Ye Zhiwei knew very well that Jiang Jianian didn't like children. This child came unexpectedly. Rather than saying that Jiang Jianian was more looking forward to the child, it would be more accurate to say that Jiang Jianian was more worried about Ye Zhiwei's health.
He took such good care of Ye Zhiwei's health because it was her and Ye Zhiwei's child, and he wanted to fulfill his responsibility as a father.
Ye Zhiwei didn't ask anything more, but instead lay in Jiang Jianian's arms.
Seemingly sensing Ye Zhiwei's slight disappointment, he said earnestly again, "I am also looking forward to the arrival of this child."
Because you're really looking forward to it.
It was very quiet around her, and Ye Zhiwei just lay there obediently.
Perhaps worried that Ye Zhiwei might be overthinking things, or that pregnant women are sensitive, Jiang Jianian took even better care of Ye Zhiwei afterward. While everyone else was concerned about whether Ye Zhiwei's actions might be bad for the baby, Jiang Jianian was the only one who cared whether Ye Zhiwei liked it and whether this would make her more comfortable.
Around the second semester of her first year of graduate school, Ye Zhiwei took leave to stay home and prepare for childbirth.
On the day she was about to give birth, she was enjoying a tomato-based hot pot that Jiang Jianian had made for her, but then her stomach started to hurt. Jiang Jianian immediately carried Ye Zhiwei to the car and had someone drive her to the hospital.
Ye Zhiwei, whether nervous about giving birth or hungry, pitifully complained that she hadn't finished her hot pot yet.
Jiang Jianian coaxed Ye Zhiwei from the side, promising to take her to eat hot pot in more places after she gave birth, and to make her whatever she wanted to eat.
Ye Zhiwei wiped all her tears on Jiang Jianian's body, and said, "My stomach hurts so much. I heard that childbirth is extremely painful."
It hurts terribly.
The man was clearly distressed and patiently coaxed Ye Zhiwei to get the epidural later.
When Ye Zhiwei was sent to the hospital and was waiting to give birth in a private delivery room, Ye Qingcheng, Ye Yingying, Ji Shuli and several others also arrived one after another.
Seeing that Ye Zhiwei wasn't feeling well, Ji Shuli became very anxious. He even mistook a nurse for a doctor, grabbing her hand and saying, "Doctor, if anything happens, remember, we'll save the mother, save the mother—"
Ye Zhiwei was so angry she laughed in bed. After the nurse left in embarrassment, she beckoned to Ji Shuli and said after Ji Shuli bent down, "The baby isn't a complete person under the national law before it's even born. If something unexpected happens, the doctor's first reaction will be to save my life, otherwise it would be breaking the law. You're so ignorant about the law. All those TV dramas about saving the mother or the baby are lies."
Ji Shuli said aggrievedly, "It's just that I've never given birth before and have no experience."
The atmosphere eased a little.
Jiang Jianian's tense expression, which had been worried about Ye Zhiwei, eased slightly.
Ye Zhiwei's abdomen was in constant pain. She needed regular abdominal pain before her cervix could dilate. She could only go to the delivery room when her cervix was dilated to two centimeters. Several people stayed by Ye Zhiwei's side for a long time, but Ye Zhiwei was in more and more pain. By the time she got to the delivery room, her face was already very pale.
Jiang Jianian immediately inquired about Ye Zhiwei's condition from the doctor, who explained that an epidural could only be administered when the cervix was three centimeters dilated, and even then, it would only reduce the pain by 50%.
Jiang Jianian held Ye Zhiwei's hand and kept comforting her. Ye Zhiwei was in so much pain that tears kept falling, and she couldn't help but talk nonsense. When she rambled on about whether she could return to her original world if something happened to her, Jiang Jianian's face turned extremely ugly.
Even though he was emotionally turbulent, he still gently comforted her, saying, "Be good, don't talk nonsense, you'll be alright, you'll be alright."
Ye Zhiwei looked at Jiang Jianian. His gaze was deep and his emotions were intense. What was even more shocking was that the man's eyes were red. He had stayed by Ye Zhiwei's side the whole time, except for a few places where he needed to avoid her.
This man, who had always been extremely calm from high school to marriage, had tears in his eyes at this moment because his wife was giving birth.
The baby was born safely; it's a girl, and both mother and daughter are safe.
Ye Qingcheng, Ye Yingying, and Ji Shuli were worried about Ye Zhiwei, but they also had high expectations for the child. Jiang Jianian, on the other hand, stayed by Ye Zhiwei's side the whole time from the moment Ye Zhiwei was brought out, without ever glancing at the child.
When Ye Zhiwei looked weakly at Jiang Jianian, Jiang Jianian whispered in her ear, "Baby, you've worked so hard. This one child is enough for us. You don't need to suffer like this anymore. I will definitely protect you."
Even at such an emotional moment, Ye Zhiwei couldn't help but blurt out a question to Jiang Jianian, "Did you cry when you were with me in the delivery room just now?"
Jiang Jianian: ...
"You cried? You really cried! I saw your eyes were red!"
