"Uncle, here you go."

Once Wang Junhai left Yu Shanshan's house, he reverted to his usual self, completely different from before. A child of about ten years old handed him a photograph.

"Little friend, what is this?"

"Photos of fairies fighting"

Wang Junhai picked it up out of curiosity and was furious. It was a close-up photo of him and Yu Shanshan. He immediately chased after the child and grabbed him.

Let me go.

"Where did you get this photo? How many more do you have?"

"Let me go, I don't know anything."

People on the street were already pointing and whispering about Wang Junhai, so he grabbed the child and moved aside.

"Let me go! If you don't, I'll call for help!"

"Shut up, I'll give you the money."

"Let me go first, give me the money, and I won't scream."

Wang Junhai let go of him and gave him all the twenty-odd yuan he had on him. The child took the money and counted it.

"explain"

"I still have a photograph on me."

"Give me"

"it is good"

The child readily handed him the photo, but Wang Junhai's face turned green when he saw that this photo was different from the previous one. Who had secretly taken this picture of him, and why was this happening?

Where did this photo come from?

"Someone gave it to me, saying that if I shared the photos, I would get White Rabbit milk candy."

After saying that, the child took five candies out of his pocket and put the money back in his pocket.

"Anyone else posting photos? Go and call them over for me, I'll pay you."

"Many people are posting it, in different places. I'm going to check if they've finished posting it yet."

After the child left, Wang Junhai was furious when he heard this. Who was so despicable as to harm him like this?

The instigator, Xia Yichu, was already on her way home. She bought a bag of candy, had her child distribute the photos everywhere, and then went home. Originally, she didn't even remember Wang Junhai, but Wang Meilian insisted on introducing her to him.

In her previous life, after Xia Zhiheng got into trouble, Su Qingyan was almost raped by Wang Junhai. Fortunately, Xia Zhiqian caught them in the act and wanted to send him to the police station, but Su Qingyan refused.

At that time, Yang Xingwang's crimes had just been exposed in court, Xia Zhiheng was crippled, and Su Qingyan's near rape was also discovered. She was afraid that Xia Zhiheng would not be able to withstand the blow.

So Xia Zhiqian beat the man up as a warning, and made him let him go.

When Wang Junhai got home, he was furious and asked Yu Shanshan to help spread rumors. They said Su Qingyan's husband was disabled and that she couldn't stand being alone and was seducing men everywhere. In the end, Su Qingyan couldn't bear the gossip and resigned to take care of Xia Zhiheng.

"Yichu, you're back."

Gu Yunting had just come out when he saw Xia Yichu opening her own door.

"Yes, where are you going?"

"Shizhou and I are going out to eat. Do you want to come with us?"

At this moment, Pei Shizhou also came out of his house.

"No, you guys go!"

Xia Yichu opened the door and went home. She wanted to go back to sleep, as she still had to go to the haunted house to dig for things that night. She was supposed to return to Pengcheng tomorrow.

"Shi Zhou, Xia Zhiheng's younger sister is a bit strange, she's very mysterious."

Just when I thought she was interested in you, she started ignoring you. But then again, she was also quite nice to you.

"Don't talk nonsense, she's only eighteen, still a child. Don't you dare make a move on her, or Xia Zhiheng will beat you up. Come on, let's go eat."

"I really like her personality, and she's good-looking too. Do you think I could succeed in pursuing her?"

"You can't take a beating."

Gu Yunting always ranked last in assessments, and he had only been in the army for two years. He definitely couldn't compare to Xia Zhiheng, who joined the army at eighteen and was already a battalion commander when he retired.

"You're here, aren't you? Xia Zhiheng hit me, you have to help me."

"I can't help."

Gu Yunting just felt that Xia Yichu was different from other girls. Other girls would stare at Pei Shizhou whenever they saw him.

He was afraid that if he continued to be friends with Pei Shizhou, he wouldn't be able to find a wife in the future. That's why he started thinking about it; it wasn't that he particularly liked Xia Yichu.

"Never mind then, when are we going back to Shanghai?"

"In a couple of days"

The two of them ran a building materials business in Shanghai and made a lot of money. They planned to open a few stores in Kyoto as well. They came here to investigate the market and look at shops, and they had almost finished their business. They originally planned to return to Shanghai today. But these things happened, and they were delayed for two days.

At 11 p.m., Xia Yichu cautiously opened the door and went out, intending to sneak into the haunted house in the dark. She remembered Yang Mengru saying that the things were buried under the tree next to the house, because Yang Yunxian was also afraid and dared not get too close.

It wasn't far from the haunted house, but the road was difficult to navigate at night, and it took half an hour to get there.

Xia Yichu took out a small shovel from her spatial storage and started digging around the tree. An hour later, she finally dug it out. There were two trees there, but she didn't know which one was under.

She didn't find anything on the first tree, but she found her things on the second one, which she stored in her spatial storage. She cleaned up all the traces again before going home; even though she had died once, she was still a little scared.

"Where are you going so late?"

When they reached the alley, a voice suddenly rang out, startling Xia Yichu so much that she dared not move forward.

"Who, who's speaking?"

"It's me, Pei Shizhou."

Pei Shizhou couldn't sleep because he had something on his mind. He was thinking about something in the yard when he heard Xia Yichu open the door.

He was quite curious about where Xia Yichu was going so late at night. He was also a little worried, so he opened the door and went outside to look, but he didn't see her.

After waiting for an hour and she still hadn't returned, Pei Shizhou climbed over the wall into her house, called out a few times, and, confirming she wasn't home, came to the alley entrance to wait for her.

"You scared me to death! What are you doing here so late at night instead of sleeping?"

"I heard you open the door and leave. I waited for a long time and got a little worried when you didn't come back, so I came here to wait for you. It's so late, what are you doing out?"

"I can't sleep, so I'm going out for a walk."

"If you can't sleep, just wander around at home. It's not safe for a girl like you to go out alone at night."

Pei Shizhou knew she wasn't telling the truth, and that she wouldn't tell him even if he pressed her further, so he didn't intend to ask anymore.

"it is good"

Xia Yichu's heart raced. Luckily, Pei Shizhou hadn't followed her. He was afraid that if he found out she was digging around, he would discover the secret of the space.

"Let's go! Let's go back to sleep."

"it is good"

Xia Yichu walked ahead, with Pei Shizhou following behind. Although it was still dark, Pei Shizhou noticed that she was very dirty.

"Um, I'm going in."

"Okay, stop running around."

"Um"

Xia Yichu quickly closed the door, and after calming down for a while, she returned to her room.

It seems Gu Yunting was right; Xia Yichu was acting mysteriously. Pei Shizhou couldn't sleep, thinking about the tea; he was different from others.

His maternal grandfather liked to drink tea, so he knew quite a bit about it. Although the brewing process, water, and teaware do affect the taste, the difference shouldn't be that significant.

What's more, today Xia Yichu brewed the tea directly in the kettle and then poured it into ceramic teacups for them to drink. His hands usually ache slightly, but today they didn't hurt at all.

He was discharged from the military because of a left-hand injury that would prevent him from using his hand for the rest of his life. He just tried to lift something heavy, but it clearly doesn't hurt.

He couldn't figure it out. He saw many doctors, but the pain persisted. His intuition told him there was something wrong with the tea, but he still couldn't understand why.

Worried that Pei Shizhou would suspect her, Xia Yichu went to her spatial dimension to shower and change clothes after returning home. She had no interest in looking at what she had dug out and tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
