Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 488 Zhang Yibin Heads to Osmanthus Lane

Lu Yuanqiu had just learned that this was something the two of them had agreed upon long ago.

After learning about Bai Qingxia's background, Liu Wangchun had always wanted to come and see her. Since the two of them were here today, Bai Qingxia asked her to come directly over.

While waiting, the two of them kept busy. Bai Qingxia opened the room that hadn't been occupied for five or six days, swept the floor, and washed the unused pots and pans. Lu Yuanqiu went to the small supermarket in the alley to buy vegetables and meat.

After buying the ingredients, Bai Qingxia started preparing the food and cooking like a virtuous housewife, while Lu Yuanqiu went out of the alley to pick up Liu Wangchun, who had taken a taxi.

"So this is the place I used to jog through in the morning, the place where Xiaxia always lived," Liu Wangchun said with emotion as they walked past Lu Yuanqiu.

Lu Yuanqiu turned his head: "How do you feel?"

Liu Wangchun lowered his head: "At the time, I was thinking, how could anyone live here? Wouldn't it be very inconvenient for them to live here..."

Lu Yuanqiu, with his hands in his pockets, said, "Living here is quite convenient, but the inconvenience is that a girl needs to take care of her sick father, maintain their normal food, clothing, and housing while also insisting on going to school every day."

Liu Wangchun lowered his head sadly.

In fact, Liu Wangchun's thinking was not wrong. After all, Lu Yuanqiu himself was thinking at the beginning, how could there still be students in the 21st century who would do such a thing in the supermarket for a few loaves of bread, which would have extremely serious consequences if they were discovered?

If it weren't for her father, Bai Qingxia probably would rather starve than do such a thing. However, she is older now and more flexible. If she were to travel back to that time now, she would probably shamelessly ask her neighbors for food instead of taking a chance and going to the supermarket.

No... she'll still go to the supermarket, because she already knows me, Lu Yuanqiu thought to himself with a sudden smile.

As the two entered the courtyard, Liu Wangchun kept looking around. When she went up the stairs, she looked up and soon saw a girl washing dishes by the sink in the corner of the balcony.

Bai Qingxia was still wearing the clothes Liu Wangchun had helped her pick out. Her back view looked friendly and familiar, but the surrounding environment made Liu Wangchun feel extremely unfamiliar, making her feel that Bai Qingxia shouldn't be living here.

"Xiaxia," Liu Wangchun called out.

Bai Qingxia, who was washing the dishes with her sleeves rolled up, turned around and smiled when she saw Liu Wangchun: "Chunchun."

Lu Yuanqiu stepped forward: "Let me do it. It's so cold outside, why are you touching cold water? You take Liu Wangchun inside and have a chat with her."

Bai Qingxia hesitated for a moment, then said okay.

Lu Yuanqiu stood by the sink, diligently washing a bowl that Bai Qingxia had only half-washed. However, after washing for a dozen seconds, his hands were frozen by the cold water. He glanced at the pile of pots and pans that Bai Qingxia had already washed and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He continued to persevere and finish washing the rest.

When Lu Yuanqiu returned to his room, he heard Liu Wangchun crying.

He walked behind the curtain and saw Liu Wangchun sitting by Bai Qingxia's bed, crying incessantly with his head down, while Bai Qingxia was busy gently patting his back to comfort him.

Seeing Lu Yuanqiu approaching, Bai Qingxia turned around and gave him a pleading look.

Lu Yuanqiu mouthed: Let her cry it out.

"What's in this wooden box?" Lu Yuanqiu asked curiously when he saw a wooden box next to Bai Qingxia's bottom.

Bai Qingxia quickly turned around, picked up the wooden box, and placed it in front of her. After a moment of nervousness, she stepped forward, opened the wardrobe, and placed the wooden box at the bottom of the wardrobe.

"Oh, it's a little secret. I won't look then," Lu Yuanqiu said with a smile.

Bai Qingxia had her back to him, her eyes gleaming as she puffed out one cheek.

She stood up and said, "I'm going to cook."

Lu Yuanqiu turned around: "You want me and Liu Wangchun to be alone in a room, a man and a woman?" Bai Qingxia paused in her steps toward the door, quickly turned back, took Liu Wangchun's hand and helped her up, saying softly: "Chunchun, don't cry, come out and watch me cook."

"it is good……"

Liu Wangchun got up and muttered "crazy" as he passed by Lu Yuanqiu.

After the two girls left the room, Lu Yuanqiu looked at the wardrobe and thought that Bai Qingxia was quite trusting, but he certainly wouldn't peek.

Lu Yuanqiu cried out "Ouch!" and lay down on the bed, falling asleep with the blanket that Bai Qingxia had once used over her head.

He didn't wake up until he dreamed that a snow-white swan crawled into his blanket and pecked at his arm with its red beak.

The lunch reminded Lu Yuanqiu of the first time he ate here. Back then, Bai Qingxia was shy, reserved, and polite, unlike now, when she would occasionally raise her hand to hit him and glare at him.

“Since Uncle Bai is staying at Aunt Zhang’s place, you can continue to stay at my house until the start of the semester,” Lu Yuanqiu said to Bai Qingxia while eating.

Bai Qingxia thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."

These past few days, she has been cooking every meal at Lu Yuanqiu's house and cleaning the room and doing housework every day. Her aunt and uncle are very happy, and she feels that she has not stayed for nothing, so she readily agreed.

Liu Wangchun frowned: "Xiaxia, come stay at my house."

Lu Yuanqiu put down his bowl and bared his teeth at Liu Wangchun, making an angry expression.

Liu Wangchun: "...Okay, okay, I'll stay at your place, I won't fight you for it."

She stroked Lu Yuanqiu's hair as if she were petting a puppy guarding its food.

Lu Yuanqiu slapped her hand away and said to Bai Qingxia, "Actually, I think Aunt Zhang likes Uncle Bai."

"Huh?!" Bai Qingxia looked surprised.

Seeing her surprise, Lu Yuanqiu was stunned. He thought this girl had figured it out, but it turns out she hadn't figured anything out at all. What have you been looking at these past two days? Me?
……

A week later, night fell.

A black car was parked at the entrance of Osmanthus Lane.

The car door opened, and a man wearing a white suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and a spade tattoo on his wrist got out. Surrounded by a group of bodyguards, he quickly walked into Osmanthus Lane, looking very anxious.

The stench emanating from the alleyway and the small workshop made Zhang Yibin uncomfortable. He covered his mouth and nose with a cloth and walked into Bai Qingxia's courtyard with his group of bodyguards.

"Can we trust that woman? It's fine if they don't know what's inside, but if they do, things will be very serious," Zhang Yibin asked the bodyguard, frowning.

The bodyguard beside him replied respectfully, "Don't worry, boss. That Nini wouldn't dare to lie. She admitted herself that the USB drive was given to a woman named Zhang Li at the KTV. Zhang Li's home is right here."

Zhang Yibin looked up and followed the bodyguard upstairs.

"Kick it." He said softly from the balcony.

Several men in black suits kicked open Xiaoli's door. Zhang Yibin glanced inside; no one was there. The bodyguards searched for a full half hour, turning the entire room upside down, but they still couldn't find the USB drive they were talking about.
