The little one's cries were very weak, compared to her two children.
This child is clearly weaker than a kitten.
Even though the son is a little weaker than the daughter, the two little devils in the family can still eat and sleep well.
Moreover, he is in good health and has a loud voice.
But this little girl in front of me has only been born a few days ago.
Not only have I not gained weight, but I've become so thin that I'm pouting and looking like I'm about to cry.
The crying was so faint it was barely audible, barely even a kitten's meow. You couldn't hear it unless you were standing right next to the crib. No wonder the nurses didn't come into the room.
Chen Ruixue couldn't help but sigh, and with a soft heart, she picked the child up from the crib.
For some reason, the little one stopped crying after nestling in her arms.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and those dark, bright eyes met Chen Ruixue's gaze.
Those big eyes were wet.
Chen Ruixue's heart was instantly captivated by those eyes.
If she was initially filled with repulsion towards the child when she suspected her husband, she now genuinely sympathizes with the child.
The little one lay in her arms without crying or fussing, but pressed his little face against her chest.
He pressed his face against her chest forcefully.
Chen Ruixue blushed, and her chest heaved slightly. It was a maternal instinct; although her son and daughter were already a year old, they were still breastfeeding.
Whenever her child snuggles against her chest, or whenever the child cries, her chest throbs with pain.
As if by maternal instinct, the little one nestled against her chest, causing Chen Ruixue's breasts to swell violently.
The little one seemed to smell the milky scent and tried to nudge it, but she was too weak. Seemingly anxious, she let out two soft cries.
In the end, Chen Ruixue's sympathy prevailed.
Holding her child, she sat on the hospital bed and unbuttoned her clothes.
She remembered the head nurse saying that the baby needed to be fed with a syringe, and they all doubted whether the little guy would be able to eat.
Strangely enough, this little guy is so small that his tiny mouth makes one wonder if he can do such a difficult job.
Unfortunately, all of Chen Ruixue's doubts vanished the moment the child touched her chest.
The little guy acted almost instinctively.
They started eating heartily, following the source.
If she was a little unfamiliar with things at first, Chen Ruixue even felt a slight pain in her chest.
But this little guy went from having no rules at all to gradually finding a pattern.
Watching the little guy wolf down his food, with milk even spilling from the corners of his mouth.
Chen Ruixue gently coaxed the little one while controlling the flow rate.
Otherwise, she was really afraid the child would choke.
Half an hour later, the little guy was full and even burped.
Chen Ruixue held her and gently patted her until she burped, then put her back in her crib.
But as soon as the child touched the bed, he started crying again.
Helpless, Chen Ruixue had no choice but to pick her up again. Strangely enough, the child would not cry or fuss as long as she lay in Chen Ruixue's arms.
Chen Ruixue sighed helplessly and gently poked the little guy's nose with her hand.
"You little rascal, aren't you going to sleep after you've eaten your fill?"
"Go to sleep, Auntie has to go to work. I'll come see you again after I get off work, okay?"
Whether the little one truly understood or Chen Ruixue's gentle voice had an effect, the little one gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Chen Ruixue gently put her down, and the child indeed stopped crying.
The little one was sleeping soundly. Chen Ruixue glanced at him reluctantly before he turned and went to work.
I was late today.
For some reason, Chen Ruixue was somewhat distracted at work all day today.
Just thinking about how well-behaved that child looked, nestled against my chest, fills my heart with warmth.
Putting a child in the pediatric ward isn't because we don't trust the doctors and nurses.
Instead, she felt that perhaps the child needed his mother's care more.
This incredibly brave baby was separated from her biological mother right after birth, and now she needs care and attention. All the doctors and nurses can do is look after her.
And I couldn't give her that much love.
When Chen Ruixue got off work, she quietly slipped away to the pediatrics department again.
I went straight into the ward, which was still quiet.
Actually, this room is more accurately described as a ward specifically prepared for seriously ill children.
The little guy had his own room, and when you opened the door, you could feel how cold and deserted the room was.
The thought of this little guy having to be alone every day, crying or hungry, only being noticed when the nurses come, made Chen Ruixue's heart ache.
She walked to the crib, assuming the child was asleep.
Unexpectedly, their eyes met perfectly in the little guy's bright, dark eyes.
When the little guy saw Chen Ruixue, the corners of his mouth curved up, and two little dimples immediately appeared.
That smile instantly melted Chen Ruixue's heart.
Chen Ruixue clapped her hands lightly and said with a smile.
"My little darling, I've come to see you."
I held the little one in my arms, and sure enough, the little girl instinctively leaned her head against me.
Chen Ruixue knew she was hungry.
When Ouyang Zhenyu returned home, he was surprised to find Chen Ruixue missing and asked,
"Mom, hasn't Ruixue come back yet?"
His wife usually gets home earlier than him. Their propaganda department doesn't have much work, so they usually go home on time and rarely work overtime.
Besides, she is Dean Ouyang's wife. No one would ask Chen Ruixue to work overtime. He can still give his wife this kind of privilege.
Grandma Ouyang and Mother Chen were smiling as they fed their grandson and granddaughter, one on each side.
"No, Ruixue didn't come back. We both thought you and Ruixue would come back together."
"It's so late, why don't you go greet the snow?"
Ouyang Zhenyu found it strange, as his wife rarely came home this late.
However, the security situation here is not good now. If my wife comes home alone at night and encounters danger on the way, it will be troublesome.
Ouyang Zhenyu turned and walked out, but before he even stepped out of the house, he saw Chen Ruixue riding her bicycle in.
Reaching out to take his wife's bicycle, Ouyang Zhenyu asked,
"Why are you so late? Does your publicity department have so much to do? It seems I'll have to talk to your department head tomorrow."
Chen Ruixue complained coquettishly.
"Don't do anything reckless. If you go to our section chief, he'll practically treat me like royalty."
Besides, I'm not coming back late today; it's not like our department is working overtime.
"So what did you go to do?"
Ouyang Zhenyu locked his bicycle in the yard.
He went back inside and fetched a basin of hot water for his wife to wash her face and hands.
Chen Ruixue said this while washing her face.
"Zhenyu, I want to discuss something with you."
