Chapter 343 Suddenly Became a Father

Zhou Xiye went on a business trip, and then had a few days off, so he went home to visit his family.

Along the way, he imagined many scenarios that would happen when he got home.

He was thinking of going home at this time, but Jiang Zhizhi was probably not home; she might be at the hospital. He would go find her as soon as he got back and put his things down.

I never expected that the scene upon entering the hospital would be like this.

A little guy wearing a light blue sweater quickly crawled to his feet and hugged his leg like a little bear.

In the middle of the yard, on a blanket, sat a chubby little guy, hugging a rubber rabbit and biting its ears while giggling.

Zhou Xiye froze, too afraid to move, too afraid to think about where the two children had come from.

He looked down at the little guy sitting on his feet, hugging his legs, looking up at him with his little face, his little face pink and tender, grinning with his little mouth, and drool dripping onto his trouser leg.

Zhou Chengyu and Fang Hua were surprised to see Zhou Xiye return suddenly. They stood up in surprise and were about to speak when they saw Xiao Zhou suddenly step back a little and lower his head.

Fang Hua didn't care about anything else and quickly shouted, "Quick, pick him up, he's going to chew on your shoelaces."

Zhou Xiye casually tossed aside his bag, bent down, and quickly picked up the child, a soft little bundle, whose body smelled of soap powder and milk.

The moment he was pulled into her arms, his heart softened, yet also ached.

I had a feeling that these two children weren't just neighbors visiting.

Xiao Zhou turned around and looked at the person hugging him, but he didn't recognize them!

Her little mouth twitched, and she struggled to turn around and find Fang Hua, stretching out her little arms to hug him.

Although they are carried around by everyone every day, the two children are still shy around strangers. When a stranger holds them for the first time, they cry as if they are being kidnapped.

Fang Hua knew the kids' tempers. Seeing Xiao Zhou whimpering, she quickly came over and took the child, looking Zhou Xiye up and down: "Why did you suddenly come back? You didn't even call?"

Zhou Xiye swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly as he asked, "Mom, where did these two children come from?"

Zhou Chengyu exclaimed in surprise, picked up Shangshang and came over, looking at Zhou Xiye with a smile through her tears: "What do you mean, where did they come from? These are your and Zhizhi's children. This is the older sister, and that is the younger brother."

Zhou Xiye had guessed this would be the result, but he still couldn't believe it.

The discomfort that had been building up in my heart just now amplified infinitely, and the pain felt like it was about to burst my chest.

So, when he left, Jiang Zhizhi was already pregnant, and for more than a year, she endured pregnancy and childbirth alone, never telling him anything.

Perhaps she had already said it, such as the last sentence in the letter, "We miss you," or the sentence behind the photo, "We miss you."

The "we" she referred to wasn't her and Fang Hua, but rather her and the children.

His eyes also started to sting, and as he stared at the two children, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Fang Hua's eyes reddened: "Let's go home first, we'll talk when we get home."

Carrying the two children back into the house, Zhou Xiye sat down, looking at Xiao Zhouji on Fang Hua's lap and then at Shang Shang on Zhou Chengyu's lap.

The two children looked at him with the same curiosity, thinking he was teasing them. Suddenly, they giggled and twisted their little bodies in unison, each snuggling into Fang Hua and Zhou Chengyu's arms, laughing.

Zhou Xiye sat up straight, his hands on his knees, his fingers slightly curled, revealing his nervousness.

Zhou Chengyu smiled at Zhou Xiye: "What are you doing sitting there? Come over here quickly. These two are strangers to you, so they are quite wary. They'll get used to you in a little while."

He then patted Shangshang's little head and said, "Shangshang, this is Daddy, Daddy, come and see."

When Zhou Xiye heard the word "father," his mind went blank for a moment. He watched as the soft, sweet little girl turned her head, giggled, and looked at him. Then she suddenly turned around and snuggled into Zhou Chengyu's arms, babbling happily.

Zhou Xiye was both nervous and amazed. After a while, he went over and sat down next to Zhou Chengyu, gently touching the little girl's hand: "What are their names?"

Fang Hua smiled and said, "Our son will be named Xiao Zhouji, and our daughter will be named Shangshang."

Zhou Xiye paused for a moment: "Which character?"

Fang Hua explained the names of the two children again.

Shang Shang felt someone holding her little hand, and she giggled and turned around, her big, bright eyes staring at Zhou Xiye. She turned around very lively, and suddenly twisted her little body, wanting Zhou Xiye to hug her.

Zhou Xiye paused for a moment, then picked up Shangshang. The little girl sat on his lap, swaying her small body, stuffing her little hands into her mouth and munching away, while her little feet wiggled back and forth.

There's no time to rest.

Zhou Chengyu sighed, "It's just that biological children are different. Look how little time has passed, and Shangshang already wants to be held."

Fang Hua looked at her son, who was sitting upright, and then at Shang Shang in his arms. Her eyes reddened again, and she nodded: "Yes, our Shang Shang is a very delicate little girl. Not just anyone can hold her."

Even now, Zhou Xiye still felt a sense of unreality, with a soft, delicate child in his arms, one little hand tightly gripping his fingers.

It distracted his thoughts, drawing him out of his reverie and making him realize that it was real.

During the year or so he was away, Jiang Zhizhi did indeed give birth to a son and a daughter for him.

The usually calm and composed man's eyes reddened at this moment, and he held his daughter, unable to speak for a long time.

Seeing that Zhou Xiye's eyes were red, Fang Hua quickly picked up Xiao Zhouji and came over: "Xiao Zhouji, look at Daddy, Daddy is holding your sister, do you want Daddy to hold you too?"

Little Zhou Ji turned around and glanced at Zhou Xiye, then quickly twisted his little body and hugged Fang Hua tightly, as if afraid that this stranger would take him away.

Fang Hua couldn't help but laugh and explain to Zhou Xiye, "Little Zhou is a mischievous person. He just doesn't like being hugged by people he doesn't know well. He'll get used to it."

Zhou Xiye felt a lump in his throat. He held Shangshang and reached out to touch his son's head, asking, "Why are you called Little Zhou Ji?"

This name feels... a bit hasty.

Fang Hua explained with a smile: "Zhi Zhi said that you all agreed that if the child was born on Monday, he would be called Monday, and if he was born on Tuesday, he would be called Tuesday. Later, because they were born early, Zhi Zhi said that his nickname would be Little Weekly, so that everyone could guess which week he was born on."

Zhou Xiye: "..."

Compared to the daughter's meaningful name, the son's name was obviously quite casual.

It's so casual, it's as if they named their child based on whatever they saw on the day they were born.

Suddenly, Shang Shang grabbed his finger, put it in her mouth and bit it gently with her little teeth, making giggling noises as saliva dripped down the corner of her mouth.

Zhou Xiye was somewhat surprised, while Zhou Chengyu laughed beside him: "Our Shangshang is grinding her teeth. The little one is very naughty. She knows that biting her finger will hurt, so she will deliberately bite other people."
