The next day, Li Xiyue boarded a train to Jiangsu Province alone.
The autumn air was crisp and clear, and everything seemed so peaceful and serene.
In the evening, when Ye Tian got home from get off work, his two nephews pulled him back into the house.
"Third Uncle, please, could you please sign your name on our exam papers again?" the Chu brothers pleaded.
Ye Tian chuckled, "Did you fail again?"
The two brothers nodded shyly.
"This is the last time. You must study hard from now on."
"Thank you, Third Uncle. You're the best!" The two brothers showered him with compliments.
Ye Tian took the test paper and signed Chu Zhou's name on it.
"Wow! Uncle, your handwriting is exactly the same as my dad's."
"Yes, Third Uncle, how did you do that?"
Ye Tian said helplessly, "It's all because of you two brats, you keep making me sign things. I specially imitated your father's handwriting, I can't let you find out, can I?"
"Third Uncle is amazing!" The two brothers hugged him and praised him profusely.
As he came out of the brothers' room, he ran into Chu Zhou, who was returning from outside. "Big brother."
“Third brother, it’s Mother’s death anniversary in a few days. Let’s go pay our respects to her together,” Chu Zhou said, putting his arm around his younger brother’s shoulder.
Ye nodded. "Big brother, I've been back in the Chu family for over a year now. When will Grandpa let me change my surname back and acknowledge my ancestors?"
"Third brother, what Grandpa means is that it's already good enough that you're back. You're a member of our Chu family, and we family members know that. We don't want it to cause a big fuss. You also know that our Chu family has a special status, and you've been away from home for more than twenty years. I'm just afraid that some people with ulterior motives will use your identity to their advantage..."
"But don't worry, you will not be shortchanged in any way by the Chu family descendants."
Ye Tian lowered his eyes, "But I am still a member of the Chu family, and now my status is not legitimate..."
"Is someone outside gossiping about something?" Chu Zhou asked.
Ye Tian nodded.
Chu Zhou patted his younger brother on the shoulder to comfort him, "Don't take it to heart, and don't pay attention to it. You are a member of the Chu family, and no matter what others say, it can't change this fact."
After Chu Zhou returned to the house, Ye Tian stood alone in the courtyard, looking at the dark night sky, and clenched his fists.
Since that's the case, then don't blame me!
Fang Fang was packing her two children's schoolbags when she found the signed test paper. She grabbed her son's ear and asked, "Your father didn't sign it at all. Who did you ask to sign it for you?"
"It's Third Uncle." Chu Li cried out in pain and confessed everything.
Chu Sheng glared at his younger brother. "Traitor."
Chu Licai ignored his brother and asked, "Mom, is Uncle's handwriting exactly the same as Dad's?"
Fang Fang let go of them, looked at them under the light, and nodded, "They are indeed exactly the same. Your third uncle actually has such abilities."
"Third Uncle is amazing," Chu Li said with a grin.
Chu Sheng nodded. "Mom, please don't tell Dad about this, okay?"
"If you know you're afraid, then study hard and stop thinking about playing all day." Fang Fang put the test paper away.
The two brothers quickly promised, "We will definitely study hard from now on."
Fang Fang shook her head. They had promised so many times. Sigh, never mind. He's not cut out for studying. We'll send him to the army in the future, so he can make something of himself like his Uncle Xun.
In a forest somewhere, Chu Xun, covered in wounds, clutched his bleeding arm and ran wildly.
Several men were in hot pursuit, the sound of gunfire echoing through the mountains and forests.
"stop!"
"You can't escape!"
After running for a day and a night, he was exhausted and out of bullets.
Unable to run any further, he hid behind a large tree, took out the medicine he always carried with him, and found that he had already finished it.
All of his teammates who went on this mission with him perished, and he has only managed to hold on until now thanks to the medicine Yueyue gave him.
Holding the last medicine bottle, Chu Xun saw a stunningly beautiful face before his eyes.
Month after month...
The footsteps grew closer, and he was powerless to change the situation. Soon, several pairs of feet appeared in front of him.
He struggled to lift his head, looked at one of the familiar faces, and roared, "Xu Xiangyang, you have betrayed your country!"
"Commander Chu, I didn't want this either. Who told you to steal the woman I love most?" Xu Xiangyang said coldly.
Chu Xun clenched his fist. "You think that if you kill me, Yueyue will choose you? Don't dream about it!"
