Jin Yu was in a hurry, eager for the grand banquet a month later.
Su Chen could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his sparkling eyes, but she pretended not to know.
Looking into his son's phoenix eyes, he understood that the boy would most likely look like his father.
"Come on, call me Daddy," Su Chen coaxed the little boy.
Unexpectedly, the little brat actually called out in a fuzzy voice, "Papa."
Su Chen was delighted. It seemed that he hadn't been completely idle during the five years he had been in her womb.
"It's not that I'm afraid of Dad, it's that I'm afraid of my dad."
"dad."
That sweet, childlike voice was so adorable it made your heart bleed.
Su Chen couldn't help but kiss his little face again.
Jin Yu, who was standing to the side, was also somewhat moved and, for the first time ever, looked up at the boy.
Su Chen handed the swaddled baby directly to him, "Here, your son is calling you, hold him for a while."
Jin Yu stood with her spine ramrod straight, her arms still as she "hugged" her son.
Su Chen got up, took a sip of water, and came back to see Jin Yu standing there, frozen in place.
"Can you stop acting like a puppet?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Yu gently adjusted her arm and then remained petrified.
Su Chen chuckled. "Alright, just hold him like that. If he cries, remember to comfort him."
"How do I coax her?" Jin Yu asked, looking completely bewildered.
Su Chen: "Yeah, it's just swaying back and forth and humming nursery rhymes or something."
"Oh." Jin Yu watched as the little one in her arms returned to a state of not daring to move.
The little one in his arms gave him a sense of unreality, as if the child were made of snow or jade, with skin so soft it seemed to melt at the slightest touch.
Su Chen reminded him, "We should think about what to name this child."
Jin Yu: "Jin Yuechen".
"How did you answer so quickly? Did you already have this in mind?" Su Chen tapped his nose.
"Um."
What is the middle character?
"The 'yue' in 'xinyue' (心悦, meaning 'heart's joy')."
"Jin Yuechen, Jin Yuechen..." Su Chen repeated several times as she walked with her hands behind her back.
"This name can be used by both men and women, which is great."
Jin Yu looked up, her gaze tender, and asked, "Don't you know what this name means?"
Su Chen's eyes flashed. "I don't know."
Jin Yu looked at her amusedly, "You really don't know?"
"I don't know," Su Chen said, stubbornly insisting on her word.
But eventually, a flush crept onto her cheeks.
Jin Yuechen, Jin Yuechen...
Jin Yu Xin Yue... Su Chen.
Su Chen said coquettishly, "We're an old married couple, and you still do this to me."
Jin Yu feigned ignorance and said, "Oh? What's going on? Aren't we talking about the child's name right now?"
“I see… In that case, I feel the middle character should be changed. Wouldn’t it look more elegant to change it to the character for moon?” Su Chen turned her back and laughed heartily.
Jin Yu adjusted herself, holding the child in one arm and gripping Su Chen's wrist with the other.
He said, "No."
Jin Yu couldn't see her face, so Su Chen's laughter became even more rampant, but her voice remained completely hidden.
She asked, "Why not?"
Jin Yu: "The dust of the Moon's Lament is an ominous sign."
Su Chen's eyes widened immediately upon hearing his words. "Who said it was Yue Shang? Pah! Pah! Pah! Quick, touch the wood!"
"So let's still call it 'Yue' from 'Xin Yue' (心悦)."
"There is a beautiful woman named Chen, whom I adore."
Jin Yu's voice was deep and gentle; those words almost drowned her.
"Alright, stop with the sour grapes." Although Su Chen said this, she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.
