228: Chapter 229 Final Names: Jiang Xinghe, Jiang Yueying

The atmosphere in the hospital room was tense.

Jiang Chen held the household registration book, looking deep in thought.

He gazed at the pair of little ancestors who were still sleeping with rosy cheeks, lost in deep contemplation.

"Actually, I have a good name idea."

Jiang Chen cleared his throat, his eyes flickering, "The boy can be called Jiang Dachui, and the girl can be called Jiang Xiaohua. Isn't that catchy? Doesn't it have vitality? In the future, when the kids go out, who would dare bully 'Dachui'? Just hearing that name screams 'tough guy'!"

"Jiang Chen, shut up."

Academician Chen Shuyin leaned against the pillow, holding a fruit knife, peeling an apple unhurriedly, "If you dare mention Dachui and Xiaohua again, I'll dismantle your limited-edition Rolls-Royce and sell it as scrap metal."

His mother and mother-in-law on the side squeezed Jiang Chen into the corner.

"Dachui? Xiaohua?"

Jiang Chen's mother, Liu Yulan, rolled her eyes, "Are you naming children or pigs in a sty? Our Chen and Jiang families have accumulated blessings for generations to finally have these two treasures, and you want to ruin it?"

The mother-in-law even pulled out her phone, which displayed a list of names calculated by a master.

"Look! Look!"

She pointed at the screen, "The master said the children lack gold in their destiny, so it needs to be supplemented! How about Jiang Jinkuang? No, too tacky. How about Jiang Shoufu? That brat Jiang Chen is already the richest man, so that's unnecessary."

Jiang Chen covered his face, feeling severely discriminated against.

Why is it that when I name them, it's 'ruining the kids,' but when you do, it's 'wealth and auspiciousness'?

This double standard is too obvious!

"How about Jiang Dongli?"

Jiang Chen wouldn't give up, making a final desperate struggle, "Look, our family's current industries include Photonic Chips, Anti-gravity Engines, and starships. Calling them Jiang Dongli has such a sense of the era! This is called inheritance!"

This time, even Academician Chen Shuyin couldn't take it anymore.

She stuffed the peeled apple into Jiang Chen's mouth and tossed the well-worn "Book of Songs" into his arms:

"Stop spouting nonsense."

"Look at how other people name their kids, and then look at your thought process. Is it just research or destruction for you?"

"The names must be decided today, or don't even think about leaving this room!"

The hospital room fell into another round of arguing.

The two elderly ladies were red-faced debating over "Jiang Yu" and "Jiang Siyuan," Jiang Chen tried to pitch "Jiang Ergou" only to be ruthlessly rejected, while Academician Chen Shuyin looked out the window with a helpless expression.

Outside the window, the Moon Base remained busy.

Beyond the massive glass curtain wall, the galaxy shone brightly, with countless meteors streaking across the deep vacuum.

Academician Chen Shuyin's gaze passed through the busy researchers and the lively base, casting toward the depths of the universe.

"Jiang Chen."

She suddenly spoke softly, her voice as gentle as the moonlight flowing in the room, "Look outside."

Jiang Chen turned around.

The stars filled the sky like crushed diamonds scattered on a black velvet curtain.

And in the far distance, a pale blue planet floated in the sea of stars, lonely yet firm.

That was the place where they first met.

That was the place where they stood side by side on the observation deck for the first time, kissing at an altitude of ten thousand meters.

"Xinghe…"

Academician Chen Shuyin looked at the silver belt spanning the sky, her eyes becoming extremely gentle, "The vast galaxy is infinite. Just like our career, though full of loneliness, because you are here, this galaxy becomes brilliant."

"Yueying…"

She pointed at the moon outside, illuminated by the Earth's halo, "The reflection of the moon, gentle and quiet, is like the last bit of warmth watching over this sea of stars."

"Jiang Xinghe, Jiang Yueying."

"Jiang Chen, what do you think?"

Jiang Chen looked at her expectant eyes, then at the magnificent scenery outside that would put any poet to shame.

He fell silent.

This was the romance of a scientist.

It was also the warmest poem in this crazy era.

"Okay."

Jiang Chen tossed the apple core into the trash can, the cynical smile on his face finally replaced by sincere and gentle happiness:

"Xinghe, Yueying."

"These names sound much better than Dachui and Xiaohua."

"From now on, our children will be called this."

The noise in the hospital room subsided in an instant.

The two elderly ladies looked at the two names, muttered them twice, and couldn't find any faults; instead, they felt they sounded better the more they heard them.

"Xinghe… Yueying…"

Liu Yulan touched the little one's rosy cheeks in the swaddling clothes, laughing until tears came out:

"Good! Good names! In the future, our little Xinghe and little Yueying must be like stars and the moon, shining forever!"

"Of course."

Jiang Chen pulled Academician Chen Shuyin into his arms and kissed her forehead gently.

His heart had never felt so settled.

He had money, a family, and now names.

Jiang Chen, his life was complete.

Just as he was immersed in the joy of being a father, preparing to send red envelopes to his classmates who were "godsons and goddaughters" in the group chat, his phone suddenly vibrated.

On the screen, the communicator from the "Wasteland Plane," which had been silent for a long time, suddenly emitted a strange, static-filled signal.

"Beep—!"

"Father God! Father God! Something big happened!"

Grand Commander Lei Zhen's voice came from across the galaxy, full of fear and anxiety, with the indistinct roar of some creature in the background.

"Her Majesty Jiang Wanqiu… she is gone!"

"To find you in the God Realm, she not only took all the capital ships but also… also tied all ten thousand newly recruited 'Alien Combat Engineers' onto the ships!"

"She's crazy! She's really going to cross the plane to hack someone!"

The smile on Jiang Chen's face froze instantly.

He looked at the list of red-cross alerts on his phone screen.

This is no longer a celebration of the children's birth?

This is clearly… a Shura field where the ex-wife comes to hack the current wife, about to descend!

"It's over."

Jiang Chen closed his eyes in despair and cursed under his breath.

"It seems this full-month banquet won't be a peaceful one."
