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

"Little Chu, how could you team up with him to fight me? Do you know how heartbroken I am?"

"I always thought you weren't such a shallow person, yet you actually fell for Shi Zhou's appearance." Gu Yunting said, clutching his chest and feigning sadness.

"Gu Yunting, you are not allowed to call Xiao Chu 'little sister'."

"You have to let me stay at your house, or I'll start calling her Little Chu, Little Chu."

Xia Yichu looked at Gu Yunting, then at Pei Shizhou, her eyes questioning Pei Shizhou as if to ask him if he was sure Gu Yunting had no feelings for him.

Pei Shizhou actually understood Xia Yichu's meaning. He said with a dark face, "No, Gu Yunting, are you out of your mind? Why do you insist on living with me?"

"I want to eat at Grandpa Zhou's house. If it weren't for the fact that it's not far from here, I would want to eat there. Do you think I would want to live with you?"

Pei Shizhou had a lot of rules, and even after returning from military service, his daily routine was almost the same as when he was in the army. Especially in the morning, no matter how late he went to bed the night before, he had to get up very early.

She couldn't sleep and had to get up, which was one thing, but she also had to drag Gu Yunting out of bed to exercise. She even had a particular way of putting things.

The living room table and floor also need to be cleaned every day, and Gu Yunting suggested that he find someone to come and do the chores. He said he didn't like outsiders coming to his house, so the two of them took turns cleaning.

When it was his turn to clean, Pei Shizhou would check it again, and if it wasn't clean enough, he would sweep it again.

When Pei Shizhou was away from Kyoto, Gu Yunting was having a blast at home. He only started tidying up the house when Pei Shizhou called to say he was coming back.

"Yunting, you can stay at home for the next couple of days. When I get back from Pengcheng, I'll rent a place for you near my grandparents. Don't worry, you don't have to do any cleaning yourself; I'll have Aunt Qiu do it for you."

After figuring out why Gu Yunting was so insistent on living with him, Pei Shizhou breathed a sigh of relief. He'd first check if there were any houses for rent and then rent one.

If someone wants to sell a house again, he'll buy it and give it to them, so Gu Yunting won't stay at his house.

"Really, that's great! I'll stay with my grandparents for a few days. Here's the key back, and I'll give you the plane ticket too."

By the way, you guys take a taxi to the airport yourselves; the company is still busy! I won't take you to the airport.

After finishing his sentence, Gu Yunting left without looking back. He was going to the Zhou family to tell Pei Shizhou's maternal grandparents that he would move his clothes over there tomorrow.

"Xiao Chu, we should go now. What would you like to eat? I'll take you to eat."

"Just grab something to eat, we'll be running out of time."

Xia Yichu checked the time and saw it was already 6:10. There would be one hour and forty minutes until 8:00. It would take about an hour to get to the airport from here.

"it is good"

The two of them took their things to a restaurant near their home for a meal. Xia Yichu ate a bowl of rice and some meat and vegetables before putting down her chopsticks.

Are you full?

"Um"

Pei Shizhou sped up his eating; he wasn't slow, he just ate a lot.

"Alright, let's go!"

After paying, Pei Shizhou came over and took Xia Yichu's hand. Ever since he held her hand yesterday, he had taken every opportunity to do so. He carried a bag of clothes in his right hand and held Xia Yichu's hand with his left as they walked out to hail a taxi.

"Shanshan, that woman is my brother's new girlfriend. She's the granddaughter the Xia family just adopted. Her grandparents and my brother's maternal grandparents are good friends. It must have been the elders who put in a good match between them that led my brother to date her."

After Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu left by car, two women walked out from across the street from the restaurant. They were Zhang Shanshan and Pei Zongna.

Today was Xia Zhiqian's wedding day, and they knew Pei Shizhou would definitely attend. The two of them lingered for a long time across from the restaurant where Xia Zhiqian was hosting the wedding, then followed Xia Yichu and Pei Shizhou home in a taxi. Afraid of being discovered by Pei Shizhou, they didn't follow too closely, watching them from a distance.

"She's so shameless, she actually stayed at my brother's house for several hours."

