Chu Qingzhi held her chin and looked up at the moon through the window. “Second Sister, do you think the name Chu Qingyue sounds good?”

Chu Second’s eyes lit up. “Fifth Sister, I like this name.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and nodded. “Second Sister, go and tell Father and Mother. If they agree, this name will belong to you in the future.”

Chu Second said excitedly, “Alright, I’ll go immediately.” As she spoke, she ran out like a gust of wind. It was obvious how happy she was.

Chu Fourth, who was next door, heard their conversation. She hesitated for a moment and ran to Chu Qingzhi. “Fifth Sister, give Fourth Sister a name too, okay?”

Chu Qingzhi pulled Chu Fourth to sit beside her. “As your sister, I will naturally help.”

Chu Fourth couldn’t help but smile. Every time she smiled, a dimple would appear on her left cheek. She was very cute. “Thank you, Fifth Sister.”

Chu Qingzhi pondered for a moment. “Fourth Sister, what do you think of the name Chu Qingning?”

Chu Fourth smiled from the bottom of her heart. She said gently, “Qingzhi, it sounds nice. Fourth Sister likes it very much.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Then this name will be yours.”

Chu Fourth was touched and hugged Chu Qingzhi. “Thank you, Fifth Sister.”

Chu Second ran back, happy and excited. “Fifth Sister, Father and Mother agreed, and so did Grandpa and Grandma.”

Chu Qingzhi clapped her hands. “Then congratulations on having a new name.”

Chu Qingyue smiled. “Fifth Sister, thank you.”

Chu Qingzhi waved her hand. “It’s a piece of cake.”

Chu Fourth quickly said, “Second Sister, Fifth Sister also gave me a name. It’s Chu Qingning. Is it nice?”

Chu Qingyue called out softly twice, “Qingning, Chu Qingning, it also sounds very nice.”

Chu Fourth stood up and said happily, “Then I announce that from now on, my name is Chu Qingning. Don’t call me Chu Fourth anymore. Call me Qingning.”

Chu Qingyue smiled and said, “Alright, I promise you.”

From now on, Chu Second and Chu Fourth had names. They were Chu Qingyue and Chu Qingning.

Chu Qingning returned to her room happily. Chu Qingyue continued to learn to write with Chu Qingzhi.

…

Chu Qingning, Chu Sixth, and Chu Eighth were in the same room. Chu Sixth and Chu Eighth looked at Chu Qingning enviously. Chu Sixth said in a low voice, “Fourth Sister, I also want Fifth Sister to give me a name.”

Chu Qingning looked at Chu Sixth and suddenly said, “Chu Sixth, are you afraid of your Fifth Sister?”

Chu Sixth’s eyes darted. “No, Fourth Sister, it’s not true.”

Chu Qingning smiled and asked, “Then why don’t you have the courage to go and ask your Fifth Sister?”

Chu Sixth said in a low voice, “I’m afraid that Fifth Sister will reject me.”

Chu Qingning encouraged, “Your Fifth Sister is very good and won’t reject you. If you want a name, you can tell her.”

Chu Sixth nodded slightly and ran to sleep. She was not mentally prepared yet. After getting to know her Fifth Sister more, she would ask.

Chu Eighth pretended to be asleep. She actually wanted a name too. Everyone in the village had a name, but the children of the Chu family did not. She was especially envious. Now that she could get her Fifth Sister to give her a name, she chickened out.

…

Li Qingyu whispered to Chu Rong, “Qingzhi and her siblings get along quite well. When we first brought her back, I was especially worried that Qingzhi would not be used to it.”

Chu Rong lay on his back with a faint smile on his face. “Qingzhi is a good child.”

Li Qingyu said proudly, “That’s for sure. It’s her adoptive family’s loss to send her back.”

Chu Rong said unhappily, “Don’t mention that family in the future.”

Li Qingyu nodded. “I understand. Now that our family is together, it’s better than anything.”

Chu Rong regretted his choice back then. “You’re right. No matter how difficult our life is in the future, we won’t send her away.”

Li Qingyu nodded.

…

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the ground was covered in silver light.

On the mountain, Chu Qingzhi sat cross-legged, looking like she was meditating.

Under the moonlight, her hair fluttered. She looked like an immortal.

There was a huge white tiger lying in front of her. It was dozing with its eyes closed. Behind her were two big black bears sleeping. There were a few monkeys squatting on the big black bear’s back. Behind them were four wolves.

Suddenly, there was a sound in the forest.

Chu Qingzhi turned around and saw two people whooshing through the branches in the forest. The one in the front was a masked man in black, and behind the masked figure was… Tang Jinghong.

As expected, Tang Jinghong was not simple. The masked man in black in front did not seem to be an ordinary thief. Chu Qingzhi wondered if she should help.

Just as she was hesitating, the masked man in black was flying towards her.

She looked around, picked up a stone, and threw it casually. Then, the masked man in black fell to the ground.

Tang Jinghong looked up and saw Chu Qingzhi waving at him.

Tang Jinghong was speechless.
