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

Because Feng Yarou delayed them a little, it was almost 11 o'clock when the two of them arrived at Su Qingyan's building.

"Are you coming up too?"

"right"

Xia Yichu saw that Pei Shizhou was carrying the fruit and malted milk powder he had just bought, and didn't say anything more.

"Yichu, I don't live with the Pei family."

Pei Shizhou thought for a moment and decided to explain, lest Xia Yichu be scared away by his Feng Yarou and the others in the future, even though Xia Yichu doesn't like him yet.

"Oh"

Xia Yichu knew, of course, that Pei Shizhou had not lived with his father since his biological mother, Zhou Wenhui, passed away.

In their past life, Pei Shizhou's business grew bigger and bigger, and Feng Yarou and her two children always kept an eye on him, trying to get money out of him. Even after the family was killed by Zhou Wenbin, they never managed to get a single penny from Pei Shizhou.

Pei Shizhou wanted to say something more, but then realized they had arrived at Su Qingyan's door. Pei Shizhou's hands were full of things, while Xia Yichu knocked on the door with her empty hand, knock knock knock!

"Zhiheng, go open the door quickly, it must be Xiaochu."

Su Qingyan had just returned home from the hospital half an hour ago, and she kept asking why Xia Yichu hadn't come yet. Xia Zhiheng had asked her about it several times.

Chunhua was cooking at home, and Xia Zhiqian and Zhou Miaoying were also there. Su Qingyan was very happy to hear the knock on the door.

"Okay, don't get up."

Xia Zhiheng went over to open the door and saw that it was indeed Xia Yichu and Pei Shizhou, both carrying a lot of things.

"Xiao Chu, Shi Zhou, come in quickly."

Xia Yichu handed the things in her hand to Xia Zhiheng and went inside.

"Zhiheng, is that Xiaochu?" Su Qingyan asked anxiously from inside the room.

"Sister-in-law, it's me. How are you feeling?"

Xia Yichu changed her shoes, greeted Zhou Miaoying, and went into the room to see Su Qingyan.

"Okay, that's good. I thought you went back to Pengcheng without saying a word?" Su Qingyan's tone was a little aggrieved.

"How could that be? I'm not going back for a few more days. Is the child asleep?"

Xia Yichu looked at the child sleeping next to Su Qingyan, and he seemed a little fairer than yesterday.

"Yes, she drank her milk and just fell asleep after her diaper was changed. Xiao Chu, when are you going back to Pengcheng? Let me know before you go back."

"Okay, I'll definitely tell you when we get back. Sister-in-law, you should rest for a while."

Xia Yichu noticed the weariness on Su Qingyan's face, while Xia Zhiheng stood beside her, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"Yes, Qingyan, you woke up at six in the morning and haven't rested since. Go get some sleep."

Hearing this, Xia Zhiheng's eyes lit up. He was worried that Su Qingyan wasn't getting enough rest. She had been talking about Xia Yichu all morning and wouldn't go to sleep until she saw him.

"Xiao Chu, please stay for lunch."

"Okay, you go to sleep! I'm not leaving."

"Um"

Seeing that Xia Yichu agreed, Su Qingyan happily lay down to sleep. Xia Yichu went over to draw the curtains for Su Qingyan. She and Xia Zhiheng went out together and closed the door to the room.

Pei Shizhou was watching TV alone in the living room, Xia Zhiqian and Zhou Miaoying went to the market to buy groceries, and Chunhua was cooking for Su Qingyan.

"Xiao Chu, why are only the two of you here? Where's your brother?"

"My brother took the train back to his unit this morning, and Pei Shizhou saw us off, so we came together to see my sister-in-law."

"Yes, Xingyuan knows that Yichu was kidnapped before, and he asked me to keep an eye on Yichu these past few days."

Xia Zhiheng, who used to be in the same unit as Pei Shizhou, looked at him suspiciously. When did he become so kind? Countless girls in the unit's cultural troupe had feelings for him, but he avoided them like the plague.

Pei Shizhou appeared calm as Xia Zhiheng scrutinized him, but inwardly he was a little nervous. Xia Zhiheng knew him well; he wasn't easily fooled.

"Shizhou, don't bother. Xiaoqian is free recently, so I asked him to take care of Xiaochu. You must be very busy, go and do your own thing."

"I'm not busy. Xingyuan trusted me, that's why he entrusted this to me. I can't let him down."

"Really? Are you sure you don't have any other intentions?"

