Chapter 470
Chapter 470
As soon as the car stopped at the hospital entrance, Zhou Yueshen scooped up the two children and quickly strode into the hospital.Just as he found the direction of the delivery room, he collided head-on with Chen Haoran.
Chen Haoran was knocked flying. Since his legs were already a bit weak, he ended up sitting on the ground with two streams of blood running down his nose.
Ouch, which blind... Master Zhou! Master, you're here! Boohoo, you're finally here! Hurry, come with me, the master's wife is waiting for you!
He didn't dare call Si Nian Sister in front of Zhou Yueshen. Seeing him, it was as if he had instantly found his pillar of support. He casually wiped the blood from his nose and hurriedly led him to the delivery room.
Chen Haoran was still chattering away, There is not a single sound from inside, I am scared to death!
Zhou Yueshen's eyes turned cold as he shot him a glance. Chen Haoran finally realized he shouldn't be saying such inauspicious things and quickly covered his mouth.
Zhou Yueshen didn't speak. He just stared motionlessly at the three red words In Surgery. If it weren't for the excessive force and stiffness in the way he held his son's and daughter's hands, probably no one would have noticed anything unusual about him.
It was not easy for women to give birth. In the past, in the countryside, many women ruined their health due to difficult labor.
Therefore, during Si Nian's pregnancy, Zhou Yueshen had always taken extremely careful care of her.
He tried his best to keep her from suffering. Fortunately, Si Nian had a good constitution. Aside from being emotionally sensitive during her pregnancy, no accidents had occurred.
But now that she was about to give birth, a profound sense of reality finally hit him. His heart couldn't stop pounding wildly, not out of excitement or joy, but a certain kind of fear.
A fear he dared not think too deeply about. Zhou Yueshen closed his eyes and took a deep breath, just to keep his body from being so stiff.
He let go of the two children's hands, took a big stride forward, and was about to go in.
Chen Haoran hurriedly reminded him, You can't go in, Master. The doctor said you can't go in.
Zhou Yueshen paused. He tried hard to listen for any sound inside, but it was terrifyingly quiet.
In the past, when a sister-in-law in their military unit gave birth, she screamed for a whole day and night until she finally lost her voice and almost didn't make it.
He was very worried. Was Si Nian in so much pain that she didn't even have the strength to cry out?
Meanwhile, inside the delivery room, Si Nian was half-lying on the hospital bed. To be honest, she was dumbfounded. She had just entered the delivery room and lain down for a short while when the doctor said the baby was coming and told her to push.
It hurt a bit, but not enough to make her scream. Si Nian had originally come in expecting immense pain and had fully prepared herself mentally.
But she never expected to be the lucky one.
She had heard that nine out of ten childbirths were agonizingly painful.
Yet unexpectedly, she turned out to be the exception who didn't experience that extreme pain.
While Si Nian was lost in thought, she heard the doctor say loudly, I see the head, push harder!
She immediately snapped back to reality and quickly pushed. A tearing pain almost made her cry out, and then she heard the doctor's voice, He is out, he is out! Congratulations, it is a boy!
Si Nian had long prepared herself mentally; she would love the baby whether it was a boy or a girl.
Hearing this, she immediately took a moment to look up. The baby was being held by the doctor, so she couldn't see clearly. She still had the strength to ask, Doctor, why isn't he crying?
After ensuring the baby's health was good, the doctor patted the baby twice. The baby cried a few times symbolically and then quieted down again in a very good state. The doctor breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Si Nian, It is fine, he cried. It is normal, although his crying was a bit perfunctory. He is still whimpering after crying, very cute. I haven't delivered such a chubby and cute little baby in many years.
Si Nian's mouth twitched. She thought to herself that after being smacked, how could the baby not whimper?
However, hearing the cry put her mind at ease.
Most newborns were wrinkled and looked like little old men, but Si Nian's baby had very elastic skin, which was truly surprising.
Right after giving birth, she heard the nurse say, Comrade Si, your husband has rushed over. He really has good luck. He just got here, and you gave birth. Do you need me to call him in?
Hearing this, Si Nian was displeased. What do you mean he has good luck? It is not like he is the one giving birth.
At such a crucial moment as her giving birth, that older man only arrived after she was done.
Although she hadn't expected to give birth so quickly either, Si Nian still felt a bit wronged.
Ever since she got pregnant, she had constantly dreamed of the childbirth scene.
She had always imagined her man staying right by her side, but imagination was just a beautiful ideal.
Si Nian firmly refused to mention the fact that she was the one who had sent him out to dig mud.
She deliberately wanted to let her older man panic outside for a while, to make him anxious.
Just as she told the nurse to ignore him, the delivery room door was suddenly pushed open.
Zhou Yueshen had good ears. He had heard the baby's two cries. He walked in with a terrible expression on his face, Nian...
