Arrogant and domineering because of his good looks: His Majesty always pretends to be righteous

In the evening, Xia Zhishu returned from school with a joyful expression and entered the main room.

"Aunt Wang, Mother," Xia Zhishu greeted them, then looked at the two children playing nearby.

"Yuanxiao, come here." Xia Zhishu beckoned to Xia Yuanxiao, who obediently went over. Xia Zhishu took Xia Yuanxiao's hand. "Yuanxiao, you have a name now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Rongliu dropped the melon seeds in her hand onto the table, making both Old Madam Xia and Aunt Wang happy.

"Dad, you're up so quickly? Aren't you going to think about it a little longer?" Xia Rongliu picked up a melon seed from the table and put it in her mouth.

Is Xia Yuanxiao's name going to be cut so soon?

"What do you mean 'fast'? It's not like it'll take months to come up with a name." Old Mrs. Xia then asked Xia Zhishu, "What name did you choose?"

Xia Zhishu squatted down so that his gaze could meet Xia Yuanxiao's, and looked at Xia Yuanxiao intently.

Xia Zhishu solemnly said, "From now on, your surname is Xia, your name is Xia Zhanxin, you will call me a member of my Xia family, call me Father, call your mother Grandmother, call my wife Lin Yue Mother, call Yin Yin Sister, and this lady is your Aunt Wang, do you understand?"

Xia Yuanxiao's pupils dilated involuntarily. This incident had a great impact on him. He felt that it would be good if someone could adopt him, especially since they cared about him a lot, but he never thought that they would seriously acknowledge him.

Xia Yuanxiao barely came to her senses. After all, she was still a child, and her experiences were different from most people's. Xia Zhanxin didn't know what to do for a moment.

Seeing the expectant eyes around him, he felt somewhat lost and scared. Xia Rongliu, who couldn't bear to watch any longer, mouthed to him, "Call me Daddy—say it!"

Through these few days of getting along, Xia Zhanxin and Xia Rongliu have developed a certain tacit understanding. Xia Zhanxin can see the simple lip movements, but he doesn't quite say "Dad" out loud.

Finally, Xia Zhanxin called out in a small voice, "Dad..."

You can't hear it from a little distance, but Xia Zhishu was standing very close. Hearing this, he burst into laughter and called out to his grandmother and Aunt Wang with Xia Zhanxin.

Everyone was beaming with joy, and calling Xia Rongliu "Sister Liu" came out so naturally. Just then, Lin Yue came over, looking at everyone with a completely bewildered expression.

"Did I miss something happy? Why are they all smiling so happily?!" Just as Lin Yue was waiting for Xia Zhishu to tell her, Xia Rongliu nudged Xia Zhanxin's waist.

It's as if it's saying, "Go! Go!"

Xia Zhanxin blushed even more, tugged at Lin Yue's sleeve, and called out in a voice barely louder than a mosquito's buzz, "Mother..."

Lin Yue's mind raced, and she looked at Xia Zhanxin with surprise, "Wow, you can call out now?! From now on, you have to do it like this, and make your voice even louder."

Xia Zhanxin's face turned even redder.

“I’ve given him a formal name, officially making him a member of our Xia family,” Xia Zhishu explained, clinging to Lin Yue’s shoulder.

Lin Yue tapped Xia Zhishu's chest with some disappointment, "Why didn't you wait for me to come with you on such an important matter? I'm the only one who's absent."

"Oh dear, I couldn't wait any longer. Your arrival is just in time. There's one more thing." Xia Zhishu cleared his throat. "Well, I can say that I'm a teacher at a school now, and I can teach students."

"Wow~ Really?" Xia Rongliu looked at Xia Zhishu, who nodded solemnly. Xia Rongliu was happy for her father, and Lin Yue was also happy.

The happiest person was Old Lady Xia, and Aunt Wang also chimed in, saying, "Your son is so successful! Now he has both a son and a daughter, and he has a bright future ahead of him."

Old Lady Xia said a few modest words, but her expression clearly showed how proud she was.

That night, Xia Zhanxin and Xia Rongliu slept in the same room again. Perhaps the shock of what happened during the day had not yet subsided for Xia Zhanxin, because even though it was almost midnight, she was still wide awake.

Turning his head to look in Xia Rongliu's direction, in the darkness, he could only see Xia Rongliu's general outline. She was facing Xia Zhanxin, breathing evenly.

The blankets and pillows separating them looked quite out of place. Xia Zhanxin kicked the blankets with her feet, trying to push them away, but she couldn't manage it.

He thought he wouldn't dare; he was afraid. If they found out that the bedding couldn't separate them, he might have to sleep separately from Xia Rongliu, and he didn't want that.

Xia Zhanxin leaned slightly towards the center; he was feeling sleepy, and his eyelids drooped as he drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, when Xia Zhanxin opened his eyes, he subconsciously looked at the place where Xia Rongliu had been sleeping. It was empty. Xia Zhanxin lowered his eyes, feeling a little lost. He couldn't explain why he felt lost.

The next second, the door was pushed open, and Xia Rongliu appeared in front of Xia Zhanxin. Seeing that Xia Zhanxin was awake, Xia Rongliu leaned closer and asked, "Awake?"

Xia Zhanxin, who was feeling down just a second ago, was instantly healed. Startled by Xia Rongliu's sudden close approach, and seeing that their faces were almost touching, two blushes quickly crept onto Xia Zhanxin's face.

Xia Rongliu stepped back slightly, finding Xia Zhanxin's reaction somewhat amusing. She cupped Xia Zhanxin's face in her hands with a mischievous grin and said, "Why is your face always so red?" She then pinched it.

Xia Zhanxin's face turned even redder.

"Get up quickly, it's time to eat!" Xia Rongliu said, then ran out of the house in a hurry.

Xia Zhanxin smiled as she watched Xia Rongliu's carefree figure disappear into the distance. She sat on the bed for a while before getting dressed.

A month has passed...

It was already the Spring Equinox, and people were no longer wearing thick cotton-padded coats. In the Xia family's courtyard, Xia Rongliu, wearing a new dress, ran up to Xia Zhanxin.

"How is it? Doesn't it look good?" This dress was made by Lin Yue herself. She chose soft, pure cotton fabric, and the light green color made Xia Rongliu look vibrant and energetic.

She wore a light green veil over her clothes, which added to her ethereal beauty. Combined with Xia Rongliu's striking good looks, she appeared like a fairy who had descended to earth.

Xia Zhanxin was stunned. After a moment, she blushed and replied, "It's beautiful, it's beautiful."

Xia Rongliu tilted her head and leaned closer. "You, how long have you been here and you still blush? You just can't seem to shake this habit." Xia Rongliu pinched Xia Zhanxin's cheek.

Over the past month, I've finally managed to fatten Xia Zhanxin up quite a bit. Although she's still very thin, she's much better than a skinny skeleton. It feels really nice to pinch her cheeks.

"I don't know why I..."

"Alright, you're actually quite cute when you blush. Let's go, let's take Daddy's lunch!" Xia Rongliu said enthusiastically, picking up a lunchbox.

Xia Zhanxin also picked up the lunchbox next to her, and the two of them walked one after the other with their lunchboxes, heading towards the school.

At first, Xia Rongliu was quite well-behaved, but later she started to slack off, sitting on a roadside stone and refusing to move.

"Why is the school so, so far from home?" Xia Rongliu sighed, propping her head up with her hand.
