Shen Heng glanced at the wrinkled face briefly, but his expression didn't soften much.

Bai Shiqing went over and hugged it, asking, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"A boy! Congratulations on the birth of your son!"

The nurse had a sweet tongue, and when Shen Heng heard the boy's voice, his vision went black again.

"Brother-in-law, give me a hug."

Bai Shiqing wanted to hand the child to Shen Heng. Shen Heng swallowed and was about to take the child when Bai Jiaojiao was pushed out.

Shen Heng immediately withdrew his hand and took two steps to Bai Jiaojiao's bedside.

Fortunately, Bai Shiqing didn't let go, otherwise her nephew might have been killed.

"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, are you alright?"

Shen Heng had never seen Bai Jiaojiao's face like this before; it was flushed but she looked incredibly fragile and exhausted.

"It's nothing... Brother Heng."

With her last bit of strength, Bai Jiaojiao grabbed Shen Heng's hand and gently squeezed it.

"Push the pregnant woman back," the nurse who pushed the hospital bed out suggested.

Shen Heng's soul finally returned, and his eyes never left Bai Jiaojiao the whole way.

"It's a boy, just as you wished." Bai Jiaojiao smiled weakly.

"...Where do you feel uncomfortable right now? Are you hungry?"

"I'd like some water."

"well."

Shen Heng wanted to pour some water, but found his hands were empty.

“I’ve got everything ready,” Bai Shiqing said, taking out the water she had poured earlier and putting it in a thermos. It was now warm. As she handed it to her, she said, “Jiaojiao, you don’t know, your brother-in-law has been completely lost all afternoon. His mental fortitude is really terrible.”

This was the first time Shen Heng had ever made someone say something that made him a little embarrassed.

He should have been the one to prepare these postpartum items. In fact, Bai Shiqing was right to advise him; as a father, he had to stand up for himself.

This was the first time Shen Heng had ever felt so useless.

"Brother Heng, I'm fine, really fine."

Bai Jiaojiao said this, but her expression did not support her words.

Shen Heng knew that Bai Jiaojiao must be in terrible pain, but he was powerless to help.

Shen Heng held Bai Jiaojiao's hand, his head lowered. Bai Jiaojiao couldn't see his face, but could feel the warmth of his palm.

"Excuse me, Bai Jiaojiao's family member, could you move aside? We need to help the mother with her milk production."

“No, we don’t pump milk,” Shen Heng said.

When he looked up, Bai Jiaojiao noticed that his eyes were red.

"Huh? Don't cause trouble, family member." The nurse who came to help with the lactation looked at Shen Heng as someone not to be trifled with, and assumed he was deliberately making things difficult for her. "Didn't you hear your son crying?"

“I told you we don’t understand, we drink milk powder.”

Shen Heng repeated himself, showing no intention of arguing with the person.

This was something he and Bai Jiaojiao had discussed beforehand. Bai Jiaojiao spoke to the nurse in a more polite tone: "We brought milk powder."

She brought some luggage when she arrived, which made her much more rational than Chen Heng.

Shen Heng is not going to talk to him about anything right now. He only has eyes for Bai Jiaojiao, and all his functions are failing.

The nurse had never seen anything like it before. In all her years of experience, she had only ever seen people who were worried about not having enough milk and then resorting to formula, or whose babies' mouths were too small to drink breast milk. This was the first time she had ever seen a baby fail to breastfeed without even trying.

"Well, that's something you guys don't understand. Don't end up getting into trouble with our hospital."

The obstetrics and gynecology department is usually very busy, and the person left after finishing speaking.

"Are you really going to feed her formula from now on?" Bai Shiqing couldn't understand it either, and neither could anyone else. "Okay then, it'll be more convenient for Jiaojiao this way. Um, I'll go make some formula for the baby."

"Sis, everything is in that bag."

Her incomprehension was useless; she let Li Shu hold the baby while she opened her bag, took out formula and a baby bottle, and went out.

Li Shuxian held the other person's child and coaxed him, "Brother-in-law, won't you hold him and let him see?"

Shen Heng swallowed hard, but Bai Jiaojiao reached out her hand: "Brother-in-law, put it next to me, let me take a look."

"Hey, look at this eldest son." Li Shuxian placed the child between Bai Jiaojiao and Shen Heng.

Bai Jiaojiao looked at the child from the side, her face very gentle: "So cute."

Shen Heng: You're lying through your teeth.

However, since this was Bai Jiaojiao's child, Shen Heng didn't dislike it. He reached out and touched the child's face, saying, "Shen Shi."

This was a name the couple had decided on at home long ago. Regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, they would both be called Chen Shi, meaning that the child was born in a new era.

"When did it sink? Which time?"

“The times.” Bai Jiaojiao replied with a smile.

"It's pretty good. Did your brother-in-law name it?"

“We’ll each have half,” Bai Jiaojiao said.

Shen Heng is responsible for the half of the surname.

"very nice."

A little while later, Bai Shiqing returned and also said that the name was good.

She had experience, so she taught Shen Heng how to breastfeed.

"I'll call Dad and Grandpa in a bit."

“Okay,” Bai Jiaojiao said, watching Shen Heng awkwardly breastfeeding the baby. “Brother Heng, why don’t you call your godparents later too?”

"Okay, I'll go get it after I finish breastfeeding."

Shen Heng looked at the child in his arms, who was diligently drinking the milk from his hand. His heart softened a little. The thought that this child was born to him by Bai Jiaojiao filled him with mixed feelings.

“Look at my brother-in-law, his voice has softened. Li Shuxian, hurry up and buy some food. The little one has food to eat, but we adults are still hungry.”

Li Shuxian had just gotten off work and hadn't eaten dinner yet. Bai Jiaojiao and Bai Shiqing each ate a steamed bun before giving birth at noon, while Shen Heng had been going hungry until now.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

The two left, leaving the family of three in the hospital room.

Bai Jiaojiao looked at Shen Heng and said with a smile, "That's great."

"What's good about it?"

"It's nothing, I just feel so good to see you two."

Bai Jiaojiao felt that her life had been worthwhile, having been with Shen Heng all this time and having a lovely child with him.

Shen Heng stopped breastfeeding and took Bai Jiaojiao's little hand.

"Wah—" The pacifier was gone, and the little boy immediately started crying.

Shen Heng: "..."

"Brother Heng, you should feed him properly. Our son might have inherited your appetite."

Bai Jiaojiao couldn't help but find it amusing when she saw Shen Heng sigh heavily.

"All you do is laugh at me."

While the two of them were talking, the family of the pregnant woman who had given birth at the same time as Bai Jiaojiao packed up to leave.

After Bai Shiqing returned and saw that the person in the next bed had left, she said to Bai Jiaojiao, "Did you see that man's face?"

Bai Jiaojiao nodded: "I saw it."

"Guess how you did it?"

Bai Jiaojiao didn't even need to guess: "Heng-ge, you hit someone?"

"He spoke rudely, let's teach him a lesson." As it turned out, he was right to teach him a lesson; even that guy's mother couldn't stand it.

"What's wrong?" Bai Jiaojiao asked.

Shen Heng didn't want to say it and offend Bai Jiaojiao's ears, and Bai Shiqing wasn't there either, so she didn't know either, and Bai Jiaojiao didn't ask about it.

Grandpa Yang was very decisive; by almost ten o'clock, all four members of the Yang family had arrived.
