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

On Xia Yichu's first day of school, Pei Shizhou accompanied her to school. She went to pick up her new textbooks and attend a class meeting, while Pei Shizhou waited for her on campus.

While Xia Yichu was waiting, some people tried to chat up Pei Shizhou. Pei Shizhou ignored them with a cold face.

Xia Yichu didn't come out until after 10 o'clock. He immediately smiled and went over to her, taking the textbook from her hand.

"Xiao Chu, are you coming to school this afternoon?"

"Need not"

She didn't live in the dormitory, and since the dormitory students had to clean in the afternoon, Xia Yichu didn't need to come to school.

"Then I'll take you out to play. How about we go to a Western restaurant for lunch?"

While waiting for Xia Yichu, Pei Shizhou had already asked Song Qihang to bring the company car over, which was now parked in front of Xia Yichu's house.

"it is good"

The two arrived at a stylish Western restaurant, where a hostess in a neat uniform stood at the entrance. Inside, soft lighting bathed each table, and melodious music filled the air.

Pei Shizhou skillfully pulled out a chair for Xia Yichu, and only sat down opposite her after she had sat down.

The waiter handed over the menu, and Xia Yichu flipped through it curiously. Pei Shizhou patiently introduced the steak, pasta, salad, and other dishes to her.

In the end, they ordered a filet mignon, a spaghetti bolognese, and a vegetable salad.

Soon, the dishes were served one after another. The steak sizzled and emitted an enticing aroma; the pasta was bright in color and rich in meat sauce; the vegetable salad was refreshing and delicious.

Xia Yichu took a bite of the steak; it was tender and juicy, and she couldn't help but show a satisfied expression. Pei Shizhou looked at her, the corners of his mouth also turning up slightly, and the two enjoyed their meal in this warm atmosphere.

"Xiao Chu, is there anywhere you'd like to go this afternoon?"

"I want to visit Uncle Wu's house. I wonder if Jiaojiao has started school today."

When Xia Yichu went home for winter vacation, she asked Aunt Guihua for two double-sided embroidered fans that she had made herself, intending to give them to Jiaojiao. She took the two fans with her when she went home to put away her textbooks.

"Okay, I'll go with you," Pei Shizhou said indulgently.

After finishing their meal, the two headed to the Wu family's house. Upon arrival, Xia Yichu asked Pei Shizhou to park the car on the side of the road. Driving in would require the Wu family to come out and escort them, which was too much trouble.

She walked in, and the guards at the gate all recognized Xia Yichu. She only needed to sign her name to get in.

Xia Yichu and Pei Shizhou signed their names and went inside. As they approached the Wu family's house, they heard cheerful laughter coming from inside. Xia Yichu went up and knocked on the door. Pei Shizhou was carrying the things he had just bought at the mall.

Uncle Wu

Uncle Wu

Wu Mingli opened the door, and his face lit up with a smile when he saw Xia Yichu. He glanced behind Xia Yichu and Pei Shizhou, but didn't see Lin Xingcheng. His disappointment was palpable as he gestured for the two of them to come in.

"Xiao Chu, Shi Zhou, come in quickly."

Jiaojiao spotted Xia Yichu at a glance and ran over excitedly.

"Sister Xiaochu, I missed you so much! You've finally come!"

Xia Yichu smiled and handed the two fans in her hand to Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, these are gifts I brought for you."

Jiaojiao took the fan, her eyes lighting up instantly. She gently opened it, revealing an exquisite double-sided embroidery pattern. "Wow, what a beautiful fan! Sister Xiaochu, did you make this yourself?"

Xia Yichu smiled and shook her head. "It was made by my neighbor, Auntie. I think you'll definitely like it."

Jiaojiao played with the fan with great delight, thanking it repeatedly. Wu Mingli also came over, carefully examining the fan, and couldn't help but praise, "The craftsmanship of this double-sided embroidery is truly exquisite; every stitch and every thread is so delicate."

