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

"What do you think we should do now? This pit is over three meters deep, and there's no way to climb out."

Xia Yichu didn't know where Su Qingyan had found this person; she only knew to chase after her relentlessly without saying a word. She had twisted her ankle when she fell, and every movement caused excruciating pain. Her resentment was stronger than a ghost's.

"We'll have to wait. Let me take a look at your foot first."

Pei Shizhou was quite helpless. He didn't know her name and planned to explain it to her after catching up with her. Unexpectedly, she was incredibly fast, and it took him almost half an hour to catch up.

"No need, I'm fine."

Pei Shizhou squatted down and, without saying a word, grabbed her foot to examine it.

"What are you doing? It hurts..."

"The bones should be fine, but my foot is a little swollen."

It wasn't very bright in the pit, so she couldn't see the man's face clearly. There was grass in the pit, thankfully; if it had been rocks, they would both have been injured if they had fallen in.

"You understand medicine"

"Know a little"

His uncle is a doctor, so he knows some basic facts. If his father hadn't opposed his studying medicine back then, he would be a doctor now.

"What are you doing"

Xia Yichu watched him pick up fallen leaves and twigs from the ground and fidget with them for a long time, wondering what he was doing. She couldn't help but ask him out of curiosity.

"Let's light a fire. When people outside see the smoke, they'll know we're here."

"How could I not have thought of that? You're so clever. But, where's the fire?"

"Do you know how to make fire by friction? It's not easy to start a fire here, just wait a little longer, it'll be ready soon."

Xia Yichu's eyes lit up. She had matches in her spatial storage, and it wasn't convenient to take out other things. A small box of matches could be easily slipped into her pocket without anyone suspecting anything.

"Come and get it! I have some matches on me."

Pei Shizhou was puzzled as to why a girl would carry matches, but he was relieved. He didn't smoke and didn't have a lighter.

"Really, that's great!"

After trying for so long without even a spark, Pei Shizhou was a little discouraged.

"for you"

Xia Yichu pretended to take out a box of baked buns from her pocket and handed it to him. After Pei Shizhou took it, he immediately lit the dry branches and fallen leaves that he had picked up.

It's already past 2 PM, and if no one comes soon, they'll probably have to spend the night here.

Are you a soldier or a police officer?

Only after seeing the fire start did Xia Yichu feel like chatting with him.

Why would you say that?

Pei Shizhou looked at her. Aside from having just fallen and then learning that he had come to rescue people, and having cursed at him, he was now relatively calm.

"intuition"

After her rebirth, Xia Yichu would run and exercise in her space whenever she had free time. In addition, she drank water from the space every day, so her physical condition was excellent.

She was able to easily shake off Zhou Weimin just now, partly because of his injured shoulder. If she hadn't been afraid that Zhou Weimin would chase after Su Qingyan, she would have run away long ago.

The man in front of her had been chasing her for more than twenty minutes. When she fell into the pit, she reacted quickly and was not injured.

"He used to be a soldier, but he was discharged last year. My maternal grandfather and your paternal grandfather are good friends. A while ago, your eldest uncle went to the hospital for a check-up, and it was my uncle who took care of him."

His uncle mocked Xia Guoan in front of him, saying that although Xia Guoan had gained a daughter for free, she hadn't grown up by his side. He said that Xia Guoan and his daughter didn't have a good relationship, and that the daughter was filial, but she was being filial to her uncle.

"You, you, you... Ouch."

Xia Yichu stood up excitedly, but then felt a pain in her foot. Remembering her injury, she sat back down.

"What's wrong? Are you alright?"

Pei Shizhou walked over and squatted down to look at her feet.

"I'm fine. What's your name?"

Xia Yichu moved her foot away, not letting him see. Could this man be the CEO Pei who sold imperial green jadeite bracelets to Yang Mengru in her past life?!

Oh no! She just pointed her finger at him and started cursing. I wonder if she'll still be willing to buy his bracelet in the future. Her 60 million can't just disappear like this.

My name is Pei Shizhou.

It's confirmed, it's that CEO Pei. It's said that in his past life, Pei Shizhou had a terrible temper and particularly disliked women.

Rumor has it that his half-sister drugged him with aphrodisiacs, and it's unknown which woman's bed it was delivered to. Of course, this is just a rumor, and it's unknown whether it's true.

"Um, I'm sorry about earlier, I didn't know you were Dr. Zhou's nephew."

"Are you alright? It was definitely my fault that you fell."

Xia Yichu observed his expression by the firelight and discovered that he was completely different from how he appeared on television. On television, he was expressionless, looked cold, and always gave off an aura of unapproachability.

She looks quite gentle and approachable now. She's even more beautiful in person than she appears on TV, with delicate features and a great figure.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Pei Shizhou looked at her strangely. Xia Yichu kept staring at him, her gaze shifting from surprise to sympathy to confusion. Unlike the way other girls looked at him, there was definitely no affection in her eyes.

"No, no, how did you meet my sister-in-law?"

Because Pei Shizhou had told her that Su Qingyan was safe and had been taken to the hospital when she fell, Xia Yichu didn't ask any more questions.

At that time, she was thinking that if she couldn't get out, how many days would the food in her space last, and that she should buy more food to put in her space in the future.

Pei Shizhou recounted how Su Qingyan stopped the car, then asked, "How did you escape? And how was that man injured?"

"You mean Zhou Weimin? Did you see him just now? How is he?"

"He fainted due to excessive blood loss. I bandaged him up when he arrived, so he shouldn't die."

"Oh"

Xia Yichu wasn't afraid of his death; her actions constituted legitimate self-defense, and she wouldn't be held responsible. However, it was better if he didn't die, as she didn't want to have anyone's life on her hands.

"You're the one who injured his abdomen."

"Yes"

Xia Yichu couldn't deny this matter. Even if she didn't say anything, Zhou Weimin would tell her when he woke up.

"Where did the knife come from?"

"Mine, I hid it on my person, he only searched my bag."

"The things you, a girl, carry are quite unusual; they're either knives or matches."

Xia Yichu didn't explain that she had been imprisoned by Liu Yaohui's family for several years in her previous life. Fearing a recurrence, she had prepared shovels, hoes, and scissors in her spatial storage, things that couldn't be easily taken out.

She bought two knives, as they were the perfect size to hold.

"You said the fire has been burning for almost an hour, how could they possibly see it? I'm starving."

Fortunately, when she entered the space in the morning, she took a shower and ate two steamed egg cakes.

Because she had never tried putting cooked food into her space, she wondered if it would be like in novels, where what you put in looks exactly the same when you take it out. She thought she wouldn't need it and only prepared some snacks.

"for you"

Pei Shizhou took something out of his pocket and put it in her hand.

What?

Xia Yichu opened the box and saw a single chocolate. She opened it and ate it. Su Qingyan had bought her a whole box of chocolates in her past life. She had never bought any for herself before; they were too expensive, and she couldn't bear to spend the money.

Pei Shizhou doesn't eat these things, but Gu Yunting insisted on giving them to him this morning. He was actually hungry too, and if Xia Yichu hadn't said she was hungry, he would have forgotten that he had chocolate in his pocket.

Xia Yichu finished the chocolate and didn't say anything more. The two sat in silence, with Pei Shizhou occasionally picking up some dry branches and throwing them into the fire.

"Pei Shizhou, is someone calling us? Listen, listen quickly!" Xia Yichu stood up excitedly again.

"Yes"

Xia Zhiheng and his team searched for several hours, and even Director Wu borrowed thirty or forty people from other public security bureaus to help search, but they still couldn't find them.

They only started heading this way after seeing the smoke more than an hour ago.
