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

Xia Yichu was asleep, and Pei Shizhou from Kyoto had been wandering around her neighborhood for a while. He had been watching her anxiously from his own doorstep since eight o'clock, and then went to wait for her at Xia Yichu's door around nine o'clock.

It was already 11 p.m., and Xia Yichu still hadn't come to Kyoto. It was too late, so Pei Shizhou didn't call her. He was still unwilling to give up and waited until midnight before going home to sleep.

In the morning, Xia Yichu took a 10 o'clock flight to Kyoto and didn't get off the plane until after 2 o'clock. She was carrying the bag that her grandfather had bought for her and holding a bag of things in her hand.

"Yi Chu"

Xia Yichu had just stepped out of the airport and was about to hail a taxi when she heard someone calling her.

"Why are you here?"

Pei Shizhou called her, and he came over to take the things from Xia Yichu's hands.

"I'll come pick you up."

Xia Yichu didn't come to Kyoto last night, so Pei Shizhou wondered if she would arrive this morning. Therefore, he came to the airport to wait for her after lunch.

How did you know I was taking the flight today?

Pei Shizhou certainly wouldn't tell her that he waited outside her house until midnight last night before going home.

"I guessed, let's go! The car's over there."

"it is good"

Xia Yichu thought that the matter she had asked Pei Shizhou to investigate had made progress, so she stopped asking questions and followed Pei Shizhou.

"Are you hungry? Would you like to get something to eat?"

"I'm not hungry, let's go straight home!"

"it is good"

Pei Shizhou, thinking about confessing his feelings to Xia Yichu later, gripped the steering wheel nervously. They drove for a while without speaking. Xia Yichu sensed that Pei Shizhou was acting strangely today; he was driving with a serious expression and didn't say a word.

"Has something happened to the Xia family?" Xia Yichu couldn't help but ask.

"Probably not. I've been a bit busy lately and haven't visited Grandpa and Grandma Xia yet."

In order to have time to spend with Xia Yichu these few days, Pei Shizhou finished most of his work and handed the rest over to Gu Yunting.

He has learned his lesson and didn't call Gu Yunting away. Otherwise, like last time when Xia Yichu returned to Pengcheng, he would be so busy that he wouldn't have time to take her back.

"Oh, have you found anything about Yang Yunxia's case?"

"Not yet, it's been too long, and it's a bit troublesome to check."

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, I'll take my time."

It didn't matter if they couldn't find out; she wouldn't let Yang Yunxia off the hook. She trusted her intuition; her mother's situation was definitely related to Yang Yunxia.

"I had someone approach Li Jinshun and say that he never hit Yang Yunxian, he only pushed her lightly. Then she started making a scene about getting a divorce, and even said that she had taken a liking to Uncle Xia when she went to the Xia family before."

Pei Shizhou glanced at Xia Yichu, and seeing that she had no expression, he continued, "Li Jinshun is Yang Yunxian's ex-husband, so you can't completely believe what he says. I heard he likes to drink, and he often acts crazy when he's drunk."

"Okay, I understand. Is there any way I can go to the prison to see Yang Yunxian?"

It would be even better if I could meet Yang Yunxian and see if I could learn anything else from her.

"Yes, but if that happens, Zhiheng will definitely know that you've seen Yang Yunxian. He's not easily fooled; sooner or later he'll find out we're investigating his mother."

"Then let's not go see Yang Yunxian for now, we'll talk about it next time."

Xia Yichu didn't want to alert the enemy; she was relying entirely on guesswork and had no evidence whatsoever. Xia Zhiheng wouldn't easily believe her; Yang Yunxia was his own mother. She would wait until she gathered some evidence before making a decision.

"it is good"

"Yichu, we're almost there. Would you like to come to my house for a while? I have fruit and snacks to eat."

Seeing that Xia Yichu seemed about to reject him, Pei Shizhou immediately added, "I have something to tell you."

