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

The food was at the perfect temperature. Xia Yichu opened the lunchbox, and a delicious aroma wafted out.

"Come on, eat! Don't be shy."

Xia Yichu went to the hotel to get two pairs of disposable chopsticks, and handed one pair to Yao Jingshen.

Yao Jingshen hadn't eaten breakfast yet; his mother had taken a car to the airport around 6 a.m.

He wandered around the area, preparing to return to the hotel for breakfast, when he happened to run into Xia Yichu at the entrance. He only realized he was hungry when he smelled the delicious aroma.

"Thanks"

Xia Yichu took a char siu bao to eat herself, and two bottles of fresh milk, one for her and one for Yao Jingshen.

Pei Shizhou has a big appetite; he ate six char siu buns alone, each with a thin skin and lots of meat.

The box was also full of pan-fried buns. Xia Yichu didn't eat the fried dough sticks, but she ate two char siu buns and two pan-fried buns.

"You don't want it anymore."

Seeing Xia Yichu put down her chopsticks, Yao Jingshen asked her if the food was indeed as delicious as Xia Yichu had said.

"Yes, I'm full. You can eat the rest!"

The two of them were having breakfast inside, while He Jiaying leaned over the door to listen to the sounds coming from inside.

Last night, when He Jiaying saw them leave, she quickly took leave and followed Yao Siying and her son to the hotel entrance.

I didn't go to work today either. I came to the hotel early this morning to wait, and sure enough, I saw Xia Yichu come to see that man again. She was chatting and laughing with the man as they went into the hotel room. The middle-aged woman wasn't there.

When He Jiaying went home yesterday, she borrowed a camera from Zhou Miaoying and took three photos when the two of them weren't looking.

The hotel doors were so soundproof that He Jiaying heard nothing. Thinking of the photos in her hand, she didn't linger and left with her camera.

Meanwhile, Xia Yichu, who was inside the room, knew nothing and was still inquiring about Yao Jingshen's family situation. Yao Jingshen had already finished eating everything that Xia Yichu had brought.

"Where are you from? How come you're working in the US?"

Watching Yao Jingshen finish his breakfast and tidy up the lunchboxes, Xia Yichu couldn't wait to find out about him.

Xia Yichu had just heard Yao Jingshen say that he was going back to the United States in a couple of days. That's a foreign country, so she wanted to find out as soon as possible.

"Miss Xia, let's not beat around the bush. What exactly is your purpose in deliberately getting close to me?"

Yao Jingshen didn't have time to play guessing games with Xia Yichu. Since his mother wasn't around, he wanted to get things done quickly.

"Hehe! You found out, so I won't hide it from you anymore."

Xia Yichu gave a dry laugh; she knew Yao Jingshen had some suspicions about her.

"Time is precious, Miss Xia. Don't beat around the bush, just get to the point!"

"You look a lot like my uncle. He has a woman he likes named Yao Siying. Is your mother's name Yao Siying? And is she married?"

My uncle has been searching for her all these years. If your mother happens to fit both of these criteria, I suspect you are my uncle's biological son, which is why...

Yao Jingshen was very emotional upon hearing this, as it was completely different from what his maternal grandparents and uncles had said.

"Impossible. If he really loved my mother, how could she have left so heartbrokenly for so many years and refused to return to Kyoto?"

Everyone says his biological father doesn't like his mother, and even his mother thinks so. Is Xia Yichu saying this to trick him into going back?

"Please don't get agitated. There's a misunderstanding here; the situation is rather complicated. Neither of us were directly involved. Would you be willing to come back with me to see my uncle and ask him directly, please?"

It turns out Xia Yichu is his cousin. Yao Jingshen had been preparing for the worst, thinking that Xia Yichu was his half-sister. He never expected to gain a cousin for nothing.

"Sure, you can ask him to come to the hotel."

