"Next, I should head back to the Nuwa Base for the night."
Chu Bamboo walked as he thought. But as he continued, he suddenly realized something and couldn't help but feel a little wry. 'For some strange reason, it feels like the Nuwa Base has become my home.'
Taking his phone out of his pocket, Chu Bamboo glanced at the time, his eyes widening in surprise. He had a missed call!
Chu Bamboo pondered. 'This number... If I'm not mistaken, this should be Madam Xue's, right? Lu Muxue's mother, Governor Lu's wife... Why would she suddenly call me at a time like this?'
Chu Bamboo was a little confused. He hadn't had the phone for long, and he hadn't saved Madam Xue's number in it—though he had saved Governor Lu's.
After a moment's thought, Chu Bamboo called the number back. The call connected after a few rings.
"Hello! Mr. Xiao Zhu." Madam Xue's clear and gentle voice came through the phone.
