The little one was crying loudly because he was hungry.
Yun Jin's face flushed red, her heart filled with conflict.
He Tingchuan unconsciously clenched his fist as he pulled the curtain closed, the pitiful cries of his daughter ringing in his ears.
What did she do wrong that she had to go hungry right after she was born?
He Tingchuan felt sorry for his daughter. When the nurse came out from behind the curtain, she gave him a look. No words were needed. Everyone loves their daughter. The nurse knew he must have overheard their conversation.
The nurses in the obstetrics department are knowledgeable and speak professionally and efficiently: "Please apply a warm compress with a clean towel, and you should also brush your teeth to keep your mouth clean and hygienic."
Noticing He Tingchuan's discomfort, the nurse said, "Whether your daughter can get enough to eat depends on you. Everyone does it this way, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."
He Tingchuan nodded expressionlessly, but his ears had already betrayed him.
As soon as the nurse left, He Tingchuan went to brush his teeth.
Li Aimei prepared hot water to soak a clean towel.
Seeing Yun Jin's embarrassment, he suggested, "How about I do it?"
Yun Jin stared wide-eyed at Li Aimei's serious expression.
Li Aimei said without hesitation, "I helped my mom when she had a blocked milk duct before."
Yun Jin imagined the scene and shook her head in refusal: "Thank you for your love of beauty, but let my daughter's father handle this. We are husband and wife, this little thing is nothing."
Li Aimei thought about it and agreed: "Okay, call me if you need anything, and I'll stay outside."
Yun Jin smiled gratefully, then seemed to remember something: "Have you eaten?"
"I ate it. Commander He bought me meat buns. The meat buns at the hospital are quite delicious. Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm not hungry." Li Aimei was delighted to be able to eat meat buns.
Yun Jin was relieved.
He Tingchuan also came, his breath smelling strongly of toothpaste. He brushed his teeth twice, and if he wasn't worried about ruining his mouth, he would have brushed them a third time.
Seeing that the other family members were also in the room, He Tingchuan expressionlessly gave them two cents: "Please go to the cafeteria and get something to eat. Go now."
The family members said, "Why are you treating us to a meal?"
Before they could react, the new mothers, who were in a meeting, couldn't help but laugh: "You just go because we told you to. We've got food to keep you from complaining. Buy me an egg to nourish your son."
If she ate it, it means the child ate it.
The family members were sent away, and the new mothers laughed and said, "Alright, you young people are just too shy. You already have a baby, what's there to be embarrassed about? Don't worry, we won't peek."
He Tingchuan: "..."
Yun Jin pulled the blanket over her head, pretending she didn't exist.
Li Aimei, holding the wailing baby, said, "Commander He, can you hear how loud your daughter is crying?"
He Tingchuan was speechless. Amidst everyone's laughter, he lifted the curtain and looked at Yun Jin, who was covering her face: "Wife..."
While pretending to be dead with a towel covering her face, Yunjia also took the initiative to lift the blanket.
The scene was so shocking that He Tingchuan was completely dumbfounded.
He only came to his senses after Yun Jin snorted at him, and all he could hear was his little girl crying loudly, her voice almost hoarse from crying.
He Tingchuan clenched his fist, determined to go all in for his daughter's food.
When He Tingchuan lifted the curtain, his ears were bright red and his face was almost dripping blood. Without looking at anyone else, he took the pitifully crying, weak and hungry daughter from Li Aimei's hands and placed her on Yun Jin's chest.
Yun Jin's exposed ears were also blood-red.
Neither of them wanted to look at the other, and they tried to avoid eye contact.
One handed the child over, the other held the child.
The baby who took his first sip of milk had tears streaming down his face.
Yun Jin looked at the little one trying so hard to drink milk, her feelings complicated.
So this is what it feels like to be a mother.
He Tingchuan stood there, watching his daughter struggling to fill her stomach, and felt that it was all worth it.
After watching for a while, Yun Jin looked at He Tingchuan, and He Tingchuan looked at her as well. Their eyes met, and Yun Jin's watery eyes were filled with shyness, while her deep eyes sparkled.
The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously looked away.
That's really awkward.
It's so shameful!
An ambiguous atmosphere spread through the ward when the baby in the next bed suddenly burst into tears, breaking the oppressive and tense atmosphere.
The baby peed.
On Yun Jin's side, her little girl fell fast asleep after eating her fill, and Yun Jin didn't dare to move her for fear of disturbing her.
He Tingchuan asked through the curtain, "Are you hungry? I'll go to the cafeteria to buy you something to eat."
"Didn't Sister Li send any food?" Yun Jin still remembered Sister Li.
He Tingchuan glanced at the time: "It's too late, it'll probably be delivered tomorrow."
"Just give me a bowl of porridge, I can't eat anything else." Yun Jin knew that she couldn't eat too much nourishing food after giving birth, and that a light diet was best.
He Tingchuan nodded, told Li Aimei to stay by his side, and went to buy food. He bought not only a bowl of porridge but also two boiled eggs, which made the other patients in the ward turn their heads.
To be honest, they were hungry too.
The two cents He Tingchuan gave me weren't enough to buy any eggs.
Yun Jin sipped the porridge he brought her. Feeling a little uncomfortable being fed by him, she wanted to do it herself, but He Tingchuan stepped aside, saying, "You've had a hard day, I'll feed you."
Yun Jin could only awkwardly let He Tingchuan feed her.
He Tingchuan couldn't finish his bowl of porridge, so he peeled the egg. Yun Jin didn't even have time to stop him. She looked at the egg that was being offered to her mouth, took a bite of the egg white, and said, "I don't want the yolk. You can eat the rest yourself."
"I bought all of this for you." He Tingchuan frowned. "Is it not good? If you don't like hospital food, I'll cook for you when I get home tomorrow."
