Chapter 307 - 268: Rui, Gu Muxue Is Looking for You

Xue Rui instantly tensed up. Lin Ruoxi’s voice became softer and softer as she spoke of Gu Muxue, making his heart lurch.

’What is she going to ask?’

’Could it be, "Who’s prettier, me or her?"’

’"Who do you like more, me or her?"’

’No, no, no, why would she ask something like that?’

Lin Ruoxi had found out he was two-timing, yet not only did she not break up with him, she even gave him her first time.

That’s why last night had happened.

The conclusion was obvious. Lin Ruoxi was afraid he would be forced to choose, and she had no confidence in herself. That’s why she chose such a submissive way to keep him...

"Gu... Muxue..." Lin Ruoxi stammered, then suddenly buried her face in the blankets.

In truth, Lin Ruoxi didn’t know how to solve the problem of Xue Rui having two girlfriends. She just wanted to give everything she had to Xue Rui...

In her eyes, Gu Muxue was always so lively, cheerful, and friendly—a good kid in the eyes of teachers and classmates.

Gu Muxue even tutored Xue Rui, so she was actually quite grateful to her...

The only thing that made her unhappy was that Gu Muxue would occasionally bite Xue Rui, which made her heart ache for him.

But Yu Minlan had later told her that everyone loves differently, and that many people were like Gu Muxue...

She didn’t think Gu Muxue was at fault. Gu Muxue was also just a young girl who liked Xue Rui.

But she felt even more strongly that Xue Rui wasn’t at fault.

That only left herself. She closed her eyes and fell into her memories, reviewing everything she had experienced from birth until now.

Before Xue Rui arrived, it was as if she were just a passerby in the world, never truly participating. It was like looking back at her first sixteen years from a third-person perspective, watching a strange little girl grow up...

However, after Xue Rui appeared, her memories suddenly shifted to a first-person perspective. His figure was in every fragment, so incredibly vivid...

It was from that moment on that she began to connect with the world, that she truly became herself...

’The internet says all men are players, greedy and never satisfied...’

’Xue Rui was greedy; he wanted two girlfriends...’

’But she was greedy too, greedily wanting to cling to Xue Rui’s side.’

If someone had to be at fault, Lin Ruoxi felt it should be her.

Although, she didn’t know what she had done wrong...

Xue Rui stroked her head. He understood now. Lin Ruoxi didn’t know what to ask him; she was just waiting for him to speak.

He was sure that no matter what he said, she wouldn’t leave him.

Xue Rui took a deep breath. Lies only beget more lies, and she was getting smarter. If he deceived her with sweet words today, she would only be hurt more deeply when she discovered the truth later.

So, he decided to just speak his mind. "Honestly, in my heart... there’s no ranking between you and her. I failed to realize her feelings for me before, so I’ve always felt like I owed her..."

"To be honest, I’m really shallow. I like the two prettiest girls in the entire school. Muxue and I grew up together..."

"My possessiveness gets the better of me. It’s hard for me to accept Muxue interacting with other guys..."

Then again, wasn’t Lin Ruoxi the same?

’Isn’t the way she’s tightly wrapping him in the blankets right now also a sign of possessiveness?’

Lin Ruoxi tilted her head up and nuzzled Xue Rui’s chin. "Rui, I... what I wanted to ask just now was, does she know about me?"

’Gu Muxue and Xue Rui have known each other for over a decade, while she has only known him for two years. But Xue Rui said she and Gu Muxue are the same to him...’

’She was very happy, but also a little unhappy.’

’She didn’t know what was wrong with her. How could she feel two completely opposite emotions at the same time?’

"She doesn’t know," Xue Rui murmured.

’So that’s what Lin Ruoxi wanted to ask?’

’This whole situation was shocking. How could this supposedly slow little girl be the first one to find out? She was even sharper than Gu Muxue...’

Actually, Gu Muxue had suspected him a long time ago. They hadn’t made their relationship official back then, and she had been angry for a very, very long time, ignoring him for a full month.

Perhaps it was precisely because of that "misunderstanding" that Gu Muxue felt guilty, making her less likely to suspect him now. It was a blessing in disguise.

But now there was a problem. Before, when he hadn’t made it official with anyone, he could get away with all sorts of vague and ambiguous answers.

But now, both of them had the status of "girlfriend"!

Thinking about Lin Ruoxi’s question again, it felt like the conditions for a showdown between the queens were about to be met!

These days, a single suggestive text can ruin a family, let alone the fact that this little girl knew the whole story.

If she wanted to have him all to herself, all she had to do was tell Gu Muxue everything. Given Gu Muxue’s pride, she would definitely take the initiative to leave...

’And then what? Wouldn’t she hide in a corner and cry by herself?’

That’s just the kind of girl Gu Muxue was. Perfect in front of outsiders, with only those closest to her knowing the wounds she once suffered.

Xue Rui cursed inwardly, ’Fuck, isn’t a triangle supposed to be the most stable shape? What the hell is this now?’

Lin Ruoxi noticed Xue Rui’s heartbeat was irregular. She tilted her head to peek at his expression from the side, then turned and gently wrapped her arms around his neck. "Rui, I... I won’t contact her. So please be happy, okay?"

’Xue Rui had promised to never leave her. He had already given her what she wanted.’

’As for Xue Rui’s greed...’

’Even though she felt uneasy, she wanted to make Xue Rui happy.’
