The next day was the day before the official filming of "Bright Stars". The netizens enthusiastically found out that Jian Xingsui's Weibo na has been officially certified to be changed!
The na [Shen Xingsui] appeared in the public eye for the first ti, and it imdiately caused an uproar. Many of them started countless discussions and gossip about his life experience.
[Did you go back to your biological parents' ho?]
[Ahh so your surna is Shen now!]
[Wow, I think Shen Xingsui has a nice ring into it!]
Soone shot a wild guess, [Do you think that Shen Xingchen and Shen Xingsui, who have always been called brothers, sound like actual brothers?]
This guess quickly beca the number one hot comnt.
Many people below also echoed:
[It was very similar even before the na change. But now, the similarity is uncanny!]
[I agree!]
[But isn't Shen Xingchen's older brother called Shen Minglang?]
[Truly fated, aren't they? The two stars revolving around a sun and a moon~]
[Very family-like! I like it!]
This statent quickly gained the support of the public. But the netizen quickly realized that the Shen family is a top wealthy family, and most people would not think Shen Xingsui's luck could really be so good. Especially when they rembered he used to be swapped with Anran's Jian family. There couldn't be such a coincidence, could there?
So netizens boldly said:
[Then… Suisui shouldn't be the child of that Shen family?]
[Yeah, such a level of coincidence is basically unheard of.]
[But have you guys forgotten it already? Everyone agreed in the beginning that Shen Xingsui and Shen Xingchen looked alike!]
Those words awakened the deniers. Because "Starlight" has ended for quite a while and this new reality show hasn't been fild, many netizens forgot this old – it was poking fun at how these "brothers" Shen Xingchen and Jian Xingsui really did look blood-related.
Now that so netizens brought up this old news, people suddenly started rembering. This caused a chain reaction that sent Shen Xingsui into the hot search again.
The Shen family was busy while everyone was guessing. Xu Enzhen was packing up for her two children who were about to go for filming.
When Jian Xingsui went downstairs, he saw that Xu Enzhen was holding sothing in her hand. his hand. He moved over in curiosity and saw the white na tag in his mother's hand. It should be a na tag he would wear during the "Bright Stars" filming.
Seeing him coming down, Shen Xingchen beckoned, "Co here and see your na tag."
When Jian Xingsui ca down, he saw the white na tag with black letters on a white background, spelling his na: Shen Xingsui.
Shen Xingchen smiled as he stood beside his younger brother. "The Chinese character for 'Shen' is very pretty, much more pleasing to the eye than 'Jian'. Right, Mom?"
Xu Enzhen also had a gentle smile on her face, and she waved to Jian Xingsui and said, "My son! Co here."
Jian Xingsui hesitated for a mont, but he still walked towards his mother decisively. He obediently stood still in front of her, and breathed lightly. Perhaps for many people, this was just a word change, but for him, this was a very important event in his life.
Xu Enzhen held the new na tag, looked at Jian Xingsui with moist eyes, and personally buckled it on Jian Xingsui's waist, sighing slightly: "From today onwards, Suisui is completely a child of our family."
Shen Xingchen was leaning on the sofa beside him, half-joking: "Shen Xingsui, Shen Xingchen, hey, this na sounds like a pair of brothers. Does it an that no matter how far apart we are, we are destined to be brothers by fate? Look, even before officially living as a part of the Shen family, we already have the sa generational1usually given as a prefix for the sa generation of a family. It's for easier recognition during family gatherings. Like, in one generation, a boy and his two brothers one cousin all have the sa Xing- na, resulting: Xingchen, Xingsui, Xinglan, Xinglu, etc. na. That's why it sounded extra special after the surna change."
Hearing this, Jian Xingsui was taken aback and let out a sweet smile. He was very, very glad for his na now. It's like the last thread that fate threw at him to help him find his family that was separated. Now, he had a newfound appreciation of the "Xingsui" na.
Xu Enzhen also had a smile on her face. She gave the child a big hug, and then said softly: "It's not just a new na, Mom believes that we will have a new, happier life from now on. Everything in the past will be left behind."
The smile in Shen Xingsui's eyes deepened, and he nodded slightly.
After the heartwarming scene, Xu Enzhen then rembered her original reason to co here. She brought out a asuring tape, then called out for his son to co closer, "Co here, boys. Mom needs your new asurents."
There were always various handmade products in the halls of the Shen family. It was Xu Enzhen's hobby. Now, she was aiming to make sothing new for the two of them, "It will be winter soon. When you two co back, Mom can make new winter clothes and hats for you."
Shen Xingchen said: "Mom, I don't need embroidery on my gloves this ti. The one you knitted for last year still had small flowers embroidered on it. It looked too girly! Not manly at all!"
Xu Enzhen glared at him.
Shen Xingsui didn't say anything after hearing this, but when Xu Enzhen looked over, he said a little shyly, "Thank you, Mom."
Xu Enzhen was softened by the child's obedience and understanding, and asked gently: "Suisui, do you have any request? Mom can make any pattern or style you want."
Shen Xingsui shook his head slightly, and he said: "I'm fine with anything."
He still hadn't got used to such a level of spoiling, and probably never will. Those kinds of self-deprecating thoughts had rooted deep inside his heart, and it would take years to uproot the entire thing out.
For now, he still didn't dare to ask extravagantly or make any demands, for fear that others would think he was troubleso. He was too used to receiving scraps, until the container of his heart couldn't accept this amount of love all at once.
Xu Enzhen rubbed Shen Xingsui's head gently. "Okay, then Mom will decide it for you. I hope you will like it."
Shen Xingsui smiled at Xu Enzhen and nodded obediently.
On the way to the airport, Shen Xingchen saw that Jian Xingsui was still distracted, so he said, "Don't worry, although our Mother is not good at cooking, her handcraft is top-notch. One of our family's businesses is clothing and accessories, and she occasionally puts so of her handcraft for sale, and they're very popular items."
Shen Xingsui was surprised and said: "Ah, so those handcraft projects I saw lying around are all done by Mom?"
Shen Xingchen nodded, "Yup. You're on the dot. Our Mom is a very hobody type of person. Knitting, sewing, embroidery, crocheting… I think she has mastered them all. Furthermore, her crafts can be considered luxury goods because of how well-made and well-designed they are. Since they're all hand-made, there's only always one copy of each craft, which only makes her craft even more expensive."
Shen Xingchen omitted one thing: when he said Xu Enzhen's crafts were "expensive", he actually ant "it sold for a ridiculously high price".
One of the reasons for the sky-high price was scarcity. Mrs. Xu didn't like to sell her crafts to the outside world. She preferred to make it for her family, or make it into a house decor. Even if she had that talent and ability, she still preferred using it to knit two sweaters for her family in her spare ti.
Maybe this subtle act of affection was the reason that Shen Xingchen and Shen Minglang never felt unloved by their parents, despite how harsh they could sotis be. With proper care and education, it was no wonder that both Shen brothers grew up to be exceptional people with a kind heart.
