Chapter 27

  Yu Cai made up her mind to go home and avoid the storm for a few days after finishing the exam, and talk about those things later. But she didn't expect that as soon as she finished the last subject, Lao Mei called her to the office, where the person she least wanted to see, Qi Shu Fan, was sitting.

  Since Old Mei was there, Yu Cai had no choice but to obediently call out "Uncle".

  Qishu Fan had actually just rushed back that morning and hadn't even had time to go home before driving directly to school, so he naturally thought Yu Cai was on vacation and couldn't find her.

  Yu Cai pretended to be polite and accompanied Qi Shu Fan to the office, where Qi Shi was also summoned by the teacher. Qi Shu Fan asked Qi Shi about his behavior in school, then took the two of them out of the office.

  Yu got into the silver Buick, Yu Cai took off her cute skin and said with a serious face, "Mr. Qi, I'm really embarrassed to do this, and I think you have a suspicion of imposing your will on me".

  Qishu's lips curved into a gentle smile. "If Teacher Xiao Yu really doesn't want to, then forget it. This time, I wanted to ask for your help, Teacher Xiao Yu."

  It turned out that Yu Cai was much more tender than Qi Shu Fan, this old fox. Hearing Qi Shu Fan not mention that matter again, he immediately let out a sigh of relief, "What's the hurry, I'll definitely do my best to help if I can."

  "It's actually very simple, just see if Little Yu teacher is happy or not."

  Yu Cai Huo raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't tell me that you asking for my help means I have to agree to sell those two things to you."

  Qishu smiled and looked at her, "Of course not, but this isn't a bad suggestion either. Why don't Teacher Xiao Yu help me out again?"

  Yu Zai thoroughly put down his worries and smiled, "Although I don't know if I have the ability to help you with one thing, but I can definitely confirm that I absolutely do not have the ability to help you with two things".

  "Teacher Xiao Yu always likes to belittle himself!"

  "This is called respecting facts."

  As they spoke, they arrived at the Qi's building. Qi Shu Fan parked the car and led the two upstairs. Auntie had already received a call in advance, and dinner was ready.

  After dinner, Qi Shu Fan called Yu Cai to his room and briefly stated his thoughts. He said he wanted to bring her and Qi Shi's aunt to live in the city, and Yu Cai would continue to tutor Qi Shi, but with the addition of Chinese language classes, and her salary would be doubled.

  Yu Cai immediately refused. She couldn't get past her parents' concerns. Now that she's in college, she can spend the entire summer without going home.

  Qishu had already thought of a way out and said her parents would take care of that matter.

  Yu Cai suddenly felt a chill as she recalled what Lao Mei had said about the so-called English competition tutoring, and sneered, "You're not going to let Lao Mei come up with some kind of English summer camp again, are you?"

  "Of course not, but don't worry, if your parents object, I absolutely won't force it."

  "That won't work either, I'm a girl and it's really inconvenient."

  Qishu looked at her with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "Originally I was just going to ask one of my acquaintances to talk to your parents about it, but since you said that, why don't I go to your house sometime and recognize you as my goddaughter or something? You won't be uncomfortable with that, will you?"

  Yu Cai's face turned even colder, and she said with a fake smile, "Dear Uncle, think about it, if one day I start calling you 'dear DiDi Daddy', how would you feel?"

  "Qishu Fan was obviously disgusted, and after a moment of silence, said, 'If you insist, I think I can also tolerate it'."

  "Actually, dear uncle, have you ever thought that your proposal would not be agreed to by the other party? If I were a boy, I wouldn't want to have a delicate girl accompanying me either, it's annoying to death."

  "Shi will agree with you, besides, you're not spoiled and He Qi will also go to his mother's place in the city."

  "What's wrong with just having it?"

  "The key is if you don't go, Shi Zhi won't agree to move over."

