"'Ming' is the 'Ming' of brightness; 'Shu' is the 'Shu' from the phrase 'a quiet girl named Shu'."
Fearing he might not understand, Mingshu even took the trouble to explain again, "Hey, do you know what 'Shu' means?" Mingshu raised her hand and gestured earnestly, with a face full of self-admiration, "Shu means beautiful and ladylike, just like me!"
Her tone was one of utter confidence.
"..."
Si Chu glanced at the bump on her forehead, his lips twitching slightly, his meaning unclear.
Mingshu caught his look and immediately glared, pouting unhappily, "What's with that look? Am I wrong?"
Si Chu was noncommittal, bowing his head and silently repeating the two characters in his mind.
Ming, Shu.
So her name was Mingshu.
It was indeed a beautiful name, and one could tell that her parents must have held great hopes for her.
Not like him...
Si Chu's eyes dimmed slightly, he remained silent, his expression becoming somewhat somber in the darkness.
