In the morning, not long after Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng left, Teacher Chen came to the South City Villa.
As she walked through the villa's gate, she looked up and saw the two babies driving their new gifts and playing in the yard. Aunt Zhang and the bodyguards were watching over them.
In the sunlight, the two babies' smiles were so bright and infectious that she couldn't help but smile too.
When the two babies saw her from afar, they drove their cars over in a hurry and circled around her.
"Teacher Chen, you're here! Look, this is the gift Daddy gave us. Isn't it nice? This car can even talk to me! Alpha, can you say hello to Teacher Chen?"
Then, the car under Yuan Xiaoxuan made a sound: "Yes, my little master. Hello, dear Teacher Chen. I'm Xuanxuan's intelligent companion system. My name is Alpha. Nice to meet you."
The shocked expression on Teacher Chen's face made the two babies extremely satisfied. Yuan Xiaoxu said, "Daddy said this is a one - of - a - kind gift!"
Teacher Chen came back to her senses and smiled. "That's great. Your daddy really loves you. This is a very, very thoughtful gift."
After Teacher Chen finished teaching the two babies, the babies pestered her again and said one after another, "Teacher Chen, Mommy said she's going to register our household! She also said that from now on, we'll be just like other little babies and have our own ID numbers!"
This was even more of a pleasant surprise to Teacher Chen than the toy cars. "Really? That's great news!"
"Teacher Chen, our mommy doesn't go by Yuan Xi anymore. Her name is Xu Zixi now. Mommy said that Daddy's last name is Yan, hers is Xu, and ours is Yuan. It doesn't sound like we're a family. So she asked us to come up with our own names. She also said we could ask Teacher Chen for help!"
Yuan Xiaoxuan clearly recounted what Xu Zixi had said that night, making Teacher Chen immediately understand her intention.
Sitting down on the chair, Teacher Chen said seriously, "Your mommy is right. Different last names do make it sound like you're not a family. But actually, it's not a big deal. After all, it's just what outsiders think. As long as you want, you don't have to change your names. I'm sure your mommy won't mind if you still use your old names."
After saying that, she paused to give the two babies some time to think independently. After they had digested her words, she continued, "So, what do you two think? Do you want to take Mommy's last name or Daddy's?"
These two kids were very smart, the smartest ones Teacher Chen had ever met. She understood Xu Zixi's intention of letting the kids name themselves, so she was trying to guide them to think about things related to themselves.
Sure enough, after she finished speaking, the two kids started talking on their own.
Yuan Xiaoxuan said seriously, "I want to take Mommy's last name Xu. Because Mommy's name was given by the Goddess of Mercy. I want to be the same as Mommy!"
Yuan Xiaoxu was a bit hesitant. "I also want to take Mommy's last name Xu, but... but..."
Teacher Chen encouraged him, "You can say whatever you're thinking, Xuxu."
"But Daddy is so amazing. I also want to be as amazing as Daddy!" His eyes were shining with admiration and affection for his powerful father. "If big brother takes Mommy's last name, then I'll take Daddy's."
Suddenly, an idea popped into his clever little head. He turned to ask Yuan Xiaoxuan, "Big brother, we can come up with one with Daddy's last name and one with Mommy's. Then we can use them alternately! Mommy has two names too!"
Yuan Xiaoxuan's eyes lit up. "That's right!"
Teacher Chen's lips twitched. Although what you said makes sense, do you know that you'll probably get blacklisted by the Civil Affairs Department sooner or later!
Having decided on their last names, the two babies were now troubled about their given names. With big questions in their little heads, they had no choice but to bother... no, to ask Teacher Chen for help again.
Teacher Chen explained to them in detail, "Many parents will put their expectations and hopes for their babies in their names when naming them."
"For example, the character 'Xuan' in your name, by itself in the dictionary, only means height, vehicle, or window. But when combined with other words, it has a very good meaning. For example, 'qi yu xuan ang' means being as tall and handsome as your daddy!"
The two babies listened very attentively. Yuan Xiaoxu, realizing that his big brother's name had such a good meaning, anxiously tugged at Teacher Chen's hand. "What about me? What about me?"
"The character 'Xu' in your name describes you as vivid, lively, spiritual, and cute!" Teacher Chen pinched his little nose and smiled.
Finally, she praised them, "Your mommy is very good at naming. The names match your personalities very well. So do you like these characters?"
The two babies nodded vigorously. "Yes, we do!"
"Then my suggestion is that you can just change the middle character. As for how to choose this character, I'll give you three directions."
"First, this character can represent the kind of person you want to be in the future. Second, this character can be your favorite color, number, or a character from your favorite poem. Third, as long as it looks good and sounds nice, you can use it. You two think it over carefully and tell me your answers. Then I'll help you choose."
The two babies frowned and thought hard. Finally, Yuan Xiaoxuan was the first to make a decision. "I... I want to be a doctor in the future. I want to treat a lot of people and make them see the Goddess of Mercy later."
After having a deep talk with Xu Zixi last night, he was even more determined to study medicine when he grew up.
Yuan Xiaoxu said, "Xuxu wants to be a person with a lot of money! Then I can buy a lot of delicious food and make Mommy and Daddy not go to work and stay at home to play with Xuxu!"
What a simple and unadorned life aspiration! Who doesn't want to be a rich person who doesn't have to go out to work and can stay at home all day? Even Teacher Chen wants to! That's why she's still working as a tutor for these two three - year - old kids at her age!
Finally, based on the two babies' future career plans, Teacher Chen helped them choose their names.
It was easy to choose for Yuan Xiaoxuan. Since he wanted to be a doctor, the middle character was "Yi", a homophone of "doctor". Whether it was Xu Yixuan or Yan Yixuan, it sounded very smooth.
As for Yuan Xiaoxu...
"The character 'Jin' means having a lot of money," Teacher Chen said.
Yuan Xiaoxu immediately pointed to the character "Xin" beside it and said, "This character has three 'Jin's, which means there must be a whole lot of money! I... I want this one!"
Well... Yan Xinxu, Xu Xinxu. As long as you're happy!
