The next day was the day before the official filming of Bright Stars. The netizens enthusiastically found out that Jian Xingsuis Weibo name has been officially certified to be changed!
The name [Shen Xingsui] appeared in the public eye for the first time, and it immediately caused an uproar. Many of them started countless discussions and gossip about his life experience.
[Did you go back to your biological parents home?]
[Ahh so your surname is Shen now!]
[Wow, I think Shen Xingsui has a nice ring into it!]
Someone 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 became the number one hot comment.
Many people below also echoed:
[It was very similar even before the name change. But now, the similarity is uncanny!]
[I agree!]
[But isnt Shen Xingchens older brother called Shen Minglang?]
[Truly fated, arent they? The two stars revolving around a sun and a moon~]
[Very family-like! I like it!]
This statement 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 Xingsuis luck could really be so good. Especially when they remembered he used to be swapped with Anrans Jian family. There couldnt be such a coincidence, could there?
Some netizens boldly said:
[Then Suisui shouldnt 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 hasnt been filmed, many netizens forgot this old meme it was poking fun at how these brothers Shen Xingchen and Jian Xingsui really did look blood-related.
Now that some netizens brought up this old news, people suddenly started remembering. 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 something in her hand. his hand. He moved over in curiosity and saw the white name tag in his mothers hand. It should be a name tag he would wear during the Bright Stars filming.
Seeing him coming down, Shen Xingchen beckoned, Come here and see your name tag.
When Jian Xingsui came down, he saw the white name tag with black letters on a white background, spelling his name: 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! Come here.
Jian Xingsui hesitated for a moment, 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 name tag, looked at Jian Xingsui with moist eyes, and personally buckled it on Jian Xingsuis 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 name sounds like a pair of brothers. Does it mean 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 same generational1usually given as a prefix for the same generation of a family. Its for easier recognition during family gatherings. Like, in one generation, a boy and his two brothers + one cousin all have the same Xing- name, resulting: Xingchen, Xingsui, Xinglan, Xinglu, etc. name. Thats why it sounded extra special after the surname change.
Hearing this, Jian Xingsui was taken aback and let out a sweet smile. He was very, very glad for his name now. Its 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 name.
Xu Enzhen also had a smile on her face. She gave the child a big hug, and then said softly: Its not just a new name, 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 Xingsuis eyes deepened, and he nodded slightly.
After the heartwarming scene, Xu Enzhen then remembered her original reason to come here. She brought out a measuring tape, then called out for his son to come closer, Come here, boys. Mom needs your new measurements.
There were always various handmade products in the halls of the Shen family. It was Xu Enzhens hobby. Now, she was aiming to make something new for the two of them, It will be winter soon. When you two come back, Mom can make new winter clothes and hats for you.
Shen Xingchen said: Mom, I dont need embroidery on my gloves this time. The one you knitted for me last year still had small flowers embroidered on it. It looked too girly! Not manly at all!
Xu Enzhen glared at him.
Shen Xingsui didnt 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 childs 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: Im fine with anything.
He still hadnt 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 didnt dare to ask extravagantly or make any demands, for fear that others would think he was troublesome. He was too used to receiving scraps, until the container of his heart couldnt accept this amount of love all at once.
Xu Enzhen rubbed Shen Xingsuis 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, Dont worry, although our Mother is not good at cooking, her handcraft is top-notch. One of our familys businesses is clothing and accessories, and she occasionally puts some of her handcraft for sale, and theyre 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. Youre on the dot. Our Mom is a very homebody 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 theyre all hand-made, theres only always one copy of each craft, which only makes her craft even more expensive.
Shen Xingchen omitted one thing: when he said Xu Enzhens crafts were expensive, he actually meant it sold for a ridiculously high price.
One of the reasons for the sky-high price was scarcity. Mrs. Xu didnt 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 time.
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 sometimes be. With proper care and education, it was no wonder that both Shen brothers grew up to be exceptional people with a kind heart.
