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

"grandfather"

No sooner had Yang Yunxia left than Xia Zhiheng arrived on his motorcycle. Grandma Xia was in her room; her legs were weak, and she was lying in bed listening to the radio. Grandpa Xia was about to go out to find someone to play chess when he met him at the door.

"Xiao Heng's here. Your mother just left. Come in, come in quickly." Grandpa Xia turned around, went back to open the door, and beckoned Xia Zhiheng to come in.

"What did my mom say? Did she come by herself? Did I fall asleep while nursing?"

Xia Zhiheng went into the house and didn't see Grandma Xia. He guessed that she was in the room, but he didn't know if she was asleep.

"Your grandma just went into her room. She's listening to the radio, so she's probably still awake. What's wrong? Did something happen? Your mom came by herself. She said she's hosting a dinner party at the old house tomorrow and asked how many friends we plan to invite. She didn't say anything else, and then she left."

"Grandpa, I originally wanted to host a dinner at home, but my mom strongly objected. I'm afraid the Yang family might cause some trouble."

"Probably not, you're overthinking it. Your grandma's in bed, what kind of trouble could she possibly cause? Xiao Bo is your mom's first grandson, after all, she wants to have a grand full-moon celebration, which is understandable."

If it weren't for his mother's neglect of the child a few days ago, and what happened with Xiao Chu this morning, Xia Zhiheng might have been able to convince himself that the Yang family and his mother had no ulterior motives. But all these signs indicated that the Yang family and his mother definitely had some ulterior motives.

"Grandpa, this is what happened, my mom..."

Xia Zhiheng told Xia Yichu about what happened to his mother and Xia Yichu that morning. He was really afraid that the Yang family's plans for tomorrow would be related to Xiao Chu, and that his grandparents would not be able to bear the shock.

Therefore, the only thing to do is to tell the whole story. Neither Xiao Chu nor his grandparents can get into trouble. He especially can't let anything happen to his mother or the Yang family, otherwise he'll be too ashamed to face his uncle.

"How dare your mother say such a thing? She's lost her mind."

After hearing these words, Grandpa Xia slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"Good job! Next time, tell Xiao Chu not to hold back, let her hit you a few more times. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong. How's Xiao Chu? Is she angry?"

"Not angry"

Xia Zhiheng shook his head and said, "Xia Yichu doesn't seem like the type to compromise herself for others. She takes revenge on the spot and doesn't care how old you are or whether you're an elder."

"Zhiheng! Your mother doesn't act like an elder at all, you can't blame Xiaochu for this."

"Grandpa, I know."

Grandpa Xia looked at his eldest grandson with satisfaction. Fortunately, neither of his grandsons resembled the Yang family at all. If either of them had even the slightest resemblance, the Xia family would never have had a peaceful day.

"Alright, I understand. I'll talk to your grandma. We'll keep a close eye on Xiao Chu tomorrow, don't worry, Xiao Chu is very clever! It's hard to say who's plotting against whom. We'll talk about your mother's issue after tomorrow."

"Grandpa, I'll head back now."

Drive slowly and be careful.

"it is good"

After Xia Zhiheng left, Grandpa Xia didn't go out either, but went to the room to check on Grandma Xia. He saw his wife with her eyes half-closed, the radio quite loud; she probably didn't know Zhiheng had come to the house.

Grandpa Xia tiptoed to bed, and after Grandma Xia fell asleep, he carefully got up, turned off the radio, and then went back to bed.

After a good night's sleep, Xia Yichu stretched and got out of bed the next morning. It was past eight o'clock, just the right time. She planned to wash up, have breakfast outside, and then head to the Xia family's old house.

"Shizhou, what are you doing here?"

Xia Yichu opened the door and saw Pei Shizhou sitting on a new motorcycle in front of her house, carrying things in both hands.

The two had eaten together twice yesterday and talked about the future. Xia Yichu had become much more familiar with him and spoke more casually. Pei Shizhou also sensed that Xia Yichu's attitude towards him was different from before, and he was in a particularly good mood this morning.

