Too much had happened over the past year. Chen Feng spoke for an entire night, yet he still had not finished.
Not until the sound of the baby moving its tiny hands and feet disturbed them.
On the second day after the baby was born, when the little one woke for the second time, Ai Qinglan suddenly thought of a question.
"What... should we name the child?"
Chen Feng froze. "Ah, I forgot about that."
Ai Qinglan's eyes widened. "I was unconscious, so I didn't know, but weren't you awake the whole time, Little Feng? How could you forget something like that?"
"At first, I was worried about you, so I wasn't in the mood to think about it. Then, when I saw you getting better, I wanted to discuss it with you." Chen Feng scratched his head. "I meant to bring it up yesterday, but I forgot once things got busy."
"You forgot?" Ai Qinglan shot him a glare.
"Didn't you forget too, Sister Lan?"
"I... I never even thought there would be a child!"
The two of them stared at each other, wide-eyed.
"It seems... there's no rush."
"At least he needs a childhood name, right? Otherwise, it'll be hard to address him!"
Under Divine Land law, a newborn had to be registered and issued certification, but did not need to be named immediately.
In ancient times, a child was not given a formal name until three months after birth, though this standard was never strictly enforced. Many poor families did not name their children until they attended private school.
Before then, they were all addressed by childhood names.
After the Immortal Alliance dismantled the secular imperial dynasties and established a new government, this standard changed slightly. Household registration had to be completed before the child's first birthday.
