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

"Yunting, I have a girlfriend, she's a girl, it's inconvenient for us to live together."

Gu Yunting found these words rather awkward, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

"Really? When did you start dating? How come I didn't know? Besides, you're not getting married anytime soon, and my living here won't bother you two."

Pei Shizhou's maternal grandfather was a good cook and lived not far from the Zhou family. Whenever Gu Yunting had free time, he would take some food and eat and drink at the Zhou family's house. Sometimes he would go there directly for breakfast after getting up in the morning. The Zhou couple were very kind people, and Gu Yunting liked going to their house.

"Shizhou, what's your girlfriend's name? Do I know her? Did she pursue you first, or did you pursue her first?"

Gu Yunting looked at Pei Shizhou with a gossipy expression. He thought Pei Shizhou would never have anyone he liked in his life. After all, he had rejected countless women, and just a few days ago, his father introduced him to someone.

Feng Yarou brought the girl to the company, but Pei Shizhou humiliated her severely, and the two of them slunk away.

"Why are you asking these questions? Hurry up and go, I'll take you home."

Pei Shizhou noticed that Gu Yunting didn't seem to have any ulterior motives towards him, only curiosity about his partner. He breathed a sigh of relief; he must have been bewitched to have such thoughts.

No, he was influenced by Xia Yichu to think in that direction. I don't know why she had those messy thoughts in her head.

"No, unless you tell me who your partner is."

I definitely have to leave tonight. I have no choice but to leave. Pei Shizhou is too ruthless. He even took my pillow and blanket. I'll just bring them back tomorrow.

"Hurry up and leave, don't force me to take action. She's going to Xia Zhiqian's wedding the day after tomorrow, then you'll find out."

"Okay."

Gu Yunting reluctantly took the motorcycle keys and left, but Pei Shizhou called out to him, "Wait a minute, you take the car."

"Why? It's more prestigious to have a girlfriend and drive a car."

Gu Yunting had kindly reserved a car for him, but Pei Shizhou took the motorcycle keys from him and handed him the car keys he had taken from the table.

"I'll be spending time with my partner tomorrow and won't be able to go to the office, so I'll leave everything at the office to you. Okay, go ahead."

Gu Yunting stood there looking at him with an expression that was really infuriating, but unfortunately he couldn't beat Pei Shizhou.

Pei Shizhou ignored him, took his clothes to take a shower, and praised him for his quick thinking that afternoon.

Although Xia Yichu hadn't agreed to date him yet, he still packed up Gu Yunting's things and took them away without stopping.

In the morning, Xia Yichu brushed her teeth, washed her face, changed her clothes, and went to open the door. She knew Pei Shizhou would be at her door.

"Have you been waiting a long time?"

Xia Yichu got up as soon as she woke up today, just in case Pei Shizhou was waiting outside for too long, so she didn't linger in bed for a moment.

"No, I just arrived a little while ago. Come on, let's go inside and eat."

Xia Yichu nodded to let him in, then closed the door and followed him inside. As soon as she stepped inside, she smelled an enticing aroma.

Pei Shizhou took out the things he brought, and saw steaming hot Laba porridge and xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) on the table.

"Did you make this?"

Xia Yichu asked that question because it was contained in her own thermos and on a plate.

Pei Shizhou pulled over a chair for her to sit down. "Yes, try it and see if it suits your taste."

Xia Yichu took a small bite of the bun; the soft dough wrapped around the delicious filling, and it tasted wonderful.

"It's delicious! I didn't know you could cook. Have you eaten?"

Pei Shizhou watched her eat happily, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

"I've eaten. Eat more if you like."

Pei Shizhou did eat it. He hadn't cooked for many years and was afraid his skills would be rusty and the food wouldn't taste good, so he tasted a lot first.

This morning, I went to his grandfather's house early with the things I had bought to ask him for advice. His grandfather gave me instructions while I did it myself.

I made fifty or sixty steamed buns, and these few small steamed buns were the eight best-looking ones I picked out from those dozens.

"After dinner, let's go shopping. I haven't bought Zhiqian a gift for his wedding yet, let's go take a look together."

Pei Shizhou thought that now he could finally openly buy things for Xia Yichu, since she was his girlfriend and had no reason to refuse his gifts.

"Sister Miaoying asked me to try on bridesmaid dresses today."

When she went out for dinner last night, she called Xia Zhiqian to tell her she had arrived in Kyoto. Xia Zhiqian told her that Zhou Miaoying had bought her a bridesmaid dress and asked her to come over and try it on tomorrow.

"After you finish eating, let's try on some clothes first, then go shopping at the mall, and in the afternoon we'll go see a movie."

If the clothes don't fit, he can always go to the mall to buy new ones. Going to the movies was his grandmother's idea; she said that young people like that nowadays.

"it is good"

Xia Yichu was full after eating a bowl of porridge and four steamed buns. Pei Shizhou ate the remaining buns. Pei Shizhou only brought one bowl of porridge, knowing that was probably all Xia Yichu could eat.

"Alright, let's go," Pei Shizhou said as he finished washing the dishes and came out.

The two walked to Pei Shizhou's house to get their car. Xia Yichu watched Pei Shizhou push his motorcycle out and fell into deep thought.

"You seem to really enjoy riding motorcycles."

"The car was taken by Yunting. If you'd like to ride in it..."

"No need, I'm fine with anything."

Xia Yichu took the motorcycle helmet from Pei Shizhou and put it on. If she still didn't know Pei Shizhou's little scheme, she would have lived two lifetimes in vain.

Once she got in, she tried her best to avoid Pei Shizhou. Zhou Miaoying's house wasn't far from Xia Zhiqian's. Both houses were built around the same time, and at that time, there were no houses for sale near Xia Zhiqian's house.

Zhou Miaoying's parents bought an old house across the street from Xia Zhiqian, demolished it, and rebuilt it. It's only a ten-minute walk from there.

Yesterday, Pei Shizhou called Xia Yichu to ask for Xia Zhiqian's address, and drove directly to her doorstep. The gate was open, and there were several motorcycles parked outside. He could hear voices coming from inside.

"Xiao Chu, Shi Zhou, you're here. Come in quickly."

It was Aunt Chunhua. Zhou Miaoying had heard from Xia Zhiqian yesterday that Xia Yichu would be coming to their house in the morning. She had already asked her aunt to come out and greet Xia Yichu several times. Xia Yichu only knew her aunt among their relatives, so she arranged for her aunt to come out and greet Xia Yichu.

"Auntie"

"Auntie"

Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu called out and followed Chunhua inside. It was Xia Yichu's first time visiting Zhou Miaoying's house.

Their house is a two-and-a-half-story building, with the first floor measuring approximately 100 square meters. The layout is similar to Xia Zhiqian's house, except that Xia Zhiqian's house is twice the size of theirs.

"Ah Ying is at home"

As soon as she entered, more than a dozen pairs of eyes turned to look at her in the Zhou family's living room. Zhou Miaoying was also there, and when she saw that it really was Xia Yichu, she immediately stood up, walked over, and took Xia Yichu's hand.

"Xiao Chu, come on, let's go upstairs to try on clothes. Big Brother and Second Brother, please take good care of the guests for me. Shi Zhou, please wait downstairs for a moment."

"No need, I'll go up with you."

Zhou Miaoying has six cousins ​​and five male cousins. All of her parents' siblings had sons.

So, seeing a man sitting in the Zhou family's living room, how could Pei Shizhou feel at ease letting Xia Yichu leave his sight?
