Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat
Chapter 4: Searching for the Box in the Woods Behind the School
Xia Yichu nodded without speaking, standing there in a daze. She knew Wang Shengli. Although her cousin had only known him for a short time, after her cousin committed murder, everyone else kept their distance, but he was the only one who ran around helping and even found a lawyer.
Soon, Lin Xingcheng came running over, panting, and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."
"Let me treat you to dinner; I got my salary today."
"it is good"
Lin Xingcheng didn't object; he would give her some money when he got his salary.
"Wait a minute, did you come to the wrong place?"
This street is full of restaurants, and the street vendor stalls are on the street in front.
"That's right, we're here to eat at the restaurant."
"No, I want fried rice with two eggs, and I also want a soft drink."
Xia Yichu saw a restaurant that looked fairly clean and went inside. Lin Xingcheng saw her go in and could only follow her in.
An hour later, Lin Xingcheng came out, clutching his stomach and muttering to himself. He complained about how expensive the food was and how she had ordered so much food. Xia Yichu didn't find it annoying; on the contrary, she was quite happy.
"I bought you two sets of clothes, two sets of pajamas. They've already been washed, take them home and wear them!"
"Xia Yichu, do you need something from me again? Tell me, what do you want me to do for Chen Shaoping this time?"
Ever since Xia Yichu fell for Chen Shaoping, every time she buys him something, it's for his sake. This time, she's buying him clothes and treating him to dinner; it seems like something quite serious is going on.
"No, I'm your sister. What's wrong with buying you a few clothes?"
"You're the same age as me, only two months older."
"She's only two days older than you, so she's still your older sister. Come on, let's go to my place for a bit. I have something to tell you."
Lin Xingcheng knew that food doesn't come for free, and clothes are hard to come by. The two remained silent the whole way. Xia Yichu had so much to say, but didn't know where to begin.
Lin Xingcheng was worried that Chen Shaoping, that scumbag, was up to something again. Oh well, as long as Xia Yichu wasn't hurt, he, a grown man, could just bear with it.
"Let's drink."
When they were almost home, Xia Yichu bought two more bottles of soda. Lin Xingcheng took them with a grim expression and took a few sips.
"Come in and sit down, I have something to show you."
Lin Xingcheng clenched his fist, but didn't sit down. His eyes were fixed on Xia Yichu taking a piece of paper out of her textbook by the bedside.
"have a look"
"This is Pengcheng University's admission letter. Is it Chen Shaoping's? Why are you showing me his letter?"
Lin Xingcheng himself had the grades; he could easily get into Kyoto University. However, he was worried about Xia Yichu and didn't want to be separated from her. He had estimated that Xia Yichu had an 80% chance of getting into Pengcheng University.
"Open it and take a look."
Although Lin Xingcheng was reluctant, he still opened it and took a look. When he saw Xia Yichu's name on it, he jumped up with joy.
"I knew it, I knew you could do it. We checked the answers, how could you possibly fail?"
In his past life, Lin Xingcheng never believed she hadn't gotten into university. After registering, he went to the school to ask the dean of students for the list of new students. Lin Xingcheng was the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Guangdong Province, and the school valued him highly, so they made an exception and showed him the list of new students.
Upon seeing her name, he went to the electronics factory to find her. He learned that Xia Yichu had given all the money she earned from her part-time job to Chen Shaoping, but he didn't have time to scold her. He immediately called home to ask his parents to send money over, and even lied to the principal, saying that she had missed the registration because she was sick and had to take leave.
Later, Xia Yichu stopped attending school, and Lin Xingcheng was reported for deceiving the school. Because of this, he was almost expelled from school, but the principal, valuing his talent and considering it was his first offense, gave him a warning.
"Let's go register together the day after tomorrow. You should quit your job tomorrow."
"I quit both jobs today, and I even used the money I earned to treat you to dinner."
Lin Xingcheng felt a pang of regret thinking about the 45 yuan they had just spent. He wanted to order two servings of vegetables and a soup instead. Xia Yichu, however, insisted on having braised beef and braised fish. And indeed, they were delicious.
"Don't spend money on me next time. I'm going home now. Don't go out tonight unless you have to."
Xia Yichu knew he was going to call her eldest uncle and aunt. She had grown up in her eldest uncle's house since she was a child. Her mother went back to work after giving birth to her, and her eldest aunt raised her single-handedly.
Her cousin was two months younger than her, and her mother was in poor health and didn't have enough breast milk, so after her cousin was born, she and her cousin drank milk from her aunt.
Thinking about how my aunt had become mentally unstable after my cousin's accident, sometimes lucid and sometimes confused—crying loudly when lucid and laughing loudly when confused—I knew I would never let my cousin kill someone because of me again. I vowed to take good care of my aunt and uncle from now on.
"Yi Chu"
Wu Qiuhong knocked on Xia Yichu's door in the morning. Xia Yichu had been thinking about her past life until very late last night. Surprisingly, she did remember some important things.
She remembered overhearing Chen Shaoping and Yang Mengru talking about how they had been dating in the school's woods not long after the start of the semester.
That grove used to be a mass grave, and no one from the school dared to go there. Since they had just started school, they didn't know that yet. The two of them were so engrossed in their kiss that they accidentally rolled down a small hillside.
Yang Mengru twisted her ankle. The two of them had come out after the dormitory check, and now they couldn't go back. While complaining to Chen Changping about bringing her to this awful place, Yang Mengru poked at the dirt with a twig.
Then they poked something, and since they had nothing else to do, they started digging. The thing wasn't buried very deep, and they dug it out in a few minutes.
It was a small box. Chen Shaoping smashed it open with a stone, and Xia Yichu only heard them say that there were several gold bars inside. Thinking of this, she got angry. Chen Shaoping had gold bars, yet he still asked her for money every month.
"Yichu, aren't you up yet?"
She heard Wu Qiuhong's voice again and immediately got up to open the door.
"You're here, Qiu Hong, what brings you here...?"
"I bought you steamed buns and soy milk. Here, take them. I'm in a hurry, I have to go to work."
Xia Yichu walked in with steamed buns and soy milk. She and Wu Qiuhong had known each other for over a month. Apart from the steamed buns yesterday and the red date porridge the day before, they hadn't treated each other to anything. They were both very frugal with themselves, always paying their own way when they went shopping together.
Xia Yichu finished her breakfast, took two black bags, and headed out. She wanted the small box on the hillside. Since school hadn't started yet and there weren't many people around, and things should be fine once school started, she figured others might be afraid of mass graves, but she wasn't.
It took her almost an hour to get to the school. She got off the bus early and took a side path to the woods. She was familiar with Pengcheng University; she had come to find Chen Shaoping many times in her past life.
The first time she came to see Chen Shaoping, he was very angry and told her to wait for him at the back gate of the school from now on. Just past the back gate was the grove of trees.
Later, Chen Shaoping made an appointment with her to come at 6:30 on the 10th of each month, which was Xia Yichu's payday. She would take the bus to school after get off work, arriving exactly at 6:30.
