Lin Tongxi nodded and finally agreed to take in the little beggar and return him to his habitat.
The little beggar's feelings were sincere when he was paying homage to the mute old beggar, and it didn't seem fake. This was why Lin Tongxi was willing to accept him.
If he is an ungrateful person, then even with the power of the system, Lin Tongxi still needs to think about it. He cannot lose the big picture for the sake of small gains.
"By the way..." Lin Tongxi was about to call him little beggar, but he found out how to address him. He couldn't just call him little beggar.
At least find a code name, otherwise it will be difficult to call you on a daily basis.
Generally speaking, nicknames will have prefixes such as "xiao" or "a".
But what should this prefix be paired with?
Chen Yunxuan is Lin Chenxuan, who took the name "Lin" from his own name.
Su Ruoxue is Su Xichen, who took her own name "Xi".
"How about calling me Xiaotong?" Su Ruoxue blurted out, obviously bringing up Lin Tongxi's name again.
"Uh... that's not good. Why do you always pick on me? And the name Xiaotong... Xiaotong... sounds like a girl. We're not adopting a younger sister, are we?"
Lin Tongxi looked at Chen Yunxuan and Yue Lingyun, asking what they meant.
Yue Lingyun shook his head, indicating that he had no talent for naming.
Chen Yunxuan thought about it but couldn't come up with an idea, so he left it to Lin Tongxi to decide.
Lin Tongxi glanced at his phone and found that today was the 9th.
How about your nickname be Xiaojiu?
He looked at the other four people and asked for their opinions.
"Xiaojiu... seems to be okay."
"Yue has no objection."
"Nine means the largest odd number, which is the extreme yang. In ancient Chinese, it means majority, representing infinity, and has a good meaning." Chen Yunxuan interpreted this number.
Lin Tongxi thought about it and felt that in terms of numbers, "nine" was indeed more suitable for a name. Names like "Xiao San"... didn't sound very good.
Of course, the most important thing is what the person involved thinks. The little beggar nodded and thought the name was good.
"Okay, then we will call you Xiaojiu from now on." Lin Tongxi immediately announced the conclusion, and at the same time thought about how to come up with a proper name based on this nickname.
The first and most important thing is naturally the surname... Chen Yunxuan asked Xiaojiu about his parents' surnames, but the other party couldn't remember anything about the past.
How about choosing Song? After all, the Song Mansion had taken him in before, but if he used this as his surname, it would probably constantly remind him of his past, which would be detrimental to Xiaojiu's future growth.
Or you can choose a surname from among the four adults, pick any one from Lin, Chen, Su, or Yue.
I can't just keep using the last name Lin, right? With so many people named Lin, it'll easily lead to misunderstandings.
Or let Xiaojiu take Su Ruoxue's last name? Then he could say he was the son of a miracle doctor... No, I'm afraid this wouldn't pass muster.
"Brother Yue, let Xiaojiu take your surname?" Lin Tongxi looked at Yue Lingyun, but the latter waved his hand to refuse, saying that it would be easy for them to be misunderstood as brothers.
If people's opinions differ at that time, it will cause unnecessary trouble.
In this case, we must find another surname, or follow Li Changhe or Zhao Deshan? Then we can say that we are from Qingshi Village.
Just when everyone was discussing what surname to choose, the little snake Xiaobai came out.
"Brother Su, what is this...?" It was the first time that Yue Lingyun saw the snake appearing on Su Xichen's body, and he asked curiously.
In response to this question, Su Ruoxue said that this was his pet and was named after its color.
"How about... just use the surname Bai?" Speaking of the surname Bai, Lin Tongxi thought of a TV series in which a character also had the surname Bai, and later on he also gradually left the path of thieves and walked on the right path.
Xiaojiu's stealing skills are also superb, which is just right for this role.
When mentioning this surname, Chen Yunxuan further explained the characters: "Bai means bright and pure. It can correspond to the Xi in Brother Tongxi, the Chen in Brother Xichen, the Chen in Zaixia, and the Yun in Brother Yue. It is a good choice."
"Haha, Brother Chenxuan is indeed very knowledgeable. I think the surname Bai is quite good."
"Hehe, then let's use the surname Bai. Xiaobai will be happy to have another relative." Su Ruoxue said as she fed Xiaobai the medicine, and the latter did not feel any resistance to it.
As for Xiaojiu, he had no objection to this surname.
Since it was the first time for them to take someone in, the four of them were all excited and started calling him Xiaojiu. After all, they would be living together day and night in the future.
Bai... Jiu, it sounds like white wine, what name should I give it?
Lin Tongxi wanted to be cool, handsome, and have the intention to encourage good deeds.
Nine... blame... Bai Wujiu?
He said the name, and after some discussion, they finally decided on the full name Xiaojiu.
At this moment, the information in the team section was also updated, and Xiaojiu's name changed from the previous "Little Beggar" to "Bai Wujiu".
"Xiaojiu, the past is over, and we are a family from now on. I gave you this name because I hope you will make the right choices in the future and not be bound by past mistakes." Lin Tongxi said as he patted Xiaojiu's head.
Xiaojiu was also happy for the first time that he had a formal name. From now on, he was no longer the little beggar who was bullied by others, but Bai Wujiu who could hold his head high with dignity.
"Well, thank you, benefactor!" Xiaojiu responded excitedly.
"Uh... We are all family, it's too polite to call us benefactor. How about this, you can just call us brothers." Lin Tongxi scratched his head, feeling that the other party was really polite.
"Okay! Brother Tongxi, Brother Chenxuan, Brother Xichen, Brother Lingyun!" Xiaojiu looked at them one by one and shouted.
"Okay, be good!" Su Ruoxue patted her head. Although Xiaojiu should actually call her sister, after thinking about it, she decided not to reveal her true identity for the time being.
