When they got home, Lu Zechen coaxed Nian Nian and asked Gu Lian to take a bath first.
He put the child in the cradle and looked for the dictionary in the room.
If Ran Ran hadn't reminded him, he would have almost ignored these details.
Several times, when he would put the dictionary on something, Gu Lian would quietly take it away. After several repetitions, she put the dictionary directly into the small bookshelf on the wall. There were many books on it, so he had no chance to take it.
After thinking about it carefully, it is clear that there is a little secret in the dictionary.
While Gu Lian was taking a shower, he took out the dictionary and looked up his name.
Before he could look it up, he spread out the dictionary and happened to find a page that was folded.
My heart started to speed up, and I could vaguely guess what words were on that page.
He opened it slowly, and was startled for a moment before he could see the printed words clearly.
The thin paper has a lot of words printed on it, making it difficult to find any gaps.
But wherever there are gaps, someone has written something. It was written with a ballpoint pen. It is a bit blurry, and the written words have been erased by someone, but it can still be seen clearly.
——Lu, Ze, Chen.
Densely written, it fills up that piece of paper.
Write once, fail once, and then continue writing until there are no more gaps in the paper.
It can be seen that the man was in a conflicted mood at that time.
Lu Zechen supported the table with one hand and leaned over to read the words. He couldn't tell what the feeling was for a while, and his throat was dry and astringent.
He smoothed the paper and his eyes fell on the words of explanation.
Ze: 1, the place where water gathers 2, favor 3, the things left behind.
There are several explanations in a row, but the favor is circled, and there is a row of small dots next to it. It seems that they are left behind by the ballpoint pen.
Then in a piece of tiny printed fonts, with only a little space left, three words were written.
Gu Youen.
He breathed a sigh of relief, remembering the stupid behavior he had made with her that day at the police station by telling her nonsense and forcing her to change her name, and he wished he could slap himself both on the spot.
pig!
Youen means praying to God to bless him.
Fortunately, I didn't change it randomly, no matter how much I said my gratitude or my heartfelt thoughts, it was okay.
He murmured several times in his heart, feeling moved and regretful, his eyes slightly hot.
"Lu Zechen?"
Gu Lian's voice came from the bathroom.
Lu Zechen straightened up and quickly put the dictionary away. There were still several books on it.
"What's wrong?"
"Get me that little scraper. It's on the bedside table."
"good."
He calmed down his emotions and gave her the things.
"Don't be bored for too long, or you'll get dizzy easily," he warned by the way.
"Know."
After a while, Gu Lian came out, his face flushed red from the steam.
She walked to the window sill and before she sat down, Lu Zechen suddenly hugged her from behind.
"what?"
"I want to hug you." He moved to the crook of her neck, brushed away her hair that fell on her shoulders, and kissed her softly.
Gu Lian felt itchy and pushed him twice. "The wine smells terrible. Let's go take a shower."
"It smells bad. All I drank at night was absinthe. You like this wine the most," he said.
Gu Lian turned her face and said, "Then you have to take a shower first."
"No rush, I'll take a look at you first."
Gu Lian thought he was going to talk about the child's name, so she said first: "If you want to change Nian Nian's name, you can change it."
"Um?"
"I don't mind."
Lu Zechen smiled, "What are you thinking about? Why change it? What a good name."
Gu Lian turned to look at him, "You don't mind?"
Lu Zechen didn't answer, but held her waist, "It's my fault whether you change it or not. Can you still change it?"
Gu Lian pursed her lips, "Then..."
"What did you think when you first chose the name?" he asked suddenly.
