Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Gu Muxue's heart pounded wildly. Lin Ruoxi and she had agreed to each give Xue Rui a kiss.

Thankfully the lights were off...

A few seconds later, Gu Muxue quickly turned her face away and ran to turn the lights back on.

As the lights came back on, Xue Rui's thoughts were pulled back to reality.

Xue Rui murmured, touching his cheek. Everything that had just happened was so beautiful, almost unreal.

He was still savoring the feeling from just now; it was a strange and indescribable sensation.

Soon, Xue Rui was plunged into extreme regret. When Lin Ruoxi and Gu Muxue kissed him, his mind went blank, and he actually forgot to pull the two girls into his arms...

What a big loss!

There's only one chance a year, and it's just been wasted like this.

"What just happened? Can we do it again?" Xue Rui asked shamelessly.

"Okay." Lin Ruoxi gave Xue Rui a doting smile and kissed him on the cheek again.

"Xiao Rui, what did you just say?"

Gu Muxue's voice sounded from behind. Xue Rui turned his head and saw that Gu Muxue was holding a long knife, only half a meter away from his neck.

"N-nothing..." Xue Rui gave an awkward laugh.

No, I only made this small request, how did it lead to using a knife?

Gu Muxue held the knife hilt up to Xue Rui and waved it, which startled Xue Rui, causing him to shrink back towards Lin Ruoxi.

"Xiao Rui, what are you standing there for? Cut the cake!" Gu Muxue urged.

Xue Rui looked at the knife clearly; the blade was serrated, and it was a metal cake knife.

He took the cake knife and noticed that Gu Muxue's eyes were filled with reluctance as she kept staring at the cake.

Xue Rui knew that Gu Muxue was reluctant to cut it.

However, Xue Rui didn't expose him. He took out his phone and said, "The cake is really beautiful. Why don't you take a picture with the cake?"

Xue Rui didn't know how long these days could last, but he didn't want to miss a single beautiful moment.

Also, it's time to update your phone wallpaper.

“Okay.” Gu Muxue’s eyes lit up. She thought to herself that Xue Rui was like a mind reader, always able to guess what she was thinking.

She spent the whole afternoon making a cake, and when it was time to cut it, she always felt very reluctant.

Taking a picture before eating definitely makes me feel better.

Xue Rui held up his phone, his gaze focused solely on the screen. Within the viewfinder, the two girls looked unnatural, each looking in a different direction. They tacitly maintained a distance, large enough for another person to sit between them.

"They're too far away, I can't get a shot in." Xue Rui waved his hand, gesturing for the two to move closer.

Lin Ruoxi and Gu Muxue exchanged a glance and slowly moved closer to the center.

"Look at the camera," Xue Rui continued.

"Okay." Lin Ruoxi looked at the camera, unsure where to put her hands. She slowly extended her fingers and made a peace sign.

Xue Rui picked up the flowers on the coffee table and gave one to each of Lin Ruoxi and Gu Muxue.

Sure enough, it looks much more comfortable this way.

With a "click," the image froze on the screen.

The two girls each held a small bouquet of flowers, their gazes towards the camera gentle and tender.

"Quick, let me see it. You cut the cake first," Gu Muxue said excitedly.

Xue Rui chuckled and tossed the phone to Gu Muxue.

Gu Muxue held Xue Rui's phone and examined it carefully, occasionally zooming in on the photos.

Lin Ruoxi tilted her head and admired the view with Gu Muxue.

Suddenly, a message popped up on Xue Rui's phone; the group name was [Dormitory 622].

Qian Huabiao: [@Lao Xue, you're so unfair! You didn't invite us brothers to your birthday party?]

Gu Muxue was stunned for a moment, then relayed her words to Xue Rui, who was cutting the cake.

"How should we reply?" Gu Muxue asked.

Xue Rui looked up, his eyes full of confusion, thinking that he had never told his roommate about his birthday.

For some reason, Xue Rui suddenly had a bad feeling.

What kind of grown man cares about his roommate's birthday?
Does he have such a thoughtful person in his dorm?
"Just reply with a question mark," Xue Rui said casually.

Following Xue Rui's instructions, Gu Muxue replied with a string of large question marks in the dormitory group chat.

Qian Huabiao: [Image]

The picture shows a large birthday cake, which looks to be over ten inches in size.

Zhao Chaojie: [Old Xue, come back quickly! We dare not touch this cake if you don't come back.]

Qian Huabiao: [Hurry up, we guys are dying of hunger.]

Gu Muxue tilted her head and handed the photo to Lin Ruoxi: "You bought this?"

Lin Ruoxi shook her head repeatedly: "It wasn't me."

"Who bought it?" Just as Gu Muxue was thinking, Qian Huabiao sent another picture, this time privately.

Qian Huabiao: [Old Xue, you owe me a big favor this time. I collected the greeting card for the cake ahead of time for you.]

Gu Muxue: [? ? ?]

Qian Huabiao: [Image]

The picture shows a handwritten greeting card. Gu Muxue skipped over the long message of blessings at the beginning and looked at the signature in the lower right corner:
Love, Chen Tingting.