"OK"

Xia Yichu agreed just as they arrived at Pei Shizhou's house. He parked the car, and the two of them got out. Pei Shizhou then took out his keys to open the door, letting Xia Yichu go in first before closing the door behind him.

To prevent Gu Yunting from going home unexpectedly, Xia Yichu was determined to know his feelings this time.

"Sit down, and help yourself to whatever you want to eat."

Xia Yichu stared wide-eyed at the table, which was covered with food: snacks, fruit, soda, AD calcium milk, bread, pastries, candy, biscuits, and even small treats.

If Luo Yuekai, the chubby kid, sees this, he'll be ecstatic! I wonder how he's been lately? I should be able to see him the day after tomorrow.

"You have guests coming over, why did you buy so much stuff?"

Pei Shizhou shook his head, and Xia Yichu unceremoniously took a bottle of soda and drank it.

He took a sip of his soda and asked, "Then why did you buy all that stuff? Has Gu Yunting come back?"

Xia Yichu had visited several times but had never seen Pei Shizhou eat any snacks or fruit. The only possibility was that Gu Yunting had returned, and he, like a girl, had a sweet tooth.

"Yichu, I like you."

Pei Shizhou couldn't stand Xia Yichu's expression; it made it seem as if he and Gu Yunting had some illicit relationship. Gu Yunting was a man, a genuine man, not a woman.

"What about Gu Yunting?"

Xia Yichu's mouth reacted faster than her brain, and she was stunned after speaking. She felt no surprise at Pei Shizhou's confession, only a gossipy heart.

"What does this have to do with Gu Yunting? Do you like him?"

Pei Shizhou felt heavy-hearted, wondering if he should invest in business in the Northwest and have Gu Yunting stay there for the rest of his life so that he would never come back.

"Don't you like him?"

Xia Yichu said in disbelief, "Pei Shizhou is all talk and no action. Don't try to frame me."

"No, I didn't. I don't like him, and I don't like men."

Pei Shizhou was afraid that Xia Yichu would misunderstand, so he emphasized the word "male".

His mood was like a rollercoaster, unsure whether to be angry or amused. It was all Gu Yunting's fault for insisting on living with him. No way, he'd find him another place to stay when he got back tonight.

He was glad that Xia Yichu didn't like Gu Yunting. It was better than her misunderstanding that he liked men than her liking Gu Yunting.

"Um, I'm going home now."

Xia Yichu realized she had misunderstood Pei Shizhou, and she felt embarrassed and wanted to run away. Sure enough, what they said on TV was unreliable; it was all just hearsay.

"Wait a minute, you haven't answered my question yet."

Pei Shizhou blocked Xia Yichu's way, not letting her leave. He wanted to know whether Xia Yichu liked him or not.

"What's the problem?"

It wasn't that Xia Yichu was pretending to be stupid; her mind was filled with what others had said about Pei Shizhou and Gu Yunting from her past life.

"I like you, and I'd like to be in a relationship with you, is that okay?"

Pei Shizhou's ears and face turned red. He clenched his fists and stared intently at Xia Yichu.

"My mind is a bit muddled. Let me go back and think about it."

In her past life, apart from Chen Shaoping, everyone who confessed their feelings to Xia Yichu was scared away by her. In high school, a boy from the next class confessed his feelings to her.

Chen Shaoping was also present at the time. Fearing that Chen Shaoping would misunderstand, she was thrown over Xia Yichu's shoulder in front of everyone. From then on, until they graduated from high school, no one dared to confess their feelings to Xia Yichu again.

Even now, no one confesses their feelings to Xia Yichu in college because of her relationship with Chen Shaoping at school, which makes others hesitant to do so.

However, shortly after the start of this semester, some younger students wrote her love letters, which she immediately threw away. This time was different; she admitted to having feelings for Pei Shizhou.

"Okay, I'll take you back."

Pei Shizhou breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Yichu hadn't rejected him directly, so he still had a chance.

"Need not"

After Xia Yichu refused, she grabbed her bag from the sofa and fled in a panic, and Pei Shizhou did not chase after her.
