Summer turned to winter, and on a chilly day, the long-awaited college entrance examination arrived. Chu Xi, who had already been enrolled in a certain school, came to the exam as quietly as she left...

Throughout the entire Gaokao process, I didn't feel any nervousness or timidity at all. I just felt like the only one sober while everyone else was drunk...

Of course, I also felt the grand occasion when the college entrance examination was first resumed: the educated youth returning to the city, factory workers, the graduating high school students, and the intellectuals who left with regrets...

Outside the bustling examination center, she was fortunate enough to once again feel the distinctive characteristics of this era.

Having experienced the prosperity of the afterlife, she walked among the busy crowd, like a lonely elf or a lone wolf licking its wounds, as if she was separated from this world...

Only when she returned to that small courtyard and was accompanied by Chu's father, Chu's mother, and Little Stone did she feel a little warmth in this world...

Of course, with her "hard" efforts, she has already acquired 8 properties in this prosperous metropolis of the future, including six courtyard houses, a shop, and a lakeside courtyard...

Of course, she did all this secretly. Anyway, now with Chu Xia and A Qiu's care, plus the care of Chu's mother, Chu Xi was like a free bird flying high in the sky...

By the way, she has also thought about other ways to make money, but the situation has not been clear enough in the past two years, so she decided to wait for the time being.

However, what made her feel most comfortable and excited was her self-defined "National Protection Movement." In this special era when the country was still underdeveloped, impoverished and weak, there were still many landlords, bullies, secret agents, spies, and old guards from the previous dynasty. Even more were those GWH members who made shady profits under the banner of the "Great Movement"...

With Chu Xi's restless mind, teleportation skills and mental strength, she could "walk around" the entire Kyoto almost in one night, so she really discovered quite a few dark or gray areas.

So, "the law is long and wide, and nothing can escape it." Chu Xi, the "national protector" of the country, kindly helped the country "deal with it," and he did it without leaving a name behind...

As a result, some shady people throughout Kyoto began to tremble with fear, fearing that one day they would be inexplicably knocked unconscious and sent to the police station, or that the "King of Thieves" would raid their homes and leave nothing behind...

Mother Chu watched her silly daughter cheerfully every day, taking care of her during the day and reading books. She had no worries about preparing for the college entrance exams, nor did she feel embarrassed about being a "lion" in her parents' home. Although she wished her child would stay, it would be better if she didn't have such thoughts...

Living a peaceful and leisurely life is truly unique in this poor era.

The day after the college entrance examination, Chu Xi received a letter from Shi Peng.

The letter, written in a firm hand, told her that everything was fine with him. It also primarily informed her that he had already recognized his family. Although he hadn't returned to Beijing to recognize his ancestors due to his mission, everyone who needed to know already knew...

He wanted to write everything in the letter, detailing everything he had heard since childhood, his subsequent investigations, the Wang family's investigation of his files, their visits to his home... It was more than ten pages long. He must be thinking about her, them...

He had nothing to hide. He was unfamiliar and indifferent to the Wang family, especially his father, at the beginning, but gradually became calm and indifferent after getting to know them better. Then, he became familiar with them and became dependent on them after his father shamelessly lived in their unit for nearly a month.

A child who had been lonely since childhood seemed to feel the warmth of home for the first time, and he couldn't wait to get close to it. Who could understand him...

Chu Xi knew that her future father-in-law, whom she had never met, must have put in a lot of effort. He spent a lot of energy over that month to slowly awaken Shi Peng's affection...

The happiest news was the news that Shi Peng would be transferred back to Kyoto. Chu Xi had already begun to imagine her retirement life...

In that small courtyard by the lake, the family was reunited, noisy and noisy every day, not troubled by intrigues, not struggling for livelihoods. Occasionally, they would be "generous" enough to help out, and consider it chivalrous, or go to help Shi Peng, the people, and the country with "advice and gifts", in order to live up to their life in this era...

Although she had previously anonymously sent some advanced information to Shi Peng, he had obviously reported it directly. This honest and upright man was truly unique. Of course, this also showed how good her man was. He wasn't the type to seek quick success and take advantage of others...
