Chapter 191

Perhaps it was some kind of telepathic reaction, as soon as the child left, Jiang Zhinian suddenly woke up.

"Shi Ye..."

Zheng Chengfei quickly explained, "Shi Ye has taken the baby to get a newborn screening. He'll be back soon."

He pointed to the delivery bag on the table and said, "I've brought everything for you. Ask Shi Ye to get whatever you need later."

Jiang Zhinian smiled and thanked him.

Zheng Chengfei looked at the IV drip, then sat aside, patted his thigh with one hand and began to ramble, "Come to think of it, you definitely don't know what Shi Ye looked like when you gave birth. Seriously, I've known him for so long, and this is the first time I've seen him like that."

Jiang Zhinian blinked: "Your tone sounds like the one in the domineering CEO novel..."

"Boss?"

"The boss's butler...is specifically responsible for telling the heroine, 'This is the first time I've seen the young master so attentive to a woman.'"

Zheng Chengfei stroked his chin and thought carefully about what he had just said. Damn, it seemed to be quite interesting.

They are all poisoned by TV dramas.

"But what I said is true. Shi Ye was really not right at that time. You know, he is usually a killer in the operating room. Of course, students like us are not allowed to do it, but you know these professors, they like to ask questions while the interns are observing the operation. My god, that tests your mental endurance, but Shi Ye is extremely calm and can answer any questions."

Zheng Chengfei couldn't help but shudder as he recalled the scene. He shook his head, "I heard that the power went out as soon as Shi Ye entered the operating room yesterday. Even when Director Su asked him to come over to cut the baby's umbilical cord, his hands were shaking. Can you believe that the future top surgeon in our hospital is shaking? Oh my god... Oh, by the way, I was the one who gave Shi Shen the title of top surgeon. Please tell Shi Shen about this flattery I gave you later. Thank you."

Jiang Zhinian looked at the ceiling, looking thoughtful.

Just at this moment, Shi Ye came back pushing the baby, and Jiang Zhinian stopped breathing and thinking.

Zheng Chengfei kept his distance and moved closer to take a look: "Hey, little darling, why are you crying? You look so sad..."

It would have been better if he didn't say anything. The little baby, who had been coaxed by Shi Ye, immediately screamed and started crying loudly when she heard someone "ridiculing" her.

Jiang Zhinian was anxious: "Shi Ye, the baby is crying..."

Before she could finish her words, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach.

Shi Ye saw the pain that flashed across her face and quickly picked up the baby: "I'll take her out to comfort her."

After a woman has just given birth, hearing the baby's cry can easily cause uterine contractions, which in turn causes pain. This is a strange connection.

"Shi Ye, are you hungry? Do you want me to try to feed her?" So much time has passed, there should be... milk, right?

Shi Ye played some white noise on his phone and quickly coaxed the baby into a good sleep: "Don't worry, she's not hungry yet."

Zheng Chengfei felt like he wasn't very popular with the little darling, as he'd made her cry the moment he arrived. He had no choice but to stand up and scratch his head. "Well, I'll be leaving first. Corey has something else to do. Call me if you need anything. I'll be there right away!"

Jiang Zhinian thanked him again, and after Zheng Chengfei left, she couldn't take her eyes off the baby.

"Shi Ye, I can't sleep. Can you let the baby lie with me for a while?"

Shi Ye put the child next to her pillow. Jiang Zhinian moved slightly and turned her head to look at the baby.

"How heavy is she?"

"Six pounds, just right."

Jiang Zhinian nodded, breathed softly, and didn't dare to speak again for fear of waking the person up again.

The ward returned to silence. Shi Ye looked indifferently at the mother and daughter on the hospital bed, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.

“This is my entire connection to the world.”

Looking away, Shi Ye took the iPad from the bedside table and continued reading the paper.

Jiang Zhinian waited for a while, and after making sure that Shi Ye was not looking at her, she secretly glanced at him, feeling only inexplicable satisfaction and... a little expectation in her heart.

From then on, they will raise their children together in that small and warm home. Just like a tree grows rings one by one, their children will grow up little by little, learn to walk, learn to talk, and then hold their hands and call mom and dad.

…

In the middle of the night, Jiang Zhinian was awakened by the baby's crying. She was hungry and wanted to drink milk.

However, Jiang Zhinian didn’t have any milk to give her, so Shi Ye had to prepare milk powder.

Because Jiang Zhinian had done his homework in advance and bought a milk warmer to keep the water for making milk powder warm, Shi Ye made the milk very quickly. After the child cried a few times, the pacifier was put in his mouth and he started to drink it.

"She's so strong... Look at the way she drinks milk."

Shi Ye sat beside the bed, and Jiang Zhinian stared at the baby drinking milk without blinking. She had tried to feed the baby once during the day with the doctor's permission, and at that time she found that the baby's mouth suction was really strong.

Unfortunately, the baby didn't drink anything. All the effort was in vain. Thinking of this, Jiang Zhinian felt a little anxious: "Shi Ye, when do you think I can feed her?"

"Don't worry, drink more water. This kind of thing is different for everyone."

That being said, Jiang Zhinian couldn't help but be anxious. What if the baby got used to the pacifier and didn't want to drink her breast milk?

After Shi Ye finished feeding, he put a clean handkerchief on his shoulder, then stood the baby up on his shoulder and patted his back gently.

Soon, Jiang Zhinian heard a loud burp, which meant he was full.

After the baby fell asleep in the cradle, Shi Ye came to Jiang Zhinian's bedside and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet? Does the wound hurt?"

Jiang Zhinian shook her head. She had taken painkillers before going to bed at night, and the pain was not very obvious now.

"Maybe I slept too much during the day. Don't worry about me. Go and rest."

Because the birth was sudden, the confinement nanny had not finished her previous job yet, and she could only come after she was discharged from the hospital. Shi Ye would have to work hard to take care of the baby for the next few days, and Jiang Zhinian wanted him to rest quickly.

Shi Ye didn't go to sleep. Instead, he sat down and touched Jiang Zhinian's face.

“I feel scared today, too.”

This was the second time Shi Ye told her that he was scared.

He leaned back in his chair, holding Jiang Zhinian's hand, as if lost in some memories.

"I've seen many surgeries and witnessed many experiences of birth, aging, illness, and death. I didn't feel the fear of death before, I just felt like a leaf falling into the mud. But when you entered the operating room, I suddenly understood why some people would squat at the door crying, and why some people would kneel down and beg the doctor to save their lives."

Jiang Zhinian's heart moved, and he suddenly said, "Shi Ye, that photo, the one you took with your mother in England when you were five years old, the words on the back were written by you, right?"

"If you could do it again, would you regret it?"

Shi Ye nodded: "Yes, after my mother passed away, I came across this photo and wrote this casually."

He didn't know why he wrote that line.

Jiang Zhinian suddenly shed tears. She was so silly. Shi Ye's reserved and sincere feelings had actually been in front of her from the very beginning.

But at that time she didn't understand, she didn't comprehend, and she really thought that Shi Ye didn't understand feelings and had no feelings.

Just ask yourself, how can a person who has no feelings for his mother care whether his mother regrets it or not?

Shi Ye's feelings are as pure and transparent as water, but that doesn't mean he doesn't exist.

Shi Ye reached out to wipe Jiang Zhinian's tears, but Jiang Zhinian grabbed his hand back: "Shi Ye, you are not without anything, your pockets are already full..."
