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

The next morning, Pei Shizhou went to find Xu Shaoyang, wanting to tell him that he was going back to prepare for the wedding and asked him to keep an eye on Xia Yichu.

He thought Xu Shaoyang was still sleeping and was about to climb in through the window. When he got to Xu Shaoyang's house, Pei Shizhou symbolically pressed the doorbell.

Unexpectedly, the door opened quickly, and Xu Shaoyang, reeking of alcohol, opened it.

What are you doing here?

Xu Shaoyang's tone was unpleasant. The thought of the girl he liked marrying Pei Shizhou made it impossible for him to be happy to see him.

"How much have you drunk?"

Pei Shizhou covered his nose, pushed him aside, and went inside. He saw that the room was a mess, with several wine bottles thrown on the table. Pei Shizhou frowned, wondering if he shouldn't have come.

"That's none of your business. Why are you looking for me?"

Xu Shaoyang walked over and lay down on the sofa, rubbing his forehead. He hadn't slept since returning from the nightclub last night. He'd been either smoking or drinking, and he felt terrible.

"I need to go back to Kyoto to prepare for the wedding, and Xiao Chu doesn't want to come back with me. Xiao Chu is unfamiliar with the city and I'm worried about her. I'd like to ask you to keep an eye on her for me."

"I understand, Pei Shizhou. Don't forget what you promised me."

Pei Shizhou promised Xu Shaoyang that his and Xia Yichu's future child would recognize Xu Shaoyang as its godfather. That's why Xu Shaoyang was so proactive in arranging the dance hall so that Pei Shizhou could propose to Xia Yichu.

"I understand, I definitely won't go back on my word."

Pei Shizhou did agree, but if Xia Yichu was unwilling, then it was none of his business.

When are you going back?

"This afternoon, remember to have Sister Wang go over and make breakfast for Xiao Chu tomorrow."

Pei Shizhou, fearing Xu Shaoyang might forget, specifically reminded him again. Song Qihang later brought several more nannies to the house, but Xia Yichu didn't like any of them. She said that since Sister Wang had time to work at the house, she could have her come instead.

Even after she marries Pei Shizhou, she won't be in Hong Kong every day; she'll only come occasionally. It's better to find a reliable person, so for now, let Sister Wang do the housework at home.

"Okay, I understand. You can go now if there's nothing else! Just seeing you annoys me."

Pei Shizhou was in a good mood and didn't argue with Xu Shaoyang. He went back to buy groceries to cook lunch for Xia Yichu.

After having dinner with Xia Yichu, he drove himself to Pengcheng. Once there, he bought a lot of things and went to the Lin family to propose marriage.

Knowing Pei Shizhou's purpose, Lin's parents didn't make things difficult for him and warmly welcomed him. They then took Pei Shizhou to Xia Yichu's mother's grave to pay their respects and tell her the good news.

The next morning, Lin's parents took Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu's birth dates to choose an auspicious date. There were three good dates, but because Pei Shizhou was in a hurry to get married, he wanted to choose the closest one.

"Shizhou, isn't this too rushed? Can we prepare everything in half a month?"

Mr. Lin frowned, clearly displeased. His sister only had one daughter, and he was determined to make sure she got married in style.

"Uncle, Aunt, don't worry, I promise I won't let Xiao Chu suffer. The wedding room is ready, and everything else is almost done. I've been preparing for this day for years, and I definitely won't let Xiao Chu be wronged."

"But…"

In the end, Lin's father just couldn't bear to part with her, and Lin's mother knew what he was thinking. It wasn't easy for Xiao Chu and Pei Shizhou to be together for so many years, and they also had to be considerate of Pei Shizhou, who was already twenty-eight years old this year.

The Zhou family and Pei Shizhou waited for Xiao Chu to graduate from university, and they didn't pressure her after graduation. Pei Shizhou's visit this time must mean that Xiao Chu agreed. Besides, Xiao Chu isn't too young to get married now, and Lin's mother thinks it's just right.

"Alright, let's set it for two weeks from now."

Lin's mother gave the order, and Pei Shizhou happily said, "Thank you, Aunt and Uncle."

"Shizhou, let's hurry and take a car to Kyoto. By the way, is Xiao Chu still in Gangcheng?"