In an instant, Gu Muxue's hand gripping the phone turned white, and Lin Ruoxi also frowned sharply.

Qian Huabiao: [If your girlfriend finds out about this, she'll have a huge fight with you. So you have to treat me to dinner.]

Gu Muxue didn't reply. She opened the dormitory group chat for room 622 and replied:

You guys eat it, this cake isn't mine.

Zhao Chaojie: [If it's not yours, then we won't dare eat it.]

Gu Muxue: [If you're not going to eat it, just throw it away.]

"Oh dear, we can't waste the food."

Lin Ruoxi quickly took the phone: [It's my cake, you guys eat it.]

"Hmm?" Gu Muxue let out a soft exclamation, glancing sideways at Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi quickly added, "【It's our cake, but we don't want it anymore.】"

Zhao Chaojie: [Old Xue, are you still half asleep?]

Qian Huabiao: [Who are we?]

Qian Huabiao astutely grasped the key point.

Xue Rui looked up and found that Gu Muxue and Lin Ruoxi had their brows furrowed tightly and their eyes fixed on his phone.

Xue Rui's heart skipped a beat. He went through all the things he had done recently. Did he have any shady messages on his phone?

no……

"Mu Xue, the cake is delicious." Xue Rui sucked on the cream on his fingers.

Gu Muxue held her phone up to Xue Rui and slowly swiped her finger across it.

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Xue Rui's temple: "This has nothing to do with me. I have no idea about it at all."

"Xiao Rui, don't be nervous. We're not blaming you." Gu Muxue patted Xue Rui's hair.

With a "snap," Lin Ruoxi grabbed Gu Muxue's wrist.

Lin Ruoxi disliked seeing Xue Rui bow his head, especially in front of Gu Muxue.

Gu Muxue's expression froze, and she winked at Lin Ruoxi: "What's wrong?"

"Don't...don't touch my head, it'll stunt my growth," Lin Ruoxi stammered.

“He’s already so tall, and he still wants to grow taller…” Gu Muxue pouted and gave Xue Rui’s head another hard rub.

"you!"

Lin Ruoxi gripped Gu Muxue's wrist tightly.

Xue Rui felt a chill run down his spine. These two were truly incompatible; if things continued like this, they might start arguing.

He smeared some cream on his hand and then smeared it on Gu Muxue and Lin Ruoxi's faces.

The best way to resolve the internal conflict between the two women is to introduce a larger external conflict.

As Xue Rui expected, the two looked at him almost simultaneously.

"Damn it! You guys planned this all along, didn't you?"

Gu Muxue shook off Lin Ruoxi's arm, picked up the cream, and began to attack Xue Rui.

"Slow down."

Lin Ruoxi stood in the middle trying to break up the fight, but didn't dare to fight back against either of them. She just stood there blankly, letting the cream stick to her face. Xue Rui and Gu Muxue exchanged a glance and suddenly lost their mood for fighting.

"Ruoxi, you must fight back." Gu Muxue said sternly.

There needs to be give and take for the game to continue; Lin Ruoxi's actions will make the game fall flat.

Upon hearing Gu Muxue's request, Lin Ruoxi stretched out a finger, scraped a little cream off her face, walked up to Gu Muxue, gently touched the tip of Gu Muxue's nose, and then quickly took a step back, hiding behind Xue Rui.

“I…I fought back,” Lin Ruoxi said crisply.

"hey-hey."

Xue Rui patted Lin Ruoxi's head. The little girl was just too timid and obedient to be taught.

Gu Muxue turned her head away; she simply couldn't bear to look at Lin Ruoxi, whose hair was now covered in cream.

She grabbed Lin Ruoxi's arm: "Let's go take a shower."

"Let's go together," Xue Rui said shamelessly, determined to join them.

Gu Muxue glared at her fiercely: "Eat something first. You can't take a shower on an empty stomach."

As she turned the corner, Lin Ruoxi turned back and gave Xue Rui a sly smile, like a cunning little fox.

"Hiss~" Xue Rui gasped, it was the first time he had ever seen Lin Ruoxi with that expression.

What does the little girl want to do?
Inside the bathroom, steam rose.

Lin Ruoxi hunched her neck and tried to lower her body as much as possible.

Gu Muxue patted Lin Ruoxi on the shoulder: "Stand up straight, you look insecure like that."

"The water is very hot when I stand up straight..." Lin Ruoxi explained, pouting.

Gu Muxue: "..."

Lin Ruoxi seemed to be saying: Gu Muxue, you are too short.

"Um, where are you sleeping tonight?" Lin Ruoxi asked tentatively.

Gu Muxue pouted, thinking to herself that she had gone on a business trip with Xue Rui and then traveled back and forth with him, thus monopolizing Xue Rui's time for several days.

Is Lin Ruoxi now going to settle accounts with her?
Hmm... given Lin Ruoxi's stingy personality, she'll definitely want her to return the time.

"I'll do as you say," Gu Muxue said helplessly.

"Hmm." Lin Ruo's eyes lit up, and she gripped Gu Muxue's shoulders: "You sleep with him."

