Gu Zhinian was pushed into the delivery room. Yun Muye staggered and tried to catch up with her. The nurse closed the door, and he peeked inside through the crack.
"Zhi Nian, don't be afraid! I will always be here waiting for you!"
Yun Muye stood outside the delivery room. Above his head, the dim light shone on the silent tall figure. Han Li sat on a long bench and waited quietly. There was no movement in the delivery room, and the silence was so uneasy.
"Sit down and rest for a while! The doctor said this is her first baby, and it might take until dawn to give birth."
Yun Muye remained silent, his eyes fixed on the door of the delivery room. His legs were numb and he had lost all feeling. He prayed silently in his heart for safety.
At the corner of the corridor, Zhang Pingping hid in the dark, observing quietly. If it were any other time, Yun Muye would have noticed her little movements immediately. But now, all his attention was on Gu Zhinian in the delivery room, and he couldn't spare a single moment of his attention.
Zhang Pingping cursed viciously, "It would be best if both died in the delivery room, saving me the trouble! The Gu family! You all deserve to die!"
In the delivery room.
Gu Zhinian took off her clothes and lay powerless on the delivery bed. She felt pain almost every few minutes, and her abdomen felt like it was falling. The nurse wiped the sweat off her face. Gu Zhinian bit her lip awkwardly and whispered:
"I, I want to go to the bathroom."
The nurse comforted her, "You are about to give birth, not needing to go to the toilet. It's okay, every mother will go through this. Don't worry too much. If you need to pee, just pee. We will take care of it."
Gu Zhinian nodded, "Thank you."
"fine."
The little nurse's caring comfort made Gu Zhinian feel much more relaxed. Then another wave of severe pain came over her. She wanted to scream out in pain. The little nurse taught her to inhale.
"Don't scream. You need to save your strength because you'll need it later. If it hurts too much, just take a deep breath. Yes, Mommy is great! Take a deep breath! Mommy is so great! The baby will come out fine too. You'll see your baby soon. Come on, Mommy."
The nurse's heartwarming words made Gu Zhinian cry. The nurse wiped her tears away.
"Don't cry, Mom. Your baby will learn from you and cry too."
Gu Zhinian burst into laughter, and another wave of oppression came over her. The nurse asked her to hold on to the handle of the delivery bed.
"Push harder! Mommy, come on! The baby will be out soon!"
Gu Zhinian used all her strength. After a while, her arms fell down weakly. The nurse encouraged her.
"You did a great job, Mom! Take a break and keep pushing."
"Hasn't it been born yet?" Gu Zhinian was in so much pain that he felt like his soul was about to leave his body.
"Almost there, it's already nine fingers dilated, I can see the baby's head, mommy needs to keep going."
Gu Zhinian took a deep breath. The female doctor was standing by her. After a while, she tilted her head and called out,
"Come on, I'll say one, two, three, Mom, listen to my command, push harder, okay?"
Gu Zhinian took a deep breath, held her breath, and waited for the doctor's instructions. The next second, before the doctor called out, she felt her stomach dropping, as if the child felt sorry for his mother and was also pushing with her.
The doctor cried:
"Mom, push! Your baby is pushing too, so both of you should do your best!"
Gu Zhinian gritted her teeth and once again grasped the handrail beside the delivery bed, pushing down hard until her forehead was throbbing with pain. The next second, she felt something slipping out of her body. The doctor grabbed the newborn baby and wiped the sticky stuff off its body with a soft cloth. The baby cried loudly. The nurse supported the baby's back with one hand and held the baby's feet with the other, and put the baby on Gu Zhinian's face to cuddle.
"Mom, open your eyes and look. It's a beautiful son. I've never seen a child so beautiful right after birth."
Gu Zhinian smiled slightly, tilted her head and kissed her baby son's little face, tears of excitement flowing out of her eyes, her little glutinous rice ball had arrived.
The nurse placed the baby on a small blanket, wrapped it up neatly, and weighed it on the scale.
"A boy, 6.6 jin (16.6 ounces)."
Gu Zhinian was about to deliver the placenta, so the nurse took the baby out first. When she opened the door, Yun Muye rushed over with red eyes.
"Nurse, where's my wife? How is she?"
"Mom is fine. Are you the family members of the pregnant woman, Gu Zhinian?"
"Yes! I am her husband."
"This is a child, a boy, weighing 6.6 jin (16.6 ounces)."
Yun Muye then turned his attention to the baby. The baby's soft little face was sleeping peacefully with its eyes closed in the swaddle. Yun Muye's heart melted at the sight of it. Han Li reminded him,
"Hurry up and take the child over!"
Yun Muye's breathing was unstable. He reached out to wipe the sweat from his palms. His Adam's apple rolled twice, as if facing a great enemy. He carefully picked up the little baby and held it gently in his arms. He didn't dare to use force in his hands. The little baby in his arms was incredibly soft. Yun Muye lowered his head to look at him, his eyes turning into gentle water.
"Baby, nice to meet you, let me introduce myself. I'm your father. From now on, I will always protect you and your mother."
If three-year-old Tangyuan were present, he would definitely laugh at his father, then hug him, kiss him, and say, "I love you, Dad!"
The newborn Tangyuan closed his eyes, clenched his two little fists, and held them on both sides of his head, sleeping peacefully in his father's arms.
Han Li looked over curiously, joy pouring out of her eyes, "He's so small! So cute."
Yun Muye held his son in his arms and patted him softly. Han Li turned her head to look out the window. The fiery red sun was rising slowly. The golden light shone through the dry tree trunks and sprinkled into the corridor, the ground, and the windowsill, leaving spots.
About half an hour later, the door of the delivery room opened again and a nurse came out pushing a cart. Gu Zhinian was covered with a thick blanket and was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.
Yun Muye followed with the child in his arms, his eyes fixed on her.
"Zhi Nian, I'm here with you."
After the cart was pushed into the ward, Zhang Pingping, who was standing at the corner, clenched her fists angrily and punched the wall.
"What a lucky guy! The child is so small, I don't know if I can raise him after he is born."
Yun Muye held the child and sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Gu Zhinian without blinking. After a while, the child raised his little fist, pouted his little mouth, and burst into tears.
New father Yun Muye stood up in a panic and walked back and forth to coax the baby.
"Be good, baby, don't cry."
Han Li made a cup of brown sugar water and let it cool, waiting for Gu Zhinian to wake up before drinking it.
"Could he be hungry?"
Yun Muye asked in confusion, "What should we do? Should we give him milk?"
"I don't know either. I've never given birth to a child!"
Han Li spread her hands and said helplessly.
Gu Zhinian opened his eyes, sat up with great effort, and stretched out his hand.
"Give me the baby and I'll feed him. A newborn baby's stomach is so weak, how can he drink milk?"
