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

"Shizhou, what happened to Luo Yuekai that my grandma said was frightened?"

The two took a taxi back to Pei Shizhou's house, and Xia Yichu couldn't wait to ask.

"Didn't you know? He was kidnapped by Xu Yumei's men a while ago. It took us two whole days to rescue him. I heard that he's been waking up from nightmares every night since he got back. He won't even let us turn off the lights when he sleeps. He suffered a lot during those two days."

Xia Yichu was unaware of this matter; no one had mentioned it to her during her two days in Kyoto.

"Where is Xu Yumei? Has the police caught her?"

"She was arrested when she was rescuing Luo Yuekai, and all the kidnappers escaped. According to Xu Yumei, she didn't know them either, but she had met them once near the casino."

She was angry that your aunt and uncle didn't appreciate their past kindness, so she camped out near the casino for people who had lost money and were desperate.

Tell those people that your uncle's family is very wealthy, and she can help lure his youngest son out. She only has one request: a small amount of money, just 100,000 yuan.

Those people were blinded by their losses and agreed to cooperate with Xu Yumei, and things went very smoothly. That day, Luo Yuekai said he wanted to eat hamburgers and fried chicken, but didn't want to go out to eat with Xia Guofang, so he asked her to bring some back to eat.

Luo Yuechuan was doing his homework upstairs. Xia Guofang, thinking that Xu Yumei hadn't appeared for several days, didn't call her eldest son down to check on her younger son. She simply told Luo Yuekai to play in front of their house and not to wander off.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yuekai was taken away by Xu Yumei shortly after he left. Xu Yumei had been keeping an eye on the Luo family for several days, and seeing Luo Yuekai playing alone in front of the house, she certainly didn't want to miss this opportunity.

She simply walked to the Luo family's door and said she would take Luo Yuekai out to play, and he happily followed her. Then Xu Yumei took him to a secluded place and had two men kidnap Luo Yuekai.

Those people then obtained the Luo family's phone number from Xu Yumei and called Xia Guofang demanding one million yuan. They also threatened her, telling her not to report it to the police, saying they would kill her if she did.

Xia Guofang didn't have enough money, so she called Luo Hao to come back. It was Luo Hao who secretly called the police. Just in case, Xia Zhiheng also asked Pei Shizhou and Gu Yunting for help, which successfully rescued Luo Yuekai.

"Shizhou, what's wrong?"

After Pei Shizhou finished speaking, he walked to the front door and leaned his head on Xia Yichu's shoulder.

"I drank too much, and I feel a little dizzy."

"Then give me the key and I'll open the door. You can go home and get some sleep."

"It's in my pocket, take it yourself."

Xia Yichu didn't know if Pei Shizhou was really drunk or pretending. She remembered Xia Zhiqian saying that Pei Shizhou had drunk nine cups of wine for her.

She reached into Pei Shizhou's pocket to get the key. His pocket was quite deep, so Xia Yichu didn't dare to touch it carelessly. She pulled her hand out as soon as she got the key.

Pei Shizhou's face and ears were even redder now. He had a good alcohol tolerance; aside from a few drinks when picking up the bride, he had drunk quite a bit for Xia Zhiqian at the banquet. His mind was quite clear, just a little dizzy from the cold wind, and he walked about the same as usual.

"Alright, let's go inside. Don't lean your head on my shoulder, I'll help you in."

Pei Shizhou is nearly 1.9 meters tall, while Xia Yichu, although much taller than when she was first reborn, is only 1.68 meters tall.

She was a head shorter than Pei Shizhou, and it was difficult for her to walk with her head resting on her shoulder. Besides, Pei Shizhou didn't look drunk when they came back by car.

"Um"

Pei Shizhou obediently moved his head away, and Xia Yichu took his hand and went inside.

"Wait a minute, the door isn't closed."

Halfway there, Pei Shizhou decided to turn back. He wanted to be alone with Xia Yichu and didn't want anyone to disturb them. This time, he could only spend a maximum of two days with Xia Yichu while escorting her back to Pengcheng.

"Don't go, wait here for me, I'll go close the door."

Xia Yichu pulled Pei Shizhou back, then went over and closed the door herself.

"Alright, let's go!"

Pei Shizhou stopped causing trouble and obediently walked home with Xia Yichu's help.

