Chapter 2912

"Of course. She is our sister, after all." Cheng Jianguang said proudly.

She thought all younger brothers were terrible and all younger sisters were adorable. She had always wanted a sister. If she could swap a brother for a sister, she would have done it long ago.

Now that she finally had a sister, she wanted to protect her extra well. So, although she was a bit annoyed that Yan Xiwan hadn’t introduced herself at first, that annoyance vanished completely after her apology and explanation.

"Yes, very good. It shows you are all very good children," Ouyang Tianyun said with a smile.

"Brother Tianyun, are you going to play shooting today too?" Cheng Jianguang asked.

Ouyang Tianyun shook his head slightly. "I just came out for a walk. Besides, I am going to the research institute in a few days. I won’t have such leisurely days anymore."

"Brother, how old are you? Why do you talk so old? You sound like my grandpa," Yan Xiwan sniffed, showing her displeasure.

Ouyang Tianyun paused, speechless. He rubbed Yan Xiwan’s hair. "Good girl, how am I old? I am only fifteen."

"I am five." Yan Xiwan held up her small hand. "I have only five fingers on one hand. You need three hands with fifteen fingers to count your age. You are much older than me. To me, you are really old."

Ouyang Tianyun looked at Yan Xiwan with a bitter smile.

Yan Xiwan made a funny face.

Her cute and adorable look made Ouyang Tianyun unable to scold her too much. she could only say, "Good girl, you cannot talk about people’s age like that."

"But you are not a girl," Yan Xiwan said seriously.

"Silly girl, even though I am not a girl, comparing ages still hurts my feelings," Ouyang Tianyun understood what Yan Xiwan meant.

"Good sister, what does age have to do with being a girl?" Cheng Jianrong asked curiously.

Cheng Jianguang looked at Cheng Jianrong with disappointment. "According to rules from ancient times to now, women mind when people talk about their age. Girls are not women, but they are young versions of women. So they care about age too."

"Oh." Cheng Jianrong nodded, seeming to understand. "I see."

Ouyang Tianyun said, "Enough on this topic."

Then Ouyang Tianyun asked Cheng Jianguang, "I heard you skipped another grade recently?"

"Yes." Cheng Jianguang nodded seriously. "I am in fifth grade now. I want to grow up early and join the research institute in the future."

Ouyang Tianyun nodded with a smile. "Very good. I will wait for you there."

"Yes, yes." Hearing Ouyang Tianyun say this, Cheng Jianguang’s eyes lit up.

Yan Xiwan did not understand this very well. So she listened quietly to their conversation and drank some soda.

It had to be said, Yan Xiwan was used to the water from her Ruyi Space. She did not particularly like the taste of this soda.

Soda is mostly carbohydrates. Many people like that feeling, but Yan Xiwan did not. She preferred natural fruit juice.

"I cannot drink any more," Yan Xiwan said, looking at the bottle in her hand.

Seeing Yan Xiwan frown, Ouyang Tianyun took her soda bottle. she saw there was still one-third left. "I am thirsty. Good girl, give it to me."

"But I already drank from it. Giving it to you is not polite," Yan Xiwan frowned.

"It is okay. We must cherish our food." After saying this, Ouyang Tianyun gulped down the remaining one-third in one go.

"This kid is flirting with my daughter." Yan Aohan watched the scene on the misty screen, his face full of anger.

"I remember when you flirted with me, I was also young," Zhu Yanyi said calmly.

She always had an open mind about her children’s marriages. All her children found their own partners. So she would not object to Yan Xiwan’s future partner.

Besides, she knew Ouyang Tianyun. If her daughter and Ouyang Tianyun really had this fate, it would be a good match.

"You were eight when you confirmed your feelings for me," Yan Aohan said. "Eight is older than five, after all."

Zhu Yanyi sneered and glanced at Yan Aohan. "Shameless. Hurry up and watch."

Yan Xiwan watched Ouyang Tianyun finish the drink in one gulp. She blinked and then smiled. "Brother Tianyun, are you still thirsty?"

"Yes, so I plan to buy another bottle. Do you want one?" Ouyang Tianyun asked deliberately.

"No. This makes my belly bloated," Yan Xiwan shook her head. "And soda is carbohydrates. It is not good to drink too much. Pure fruit juice is better."

"You like fruit juice?" Ouyang Tianyun asked curiously.

"Yes." Yan Xiwan nodded.

"That is great. My family has many watermelons. I will go get two for you. You can take them back and make juice," Ouyang Tianyun said with a smile.

"Will that be embarrassing? My parents said I cannot take things from strangers," Yan Xiwan said.

"Good girl, what did you call me?" Ouyang Tianyun reminded her.