Thinking that Xia Guoan was at work, and that Grandpa Xia's health hadn't been very good since Grandma Xia passed away, and that Pei Shizhou's mother had also passed away many years ago, he figured he might as well not have that father of his.

The two wanted to go to Kyoto with Pei Shizhou, but Lin Xingyao and the others had to go to work and would go before the wedding. Lin's mother was worried about her grandson, so she brought the child along as well.

"Yes, Xiao Chu still has business to keep an eye on. Xiao Chu and I have discussed it, and I will arrange the wedding."

"Okay, since you've reached an agreement, that's fine."

Lin's parents packed their things, took their child, and followed Pei Shizhou by car to Pengcheng to catch a plane. They arrived in Kyoto around 6 p.m., and Zhou Wenbin was waiting for them outside the airport in his car as soon as they got off the plane.

"Dr. Zhou, thank you for your hard work." Lin's father greeted Zhou Wenbin with a smile.

"Brother Lin, just call me Wenbin. We're family, no need to be so formal. Sister-in-law, thank you for coming all this way."

An'an is asleep, let me hold her! The car is on the other side, we have to walk over.

Pei Shizhou and Lin's father carried the luggage, while Lin's mother held the sleeping An'an. Zhou Wenbin took An'an from Lin's mother's arms, and looking at his chubby face, Zhou Wenbin's heart almost melted.

Along the way, everyone chatted and laughed, creating a harmonious atmosphere. Pei Shizhou drove them to the Zhou family's house, where the two elderly Zhou family members were already waiting for them at the door. As soon as Pei Shizhou parked the car, Grandma Zhou warmly went over to them.

"We've been waiting for you! Come inside quickly."

Last summer vacation, Xia Yichu brought Lin's parents to Kyoto for a visit, and they visited the Zhou family.

Grandma Zhou held Lin's mother's hand, her face beaming. Then, she looked longingly at An'an, who was being held in Zhou Wenbin's arms.

"Mom, An'an is still sleeping. You can see her as much as you want once we get inside."

Grandma Zhou rolled her eyes at Zhou Wenbin and pulled Lin's mother inside. The useless man, he'd made her never have a grandson to hold in her entire life. If Grandma Zhou weren't too old to carry the child, she would have loved to hold An'an herself.

Grandpa Zhou gave Zhou Wenbin a disdainful look, then chuckled and beckoned Lin's father inside.

Everyone went inside, where the Zhou family had already prepared a sumptuous dinner. At the table, the two families chatted animatedly, discussing the details of the wedding. An'an was still asleep in the guest room.

Grandpa Zhou also brought out his treasured wine, which he had kept for many years, and wanted to have a good drink with Lin's father.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they sat together drinking tea. Pei Shizhou said, "Uncle, Aunt, I want to become Xiao Chu's live-in son-in-law."

Everyone was stunned by these words. Lin's parents were especially surprised, even though Xia Guoan had mentioned this matter on the phone before.

Lin's father assumed that Pei Shizhou had said it in a moment of impulse, and hadn't mentioned it for the past two years. Gradually, he let go of that idea.

Lin's father put down his teacup and said, "Shizhou, this son-in-law who marries into your family is no ordinary person. Have you thought it through?"

Pei Shizhou nodded seriously: "Uncle, Aunt, I've thought it through long ago. This is something I've considered carefully."

Lin's father looked at the two elderly people from the Zhou family, saying that Pei Feng's opinion was not important.

Grandpa Zhou stroked his beard, smiled, and said, "I have no objection."

Grandma Zhou nodded in agreement: "I have no objection either, as long as A-Zhou is willing."

Ah Zhou had mentioned to them two years ago that he didn't want his child to have the surname Pei. They hadn't pressured their son to get married, so what was the point of Ah Zhou becoming a live-in son-in-law?

"Shizhou, we appreciate your kind intentions, but we still need to discuss this matter with Xiao Chu and the Xia family. It's a serious matter, so please reconsider and don't rush into a decision."

Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and the reputation of a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family is not good. To put it bluntly, only incompetent men would choose to become a son-in-law who lives with their wives' families.

Lin's mother didn't want Pei Shizhou to make a hasty decision; frankly, she didn't agree with it.

If people gossip about it in the future and Pei Shizhou loses face, and he and Xia Yichu argue because of it, turning them into a resentful couple, that would be terrible.
