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

For several days in a row, Pei Shizhou led his men to lie in ambush near the Luo family's residence, but they did not find Yang Yunxia.

The woman who was arrested that night, after being interrogated, said that she had gone to make breakfast for Yang Yunxia's family.

The woman also said that she didn't go every day; when Yang Yunxia needed her to make breakfast, she would come to her door that evening to talk to her.

I usually arrive at Yang Yunxia's house around 5 a.m., as for why I make breakfast so early.

She said she didn't know either; as long as she could make money, she didn't care about anything else. Going there earlier meant she could do other work anyway, since she was too old to sleep.

It's easy to imagine how cautious Yang Yunxia is; she even had someone scout the way for her when she went home.

Pei Shizhou gave them a strict order: they must wait until it was confirmed that it was Yang Yunxia before making any arrests, and they must not let her escape again.

"Shizhou, is Yang Yunxia really coming to the Luo family? It's been a week and she still hasn't shown up."

Lin Xingyuan said irritably that he was afraid Yang Yunxia would go to Pengcheng to find Xiao Chu. If it weren't for Xiao Chu asking him to help Pei Shizhou in Kyoto and repeatedly assuring Lin Xingyuan that she would be careful, Lin Xingyuan would have gone to Pengcheng long ago.

After all, Xia Guoan is out of danger, and with so many people in Kyoto, surely they can protect Xia Guoan.

"Brother, there's no other way but to wait now."

Pei Shizhou was uncertain at this moment, but he had no choice. Regardless of whether Yang Yunxia appeared or not, he could not abandon the Luo family.

Yang Yunxia is ruthless. If something happens to the Luo family, Pei Shizhou will definitely feel guilty.

"I don't care. I'll wait two more days. If Yang Yunxia doesn't show up, I'm going to Pengcheng."

After finishing his sentence, Lin Xingyuan took his clothes and went to take a shower. It was almost nine o'clock, and he was exhausted. He wanted to go to sleep as soon as he finished showering.

Pei Shizhou and Yu Rongbing had already taken a shower, and they could tell that Lin Xingyuan was clearly in a bad mood.

"Brother Pei, why don't we send Xingyuan to Pengcheng? The seven of us are enough to capture Yang Yunxia."

"It's nothing, he was just grumbling. Xiao Chu won't let him go back to Pengcheng, he won't leave."

There are eight of them now. Luo Dayou and his wife just finished get off work when it got dark, so Pei Shizhou sent two people to protect them on their way home. Luo Dayou's younger brother and his wife won't get off work until 9:30, so they also need to be protected.

The remaining four people stayed near the Luo family's residence to keep watch; there were just enough people. Although Xiao Chu had told him that Yang Yunxia might set fire to the Luo family's house.

However, just in case, Pei Shizhou still sent someone to protect the four of them as they left work.

"Brother Pei, then..."

Yu Rongbing was about to speak again when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Brother Pei, I'll go open the door."

He stood up and walked out. Pei Shizhou waited inside for a while before Yu Rongbing came in with a girl, looking quite gossipy.

Miss Yu

Pei Shizhou stood up in surprise and exclaimed, wondering what Yu Mengxi was doing at his house at this time.

Mr. Pei

Yu Mengxi was equally surprised. She had come to find Lin Xingyuan, and this address was the one Lin Xingyuan had left for her before he left that day.

Jiang Jinning has been in great spirits lately and has found a new job. Yu Mengxi didn't want to owe anyone favors, and since she didn't have to work today, she went to the address Lin Xingyuan had left to invite him to dinner.

"Miss Yu, are you looking for Xia Zhiheng and the others?" Pei Shizhou asked.

"no"

Yu Mengxi waved her hand in denial, and Yu Rongbing quickly said, "Brother Pei, she's here to see Xingyuan."

"Who will come to find me?"

Lin Xingyuan had just finished showering and came out, his hair still wet. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Yu Mengxi. Then he was happy; he had been too busy lately to have time to see Yu Mengxi.

Lin Xingyuan

Yu Mengxi didn't expect to run into Lin Xingyuan, who had just finished showering. She looked at Lin Xingyuan a little embarrassed.

He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, which was soaked in many places, and the outline of his figure was faintly visible. He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the water droplets from his hair and walked towards Yu Mengxi with a smile.

