Chapter 1476 Xiao Yike: An Xin'er? Who is An Xin'er? You two don't really have a prob
"So you really don't have any children?" Little Yike stared at Karuni with wide, blinking eyes.
The match next door has already started, using a draw elimination system. Currently, it's Dan Di vs. Yu Long Du, while the others are watching from the battle room.
Karuni rested her chin on her hand and smiled helplessly, "I'm sure I didn't have children in this world, but... I can't guarantee that I didn't have children in other worlds."
"Hmm?" Xiao Yike's eyes lit up. "So you have someone in mind as the father of your child?"
Karuni gave Xiao Yike a flick on the forehead in an annoyed tone: "Throw out the dirty thoughts in your head."
"Ugh~" Xiao Yi hugged her head pitifully, "But that's exactly what you meant."
Karuni paused, then sighed helplessly: "I'm not always single. I had a boyfriend before I became the champion, but we broke up because of... our plans for the future."
"And!" Karuni's tone suddenly became serious.
Before speaking, she turned off the microphone of the live stream, then glanced cautiously at the others to make sure no one could hear her, before whispering with a slightly flushed face, "And I'm sure I can't have children."
"Oh~" Xiao Yike suddenly realized, "Indeed, holding hands and kissing won't make you pregnant."
Karuni: "..."
What's wrong with this kid? When I don't know him, he's like a cute little puppy, but once I get to know him, I realize he's a beagle.
It's still just a yellow beagle.
With a blush on her face, Karuni gave Xiao Yi a sharp rap on the head. Seeing Xiao Yi clutching her head and groaning, with tears welling up in her eyes, Karuni laughed with satisfaction.
A smile graced her face, her cheeks flushed slightly, like a ripe apple, incredibly tempting.
Perhaps because she hadn't been working for a while, Karuni was noticeably more relaxed. She wasn't wearing heavy makeup like before, and instead looked more youthful and radiant, a far cry from her former mature and sophisticated self.
Honestly, she was probably the most beautiful person there.
"Of all the girls I know, you're second in looks," Qianlin said with a smile, arms crossed.
"When did you get here?" Karuni asked in shock. "Wait, you...you didn't hear anything, did you?"
"What?" Qianlin asked in confusion. "I didn't hear anything."
Karuni breathed a sigh of relief.
Qianlin continued, "I definitely didn't hear a single word about things like holding hands or kissing not causing pregnancy."
Karuni: "..."
"Don't worry, with infinite parallel universes, what's impossible?" Qianlin chuckled as he looked at Karuni. "Every choice, every point in time, could give birth to a new future. Believe it or not, in some parallel world, I already have a child, and the mother might not even be able to say who it is."
You know what, those kinds of words can actually be comforting.
Karuni laughed again: "So, if it were you, what name would you give your child?"
“Qianyan, Qianyu, Qianxun are all fine.” Qianlin spread his hands. “It’s just a matter of choosing a name. Anyway, the surname is already decided. Just open the Yanxia Daily Character Dictionary, flip to a random page, and if it doesn’t work, just go to the next page. We’ll always find a suitable character.”
"You're being too hasty," Xiao Yike complained, putting down her hands that were covering her head.
“That’s how I got my name,” Qianlin laughed. “You don’t think everyone’s name has to have a profound meaning, do you? No, our older generation didn’t know that many characters, so they chose names based on meaning. Our generation, on the other hand, wants to be unique… or just sound nice.”
That's why children's names nowadays often contain so many obscure characters that ordinary people don't recognize, or a particular pleasant-sounding pronunciation is reused. In a class of thirty, five people might have the same pronunciation but different characters in their names.
That's ridiculous.
Speaking of this, Qianlin sighed and shook his head, saying, "Nowadays, novelists also just randomly choose a surname from the Hundred Family Surnames, and then randomly choose one or two more from the Common Chinese Characters. That's how they come up with the names of the protagonists in their novels."
"So hasty?" Karuni was somewhat surprised. "Should we do this when naming supporting characters too?"
Qianlin nodded: "The simpler ones do it this way, the smarter ones just say they're soliciting supporting characters for their novels. They don't even need to think of anything themselves, the book reviews are full of names, just pick one."
Karuni asked in surprise, "How do you know this so well? Have you written novels too?"
“No.” Qianlin shook his head. “But when I went to the Mirror World back then, there was a novelist on the forum called ‘Riding a Horse and Watching Foolishly’ who said he was going to write a novel based on my story. I took a look afterward, and this guy tricked readers into thinking of names for his supporting characters just like that.”
"I've read that novel!" Xiao Yike raised her hand excitedly. "And I even submitted a character from the novel, and I was chosen..."
She was stunned.
The next second, she seemed to put on a clown mask: "So I was tricked by that damn author's wild idea?"
Qianlin laughed out loud.
The author's wisdom is boundless; when it comes to slacking off, copying book reviews, and causing trouble to ask for leave, the methods are incredibly diverse and varied.
Even more extreme is the fact that he's been eating late-night snacks for years without finishing them and then coming back to update his blog.
Beside her, Xiao Yike's face was all scrunched up, her fists clenched, and she was muttering something under her breath.
Qianlin glanced at the heated battle, then turned his gaze back to Karuni: "So what about you? If you had a daughter, what name would you give her?"
The topic suddenly turned back to herself, and Karuni was taken aback for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, she still smiled and gave her answer: "Hmm~ An Xin'er."
“An Xin’er…” Qian Lin murmured the name, then smiled a few seconds later, “A good name.”
"Is it good?" Karuni's smile softened considerably.
"Because it sounds good." Qianlin nodded. "Meaning, novelty, and pleasant sound. I'm also a member of the new generation, so a name should have at least one of these three qualities. One is enough."
Karuni's eyes flashed: "You seem to be... implying something."
"Really?" Qianlin feigned doubt, but his face was full of smiles. "I was just expressing what I was thinking."
Karuni looked intently at Chizuru, who simply smiled in response to her gaze.
After a long while, Karuni conceded defeat and laughed helplessly: "You're always like this, saying things that sound like you care about others without your knowledge, but you never admit it, silently standing in front of all of us in this way."
Qianlin smiled without saying a word.
She looked at Qianlin, her voice gentle, her smile radiant: "Qianlin, the leader has led everyone over the first and most difficult mountain. From now on, he will only stand on the highest peak and watch those behind him surpass him and continue forward, overcoming one mountain after another along the way, until the next, even higher mountain appears."
“But at that time… I won’t be the one leading everyone anymore.” Qianlin also spoke gently, “There will be a new leader standing at the front of the group, crossing higher peaks without even realizing it, until he stands on the summit.”
"And I only need to stand on the summit of what was once the highest peak and look ahead, watching them traverse mountains and valleys to reach even higher peaks." Qianlin smiled, his eyes crinkling. "Until we cross even higher peaks, the boy who remains on the summit will meet my gaze."
Karuni asked softly, "What would you say back then?"
Qianlin grinned and said, "He used to be the one following behind me, and he was also the one whose back I could only see. At the peak of the past and at the peak of the present, he would smile and give me a thumbs up, just like I do. I would smile back with the warmest smile, just like him."
“We will say…”
"very simple!"
Karuni chuckled, her cheeks flushing red like the sunrise or a rainbow after the rain, dazzling and radiant.
She lightly covered her mouth with her right hand, smiling gently: "Do you think everyone is like you?"
"It's not necessarily true." Qianlin simply looked at her gently.
The two looked at each other and laughed heartily.
