  Just as Chu Yu was staring at Teacher Chu with a good look, Principal Huang's voice increased in time: "Classmates, next I will give you all a comprehensive opportunity to understand Teacher Chu. You have three minutes to ask questions to Teacher Chu, as long as it is reasonable, I believe Teacher Chu will not be stingy to answer your questions."

  "Teacher Chu, may I ask what course you will be teaching us?"

  "English and History."

  "Teacher Chu, how long will you be staying in China, I mean how long will you be our class teacher?"

  "It's up to you guys, if you behave well, it means I'm doing a good job and I'll stay longer. If not, I might be gone in three months." Chu Nianxiao's response made the students below burst into laughter, instantly bringing their relationship closer together.

  One after another, the students asked questions, and Chu Nianxiao easily resolved them all. From time to time, he used clever and humorous answers that made his classmates burst into laughter.

  "Teacher Chu, where is your home?"

  "Teacher Chu, what cosmetics do you use?"

  "Teacher Chu, do you have a boyfriend?"

  "Teacher Chu, are you mixed-blood?"

  "Teacher Chu, your measurements are..." The classmate who asked the question only got halfway through before being knocked on the head by the deputy class leader standing next to him, and the second half of the sentence was swallowed back.

  As the students' questions became increasingly off-topic, Principal Huang let out a loud cough and scanned the students who were asking nonsense questions, his gaze implying "If you kids ask such questions again, you'll be held back for a year".

  "There's only half a minute left, and it's almost time for class to start. The students' questions have also come to an end, so I think that's all for today." Principal Huang was afraid of hearing more random and confusing questions, so he decided to cut short the three-minute Q&A session.

  "I still have a few questions." Chu Yu suddenly stood up and said.

  "Ah, it's Xiao Yi! Do you have a question too? Alright, go ahead and ask quickly." Principal Huang saw that the one standing up to ask a question was Xiao Yi, and his stiff face, which had been frozen due to the previous nonsensical questions he had heard, immediately broke into a warm and gentle smile.

  To know that the current Xiao Yi was the first in all six subjects in his third year of junior high school! In more than a decade of teaching, it's rare to see such a talented student. As for him, Principal Huang naturally wouldn't have any harsh demands, and he can't spoil him enough.

  Chu Nian stood as before with a faint smile on his face. Chu Yu nodded slightly and said, "This classmate, what's the question? Please ask."

  "Is it convenient for Teacher Chu to reveal his age?"

  When Chu Yu asked this question, Principal Huang's face looked a bit ugly, but he had already said it before and couldn't say much at this time.

  Chu Nian was indeed generous, but only glanced at Chu Yu with interest and replied: "Twenty-three."

  Upon hearing the three words "twenty-three", Chu Yu seemed to have swallowed a tranquilizer, letting out a sigh of relief. "Thirty years have passed, no matter how you calculate it, she can't be 'her' child... It must be my own misconception..."

  Just as he was about to sit down, Chu Yu asked another question that he had originally planned to add after confirming the possibility of Chu Nian's age, "Teacher Chu graduated from Edinburgh College, I'd like to ask where Teacher Chu lived before entering Edinburgh?"

  "Is this classmate familiar with Britain?"

  Chu Nian smiled slightly, revealing his pearly white teeth: "I lived with my mother in a small town on the outskirts of London before attending Edinburgh Academy. The town didn't have a name, but within its boundaries, there was a famous modern castle - Yitian Castle. It was built 36 years ago and is even larger than Windsor Castle, although this is not officially recognized by the British government. I don't know if this classmate is aware of these facts."

  "Yu Tian Bao......" Chu Yu was stunned, completely and utterly shocked by these three words.

  Thirty-nine years ago, he personally circled a large piece of land, personally drew the architectural blueprint, spent three years and billions of pounds, and finally built a towering castle in three years. The name of this castle is --- Yitian Castle.

  "There are countless coincidences in the world, but this one is too far-fetched. Moreover, their ages don't match either, yet there's clearly a connection between them. No way, I must get to the bottom of it and understand it thoroughly, but absolutely not at this time and place." As he thought this, Chu Yuqiang suppressed his excitement and sat back down in his seat, "I've finished asking my questions."

  What surprised all the students in Class 1, Grade 3 was that Xiao Yi, who had never finished a whole day's classes since school started after National Day, stayed at school for a whole day.

  "Xiao Yi, class is already over, why are you still sitting there in a daze!" Su Jingyi waved her small hand in front of Chu Yu for the nth time, somewhat worried.

  "......I'm fine...... Xiao Jing, you go back first, I still have some things to think about, so I won't see you home." Chu Yu withdrew from the memories of the past and smiled faintly at Su Jingyi.

  "Then you must remember to go home early!" Su Jingyi reminded her a few more times before shouldering her backpack and leaving the classroom. If it weren't for the fact that she was going to help her mom celebrate her birthday with her older sister tonight, she probably wouldn't have agreed to leave even if Xiao Yi had let her go first.

  Chu Yu sat in the classroom for a while, watching Su Jingyi walk out of the school gate from the window. Until all the students had left, Chu Yu came back to his senses and took out the limited edition mini satellite phone that Bai Chen had strongly requested him to carry with him yesterday.

  "...... Xiaobai, can you look up someone's information for me? Let me know as soon as you get any results."

  Bai Cen Can rarely heard the boss speak in such a hurry, and while repeatedly responding with "yes", when Chu Yu reported the name of the person he wanted to investigate, Bai Cen Can couldn't help but exclaim: "Boss, are you looking for Miss's descendant? You... your daughter?"

  The other end of the phone was silent for a long time, "Let's investigate clearly before talking, some places are still unexplained, now...now I don't even have 20% certainty." In fact, Chu Yu's heart was clearer than ever. Even if Chu Nian had a deep relationship with "her" thirty years ago, it was impossible for her to be his daughter. He and "her" were at most just holding hands, and there was never any more intimate behavior, so where did the talk of a daughter come from?

  He hung up the phone and walked out of the classroom, but he went to the teacher's office. "Whether Chu Nianxiao is her descendant or not, talking to him more may get some more practical things."
