Chapter 51: Hundred Family Surnames

  Remember in one second, wonderful internet for free!

  Qiao Yu smiled and punched him, just turned around to see Xiao Yun jumping off the sofa and running over, "Second uncle, second uncle, I've been learning the Hundred Family Surnames recently! Xiao is the 99th, along with Mu, Xiao, and Yin. Second uncle, I can recite your surname, Chi Qiao Yinyu, Qiao is the 282nd."

  Qiao Yu patted his little head and praised, "So clever!"

  Xiao Yun Xing's face was filled with pride, "You can mention anything, I will recite it."

  Qiao Yu thought for a moment, "Then... what about Ji?"

  Xiao Yun Xing quickly replied, "Xi Ji Ma Qiang, 134th."

  Xiao Ziyuan laughed on the side, "Your Second Uncle asked the wrong season, he was asking about the memorial Ji."

  Xiao Yun woke up and rubbed his head, "Memorial Ji ah, Xiong Ji Shu Wei, the 122nd."

  Qiao Yu suddenly felt that this number was very familiar, "122?"

  "Is it 122? Second Uncle, what's wrong with you? Isn't it right?"

  "You just said Joe was which number?"

  "Ah, 282."

  "122, 282..." Qiao Yu repeated in a low voice several times, then suddenly raised his head, "Second Uncle has something to do, I'll leave first and come back to see you later."

  After finishing speaking, he waved goodbye to Xiao Ziyuan and hurried away.

  Xiao Yun Xing asked with a puzzled face, "Dad, what's wrong with Ji?"

  Xiao Ziyuan raised an eyebrow, "Memorial's Ji, do you remember that pretty sister, her surname was also Ji."

  Xiao Yun Xing blinked her big round eyes, "Is it related to Pretty Sister again? Why does Second Uncle always act abnormal whenever we mention Pretty Sister?"

  Xiao Ziyuan was amused by him, "Even you've noticed? Your second uncle is indeed a failure."

  Qiao Yu didn't know Ji Si Xuan had gone to the construction site until he arrived at the studio.

  Ji Siyuan, wearing a safety helmet and holding a blueprint, stood on the high platform and said something to the construction workers on site. When he saw him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and soon he turned his head and instructed a few more sentences, "Let's do it this way for now."

  Qiao Yu stood still, watching her come down. Although his face didn't show excitement, his footsteps were much lighter, "Aren't you supposed to arrive at night? Why are you so early? Is something wrong?"

  Qiao Yu said he would arrive at night when he called her yesterday, but he couldn't wait and came directly.

  He smiled and said, "Nothing, I just came a bit earlier."

  The weather was already very cold, with a biting wind. Perhaps she had been outside for too long, her face was blown bright red, but her eyes were shining brightly. He reached out and gently touched her face, which was indeed icy to the touch. He smoothed out her hair, which had been messed up by her safety helmet, then took her hand and walked with her towards the office. "Cold?"

  Occasionally, workers passing by would smile and greet the two of them.

  Ji Siyuan suddenly withdrew her hand and scolded with a face full of blame, "They saw it!"

  Qiao Yu smiled and wrapped her hands in his palms again, speaking softly, "What's there to be afraid of?"

  Before that, they would also have slight physical contact, but as soon as she showed any resistance, he would let go. However, this time he insisted on holding her hand and walked out with their fingers intertwined.

  Next to the construction site, there is a temporary office with a lot of things piled up in a mess. One wall is covered with A4 paper and sticky notes.

  Ji Siyun poured him a glass of water, "Are you messed up again? In fact, this is what an architect looks like. Not so bright and beautiful, only shuttling between construction sites with a dusty face, the grand ambitions at graduation ultimately boil down to these steel bars and concrete."

  Qiao Yu would roughly clean up every time he came to check on the construction progress, but when he came next time, it was a mess again. Later, as more things piled up, he feared that if he cleaned up, they wouldn't be able to find them, so he simply gave up.

  Qiao Yu took a sip and turned his head to look out the window, where he could already see the outline of the resort village. He didn't know whether to feel excited or disappointed, and spoke in a flat tone, "The progress is very fast."

  Ji Siyuan also looked out of the window and nodded slightly in the midst of a noisy rumbling sound, softly echoing, "Yes."

  The landscape designer sent by the headquarters arrived yesterday and was asked to speed up the progress in order to return earlier. Completion means the end of the project, and it's good to have a good rest after the end. However, the end of this project also means that she and Qiao Yu will be separated again.

  Ji Siyun didn't want to think about it anymore, and quickly spoke up to break the silence. After simply tidying up, she looked at Qiao Yu and said, "Shall we go back to the workshop?"

  After returning to the studio, Ji Siyu continued to finish today's work. Qiao Yu sat across from her, distractedly flipping through a few pages of a book, occasionally looking up at her.

  Ji Siyun stopped abruptly and said, "You have something to say to me?"

  Qiao Yu hesitated for a moment, "May I borrow your computer for a bit?"

  Ji Siyuan pushed the computer in front of him, "Use it."

  Qiao Yu sat down across from her with his computer, quickly glancing at her, she was lowering her head to look at her phone and didn't notice him.

  He quickly found the folder according to Wei Xun's instructions, and after double-clicking, the password input window popped up. He felt a bit nervous and subconsciously looked at Ji Siyu again.

  Ji Siyun lowered her head and spoke expressionlessly, "What are you staring at me for? Are you feeling guilty? Have you been accessing the adult website on my computer?"

  "How is that possible?" Qiao Yu smiled casually and quickly entered 6 digits, 122282, then the folder opened.