Without understanding anything, Yao Jingshen definitely wouldn't want to go back with her. He was already an adult and wasn't afraid of his biological father and mother fighting over him.

"Then I'll call first and ask if my uncle is home."

Yao Jingshen nodded in agreement. Xia Yichu picked up the phone in his room and called home. The phone was answered as soon as it rang.

"Hey, Xiao Chu, is that you?"

In the morning, Lin Xingyuan said he would take Lin Weinan and the others to the airport, so Pei Shizhou went home to wait for Xia Yichu's call.

Lin Xingcheng sensed that Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu were hiding something from them, especially after his uncle's family went to the airport. He followed Pei Shizhou home and asked Xia Yichu what she was doing there.

Pei Shizhou didn't hide anything from him and told him everything. Lin Xingcheng was a little angry. Even if the other party was Zhou Wenbin's son, how could he let Xiao Chu meet him alone without knowing his character?

Pei Shizhou was so eager to find Yao Siying for his uncle that he neglected these issues, and later he became very worried and regretful.

Just as the two were about to go to the hotel to find Xia Yichu, the phone rang at home.

"Shizhou, it's me. Is your uncle home? Jing Shen wants to see him. Can you ask him to come to the hotel?"

Before Pei Shizhou could speak, Lin Xingcheng snatched the phone from Pei Shizhou's hand.

"Xiao Chu, how are you? Are you alright?"

"Xiao Cheng, is that you? I'm fine. Where's Shi Zhou? Let him answer the phone."

Xia Yichu said anxiously, "I think I heard Pei Shizhou's voice just now, how come it turned into Xiao Cheng?"

Before she could think any further, she heard Lin Xingcheng say on the other end of the phone, "I'll deal with you when I get back."

Why?

Xia Yichu asked naively. She was Lin Xingcheng's older sister, and she was the only one who had ever bullied Lin Xingcheng since they were little.

Lin Xingcheng would only protect her and indulge her. When he said this, Xia Yichu didn't react for a moment.

Before Xia Yichu could figure it out, Pei Shizhou's voice came from the other end of the phone again.

"Xiao Chu, Uncle didn't come home last night. Tell him to wait a moment. I'll go find him right away. You must help me keep Yao Jingshen here."

His maternal grandmother said that his uncle has been very busy these past two days and hasn't been home to sleep at night, so it might take some time to find him.

"Okay, no problem."

Xia Yichu gave the hotel room number before hanging up the phone. Even if she knocked Yao Jingshen unconscious, she would still keep him here.

Xia Yichu's eyes were fixed on Yao Jingshen, completely unaware that Lin Xingcheng was on his way.

"You go find your uncle, I'm going to find Xiao Chu. Give me the car."

Lin Xingcheng said to Pei Shizhou that Xiao Chu is still the same as before, never thinking about her own safety before doing anything.

"it is good"

Pei Shizhou handed the car keys to Lin Xingcheng and then made several phone calls from home.

Twenty minutes later, the hotel room doorbell rang. Xia Yichu stood up and said, "It must be my uncle. I'll go open the door."

Xia Yichu opened the door and found only Lin Xingcheng, who was covered in sweat.

"Xiao Cheng, where are Shi Zhou and his uncle?" Xia Yichu asked in confusion.

"I came to find you first; they should be here a while later."

"Oh, then come in first."

Yao Jingshen stared at Lin Xingcheng as he walked in. Judging from his young age, he knew that Lin Xingcheng was not his biological father.

"Here, have some water."

Xia Yichu gave him a bottle of mineral water and some tissues to wipe Lin Xingcheng's sweat.

"Brother Jingshen, this is my cousin Xingcheng."

Cousin? Could he be his half-brother? Yao Jingshen glanced at him, his attitude indifferent, and said nothing.

Xia Yichu was completely baffled. Wasn't everything fine just now?

Lin Xingcheng was so focused on looking at Xia Yichu that he didn't notice Yao Jingshen's attitude towards him, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.