"Lie here for a while, I'll go to the kitchen and get you a glass of water."

Xia Yichu helped Pei Shizhou sit on the sofa and said she would go to the kitchen to get some water. Pei Shizhou's family didn't even have a thermos, so they had to boil water on the spot.

Five minutes later, the water boiled, and Xia Yichu picked up a cup to pour some water. Then, remembering something, she walked to the kitchen doorway, glanced at Pei Shizhou sleeping on the sofa, and after a moment's thought, poured water from her spatial storage into the cup.

This is a good opportunity. Pei Shizhou is drunk and definitely not as vigilant as usual. Xia Yichu usually doesn't dare to give him water from her space, so she'll take this opportunity to give him a drink.

Xia Yichu took the water and walked over, squatted down and called out, "Pei Shizhou, wake up, get up and drink some water."

Pei Shizhou opened his eyes groggily, looking at Xia Yichu in front of him. He could see her mouth opening and closing, but he couldn't hear what she was saying.

"Shizhou, get up, drink some water, and then rest."

He felt that the person in front of him was as beautiful as a painting, and as if possessed, he raised his hand to touch her face. Xia Yichu was startled by his sudden action and almost dropped the cup in her hand.

Pei Shizhou gently stroked her cheek with his thumb, his voice low and husky: "Xiao Chu, you are so beautiful."

Xia Yichu felt her face instantly burn, and her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.

"Do you want some water? If not, I'm going home."

"No, I'll drink it."

Pei Shizhou sat up, took the cup from Xia Yichu's hand, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Thanks."

His voice was slightly hoarse, and Xia Yichu stared at him nervously, wanting to see how he would react after drinking the space water.

After finishing his water, Pei Shizhou put the glass on the table. He took Xia Yichu's hand and helped her sit down, then leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

Xia Yichu felt a little uneasy, wondering if Pei Shizhou would notice that something was wrong with the water.

"How are you? Are you feeling better?"

Pei Shizhou knew as soon as he took a sip of the water that Xia Yichu had given him. It was the kind of water that made people feel very comfortable, and apart from being sweet, it had no medicinal taste.

No one knew how she did it; Xia Yichu's dress couldn't hide anything, and her bag was on the table. Pei Shizhou had always thought that Xia Yichu had some kind of powder on her and had slipped something into their water.

Now it seems that's not the case; he's quite certain Xia Yichu has nothing on her. Where did all that water come from? Pei Shizhou closed his eyes because he didn't want Xia Yichu to see the shock in his eyes; he needed to calm down.

"Much better"

Pei Shizhou sat up, wrapped his arms around Xia Yichu's waist from behind, and inhaled deeply into her neck. Xia Yichu had styled her hair in a bun today, and her neck was fair and delicate, as flawless as a freshly peeled egg.

Fortunately, the dress was conservative, and her chest wasn't exposed at all. But when he put his arm around her, her body instantly stiffened, and her heart pounded like a drum.

"Pei Shizhou, what... what are you doing?"

She stammered, trying to break free from his embrace. She caught a faint smell of alcohol on Pei Shizhou, which wasn't unpleasant at all.

Pei Shizhou hugged her tighter and whispered in her ear, "Xiao Chu, don't move."

The warm breath sprayed on her neck, making Xia Yichu's face turn even redder.

"Pei Shizhou, don't pretend to be drunk and take advantage of me. Let me go right now."

"Xiao Chu, can I hug you for a while? I won't do anything."

Xia Yichu turned her head and glared at Pei Shizhou, whose gaze was gentle and affectionate.

She blushed and was about to turn her head away when suddenly, Pei Shizhou pulled one of his hands away from her waist and placed it on her head.

He gently moved her head closer to him, forcing Xia Yichu's head to get close, and her heart rate instantly soared to its peak.

Unsurprisingly, Pei Shizhou kissed her lips. Xia Yichu stared at him wide-eyed in disbelief. Hadn't he just said he wouldn't do anything? Those words had only been spoken for seconds before he contradicted himself.

Xia Yichu's mind went blank. She subconsciously tried to push Pei Shizhou away, but when she put her hands on his chest, she had no strength left.

Pei Shizhou's kiss carried a hint of wine's aroma, making her slightly dizzy. She quickly succumbed. Pei Shizhou was inexperienced, but he was very gentle.
