Having named the eldest and youngest, Gu Mengmeng turned around to look at the second and third. These two were much more obedient than the other two as they sat there waiting to be named.
Gu Mengmeng touched the head of the second, “Our second son looks extraordinary, and he can take up the “Xuan” in the Chinese expression “Qi Yu Xuan Ang” (having a dignified appearance). However, the Xuan Yuan Emperor had the same “Xuan”, so if the name carries too much weight it might suppress one’s fortune. How about this, since “Xuan” also refers to “Xuan Gong” star in the sky, we will just at a “Chi” (pond) in front of “Xuan”, meaning our second son is the reflection of the “Xuan Gong” star in the pond. The stars in the water are also stars, s.h.i.+ning in mummy’s eyes. How about that?”
“Owh owh owh~” the second straightened his back, expressing his satisfaction.
Smiling, Gu Mengmeng kissed the second eldest, then looked at the third while thinking, “The eldest has morals, the second has looks, the youngest has power. However, one with valor but lacks strategy is nothing but an ordinary man, my son needs to have both bravery and intelligence. The third… just use “Lue”, the “Lue” in “Mou Lue” (strategy). He will be the brains of the four, cooperating with his other brothers and carrying Saint Nazaire forward together.”
Gu Mengmeng thought again before saying, “Adding a “Jia” before “Lue” can be considered that this child has the heart and nature of the Buddha, otherwise… if he is evil, even if he is the most intelligent, he would only destroy the world, and might as well be a fool. I want my son to use his intelligence in kind ways, and be a good-hearted, smart person.”
Gu Mengmeng turned around to look at Elvis, “So what do you say? What about Jialue?”
Actually, there were no such factors considered by Gu Mengmeng in the beast world. What is the use of kindness? What is Buddha nature? In this world, there is only the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest.
However, Elvis would not say that to Gu Mengmeng. Females, should originally live in a beautiful, fairytale-like fantasy, and it is the responsibility of the males to create and protect that fantasy.
Hence, Elvis kissed Gu Mengmeng’s forehead gently, “Everything you like is good.”
Gu Mengmeng smiled and turned to look at her son, asking, “Baby, what do you think? Do you like Jialue as your name?”
Actually, neither Jialue nor even Elvis understood Gu Mengmeng’s explanation. However, Jialue remembered his mother mention to not go against their parents if not mummy would cry from sadness. He did not want his mother to cry, so since she wanted to call her Jialue, then Jialue it was. So little Jialue nodded, lightly leaning his head against Gu Mengmeng’s palm, caring for her in an obedient, sensible manner…
“Hede, Chixuan, Jialue, Kanwu.” Gu Mengmeng called her four sons’ names in sequence, and the four little ones looked up and responded as if they were musical players under the instruction of the musical conductor. Even the two who were feeding stopped to claw at Gu Mengmeng’s chest, angling their upper body upwards to acknowledge their mother calling them.
“Good, my baby boys all have names.” Gu Mengmeng smiled brightly and lovingly. To Elvis, that was the most beautiful image in the world.
It was at the perfect moment that Lea served the plate of meat soup. After he set the pot, he poured a serving of soup into a big plate, then positioned it on the bed and shouted a few times at the wolf cubs. The four of them then happily ran towards the plate and started drinking the soup, totally not needing Gu Mengmeng to demonstrate at the side.
Surprised, Gu Mengmeng raised her head, “They can actually understand you?”
Lea nodded, “Yeah, I have always been more talented in the area of languages. And having interacted for a long time with Elvis, I know how to communicate with wolf cubs.”
Gu Mengmeng somehow felt like she realized something, asking, “Then why did you all not directly use your language to teach them to drink soup, making me demonstrate?”
Lea shrugged innocently, then pointed at Elvis, “Because he wanted to see it.”
Gu Mengmeng turned around. Shocked, Elvis touched his own nose, “It was his idea.”
