Rebirth: Saving the Lovely Girl from the Start

"Rui, we both have our licenses now. What kind of car do you want? I'll buy it for you..." Lin Ruoxi said. She loved teasing Xue Rui. She'd even promised him before that she would "keep" him.

The driver almost choked when he heard that. 'What the hell?' he thought. 'A girl buying a car for a guy?'

Xue Rui thought, 'If she's the one buying, it'll definitely be something sturdy and practical.' He said aloud, "You pick it out. Just don't get anything too cheap. We're talking something in the millions, right?"

"Hmm, how about a Range Rover? We could fit a lot of stuff in it."

"Yeah, I guess that'll do."

The driver's eyelid started twitching. 'These two are really in cahoots,' he thought. 'A Range Rover is just "passable"?'

If it were two guys talking like this, he'd be sure they were just showing off. But a guy and a girl? He honestly wasn't so sure anymore...

"Hey... you look kinda familiar, young man," the driver spoke up.

Xue Rui glanced at the driver and thought he looked a bit familiar too. "I do?" he said. "Maybe I've ridden in your car before."

"You're the one who told me a bunch of girls were fighting and ripping each other's clothes off. Had me driving around for half an hour looking for them!" the driver said coldly.

A muscle in Xue Rui's jaw twitched. He remembered that day he was looking for Gu Muxue—he'd been in such a rush that he'd spun a lie for the taxi driver...

He couldn't help but curse inwardly. 'This city is so damn small! How could I run into him again?'

'Besides, how long ago was that? How could the driver still remember?'

Then again, he thought, if someone had tricked him like that, he'd definitely remember it for the rest of his life too...

So, Xue Rui decided to go on the offensive. He cursed indignantly, "Sir, I got tricked too! I even wasted money on the cab fare to go see it. I spent two hours looking that day and couldn't find a thing!"

Seeing Xue Rui ranting and raving, the driver's anger suddenly dissipated. He didn't know what to say. 'Was this kid a "victim" too?'

Xue Rui thought to himself, 'Good thing I'm quick on my feet. Otherwise, even if I didn't get an earful, I'd definitely be getting overcharged for this ride.'

Lin Ruoxi had rarely seen Xue Rui so angry. With a serious look on her face, she asked, "Rui, who tricked you?"

Xue Rui couldn't help but laugh. Her earnest, serious expression made it seem like she was ready to demand justice on his behalf.

Xue Rui felt the girl's naivete was off the charts. Even if there really had been a group of girls fighting, he would've just gone to watch their clothes get ripped. Was it really something to make a federal case out of?

"What do you think I was going there for?" Xue Rui asked curiously. He didn't think she was the type to have a dirty mind.

The driver also pricked up his ears, trying to listen in. 'Why is a girl like her even part of this conversation?' he wondered.

He heard Lin Ruoxi say in a soft, sweet voice, "Well, Rui was definitely going to break up the fight. Someone took advantage of his kindness."

Xue Rui took a deep breath. 'I never imagined my public image was so noble!'

The driver was stunned. He suddenly felt that the girl in his rearview mirror was radiating with the light of human decency. He gave two awkward coughs. "That's right. We were going to break up the fight, but we couldn't find them."

As they chatted, the car slowly pulled up to the high-speed rail station. The driver expertly handed a business card to his passengers in the back seat.

"Next time something like that happens, be sure to confirm it before you call me. I'd love to go help break up the fight," the driver joked.

The two of them arrived at the familiar high-speed rail station. The plaza out front was still packed with people, but this time, Xue Rui didn't have to wait by the entrance. He led the young woman straight into the business-class waiting lounge, not stopping to talk with any students on the way.

Lin Ruoxi, on the other hand, seemed quite interested in the high-speed train, her wide eyes continuously scanning the scenery outside the window.

The two cities weren't far apart. Lin Ruoxi had only been spacing out for a little while before she heard the arrival announcement. She took Xue Rui's hand and started walking toward the exit.

At the exit, students from various universities held up signs to welcome new arrivals. Xue Rui, of course, didn't spare them a single glance.

What surprised Xue Rui was that although plenty of people were turning their heads to admire Lin Ruoxi, not a single person came up to ask where she was headed.

He thought, 'So this whole getup really works.' Her tall stature, her habit of walking without turning her head, the Dior 999 lipstick, the sunglasses... Her aura was too mature. She didn't look like a student at all.

Meanwhile, he wasn't carrying any luggage and was walking with clear purpose toward the exit. No one would think the two of them were students arriving for the start of the school year.

As they reached the station exit, Xue Rui saw that Yu Minlan was already waiting outside.

He also noticed that the short man from yesterday's "charity donation" scam was still "at work" by the exit.

When the man saw Xue Rui, he instinctively took half a step back. 'How is this kid here again?' he thought.

He shot Xue Rui a glare but otherwise ignored him.

However, the kind-hearted Lin Ruoxi saw the man collecting donations for the "deaf and mute." She pulled out a hundred-yuan bill and walked toward him, her left hand still holding Xue Rui's.

The man saw that this girl was with Xue Rui, and he remembered that this was the kid who had threatened to call the police on him yesterday...

'And today, a girl who's with him is trying to donate?'

His eyes narrowed. He got it now—Xue Rui was here to mess with him again!

'"Damn it! If I can't win, I can at least run away!"' the man cursed to himself, clutching his donation box and taking off into the distance.

Lin Ruoxi stood frozen in place, holding the hundred-yuan bill. "Why... why is he running away?"