"Why are you here?"

Yu Mengxi's cheeks flushed. She hadn't expected Lin Xingyuan to have such a good physique. She'd seen him in long sleeves before and thought he was quite thin. She avoided his gaze, a little embarrassed to look at Lin Xingyuan.

"I...I've come to thank you for helping Xiaoning before, and I'd like to treat you to a meal."

"Wait for me a moment, I'll go change my clothes. Shi Zhou, please take good care of Meng Xi for me."

Pei Shizhou watched the two calling each other so affectionately, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up. He teased, "Alright, you can go without worry."

Lin Xingyuan quickly went back to his room to change his clothes. Yu Rongbing winked at him and whispered to Pei Shizhou, "Brother Pei, Xingyuan's having a lucky streak with women." Pei Shizhou smiled and nodded.

Yu Mengxi stood there somewhat awkwardly, and Pei Shizhou quickly invited her to sit down, "Miss Yu, please sit down, don't stand."

Yu Mengxi sat down, her face flushed, her hands unconsciously clutching the hem of her clothes. It seemed that Yu Mengxi also had some feelings for Lin Xingyuan; when Pei Shizhou met Yu Mengxi before, she wasn't the shy, bashful type.

A short while later, Lin Xingyuan came out, looking refreshed and ready. He walked up to Yu Mengxi, smiled, and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting. Let's go."

Yu Mengxi stood up, secretly glanced at Lin Xingyuan, and said softly, "Okay."

Just as the two were about to leave, Pei Shizhou suddenly remembered something and called out, "Xingyuan, be careful and come back early. We have things to do later."

Lin Xingyuan turned around and waved, "I know, Shizhou, don't worry."

After saying that, he left with Yu Mengxi. Inside the house, Yu Rongbing said with a smile, "Brother Pei, it seems Xingyuan won't be clamoring to go to Pengcheng this time!"

Pei Shizhou smiled and shook his head. "Don't make fun of him. You're not getting any younger. You should find someone soon."

"Brother Pei, I also want a girlfriend. I went on blind dates in the army before, but none of the girls liked me. What can I do? Brother Pei, how about you ask your wife to introduce me to someone?"

Yu Rongbing's family is from the countryside and their financial situation isn't particularly good. The girls in the military's cultural troupe are beautiful and have great figures. Their standards are a bit high; they either require their blind date to be a military officer or to come from a well-off family.

Yu Rongbing has none of these things; the girls who go on blind dates with him are only doing so because of the matchmaker.

Everyone was just going through the motions, and after a while, Yu Rongbing realized this himself and started refusing everyone's good intentions in introducing him to potential partners.

"Okay, I'll tell her when she comes to Kyoto."

Pei Shizhou thought to himself, "What would it look like if I had a girlfriend and all my friends didn't?" He also thought, "And Gu Yunting, I need to find him a girlfriend soon, so he won't bother me all the time."

"Really, thank you, Brother Pei."

Yu Rongbing only went home once after being discharged from the army, and then came to Kyoto to see Pei Shizhou. He mainly wanted to see how Pei Shizhou's hand was recovering. When he learned that Pei Shizhou's hand had recovered completely, Yu Rongbing was overjoyed. He had been Pei Shizhou's soldier since he enlisted.

Pei Shizhou was truly strict with them, always taking the lead in any dangerous situations during missions. Pei Shizhou had saved him several times; it's fair to say he would have died long ago without Pei Shizhou.

After seeing Pei Shizhou, he originally wanted to find a job in the county town. Pei Shizhou asked him to stay and help out, and he agreed to stay without hesitation.

"Alright, go to sleep now."

"Okay, I wonder if Xingyuan will be willing to go home to sleep later. Sigh, it's so good to have a boyfriend. I don't want to go to sleep now that I have a boyfriend."

Pei Shizhou glanced at him and sighed. He did have a girlfriend, but now he had no one to keep him company and could only go to sleep.

Lin Xingyuan led Yu Mengxi to a cozy restaurant, where the two ate and chatted in a very harmonious atmosphere.

Yu Mengxi gradually relaxed, a smile spreading across her face. Of course, in the end, Lin Xingyuan insisted on paying.
