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

After dinner, Xu Shaoyang took Xia Yichu to buy clothes before going home. It was almost nine o'clock when they got home.

Xia Yichu went upstairs to take a shower when she got home. About half an hour later, Xu Shaoyang called her from the stairwell. He had just finished showering, and his hair was still dripping wet.

"Yichu, come down, let's talk."

Xu Shaoyang wanted to ask her why Xia Yichu hadn't answered his question in the car that morning.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'm blow-drying my hair!"

Xia Yichu was a little tired today and had just taken a bath in her space. She had just picked up the hairdryer to dry her hair when she heard Xu Shaoyang calling her from the stairwell. She thought Xu Shaoyang had gone to the nightclub.

"Okay, no rush, take your time drying your hair."

Xu Shaoyang said he wasn't in a hurry, but he paced back and forth in the stairwell. A few minutes later, Xia Yichu came down, dressed neatly.

"Xu Shaoyang, what are you doing here? What do you want? Let's go downstairs and talk."

The second floor is where Xu Shaoyang sleeps, and the third floor is where she sleeps. Neither of these floors is suitable for the two of them, a man and a woman, to chat together.

"Okay, okay."

Although Xia Yichu was dressed conservatively, her delicate fragrance still wafted into Xu Shaoyang's nose as she passed by, causing his heart to flutter inexplicably.

The two went down to the living room, and Xu Shaoyang took a deep breath and mustered his courage.

"Yichu, you said in the car this morning that we weren't a good match. I want to know what's wrong with us?"

Xia Yichu was amused by his words and asked him to come downstairs late at night to talk about the topic.

"You didn't go to the nightclub tonight because of this?"

Is now the time for romance? We should be focusing on making money.

"Yes, you promised me you'd tell me tonight, you can't go back on your word."

Xia Yichu looked up and saw Xu Shaoyang's sincere eyes, feeling puzzled. She had always thought that Xu Shaoyang's feelings for her were the same as the feelings he had for someone else in her past life.

It was just a passing fancy. After a while, other girls would appear, and once the novelty wore off, he would naturally lose interest.

After all, Xu Shaoyang was that kind of person in his past life, falling in love with every girl he met.

"Xu Shaoyang, you like any pretty woman, and you even philander. I..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shaoyang hurriedly interrupted Xia Yichu.

"That's not true. I've changed since I fell in love with you. And all those so-called boyfriends I had before were fake, just rumors."

I just enjoyed chatting with them and hanging out with them; we were never really in a relationship. I haven't had a girlfriend in the years I've lived in Hong Kong; I've always kept my distance from those girls.

He wasn't lying; he's very innocent, and he still has his first kiss!

"I trust you"

Xia Yichu genuinely believed Xu Shaoyang's words. In his past life, he was such a scumbag, only willing to play around with those women and never intended to marry any of them.

Xu Shaoyang doesn't know any models with great figures or beautiful celebrities yet, and he hasn't encountered any of those things that make him want to be in a relationship. It's normal for him to fall in love with every beautiful woman he meets later.

"Really? Then can you break up with Pei Shizhou and be with me?" Xu Shaoyang said innocently.

"cannot"

Xia Yichu firmly refused, stating that even if she didn't get together with Pei Shizhou, she would absolutely not date Xu Shaoyang.

Without Pei Shizhou, she would rather hang out with Xu Shaoyang and experience the joy he had in his past life, having women on both sides.

Why?

Xu Shaoyang asked unwillingly, "What's wrong with him? What makes Pei Shizhou better than him that Xia Yichu is so devoted to him?"

I like Shi Zhou, but I don't like you.

In order for their business to continue for a long time, Xia Yichu could not give Xu Shaoyang any chance to fantasize and had to cut off Xu Shaoyang's feelings for her.

Why don't you like me?

"Xu Shaoyang, you're not the only one who likes beautiful women. I like handsome men too. Shi Zhou has a better physique than you and is more handsome. It's normal that I like him and not you, isn't it?"

Xia Yichu looked at him as if he were an idiot. She admitted that Xu Shaoyang was good in many ways, but he was far inferior to Pei Shizhou.

"But I'm younger than him. You'll regret it when he gets old and ugly."

"He's old, and you're old too. Besides, Pei Shizhou's business is bigger than yours, and he earns more money than you."

Xia Yichu continued to relentlessly criticize Xu Shaoyang, hoping he would work hard to make money quickly.

Xu Shaoyang was speechless for a while before he finally spoke again: "What about in the future? I'm sure I'll make a lot of money in the future, and I'll be more successful than him."

Xia Yichu chuckled lightly, "Who can predict the future? At least for now, you can't compete with him in business."

Xu Shaoyang bit his lip, then suddenly stepped forward, wanting to hold Xia Yichu's hand.

Xia Yichu's hands reacted faster than her brain, and she instinctively threw a punch that landed squarely on Xu Shaoyang's face.

Xu Shaoyang staggered from the blow, almost falling. He covered his face, looking at Xia Yichu in disbelief.

Xia Yichu was also startled by her own actions, not expecting that she would react so strongly when Xu Shaoyang touched her.

"Sorry, this was just a reflex. Are you alright?"

Xia Yichu felt a little guilty seeing Xu Shaoyang's face turn red and swollen. Aside from Pei Shizhou, she wasn't used to other men touching her.

"Yichu, do you hate me that much?"

Xu Shaoyang was discouraged. Was he really that bad? He was just anxious and wanted to prove himself to Xia Yichu. He didn't mean to take advantage of her.

"No, you misunderstood. Never mind, I'll go get some ointment for you to apply."

"No need, I still have the ointment you gave me last time. I'll go back to my room now."

Xu Shaoyang turned and walked upstairs. Xia Yichu looked at his back and felt a little guilty.

Back in his room, Xu Shaoyang looked at his bruised face in the mirror, feeling a mix of emotions.

Xu Shaoyang tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, and got up early to work. When Sister Wang opened the door, she was startled to see Xu Shaoyang mopping the floor.

"Mr. Xu, why are you up so early? Let me do it, you hurry up and put down the mop."

Sister Wang didn't know what was wrong with Xu Shaoyang. Why was he taking over her work so early in the morning instead of sleeping? She had just mopped the floor yesterday before going home.

"Sister Wang, it's okay, don't worry about me. Go and cook breakfast, I'm hungry."

Xu Shaoyang got up at the crack of dawn and cleaned the entire second floor. He also mopped the stairs. If he could cook, the rice would probably be ready by now. He just couldn't believe that Pei Shizhou could do these things better than him.

"Okay, you can take a break now!"

Seeing that Xu Shaoyang was covered in sweat and looked quite disheveled, Sister Wang was a little worried. She planned to wait until Xia Yichu woke up and ask her what was wrong with Xu Shaoyang.

After Sister Wang left, Xu Shaoyang continued mopping the floor and also wiped down the TV, table, and chairs.

While working in the kitchen, Sister Wang would peek out to watch Xu Shaoyang. She quickly cooked breakfast and brought it to the table in the living room.

"Mr. Xu, breakfast is ready."

Sister Wang called out. Xu Shaoyang put down his work, washed his hands, and sat down at the dining table.

He looked at the breakfast on the table: bread, milk, and fried eggs. Xu Shaoyang wolfed it down. He was starving; he had been working for two hours.
