Lin Qingyu woke up the next day at noon, lying weakly in her hospital bed.

Before I even opened my eyes, I heard the baby crying loudly. I don't know why.

She had barely made a move when she heard Gu Shi's voice calling her.

"Qingyu, are you awake? Are you hungry?"

Lin Qingyu struggled to open her eyes, and what came into view was Gu Shi's unshaven face.

"I thought I was hallucinating. You've been sleeping for so long, even the doctor was scared."

Gu Shi sat by the bedside, watching over Lin Qingyu, while Li Xiuhua took care of the children.

Lin Qingyu nodded and then looked in the direction of the child's crying.

Li Xiuhua was changing the baby's diaper. The fabric was one that she and Lin Qingyu had picked out together; it was very soft.

"Qingyu, you're awake! The baby pooped, let me wash her bottom."

Li Xiuhua also wanted to see Lin Qingyu, but the child kept whimpering, so she could only change the child's clothes first.

Lin Qingyu smiled and nodded, then said, "Why is your crying so loud? You should become a singer in the future!"

Gu Shi was relieved to see that she was still in the mood to joke, and that she should be fine.

Afterwards, he found a doctor to examine Lin Qingyu.

Lin Qingyu should have woken up much earlier, but for some reason, she couldn't be woken up.

The doctors performing the surgery were all a little nervous, especially the anesthesiologist, who came to check on Lin Qingyu several times.

I'm finally awake now, and I don't have to be so worried anymore. I checked the incision again, and there's nothing wrong with it.

They were told that he couldn't eat or drink anything, and could only receive intravenous fluids to replenish his energy.

Lin Qingyu was actually starving, but she had no choice. The doctor wouldn't let her eat or drink, so she had to do as the doctor said.

Li Xiuhua changed the baby's clothes, and the little girl was drinking milk with her eyes closed again.

Li Xiuhua held the baby and awkwardly fed the baby from the bottle. Then she sat down next to Lin Qingyu and asked her to take a good look at the baby.

"It's so small!"

Lin Qingyu felt it was a miracle; when her child was born yesterday, a nurse brought him to her for a look.

But she couldn't remember at all. When she looked at the baby today, she saw that the baby wasn't ugly at all. The baby was sucking on the baby's lips and drinking milk even when asleep.

“Children all grow up this small. You were even smaller than her when you were little, weighing less than five pounds, and you were dark-skinned and wrinkled!”

Li Xiuhua said in a low voice. Lin Qingyu was a little embarrassed. She had just moved when the incision on her stomach started hurting so much that she hissed.

Gu Shi was initially quite curious about her childhood, but upon hearing Lin Qingyu's painful gasps, he tenderly stroked her head.

"It's okay, it's okay. Don't move. I'll help you. Do you want to turn over?"

Lin Qingyu gritted her teeth and nodded, remaining in a supine position, even though she was in excruciating pain.

Gu Shi changed her position, which took five minutes, and Lin Qingyu was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat.

That was so agonizing.

She then remembered that she still didn't know who was the culprit who had caused her to become like this, so she quickly looked at Gu Shi again.

Did you see someone push me yesterday?

Gu Shi nodded. "I will handle this matter. You just need to focus on recovering. I will let you know the results later."

Lin Qingyu wanted to intervene, but her body wouldn't allow it. She wanted to kill her enemy with her own hands, but now she could only lie in bed, enduring the pain from the knife wound.

Lin Qingyu stayed in the hospital for another five days, and her wounds healed much better.

She was able to walk again, so the doctor discharged her from the hospital.

During that time, all the restaurant staff came to see her, but they came in batches so as not to disturb her and her child.

Gu Shi also went out, but I don't know what he did. He usually went out while Lin Qingyu was sleeping.

On the day they returned home, Gu Shi carried her in his arms and didn't let her feet touch the ground until they were in the car.

Li Xiuhua carried her child all the way home.

Lin Qingyu was in her postpartum confinement period in the couple's bedroom, and it was the height of summer.

"Xiaoyu, we can't turn on the fan, it'll be bad if it blows on you."

Lin Qingyu was unbearably hot, and the child also developed many rashes from the heat.

"Mom, that's all outdated stuff. The doctor specifically said today that we can turn on the fan, just don't point it directly at me and the baby."

She hurriedly defended herself, saying that if she wasn't allowed to stay cool throughout her entire postpartum period, not only would she be unable to bear it, but even the baby wouldn't be able to stand it!

"Besides, the hospital is still open, just not in the wards. See, everyone is fine, right?"

Li Xiuhua anxiously stopped Lin Qingyu, afraid that she would walk over and turn on the ceiling fan.

"That won't do. If you catch a cold, you'll develop health problems later!"

"Didn't you say that if I catch a cold, I'll just cool off, and I won't catch a cold!"

Lin Qingyu looked at the child again and said, "Mother, look at the child, he's so hot, his face is covered in red rashes, and his body is covered in them. What did the doctor say today?"

Li Xiuhua dared not speak, and could only watch as Lin Qingyu took off the child's hat.

"It's so hot, not to mention the children, even the adults aren't wearing hats indoors, so they won't catch a cold. Don't worry!"

Gu Shi had specifically asked the doctor, who said it was okay to turn on the fan, otherwise he would definitely get heatstroke in such hot weather, and would be more likely to get sick.

He had already spent a lot of money to buy a floor fan.

Gu Shi turned on the ceiling fan in the living room and installed a table fan, placing it at the doorway and blowing it inwards, which lowered the temperature slightly.

Lin Qingyu wasn't dressed very warmly, just in thin long sleeves, which provided some protection from the wind.

Gu Xichao happened to be home today, and he was unaware that Lin Qingyu had given birth.

He was stunned when he heard the child crying as soon as he entered the door, thinking he had gone to the wrong house.

"Uncle, did Auntie have a baby?"

He stood blankly at the door, listening to the crying coming from inside the house, and then saw Gu Shi squatting on the ground washing diapers.

"Yes, something unexpected happened, and I didn't have time to tell you."

Li Xiuhua was stewing pig's trotters for Lin Qingyu, a dish meant to promote lactation.

After learning what had happened from Gu Shi, Gu Xichao said he could also help.

He took Lin Qingyu's pulse, and her body was indeed weak.

Gu Xichao wrote out a prescription and instructed Li Xiuhua not to make too much soup for Lin Qingyu.

"Auntie shouldn't drink soup. Grandma, please cook her normal meals with less oil and salt. Drinking too much soup will hinder her recovery!"

He spoke rather tactfully, but fortunately Li Xiuhua listened to him and didn't force Lin Qingyu to drink the soup anymore.

After that, Gu Shi went out with him to deal with that matter.

Wu Lili ran home, but the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, so she ran straight back to her own home.

Her family owns a seafood stall at the Xinshi City market; they're quite wealthy, but they just don't give her any money.

Gu Shi had already received the news, and he planned to go directly to the hospital where Wu Lili worked. Although she had been dismissed, the formalities had not yet been completed.
