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

Two more days passed, and today was Xia Yichu's day to go home. She was taking a 10 a.m. flight and had to transfer in Pengcheng to get home. Pei Shizhou was on his way to the airport to take her.

"Xiao Chu, Song Qihang will be waiting for you at the airport. Be sure to call me when you get home. Also, call me every night before you go to sleep."

"Shizhou, you've said these things so many times since last night. I've also mentioned that there's a phone at home in the county town, but my uncle's family doesn't have one, so I can't call you every day when I get home."

"Then you must call me during the day, at least once every two days."

"Gu Yunting calls you every day. Do you really have the time to wait for my call at home? Shi Zhou, can't you call once every five or six days? During this time, you should focus on your work and wait for me to come back. Then you can go to Pengcheng to see me."

Xia Yichu gently coaxed Pei Shizhou. Last night, Pei Shizhou held her and kept saying he wanted to go home with her. She hugged and kissed Pei Shizhou until she calmed him down.

Of course, Pei Shizhou almost lost control and stayed in Xia Yichu's bathroom for a long time before coming out. After coming out, he sat on the bed and chatted with Xia Yichu, no longer daring to touch her inappropriately.

"Um"

Pei Shizhou responded sullenly, and Xia Yichu glanced at him.

"Shi Zhou, have you found out who Pei Feng asked for help?"

"No, the Li family told people that they didn't hold Pei Feng accountable because of the Zhou family and me. As for why the Zhang family let Pei Zongna go, I don't know."

The Zhang family used Zhang Shanshan's uncle as a scapegoat, and he was arrested and sentenced. Her father was released after paying a fine, but the amount of his illegal gains was confiscated, and he was ordered to cease production and business operations for rectification. His distribution license and drug business license were revoked. It's impossible for the Zhang family to recover in the short term.

"Shizhou, you should move back to the Zhou family's house. I can call them directly when I need to contact you. That way, even if you're busy and not home, Grandpa and Grandma Zhou will still be able to answer my call."

"it is good"

The car arrived at the airport quickly. Pei Shizhou helped Xia Yichu with her luggage, held her hand, and said reluctantly, "Xiao Chu, take good care of yourself when you get home, don't worry me."

Xia Yichu smiled and nodded: "Okay, take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back."

Seeing Pei Shizhou's worried expression, Xia Yichu took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek, then took the things from his hands.

Don't worry, I'll miss you.

Pei Shizhou finally smiled. Xia Yichu went inside to queue for boarding, while Pei Shizhou stood outside, watching her back until she was out of sight before turning away.

Xia Yichu left Kyoto. Now he should focus on making money so he can provide her with a better life in the future.

When Xia Yichu got home, she found the house bustling with activity. She had told her aunt and uncle that her cousin might be coming home for the Chinese New Year, and everyone was busy preparing for the celebration. Upon seeing Xia Yichu return, her relatives warmly surrounded her, asking about her well-being.

An'an is almost twelve months old. He can walk and understand when you talk to him. But he can't talk much yet. He can only say "mama" and "papa," and he says each word one by one.

The day after Xia Yichu returned home, An'an clung to him the whole time. Wherever she went, her little legs would wobble as she followed Xia Yichu, looking incredibly adorable.

During the Spring Festival, visiting relatives and friends, having reunion dinners, and setting off firecrackers made the days fulfilling and joyful. Although Xia Yichu occasionally missed Pei Shizhou and made a few phone calls to him, the company of her family made her feel incredibly warm.

Meanwhile, in Kyoto, Pei Shizhou was completely absorbed in his work, extremely busy every day. But no matter how late it was, he always returned to the Zhou family home on time, afraid that Xia Yichu would call him without his knowledge.

In his spare time, he would stand by the window, gazing into the distance, imagining what Xia Yichu would look like at home during the Chinese New Year.

Finally, five or six days passed, and Xia Yichu went to the convenience store to call Pei Shizhou. On the other end of the phone, the two expressed their longing for each other. Pei Shizhou listened to Xia Yichu's cheerful voice and seemed to see the smile on her face.

After hanging up the phone, Pei Shizhou became even more determined to focus on his work. He needed to finish all the work at hand as soon as possible, hoping that Xia Yichu would return to Pengcheng so he could go there to find her immediately.

Just as Zhou Wenbin himself said, he basically didn't go out during the entire holiday, and even spent the Spring Festival at home with his parents.

Pei Shizhou was counting down the days, and as the start of the school term drew closer, he was filled with joy and anticipation to meet Xia Yichu.

News came from the prison that Yang Yunxian had suddenly died of an illness. Upon receiving the news, Pei Shizhou called his uncle to go to the prison together.

When they arrived at the prison, Xia Zhiheng, Yang Yunxia, ​​the forensic doctor, and the prison warden were all there.

"Waaaaah... Yunxian, how could you just disappear like that!"

Yang Yunxia cried uncontrollably and was supported by Xia Zhiheng. Pei Shizhou's heart sank when he saw Yang Yunxia.

Uncle Zhou

Xia Zhiheng greeted Zhou Wenbin, who nodded but didn't say anything.

"Dr. Zhou"

The prison warden also knew Zhou Wenbin; Zhou Wenbin had taken care of him when Zhou Wenbin was injured on a mission in the army.

"Warden Zhang, when did the person die?" Pei Shizhou asked.

"Just now, less than two hours ago."

At this point, the forensic doctor took off his gloves, walked over, and said, "The prisoner is very likely to have suffered an acute myocardial infarction, but we'll have to wait for the autopsy results to confirm."

After the forensic doctor finished speaking, he took the things Yang Yunxian had eaten and used, as well as the samples taken from her body, to examine them.

Pei Shizhou frowned; he had a feeling things weren't that simple. Yang Yunxian wasn't old, and he'd never heard of him having a history of heart disease before, so how could he suddenly have an acute myocardial infarction?

He looked at Yang Yunxia and saw that she was crying her heart out, her eyes were red and swollen, but there was nothing wrong with her and she seemed normal.

"Auntie, does Yang Yunxian have any illnesses?" the prison warden asked, looking at Yang Yunxia.

"No, she's always been in good health. I've never heard of her feeling unwell," Yang Yunxia said in a hoarse voice.

Zhou Wenbin squatted down and carefully examined Yang Yunxian's body, not missing a single detail. A-Zhou had brought him here because he had doubts about Yang Yunxian's death. Although he wasn't a forensic doctor, he had some knowledge in this area.

"Warden, you must investigate thoroughly to find out whether my cousin's death was an accident or someone wanted to harm her."

Yang Yunxia pulled the prison warden aside and said something profound.

"Mom, what do you mean by that?"

Xia Zhiheng pulled Yang Yunxia aside and asked with a frown.

"I visited Yunxian before the Lunar New Year, and she told me that Xia Yichu had visited her in prison. They have a history of conflict, I..."

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? Xiao Chu did come to see her, but that was half a month ago. Yang Yunxian only died today, how could it have anything to do with Xiao Chu?"

Xia Zhiheng angrily interrupted Yang Yunxian before she could finish speaking. "How can you say such things like that?" he thought. "After my grandmother died, I thought my mother had changed. I never expected her to say such things."

"Auntie, don't worry, our prison will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. We won't wrong an innocent person, nor will we let any bad person go unpunished."

Seeing Xia Zhiheng angry, the warden quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"If anyone's a suspect, it's you, Auntie. You yourself said that you came to see Yang Yunxian just before the New Year," Pei Shizhou said coldly, looking at Yang Yunxia.
