Chapter 97 Qin Zhan and Qin Zhao! The most precious treasures of their lives!
"You little brat! If you cry again, I'll beat you up!"
In the ward, Qin Lie held the little one in his arms, who was crying so hard he could barely breathe. He was sweating profusely with anxiety, uttering the harshest words, yet his movements were as gentle as if he were touching a rare piece of porcelain.
The little guy completely ignored him and continued to scream and cry loudly.
This is the third day already.
Since the day he was born, his precious son has never had a moment's peace.
She cries when she's full, she cries when she wakes up, and she cries even when her diaper is changed.
It was as if everything in the world displeased him.
On the other hand, his younger sister, that little girl with beautiful peach blossom eyes, was incredibly well-behaved.
Except for whimpering a couple of times when hungry, it sleeps quietly most of the time, or stares around curiously with its big eyes wide open.
The two siblings are complete opposites.
"Give me the child."
Leaning against the headboard, Jiang Wu looked at Qin Lie's helpless and disheveled appearance and smiled helplessly.
"No! You need to rest!" Qin Lie refused without hesitation. "The doctor said you just gave birth and need to recuperate!"
These past few days, he's been doting on his wife like she's the apple of his eye.
He won't even let me carry the baby, let alone get out of bed and walk.
“Give it to me, I have a way,” Jiang Wu insisted.
Qin Lie hesitated for a moment, but still carefully handed the crying little devil into Jiang Wu's arms.
A miracle happened.
As soon as the little one was in Jiang Wu's arms, his deafening cries miraculously and slowly stopped.
He rubbed his face against Jiang Wu's soft chest, sobbed twice, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Qin Lie was dumbfounded.
"What...what's going on?"
"Maybe he just misses his mother." Jiang Wu gently patted her son's back, her face radiating tender maternal warmth.
Qin Lie watched this scene with a mixture of envy and jealousy.
This kid has been close to his wife since he was in his mother's womb!
"Alright, you two stop arguing about who's the other's girlfriend."
Zhou Nianci, who had just entered, couldn't help but tease Qin Lie when she saw his expression.
"Hurry up, have you thought of a name for the baby yet? We still need to fill it in on the birth certificate."
"Name?" Qin Lie was taken aback.
These past two days he's been so busy taking care of these three little devils that he'd completely forgotten about this.
"Hey, I've already thought of something for you!" Political Commissar Wang chimed in, clearing his throat and saying smugly, "Since they're twins, and the offspring of our soldiers, I think the boy should be named Qin Weiguo! To protect the country! And the girl should be named Qin Yongjun! To support the army and love the people! How about that? Sounds good, right?"
Qin defended the country? Qin supported the army?
Qin Lie's lips twitched upon hearing this.
This name is just too... too characteristic of its time.
"Old Wang, your name is so corny." Zhou Nianci waved her hand dismissively. "If you ask me, just keep it simple. Qin Jianguo for a boy, and Qin Hongmei for a girl, so easy to remember!"
Qin Lie was completely bewildered.
It wasn't that he thought the names were bad.
However, he always felt that these names were not good enough for his children.
His child was rescued from a hellish storm by his wife, who risked her life.
It was a unique treasure bestowed upon him by God.
Their names should also be unique.
He looked at Jiang Wu, seeking her opinion.
Jiang Wu simply smiled at him, her meaning clear: let him make the decision himself.
Qin Lie fell silent.
He walked to the window and looked at the clear blue sky outside.
His thoughts seemed to drift back to that raging, hellish sea.
That boundless darkness and cold.
That earth-shattering giant wave.
The small fishing boat that stubbornly sailed towards him through the wind and waves.
And then there was that kiss in the deep sea, the one that pulled him back from the brink of death, a kiss imbued with the warmth of her life.
He thought of the sea, now calm and peaceful after the catastrophe.
The seawater was clear, azure, and unfathomably deep.
It contains the power to destroy everything, but also nurtures boundless vitality.
Just like his son.
Although it cries and makes a fuss, its cries are full of vibrant and indomitable vitality.
His gaze then fell on his son, who was being held by Jiang Wu and sleeping peacefully in the morning light.
A single word slowly became clear in his mind.
Zhan.
Qin Zhan.
Calm as the deep sea, vast as the sky.
He turned his head again and looked at Jiang Wu.
She was tilting her head, looking tenderly at the child in her arms.
The rising sun shone through the window onto her face.
It bathed her in a soft yet sacred halo.
She was his light.
It was the light that illuminated his entire world during his most desperate and darkest time.
She gave him hope for life.
It was she who made his life bright and radiant again.
Another equally brilliant word came to mind.
Zhao.
Qin Zhao.
Zhao, the sun is bright.
Its brilliance shines like the sun and moon, illuminating the entire earth.
"Qin Zhan, Qin Zhao."
Qin Lie turned around and slowly, word by word, pronounced the two names.
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable firmness.
The ward fell silent instantly.
Political Commissar Wang and Zhou Nianci exchanged glances, both pondering the implications of the two names.
“Qin Zhan, Qin Zhao…” Zhou Nianci read it twice, her eyes growing brighter and brighter. “Great! Great names! Both grand and elegant! Much better than those names we came up with, like ‘Founding the Nation’ or ‘Defending the Nation’!”
"Yes, it's not bad." Political Commissar Wang nodded as well. Although he still felt that "Weiguo" sounded more impressive, he had to admit that the two names Qin Lie came up with were indeed more evocative.
Qin Lie ignored their comments.
His gaze remained fixed on Jiang Wu.
"Honey, what do you think?"
Jiang Wu raised her head and met his expectant and questioning gaze.
She smiled.
Her eyes crinkled into crescents as she smiled, like the brightest star in the night sky.
"It sounds nice."
Of course she knew how much affection he held within those two words.
Qin Zhan was someone they went through life and death with.
Qin Zhao was the highest praise he could give her in his life.
Just then, the little guy who had just been named "Qin Zhan" smacked his lips in his sleep and revealed a satisfied, sweet smile.
It seemed that he was quite satisfied with the name.
The family of four lived happily together.
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the ward.
The hospital director, an elderly man with gray hair and a serious expression, walked in with two young doctors.
"Deputy Division Commander Qin, Comrade Jiang Wu." The dean's expression looked somewhat solemn. "There's something I'd like to discuss with you."
"It's about the children...their first health check report."
"Their blood type is somewhat unusual."
