Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

The little girl's chest rose and fell slightly, as if she had used up all her strength.

People around glanced at it, but didn't take it too seriously, since it's normal for children to make a fuss.

The ticket inspector, who knew the situation, couldn't stop smiling: "This kid is really interesting."

The woman gave Xue Rui an awkward smile, but when she looked at the little girl, her gaze instantly turned cold: "What are you shouting about?"

"I'm afraid of being discovered, so we sneaked in," the little girl shouted.

"You knew you were sneaking in, and you still shouted?" the woman cursed.

The little girl instinctively hid behind Gu Muxue. Every time she saw her mother's gaze like that, she knew she was about to be beaten again.

Xue Rui's gaze was unfocused; the shock of becoming a father was too great for him to process.

"Xiao Rui, stop daydreaming, it's time to go."

Gu Muxue laughed so hard she was shaking. It was the first time she had ever seen such a bewildered and helpless expression on Xue Rui's face.

Xue Rui snapped out of his daze and followed the others toward the platform. He deliberately made a fierce expression, trying to tease the little girl.

However, Gu Muxue stood in front of Xue Rui and said, "Don't bully children."

"Mu Xue, she bullied me first. You're just slandering a young, unmarried man like me!" Xue Rui said shamelessly.

"Xiao Rui, aren't you happy to have gotten a daughter for free?"

Gu Muxue was so angry that her teeth itched. She thought to herself, "How shameless! He actually calls himself a young virgin."

"It is shameful to gain something for nothing!" Xue Ruiyi said righteously.

"Pah! You're being irresponsible, I'm not talking to you anymore."

Gu Muxue spat lightly, leaned forward and glanced at the woman's ticket. They were in the same carriage and their destination was the same station.

"Auntie, let us watch the child for you. It's not convenient for you to be in Building B." Gu Muxue wanted to help them all the way.

The woman eyed Gu Muxue warily, seemingly calculating her identity.

Xue Rui replied in dialect, "Big sister, we're studying in Chang'an. My girlfriend's family is from Xiguan Village. Where are you from?"

"University students, no wonder they're so smart. Now that I think about it, they were hinting at me earlier. I was so stupid, I didn't even understand."

"If there are no seats available at your place later, let the kids come and play here. We didn't bring any luggage anyway."

"Good good."

……

The woman's attitude towards Xue Rui and her attitude towards Gu Muxue formed a stark contrast.

This is the power of familiar accents, especially when traveling far from home; they can quickly bridge the distance and build trust.

The two walked and talked until they found their seats.

Xue Rui bought two seats in the DF section. After finding their seats, neither of them sat down first.

"Xiao Rui, please have a seat."

Gu Muxue spoke up.

Last time, she sat by the window. Xue Rui doted on her, but he couldn't let her sit in the best seat every time.

Xue Rui is the same age as her, but he hasn't seen as many sights as she has.

Xue Rui looked puzzled, and before he could react, Gu Muxue pushed him inside.

"Sit down, sit down. I don't need you to offer me a seat," Gu Muxue said helplessly.

Xue Rui naturally took Gu Muxue's hand, as if he had eaten a strawberry, which was sweet and sour.

Lin Ruoxi usually treats her the same way, but the feeling is very different.

The little girl always looked up at him, placing all her heart and soul on him, which was both meticulous and a little stressful.

Xue Rui opened his phone and reported his itinerary to Lin Ruoxi without any hesitation.

Xue Rui took a picture of the paper train ticket: "Xi Xi, we're on the train. Just pick us up at the high-speed rail station."

Lin Ruoxi: [Mm!]

Gu Muxue sat upright in her chair, keeping a close eye on Xue Rui out of the corner of her eye.

The train slowly pulled out of the station, and Gu Muxue took out her phone, but she didn't know what to do.

Xue Rui was right beside her, yet she felt strangely lonely...

Moreover, she couldn't help but steal glances at Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi's conversations.

Gu Muxue felt this was wrong. She crossed her arms, turned her head to the side, and cursed Xue Rui in her heart:
Damn it! We're meeting in an hour, and you want to chat in that little bit of time?
Xue Rui noticed that Gu Muxue had pulled her hand away. He quickly put away his phone and gently poked Gu Muxue's shoulder: "Muxue? What's wrong?"

"Nothing much." Gu Muxue still didn't turn back.

Xue Rui leaned closer and saw that Gu Muxue's eyes were downcast and her cheeks were puffed up in anger...

This is hardly a problem.

His face clearly said: I'm angry, you'd better coax me.

