The moment the door opened, he practically crashed inside.

"How's my wife?!"

The doctor was so startled that he took a half step back. Before he could even speak, Fu Senran had already rushed past him and into the room, without even glancing at the newborn child.

"Mr. Fu! You can't go in yet!"

The nurse's exclamation was left behind. The moment Fu Senran burst open the operating room door, the blinding white light of the sterile lamp pierced his pupils.

The stench of blood assaulted his nostrils, and his gaze searched frantically before finally settling on the small figure on the operating table.

Zi Xi's face was even paler than the white sheet beneath her, and her eyes were closed, making her look like a corpse.

"My wife... my wife... does she still have a heartbeat???"

He grabbed the nearest doctor hoarsely, his nails digging almost into the doctor's flesh, his voice strained.

"I want to hear her heartbeat!!"

The regular beeping of the monitor was exceptionally clear in the deathly silence, but Fu Senran paid no attention to it.

With trembling hands, he lifted the blanket and carefully pressed his head against Zi Xi's cold chest.

"Bang...bang...bang..."

With the steady heartbeat in his ears, Fu Senran knelt down beside the operating table as if his bones had been removed.

"President Fu..."

The anesthesiologist held up the newborn, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

The man who had been slumped over the operating table collapsed to the ground.

The operating room was in chaos, and Mu Yu staggered around, busy resolving all of President Fu's problems.

He won't give me a big bonus or raise; whoever gets a bigger one gets one!

When Fu Senran opened his eyes, the first thing he felt was the warm touch on the back of his hand.

Zi Xi looked on with heartache, gently tracing the bluish skin around the IV needle with her fingertips.

"Hey, who's awake?"

Seeing that he was awake, Zi Xi, whose face was flushed, immediately withdrew her hand, her eyebrows raised high.

"Honey, how are you?"

Fu Senran's vision was still somewhat unfocused. He subconsciously reached out to touch her face, but Zi Xi immediately and gently took it back.

What can I do?

"I'm perfectly fine, but some young man who's as strong as an ox fainted while holding me in the operating room?"

"Huh? Sen Sen, you little crybaby!"

Zi Xi deliberately kept a straight face. She suddenly leaned closer, her nose almost touching his. Fu Senran could see the teasing in her eyes.

His ear tips turned red immediately, and he opened his mouth as if to argue, but in the end he just lowered his eyelashes and softly hummed in agreement.

"What 'hmm'?! Our little cutie's dad is a crybaby? Go back and feed him spicy blood curd and duck blood vermicelli soup for a month to desensitize him!"

Zi Xi poked his chest.

They've already chosen names for the fruits of their love: Cool Baby for the boy and Beautiful Baby for the girl, meaning they're the coolest and most beautiful babies in the universe.

"It's not that I'm afraid of blood."

Fu Senran suddenly grabbed her mischievous fingers, pulled them to his lips, and kissed them.

What is that?

Zi Xi withdrew her hand and looked at him with a smile.

Fu Senran raised his eyes, his dark pupils still filled with lingering fear: "I was afraid you would turn into a butterfly and fly away."

"Hahahaha, Fu Senran, are you spouting cheesy pickup lines?! You're despicable! My cheesy pickup line vocabulary still needs improvement, while you've already graduated, haven't you?!"

Zi Xi was taken aback, then burst out laughing. With Fu Senran's brains, he must have memorized all the cheesy pickup lines by now!

He reached out and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, his voice muffled: "I didn't. If I wanted to learn, I wouldn't do it behind your back. Mu Yu just taught me to say it."

The sun was shining brightly outside the window when the little one in the crib suddenly babbled a few times. Fu Senran froze, completely forgetting his presence.
