Chapter 315 Figured it out
Liu Yuanyuan tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep at night.
Dai Tong, who was huddled nearby, looked up at her and said, "If you really have something on your mind, you can tell me about it. Don't keep it bottled up. Maybe after you tell me, you'll be able to figure it out."
Liu Yuanyuan looked at the dark ceiling and sighed deeply. "After talking with my eldest brother, I suddenly realized that my thoughts were paranoid. I didn't expect that the name was chosen by my eldest brother, and he had such a beautiful vision in his heart.. I always thought that if I accepted the name Lu Yuanyuan, I would repeat the mistakes of my previous life. I don't like this name.
In my previous life, besides my third brother and grandfather being incredibly kind to me, the only other person who treated me well was my eldest brother. He was the most impartial person in the family. Even though he was closer to Lu Meichen, he never favored her. He could even point out our little secrets with alacrity. So, I was a little afraid of him.
In her previous life, Lu Meichen was also very afraid of Big Brother, because after all, he did some shady things, and Big Brother always had a good eye for things. In her previous life, she also set a trap to frame me when Big Brother was abroad to discuss a project. She was afraid that Big Brother would see the flaw when he was in the company.
"So, what are you hesitating about? Are you worried that giving up this name will disappoint your elder brother's kindness? But your elder brother seems to understand your choice." Dai Tong said, looking at her with her head tilted.
"That's right, I don't want to disappoint Big Brother's kindness. But I don't want to compromise either. So I want to find a way to have the best of both worlds."
Dai Tong was silent for a moment before she said, "How about this? When you return to your roots, your name will be Lu Yuanyuan in the family tree. But you don't have to change your household registration or anything like that. You can just continue to be called Liu Yuanyuan."
Liu Yuanyuan finally turned around, blinked at him, and looked at the two emerald green spots in the darkness. "Is this still possible? I thought the name on the family tree should be consistent with the household registration, so that when we look up this person, we have a basis. Otherwise, the household registration and family tree won't match. It will be a bit troublesome to find the person later."
Dai Tong smiled and waved her paw. "The purpose of a family tree is to record that such a person once existed in the world. If you want to investigate all the information related to this person, it must be the Public Security Bureau. Household registration information. After all, the person who manages the family tree only writes your name on the tree, and does not record your life deeds."
Liu Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment: "Let me think about it. Anyway, the matter of returning to worship our ancestors tomorrow will definitely not change."
As the man and the cat were talking, there was a sudden knock on the master bedroom door. Lu Meichen's voice came over, a little cautiously: "Yuanyuan, are you asleep? I can't sleep, and I want to talk to you."
Liu Yuanyuan sat up and turned on the bedside lamp: "I can't sleep either, come in and chat."
Lu Meichen immediately opened the door happily and walked in holding a pillow.
Liu Yuanyuan patted the empty space next to her, and Dai Tong decisively jumped to her feet. Lu Meichen crawled in with some quilts, put the pillow in place, and leaned against the back of the bed. Looking at Liu Yuanyuan, he said a little aggrievedly, "I don't want to change my name. Can you understand my idea? But my brother means that tomorrow's ancestor worship is definitely not going to be changed.
Am I going to be crossed out from the Lu family tree? Will I be called Liu Meichen from now on? The thought of this makes me feel so sad. I feel like from now on, I will be separated from my parents, my older brothers, and that kid Lu Mingzhi. Our lives will never intersect again. We will no longer be from the same world. We will be strangers from now on.
Liu Yuanyuan sighed, reached out and hugged Lu Meichen in her arms, patted his shoulder: "I understand this feeling, so I don't want to change my name."
"Right, right, I knew you thought the same as me. I don't want to leave my parents and my brothers." Lu Meichen's eyes turned red as she spoke.
"My eldest brother just talked to me about changing my name. He told me it was up to me and he wouldn't force me. Didn't my eldest brother tell you the same thing?"
"I told you, but Mom and Dad feel that if you change your surname to Lu and I don't, it's like I owe your parents a child." Lu Meichen also sighed helplessly.
Liu Yuanyuan found it funny and patted her shoulder to comfort her, saying, "Don't worry, I don't plan to change my name and will still be called Liu Yuanyuan. But someone suggested a way to have the best of both worlds. When I enter the family tree tomorrow, my name will be written as Lu Yuanyuan. This way, I can have the best of both worlds. Why don't you do the same?"
After saying that, Liu Yuanyuan looked at Lu Meichen. Lu Meichen's eyes lit up instantly, and Liu Yuanyuan felt as if she had seen a sparkling gem in the night.
"Your idea is great, let's do it. I don't think it's necessary to change it either. Once I change my name, my household registration will have to be changed, and my student records and other information will have to be changed. I'll also have to write my former name on the test paper in the future. It's too troublesome just thinking about it. If I change my name multiple times, will I have to write a series of names at the end? It's funny to think about it. Others have already started answering questions on the exam, and I'm still writing my name."
Lu Meichen's idea also made Liu Yuanyuan burst out laughing, knowing that the knot in the little girl's heart had been untied. So she thought and said, "Okay, now that you have come to your senses, let's go to bed quickly. Do you want to sleep with me tonight or go back to the guest room?"
Lu Meichen sighed, stood up and hugged the pillow and said: "I'd better go back to the guest bedroom. I'm afraid that if we stay here, we won't be able to sleep. I guess I can chat with you until dawn."
Liu Yuanyuan also smiled slightly: "Okay, good night, go to bed quickly."
After Lu Meichen left, the leader spoke up, "So you've made up your mind, right?"
Liu Yuanyuan nodded and said with a smile, "I've decided to adopt your idea. After all, finding someone is a serious matter. By that time, I'll be dead, and they won't be able to find me. It seems that it doesn't have much to do with me. I don't need to think too much about it. Right now, the most important thing is my own happiness and the well-being of my family."
Dai Tong flicked her tail, then lay down with her head curled up into a ball, closed her eyes, and said nonchalantly, "Okay, now that you've figured it out, go to sleep quickly. After all, I didn't sleep well at all last night after setting off firecrackers all night long."
Liu Yuanyuan also closed her eyes, smiled and said to Dai Tong, "Good night."
Early the next morning, the doorbell rang. Liu Yuanyuan and Lu Meichen, with messy hair and yawning, came to the front door together and opened the door.
They saw Lu Mingle standing at the door with breakfast in his hand. He nodded to the two of them, said good morning, and then walked past them towards the restaurant.
