Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat

At dawn, Lin Weinan drove Xia Yichu and Wang Liujie to the provincial capital. The round trip would take six or seven hours, so they were quite pressed for time.

"Auntie, does my older brother have a girlfriend?"

Xia Yichu and Wang Liujie sat in the back seat of the car and asked about Lin Xingyuan. He was twenty-three years old this year and was old enough to date.

"No, we're always training and on missions, there are very few girls in the military to begin with."

In her past life, her older brother died in a car accident less than a year after retiring from the army, which is why her aunt was sent to a mental hospital. Now that her older brother has not retired from the army, he should not be in a car accident.

"My older brother hasn't been home for two years. My aunt misses him a lot. Has he said when he'll be back?"

Xia Yichu doesn't want him to come home at this time, since it's around the same time Lin Xingyuan had his car accident in his previous life.

After all, Zhou Shuyue died at a different time than in her previous life, but she was still strangled to death by Chen Shaoping in the end. Some things are inevitable, and Xia Yichu was a little worried, afraid that her older brother would suffer the same fate as in her previous life.

"Your older brother said he's coming home after this mission; he has twenty days of leave."

Actually, he didn't go back last year because he was injured on a mission and was afraid his family would worry, so he didn't go home. He, Lin Weidong, and Wang Liujie kept it a secret from their families.

"I haven't seen my older brother in a long time either. Aunt, when he comes back, please have him go to Pengcheng to see me first. I haven't seen him in a long time, and he has to transfer in Pengcheng to get home anyway."

She can go back with him then and keep an eye on him. If anything really happens, as long as he's still breathing, the spatial water should be able to save him.

"Okay, I'll talk to him when he gets back."

Next, Wang Liujie asked her about things at school. Xia Yichu answered what she could, and before she knew it, time had flown by.

"We're here. Let's go eat first. Xiao Chu, what do you want to eat?"

They bought some steamed buns in the county town, and it's not even 10 o'clock yet, so Xia Yichu isn't hungry at all.

"Uncle, I'm not hungry."

"If you're not hungry, let's go to the mall and buy some things. Xiao Chu, the clothes you sent me are much nicer than these. I don't know if you'll like them. If you don't, that's okay. I'll give you the money later, and you can buy them in Kyoto."

Xia Yichu had previously bought a lot of clothes for her uncle and aunt in Kyoto, both for winter and summer, and sent them to them twice. She also bought each of them a watch, which Lin Weinan showed off for a long time in the army, making everyone in the unit extremely envious.

Xia Yichu didn't buy clothes for Lin Xingye and Lin Xingyuan because she didn't know their sizes. She bought each of them a watch, but she received several payments the following month.

"Auntie, no need, I have money."

Wang Liujie didn't say anything more; she'd just give it to her when the time came. Lin Weinan drove to the mall, arriving a few minutes later. They got out of the car first, and Lin Weinan went to park.

"Xiao Chu, how do the Xia family treat you?"

"good"

"I heard from my sister-in-law that Xia Guoan was tricked by my brother into giving you his money and the house. Xiao Chu, when you look for a partner in the future, you must keep your money and the house in your own hands. Don't take them out casually, and don't sell the house unless absolutely necessary."

Wang Liujie had heard from her sister-in-law that Xiao Chu was going to work to earn money for a man she liked to go to university, which made her very anxious.

I heard that the man even killed someone, but thankfully Xiao Chu came to her senses and stopped liking him.

"Auntie, I understand."

Lin Weinan parked the car and walked over, saying, "Let's go inside."

Wang Liujie took Xia Yichu directly to the second floor, where clothes and jewelry were sold. Wang Liujie had already decided that if Xia Yichu didn't like the clothes there, she would buy her some jewelry instead.

"Yi Chu"

Wang Liujie held up the clothes to herself when suddenly someone called out to Xia Yichu. Xia Yichu was a little confused; she couldn't believe she'd run into someone she knew in this place.

She turned around and saw Pei Shizhou, who was carrying a lot of things.

