.

Xue Rui was somewhat flattered, and he opened his mouth: "Ah~"

Gu Muxue suddenly pulled her fingers back: "Hold it with your other hand."

Xue Rui chuckled: "It's busy."

"Hmph!" Gu Muxue glared fiercely and violently shoved the fruit into Xue Rui's mouth.

What do you mean I'm busy? I'm just playing with Lin Ruoxi.

Xue Rui swallowed it whole, then opened his mouth again, gesturing for the little girl to give him another one.

Suddenly, Xue Rui felt a tickle in his arms. He looked down and saw the little girl leaning to one side, rubbing her head against his chest, and feeding him a peeled orange segment.

"Rui, this isn't sour." Lin Ruoxi's voice was soft and sweet.

Xue Rui squeezed Lin Ruoxi's hand with his left hand, suddenly wondering how the little girl peeled the orange.

He swallowed the orange in one gulp and mumbled, "Xixi, can you peel it with one hand?"

"Hmm, your mouth can also help." Lin Ruoxi said, peeling another one for Xue Rui.

Gu Muxue looked disappointed upon hearing this, and she gradually loosened her grip, preparing to pull her hand away from Xue Rui's.

However, in just a moment, Xue Rui grasped her hand again.

Gu Muxue suddenly looked up and found that Xue Rui was still talking to Lin Ruoxi.

"Xi Xi, peel one orange with one hand while you watch the fireworks. I don't want to eat oranges that are full of saliva." Xue Rui found something for Lin Ruoxi to do to pass the time.

Because the girl was unhappy, he had to take this opportunity to coax her.

He had actually noticed it earlier; the girl was in a bad mood today and immediately misunderstood that he and Lin Ruoxi didn't want to play with her.

Then came a fireworks display to celebrate Lin Ruoxi's birthday.

Even the most magnanimous girl will eventually be pushed to her limit.

The little girl has held back her temper until now, making her the most emotionally stable girl she has ever met.

She's much more stable than a little girl; if it were a little girl, she would have started secretly crying long ago.

Xue Rui turned his head and lowered his head to kiss the little girl on the cheek, but the little girl reacted quickly and almost instantly turned her head away, staring blankly at the fireworks in the sky, her expression unreadable.

Xue Rui's heart skipped a beat. This was exactly what he feared most. There was no greater sorrow than a broken heart, and he absolutely could not let Xiao Ni down.

So, Xue Rui stared at Gu Muxue's face without moving, trying to attract the girl's attention.

Gu Muxue kept her eyes fixed on the sky, but her peripheral vision kept glancing at Xue Rui.

Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer: "Xiao Rui, why are you looking at me? Aren't the fireworks beautiful?"

"Fireworks are beautiful, of course." Xue Rui remained unmoved. "Then let's watch the fireworks." Gu Muxue's nose tingled with tears. She pushed Xue Rui's face away and buried half of her face in the blanket.

She didn't want Xue Rui to see her looking aggrieved and petty; she hated that side of herself.

But she was really heartbroken; she thought Xue Rui would say she was prettier than fireworks…

Xiao Rui, have you changed?
“But the fireworks in your eyes are even more beautiful,” Xue Rui said earnestly.

Gu Muxue's lips curled up slightly. She blinked quickly, brought her face close to Xue Rui's neck, and gently bit him: "You bastard, all you do is bully me."

Gu Muxue lowered her voice to a whisper, afraid that Lin Ruoxi, who was not far away, would hear it.

She glanced in Lin Ruoxi's direction, where Lin Ruoxi was practicing peeling an orange with one hand...

With a "pfft," Gu Muxue was amused. Lin Ruoxi was really adorably silly, and she would listen to whatever Xue Rui said.

But as she laughed, she suddenly thought of herself; wasn't she the same?
"Sigh~" Gu Muxue sighed deeply.

It's said that girls who fall in love become silly.

Perhaps this is what love is like: it's about compromise and fulfillment.

A firework slowly faded away, giving the sky a brief respite. Gu Muxue tilted her head back and gazed quietly into Xue Rui's eyes.

Xue Rui swallowed hard. The girl's humble demeanor was incredibly alluring, her eyes seemingly filled with a sky full of stars. He leaned down slightly, and Gu Muxue cooperated by slowly closing her eyes.

Just as the two were about to touch, an untimely voice rang in their ears: "Rui, I finished peeling it with one hand!"

Gu Muxue suddenly opened her eyes and found Xue Rui frowning deeply, looking very conflicted.

"Go ahead, it's her birthday in a few minutes," Gu Muxue said softly.

Xue Rui smiled apologetically, turned around and took the orange that Lin Ruoxi had peeled, saying indistinctly, "Xi Xi, peel another one."

"Okay, sure," Lin Ruoxi said joyfully.

Xue Rui turned his head, put the orange that the little girl had peeled to the little girl's mouth, and winked at her with a smile.

Gu Muxue was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but find it amusing.

Xue Rui often did this, finding a bunch of boring things for Lin Ruoxi to pass the time.

In fact, Lin Ruoxi and Xue Rui have a better understanding in life, but they also have a better understanding in spirit. Many times, they only need a glance to understand each other.