"Jealous? I'm not talking to her anymore. I just arranged for her to pick us up," Xue Rui said softly.

"Hmph!" Gu Muxue snorted coldly, feeling both ashamed and angry.

Knowing I was jealous, why did you say it out loud?
Damn it, he did it on purpose!

No matter how Xue Rui tried to pry him away, Gu Muxue ignored him completely.

Then the little girl came skipping over, carrying a bag of apples: "Sister, Mom asked me to give you these apples."

"Thank you, what's your name?"

When facing the children, Gu Muxue subconsciously lowered her voice, which was sweet and attracted the attention of many passengers.

Most of these people glanced at the sound, then, seeing Gu Muxue's beautiful face, couldn't help but linger for a while longer, until finally, feeling it was impolite, they reluctantly looked away.

There were all sorts of people on the train, including some who were quite rude, staring intently at Gu Muxue.

Until she noticed a man's hand on the beautiful woman's shoulder...

"Why did you suddenly hug me?" Gu Muxue suppressed a laugh, throwing Xue Rui's earlier question back at her: "Are you jealous?"

"Yes, I'm jealous," Xue Rui answered without hesitation.

Gu Muxue's eyes were full of smiles as she tilted her head back and said, "Since you're honest, I'll wash an apple for you to eat."

Xue Rui glanced around and kissed Gu Muxue on the cheek: "No need, I've already eaten the apple."

A blush visibly rose on Gu Muxue's cheeks. She quickly lowered her head and stammered, "There are so many people."

Xue Rui laughed heartily: "There's no law against kissing your girlfriend in public, is there?"

"Do you think everyone is as shameless as you?"

Gu Muxue glared resentfully at Xue Rui, then turned her head and noticed...
The little girl covered her eyes with her hands, then secretly pried her fingers open a crack, peeking at her and Xue Rui through the gap.

"Little sister, what are you doing?" Gu Muxue couldn't help but ask.

"When Mom watches TV, she always covers my eyes when they're kissing," the little girl said in her childish voice.

With a soft "pfft," Gu Muxue covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Did she tell you why you can't watch it?" Xue Rui asked seriously.

"No, Uncle, do you know?" The little girl shook her head vigorously.

"I don't know, but my sister does," Xue Rui said with a smile, looking at Gu Muxue.

"elder sister?"

The little girl's eyes blinked, her gaze filled with anticipation. Gu Muxue's smile instantly froze on her face.

Xue Rui deliberately posed a difficult question, throwing it back at her...

She pinched Xue Rui's leg lightly and threatened in a low voice, "I'll deal with you when we get back."

"Sister, how are you going to deal with Uncle?" the little girl asked in her childish voice.

Gu Muxue looked out the window. Just a moment ago she wished the car would slow down, but now she couldn't wait to get to her stop...

An hour later, the train slowly pulled into the station. The moment Gu Muxue stepped out of the carriage, she suddenly felt a sense of relief.

"Kids have so many questions," Xue Rui remarked.

"Isn't it because you keep asking questions?" Gu Muxue glared at her and walked towards the exit.

The woman with the child also got off at Chang'an Station, and the group walked towards the exit while chatting.

“We’re taking the subway, it’s not on our way, so you should say goodbye to your older brothers and sisters.”

The woman said to the two children.

"Goodbye, Uncle and Sister," the little girl called out obediently.

Xue Rui squatted down and patted the little girl's head: "Don't shout like that next time, understand?"

Gu Muxue smiled and waved. When she looked up, she saw a tall figure in the crowd.

The woman was wearing a black trench coat and large sunglasses, giving her a very cool appearance.

"Xiao Rui, isn't that Ruoxi?" Gu Muxue felt that she looked familiar, but she couldn't be sure.

Xue Rui glanced at it and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Wearing sunglasses in the underground passage, it's no doubt that it's Lin Ruoxi.

What puzzled Xue Rui was that the little girl clearly saw him, but didn't rush over immediately.

However, just as Xue Rui was thinking this, Lin Ruoxi took off her sunglasses, revealed a sweet smile, and ran towards him with outstretched arms.

Gu Muxue swallowed hard and reluctantly moved a step away.

Passengers around saw the pretty girl walking against the flow of traffic stretching out her hands and couldn't help but turn around and glance into the crowd, wondering which lucky person was so fortunate.

Xue Rui took a deep breath, lowered his body slightly, and caught the little girl's "bear hug" steadily.

"Rui! I miss you so much." Lin Ruoxi closed her eyes and leaned in without hesitation.

"Well!"

Xue Rui's expression was completely different; he suddenly widened his eyes and looked around nervously.