Gu Muxue's eyes widened instantly. Lin Ruoxi was actually being so generous?
Something was definitely amiss, so Gu Muxue pressed, "What are the conditions?"

"Wear the clothes I bought," Lin Ruoxi said earnestly.

"Ruoxi, I've been going out with him for several days now." Gu Muxue still couldn't accept it.

“You’re too assertive in front of him. If you show weakness once in a while, he’ll be very gentle,” Lin Ruoxi said softly.

Gu Muxue looked around and lowered her voice, "Really?"

If it's really as Lin Ruoxi said, then giving it a try isn't out of the question.

In some ways, Lin Ruoxi understands Xue Rui better than she does...

"Really." Lin Ruoxi nodded emphatically.

“Then…then I’ll listen to you today,” Gu Muxue replied softly.

"Mmm!" Lin Ruoxi squeezed out a large amount of shower gel and rubbed it vigorously in her palms.

"What are you doing?" Gu Muxue asked warily.

"Hmm, let me wash you a little cleaner."

Gu Muxue looked utterly dejected, feeling as if she had been tricked by Lin Ruoxi.

Soon, Gu Muxue shook her head, dismissing the terrible idea.

The adorable Lin Ruoxi is incapable of scheming against others.

After taking a shower, Gu Muxue ran back to the bedroom, not giving Xue Rui a chance to make a move.

Lin Ruoxi slowly walked to Xue Rui's side and whispered in his ear, "Rui, I have a gift for you later."

"What gift?" Xue Rui pressed.

"Hmm, I can't tell you now." Lin Ruoxi left mysteriously, turning back every three steps to remind him:

"You...you go take a shower first."

Xue Rui: "..."

……

Inside Gu Muxue's bedroom.

Lin Ruoxi took out many clothes from the large cardboard box, including maid outfits, JK skirts, and even a bunch of cute plush ears.

Gu Muxue took a closer look and then thought about how she would look in the outfit, and her cheeks flushed.

"Mu Xue, look how cute this is! I think it suits you perfectly."

Lin Ruoxi took out a cat ear headband and put it on Gu Muxue's head.

Gu Muxue looked at herself in the mirror: "She is quite cute."

"Which one do you want to wear today?" Lin Ruoxi held up two dresses.

"This one..." Gu Muxue said, pointing to a plaid skirt.

She could barely accept this Japanese-style JK school uniform.

"Hmm, should we decorate our hands and legs?" Lin Ruoxi held up two more leg rings.

……

Before long, the two had put together a complete outfit.

"Is this all your possessions?" Gu Muxue asked with a smile.

"No, these are all gifts for you." Lin Ruoxi said, opening the cabinet and stuffing the items inside one by one.

Gu Muxue's pupils dilated in shock: "I...I didn't say I wanted this."

"I've already bought them, and I can't even wear them myself." Lin Ruoxi closed the closet door and started dressing Gu Muxue.

A dozen minutes later, Lin Ruoxi pushed Gu Muxue in front of the mirror to admire her "work results".

Gu Muxue was wearing a white shirt with a light blue bow tie at the chest. The shirt was tucked into a light blue plaid pleated skirt, which only covered half of her thighs. The ends of her white stockings were slightly curled, leaving a mark on her legs.

Gu Muxue twirled in front of the mirror, her skirt swaying gently, lively and graceful.

"It looks pretty good." Gu Muxue took out her phone and took a picture in the mirror.

Lin Ruoxi held her chin, feeling that something was missing.

Gu Muxue's appearance was too innocent, and she always had an arrogant attitude. She didn't like how Gu Muxue treated Xue Rui.

"Mu Xue, it's still missing something," Lin Ruoxi said.

"What am I missing?" Gu Muxue looked in the mirror and thought she was missing nothing.

But Lin Ruoxi's judgment was indeed good, and she decided to trust Lin Ruoxi this time.

Lin Ruoxi bit her lip: "Do you...do you believe me?"

"I believe you," Gu Muxue replied.

"Then...you come here, put your hands behind your back," Lin Ruoxi instructed.

Gu Muxue nodded and followed Lin Ruoxi over.

Lin Ruoxi took a deep breath and took out the hidden tape from under the bed.

With a "ripping" sound, Gu Muxue's hands were bound together with duct tape.

"Ruoxi, what are you doing?" Gu Muxue turned around and was shocked to find that her hands were tightly bound with pink tape.

"Shh~ Keep your voice down, this is our gift to him."

Lin Ruoxi said in a low voice.

"Isn't it that bastard Xiao Rui..." Gu Muxue couldn't help but curse.

"Don't insult him."

Lin Ruoxi frowned, tore off a piece of tape, and used it to gag Gu Muxue.

"Well!"

"You promised before, so listen to me today," Lin Ruoxi muttered softly.

Gu Muxue lay on the bed, her eyes filled with despair, and she no longer resisted Lin Ruoxi.

She now understood why Lin Ruoxi was so magnanimous.

She was outmaneuvered by Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi didn't prepare a gift?

Lin Ruoxi had already prepared everything, planning to pack her up and give her to Xue Rui as a gift. (End of Chapter)