I brought you breakfast.

After returning home yesterday, Pei Shizhou felt increasingly uneasy. He dragged Gu Yunting along to buy a motorcycle, but Xia Zhiheng treated him like a thief. He silently vowed to himself that he would make sure Xia Yichu rode on his motorcycle.

After buying the car, he took Gu Yunting to the airport so he could go on a business trip to Shanghai, since he had told Xia Yichu that Gu Yunting wasn't in Beijing.

"Come in, have you eaten?"

"No"

Pei Shizhou placed the two bags he was carrying on the table. One bag contained six boxes, which were snacks he had bought from the teahouse that morning, including shrimp dumplings, siu mai, chicken feet, and char siu buns. The other bag contained soy milk and porridge.

"There's so much! We can't possibly eat it all."

Xia Yichu looked at the table full of food, somewhat surprised. Where did he buy this? It seemed like these weren't sold around here.

"Not much, don't worry, we can finish it."

Xia Yichu didn't say anything more. She drank a cup of soy milk, ate some shrimp dumplings and shumai, and gave the rest to Pei Shizhou. After he finished eating, he cleaned up the trash on the table.

"Should we go now, or wait a bit?"

"Let's go now! It's almost 9:30."

"it is good"

The two walked out together, and Xia Yichu locked the door. Pei Shizhou took a helmet from the motorcycle and gave it to Xia Yichu.

"Do you need to drive there?"

It's not far from here, about a twenty-minute walk. Most importantly, Xia Yichu doesn't want to ride on Pei Shizhou's motorcycle; most of Xia's relatives should be here by now. If the two of them go like this, people will definitely start to speculate.

"Yes, I haven't bought a gift yet. I was thinking of going to the mall to buy something. Sorry, I went to queue for breakfast early this morning and forgot about it. Besides, I don't know what gift to buy. Could you go with me to take a look?"

Pei Shizhou had already anticipated that Xia Yichu would refuse to ride in his car to the Xia family home, and he had prepared an excuse for it.

"Okay."

Knowing that Pei Shizhou had bought breakfast and was waiting for her at the door, and that she didn't know how long he had been waiting, Xia Yichu felt embarrassed to refuse him.

"Shall I help you, or will you do it yourself?"

"I'll do it myself."

Pei Shizhou handed her the helmet, took the small bag from her hand and put it in his pocket, then took out a helmet for himself, put it on, and got into the car.

"Yichu, get in the car."

Xia Yichu got into the car, trying her best not to run into Pei Shizhou.

"Sit tight, I'm driving."

"Um"

Pei Shizhou's palms were sweating nervously. This was the first time he had been so close to Xia Yichu since he realized he had fallen for her. Close enough that he could smell a pleasant fragrance emanating from her. He didn't know what it was, but it smelled wonderful.

The motorcycle started, the wind whistling past her ears. Xia Yichu initially kept her distance, but as the motorcycle sped up and lurched, she instinctively grabbed Pei Shizhou's waist and immediately let go. Pei Shizhou's heart skipped a beat, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

No matter how fast the motorcycle went, Xia Yichu held on tightly and avoided hitting Pei Shizhou again. The mall arrived with Pei Shizhou's regret.

"We've arrived. Please get off the bus first, and be careful."

Xia Yichu got off the bus and waited for Pei Shizhou to park the car. She gave him the helmet, and the two of them walked into the mall.

What do you want to buy?

"I don't know. By the way, what gift are you bringing?"

"A longevity lock and a pair of gold bracelets"

These things were originally prepared by the child's maternal grandparents. Since Su Qingyan has no parents, Xia Yichu prepared them for the child. As for clothes, she had bought several sets before, so she didn't buy any more for the child.

"What gift do you think I should buy?"

"have no idea"

"Never mind, I'll be about the same as you."

Pei Shizhou took Xia Yichu straight to the jewelry store, and Xia Yichu had no objections.
