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

After a long flight, Xia Yichu arrived in Kyoto and saw Pei Shizhou and Xia Zhiheng waiting for her as soon as she stepped out of the airport.

Xia Yichu wasn't surprised at all that Pei Shizhou came to pick her up at the airport; Song Qihang was an employee of Pei Shizhou's company. She knew Pei Shizhou would find out she'd asked Song Qihang to help buy the plane ticket. But Xia Yichu was genuinely surprised to see Xia Zhiheng there.

"Xiao Chu"

As soon as Xia Yichu stepped out of the airport, Pei Shizhou spotted her immediately. He walked over quickly, and Xia Zhiheng followed closely behind. Once beside Xia Yichu, Xia Zhiheng began to speak.

"Xiao Chu, why did you hang up on me? At first, I tried calling back but couldn't get through. Then Wang Zhijie answered and said you were on your way to Kyoto by plane."

While Xia Zhiheng was speaking, Pei Shizhou took the things from Xia Yichu's hands with one hand and held her hand with the other.

"I want to see Rena."

Xia Yichu directly told Xia Zhiheng the purpose of her trip to Kyoto. Xia Zhiheng frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

"Xiao Chu, did you eat on the plane?"

Xia Yichu shook her head. Upon hearing this, Pei Shizhou said with concern, "Then let's go get something to eat first. It's almost eleven o'clock now, we can't go hungry."

Xia Zhiheng chimed in, "Yes, we can talk about other things after we've eaten."

Xia Zhiheng didn't want Xia Yichu to see Lingna. She was so cunning, and Xiao Chu was young and inexperienced. She could easily be fooled by her.

At the same time, she was also afraid that Lingna would talk nonsense with Xia Yichu, sow discord between her and her family, and make her feel bad or create a rift between them.

"it is good"

It's late at night and she can't see anyone anyway, so she might as well have dinner, rest for the night, and then go see Reina.

The three of them went to a restaurant, and after ordering, Pei Shizhou thoughtfully poured Xia Yichu a glass of warm water.

While the dishes were being served, Xia Zhiheng began to persuade Xia Yichu again: "Xiao Chu, I'll tell you whatever you want to know. There's no need to see her."

Xia Yichu pursed her lips and said softly, "Brother Zhiheng, there are some things I want to ask her myself."

At this moment, the dishes were served one after another, their aroma filling the air, and Xia Zhiheng stopped talking.

Pei Shizhou didn't care; Xia Yichu could see whomever she wanted. He kept putting food on Xia Yichu's plate and said gently, "Eat something warm first."

"Um"

As Xia Yichu ate her meal, she was still thinking about Lingnai. The reason she rushed to see her was because she was afraid that Lingnai would be sentenced to prison these days and she would never have the chance to see her again.

After finishing her meal, Xia Yichu returned to her apartment. She washed up and lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

"Shizhou, why don't you help persuade Xiaochu? You know how scheming Lingna is, who knows what she'll say to Xiaochu?"

After the two left Xia Yichu's house, Xia Zhiheng began to question Pei Shizhou.

"It's alright, Xiao Chu knows how to behave."

Aren't you worried about Xiao Chu?

Xia Zhiheng was extremely frustrated. He was the only one who was anxious. He regretted calling Xiao Chu earlier.

"Don't worry, like I said, Xiao Chu knows what she's doing. I'm going home to sleep, what about you? Do you want to go back or sleep at my place?"

Unconsciously, they arrived at Pei Shizhou's doorstep. Pei Shizhou stopped and asked Xia Zhiheng, "That guy Lin Xingyuan complained that his house was too far from Yu Mengxi's workplace, so he rented a room near her place instead."

Xia Zhiheng snorted, "I'm not going to your place, I'm going home." With that, he turned and left.

Pei Shizhou returned home, washed up quickly, and went to bed. Meanwhile, Xia Yichu tossed and turned in bed for a long time before finally drifting off to sleep.