"It really is you! I thought I was seeing things. I went to Shenzhen to look for you, but your friend said you went back to your hometown. By the way, what a coincidence that you're in Heilongjiang Province! I can't believe I ran into you here."

Pei Shizhou was clearly very happy, chattering on and on. Lin Weinan pulled Xia Yichu behind him, looking at the man in front of her; he seemed vaguely familiar.

"Greetings, Commander Lin"

Pei Shizhou gave Lin Weinan a military salute, which Lin Weinan returned. Then he said, "You know me. Who are you?"

"Commander Lin, my name is Pei Shizhou. I visited Heilongjiang Province three years ago. I sparred with your troops there; have you forgotten?"

"I remember now, you used to be number one in everything. By the way, how did you end up in Heilongjiang Province?"

He hasn't received any requests to compete with other units recently. Back then, after the competition, the team complained bitterly because Zhou Qiangguo thought they were embarrassing and subjected his soldiers to grueling training.

"I heard that a surgeon who studied abroad has come to our team, so I came to see him to take a look at my hand."

Seeing the two of them chatting enthusiastically, Wang Liujie pulled Xia Yichu to go shopping.

"Your hand..."

Pei Shizhou watched helplessly as Xia Yichu was dragged away without saying a word to him. Could it be that Commander Lin was her uncle who was serving in the army?

Pei Shizhou has been visiting Grandpa and Grandma Xia frequently whenever he has free time. Whenever he goes there, Grandma Xia pulls him aside and talks about Xia Yichu.

So Pei Shizhou knew she had an uncle serving in the army, but he never expected him to be here.

"I was injured on a mission, Commander Lin. I've already been discharged."

Lin Weinan looked at him with pity. Pei Shizhou was a promising soldier with a bright future. Now that his hand was injured to the point of having to be discharged, the injury must have been quite serious.

When are you going to the team?

"I plan to go after I finish shopping."

He had been here once before and knew the place well; now he can get there before dinner.

"Okay, I'll go tell Xiao Chu and the others that we'll wait outside. We're going back to the team today anyway, so you can come with us."

"Okay, thank you, Commander Lin."

Hearing that he could go back with Xia Yichu, Pei Shizhou wasn't in a hurry to find her. He stood there waiting, while Lin Weinan went over to tell them and then came back.

"Let's go outside and talk."

The two didn't go far. Lin Weinan told Pei Shizhou to put the things in the car and find a place to sit down and talk.

"By the way, how did you meet my Xiao Chu?"

"I met her in Kyoto. She was kidnapped at the time, and I..."

"What? When was Xiao Chu kidnapped? Why was she kidnapped?" Lin Weinan stood up and asked anxiously.

Pei Shizhou knew he had caused trouble, and Xia Yichu definitely hadn't told the Lin family. But since he had already told them, there was no point in hiding it anymore, so he had no choice but to tell them the whole story.

"What a Xia family! They never raised Xiao Chu for a single day, yet they let Xiao Chu be implicated by them and even kidnapped."

"Commander Lin, Yichu is very smart; she escaped on her own."

"That's right, Xiao Chu is just like me—brave and resourceful, bold yet meticulous. Shi Zhou, don't call me Commander Lin anymore, just call me Uncle. By the way, where did you hurt your hand?"

The two chatted amiably, asking and answering questions, until it was almost past midnight. Wang Liujie and Xia Yichu then came out, each carrying a bag.

"How about it, Xiao Chu? Did you find any clothes you like?"

Lin Weinan came over and asked, and Pei Shizhou also came over to greet him.

"Auntie"

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Wang Liujie saw that he hadn't left yet and knew that he was going back to the army with them, since there weren't many vehicles to take them from the county town back to the army.

"Xiao Chu"

Lin Weinan knew it wasn't the right time to ask her about the kidnapping, and Pei Shizhou felt a little guilty, avoiding looking at Xia Yichu.

"Uncle, I bought it. I'm hungry. Let's go eat."

"Okay, let's go eat first."