Before he could finish his sentence, Zhou Yueshen met the eyes of Si Nian, who was half-leaning on the bed telling the nurse not to tell him and let him worry for a bit.
...This little rascal.
Meeting the man's deep gaze, Si Nian suddenly felt guilty.
Ouch, I suddenly feel so uncomfortable. I need to lie down to get better.
She held her forehead and lay down, pretending to sleep.
Footsteps sounded behind her. Zhou Yueshen pulled her hand and held it tightly in his, saying, Don't be angry, it is my fault. I shouldn't have gone out.
Although Zhou Yueshen also didn't expect it to go so smoothly, he still felt extremely guilty for not being by his wife's side at this critical moment.
Causing her to harbor resentment.
Si Nian had originally wanted to pretend to sleep, but hearing these words, she suddenly felt aggrieved. She said in a hoarse voice, You weren't home, I was scared to death.
Zhou Yueshen said, I know, it is all my fault. I will definitely stay home and accompany you from now on.
Si Nian saw that his head was covered in sweat and his clothes were soaked.
She also knew that the man must have rushed over in a great hurry. He hadn't even changed his shoes and was still wearing his slippers from home.
Seeing that his arms holding hers were tense, with veins popping out.
She knew that the man had been frightened too.
A man as mature and steady as him could also lose control because of her.
Si Nian felt genuinely warm inside. Perhaps she really loved this man so much that she thought everything about him was good and couldn't bear to blame him.
Even when she was angry, she would immediately become happy as soon as he admitted his mistake. She never knew she was such an easily satisfied person.
Or perhaps, when you meet the right person, you really do become hopelessly romantic.
She had seen too much falsehood and had never held any expectations for love.
Her mindset had always been that if a relationship works, fine; if not, forget it. She was determined never to put love first.
But Zhou Yueshen broke her prejudice against this relationship.
He let her know that there really was someone who would always dote on her and give to her without expecting anything in return.
At this moment, Si Nian didn't know what the future would be like or if he would change.
But she only knew that she was truly happy right now.
Cherish the present!
Si Nian blinked hard and reached out her arms toward Zhou Yueshen.
She said in a muffled voice, I want a hug.
The tension in Zhou Yueshen's brow relaxed. He immediately bent down and pulled her into his arms, his thin lips lightly pecking hers. Be good, it is all over now.
The nurse behind them, holding the baby and having tried multiple times to get the father to take a look at his child: ......
Si Nian was moved to a different ward. As coincidence would have it, there were a lot of people giving birth today, and the hospital had no empty private rooms left, so they placed her in a double room.
Zhou Yueshen carried Si Nian to the ward. Leaning against the man's chest, she felt an unprecedented sense of comfort and relaxation.
After this extreme relaxation, a wave of exhaustion washed over her.
Zhou Yueshen laid her down on the bed, pulled up the covers, and gently patted her back with his large hand.
Si Nian blinked, let out a yawn, and asked the man, Where are Yaoyao and Little Han?
Zhou Yueshen replied in a low voice, They just went to fetch some hot water with Chen Haoran.
Just as he spoke, Chen Haoran came over carrying the hot water, accompanied by the two children.
Zhou Yueshen glanced at them and whispered, Keep your voices down.
The adult and the two little ones immediately slowed their pace and walked in carefully.
Seeing Si Nian tilting her head to look at them, not yet asleep, the two children couldn't hold back anymore. They immediately ran over, clinging to the edge of the bed and looking at her. Mom, Mom, are you okay?
Mom, does it hurt?
Before the two children could even finish speaking, their little eyes turned red.
They had been terrified just now, deeply worried that something bad might happen to Si Nian.
Seeing her lying safely on the bed now, they felt both happy and lingering fear.
Si Nian smiled and rubbed the two children's heads. Mom is fine, it doesn't hurt anymore.
Mom, don't have any more babies for Dad in the future. Having babies is so scary.
When the two children were waiting outside earlier, they hadn't heard Si Nian's voice, but they had heard the miserable screams of a woman in another delivery room.
The screams were absolutely heart-wrenching.
Just now, when they passed by on their way back from fetching hot water, that woman was still screaming.
The two children were completely stunned with fear.
It was Chen Haoran who hurriedly used the excuse of fetching hot water to lead the two children away.
He was afraid they would be traumatized.
Hearing this, Si Nian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Zhou Yueshen glanced at his son, withdrew his gaze, and looked down at Si Nian, adjusting her blanket. Alright, don't disturb your mother. She is very tired and needs to rest.
Okay then. Mom, rest quickly, we will stay right here with you.
Second Child mimicked his father's actions, reaching out his little hand to gently pat Si Nian, looking as though he was trying to coax her to sleep.
Yaoyao stayed close to her second brother, sitting obediently by the side.
Chen Haoran stood to the side, looking at the father and children gathered around the bed coaxing Si Nian to sleep, feeling that something wasn't quite right.
