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

"Pei Shizhou, could you please stop telling everyone we're dating?"

As they left the Zhou family's house, Xia Yichu couldn't help but say, "Is he planning to go to her school in a few days to assert his dominance?"

"What's wrong! I'm ashamed to be seen by others?"

"No, that's not what I meant."

If he can't be seen by others, then who can? Xia Yichu just wanted to have a low-key relationship and didn't want everyone to know.

"So what do you mean? Are you trying to play with my feelings and not take responsibility for me?"

Xia Yichu rolled her eyes. Please, they haven't even been together for 24 hours, and they haven't even held hands. How can she be responsible for him?

"No, I just..."

"That's good. It's getting late, let's hurry to the mall to buy things."

Xia Yichu reluctantly took Pei Shizhou's helmet, put it on, got into the car, and then Pei Shizhou drove off on his motorcycle.

"Zhiheng, was that Shizhou who just walked past from the other side?"

Across the street, Gu Yunting, Xia Zhiheng, and Xia Zhiqian were there. Gu Yunting had driven his car over after getting up. Pei Shizhou's car was being borrowed by Xia Zhiqian to pick up the bride tomorrow, so he drove it over for Xia Zhiheng to take it and decorate it.

He was too busy at work to go; he had to go back to work later. He'd come back tomorrow morning; he and Pei Shizhou were going to be Xia Zhiqian's best men.

He watched as Pei Shizhou drove a girl across the street. She was wearing a helmet, so he couldn't see what she looked like.

Gu Yunting recognized Pei Shizhou's car and the man himself. That build, that face—one look and you knew it was Pei Shizhou. If he were a girl, she'd want to pounce on him.

He wasn't sure unless there was a girl sitting in the back of Pei Shizhou's car. Last night, he thought Pei Shizhou was lying when he said he had a girlfriend.

"Yes"

Xia Zhiheng also saw them pass by, but fortunately Xiao Chu sat properly in the car.

Do you know his girlfriend?

Gu Yunting was even more curious. Xia Zhiheng actually knew about Shi Zhou's relationship before he did, and even knew the girl. That wasn't fair! He'd been spending every day with Pei Shi Zhou lately, how come he didn't know?

"know"

"Brother, they really are together. When did this happen?"

Xia Zhiqian was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet. Women's hearts are unfathomable. Before returning to Pengcheng, Xia Yichu said that she would not be with Pei Shizhou, but now she has contradicted herself so easily.

"yesterday"

"I knew Pei Shizhou had ulterior motives. With looks like that, no woman could resist him."

"Wait a minute, could you tell me who Pei Shizhou's girlfriend is?"

"Yunting, don't you have things to do at the company? You should go now. Zhiqian and I will drive to the flower shop to decorate the car."

After saying that, the two of them each drove off in a car, leaving Gu Yunting standing there dumbfounded. Didn't they just say they were going to take him to the company? Why did they both leave?

Gu Yunting grumbled as he walked to the roadside to hail a taxi to the company, inwardly criticizing Pei Shizhou for prioritizing women over friends.

Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu were already shopping at the mall. He held up two outfits for Xia Yichu to try on.

"I don't want to buy clothes, I already have clothes to wear. Didn't you say you were going to buy Zhiqian a wedding gift? What do you want to buy? Let's go look."

"No need, I've already decided what to buy. I'll have it delivered later. Since you're already here, why don't you try on these two outfits?"

Xia Zhiqian's wedding gift wasn't worth his time; accompanying Xia Yichu to buy her things was more important.

"Okay, let's make it clear first, I'll only try on these two outfits. If they don't fit, we'll leave."

"Okay, go quickly."

Pei Shizhou had good taste; the two outfits he picked out for Xia Yichu fit her perfectly and looked great. Pei Shizhou was very satisfied with his judgment and asked the sales clerk to pack the two outfits up.

Xia Yichu couldn't stop her; she already had plenty of clothes and didn't really want to buy anything.