The little girl was too enthusiastic; she didn't even look around to see if anyone was there.

"Mommy, look! Why is Uncle kissing another girl?" The little girl's eyes widened in surprise.

"Shut up, all you ever do is cause trouble with your chatter." The woman dragged the little girl away.

Gu Muxue covered her face and leaned against the wall of the corridor, feeling a mix of emotions.

Lin Ruoxi is so unconcerned about her image, hugging and kissing Xue Rui in the crowd...

And the child even saw through it...

She would glance at the two of them every now and then, feeling an indescribable sadness in her heart.

Xue Rui blushed and pushed Lin Ruoxi away, saying, "Xixi, there are so many people here."

Gu Muxue noticed Xue Rui's unpleasant expression, which made her feel much better.

Hmph, serves you right for bullying me, now you're getting your comeuppance!
"There's no law that says you can't kiss your boyfriend in public, right, Ruoxi?" Gu Muxue said with a smile.

"Yes, no." Lin Ruoxi gave an affirmative answer.

Xue Rui's lips twitched; the boomerang had actually hit him!
"Rui, who was that little girl just now? I... I saw you touch her head," Lin Ruoxi said, pouting.

Xue Rui's eyes widened slightly. So the little girl had been standing there in a daze because she was jealous?

Can't even a pat on the head? What kind of jealousy is this?
“That’s his daughter,” Gu Muxue said with a smile.

"Huh? You...who are you with?" Lin Ruoxi's breathing quickened, and she suddenly became agitated.

"Mu Xue, stop teasing her." Xue Rui patted Lin Ruoxi's head and explained helplessly, "The little girl is ignorant. She shouted at people randomly at the station and called me 'Dad'."

Gu Muxue said with a smile, "You didn't see Xiao Rui's expression. He was like a block of wood, not knowing which way to go."

"Anyone would be stunned by what you're saying," Xue Rui retorted.

A smile played on Gu Muxue's lips; she seemed to have discovered Xue Rui's "weakness."

She put her hands behind her back, looked around, and quietly walked to Xue Rui's side, standing on tiptoe: "Dad."

Xue Rui's body stiffened noticeably, his feelings a mixture of complex emotions and an indescribable sense of relief.

Seeing Xue Rui stunned again, Gu Muxue smiled and said, "Hehe~ Let you bully me."

"Don't shout."

Xue Rui looked like he had suffered a great loss.

In fact, Gu Muxue is always clueless in this regard, and she doesn't even realize that she's been taken advantage of.

If he does the opposite of what Gu Muxue does, he can hear more sounds.

Lin Ruoxi pouted. She had also heard Gu Muxue's voice and felt a little uncomfortable.

There's a strange feeling that Xue Rui has been stolen away, even if it's just a non-existent identity...

So she leaned closer and said softly, "Daddy."

Xue Rui's heart skipped a beat. He slowly turned his head and looked at Lin Ruoxi. The little girl's eyes were still clear.

Lin Ruoxi smiled slightly, hugged Xue Rui's waist, and gently rested her head on Xue Rui's shoulder.

"Sigh~" Xue Rui sighed helplessly, gently stroking Lin Ruoxi's hair.

Gu Qingshan was still alive, so when Gu Muxue called out, it sounded more like a playful remark, and he found it quite pleasant to hear.

But it was different when Lin Ruoxi shouted it out...

Lin Ruoxi could only rely on him in this world, and he was always worried about whether the little girl had eaten or if she was sad or upset...

Watching Lin Ruoxi grow day by day, a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction welled up in my heart...

Many times, Xue Rui felt like he was half a father to Lin Ruoxi...

"Dad?" Lin Ruoxi murmured again.

Lin Ruoxi discovered a "new continent": as long as she called Xue Rui "Dad," Xue Rui would become much gentler.

The number of passengers around them dwindled until finally only three people remained, standing quietly in the underground passage.

Gu Muxue looked at the two of them with a mixture of confusion and envy in her eyes, but she did not say anything to disturb them.

The atmosphere was strange, like that of a couple reunited after a long separation, or like family members who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

She couldn't understand Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi's relationship, but she always felt that the two were a perfect match, extremely perfect, as if it were destined...

"I'm so lucky today, I've gotten three daughters for free," Xue Rui joked.

"Let's go eat." Gu Muxue had only taken a few steps when she noticed her shoelaces were undone.

She looked around, trying to find a place to put the bag of apples down.

"I'll do it," Xue Rui said, bending down to help.

However, Lin Ruoxi acted first, squatting down at Gu Muxue's feet. (End of Chapter)
