Chapter 65 Why this name?
"Ahri!"
“…Stop yelling.”
"Ahri Ahri Ahri Ahri."
Qi Huaijing's scalp tingled when he heard this, but Chen Tang couldn't stop laughing.
"I asked her why she didn't call him Ah Hu. She said she wanted to call him Hu or Long, but someone told her that if the name was too majestic, the child would be weak. She just happened to hear the story of the fox borrowing the power of the tiger, and she thought that the fox could borrow the power of the tiger and be very majestic. Calling him Ah Hu didn't sound like that, so calling him Ah Li was just right..."
Qi Huaijing couldn't bear it anymore and raised his hand to cover her mouth.
"Don't yell anymore."
Shen Tang nodded obediently, and as soon as he let go of her hand, she immediately asked again.
"Why not? It sounds nice! My wife feels sorry for such a nice name, but because you strictly forbade it, no one knows it exists now."
Qi Huaijing glanced at her sideways.
"Do you really think it sounds nice?"
Shen Tang nodded with a smile.
"It sounds nice, Ahri, it sounds like my little sister's name! I can tell she's a pretty girl!"
“…”
Qi Huaijing didn't want to respond to her, so he simply pulled the quilt over him and went to sleep.
Chen Tang suppressed his evil smile again and moved closer to him.
"...It looks like a cat, too. It must be much prettier than the one we have."
Qi Huaijing glanced back at her and saw that she was laughing so hard that she was pounding the bed. He decisively turned over and caught her under the quilt. He reached out his hand to tickle her and took off her clothes while she was in chaos...
That night.
"Tangtang, do you like this... huh? Say it."
"I like it...be gentle...be gentle, Ahri..."
"Don't yell like that!"
The next day, Qi Huaijing woke Chen Tang up as soon as it was daybreak.
"Here, I thought of a nickname for you."
Chen Tang went to bed late last night and didn't expect him to wake up so early. He rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"What...what nickname? Tell me."
"Azhu."
Chen Tang lost all sleepiness when he heard it.
"Cousin! You can't call me Ah Zhu just because I called you Ah Li! There's a huge difference between a fox and a pig!"
"…the pearl of pearls! The pearl of the bright pearl in the palm of your hand!"
"Oh...why is it called that?"
"Pearl, pink and white, warm and bright, so much like you."
"Then why not call her Zhen?"
"…If you want to call me Zhen, that's not impossible…"
Chen Tang shook his head like a rattle.
"No, no, no, no! I don't want it. Ah Zhen, Ah Zhu, don't even scream, it's so corny."
Qi Huaijing held her head carefully, put her long black hair behind her shoulders, and kissed her cheeks which were flushed from just waking up.
"It's just a nickname. No one else knows it, so I just call it in bed..."
"That means I also called you in bed...Ahri?"
"no!"
Shen Tang yawned and fell back onto the pillow.
"Then you are not allowed to call me random names, just like before, call me Tang'er, Tangtang, or my wife...you can also call me cousin."
"I won't. I want to be called Ah Zhu."
"I! Also! I! Want! To! Say! No! I want to be called A! Li!"
"…It doesn't matter. I'll leave you no time to scream."
"you!"
Qi Huaijing tilted his head to the side, pinched her cheek hard, and smiled mischievously.
"What's wrong with me, Ah Zhu, tell your husband, what's wrong with your husband? Hmm?"
"I don't care, I don't listen, I don't deserve this name."
"Azhu, Azhu, Azhu, Azhu~"
“…Ahri Ahri Ahri Ahri!”
"Well, what do you want me to do?"
Shen Tang was arguing vigorously, and was a little surprised to see him suddenly agree.
"Hmm? Aren't you...not going to let me scream?"
"The more I tell you not to scream, the more you insist on screaming. I let you scream, but you will forget about it in two days."
"...Then you can yell too, you will forget it too!"
"Okay, sister Azhu, come here and let your brother kiss you."
"You! Ahri you are such a scoundrel!"
"Then my Ah Zhu, let the rogue brother Ah Li kiss you!"
"……snort!"
Seeing that Chen Tang had nothing to say, Qi Huaijing pinched her face and kissed her, then lay comfortably on the pillow, feeling very proud.
He stayed up all night before coming up with this great name.
A beautiful jade in the arms and a pearl in the palm, they look like a perfect match at first glance, a match made in heaven!
He was proud of himself for several days.
Until he found out that Chen Tang was going to give this name to Mao'er.
Qi Huaijing was extremely dissatisfied.
"Why is such an ugly cat called Ah Zhu? It has nothing to do with pearls."
Chen Tang held the cat in his arms and showed Qi Huaijing the sparse yellow hair that had just grown on the cat's tail.
"It's a little girl! Zhu and Bao'er sound nice and easy to call. It's pitiful. No one wanted it when it was born. We need to give it a good name to cheer it up so that it can be safe and smooth in the future."
Qi Huaijing refused. He didn't want to be a perfect match with the ugly cat!
"Let's call it Bao'er - although it doesn't deserve it."
"No, my cousin from my aunt's family is nicknamed Bao'er, it's awkward to call him that."
"Then let my cousin change his name."
"...Qi Huaijing! Do you have..."
"Tsk, Ah Zhu, why are you in such a hurry? Just take your time and tell me what's going on."
"Ahri~Are you...uh."
The couple argued for a long time about the name, but finally they both gave in and decided to call it...
Azhen.
Qi Huaijing sighed and pulled the newly grown cat's tail hair.
"It's up to you, as long as you don't call me Ah Zhu - only you can be called Ah Zhu."
Chen Tang cried out “Ouch” and slapped his hand away.
"It took so much effort to grow them out, don't pull them off again!"
She held the cat farther away, combed its hair carefully, and slowly began to laugh.
"That's fine, from now on, our Ah Zhen has a name!"
A few days later, Feng Xi came to see the patient he had treated last time, and he really stopped by Wutong Garden on the way to ask for a cup of hot tea.
When Chen Tang saw her coming, he immediately picked up the cat, showed her its newly grown tail hair, and told her the cat's new name.
"We named it Azhen."
After hearing this, Feng Xi's expression became somewhat subtle.
"Ah Zhen? Why did you choose this name?"
The story was too long, so Chen Tang didn't want to start from Qi Huaijing's nickname, so he cut off the beginning and the end and only told half of it.
"Because the pearl is round and hard, and the cat is too thin, I want it to be fatter and stronger."
Feng Xi held the hot tea and smiled.
"Your family is really... If it were Lidong and I, we would probably call it Ah Huang. Ah, I already have Ah Huang at home, so let's call it Xiao Huang."
Chen Tang smiled: "Fortunately we didn't call it that, otherwise it would be a duplicate name."
Feng Xi finished his tea, touched the cat's slightly bulging belly, and couldn't help but say something.
"A male cat, should I really call him Zhen?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Tang suddenly choked on the hot tea.
"Ahem! No, it's a female cat."
Feng Xi frowned and spoke in a very determined tone.
"It's a tomcat."
Shen Tang's tone was also very certain.
"She-cat."
"Tomcat."
"But it doesn't have...it doesn't have that..."
Chen Tang and Feng Xi were both married women, but there were two or three maids standing around them, all of whom were still young girls. She didn't know what to say for a moment.
It’s not easy to gesture!
Seeing that neither talking nor gesturing was working, Chen Tang had no choice but to turn the cat's belly over to show her.
"Look, it doesn't..."
Feng Xi looked at it and nodded.
"It really doesn't, but it's a tom."
