Chapter 32 Chapter 32
When spring came and flowers bloomed, Song Lingxi reached her due date and was admitted to a private hospital two days ago to prepare for a caesarean section.
Zong Fei and Xie Qiao started school early. Since their school was in another city, they could only go back to Haicheng on weekends.
Therefore, the only people who take care of Song Lingxi on a daily basis are the nanny and Zong Xuecheng.
Zong Xuecheng had been a master for more than 30 years and had never done the job of taking care of others. In the beginning, he was not good at it and Song Lingxi always refused to send him away.
Until one day, Song Lingxi accidentally fell to the ground and couldn't get up, with blood coming out from under her skirt. The family doctor and nutritionist happened to be out together, the nanny couldn't hold her, and Xie Qiao couldn't get back from school.
The nanny hurried out and called the bodyguard to come in for help. When she opened the door, she saw Zong Xuecheng coming. Zong Xuecheng saw that the nanny's expression was not right, so he pushed her away and ran into the house. Seeing Song Lingxi on the ground, he picked her up without saying a word and walked out the door.
They rushed all the way to the hospital. When Zong Xuecheng handed Song Lingxi to the doctor, he was trembling all over and stared at the person on the emergency bed.
Fortunately, after examination, it was found that there was nothing serious. But from then on, no matter how Song Lingxi chased him away, Zong Xuecheng said nothing and did not move.
After several months of training, his level of caring for people has greatly improved, and washing Song Lingxi's hair and bathing him is no problem at all.
Of course, Song Lingxi didn't let him enter the bathroom at first, but after the last accident, there was no way Zong Xuecheng would let her enter the bathroom alone. He didn't trust her even if it was a nanny, so he followed her into the bathroom with force. Song Lingxi, a pregnant woman, couldn't resist him.
In the hospital, Song Lingxi was reading newly published domestic academic papers to pass the time, while Zong Xuecheng was having a video conference on the sofa on the other side. The two did not disturb each other and the atmosphere was warm and leisurely.
The nurse knocked on the door and came in for a routine check. Zong Xuecheng looked up and divided his attention seven-tenths to the nurse, leaving only one-tenth to listen to the video report.
The nurse was surprised in her heart when she saw Zong Xuecheng on the sofa, then she lowered her voice and walked to the bedside. She was surprised again when she saw Song Lingxi.
The nurses have privately spread the identities of the two people. The man is Zong Xuecheng, the head of Zong Enterprise, and the woman is pregnant and about to give birth but her identity is unknown. Everyone guesses that she is Zong's lover.
Zong Xuecheng, he was the Midas Touch who was known as the two beauties on the Internet in the early years together with Xie Tuxue. Not only were they handsome, but they were also good at making money. One had a peerless beauty that was rare in the world, and the other was a refined and noble woman who was hard to reach. They could kill people with just their looks, not to mention that both of them had impressive family backgrounds and extraordinary abilities.
At first, fans of the two fought fiercely to determine who was stronger, ranging from height to leg length to family background. When the news of their marriage came out, they also started to compare their wives.
However, Xie Douxue protected his wife very well and no one has ever taken a photo of his wife. Fans of Zong Xuecheng believe that Xie Douxue's wife must have a poor family background or be a foreigner, otherwise she would not be untraceable in the country.
The nurse is a fan of the two, especially Xuecheng. Since Xie Xuexue passed away at a young age, I have read countless sad stories about them, such as "You are buried in the abyss, your bones are cut by mud, and I live in the world with snow all over my head", "Ten years of life and death, we are both in the dark"...
As for supporting a couple, people don't care about the life or death of the protagonists, even though they know that both of them have been married and have grown-up children. But one of them died early and became the white moonlight in the hearts of a generation; the other one has a clean private life. It is said that he never remarried after his wife passed away. The marriage rumor that was exposed on the Internet not long ago was also quickly debunked.
Even the nurse had never thought that she would be able to meet Zong Xuecheng in person in this life, let alone that he would be so cautious with a woman.
Based on the nurse's analysis of Zong Xuecheng's materials, Zong Xuecheng even used his marriage as a bargaining chip. When his ex-wife died, he immediately took a piece of meat from his wife's family. His cold-hearted and profit-oriented personality is the reason why many people are fascinated by him.
If those people saw Zong Xuecheng kneeling beside the bed washing a woman's feet, they would probably turn from fans to haters immediately, right?
The nurse shuddered. She was not extreme, but she was curious about that woman. She was curious about what kind of magic power she had that could allow Zong Xuecheng to do this.
She also had a secret in her heart that she was eager to share with others, but unfortunately she signed a confidentiality agreement and could not say anything.
"Miss Song, let me take your blood pressure and temperature." The nurse said in a low voice.
Song Lingxi smiled and said, "Thank you for the trouble."
"No trouble, no trouble. It's my duty." The nurse said as she stole a glance at Song Lingxi. She was so beautiful. Although she had been taking care of Miss Song for two days, she was still amazed every time she saw Miss Song. She wondered why humans could be so beautiful?
Not only is she beautiful, she also has an indescribable beauty. Who wouldn't be confused when seeing her? Not to mention Zong Xuecheng, even she, a woman, would want to get close to her when she sees her.
After taking his temperature, Song Lingxi felt something was wrong.
The nurse noticed Song Lingxi frowning and asked quickly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Zong Xuecheng who was sitting on the sofa suddenly stood up and walked quickly to the bed.
Song Lingxi: "I think... I'm about to give birth."
The nurse quickly reached out and touched Song Lingxi's body. "The amniotic fluid broke. Don't be nervous. I'll go get the doctor to prepare."
After saying that, he hurried out of the ward.
