Everyone held their breath, watching the four babies on stage.
At first, the eldest baby was a bit confused and didn't know what to do. Standing on the stage, he started to panic when he realized all eyes were on him.
Lin Feng walked over to him. "Go on," he said gently, "pick something you like."
With his father by his side, the little boy felt braver. He looked around curiously at the dazzling array of items before him.
In the traditional choosing ceremony, the first item a baby picks is considered their choice. However, some standards differ, instead going by the object the baby plays with the longest.
The eldest baby looked back and forth, hesitating for a long time before finally choosing a glass seal. It was an ordinary seal, distinguished only by a round, clear orb on top that sparkled under the lights. Perhaps for this reason, the baby picked it up and examined it closely. He didn't pick up anything else, indicating the seal was his final choice.