  Yu Cai looked at him solemnly, "Mr. Qi, I think you're mistaken. Although Mr. Qi has always been good to me, I don't think it's reached the level you mentioned."

  "If you can't even do it, I think no one else can."

  Yu Cai coldly smiled, "I didn't know I was so important, and I hope Mr. Qi's words aren't implying that there's something special between me and Qi Shi".

  "Xiao Cai, don't be so sensitive, I didn't mean anything special. Zhi has never liked getting close to people since he was young, and the only girl he's ever had a slightly good relationship with is Yunyun, but that's just because he can tolerate her being around him without getting annoyed. You're the second girl he can tolerate and respect, but that doesn't represent any special feelings. Maybe he just thinks you're worthy of respect like I do, and Zhi is still young, I don't think he has any special thoughts yet."

  After taking off this tall hat, Yu Zai felt much more comfortable, but still huffed and said, "I haven't found you showing respect to me at any time."

  "Uh, maybe you just haven't noticed."

  Yu Cai's brain suddenly flashed with inspiration, and she jumped up, "Actually, you have the ability to disregard my opinion, and let my parents pack me up and send me to your house, right?"

  Qishu neither admitted nor denied it.

  Yu Cai sneered again, "To think that I still don't know what you do even now, how rude."

  Qishu Fan stretched out his hand to pat her shoulder, but Yu Cai dodged it. Qishu Fan could only say, "Little Cai, I'm just an ordinary government official, I just know a lot of people."

  "A government official? I thought you were a businessman, how rude of me. I only noticed that He Qi's mother was formidable and had been avoiding her, but I didn't expect you to be even more formidable with your overt and covert flattery. It seems I'm still too shallow and judged by appearance," Yu Cai sneered.

  "Xiao Cai, don't look at me with that gaze as if I'm using my authority to suppress you. I haven't come prepared to use strong-arm tactics. In front of you, I'm just a helpless father who can't manage his own child, seeking help from you, the teacher."

  Yu Cai's face was cold and silent, Qi Shu Fan habitually reached out to take a cigarette from the table. Why did this girl understand so much? He had only said one sentence, but she had inferred his extraordinary identity. He had been in contact with the He family for many years, and their relationship was not shallow. Although He Xia couldn't help but be overly polite to him as her superior, it didn't show on her face. She had only met He Xia a few times, so how did she figure it out?

  The cigarette hadn't even been lit yet, when Ji Shu Fan suddenly realized that Yu Cai had been staring at his hand all along. He immediately put it down and took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket, putting one in his mouth. Yu Cai would always make Ji Shu Fan bring back a big pack of chewing gum, and he had kept the habit of keeping a box in his pocket.

  Yu Cai saw Qi Shu that in her pocket was a piece of chewing gum, and her complexion slightly improved. Qi Shu immediately reached out to press on her shoulder and pulled her down to sit, "Little Cai, I know it's hard for you as a young girl to suddenly come with us to live in the city for two months, if you really don't want to then forget it - I'll just go back more often to accompany him".

  Qishu Fan's move to retreat and advance made Yu Cai hesitate. Not to mention that Qishu's family had always been very considerate of her, but in fact, she had also encountered such situations before. During her graduate studies, a mother had helped her daughter find a full-time tutoring job at home, with all expenses covered, for 3,000 yuan per month. Although Yu Cai didn't take the job, one of her seniors did. Now Qishu Fan's situation seemed similar, except that Qishu was a boy and about the same age as her...

  The fox who had become a spirit naturally sensed the change in Yu Cai's thoughts and sighed, "Actually, it's just these two years that are difficult to get through. Once he grows up and goes to university, I won't have to worry so much about him. Now, alas, summer vacation is here again and he doesn't have to attend classes, and no one is supervising him, I really can't put my mind at ease".

  Yu Cai was even more shaken, not to mention that Qi Shile might learn bad things. For these two months without classes, He Qi was also not around, and Qi Shile shouldn't go find Xia Yunyun alone either. Being alone at home was suffocating, there wasn't even anyone to talk to, and he originally had a bit of social anxiety...