At this moment, Chen Wanrou also came out from inside. She was very happy to see Xia Yichu and warmly invited them to sit down.

"Xiao Chu, who is this...?" Chen Wanrou asked, looking at Pei Shizhou.

"Sister Wanrou, this is my boyfriend, Pei Shizhou."

Just as Chen Wanrou had guessed, the two looked very well-matched standing together.

"Hello, Sister Wanrou."

Chen Wanrou looked Pei Shizhou up and down with a smile, "Oh my, what a handsome man! Xiao Chu, you have excellent taste."

After saying that, he pulled Xia Yichu to sit on the sofa and started chatting. Wu Mingli then warmly invited Pei Shizhou to have some tea, and the two of them also began to talk.

Jiaojiao skipped and twirled around with her fan, showing it off to everyone every now and then. Meanwhile, Chen Wanrou asked Xia Yichu about her school, to which Xia Yichu replied with a smile. Pei Shizhou and Wu Mingli, on the other hand, chatted happily about work and current events.

"By the way, Xiao Chu, why didn't Xiao Cheng come to Pengcheng with you?"

"Uncle Wu, Xiao Cheng had something come up and didn't come home for the New Year. He said he's busy lately and doesn't know when he'll be free to come back."

Lin Xingcheng called back the day before the Lunar New Year to say that there was a learning opportunity and he wouldn't be going back this year.

He has already sent the money back and told them to remember to pick it up at the post office. He sent back six thousand, two thousand each for Xia Yichu and Lin Xingyao, and one thousand each for Lin Weidong and his wife.

His biggest worry was Xia Yichu. He only felt at ease after hearing what Lin's mother had said about Xia Yichu's situation over the past few months.

Xia Yichu had already told her family and Xia Guoan not to tell Lin Xingcheng that she had been kidnapped by spies, because she was afraid that Lin Xingcheng would run back without a care in the world.

As dusk approached, Xia Yichu and Pei Shizhou prepared to take their leave. Chen Wanrou quickly said, "It's so late, let's have dinner here."

Xia Yichu was about to refuse when Jiaojiao tugged at her sleeve, "Sister Xia Yichu, please stay for dinner."

Xia Yichu looked helplessly at Pei Shizhou, who nodded.

"What, do I need Shi Zhou's permission to stay at my house for dinner?"

Wu Mingli said to Xia Yichu with a look of disappointment, and Xia Yichu blushed.

"Uncle Wu, that's not what I meant."

Pei Shizhou quickly said, "Uncle Wu, you're joking. Xiao Chu can decide for you."

Chen Wanrou smiled and smoothed things over, "Alright, alright, everyone stay for dinner. I'll go prepare it right away."

After saying that, he went into the kitchen. Wu Mingli pulled Pei Shizhou to the study, saying they wanted to have a good talk about spies. Xia Yichu played with Jiaojiao in the living room. Before long, Chen Wanrou and the nanny brought out a table full of delicious food.

Everyone sat together, filled with laughter and chatter. Jiaojiao kept putting food on Xia Yichu's plate, saying, "Sister Xiaochu, eat more."

Xia Yichu patted Jiaojiao's head, "Jiaojiao, be good, you should eat more too."

At the dinner table, Wu Mingli was very satisfied with Pei Shizhou and said he wanted to visit his home more often. Pei Shizhou smiled and agreed. After the meal, Xia Yichu and Pei Shizhou said goodbye again.

Wu Mingli and Chen Wanrou stopped trying to stop her, but Jiaojiao was reluctant to part with Xia Yichu and held onto her hand tightly.

Xia Yichu comforted her, "Jiaojiao, I'll come see you again next time."

Jiaojiao then let go of his hand. Xia Yichu and Pei Shizhou walked out of the Wu family's house, the moonlight shining on them. Hand in hand, they slowly walked towards the car parked at the intersection, ending this fulfilling and pleasant day.
