Chapter 220 Name
Tie Hongyan's behavior at that time had made the guard feel that she had become a different person. She said to Wu Xunsheng loudly, "I live here, this is my home, I like my home, and of course I will never run away again!" This made a deep impression on the guard. When the guard told Tie Wandao about Tie Hongyan's situation and what she had said, he couldn't help but say, "The young patriarch is like a different person."
Tie Wandao felt that Wu Xunsheng's contribution was too great, so he thanked him and admired him very much. He rewarded him handsomely that day and told him that if he had any requests, he could ask for them. However, Wu Xunsheng did not ask for anything from him, but just worked hard.
As the sun was setting, Tie Hongyan and Wu Xunsheng came to the field again. The wild flowers were fragrant and the sky was full of sunset glow. After the two children chased each other for a while, they sat on the path and talked while watching the setting sun.
"The sun is about to set." said Tie Hongyan.
"Yes, it's getting dark again." said Wu Xunsheng.
"How nice it would be if the sky could stay bright forever!" Tie Hongyan said, holding his cheek.
"But the sun gets tired too, it needs a rest too!"
"That's right!" Tie Hongyan felt that Wu Xunsheng's words made sense.
"Are you afraid of the dark?" Wu Xunsheng asked.
"Not afraid. But I hate the dark the most! What about you? Are you afraid of the dark?" Tie Hongyan said.
"I was afraid when I was a kid, but I wasn't afraid anymore," Wu said. "I still remember my dad saying, 'The dark isn't scary, the scary thing is being afraid of the dark.'"
"What do you mean?" Tie Hongyan asked with his head tilted.
"Actually, I don't understand either. My father said this to... to someone else." Wu Xunsheng felt that he seemed to have said something he didn't want to say, so he changed the subject and said, "Can I ask you a few questions?"
"Just ask!"
"Your name is Tie Hongyan, right?"
"Yes."
"Why did you tell me your name was Pingming when we first met?" Wu Xunsheng looked at Tie Hongyan's expression when he said this. "That was my old name, but don't call me by that name in the future!" Tie Hongyan said seriously, as if he had been reminded by him.
"why?"
"It's because I'm no longer called by that name. That name is not mine anymore. Even if you call me by that name, you're not calling me. I only have one name, Tie Hongyan. There will always be only this one name. Do you remember it?" Tie Hongyan seemed a little serious.
"Oh……"
Wu Xunsheng was just asking casually. Since she didn't want him to call her by her old name, he just didn't need to. He thought the topic was about to end, but Tie Hongyan said seriously, "You have to promise me that you will never call me by my old name!"
"Why are you so serious?" Wu Xunsheng felt that Tie Hongyan seemed to be making a big deal out of nothing.
"Do you agree or not?"
"promise."
"What if you call me by that name in the future?" Tie Hongyan asked.
"If I call you by that name, I'll be a puppy, okay?" Wu Xunsheng said casually.
"No, even if you say you are a puppy, you won't really become a puppy!" Tie Hongyan said.
"Then what do you think I am?"
"You..." Tie Hongyan thought for a while but couldn't think of any way to prevent him from calling her by her old name. "You tell me one yourself."