  Qibook suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, Xiaocai, do you know whether Shizhi chose liberal arts or science?"

  Yu Cai's little heart skipped a beat again. You see, the question was asked in such a way that her own son's affairs had to be pitied to the point of coming to ask her!

  "He originally wanted to choose science, but He Qi always asked him to choose liberal arts, so he chose liberal arts."

  Qishu frowned, "Isn't this going too far?"

  "Actually, Ji Shi's scores in liberal arts and science are about the same, he doesn't seem to have a stronger inclination towards either one. I think it's also good if he studies liberal arts, because if one day he suddenly wants to study hard, liberal arts is easier to catch up on, I've heard many science students didn't get into college in their third year of high school, but after switching to liberal arts during review they all got in."

  Qishu nodded in agreement, "Alright then, you also chose liberal arts, right? It's good that you can help him more in the future. I think he'll learn a thing or two from following you."

  Yu Cai hesitated for a moment before deciding to speak up, "I think Jixi, although not fond of studying, doesn't reject it either. Every time I teach him a lesson, he listens attentively, and when I ask him to do exercises, he never refuses."

  Qishu sighed, "Xie has been like this since he was young. He doesn't particularly like or dislike anything. Even his grandparents, who have always been with him, rarely see him show affection. You are the first person he has clearly shown a good impression of, which is why I've gone to great lengths to keep you by his side."

  Yu Cai couldn't think of getting such an answer, and was speechless for a moment. Qi Shu Fan smiled slightly, "Xiao Cai, actually I still hope you can accompany him during the summer vacation, but I won't force you. So, I'll leave in two days, take your time to consider it."

  Yu Cai knew that the prayer was just a clever fox spirit, but her heart was still struck by his faintly melancholic and warm smile, and she blurted out, "I'll go with you guys."

  Qishu's face lit up with joy as she took a few steps forward and grasped her shoulders, "Really? Xiaocai, thank you so much!"

  Yu Cai's words had just come out when she felt a little regretful, but the other party was already happily thanking her. What else could she do? Like this, Yu Cai fell into Ji Hu Li's trap once again.

  Qī shū fán zì rán jiāng yù cǎi de liǎn sè quán bù rù yǎn jiān, zhǐ dàng zuò méi kàn jiàn, xiào róng mǎn miàn dào, "xiǎo cǎi xià wǔ shì xiǎng chū qù wán hái shì zài jiā lǐ shàng shàng wǎng?"

  Translation:

  Qī Shū pretended not to see Yù Cǎi's gloomy face and smiled, "Little Cǎi, do you want to go out and play this afternoon or stay home and surf the internet?"

  Yu Cai hastily said, "You attend to your own business, don't bother with me."

  "Alright, I drove for a whole morning and I'm a bit tired. You can do whatever you want, if you need anything just go find Auntie."

  Yu Cai walked out of Qishu Fan's room, sat in the living room for a while, thinking that since she had already agreed, Qishu Fan's character could also be guaranteed, what was there to worry about? It was just as well that it was convenient at his house, and she didn't even need to buy a computer. She put her mind at ease and went to the study to open the computer, created a new Word document, and began her painful journey of typing squares.

  Just as Yu Cai was feeling dizzy and in pain, the phone rang. Seeing that neither Mr. Qi nor his son had come out of their room, and Auntie was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, she went to answer the phone.

  The phone is who called, asking if he wants to go out tonight, he also knows that Qi Shu Fan has returned, so he endured until now before calling.

  Yu Cai had no choice but to say that Ji Shi might be sleeping and would ask him to call back when he came out, He Qi agreed. Yu Cai continued to struggle with the annoying ABC input method, since it was something she had written before, although some modifications were needed, Yu Cai didn't need to think too much, it could be said that it was effortless. This outdated input method was unbearable for her, in the past it was just short stories, but now it's tens of millions of words, wuwu, I miss Sogou QQ so much!

