Chu Yuan sniffed, smelling the lingering aroma of snail rice noodles in the ward. "It hurts."

Shen Xizhou looked worried. "Where does it hurt? I'll go get the doctor."

Chu Yuan wanted to say that her lower body hurt. Being stretched open by such a huge thing, it was impossible not to feel any discomfort. Even with a miraculous postpartum recovery pill, she would still feel slightly uncomfortable. This feeling would probably not dissipate for two or three days.

She's already much better off than women who give birth normally.

Some people are said to have severe tears, and they may experience burning and stinging pain for up to six months.

Ms. Lin and Shen Jianzhong were watching the children nearby. The two little ones were fast asleep, snoring away. Chu Yuan was too embarrassed to say anything.

However, upon hearing that she was not feeling well, Lin Ruixue immediately got up and came over. "Yuanyuan, if you feel unwell, don't hold it in. Tell us. If Xizhou can't handle it, we will. If we can't handle it, there are doctors. In short, holding it in will only make things worse. Don't let a small problem turn into a big one."

Chu Yuan nodded and slowly closed her eyes. "It's okay, I'll be fine after a nap."

We've been here since last night, and it's almost dawn.

Her only major discomfort was lack of sleep!

But before Chu Yuan could sleep for long, the nurse came again and said that the baby needed to be fed three hours after birth, and if the mother had not yet started breastfeeding, the baby should be given formula first.

Newborn babies should not be fed too much in the first three days. Each meal should be about 10 ml, and they should be fed small meals frequently, otherwise the baby is prone to indigestion.

You can gradually increase the amount of food the baby eats only after the baby has completely expelled the umbilical cord stool.

Chu Yuan was woken up and was still half asleep. Shen Xizhou felt a pang of heartache again and pulled the blanket around her. "Never mind, she's too tired. Let her drink some milk first."

Ms. Lin hummed in agreement and was about to follow the nurse to prepare the formula and bottle when Chu Yuan reached out from the bed, "No need, Mom, I've started breastfeeding, and my milk supply is pretty good. I can feed the baby directly."

Ms. Lin, "???"

Hmm? When did you start breastfeeding? How come she didn't know?

Knowing the whole story, Shen Xizhou dared not speak. He glanced at Chu Yuan's bulging chest out of the corner of his eye and sighed for the nth time in his heart, "Women's body structure is really peculiar!"

It doesn't look very big, but how can it store so much milk?

Letting a grown man drink his fill in one sitting... cough cough!

Right now, the two little ones are no problem at all.

When Shen Jianzhong saw that Chu Yuan was about to breastfeed, he quickly went out for a walk. To avoid embarrassing Shen Jianzhong, Ms. Lin also went out.

"Shen Xizhou, bring the child over here," Chu Yuan called out as she sat up.

Shen Xizhou readily agreed. He had never seen a newborn breastfeed before, but when he walked to the crib and circled around a few times, he hesitated to start.

"What's wrong?" Chu Yuan asked.

Shen Xizhou stretched out his hand, "This is too small, not much bigger than a newborn kitten, I... I'm a little hesitant to touch it."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan chuckled and then encouraged, "It's okay. Just treat it like taking care of a kitten. Human babies are actually quite similar to the babies of various mammals. They look fragile, but they are actually very resilient."

"Why do I feel like you're so experienced?" Shen Xizhou asked, but his attention wasn't on the question or on Chu Yuan at all.

Instead, she mustered her courage and, after a few seconds, finally managed to pick up her older sister steadily, happily nuzzling her cheek, "Wanwan, time for milk."

While carrying her daughter towards Chu Yuan, she kept a close eye on her feet, afraid that she might accidentally drop her daughter.

Chu Yuan couldn't help but laugh as she watched the usually decisive man tiptoeing around. She gently took Wanwan from him.

The little one smelled a pleasant scent from Chu Yuan and began to wriggle around even more. Chu Yuan took the opportunity to lift her clothes and unfasten the hidden clasp of her nursing bra. The little one couldn't wait to suckle at the rosy nipple.

First, it tested the waters, and then, upon discovering that there was indeed something delicious, it ate with even more strength and made louder noises, munching away with great relish.

Shen Xizhou, "..."

Why do I suddenly have this feeling of déjà vu?

Moreover, he had just accidentally seen that glistening, delicate droplet, and his mouth had shamefully and uncontrollably started to salivate!

Realizing that he was actually trying to steal food from his own daughter, Shen Xizhou's face flushed red, and he quickly turned his back to avoid looking.

Form is emptiness, emptiness is form...

"Wah—" Just then, the younger sister, Crescent Moon, seemed to sense through telepathy that her older sister was enjoying herself. She could have tolerated it for a while, but suddenly she couldn't take it anymore and started crying and kicking her arms and legs.

Shen Xizhou strode over, picked up Yueya'er, and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, our Yueya'er won't cry. What's wrong? Are you hungry too? Okay, okay, we'll eat now, we'll eat now."

As she spoke, she placed Crescent Moon on the bed, glanced at Chu Yuan, and said, "We're both hungry. We can't neglect one for the other. Can we eat together?"

Chu Yuan was now lying on her side, with one of her breasts already inside her older sister's mouth. She glared at Chen Xizhou helplessly. What, did he expect her younger sister to be suspended in mid-air while nursing?

Shen Xizhou understood the meaning in her eyes and gestured, "If you lie flat like this, I'll let the two children lie on you to eat."

I initially thought formula was fine, but after trying it, I realized everyone was right – breast milk is much more nutritious than cow's milk!

Look, I've been losing less hair lately, and my skin is smoother than before. Our little crescent moon has such a nutritious and abundant granary; wouldn't it be a waste not to use it?

"Of course, it also depends on you, Yuan Yuan. If you don't want to, I'll throw them both out to drink milk right now." Shen Xizhou, with his strong survival instinct, immediately added, "Nothing in the world is as great as my little kitten's happiness!"

Chu Yuan, “!”

She gave Chen Xizhou a curt look, but in the end she let Wanwan and Yueya drink milk together.

However, the action was that the two little ones clung to her chest like leeches, and Shen Xizhou used both hands to support their bottoms to prevent them from accidentally falling off.

Slurp, slurp, the two little ones eat together, taking both the visual and auditory impact to a whole new level.

Shen Xizhou felt like he was having a really hard time!
