Why the name chen Yu???

After He Qi finished assigning the task to his subordinate, he saw that there was no water left in the Third young master’s cup, so he carried the kettle and added some more water.

“How high is the courtyard wall?” Lou Ming asked all of a sudden.

He Qi blanked for a while before responding quickly, “290 centimeters.”

“It’s that tall ah.” Lou Ming smiled, “That little girl has a good skill.”

Didn’t know if it was an illusion, but He Qi felt that Third young master Lou had a good impression towards the young daughter of the Chen family. His guess was soon confirmed.

When she was pointed with guns, Chen Yu felt that if she didn’t explain herself there, she would at least get a layer of her skin shed. So she shouted that her father was the Mayor, fight for an opportunity, and because of that, the other party only warned her and let her free.

Chen Yu covered her small heart with her hand for three seconds just to make sure that she’s still alive before running back to her house.

She skillfully climbed over the wall and tree, and returned to her bedroom on the second floor. After sitting down for a while, a knock rang from the door.

“W-who?” Chen Yu asked, still full of guilt.

“It’s me.” Chen Yang’s voice came from outside.

“O… oh.” Chen Yu hurriedly stood up to open the door, and smiled after looking at her own brother.

Chen Yang saw her sister’s head full of sweat, he couldn’t help but wondered, “How come you’re sweating?”

“Ah?” Chen Yu raised her hands in panic and wiped the sweat on her face, she dryly smiled, “It’s… to hot.”

“You haven’t turned on the AC?” Chen Yang noticed that Chen Yu’s room was very hot at this moment. The weather in August was the hottest time in the capital, and even though it’s already evening, it was still very hot.

Chen Yang walked into the room and picked up the remote control to help Chen Yu turn on the AC. He knew that many children in the countryside were very economical after coming to the city, so he thought that Chen Yu was also reluctant to turn on the AC for this same reason.

He wanted to say something, but was afraid of hurting his sister’s self-esteem. After contemplating for a while, he decided to say, “Summer in the city is very hot, it’s best to turn on the AC when you’re inside the house, otherwise we would worry if you get a heatstroke.”

“En, en, I know.” Chen Yu didn’t even notice her brother’s careful attention for her glass heart.

“Then, go and take a bath, we’ll eat dinner in a bit.” Chen Yang put down the remote control.

“Okay.”

Waiting until Chen Yang walked out, Chen Yu sighed and leaned against the door, patting her small chest while secretly whispering ‘It’s a close call’.

After Chen Yu took a bath, changed her clothes and went downstairs, the food in the kitchen was almost ready too. Because they wanted to give a welcome dinner to Chen Yu, the Chen family who usually only had simple meals on the weekday, rarely made a table full of dishes today.

During dinner, Mother Chen kept on picking dishes to Chen Yu’s bowl, Chen Yu can’t refuse easily, so she could only eat until her stomach almost bursting.

“After two days I’ll send someone to change your residence’s registration, do you want to change your name?” Mayor Chen asked.

“Change name? Why should I change my name?” Chen Yu tilted her head in puzzlement.

“Then it won’t be changed, let’s still call you Chen Yu.” Although Mayor Chen wanted to keep the name he saved for his daughter, but, after all, Chen Yu had already used to this name and it was inconvenient to change it.

After hearing this, Mother Chen couldn’t help but ask, “Who helped you get this name? Why is it called Chen Yu [fish], was it because you like eating fish as a child?”

“No.” Chen Yu shook her head, “My name is the old man’s… cough…grandpa’s choice. It was supposed to be picked from the ‘prince’ side character that means ‘fine jade’. But when I went to the village register, the village head uncle made a mistake and wrote it as fish from carp fish. When grandpa found out, the account had already been registered, and grandpa was too lazy to change it so he just use it until now.”

“Fish from ‘carp fish’ is also very good, it sounds very lively oh.” Mother Chen smiled.

Mayor Chen also nodded with a smile.

“Do you think it’s lively?” A trace of doubt flashed in Chen Yu’s eyes, “Do you have other associative connection?”

“Associative connection?” Mother Chen glanced to her husband and son, but the two people were also very confused.

“Xishi?” Chen Yang reacted the fastest.

“That’s right.” Chen Yu’ expression was ‘I knew you guys can guess it’, “Because of this, my classmate didn’t call my name when I was in school, they all like to call me Xishi or Meiren, you can also call me this way.”

[T/N: a story about the four greatest ancient beauties (Meiren \= beautiful person), one of them was called Xishi, who’s so beautiful that when she went to the stream, the fish would stare endlessly at her face, forgot how to swim, and sink to the depths of the water, thus the idiom ]

“...” The three people of the Chen family fell into a strange silence once again, the experienced Father Chen reacted the fastest and he quickly adjusted his state of mind, “It’s a very interesting nickname, then we’ll also call you Xishi in the future.”
