Thinking about what happened to Lin Xingcheng in his past life, Xia Yichu's mind went blank. Her hands and feet were ice-cold, her face was pale, and she stumbled over.

"Xiao Cheng, Xiao Cheng"

In the eyes of the school leaders and the police, her appearance was exactly that of a little girl who had been bullied by Chen Shaoping and was both scared and helpless.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Lin Xingcheng supported Xia Yichu, who was covered in sweat and felt weak in the limbs.

"Xia, come sit here for a while and relax."

A female police officer in uniform brought over a chair and helped her sit down.

No, no need.

Xia Yichu had just sat down when she saw the school leaders standing in a circle, and she immediately stood up. It wasn't that she was scared, but she just felt that something was amiss.

"Xia, don't be afraid, the school will take care of you. Come on, let's go inside and talk."

The principal, with a kind and amiable expression, even ordered the students in the vicinity to be driven away. It's outrageous; instead of studying properly, they're all so gossipy.

"Xia Yichu, I'm a police officer from Xincheng Police Station. My surname is Zhou. Don't be nervous, let's just chat casually."

"We received a report from the public this morning. They said Chen Shaoping assaulted you in the street, but we don't know if that's true," said the female police officer who had just brought her a chair.

She was terrified! So that's what it was about. She thought it was about her cousin being falsely accused of cheating on his exams in her past life. She was so worried and concerned about her cousin; it was only the beginning of the semester, and the final exams were still a long way off!

"Xia, don't be afraid. The school leaders and we will stand up for you," another male police officer said.

"Yes, the school absolutely will not allow such a morally corrupt person," the principal immediately stated, and the others nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Chen Shaoping stopped me this morning and wouldn't let me leave. I was scared, so I yelled at him for being a pervert."

Did he do anything inappropriate to you this morning?

Xia Yichu didn't understand what it meant or why the police would ask her that.

"Xia, don't worry, the people here won't tell anyone."

"Officer Zhou, I don't understand what you mean by 'excessive actions'?"

"For example, has he hugged you, touched you, or..."

"That's enough, stop asking. Chen Shaoping must be arrested for hooliganism. Xiao Chu, let's go."

The policewoman knew she shouldn't have asked that question, and Chen Shaoping denied indecent behavior. Yang Mengru then said that Chen Shaoping and Xia Yichu were good friends and had gone to and from school together from junior high to high school.

They called the school to verify, and it was indeed true. This morning, some people said Chen Shaoping only pulled Xia Yichu, while others said he touched and hugged her. It's a bit confusing; we can only ask Xia Yichu, the person directly involved.

Besides, what if a couple has a fight and sends Chen Shaoping to jail, only to have them released later after they reconcile? So it's best to be cautious.

"I'm sorry, my cousin was worried about me, that's why he did that."

"fine"

Xia Yichu recounted in detail how Chen Shaoping stopped her, without embellishing anything. After all, there were so many people on the street; she couldn't just take everything she said at face value.

"Okay, we understand the situation you described."

The two police officers said goodbye and left. The school leaders told Xia Yichu to go back and get some rest, and that they could talk about anything else tomorrow.

"Xia Yichu, here's your stuff back."

"Thank you, Teacher Wang."

Lin Xingcheng followed behind Xia Yichu, carrying the clothes, which were all bought for him. Xia Yichu had put the clothes she bought for herself in her safety buckle so that she wouldn't have to carry so much stuff when they went to rent a place.

"Xiao Chu, let's talk."

"it is good"

The two found a secluded spot to sit down, and Lin Xingcheng remained silent for quite some time.

"Xiao Cheng, Chen Shaoping really just pulled me up."

Lin Xingcheng didn't want to ask about that. He knew that as long as Xia Yichu didn't let anyone take advantage of her, no one could get anything out of her.

"You really don't like Chen Shaoping anymore?"

"I really don't like him. He only approached me because of Xia Guoan, so why should I like him? Besides, didn't you say he's two-faced and full of bad intentions?"

"Yes, I knew he had ulterior motives for approaching you. Xiao Chu, are you really going to Kyoto to find Xia Guoan?"

"Yes, you'll come with me then, and we'll invite your uncle too."

"My dad won't agree. We've been through so many years together. You're eighteen now. Can you please stop going to him?"

He needed his father when he was little and got through it all. Now that he's grown up, he doesn't need his father anymore. Lin Xingcheng doesn't want Xia Yichu to get hurt.

"Xiao Cheng, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

When Xia Yichu first reborn, she sought out Xia Guoan to get money for her uncle's medical treatment. Now, it's for Xiao Cheng's future. Xia Guoan is a researcher, and Xiao Cheng's dream is also to become a researcher. With Xia Guoan guiding him, he can avoid many pitfalls.

"But Kyoto is so big, do you even know where he is?"

"I know. Chen Shaoping told me where his aunt is. I just need to find his aunt's employer and ask her to take me to Xia Guoan."

October 1st was the wedding of Xia Guoan's son. I missed that opportunity, and I don't know when I'll be able to find him again. He's very busy with work; sometimes for years at a time, even his family doesn't know where he is.

In her past life, Chen Shaoping said he would take her to see his aunt. The family his aunt worked as a nanny for was Xia Guoan's younger sister. His aunt had also overheard Lin Weihong's name by chance.

After inquiring with Chen Shaoping's mother, she learned that Xia Guoan was Xia Yichu's biological father. Seeing that Xia Guoan was unmarried and childless, she set her sights on Xia Yichu, since her own son was useless and had a bad reputation. Therefore, she gave this opportunity to Chen Shaoping on the condition that Chen Shaoping help Liu Yaohui in the future and remember her kindness.

Xia Yichu caused a scene at the Xia family's wedding banquet, resulting in a huge loss of face for the Xia family. The Xia family was a prominent family in Beijing, and although they had lost face, they were still deeply humiliated.

The Xia family still accepted Xia Yichu as their granddaughter. From that day on, because she harbored resentment, she started causing trouble. In the end, when Lin Xingcheng got into trouble, she went to the Xia family for help, but they refused. She hated everyone in the Xia family, and at that time she couldn't find Xia Guoan.

Looking back now, Xiao Cheng got involved in a murder case. The Xia family's mortal enemy was waiting for them to make a mistake so they could drag them down with them. Later, when her uncle fell seriously ill, she vowed never to ask the Xia family for help again and to raise the money herself.

At that time, Chen Shaoping would swindle her out of every penny she had. By the time she borrowed several thousand yuan to get to the hospital, her uncle had already passed away.

"When do you plan to go?" Lin Xingcheng asked, seeing that he couldn't dissuade her, so he could only make a decision for her.

"October 1st, plus Sunday, is a three-day holiday."

"Three days isn't enough. It would take two or three days by train, at least a week. How about we wait until winter break to go?"

"It's okay, we'll take a plane, it only takes three hours."

A plane ticket costs 888 yuan. Xia Yichu checked today; she has 200,000 yuan on her. Three people would only need less than 3,000 yuan—no big deal.

"All right"

Seeing that she had inquired about everything, Lin Xingcheng knew there was no room for negotiation. He could only agree; if he didn't, he feared she would go to Kyoto on her own.
