I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father Chapter 64: "Gu" as in Gu Shao and "Xi" as in Zhenxi (cheris

After taking the form from the cop sister and looking at the field that said Na, Lin Xi paused a little, bit her lower lip, said nothing but turned to look at Gu Shao. There were inquiry and a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Under Lin Xis nervous and anticipating look, Gu Shao said, Yes, we will change it.

We will be changing the surna to Gu, said Gu Shao.

Lin Xi smiled when she heard that. She couldnt even hold back her happiness.

Okay!

Thanks, Dad. Having said that, Lin Xi picked up the pen on the table and quickly started to fill out the form. She scribbled very fast as though she worried that Gu Shao might regret at any given mont.

She wrote down Gu Xi in the na field and was particularly attentive with each and every stroke.

Im done! Lin Xi handed the form over to the little cop sister.

At that very mont, Gu Shao took the form from her, picked up the pen, and added the heart character () next to Xi.

Gu Xi. (T/N: Pronunciation of the two characters were identical.)

Gu as in Gu Shao.

But Xi was no longer Xi as in milkshake but Xi as in cherish.

Lin Xis eyes widened and she looked over at Gu Shao in disbelief. She saw that Gu Shao had already turned the form over to the cop who was responsible for the registration.

Over on the other side, the cop, seemingly infected by the pleasantly surprised look from Lin Xi, smiled and said Alright, so Gu Xi then?

Mmm mmm, said Lin Xi, er, Gu Xi, with a nod.

Okay, please confirm this for . The little cop sister printed out a receipt for Gu Shao and Gu Xi.

On it was all of Lin Xis personal information from the past.

It included all the nas that she had used before. There were two nas in that field.

One was Lin Xi, and the other one was Zhang Laidi. That must have been the na that Zhang Youfu had picked for her when they transferred her household register over. (T/N: Laidi = Co, little brother.)

One could tell just from the na alone how desperately the family wanted to have another son.

Gu Xi frowned.

Reflexively, she tried to scratch at it with her fingernail. Pouting, she turned to look at Gu Shao.

I dont want this one

Not only did the na had a bad connotation, it was represented a bad mory of hers.

The thought that this past used na would follow her for the rest of her life: When she applied to college, past used na: Zhang Laidi would be listed; when she underwent qualification review, past used na: Zhang Laidi; when she went to get her passport, past na used: Zhang Laidi would be under her personal information that upset Gu Xi a lot.

This was the very first ti that Gu Xi had definitively expressed I dont like it in front of Gu Shao. Capturing Gu Xis pleading look, Gu Shao, too, looked over at the na Zhang Laidi and frowned.

He turned to the household register cop and said, Her household register had been transferred over to a family in the village without the knowledge of neither one of us. This was the na that was added at the ti. I had included this situation in the information that I had provided.

After listening to Gu Shaos explanation, the household register cop looked upset and frowned as well. Transferring out soones household register without their knowledge could also be classified as kidnapping in so respect!

She couldnt believe sothing like this was still happening from ti to ti in this day and age!

If thats the case, this does not make sense and it should not be listed as a past used na. I will remove it right away, said the household register cop and imdiately deleted the na.

Seeing the na Zhang Laide disappearing completely from her personal record, Gu Xi let out a sigh of relief.

What she didnt know what that Gu Shao had, later on, pulled so other strings and had Lin Xi removed from her record completely as well.