"Mu Xue, check what time it is now," Xue Rui asked in a low voice.

Gu Muxue did not answer, but simply presented her right wrist to Xue Rui.

"Hmm?" Gu Muxue glared at Xue Rui, then put her watch away and looked at it herself. It was already 12:5 a.m.

Gu Muxue glanced inside, as if to say: It's already Lin Ruoxi's birthday, why haven't you brought the cake yet?
Xue Rui chuckled and said to Lin Ruoxi, "Xixi, I'm going to the restroom."

"Well, then you can leave from my side," Lin Ruoxi said, making room for Xue Rui.

"No need, you keep peeling your oranges, I'll go out from Mu Xue's side." Xue Rui said, straightening up and slowly stepping over Gu Mu Xue.

However, the girl didn't give him her seat, so Xue Rui took advantage of her as he passed by, treating it as a toll.

Gu Muxue clutched her chest and glared fiercely. She suddenly felt that she couldn't let Xue Rui off so easily.

She gritted her teeth, wrapped her arms around Xue Rui's neck, closed her eyes, and leaned in.

Xue Rui's eyes widened suddenly. He was just passing by, yet he was being charged a "toll"?
Xue Rui smiled, the little girl thought she had gotten the better deal, but actually she was the one who had turned her face red with embarrassment...

A subtle orange flavor spread between my lips and teeth; the oranges tasted quite good today.

Lin Ruoxi, standing to the side, stared blankly. She didn't understand why things had turned out this way; she had only been peeling oranges for a while.

After a long while, Xue Rui was pushed away by Gu Muxue, who blushed.

"What do you mean?" Xue Rui asked with a smile.

"Hmph! I'll get my revenge on you." Gu Muxue looked sullen.

"Hmm, give me more of this kind of revenge in the future." Xue Rui pinched Gu Muxue's waist again and immediately ran away.

After Xue Rui left, Lin Ruoxi still stared blankly at Gu Muxue.

Gu Muxue felt uncomfortable being stared at: "Why...why are you looking at me like that? Don't you always do that?"

Lin Ruoxi nodded blankly. She felt very uncomfortable when she saw Gu Muxue and Xue Rui kissing.

However, Lin Ruoxi felt that it was probably her own problem, and she would get used to it in the future.

"Mu Xue, I...I have something I want to discuss with you," Lin Ruoxi said haltingly when Xue Rui was not around.

"Okay, go ahead." Gu Muxue knew what it was without even thinking; it was simply about who would go to Xue Rui's house for the New Year.

Suddenly, Xue Rui's footsteps approached, and their conversation came to an abrupt halt.

Xue Rui placed the cake at his feet, gripped the walkie-talkie, and shouted:
“Dongguai, Dongguai, I am Dongyao.”

As soon as Xue Rui finished speaking, a crackling white noise came from the walkie-talkie, accompanied by a hoarse human voice:
"Got it, please speak."

Lin Ruoxi and Gu Muxue turned around at the same time, looking at Xue Rui with puzzled expressions.

Lin Ruoxi wondered why Xue Rui was holding a walkie-talkie and who he was playing games with.

Why didn't you give her one?

Gu Muxue was puzzled: after a whole night of fireworks, what other surprises were there?
Xue Rui winked at the two men and pressed the intercom: "Ignite."

"receive."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Rui stretched out a finger and pointed to the horizon not far away.

Lin Ruoxi and Gu Muxue turned around at the same time, and countless streams of light shot up from the ground and pierced the night sky.

As the speed of the light gradually slowed down, they both held their breath.

How beautiful it would be if so many fireworks went up in the sky at the same time?
They both thought the same thing at the same time.

Those few seconds felt like an eternity.

Dozens of streams of light stopped abruptly at their highest point, then quietly spread out a curtain of light.

The previous fireworks displays were already impressive in size, attracting many people to stand in the square until dawn. Now, they are being launched simultaneously on a scale dozens of times larger, with a curtain of light covering the sky, turning the night into day...

In an instant, their eyes widened simultaneously, and they were speechless.

Thousands of emerald sparks rained down, like willow branches drooping over the clouds, or like a goddess scattering fragments of jade from the Milky Way. Lin Ruoxi stared blankly, her eyes reflecting the myriad shimmering lights...

Fireworks soared into the sky in waves, the explosions were deafening, and cheers erupted from the square below.

When the words "Happy Birthday" appeared in the sky, Xue Rui shouted:

"Xixi, happy birthday! They're all celebrating your birthday."

Gu Muxue looked at Lin Ruoxi with envy. She knew very well how complicated the procedures were for setting off large fireworks. Xue Rui spared no expense and effort just to celebrate Lin Ruoxi's birthday.

Lin Ruoxi was breathing rapidly; she was so excited she didn't know what to say.

Another wave of fireworks rose into the sky, spreading out a candle pattern in the air. Xue Rui leaned close behind Lin Ruoxi, holding a small cake in his hand, one eye slightly narrowed, aligning the cake with the candle pattern in the sky:
"XiXi, blow out the candles and make a wish." (End of Chapter)
