Chapter 400: Chapter 386: Pei Yi (Two-in-One Chapter)

Zhang Min’s voice, brimming with extreme excitement, continued to come through the phone, "I think Guaibao will definitely be a particularly thoughtful child. By the way, ’Guaibao’ is your son’s nickname, your mother-in-law started calling him that, and everyone thought it was so fitting that they just went along with it and eventually it became his official nickname."

"As for his formal name, that’s for you to decide when you come back and discuss it with Xiaoyun. Your grandfather and I think that you young couple should name him whatever you like, and it’s up to you whether or not it follows the family’s generational ranking, we old folks won’t interfere."

Guaibao?

Upon hearing this nickname, Shitou’s forehead was lined with black marks. It was a tradition in his family to call relatives by their nicknames, just as he had been called Shitou until now. Just thinking about his son, when he’s grown up, standing there and being called "Guaibao," he couldn’t help but shiver.

This was simply too horrifying. The son is his own flesh and blood; he couldn’t let his family set him up like this.

He couldn’t help but say to Zhang Min, "Grandma, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for a boy to be called Guaibao? Why don’t we change it to something else, isn’t it said that humble names make life easier? Even calling him Big Mountain, Little Tree, or Little Grass would be better than Guaibao, right?"

"Why on earth can’t a boy be called Guaibao? The thing about humble names making life easier comes from the old days when living conditions were tough, and the nutrition of mothers couldn’t keep up, which led to low survival rates for newborns. This was just a way to find some psychological comfort. Nowadays, what child still gets stuck with a humble name to weigh them down?

I think Guaibao is quite nice. Not only do I think so, but your wife, your father-in-law and mother-in-law, your wife’s grandparents, and your grandfather and your second uncle all think it’s great. It’s pleasant to the ear and sounds good. Why is it that only you think it’s not good and seem to have such a big opinion on it?" Zhang Min said, instantly displeased at his reaction.

"If you all think it’s good, how dare I have a big opinion?" That hat was too big. Shitou’s smile was bitter, feeling like he couldn’t stand it, and his voice suddenly grew weaker and he capitulated lamely.

"No objections are best, it’s settled then."

Zhang Min’s voice conveyed the satisfied tone of someone acknowledging his sense, "What Big Mountain, Little Tree, Little Grass... What kind of aesthetic is that? So earthy it’s falling apart. Hmph. I don’t even want to talk about you anymore. With your standards, I think it’s best to leave the decision of the formal name to Xiaoyun alone; I wouldn’t dare trust you with it. Oh, look at the time, I need to hurry up and make noodles for Xiaoyun, I’m hanging up now if there’s nothing else."

"..."

Was he just scorned?

Shitou held the buzzing receiver speechless for a moment. Guaibao, your dad tried to fight for you, but it’s hard to win against the whole family. At least I tried on your behalf, even if I didn’t succeed, but when you grow up, you can’t blame me.

As for everyone else, your mom, your grandfather, grandmother, great-grandfather, great-grandmother... you might as well not think about blaming them. If you’re going to blame anyone, you can only blame yourself for being too outstanding--

Even using the quickest speed to deal with the handovers and finish things up, by the time Shitou returned to the home in Capital City, it had already been three days.

The home that Lu Yun and Shitou shared in Capital City was not referring to the neighborhood where the Pei Family lived. Although their wedding house was set up in the Pei family’s place, after the wedding, the two of them insisted on setting up another home for themselves in Capital City despite the objections of Zhang Min and Pei Qingyuan.

The house, an excellently located and not-so-small duplex apartment, was built by Lu Group in the early days and caught Lu Yun’s eye.

At that time, Lu Yun, with the idea of keeping some personal space for herself, had already had the house decorated to her tastes. Now, after letting it sit for several years, it was ready for them to move right in.

That was where Lu Yun had stayed when she returned to Capital City for her prenatal care.

"Have you gone to see our son?"

Feeling a familiar presence, Lu Yun opened her eyes and saw Shitou close at hand.

"I have. He’s red, wrinkled, but grandma and the others are saying he’ll grow up to be extremely fair-skinned."

Shitou took off his shoes and jacket, climbed onto the bed, and wrapped his arms around Lu Yun, frowning slightly in dissatisfaction. Describing a boy as fair-skinned, in his eyes, was no different than saying sissy?

"We’ll have to make sure he exercises from a young age and gets plenty of sun. How can a boy, so clean and fair, be of any good? He decided right then and there that his son would never be categorized as fair-skinned. Aren’t men supposed to have a healthier, tanned complexion? All those fair-skinned ones are wimps. How could his son possibly be a wimp?"
