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

"Come home early after school, I'll cook for you."

Pei Shizhou stood at the door, looking at Xia Yichu with a satisfied expression. Xia Yichu rolled her eyes at him and walked away without looking back.

Pei Shizhou touched his nose sheepishly, admitting that he had gone a bit too far and couldn't control himself.

"Yichu, did you wear lipstick today? Where did you buy it? The color is so beautiful!"

As Xia Yichu entered the school gate, Wang Yarong stopped her. Wang Yarou used to be her roommate, and she liked to wear makeup and dress up.

Having done extensive research in this area, I noticed today that Xia Yichu's lips were warm and full, with a rosy hue that made her complexion look exceptionally beautiful. In the past, when the two met, they would at most nod, but this time I couldn't resist stopping her to ask about her lipstick.

Xia Yichu's face flushed instantly. She subconsciously touched her lips, recalling Pei Shizhou's kiss that morning, and her heart suddenly raced.

She feigned nonchalance and said, "I wasn't wearing lipstick."

Wang Yarong looked at her suspiciously. "Really? But this color is different from your usual one. I thought it was lipstick."

"Class is about to start, I have to go now."

Xia Yichu felt uneasy under her gaze, so she made an excuse to leave, planning to settle accounts with Pei Shizhou when she got back.

"Xia Yichu is really something. She wouldn't even tell me where she bought her lipstick. And she said she wasn't wearing any lipstick? What a load of ruby!"

Wang Yarou said angrily that she used to live with Xia Yichu and knew that Xia Yichu was a cold person who did not like to hang out with them.

She hadn't offended Xia Yichu, yet she was so stingy, refusing to tell her where she bought the lipstick. She wanted to buy it herself, not ask Xia Yichu for help.

"Ya Rou, I think what she said is true. She might be in a relationship. Do you think it's possible that her lips were kissed by her boyfriend, and it's not because she was wearing lipstick?"

Zhang Huan spoke with a gossipy look and a bit of excitement. Since Xu Shaoyang and Lin Xingcheng left the school, Zhou Shuyue died, and Chen Shaoping was arrested, things have been calm and there's nothing new happening at the school.

Xia Yichu is the school's undisputed beauty queen, and she has always kept a low profile. Apart from this year's freshman male students, no one dares to confess their feelings to her or provoke her.

People are quite interested in her love life. It is said that a while ago a man came to pick her up from school in a beat-up motorcycle, and the female classmates who were jealous of Xia Yichu's appearance secretly laughed at her behind her back.

"You mean the man who waited for her at the school gate a few days ago? I heard that man is a hoodlum who does nothing all day and used to loiter around the school."

Xia Yichu is so beautiful, and she's a college student, how could she be interested in him? What was she thinking? Any guy she could easily find at school would be better than him. Like that Chen Tao, his dad is the director of the Education Bureau.

Countless girls at school had their eyes on Chen Tao, but he didn't like any of them and only liked Xia Yichu.

I heard he writes Xia Yichu love letters every day, each with a different twist, but Xia Yichu just throws them in the trash without even glancing at them.

Wang Yarou said enviously that Xia Yichu was beautiful, and those who liked her all came from good families. She dressed herself up beautifully every day, hoping to marry a man from a wealthy family. Unfortunately, the men she liked didn't like her back, and the men she didn't like liked her, but that was useless.

"Maybe not, that man might just be her friend."

Xu Shaoyang has a good family background and good looks, yet Xia Yichu didn't fancy him. Zhang Huan couldn't believe that Xia Yichu could be interested in a man with no background and an ordinary appearance.

"Who she likes is none of our business. Let's go."

There are only five people in their dormitory now: besides her and Chen Huan, there are Zhou Shuqi, Chen Xiaorou, and Jiang Meixiang. Zhang Yuanyuan and Li Xiaoman have also moved out.

Xia Yichu has a better relationship with Li Xiaoman and Jiang Meixiang; they can exchange a few words when they meet on the street. She only nods to the other girls in the dormitory.

"Xia, could you give me a chance? I really like you." Chen Tao handed a bouquet of flowers to Xia Yichu.

Wang Yarou and Zhang Huan arrived at the stairwell just in time to see Chen Tao confessing his feelings to Xia Yichu. Previously, he had always asked others to deliver love letters to Xia Yichu for him, but today he had mustered the courage to confess to her himself.

"Together! Together!" someone in the crowd shouted.

"Together"

"Together"

One after another, everyone joined in the commotion, while Wang Yarou and Zhang Huan stood by watching the excitement.

"Chen Tao, I have a girlfriend."

Xia Yichu frowned, her face full of displeasure. She had already clearly rejected Chen Tao by having the person who helped him retrieve his letter deliver a message to him. She could simply throw away love letters a few times or simply refuse them altogether.

Only Chen Tao kept writing to her, which annoyed Xia Yichu. Just now, he even brought a few people to block her way, and now a crowd of people are gathered at the stairwell watching the commotion.

"That's impossible. Are you lying to me by saying you have a boyfriend because you don't want to accept me?"

A while ago, Xia Yichu only said they weren't a good match, but didn't mention having a boyfriend. The reason Chen Tao stopped her here to confess his feelings was because he heard that a man was waiting for Xia Yichu at the school gate.

He was afraid that Xia Yichu would be with someone else, so he wanted to confess his feelings to her in person today.

"Class is starting, what are you all doing gathered there?"

Upon hearing the headmaster's voice, the onlookers scattered in a flurry. Xia Yichu followed suit, and Chen Tao, unwilling to give up, could only leave first.

"See, I guessed right! I told you Xia Yichu had a boyfriend, and her lips must have been kissed by him," Chen Huan said excitedly.

"Alright, that's enough, let's go."

Chen Huan is the most gossipy person; anything she knows will be known to everyone in the school within three days.

Pei Shizhou went to the company, not daring to linger too long, and rushed back to the market to buy groceries and cook. He finished cooking before Xia Yichu got out of school, and seeing that it was still early, he went to pick her up from school.

"Yichu, I don't believe you have a boyfriend. You're lying to me, aren't you?"

Chen Tao blocked Xia Yichu at the school gate again after school; he still wouldn't give up. Xia Yichu was impatient and about to explode.

"She didn't lie to you, I am her boyfriend."

Pei Shizhou stepped out from the crowd, walked to Xia Yichu's side, and took her hand. Chen Tao stared at Pei Shizhou; his height and appearance completely overshadowed him, and he felt ashamed and took a step back.

"Shizhou, what brings you here?"

Xia Yichu let Pei Shizhou lead her. It was good that he came; it was a good opportunity to get rid of Chen Tao's entanglement.

"I've cooked dinner and I want to come to the school to pick you up and take you home."

"Okay, let's go."

"Xiao Chu, wait for me a moment."

Xia Yichu nodded and waited where she was, while Pei Shizhou walked over to Chen Tao's side.

"Xiao Chu is my girlfriend. I hope you will stop bothering her in the future."

Pei Shizhou stared sharply at Chen Tao, completely disregarding him.

"I...I understand."