Pei Shizhou didn't answer, but Xia Zhiheng understood perfectly well. Putting aside Pei Shizhou's family background, he was already twenty-five years old, six years older than Xiao Chu; the two weren't a good match. The two confronted each other, neither willing to give in.

Xia Yichu looked at them speechlessly. Xia Zhiheng thought too highly of her, so how could Pei Shizhou possibly have any feelings for her?

"I don't need anyone to take care of me or watch over me. None of you are allowed to follow me."

"no"

"no"

Pei Shizhou and Xia Zhiheng said in unison.

"Keep your voices down, don't wake up your sister-in-law and the child."

The two of them kept quiet and watched TV without saying a word; neither of them looked happy.

"You've forgotten what happened to Zhou Weimin. In short, I don't need your care, and you're not allowed to follow me."

The two fell silent. Later, Xia Yichu was called to the police station for questioning. Xia Zhiheng asked her why she carried a dagger. She said she was used to fighting since she was a child and didn't feel at ease without carrying a weapon.

At that moment, Xia Zhiheng felt heartache for her; her misfortune was indirectly caused by his mother. He vowed to treat her like a younger sister from now on, and to protect her with his life no matter what happened.

No one spoke after that. They watched TV, and only they knew what they were thinking.

When Xia Zhiqian and Zhou Miaoying returned from grocery shopping, they saw the three of them sitting on the sofa watching TV with expressionless faces.

"Ah Ying, go and rest for a bit. Brother, come and help."

Xia Zhiheng got up and went over, and Pei Shizhou followed to help wash vegetables and cook.

"Xiao Chu"

Sister Miao Ying

"I heard from Ah Qian that you're studying at a university in Shenzhen. You're really amazing. Unlike me, I'm bad at studying and I can't even cook."

Zhou Miaoying was restless and couldn't concentrate on her studies from a young age, so she only graduated from junior high school. She was also very bold, and at the age of eighteen, she learned to drive a large truck from her father.

Despite being only twenty-two years old, she can drive tractors, cars, trucks, and all kinds of vehicles, even better than her father.

"Sister Miaoying, you're amazing! You can even drive a big truck."

Zhou Miaoying didn't think much of it, assuming that Xia Yichu had heard it from Su Qingyan.

"Xiao Chu, do you want to learn? I can teach you."

"Really, but I only have four days left before school starts."

"It's okay, I'll teach you when you come to Kyoto during winter or summer vacation."

Xia Yichu wanted to learn how to drive a car, but she didn't want to drive a truck.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Miaoying."

Zhou Miaoying was talking to Xia Yichu about driving techniques and funny stories about her and Xia Zhiheng's driving trips. The two got along very well. It wasn't until they heard the baby crying that they went into the room to check on the child.

"Auntie, Xiao Chu, A Ying, Brother, come out for dinner."

Xia Zhiqian called from outside, and Su Qingyan woke up and ate in the room. Chunhua was changing the baby's diaper inside, while Xia Zhiheng, Xia Yichu, and Zhou Miaoying watched over the child.

"Xiao Chu, Miao Ying, hurry up and go out to eat, I'm full."

"Okay, call us if your sister-in-law needs anything."

"Um"

Xia Zhiheng tidied up the dishes Su Qingyan had used and took them out. Su Qingyan had just finished eating and sat for a while before lying down. The baby had been fed and had his diaper changed; he had just woken up and wasn't asleep yet. He lay quietly in bed, neither crying nor fussing.

"Everyone, please help yourselves to whatever you want to eat. Don't be shy. Come on, Xiao Chu, Auntie."

Xia Zhiheng invited them to eat, putting a chicken leg on Xia Yichu's and Aunt Chunhua's plates, and asking his younger brother to put one on Miaoying's plate. The chicken legs were pre-cooked by someone else.

One for each person; Xia Zhiheng was afraid they would be too shy to eat, so he put them in their bowls.

"Brother Zhiheng, I can do it myself."

"Yes, we'll do it ourselves," Chunhua said from the side.

"Okay, we're all on the same side, don't be shy."

Half an hour later, Xia Yichu finished eating and put down her chopsticks, then told them to eat slowly before going in to see Su Qingyan.

Xia Yichu had only been inside for a short while when she heard someone knocking on the door. After opening the door, she heard loud crying and commotion outside, waking up the child who had just fallen asleep.

"Sister-in-law, I'll go out and see who it is."
