Since sensing Gu Yunze's unique favoritism, Lin Yu's depressed mood has gradually improved.
Her physical condition has not improved; her originally small feet are now so swollen that she can wear Gu Yunze's shoes.
After half a month of this, she went into labor!
The weather was perfect that day; although it was winter, the sun was shining.
Lin Yu sat in the room, watching the sunlight streaming in, eating fruit, and listening to music playing on a tape recorder.
The baby was ready to be born around this time.
She first felt her belly tighten, and based on the pregnancy guide she had read, she understood that this was a contraction.
Lin Yu didn't panic. She first stood up and said to Gu Yunze, "Go get the car, I'm about to give birth."
Gu Yunze almost tripped over the chair when he stood up, and hurriedly helped Lin Yu up, asking, "How are you feeling?"
Lin Yu patted his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just contractions now, you won't give birth so soon. Go and drive the car over first."
At this point, Li Huizhu had already accepted Gu Yunze and was helping Lin Yu.
Gu Yunze walked away quickly and went to get his car.
Shen Zhinian took out several bags of things that she had prepared from inside the house.
Lin Shengli and Gu Henglin assisted from the side.
Everything was proceeding smoothly and in an orderly manner.
When Li Huizhu left, she rode in Gu Henglin's car.
Gu Yunze was driving Lin Yu and her parents, the three of them sitting in the back seat.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Lin Yu was escorted to her ward by familiar doctors and nurses.
After the nurse came to check, she said, "It won't be that quick, wait a little longer."
Lin Yu kept her breathing steady and calculated the frequency of her contractions.
Gu Yunze paced anxiously, "Why aren't we allowed to give birth yet? When will we be allowed to?"
Li Huizhu, being experienced, explained, "This is her first pregnancy, so it will take a little longer."
Shen Zhinian also said, "Yes, when I gave birth to Xiaoyu, it took me a whole night, but when I gave birth to Xiaoyi, it only took a little over two hours."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunze's face turned even paler. Lin Yu was already in so much pain, yet she still had to wait. Was she really going to have to endure the pain all night?
He was so anxious that he paced back and forth, then pulled Lin Yu to look at her.
Lin Yu smiled weakly and said, "I'm okay, it doesn't hurt that much, I can bear it."
Gu Yunze's eyes were red, and he looked at her, not knowing what to say.
Lin Yu felt the pain increasing and gripped Gu Yunze's hand tighter and tighter.
When she was in so much pain that she was sweating profusely and her fingers, which were digging into Gu Yunze, turned white, the doctor finally announced that she could go into the delivery room.
Gu Yunze held her hand tightly, refusing to let go: "Can you let me in?"
The doctor had never heard of such a request: what would a man do inside during childbirth?
He glanced at Gu Yunze's parents; entering the delivery room was always considered unlucky, and his parents would definitely stop him.
Gu Yunze looked at him seriously, his eyes sharp and brooking no refusal.
He was a man who had seen blood on the battlefield; even doctors, who were used to life and death, couldn't stand his gaze.
Moreover, the new mother said, "Doctor, let him stay with me. Just take him to change into a protective suit."
Although there is no precedent, such a request does not violate regulations, after all, this is childbirth, not surgery.
Therefore, the doctor finally agreed.
He was helpless. The woman's parents and in-laws were standing there and didn't stop it. What could he do?
Lin Yu was wheeled into the delivery room. Gu Yunze followed the nurse to wash and disinfect his hands, then put on a protective suit and went in with her.
Gu Henglin and his wife were not unsettled; they had never heard of a husband going in with his wife during childbirth. But they also knew their son; who could change his decision?
Lin Shengli and his wife exchanged a glance, then stepped forward and said, "In-laws, we're so sorry, but our Xiaoyu is young and afraid of pain. She might be reluctant to part with Yunze..."
From Lin Yu's parents' perspective, they naturally agreed to their son-in-law accompanying their daughter.
The only concern now is that Gu Yunze's parents might have objections, so we can only try our best to make amends.
Li Huizhu sighed, patted Shen Zhinian's hand and said, "We know how great it is for Xiaoyu to give birth. We won't blame her. Yunze, as her husband, should do this."
Shen Zhinian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her in-laws were reasonable people.
Lin Shengli was even more satisfied with his son-in-law's family.
In the delivery room, Lin Yu was adjusting her breathing under the guidance of doctors and nurses.
Gu Yunze stayed by her side, not daring to speak or disturb her.
He simply held a tissue in his hand and helped wipe away her sweat and tears.
"Okay, take a deep breath, push hard, one, two, three..."
"Okay, keep going, keep pushing."
Lin Yu held her breath and strained, and everything around her fell silent, with only the word "strain" echoing repeatedly in her ears.
At the last moment, she felt a force within her helping her pull something out.
My body felt a wave of relief.
She lay there exhausted, and saw a nurse carrying out a child covered in blood.
As the nurse was preparing to cut the umbilical cord, Lin Yu said, "Let the baby's father cut it."
The nurse paused, looked up at her, and seeing her determined gaze, hesitated for a moment before turning her gaze to the doctor.
The doctor nodded to indicate that it was okay.
So the nurse handed the scissors to Gu Yunze and showed him where to cut.
Gu Yunze had fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but now, looking at the red expanse before him, he felt a sudden surge of tension.
He had great self-control; his hand holding the scissors trembled slightly, but no one noticed.
After cutting the umbilical cord, the nurse took the baby out and placed him in her arms.
This smooth, wrinkled baby was just born from Lin Yu's womb; they were blood relatives.
Seeing him standing there in a daze, the nurse took the baby away, cleaned him up, and wrapped him in the swaddling clothes they had brought.
Then he placed it next to Lin Yu and said, "Look at your child."
Lin Yu glanced at the child; the child was small, rosy-cheeked, and not very good-looking.
But when she sensed his presence, Lin Yu's heart softened with a bittersweet feeling; this was her baby, connected to her by blood.
She was a little tired, and as she looked at the screen, she closed her eyes.
Gu Yunze stood beside her, staring blankly.
The nurse, holding the baby, said, "I'm taking this out to your family. Do you want to go out or stay with her?"
Gu Yunze kept his eyes fixed on Lin Yu: "I'll stay with her."
More and more people came to the delivery room. In addition to the parents of both families, Qiao Feng, Lin Wen, Lin Yi, and Ou Manqing also came.
The delivery room door creaked open, and a nurse came out carrying a small swaddled baby.
Are the family members of the new mother, Lin Yu, here?
They all rushed over: "Here!"
Shim Chinen, who was closest to the nurse, successfully held the baby.
The nurse said, "It's a girl, weighing five pounds and six ounces."
When she discovered that she was a girl, no one present showed any disappointment.
Even the two oldest-looking elderly people were smiling.
She also asked curiously, "Have the child's grandparents come?"
The two elderly people looked up at her and asked, "That's us. Is there anything I can help you with?"
The nurse smiled and shook her head, making up an excuse:
"The baby's father cut the umbilical cord."