After pausing for a good while, he finally realized what it was and asked with wide eyes, Where is the baby?
At this exclamation, the adult and the two little ones all turned to look at him.
Their expressions were even more bewildered than his. Right, where was the baby?
Dad, where is our little brother or sister?
Dad, little brother or sister?
The two children looked at their father.
Zhou Yueshen's expression stiffened.
Fortunately, a nurse came over carrying the baby at that moment, letting out an exaggerated sigh. What kind of father are you, not even wanting your own child.
Zhou Yueshen stiffly stood up straight and looked at the baby the nurse had brought over.
The baby had been washed clean and wrapped in a small blanket by the nurse, currently sleeping soundly with closed eyes.
This father and son duo seemed to specialize in completely ignoring each other.
The nurse handed the baby to him and said, I'm still busy. You family members need to take good care of the baby yourselves, don't go forgetting the child again.
Although the nurse was teasing, she was actually quite envious of Si Nian.
Having worked here for five or six years, she had seen plenty of families who excitedly swarmed around the newborn baby, while the woman who had just given birth was left without a single word of concern.
Seeing a man who cared only about his woman to the point of completely forgetting about the baby was truly a rare sight for her.
Zhou Yueshen stiffly took the baby. Seeing his awkwardness, the nurse wanted to laugh. You already have so many children, how come you don't even know how to hold a baby?
After saying that, she carefully taught Zhou Yueshen how to hold the infant.
Once the nurse left, Second Child, who had been curiously watching and learning from the side, immediately stood on his tiptoes and reached out his hands. Dad, let me hold him.
Zhou Yueshen frowned at the sight of him. You are still too small, you can't hold him.
Second Child immediately replied, I know how to hold him, I just learned how.
Zhou Yueshen's movements were stiff; the little bundle in his arms was simply too fragile. There was no way he would dare hand the baby over to his careless son.
So he said in a deep voice, Wait until your little brother is a bit older, then you can hold him.
Second Child was very disappointed. He pouted, looked up at his little brother's sweetly sleeping face, then tilted his head to look at his mother on the bed, before twisting around and running back.
Then you hold little brother yourself, I'm going to stay with Mom.
Zhou Yueshen...
Dad, I want to see little brother. Yaoyao struggled on her tiptoes but still couldn't see, anxiously tugging at Zhou Yueshen's pant leg.
Zhou Yueshen snapped back to reality and crouched down to let his daughter take a look.
Although the baby had just been born, he was round and chubby, his little mouth pursed tight, looking incredibly adorable.
This was his own child.
Zhou Yueshen had originally thought he would never have a biological child in his lifetime.
He used to think it didn't matter at all.
He hadn't even understood why some families would argue and fight just to have a child, treating it as an absolute necessity.
But at this moment, looking at his son's adorable sleeping face, his hardened heart completely melted into a puddle.
Perhaps this was the significance of a blood connection.
The hospital bed wasn't large, so Zhou Yueshen had Chen Haoran go find a crib. He laid the baby down to sleep, then sat back down beside Si Nian, gazing blankly at her sleeping face.
Si Nian's cheeks were flushed, and she looked like she was sleeping very comfortably.
The baby beside her slept in the exact same manner.
His eyes were gentle. Just as he reached out to brush the stray hairs from her forehead, another pregnant woman was wheeled in.
Immediately, a cacophony of chattering voices rang out.
It was unbearably noisy.
Zhou Yueshen frowned and glanced over, seeing the woman lying on the hospital bed looking completely exhausted, her face deathly pale.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged woman who had followed her in was still chattering and scolding, You useless thing, another daughter. You've already given birth to three daughters, what use are you?
A man standing nearby was smoking a cigarette and said gloomily, Mom, stop talking.
His complexion was clearly not very good either.
The two children, who had been leaning against the edge of the bed and were about to fall asleep, were woken up by the noise.
They rubbed their eyes in confusion and looked over.
But they saw that their father had already stood up, his deep voice interrupting the group's chatter as he said, Please keep your voices down, do not disturb my wife's rest.
After speaking, his gaze fell on the man puffing away on his cigarette. Please take your smoking outside.
The man was already irritated because his wife had just given birth to yet another daughter.
Hearing this, his face immediately darkened. Who the hell do you think you are? What gives you the right to tell me what to do? I'll smoke wherever I damn well please!
Before he could even finish his sentence, Zhou Yueshen strode forward and grabbed him by the collar.
Before the man could even react, he was lifted up and thrown right out of the ward.
He was burned by his cigarette butt and finally snapped back to reality. He looked up angrily, only to meet a pair of ruthless, icy eyes.
Can't you understand human speech?
The man's face instantly flushed red, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Before he could even open his mouth, his mother rushed out in a flurry. "Oh, you shameless thing! What gives you the right to lecture my son? So what if his smoking bothers you? If you have such a big problem with it, move to another room yourself! It's not like your family owns this hospital ward!"
