Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 580 They really are good brothers!

Upon first meeting Du Zhichu, Xin blinked hard, giving her a suspicious look before finally believing her.

She still made the obvious mistake.

She had assumed that Du Zhi must be around the same age as her parents, given how old Du Shangyu was, but she never expected that Du Zhi herself looked to be only in her early twenties.

Of course, this is also related to her petite and delicate appearance.

The thin woman, heavily pregnant, opened the door, and the first person she saw was Su Zihang. Her face lit up with surprise and delight. "Ah, Zihang, you're back!"

When looking at the other people, he focused his attention on Chu Xin and Zhou Yichen, since they were the only two strangers.

Just as Chu Xin had imagined, Du Zhi was also very surprised, "You... are Chu Xin?"

How could such a bright and beautiful young girl be the fierce girl her father described?

Chu Xin quickly composed herself, forcing a smile, "Yes, that's me!"

Du Zhi grabbed her hand with delight and pulled her into the room, saying, "I never expected you to be such a beautiful person. Come in quickly."

Chu Xin felt slightly uncomfortable being held by her, but she didn't break free immediately. Du Zhi looked frail and weak, and she was afraid that if she used too much force, she would throw Chu Xin away.

Following her force into the room, Chu Xin's hands were freed only after she was seated on the bed.

To be honest, this sudden meeting was unexpected not only for Zhou Yichen, but also for Chu Xin.

Compared to the deep camaraderie between Zhou Yichen and Su Zihang, who felt no awkwardness with each other, she and Du Zhi were at a loss as to how to begin.

Previously, the two of them only existed in each other's hearsay. When they finally met, apart from the initial polite words, there was an awkward sense of intimacy between them.

Su Zihang helped Du Zhi sit down as well, saying, "Don't worry about these things, sit down quickly."

Then he pointed to Zhou Yichen and introduced him: "You've already met Chu Xin. This is my friend, Zhou Yichen."

Zhou Yichen stood up straight and nodded slightly to Du Zhi, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Back in the military, this form of address was so commonplace, but now it just comes out naturally.

Du Zhi blushed slightly. "Hello."

Du Zhi booked a standard room. She and Chu Xin were sitting on one bed. At this moment, the three big men were standing, and each of them was quite tall. The room wasn't very big to begin with. Chu Xin looked up at the three men who looked like they had just sprung up from the ground and gestured for them to sit on the other bed.

"Sit down, everyone. Standing here not only affects the light but also suffocates the air."

Du Zhi echoed, "Yes, sit down quickly."

There's only one chair in the room, so besides sitting on the floor, you have to sit on the bed.

"Thank you, Chu Xin. My dad told me about all the help you've given our family. Thank you so much. Without you, our whole family would have been wiped out."

Du Zhi wanted to express her gratitude properly, but tears started flowing uncontrollably as soon as she spoke.

Chu Xin was afraid of people crying in front of her, and suddenly didn't know how to comfort them. If it were a male comrade, she would have threatened him to stop crying.

But this woman was not only a lesbian but also a pregnant woman, which made her speechless for a moment.

"Hey, hey, don't cry, it's nothing."

While speaking, he glared at Su Zihang—you better hurry up and coax him!

Seeing this, Su Zihang quickly squatted down next to Du Zhi and comforted her with soft words.

Chu Xin didn't see anything particularly heartwarming about it; instead, she felt like a big bad wolf luring chicks into a trap.

This couple, with their stark contrast in height and build, made Chu Xin feel somewhat uncomfortable.

However, they were indeed a couple who were truly in love. Su Zihang only had to say a few words of comfort to Du Zhi before she stopped crying. Then he smiled even more apologetically at Chu Xin, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh. I'm easily moved to tears, especially after I got pregnant."

Chu Xin, who was not one to complain, glanced at Du Zhi's belly without showing any emotion when she heard that pregnancy was also a factor, and said, "It's okay, I understand. Let's not thank each other. As long as the past has a good outcome now, that's a good thing. Good things should be happy, so let's all just be happy and not cry, okay?"

"Pfft!"

Du Zhi could tell how afraid Chu Xin was of her wiping away tears; it was just as her father had said.

Who could bear to make someone like that uncomfortable?

Du Zhi quickly changed the subject, "I haven't been back since you left. My dad often talks about you when he has nothing to do, and Wang Qiang's ears are almost calloused from all the talking about you."

In fact, if he hadn't known the nature of Chu Xin's current job and the sensitive nature of Du Shangyu's identity, he would have written a letter and sent it to Kyoto long ago.

These words made Chu Xin blush with shame.

Since leaving the Red Flag Brigade, she has spent every day in various conspiracies, gunfights, and assassinations. When she has a rare moment of peace, her first thought is to spend more time with her parents and family. The only sweetness in her life is the occasional romantic feeling that Zhou Yichen brings her. She doesn't really think much about anyone else.

After receiving New Year's gifts and letters from Northeast China during the Spring Festival, she only sent back gifts and letters in return, and did not pay much attention to them after that.

Rubbing the tip of her nose, Chu Xin asked, "How is Uncle Du's health? How's his work? Wang Qiang entrusted him with all this work thanks to him. You don't need to keep thanking me; I should thank you all too."

If that kid shows no improvement or is difficult to manage, tell me, and I'll call and yell at him!

After all, teaching students takes a lot of effort, and Du Shangyu is still so old.

Zhou Yichen lowered his head and slightly curled his lips. This little girl is really capable of doing this.

Du Zhi smiled and said, "No way, Wang Qiang is very smart and capable, and he is very filial to my dad. My dad has placed all his hopes and expectations on Wang Qiang, and he is full of energy every day."

That is precisely why people who have suffered for so long can live such a fulfilling life.

"That's good." Chu Xin nodded. This could be considered a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Du Zhi's physical constitution was weak. Even though she was very excited to see Chu Xin, her mind could not keep up with her body. After hearing Chu Xin talk about some of her recent situation, she began to show signs of fatigue.

Su Zihang felt sorry for her and said softly, "If you're tired, you should rest first. It's easy for us to meet since we're all in the same city. We can chat slowly after you've rested."

Chu Xin also comforted her, "Yes, you should rest first, we'll talk again tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Ge Shaoting and Zhou Yichen quickly stood up and walked out. It would be too impolite for the two grown men to stay standing there while everyone else was resting.

"Alright then, I'm sure you all have something to say, so I won't bother you any longer."

Du Zhi didn't try to be strong and obediently lay down.

The four met again in a guesthouse room that Zhou Yichen had temporarily booked.

"I've already delivered the letter; Yang Zheng will be here soon."

"Is there something you need to talk to me about?"

Zhou Yichen and Su Zihang spoke almost simultaneously. After a moment of surprise, they both stood up, patted each other's chests, and said in unison:

"They are indeed good brothers!"
