The immortal of the Tang Dynasty, but the game starts at Xuanwu Gate?

"Ugh, they just won't let us have a moment's peace."

Seven more days passed. In the afternoon, Chen Huai'an finished his training and finally had some time to rest. He leisurely lay on the chair, humming a little tune.

"Uncle, who's giving you a hard time?"

"You look so unhappy. What happened? Tell me so I can cheer you up."

Xiao He appeared out of nowhere and peeked out from beside him, asking a question.

Chen Huai'an turned his head and met the little guy's slightly excited gaze.

Aren't you excited?

Chen Huai'an has been coming home quite late lately, and once he gets home, even if he has time, he goes to exercise, so he has no time to spend with her.

Xiaohe didn't mean to bother Chen Huai'an; she just liked to stick close to him.

Being with my uncle, even if I don't do anything, I feel very at ease just lying there.

Chen Huai'an pondered for a moment and said, "I remember that many young ladies from wealthy families in Chang'an City have nicknames. As my niece, it's really not right that you've grown up without a nickname."

"How about I give you a nickname?" "A pet name?" Xiao He was taken aback, then exclaimed happily, "Really?"

"How could it be fake?" Chen Huai'an raised an eyebrow. "When has your uncle ever lied to you?"

"No, no!" Xiao He scrambled up to him, lay down next to him, and rubbed against his shoulder, clinging to his arm. "I knew Uncle was the best!"

"This place is good, that place is good, everything is good!"

"My uncle is the best in the world!"

After saying that, the little guy said nervously, "Uncle, you must give me a good nickname!"

"I once asked Xiuya why my name is Xiaohe, and Xiuya actually said that she originally wanted to call me Chen Caoer, saying that grass is strong and can grow out of the cracks even when it is pressed down by a boulder."

"Later, I felt it wasn't good, so I changed it to Chen He."

The little guy couldn't help but complain: "I really suffered because Xiuya didn't study. Her name is Chen Sujin, such a nice name, but I'm just a weed."

Chen Huai'an: "..."

Xiao He kept complaining, leaving Chen Huai'an stunned. Only now did he understand where Xiao He's name came from.

No wonder the little guy complained; it was indeed a bit too casual. "Uncle..." Xiao He looked at him with wide eyes, her face full of expectation.

Chen Huai'an pondered for a moment and said, "How about we name her Xiulian?"

"Anyway, you keep calling me 'Xiuya,' which perfectly matches the name 'Xiuya,' doesn't it? People who don't know the context might think you're sisters just by hearing those names, isn't that great?"

"From now on, you don't need to call her 'Mother' anymore. Just call her 'Sister Xiuya.' That way, your seniority will be higher, won't it?"

Xiao He: "......"

Xiulian has seen a ghost!

She was all so hopeful, building up her emotional value, and then they gave her this kind of name.

Calling her Xiulian is worse than not calling her at all!

Xiao He's face flushed red instantly, and she angrily exclaimed, "What kind of weird name is Xiulian? I don't want to be called that!"

"Also, now that Mother and I have become sisters, doesn't that mean I'll become your younger sister? From now on, I'll call you Second Brother, right?"

"It's not that it's impossible," Chen Huai'an said, spreading his hands. "Anyway, I don't care. You can call her whatever you want, as long as you dare to call her 'Mother' or 'Big Sister'."

"I have no objections." Xiao He's face turned pale and then red.

Sending her to call for Sister Chen Sujin is worse than just letting her die; at least that would be a quick death.

If she dares to scream, her ass will be spanked.

After a long pause, Xiao He deflated and said weakly, "Uncle, please think about it carefully."

"If it really doesn't work out, then let's just forget about it. I think Xiaohe is pretty good too."

Chen Huai'an said lazily, "Actually, this name is very good. It sounds quite powerful. If you don't want it, then there's nothing I can do about it."

Xiao He was stunned for a long time before she gradually understood.

It turns out that Chen Huai'an had been laying the groundwork for a long time, saying that many young ladies from wealthy families in Chang'an City had nicknames, and that he would give her one too, but it was all a lie.

Chen Huai'an meant from the very beginning that she deserved to be beaten!

Xiao He opened her mouth, then burst into fury: "You even lied to a child as young as me! Do you have any conscience? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"I'm not going to be friends with you anymore."

"I'm going to tell Sister Qiao'er!" Xiao He bared her teeth in anger, and finally, she angrily swung her little braids and slid off the chair.

Then he ran off to the front yard.

But after running only a couple of steps, she stopped again, hands on her hips, chin tilted back: "You're not the best in the world anymore, you're the second best!"

Chen Huai'an's lips curled up slightly: "Oh? Then who is the best in the world?"

"Of course, it's the old you!" Xiao He said proudly.

Chen Huai'an almost burst out laughing: "Isn't that still me?"

"The past is the past, and the present is the present. You used to be number one in the world, but now you're number two. Do you even understand that?" Xiao He puffed out her cheeks.

"I understand, how could I not understand? I'm second in the world now," Chen Huai'an said, unable to suppress a laugh.

"Good to know." Seemingly satisfied with the answer, Xiao He became happy again, swaying her head as she walked back, nudging him with her little bottom to signal him to move aside.

Chen Huai'an chuckled, moved to the side, and lay down on the chair with Xiao He, squinting his eyes and pretending to doze off.

"Stealing half a day of leisure from a busy life..."

"Xiao He, let's take a nap..." As they dozed off, the two of them, one big and one small, gradually fell asleep on the chairs in the backyard.

When Feng Qiao'er came over and saw that the two were asleep, she didn't disturb them. Instead, she lit mosquito repellent incense for them and gently fanned them.

The weather in July was still quite hot. Chen Huai'an acted as if nothing was wrong, but Xiao He's forehead was gradually covered in sweat.

Feng Qiao'er gazed absently at the two sleeping figures, her mind drifting to thoughts of what might happen to her in the near future...

No, not maybe, definitely.

She will definitely have a child with Chen Huai'an, and then in his spare time, he will take the child for a nap while she keeps the mosquitoes away and fans the room.

If it were autumn, she might cover them with a silk quilt, worried that they might catch a cold.

Feng Qiao'er thought to herself that from now on she would take care of the children and the family, and if Chen Huai'an had time, she would ask him to teach the children to read.

If you are not available, please ask two good teachers to teach you.

They will probably be like any other couple, slowly taking care of their child, watching the child grow up little by little, and eventually getting married and starting their own careers.

And they... will probably grow old together and grow old together.

"..."