  Qishu was woken up by the phone, looked at his watch and found it was almost time for dinner, so he got up. He saw Yucui sighing in the study and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

  Yu Cai Tou replied without turning his head, "I recall a great man once said that his pen couldn't keep up with the speed of his thoughts. If I were to borrow this phrase, would you criticize me for being too arrogant?"

  "What's wrong, you type very slowly?"

  "It's not that I type slowly, it's just that this input method is too outdated, okay?"

  Those who don't understand computers naturally have no right to express their opinions. Upon hearing this, they can only say, "It's almost time to eat, let's go out and rest for a while, after all, staring at the computer is bad for your eyes."

  Yu Cai stored the well-written document in her email, turned off the computer and followed Qi Shu Fan into the living room. After a while, dinner was ready, and Qi Shu Fan called out to Qi Shi Zhi. Yu Cai told him about He Qi's phone call, and Qi Shi Zhi returned a call.

  Yu Cai was still thinking about input methods and asked, "Ji Shi, do you know how to use Wubi input method?"

  Jiexi shook his head, and Yucai thought about it too. He just chatted with him, learned to do what, and thought about the complex five-stroke input method. Yucai's headache came back again. Speaking of Sogou, when did it appear? It was during her sophomore year that she saw classmates carrying around five-stroke input devices. She didn't buy her first computer until graduate school, so she had no idea what time it was now. Looking back, the lovely Sogou was developed at some point. Speaking of Sogou's principle, a character library is definitely needed, and there are words ranked by frequency...

  "Are you good at programming?"

  He nodded in response, perhaps feeling that his expression was insufficient, and added two words, "a bit".

  "Alas, if you could develop an input method software, you would definitely get rich."

  Qizhi didn't say a word, but Qishu Fan who was interested asked, "Input method software?"

  Yu Cai immediately listed the benefits of Sogou one by one, and Qi Shi's eyes flashed. He had tried to develop game software before, so he knew how important a good idea was. At this moment, Yu Cai said something that seemed like he hadn't heard it before...

  "After Yu Cai finished speaking, he concluded, 'If this software is made, it will definitely be a bestseller. At that time, we can apply for a patent and make money while sitting at home!'"

  Although Qi Shu Fan didn't quite understand, he was also a victim of the abc spelling method. He thought it was because he had just started learning and was a bit older, so his hands were clumsy, which is why he was slow. He didn't expect Yu Cai Xing to describe another world that he had never thought of before. His vision naturally surpassed Yu Cai's explanation, and he quickly discovered the business opportunity. He immediately agreed, "What Xiao Cai said is right, this kind of software will definitely be very popular once it's released, and it won't take long to become widespread."

  Qī Shì thought for a moment and suddenly said, "I can try," and stood up to call He Qi, asking him to come over as soon as possible.

  It wasn't long before he arrived, and Jiexi nodded slightly towards Yucai. Yucai was surprised to find that she had seen a wealth of information in his simple nod. She opened her mouth and repeated what she had just said, finally adding, "Jiexi wants you to try developing this kind of software with him, it's perfect for using up the summer vacation time." Of course, this last sentence was entirely her own conclusion.

  He is more optimistic by nature than Jie Shi, and also more easily excited. He was immediately enchanted by Yu Cai's words, quickly opened his computer to search if there were similar software available, and happily discovered that this idea was still very novel. At the time, he readily agreed, then suddenly remembered that he had to go to the city: "A Shi, I'm going to my mom's place for summer vacation, are you going to your dad's?"

  Ji Shi was taken aback, and Ji Shu suddenly spoke up, "A Shi, I just told Xiao Cai about it, and she happens to have plans for the summer vacation too. She wants to go to the city with me, why don't you come along? It'll be good for the three of you to discuss things together."