In her dream, she dreamt again of the time when Lin Xingcheng had his accident in her previous life. Lin Xingcheng repeatedly questioned Xia Yichu about why she didn't save him, saying that he died unjustly.

Xia Yichu was tormented by Lin Xingcheng's questioning in her dream, her pajamas soaked with cold sweat. Suddenly, she woke up from the nightmare.

She sat up, her heart pounding, and glanced frantically at the bedside table. She turned on the light and looked at the watch on the bedside table. It was past five o'clock; she decided not to sleep anymore, grabbed her clothes, and went to take a shower.

After showering and changing her clothes, Xia Yichu went out to find Pei Shizhou. She wondered if he was awake yet, as it was already getting light outside.

Before she could knock, the door opened, revealing Pei Shizhou, who had heard the commotion outside. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw Xia Yichu.

"Xiao Chu, why did you get up so early today?"

Xia Yichu said somewhat shyly, "I can't sleep, Shizhou, can I go see Lingna? I really have something I want to ask her. It won't be long, it won't be..."

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

Before Xia Yichu could finish speaking, Pei Shizhou interrupted her. Xia Yichu had her reasons for wanting to do what she did, and Pei Shizhou knew she wasn't one to act recklessly. He also knew she had secrets, quite a few at that.

It's okay if Xia Yichu doesn't want to talk about it. Whatever she wants to do, Pei Shizhou will support her unconditionally. With the merits he's made in helping catch spies, if he talks to his superiors, they should agree.

"Really? That's great, Shi Zhou, thank you."

"Don't be so polite with me. Come in first, and don't worry, I'll make sure you see the person."

When they got home, he first poured Xia Yichu a glass of hot water and asked her to sit on the sofa. Xia Yichu held the hot water, and her mood gradually calmed down.

"Xiao Chu, what do you want to eat? I'll go buy it for you."

"I'm fine with anything."

"Okay, sit here for a while, I'll be right back."

After Pei Shizhou left, Xia Yichu sat on the sofa, her thoughts drifting back to Lingna. She desperately wanted to know some of the truth from Lingna.

Not long after, Pei Shizhou returned with breakfast. After they finished eating, Pei Shizhou made a phone call and talked for about five or six minutes.

He then took Xia Yichu to the National Security Bureau. He told Xia Yichu to wait in the lounge while he went out for a while. Then he came back to take Xia Yichu to see Lingna.

Xia Yichu was filled with gratitude and followed the staff to the place where Lingna was being held. When Xia Yichu appeared before her, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Shi Zhou, I'd like to talk to her alone for a while."

Pei Shizhou hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Then be careful. Call me if anything happens. I'll wait for you at the door."

"it is good"

Before leaving, Pei Shizhou checked the restraints on Ling Nai's body one last time to make sure she could not harm Xia Yichu before departing.

After the door closed, Xia Yichu took a deep breath and looked directly at Lingna.

Do you know my cousin, Lin Xingcheng?

Reina's lips curled into a mocking smile. "You know him? How could you not know him? If he hadn't been talking badly about Chen Shaoping to you, would you still be being completely fooled by Chen Shaoping?"

Xia Yichu ignored her sarcastic remarks and listened quietly.

Rena's eyes flickered for a moment, then she continued, "The Song family and Zhou Shuyue are both useless. They failed to harm Lin Xingcheng and ended up getting themselves into trouble as well."

I never expected Xia Guoan to know the district head of Pengcheng, which is why Lin Xingcheng escaped unscathed. If it weren't for Wu Mingli, the Song family could have killed Lin Xingcheng as easily as killing an ant.

Lingna knew Wu Mingli, but she didn't know his family background; she thought he was just an ordinary student of Xia Guoan.

"They are the people you hired, right? You want Zhou Shuyue to harm my cousin."

Reina's smile faded, and she said coldly, "Of course not. Originally, I wanted to simply have someone kill Lin Xingcheng. But then Zhou Shuyue appeared, so I didn't do it."