Soon the doctor and nurse came together, and after observing Song Lingxi's condition, they pushed her into the operating room. Fortunately, she was originally scheduled to undergo a caesarean section tonight, so Song Lingxi did not eat during this period.
Zong Xuecheng followed all the way to the door of the operating room. His lips were pale and cold sweat was pouring down his forehead like a waterfall. His hands and feet had lost all feeling and he couldn't even hold his hands.
He originally planned to enter the operating room to accompany Song Lingxi, but when he arrived at the surgery door, scenes from his previous life kept flashing through his mind.
He was not with Song Lingxi at that time, and the child was delivered by caesarean section, but the reason for the caesarean section was that Song Lingxi's body had reached its limit and the child would be in danger if she didn't have a caesarean section.
When he arrived at the hospital, Song Lingxi was lying on the bed, dying.
The strange thing was that at that moment he felt like the one who was about to die.
Maybe it was true. When Song Lingxi closed his eyes completely, he also died. The days that followed were nothing more than a puppet with unfulfilled wishes.
Later he really died.
Zong Xuecheng tried hard to control his shaking hands, opened the operating room door with both hands, and then disinfected, put on a mask and protective clothing...
"Don't be afraid," Zong Xuecheng walked over to Song Lingxi and held her hand, "I'm always here."
Song Lingxi was not very scared. She felt that Zong Xuecheng looked much more scared than she was, so she kindly said, "If you are scared, just get out."
She is mentally strong and doesn't need anyone to accompany her.
Zong Xuecheng held Song Lingxi's hand tightly without saying anything.
The operation went on second by second, and just when Song Lingxi was a little drowsy, a baby's cry was heard.
The doctor brought the baby to Song Ling's cheek and asked her to confirm the baby's gender.
Song Lingxi: “…” Oh my god, he’s even uglier than Xie Qiao when he was just born.
The doctor held the baby in Zong Xuecheng's arms and said, "It's a girl. Go get vaccinated first. Please sign."
Zong Xuecheng opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word. He was completely frozen, let alone signing.
Seeing this, the doctor had no choice but to give the pen to Song Lingxi and ask her to sign.
When Song Lingxi's wound was sutured and he was pushed to the resuscitation room, Zong Xuecheng followed him belatedly. He was in a trance the whole time but was extremely nervous, staring at Song Lingxi every moment.
Just like that, on an ordinary day, Song Lingxi gave birth to a daughter. The process was ordinary and without any surprises.
Afterwards, Xie Qiao and Zong Fei both took leave to come to the hospital to see their newborn little sister. They both vied to name the little sister and neither of them would give in.
It was Song Lingxi who made the final decision and decided to let their daughter take her surname. As for the name, they would draw lots when the baby was one month old. All people who were related to the baby by blood would write a name on a piece of paper, and the baby would be called by the name they drew.
Finally, the baby caught the name given by Xie Qiao, Song Chan.
Xie Qiao came up with this name for a reason.
First, my sister and mother are both safe. It was with the help of the old monk that they were able to change their fate. It is all thanks to the blessing of Buddhism.
Second, Zen, Zen intention, and enlightenment.
In the past, Ananda, a disciple of Buddha, fell in love with a young girl. The Buddha asked: How much do you love that girl?
Ananda replied: I wish to transform myself into a stone bridge, I wish to transform myself into a stone bridge, to endure the wind for five hundred years, the sun for five hundred years, and the rain for five hundred years, just to ask for the girl to walk across the bridge.
The Buddha said: Ananda, the girl who walked across the bridge one day just walked across, but you have turned into a stone bridge, destined to endure wind and rain.
Ananda was silent.
The Buddha sighed: Ananda, how much do you love her? Just to meet her once, you are willing to sacrifice your life and endure the pain of fate.
Xie Qiao knew the origin of his name from a very young age. He could sense the deep love his father had for him that he was unwilling to let go of but had to give up.
He did not dare to guess whether his mother would respond, but everything has its own Zen potential. Nothing can be accomplished without Zen potential. Only when Zen potential is there can one be enlightened.
If he represents the past and represents that Zen enlightenment has not yet arrived, then Achan's birth is a new beginning, for Achan, his mother, Uncle Zong, and him and Zong Fei.
…
Ten years later.
The cherry blossoms in Haicheng are blooming again. A slim woman came to the cemetery holding a bunch of pink roses. She put down the flowers, took out a tissue and wiped the photo on the tombstone. After a moment of silence, she left.
After leaving the cemetery, Song Lingxi got in the car and left. On the way, she received a frantic phone call from Xie Qiao: "Mom, where have you been? Song Chan is going to die!"
Song Lingxi was too lazy to tell him that she went to the cemetery, so she skipped the question and asked lazily, "She was taken on a helicopter ride by you a few days ago. From this perspective, she is definitely in space."
Xie Qiao: “…”
Speaking of this, Xie Qiao dared not speak loudly, but it was not his fault. Song Chan, this young man, was a smart kid and had something on him, so he insisted on asking him to teach him how to fly a plane.
"Isn't Zong Fei back? She listens to Zong Fei the most." Song Lingxi asked.
“…”
Xie Qiao was silent.
It was Zong Fei who brought Song Chan together to bully him! Damn it, it was so embarrassing to talk about such a thing. He was a professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but he was teased by his brother and ten-year-old sister.
Song Lingxi sighed, "Where is Zong Xuecheng?"
This was another question that Xie Qiao could not answer. Uncle Zong was already preparing to propose to her for the 99th time, but he thought that it would be difficult to succeed in this lifetime.
Just like Uncle Zong had been their neighbor for ten years and was still their neighbor today; just like his mother decided to return to Haicheng to live and would never leave in her life.
No one can change her decision.
But nothing is absolute in this world. Maybe one day in the future, Song Lingxi will agree when she is in a good mood?