  Jiexi fell silent, and He Qi patted him on the shoulder. "Ashi, Yucai has left, what are you doing here alone? Two months will be boring, it's just right that we three can do something together. Once school starts, there won't be time anymore. Ah, thinking about it is exciting!"

  Ji Xizhe remained silent, and Yu Cai felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Thinking that Ji Xizhe had probably not refused outright because of her and He Qi's presence, she spoke up, "He Qi, actually I think there must be others who have thought of this point, but so far no one has done it, it should be very difficult, relying on the two of you to do it in just two months is impossible".

  He Qi felt insulted, "You look down on us?"

  "Nowhere, I just pointed out the fact, can't be blindly optimistic!"

  "I once developed a game software with A Shi, everyone who played it said it was good, and it only took us a month to complete."

  Yu Cai looked at him with some surprise and smiled, "You guys are not bad, I thought you only knew how to play games, didn't expect you to also make games".

  "That's natural, before that neither I nor A Shi had learned programming, but we still managed to do it, now even more so."

  "By the way, I also heard you can make animations, teach me sometime."

  He smiled proudly and replied, "Actually, I think Ah Shi is smarter than me. During that game, he solved many difficult levels, I just came up with a few fancy ideas."

  "In short, it's just that you and Qizhi complement each other's advantages, cooperate tacitly, and are like two peas in a pod!"

  He Qi laughed and said, "That's a vivid summary. Every time I go out with A Shi, he's the one who keeps a straight face to maintain the atmosphere, while I'm in charge of negotiating."

  Yu Cai pouted, "Hey, don't make it look like you guys are in cahoots with each other, okay?"

  He Qi looked at the prayer book and smiled awkwardly, Yu Cai suddenly remembered that there was a government official in front of him, and laughed, "Sorry, I forgot that there is a white-clothed public servant here, don't know if you two standing together are black and white not on good terms, or white plus black, treating the common cold, effective and quick?"

  He burst out laughing and said with a stroke of his chin, "Actually, I think it's like this: whether a cat is white or black, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat."

  "Comrade, your class stance is not clear at all. There's a suspicion that you're corrupting the flowers of our motherland. Please correct your revolutionary attitude!"

  Qī Shū Fán sù zhe liǎn,"Yángé zūn zhào shǒu zhǎng zhǐ shì, xiè shǒu zhǎng jiào xun!"

  Translation:

  Qi Shu Fan solemnly said with a straight face, "Strictly follow the leader's instructions, thank you for the leader's teachings!"

  Yu Cai solemnly said, "Serve the people!"

  "What's wrong with you, pulling Xiao Xi's arm and saying, 'Your dad and your cousin are hilarious when they talk, I want to move in with you, what are you doing alone here, come with us!'"

  "Alas, Master Fan Dao," said [he], "Yes, let him go. It's no fun for Xiaozai to be alone."

  Yu Cai gritted her teeth and wrote a letter, saying: "Really, you can be even more shameless."

  "Er, Xiao Cai, you also persuade Shixi."

  Yu Cai saw He Qi's letter and looked at herself, stiffening her scalp and saying, "Yes, Qi released it. You're alone here, and Tabo doesn't feel at ease either. He Qi is also bored on the other side."

  "Right! The key is we still have to work on that software together!"

  Ji Shi was very unaccustomed to being the focus of everyone's attention, and unnaturally twisted his neck. He immediately said, "A Shi nodded, A Shi, I told you, you're a fool for being alone here!"

  "Since it's all settled, let's just say we'll go over there tomorrow afternoon."

  Yu Cai: ……

  Actually, Qi Shu Fan, He Qi, you can be a bit more shameless...

  In such a situation, he naturally wouldn't loudly say that he wasn't going, and his temperament also wouldn't do something like that. Thus, it was only logical that he would be taken down by Ki Kitsune just like Utsugi Kiyotaka.