"Brother Tianyun," Yan Xiwan looked at Ouyang Tianyun in confusion, not understanding why he asked.

"See? You know you call me Brother Tianyun. Since I am your brother, how can giving my sister two watermelons make me a stranger?" Ouyang Tianyun rubbed Yan Xiwan’s head. "You cannot say such things casually. If you do, I will be sad."

"Oh." Yan Xiwan nodded. She tilted her head and thought about Ouyang Tianyun’s words. Indeed, she called her brother. So they were acquaintances.

"Then thank you, Brother Tianyun," Yan Xiwan said.

"You are welcome." Ouyang Tianyun thought it would be nice to have a sister like this.

The Ouyang family was not without girls, but Ouyang Tianyun was not close to them. Probably because of intelligence differences.

Ouyang Tianyun was the representative of genius in the Ouyang family. At only fifteen, he was specially selected to enter the research institute. Probably because of this, children of the same age in the Ouyang family admired Ouyang Tianyun.

Actually, it was the same in this compound.

To the children in this compound, Ouyang Tianyun was unattainable.

Because of this, Ouyang Tianyun had no one to talk to.

Cheng Jianguang could catch Ouyang Tianyun’s eye because Cheng Jianguang’s intelligence was also good. If another young person from this compound entered the research institute in the future, it would likely be Cheng Jianguang.

However, now Ouyang Tianyun found that he liked Yan Xiwan.

Accurately speaking, he liked the aura around Yan Xiwan. It was gentle and made people feel at ease.

Ouyang Tianyun indeed went home and brought two watermelons for Yan Xiwan to take. Yan Xiwan could not carry them, so the Cheng brothers took one each.

The news that the Cheng family was adopting a goddaughter spread through the compound.

In a few days, many children in the compound knew Yan Xiwan and knew she was the Cheng family’s goddaughter.

In this compound, there was little difference between a goddaughter and a biological daughter. She was recognized by the family. In the future, the goddaughter would also be responsible for sending off her godparents.

In short, as long as the adoption ceremony was completed, she was the same as a real daughter.

They did not choose a special day. Given the current situation, no auspicious day could be used. So they chose a Sunday.

Since adopting a goddaughter required inviting all relatives, Sunday was the best.

"It is nice to have such a lively occasion once," Cheng Lao, Cheng Junnan’s father, said.

Cheng Lao had experienced more storms and was particularly wise. To protect the Cheng family, he had retired early. This wisdom was not comparable to ordinary people.

Cheng Junnan had disappeared suddenly a while ago. Cheng Lao was very worried. Later, he received news that his son was saved and met a cute little girl whom he wanted to adopt as a goddaughter.

She knew her son. She was always arrogant. If someone did not suit her taste, she would never propose to adopt a goddaughter.

After all, for people like them, god-relatives were formal relatives.

After meeting Yan Tieniu’s family of three, he understood why his son wanted to form this bond.

Yan Tieniu looked honest, but she was actually a man with deep thoughts. Wang Suyu, although a rural woman, showed great upbringing in her every move.

Especially the main character of the adoption, the little girl Yan Xiwan. She was cute, delicate, and looked like a person with good fortune at first glance.

Even Cheng Lao felt he had a good affinity with Yan Xiwan. So becoming god-relatives was inevitable.

Therefore, during the adoption ceremony, he had Yan Xiwan call him Grandpa, representing that he also accepted her as his god-granddaughter.

"I say, Dad, you are too good at taking advantage. I am adopting a goddaughter, and you make her call you Grandpa first. She should call me Dad first," Cheng Junnan said.

"Didn’t she already call you Godfather?" Cheng Lao said.

"But today is the big day, the formal day. This call is important. And you snatched it first," Cheng Junnan said he could not accept his father being so calculating.

"Am I your father?" Cheng Lao had some ways to deal with his son.

"If you were not my father, I would not call you Dad," Cheng Junnan muttered.

"Then does your son call me Grandpa?" Cheng Lao continued.

"Yes." Cheng Junnan nodded.

"Since I am your father and your son’s grandfather, what is wrong with your goddaughter calling me Grandpa? You say I snatched it? This is an open and above-board matter. Does it need snatching?" Cheng Lao looked at his son with disdain for his lack of intelligence.

Cheng Junnan knew this logic was wrong. In adoption, there is a primary recognition and a secondary recognition. The primary ones are the godfather and godmother. The old man could only be considered secondary, meaning he was included by association. The old man only needed to save face; he did not need a special recognition.

But now that the old man pointed it out, it meant Yan Xiwan was not only Cheng Junnan’s goddaughter but also Cheng Lao’s god-granddaughter and a young lady of the Cheng family. Her status was naturally different.