"Let's go upstairs and take a look."

Pei Shizhou, carrying two bags of clothes, pulled Xia Yichu upstairs, and Xia Yichu followed helplessly.

Upstairs, in the jewelry section, Pei Shizhou's eyes lit up, and he walked straight to a counter.

"Xiao Chu, come over and take a look. Do you like it? This one is nice. Would you like to try it on?" Pei Shizhou said, pointing to an exquisite gold bracelet.

"I don't want it. I have a lot of jewelry, so I won't buy it for now."

After Xia Yichu finished speaking, she took Pei Shizhou's arm and walked away. He was initially feeling down when he heard Xia Yichu say she wasn't going to buy anything, but seeing her take his arm made him feel happy again.

"It's getting late. There's a pretty good Western restaurant here. Shall we go there for dinner?"

"it is good"

Upon entering the Western restaurant, the waiter warmly led them to a window seat. Xia Yichu looked at the menu, struggling to decide what to order, while Pei Shizhou had already expertly placed his order.

Soon, the meal was served, and the aroma of steak filled the air. Pei Shizhou cut off a piece of steak and handed it to Xia Yichu's plate.

"Try it, this steak is pretty good."

"Okay, thank you."

It was past 12:40 when the two finished eating and came out. Pei Shizhou then went to buy two movie tickets.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go buy you popcorn and soda."

"No, it's about to start, let's go in!"

The movie started at 1 PM, and Xia Yichu had just finished eating and didn't want to eat anything. Actually, she didn't want to watch the movie either, but seeing Pei Shizhou's enthusiasm, she felt embarrassed to refuse.

Ironically, Xia Yichu had never been to a movie theater in her past life. The first time she ever saw a movie was with Pei Shizhou, someone she had no connection with in her previous life.

"Xiao Chu, sit down."

Pei Shizhou bought movie tickets for the last row, in a corner. He let Xia Yichu sit next to him, and he sat inside her. The movie didn't start until five minutes later, and the theater wasn't full; it was only about two-thirds full.

Xia Yichu and her group's row was almost full. After the movie started, the lights inside were turned off. The further back you sat, the darker it got, perfect for a young couple's date. Pei Shizhou seemed to know how to make a good impression.

"Xiao Chu, what's wrong?"

Pei Shizhou noticed that Xia Yichu was staring at him, so he leaned over and whispered in her ear.

"fine"

Xia Yichu felt a little awkward; Pei Shizhou was so close to her. His scent wafted to her nose, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe, making her ears feel like they were burning. She turned her face away, unable to look at Pei Shizhou any longer.

Pei Shizhou wasn't much better off; his heart was racing. His grandmother was right—when you come to the movie theater, you have to sit in the corner, and in the last row no less.

Xia Yichu was watching a movie, and Pei Shizhou looked at her with a face full of doting affection. Halfway through the movie, Xia Yichu was engrossed in it when suddenly a warm hand gently covered her hand.

She stiffened and slowly turned her head. Pei Shizhou seemed unaffected, engrossed in watching the movie.

He was actually incredibly nervous. Just now, when he saw Xia Yichu's hand on the chair, he inexplicably took her hand.

Pei Shizhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xia Yichu did not resist, and his courage gradually grew. His eyes were fixed on the movie, and he slowly moved closer to Xia Yichu, wanting to get even closer to her.

Suddenly, the male and female protagonists in the movie, after overcoming countless hardships, finally got together and happily kissed.

Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu simultaneously looked away from the movie, exchanging an awkward glance. When they came out after the movie, both of them were blushing.

"It's so hot inside," Xia Yichu complained.

"Um"

Although Pei Shizhou was also shy, he held Xia Yichu's hand tightly and wouldn't let go.

"I'm going to my sister-in-law's house tonight to keep her company."

"Okay, then I'll take you there tonight, and we'll go for a walk in the park then."

"Who taught you all this, going to the movies and the park? You're quite experienced."
