Chapter 138: Sophia is Dead

Chapter 138

Days passed peacefully and happily as the weather grew colder. Chu Yang had switched to wearing sweaters and coats.

One day, Chu Yang received a phone call. "Hello?"

"Hello, Ma'am. This is XX Express delivery. Your package has arrived. Can you come out to receive it?"

Chu Yang was puzzled. "Huh? Security room? Which security room? I haven't ordered anything."

Then the delivery person stated her name and phone number. "You are Chu Yang, and your mobile number is 159XXX, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Then there's no mistake. It was sent from abroad, addressed to XX Residential Community, Building XX, Unit XX. That's your home address, isn't it?"

Chu Yang realized it must be from Chi Yan, but why was her name written on it?

"Oh, okay, thank you. Please leave it with the security guard and have him sign for me. I'll pick it up today."

"Sure."

After hanging up, Chu Yang sent a message to Chi Yan. "Yan, did you buy something for me? Online or from abroad?"

Chi Yan hadn't bought anything recently. "No, I didn't. What's up?" He usually bought things for her from physical stores.

"Nothing."

Chu Yang hung up, puzzled. In the afternoon after class, she followed Chi Yan back to his place, as she typically stayed in the dorms on Mondays.

Upon arriving at the community's security room, Chu Yang called out, "Hey, is there a package for me?"

The security guard recognized her. "Yes, yes, a rather long package."

It was indeed quite long, almost as tall as Chu Yang.

Chi Yan was also puzzled about someone sending Chu Yang a package, especially to this address.

Once they were back, Chu Yang immediately opened the package. After unwrapping the outer layer, she found a long box, and the patterns on it looked familiar. Chu Yang realized it must be from Sophia.

Chu Yang carefully opened the box to find a scepter inside, along with a letter. This scepter was the one Sophia had, but she had given it to Chu Yang.

Chu Yang opened the letter: My dear child, by the time you read this, I will have gone to join Alemia. Don't be sad. I have left a will, and all my possessions, including the castle, belong to you...

Two crows flew in, shaking off the snow on their feathers before flying over to Chu Yang, cawing. The new crow cawed as well.

Chu Yang took out some bread and tore off pieces for them. The other three girls gathered around. "The new crow has smoother feathers."

"Let's name it."

Chu Yang glanced at the pomelo Chi Yan had brought her and said, "How about Small Grapefruit?"

"Sure, that's a nice name. Small Grapefruit."

"Haha, compared to Ya Ya, that was really too casual."

"Ya Ya seems like a little boy, while Small Grapefruit is a girl?"

"Who knows? Should we check?"

Perhaps understanding, the two crows cawed and flew around the dorm room twice, preventing them from peeking.

Everyone laughed. "Okay, okay, we won't look. Come down and eat."

Jin Yang even brought out a bag of beef jerky.

Soon after, Chu Yang's phone rang. "Yang, I'm downstairs at your dorm building."

The moment he saw the first snow, Chi Yan had grabbed his car keys and driven his SUV over, wanting to enjoy this year's first snowfall with her.

"Okay, I'll be right down." Hanging up, Chu Yang quickly grabbed her bag, put on her coat, and said, "I'm heading out first. Take good care of those two."

"Don't worry, they won't starve. Go and have fun. Bye bye."

"Bye bye."

Downstairs, she saw Chi Yan leaning against the car, wearing a black coat. When he spotted her, he immediately smiled. Snowflakes had landed on him, leaving a thin layer of white on his shoulders, but he didn't seem to mind.

Chu Yang hurried over and patted the snow off his shoulders. "Why didn't you wait in the car for me?"

Chi Yan grabbed her hand. "I wanted you to see me the moment you came out. Let's get in the car first."

"Okay."

The car was warm. Seeing that Chu Yang wasn't wearing a scarf, Chi Yan took out his black woolen scarf from the car compartment and wrapped it around her before driving off.
