Chapter 74



Grandpa Chu and Grandpa Shen were still discussing things in the study, and words like "Liuyin City" and "Chen Rong" could be vaguely heard.

Lin Mo was dragged by his mother to move things. It was said that there were two large boxes, all filled with New Year supplies.

Chu Zehuai pulled Bai Yu into a dusty room.

"My parents were not at home all year round, and I spent most of my childhood here, so there are a lot of childhood memories here, as well as these little bits and pieces."

Chu Zehuai reached out and opened the drawer of the old wooden cabinet, introducing to Bai Yu the various things hidden inside.

A whole drawer of clay trinkets came to light.

"I made all this when I was very young. I didn't have any friends when I was young, so I made some 'friends' myself."

He picked up a sunflower made of clay and wiped off the dust.

“This one looks good.”

Bai Yu patrolled the bottom of the cabinet and successfully found a plant with vines among a pile of clay plants and zombies.

...

...

He didn't find the white rose, but this vine looked a bit like it.

It’s just a palm-sized clay plant, but every tiny vine looks lifelike, and the criss-crossing leaves are even carefully carved with patterns.

"This is a tangled water plant. When you place it on the bottom of the water, it will drag down any enemies that enter the water."

Chu Zehuai recalled, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Bai Yu's expression.

"If you like, I'll make one for you sometime. But I can't guarantee it will be as good as when I was a kid. I haven't made anything like this since I was fifteen."

"Eh? Why don't you continue? It seems like Captain Chu is really talented in this area."

Bai Yu was somewhat tempted, but after all, this entangled waterweed was not of the same species as his. He wondered if he could pay the other party a little salary and ask him to help make a clay rose figurine.

"On the one hand, I was busy, and on the other hand... doing this kind of thing would make me look childish and immature, and it wouldn't meet other people's expectations of me, so I just slowly let it go."

Chu Zehuai reached out and picked up the small entangled waterweed. The hardened clay still had Bai Yu's unique cool body temperature. He suppressed the emotions in his golden orange eyes and said,

"But I personally still like to do handicrafts, and sometimes I miss the quiet time alone."

"Captain Chu, there is no need to maintain the image in the eyes of others. I remember that there is no such provision in the laws of Dongzhou."

The law does not stipulate that executive officers must be ruthless and decisive in killing, or that adults cannot do childish and interesting things.

Bai Yu sat on the bed with his chin in his hand. He raised his head, and his smiling eyes met the other party's golden orange pupils: "Don't care about other people's opinions. No matter what Captain Chu becomes, I will always like you."

Chu Zehuai, who likes cooking, eating sweets and making clay plants, is really cute.

"Um."

Chu Zehuai stared at the person beside the bed. When he saw those eyes looking at him seriously, he quickly looked away as if he was burned by sparks and changed the subject quickly.

"In addition to the clay plants, there are also some photos of me when I was a child. If you are interested, you can also take a look at them."

"OK."

The dusty photo album was taken out from the corner of the cabinet. After brushing off the dust, some old photos came into view.

"Although my parents are busy, they still take time to visit me at the old house. These photos were taken at that time and are some kind of precious memories."

The first photo is of Chu Zehuai and Chu Yungui.

The man in the white coat had similar eyebrows and eyes to Chu Zehuai, but his aura seemed gentle and elegant. He had a pair of gray dove wings behind him and was playing a violin.

Young Chu Zehuai sat on the sofa behind the man, with his arms folded and a cold look in his eyes.

According to normal human thinking, Bai Yu should now praise the deep love between father and son and the warm atmosphere, but the look in Captain Chu's eyes in the photo looks like the kind of look that wants to stab someone.

The word "warmth" was stuck in my throat, and I couldn't say it against my will.

On the other side, Chu Zehuai's fingers touched the man's face in the photo, and said in a faint voice:

"I remember that I had just awakened my ability and couldn't control my wings well, so I accidentally got stuck on the door frame. When my father found out, he came back and played "Carmen" in front of me for three whole years."

Bai Yu: .....I didn’t know how to comment for a moment.

This page was turned over, and the second page showed a woman wearing an apron and holding a plate. She also had a pair of gray wings behind her, and at this moment she was facing the little Chu Zehuai.

Unlike the previous clear photo, the people in this photo have afterimages, probably because both of them were captured in a panic.

"Is Captain Chu's mother also an Awakened Bird?"

"Yes, the Chu family just often produces bird awakeners, but it does not monopolize this ability. Mom and Dad are together because of this special fate."

Chu Zehuai looked at the photo and recalled for a few seconds, finally remembering the situation when it was taken.

"I took this when I was fourteen. My mother came home once in a while and said she caught some particularly plump crabs while on a business trip to Linhai City and wanted to make me a feast."

The pair of golden orange eyes softened, looking at the woman in the photo with nostalgia, but then seemed to remember something, and the nostalgic look turned into a complicated one:

"I still remember that she was busy in the kitchen for three hours. When she finally brought the crab to me, the crab stretched out its claws and clamped my mouth. It took a whole week for the swelling to go down."

So, in the three hours his mother was in the kitchen, she did nothing except blow it up and break all the seasoning bottles.

After that, he resolutely refused to let the other party cook for him, and embarked on the independent path of cooking and eating by himself.

Bai Yu:.........

He still didn't know how to comment, so he could only give a polite smile.

"Accidents are inevitable, but judging by the photos, mom and dad must love this family very much."

"They are actually trying to be good parents, but they are too busy with work and their personalities are..."

Chu Zehuai thought about his parents' personalities, and the speechless feeling he had felt when he was young came back to him again.

The two of them called themselves two lively, cute and funny pigeons, and they would often lament why they gave birth to such a dull and uninteresting son.

Bai Yu always felt that Captain Chu's parents were different from the parents of ordinary families he saw in human books.

He thought about it and felt it was normal.

Captain Chu is not an ordinary person, so his parents are indeed different from ordinary parents.

The following photos are some warm daily life of the Chu family.

What about the father Chu pretending to be a ghost to scare his son, the mother Chu forcing her son to wear a beautiful little skirt, and the two dragging young Chu Zehuai to dance in the Qinghe City Square, attracting a lot of attention...

Bai Yu looked at the figure in the photo, and the thoughts that came to him in the "Happy Opera House" came back to him.

Sure enough, he still wanted to see Captain Chu perform a courtship dance for him.