You can tell if he likes Zhang Shanshan or not. In the army, Pei Shizhou never showed any kindness to any woman. He would ignore women when they spoke to him.

I heard she's still studying.

"Yes, I went to university in Shenzhen."

After learning from Feng Yarou that the two of them were together, Pei Zongna basically found out everything about Xia Yichu before going to find Zhang Shanshan.

Grandpa Xia boasted about Xia Yichu everywhere, and it wasn't hard to find out about her. Pei Zongna spent some money to ask the Yang family for more information.

"You've been free lately, haven't you? Come with me to Pengcheng University to see Xia Yichu tomorrow."

Pei Shizhou happened to be in Pengcheng, so she could catch a few more glimpses of him. He rarely showed up, so it wasn't easy to see him.

"But…"

Pei Zongna was in a bit of a dilemma. Unlike Zhang Shanshan, she wasn't free; she still had to go to work. She had already taken three days off this month, and her salary next month wouldn't be much.

"I'll give you twenty a day."

Pei Zongna rolled her eyes inwardly. She earned twelve yuan a day at work; who cared about her twenty yuan? If Pei Shizhou found out she took Zhang Shanshan to see Xia Yichu, she would get scolded, and if it were her brother, he would definitely get beaten up.

"Shanshan, that's not what I meant. It's just that my factory can't hire people for so many days..."

"Fifty a day"

That's more like it. We'll have Zhang Shanshan go shopping at a mall in Pengcheng and buy some things before she comes back.

"Okay! I'll have my dad go to the factory tonight and ask for leave for me tomorrow. How many days are we going to be gone?"

Pei Zongna works at Pei Feng's factory, where she gets a job as a human resources assistant thanks to Pei Feng's connections. The job is easy, but the pay is low, only 380 yuan a month.

"Five days. Take five days off first, and you can keep this money."

Zhang Shanshan took out three hundred yuan from her wallet and gave it to Pei Zongna. Pei Zongna really wanted it, but was too embarrassed to take it.

"Need not"

Seeing how hypocritical she was, clearly wanting it but still making excuses, Zhang Shanshan simply shoved it into her hand.

"Here you go. I'll have my driver pick you up from your house at eight o'clock tomorrow, and then we'll fly to Shenzhen together."

Pei Zongna had never been on an airplane in her entire life, so she couldn't benefit from Pei Shizhou's fame at all. But it didn't matter; as long as she helped Zhang Shanshan marry Pei Shizhou, she would never have to worry about food or clothing again.

"it is good"

In the morning, Xia Yichu stretched and got out of bed. Pei Shizhou had left after dropping her off last night, and she didn't plan to let him stay overnight.

"Yichu, are you up?"

Xia Yichu was brushing her teeth and washing her face in the yard when she heard Pei Shizhou talking and knocking on the door outside.

"Here it comes."

She washed her face before opening the door, where Pei Shizhou was standing with breakfast in his hand.

"Xiao Chu"

"Come in quickly."

Xia Yichu stepped aside to let him in, then closed the door behind her.

"Are we going to eat all of this?"

Pei Shizhou took out the items; he had bought steamed buns, fried dough sticks, tea eggs, fried dumplings, porridge, and soy milk.

"Eat as much as you can, I'll eat the rest."

Pei Shizhou didn't know what Xia Yichu wanted to eat, so he bought a little bit of everything.

"Xiao Chu"

Xia Yichu sat down to eat breakfast when Pei Shizhou pulled her up and hugged her.

"Stop fooling around, I have to go to school later!"

"It'll only be a little while, it won't interfere with your school."

After finishing his sentence, Pei Shizhou kissed her lips directly. Men really do know how to do things without a teacher. Yesterday, Pei Shizhou, lacking experience, only kissed her lips; now, his tongue was inside her mouth, eagerly entwining with hers.

Xia Yichu's mind went blank for a moment, and her hands instinctively pressed against Pei Shizhou's chest, but she no longer had the strength to push him away.

After a long while, Pei Shizhou reluctantly released her. Xia Yichu's cheeks flushed, and she glared at him, panting.