  Inside were several folders arranged in a row by year, he casually opened one, then paused, looked quietly for a long time, and only then moved his fingers to open all the folders and took a look.

  Inside are all these years of information about him, videos, photos, news screenshots, magazine scans. Some he himself can't even remember what happened when.

  He took a look at the latest access records, which were news materials from that year when he went abroad for a visit, and the time coincided with that evening.

  It turned out she was looking at this back then.

  Qiao Yu was silent for half a day, and Ji Siyuan looked up at him, only to feel that his expression was somewhat strange. Although his face was calm, his eyes had an intentionally suppressed meaning, as if he was staring at something, but even when she stood up and walked over, he didn't notice.

  Ji Siyun quietly walked behind him, looked down at a glance, and also stiffened.

  She hadn't looked at any of these materials, only saw them for the first time a few days ago. She hated him, so she didn't look, but didn't want to miss out either, and mechanically collected everything, then piled it all in this folder.

  She didn't know how Qiao Yu knew, but he had been acting strangely since he stepped into the office, probably having planned it for a long time.

  Her breath was very close to him, and Qiao Yu didn't dare move either.

  After a while, she slowly stood up straight and stood behind Qiao Yu, coldly asking, "How did you know the password?"

  Qiao Yu didn't look at her or move, staring at the full screen of information about him, and slowly spoke out, "Xiong Jishu Wei, Chi Qiao Yinyu, 122, 282."

  Ji Siyun felt a bit annoyed and embarrassed, as if she was standing in front of him with all her insincere words exposed.

  "How on earth did you guess it!"

  Qiao Yu suddenly stood up and turned around to look at him, "As for how I guessed it, I'll tell you in a minute. Actually, what I want to ask is..."

  He stopped halfway through his sentence, and Ji Siyu began to tense up, afraid that he would humiliate her with this, after all, she had done the same to him before. She didn't dare look at him as he casually picked up the cup on the table and lowered his head to drink water, trying to use the cup to cover up his panic, holding his breath waiting for him to continue speaking.

  Qiao Yu looked at her actions and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, "What I want to ask is, why does your surname have to be in front of mine?"

  "Ugh......" Ji Si Xuan suddenly coughed violently after choking on water.

  Qiao Yu patted her back slowly and gently, "Don't be nervous. Although I don't have a chauvinistic mindset, I'll still feel a bit uneasy about it, can you change it to 282122?"

  Ji Siyun swung her hand open and glared at him fiercely, "Who's nervous? You'd better say how you guessed it?!"

  "Wei Xin told me the first three digits are 122."

  "How did you guess?"

  "Xiao Zi Yuan's precious son told me."

  "Xiao Yun Xing? How did he know?"

  "He has recently been learning the Hundred Family Surnames, and as the son of Xiao Ziyuan and Sui Yi, he can even remember the rankings. He told me that Qiao is 282, so I took the opportunity to test him and asked him which number Ji is."

  Ji Siyun didn't expect to be outsmarted by a child of just a few years old, and in her anger, she exclaimed, "How old is he?! Learning the Hundred Family Surnames?! Is Xiao Ziyuan sick?!"

  Qiao Yu didn't think so, "Don't you think we have a lot of fate with this child?"

  Ji Si Xuan snorted in disdain, "I don't think so."

  Qiao Yu smiled and pointed at the computer, "Can I... copy it back and take a closer look?"

  Ji Siyuan immediately snatched the computer back, "No! You're not allowed to touch my computer from now on!"

  Qiao Yu knew that if she continued to provoke her, she would really lose her temper, so she stopped in time.

  At dinner time, Qiao Yu handed out several invitation letters on the dining table. "The Peaceful Night is approaching, and the department has arranged a banquet. This is an invitation letter. If you have time, go take a look."

  A group of people have been here for several months, either staring at blueprints or going to the construction site to listen to the noise, and whenever they hear any activity, their faces light up with excitement.

  Ji Siyuan pinched it in her hand and looked at it, seeming quite solemn, "Who are these people going to?"

  Qiao Yu explained, "It's just that there are cooperative units with each department head. On the construction side, apart from you, there are several architectural design institutes and construction group companies. The resort project is a key point, and they specifically asked you to attend."

  Ji Siyuan and Wei Xing simultaneously stuffed the invitation into Xu Bingjun's arms after listening, saying in unison, "Your job."

  Xu Bingjun was speechless. "Can't you two show some compassion for the elderly? I brought you two in, it's simply the biggest regret of my life!"

  Ji Siyuan saw Xu Bingjun showing signs of getting angry, and quietly took back the invitation letter. "How could that be? I was in charge of bidding for the first time and won it! And I won it beautifully! You're so proud!"

  Xu Bingjun snorted coldly, "But afterwards the industry began to spread rumors that our law firm was not good enough and relied on beauty to make up for it! Seriously questioning our professional integrity!"

  Ji Siyuan's face was innocent, "Blame me! At least it's better than some people who didn't get the bid on their first try."

  Wei Xing was not convinced, "Although I didn't win the bid for the first time in charge, but I got the most beautiful girl from the bidding party and the highest bid fee!"

  "How dare you say that?!" Xu Bingjun slapped the invitation letter on his head, "We all have to go at that time! Not one can be missing!"

  Qiao Yuwei smiled and watched, since that night, he saw Xu Bingjun again, carefully observed, but did not find any clues. Xu Bingjun's attitude towards Ji Siyuan seemed to be just an ordinary colleague relationship, his eyes, movements, nothing unnatural. When Xu Bingjun faced him, everything was as usual. It seemed that they had never met that night, and Xu Bingjun had never hinted anything to him.
