Chapter 58: Chu Shuangshuang

Upon hearing that He Muxue actually wanted to go home with him of her own accord, Zhou Chu looked at her in surprise.

That He Muxue, nurtured by family traditions, could actually say such a thing was truly surprising.

"You... are you really coming home with me? Isn't that inappropriate?" Zhou Chu said, stuttering slightly.

Although there was that verbal engagement between the He Family and him, the two of them had not yet reached a level of such intimacy and casualness.

Moreover, in the current situation, Zhou Chu was also worried about causing some unnecessary misunderstandings.

He Muxue's expression was cold as she spoke indifferently: "There is nothing inappropriate about it. I just want to see your home. Besides, we will be together sooner or later, so getting familiar with each other in advance is quite good."

"But if Principal He finds out, he will definitely be unhappy..."

"If you are a man, then hurry up!" He Muxue frowned, saying coldly.

Zhou Chu was instantly rendered speechless.

For a girl to take the initiative to suggest going home with him, while he was being timid and indecisive, truly lacked the demeanor of a man.

Since she wasn't afraid, what did he have to be afraid of?

Thus, Zhou Chu and He Muxue got into the car, and under Zhou Chu's guidance, the car arrived at the residential complex where Zhou Chu lived after a short while.

Although it could not compare to the luxury mansion of He Muxue's family, every time he returned to his own home, Zhou Chu felt the warmth of home.

As the saying goes, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as one's own dog kennel.

Although the guest room at He Muxue's home was quite nice, it was ultimately not as comfortable and cozy as his own home.

Perhaps He Muxue had never seen such a small nest or humble abode.

At this moment, she was like someone entering a museum, touring the three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment all by herself.

Finally, she came to the dining table and casually picked up a piece of paper placed on it to read.

But the next moment, He Muxue's brows tightened abruptly, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes instantly.

With a "slap," she slammed the paper heavily onto the dining table, turned around sharply, and left without looking back.

Zhou Chu felt somewhat baffled.

Was there something that made her feel uncomfortable?

Why was she suddenly so angry?

Zhou Chu picked up the piece of paper on the table, full of suspicion.

He saw a few lines of elegant handwriting written on it:

"You are my heart, you are my liver, you are three-quarters of my life."

"You are my spleen, you are my stomach, you are the wild rose of my life."

"You ask me how deep my love for you is, Moon Grade represents my heart!"

"Love you! Mwah! Mua!"

"To my dearest A-Chu!"

Damn!

Seeing the content of the letter, Zhou Chu's face turned green instantly.

What on earth was his aunt trying to do?

Why would she inexplicably write this cringeworthy passage?

If it weren't for the words "A-Chu" written at the end, it wouldn't look like it was written to her nephew at all; it was completely a love letter written to some lover.

In Zhou Chu's impression, apart from scolding him, Chu Shuangshuang had never said the word "love" to him.

Most of the time, she expressed her love for Zhou Chu entirely through her actions.

That meant cooking, doing laundry, and providing a fixed monthly living allowance.

At this time, there was also a bank card under the letter paper.

Usually, the living allowance was either transferred via mobile phone or left in cash; why had it been changed to a bank card this time?

What surprised Zhou Chu even more was that there was actually 10 million in this bank card.

Perhaps this 10 million didn't count for much to Zhou Chu now.

But in the past, this was definitely a huge sum of money.

It should be said that this money could be considered all of his aunt Chu Shuangshuang's savings.

She had written him a "love poem" and also left behind all her savings.

It was as if she would never come back from now on.

His aunt Chu Shuangshuang's behavior this time was very abnormal.

No, it was extremely abnormal!

At this moment, Zhou Chu couldn't help but frown, feeling a sense of unease in his heart.

Nothing bad could have happened, could it?

Thinking of this, Zhou Chu hurriedly took out his phone and dialed a call to his aunt Chu Shuangshuang.

Not long after, the call was connected, and Chu Shuangshuang's voice came through.

"Has the sun risen from the west? How come you, brat, are willing to take the initiative to call me?"

Hearing Chu Shuangshuang's voice, the heart that Zhou Chu had been holding up finally settled down a little.

"Is there a mistake with the living allowance this time? Why did you leave me so much money?" Zhou Chu asked immediately.

Chu Shuangshuang said: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I estimate that I won't be able to go back for a short time this time, there are some things here at the school."

"By the way, how did you do on the mock exam this time..."

Halfway through the question, Chu Shuangshuang suddenly changed her tone: "Cough, forget it, forget it, I won't ask. You definitely have no chance at the College Entrance Exam qualification."

"After I finish being busy for this period, I will find someone to help you ask about work..."

At this time, Zhou Chu interrupted her and said: "I have obtained the College Entrance Exam qualification. Not only that, I also received the bonus points from the mock exam."

"I said it before, I will definitely get into Shenxia!"

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and Chu Shuangshuang's laughter came through once again: "Hehehe, my Ah Chu, you really should be more careful. Do you think I would believe your nonsense?"

"I'm being serious this time!" Zhou Chu said, speechless.

"Your aunt isn't stupid. Just like when you told me you were some God-level Soul Profession, I'd be the fool if I actually believed you."

"But you have certainly learned how to coax people into being happy."

Just then, a loud, clear whistle sounded from the other end of the phone, followed immediately by a rough voice shouting: "Assemble!"

Chu Shuangshuang then hurriedly said: "Alright, I won't talk anymore, I have things to do on my end. You take good care of yourself! Hanging up!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chu immediately felt that something was wrong.

An intern teacher at Shenxia University?

Who are you trying to fool?

Zhou Chu finally understood that his aunt Chu Shuangshuang had been lying to him all along.

Because Zhou Chu was actually quite familiar with that whistling sound.

That was the sound of the Exorcism Army assembling.

He never imagined that his aunt had been keeping it from him that she was serving in the Exorcism Army,

and every time she returned with injuries, she would never say why, always brushing it off.

Then she would silently manage their life, expressing her love for Zhou Chu through her actions.

Recalling all the things from the past, his aunt was always scolding him while simultaneously being frustrated that he wouldn't live up to her expectations.

She would say she didn't believe he could get in, yet she would send his living expenses on time every month and worry about finding him a job.

So behind all of this, his aunt had been hiding such dangerous work from him.

Zhou Chu's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and his heart was filled with guilt and remorse.

Remorse that this predecessor of his hadn't noticed his aunt's true situation for so many years.

This detestable predecessor was truly an absolute fool and a blockhead.

Since he now knew his aunt's true situation, Zhou Chu planned to find someone to ask which unit she was in.

This time she had left almost all her money behind; she must be going to carry out a very dangerous mission.

She was afraid that if something happened to her, her nephew wouldn't be able to survive.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Chu called Jia Mengshan, the Captain of Scout Team 1.

As soon as the call went through, Jia Mengshan answered it in what could be called a second.

Immediately after, Jia Mengshan's happy laughter came through.

"Hahaha, good lad, I was just about to call you, and you actually called me first. We really have a telepathic connection!"
