Chapter 43 The Birth of My Younger Brother



After returning from his early childhood education class, Xu Chen sat in his room practicing his driving test questions. He was going to register for driving school tomorrow, so he naturally needed to make the most of today. Just as Xu Chen was working on his phone, Wang Rong exclaimed from the living room, "Chenchen!" Xu Chen put down his phone and ran out of the bedroom. He saw Wang Rong frowning, looking like she was in great pain. "Is she about to give birth?" Xu Chen hurriedly went back into the room, grabbed his phone, and made a call. Soon after, he accompanied Wang Rong to the hospital.

Upon hearing the news, Xu Jianguo immediately postponed the meeting. Xu Nan, who was out buying groceries, dropped everything and rushed to the hospital. She was extremely anxious; in Xu Nan's eyes, Wang Rong was definitely an elderly mother, and she couldn't put her mind at ease. As the due date approached, she felt increasingly nervous every day. The family paced anxiously outside the delivery room, while Xu Chen appeared somewhat calm. When Xu Jianguo saw the nurse carrying the baby out, a weight lifted from his heart. Then, an unbelievable scene unfolded: Wang Rong walked straight out of the delivery room. Xu Jianguo was stunned. "Wife, why aren't you resting? What's wrong...?" Xu Nan hurriedly urged, "Mom, go back to bed." Wang Rong smiled gently. "Honey, Nan Nan, I feel perfectly fine. If it weren't for the baby's birth, I feel like I'd never been to the hospital. Everything's alright." Xu Jianguo was surprised. Then, everyone in the delivery room looked at the tiny, white, and adorable baby. Xu Nan happily touched her little brother's face and asked Wang Rong, "Mom, Dad, what name are you going to give our little brother?" Xu Jianguo shook his head and said to Xu Nan, "Your mom wants you two to choose it." Wang Rong nodded. "Nan Nan, Chen Chen, think of one quickly!" Xu Nan and Xu Chen then entered deep thought mode.

A few days later, Wang Rong insisted on going home, and the doctor no longer tried to dissuade her. The main reason was that Wang Rong's physical condition was too good. Most women are extremely weak after childbirth, but she walked out of the delivery room as if nothing had happened. The doctor was quite surprised. They packed up, took the baby home, and under the nourishment of spiritual energy, not only was Wang Rong's health worry-free, but her younger brother Xu Ming was also very healthy, a chubby little boy. Every time Xu Chen looked at him, Xu Ming would curiously gaze at him, observing the world. Xu Chen carefully observed his younger brother's condition and found that he did have some aptitude for cultivation, but his spiritual root was still mortal, making immortality cultivation unlikely. "It seems that my spiritual energy has nourished him for a long time, slightly changing his physique. Although he doesn't have enough aptitude for immortality cultivation, becoming a martial artist shouldn't be a problem," Xu Chen thought to himself. Of course, he would ask Xu Ming's opinion on all of this later. Becoming a martial artist, with proper training, would be enough to make him a top figure in today's declining martial arts society in China. "It seems I'll have to make a deal with Tang Tiancheng in the future," Xu Chen mused.

The night passed, and Wang Rong, dressed neatly, went to work with Xu Jianguo. Xu Jianguo still looked at his wife with some worry, "Wife, it's only been a few days, are you really alright?" Wang Rong smiled gently, "Let's go, Lao Xu, we've been married for so many years, when have I ever been stubborn?" Xu Jianguo then took Wang Rong's hand and left the house. The task of taking care of the child was left to the siblings. Xu Nan and Xu Chen looked at their little brother, their heads spinning. That's how people are; they always love the children they don't have to take care of, finding them adorable. But once they have to take care of a child, they're overwhelmed. Just as the two were sitting on the sofa scrolling through their phones, their little brother cried. The siblings frantically checked his diaper, and the responsibility of changing the diaper fell to Xu Chen, who looked like he was going to his death. After hurriedly changing the diaper, Xu Chen came out of the bathroom when the phone rang. He answered, and Wang Li's voice came through. Xu Chen suddenly remembered that he needed to register for driving school. After learning that Wang Li was waiting for him, Xu Chen hung up and said to Xu Nan, "Sis, Lili is waiting for me at the entrance of the community. We're going to driving lessons today. I'll buy some milk powder for my little brother later." Milk powder is something you can never have too much of for families with children. Xu Nan nodded, "Chen-di, come back quickly, I can't handle it alone." Xu Chen said jokingly, "Sis, you're almost at the age to be a mother. You should practice with your little brother, otherwise your in-laws will dislike you." Xu Nan picked up a cushion and threw it at Xu Chen, who nimbly dodged it and walked straight out of the house.

At the entrance of the residential area, Wang Li stood on the street waiting for Xu Chen. Xu Chen quickly stepped forward and hugged Wang Li from behind. Wang Li said helplessly, "Chenchen, you're being naughty again." Xu Chen kissed her pretty face and said with a smile, "Hmph, Lili, have you remembered almost all the questions?" Wang Li nodded. "Chenchen, can you tell me the secret now?" Xu Chen nodded. "The secret is, my mom gave birth to a little brother." Wang Li seemed very surprised. "She already gave birth? Isn't Auntie an older mother? Shouldn't you be with her after giving birth?" Xu Chen gently patted her hand. "Lili, you don't know, after my mom gave birth, she acted like nothing happened and walked out of the delivery room by herself. If my dad hadn't insisted, my mom probably could have gone to work the next morning, but she still rested for a few days." Wang Li's jaw dropped. "Chenchen, I heard..." "Most women are quite weak after giving birth, Auntie is so strong." Xu Chen nodded and whispered in Wang Li's ear, "When you're fifty, Lili, we can have a child like my parents." Wang Li shook her head violently after hearing this, "Chenchen, it's better to have the baby sooner rather than later. Auntie's situation is truly an exceptional case." Xu Chen nodded, "Yes, the baby should be born sooner. We both have our ID cards with us today, so..." Xu Chen gestured towards a budget hotel on the street, indicating that Wang Li should look there. Wang Li followed Xu Chen's gesture, and after looking, she playfully hit Xu Chen: "You're so naughty, you know that's not what I meant." Xu Chen also said gently, "Lili, don't worry, I'll only do bad things to you after we get married. I won't go back on my promise." Wang Li nodded, and the two headed towards their destination.

After leaving the driving school, Xu Chen said to Wang Li, "Lili, since we just registered and have an appointment for tomorrow, let's memorize the questions tonight. Staying up late is fine." Wang Li nodded. Xu Chen was fine with it, but he wanted to make sure Wang Li memorized them well, since time was a bit tight. He figured staying up late tonight and giving Wang Li a head massage tomorrow morning wouldn't be a problem. The two went home separately, agreeing on a time to go to the exam together tomorrow. After buying baby formula and diapers at the supermarket, Xu Chen was bombarded with gossip by the saleswoman, who asked him how he became a father so young. Xu Chen felt a little embarrassed by the questions and hurriedly went home after paying.
