"What name are you going to give me?" He looked at her with a half-smile.
Her eyes darted around. "Aoqian, what do you think? I like your arrogance, but I also hope you can learn to hide it. This name is complicated, but it suits you."
“Then I’ll give you a name too, how about it? Xuan Tian Divine Lord, you’ve already given me a name, so I’ll give you one too, so it’s fair.”
That kid has some nerve.
Anyone in the world who dares to name her must have eaten the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard.
"What name are you going to give me?" she asked, looking at him with amusement.
"Xiwei means the first light of dawn, the first glimmer of sunlight in the east. A name alone is not enough; you also need a surname. My mother's surname is Song. How about you take my mother's surname, Song, and be called Song Xiwei?"
Hearing the brat's arrogant words, she shook her head helplessly. "You brat, you're pushing your luck. You named me and even want me to take your mother's surname. Aren't you taking advantage of me? Have you forgotten that I live as long as the heavens? Not just anyone can take advantage of me. I'm afraid your mother doesn't have the destiny to handle this."
"She's dead..."
Hearing the boy's voice, which showed no emotion, she offered him some rare words of advice: "The death of the body is not the disappearance of the soul. She will come back to find you."
"Then, when we're alone in private, can I call you Song Xiwei?" he suddenly asked her.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" she asked, frowning.
He was like a newborn calf, fearless and uninhibited. In her presence, he showed none of the restraint or fear that others might have shown, which might have offended her.
He was always unconventional. "I like you, you know that, right?"
She sighed helplessly. This kid, he's already revealed his feelings?
"Many people admire me; you are just one among billions of beings. What? Do I know you or not? What's so special about that?"
“Of course. The difference between me and them is that I have the advantage of being close to the water, I can name you, and I can always be with you.” He said stubbornly.
"I never agreed to let you name me, and besides, you might not be able to stay with me forever. I live as long as the heavens..."
"So what? As long as I exist, I will love you every day!"
Interrupted by the young man, she said helplessly, "You've only been under my command for a short time, how come you like me? Do you even know what 'like' means? Can't you tell the difference?"
"It seems you remember nothing. You don't remember that we crossed paths once ten thousand years ago, when I was still in my mother's womb, and I heard your voice. Later, when I was born, you came to my birth ceremony, and I recognized your voice. After that, I kept an eye on you. I knew you were the most noble god, and I knew I was the son of the Heavenly Venerable, the heir to the Supreme Being of Heaven, and that you were his target. I knew from a very young age that although you seemed the most noble and omnipotent, many others had designs on you. I hated my birth, yet I was also grateful and fortunate that it allowed me to be by your side. Even if I were just a lowly guard under your command, I would be content. I only wanted to secretly like you and silently protect you."
"You call this sneaking around? You've already said you like me! If I said I didn't like you, would you be sad? Would you leave in a fit of anger?" she asked him with a half-smile.
The brat snorted arrogantly, "You wish! Ten thousand years ago, don't forget, it was you who tied the red string to my ring finger. Even through my mother, you had already betrothed me. Song Xiwei, you have to accept this name whether you like it or not. You have to take responsibility for me. From now on, I am your Aoqian."
When she opened her eyes again, it was wonderful. Song Xiwei had completely recovered her divine body, and that kid from back then, after so many years, would never again speak such arrogant words.
He had washed away the dark side of himself and was walking towards her step by step, extending his ring finger, the red thread wrapped around it faintly visible. His expression was like that of an abandoned puppy, looking at her with a wronged look, "Don't make me wait for you this long next time, Song Xiwei!"
She smiled and reached out to pinch his cheek; it still felt so nice to pinch. "Okay, Aoqian."
-----The End------
