Chapter 18 - CHAPTER 18

What should we call you? (2)

They couldn't help but looked at her. She had already returned to her original position and went back to opening up the toys. Her face looking as normal as usual.

Li Jinyuan let out a sigh before he said softly, "What should I call you?"

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that," said Zhong Yuhuan as she put down the pair of scissors. She thought about it long and hard and said, "Since you were adopted as my mother's sons, that would make you my … di di."

(T/N: Di di means younger brother.)

Zhong Yuhuan was a single child in her previous life so this all felt very novel to her.

The corners of her mouth turned upward and she said, "You should call me 'jie jie'."

(T/N: Jie jie means older sister.)

Huo Chengming seemed reluctant and suddenly added, lowly, "How old are you?"

Zhong Yuhuan replied slowly, "I am 12, older than you, right?"

Huo Chengming lowered his head, "I am 13."

Zhong Yuhuan opened her mouth and was about to say, "Wow, I really couldn't tell."

But, luckily, she was able to stop herself before the words escaped.

Boys, after all, developed slower than girls. Not to mention that they were raised in a welfare agency, they definitely did not have enough nutrients to grow…

"Alright," Zhong Yuhuan changed her tune right away, "Ge ge."

(T/N: Ge ge means older brother.)

Hearing that term out of the blue, Huo Chengming froze on the spot. Even his sight froze as though he was stunned greatly.

A few seconds have passed before his ears started to burn, bit by bit, his entire ear turned beet red all the way to his neck.

Zhong Yuhuan cocked her head and looked at Li Jinyuan, "Well, you must be younger than me."

Li Jinyuan said softly, "I am also 12, and my birthday is November 5th."

Zhong Yuhuan looked at him with surprise, "What a coincidence? Mine is November 4th!" She had the same birthday before and after her transmigration.

Zhong Yuhuan pointed at herself and said, "So I am still jie jie."

Li Jinyuan opened up his mouth but failed to make a sound.

Right then the maid brought up dinner.

"Why don't we have dinner first?" Zhong Yuhuan generously let the male lead off the hook.

The two boys were finally released from the awkward situation and quickly stood up and walked over to the dinner table.

Zhong Yuhuan stayed where she was and started unwrapping the new clothes. When she was finally done, she yawned and said, "Your new clothes are on the couch. I am going to bed."

"Mmm," they responded softly.

Zhong Yuhuan turned around and went into her bedroom and crawled into bed.

It was tiring to have to get up so early.

Zhong Yuhuan didn't wake up till the next morning.

Zhong Chi still hasn't come home yet.

But the tutors that Lang Jinzhi arranged had already arrived.

Zhong Yuhuan had the tutors headed to the third floor directly.

The tutors brought all the textbooks with them so as soon as the brief introduction was over, they practically started the cramming session immediately for the two of them.

Zhong Yuhuan joined them for the first two days before she called it quits. Now, whenever a tutor started talking, she'd start to yawn right away.

In order to take a break from it all, she went shopping once again.

Shopping for toys, shopping for clothes, and anything else needed for when school starts. Stuff like backpacks, pens, etc.

A week had gone by quickly, and Zhong Chi and Xu Yunhui finally returned to the Zhong's mansion.

Xu Yushan wasn't able to have her gathering, naturally she was in a very foul mood. She had been waiting for this moment to wreck havoc for Zhong Yuhuan.

When Zhong Yuhuan came downstairs and saw the three of them on the couch, she beat her to the punch by saying, "Xu Yushan told me a few days ago that you are planning on having her change her last name to Zhong and recognize her as your own daughter?"

Naturally that idea had been on Xu Yushan's mind, but she has yet to say that out aloud…

Zhong Chi's face dropped on the other side.

When Xu Yunhui saw that, she knew this wasn't going to go well.

She and Xu Yushan had always taken the lower position in front of Zhong Chi and always pretended to be someone agreeable, considerate, and never have their own agendas.
