Chapter 1115 Xingyu's wish: You will know after having a child
It is often said that people who have entered into marriage are well aware of one truth: whether you marry a man or a ghost, you will know after you give birth to a child with him. Su Xingya's experience has confirmed the profound meaning of this saying.
During delivery, Su Xingya chose to have an epidural, which made the entire delivery process go unexpectedly smoothly.
At first, the pain from the contractions was like sharp needles, piercing her nerves and almost making her collapse.
Fortunately, after the pain-free injection took effect, it was like a gentle shield that isolated her from most of the severe pain, allowing her to recover a little and concentrate on welcoming the arrival of a new life.
Even so, when the loud cry suddenly rang out in the delivery room, breaking the tension and silence in the room, Su Xingya, a first-time mother, couldn't help but instantly redden her eyes.
It is a complex emotion that is difficult to describe, including the relief after going through hardships, the love for the new life, and the regrets for the past. All these emotions are intertwined and turned into tears in the eyes.
When the nurse approached slowly with the baby in her arms and a smile on her face, Su Xingya stretched out her hand for the first time ever. A strong desire surged in her heart, wanting to hug this little thing that was connected to her by blood.
The little guy's face is rosy, like a ripe apple, and his little hands are waving in the air unconsciously, which looks very adorable.
However, after the nurse gently reported the child's basic condition, such as weight, height, health status, etc., she turned around and walked out with the child in her arms.
Su Xingya subconsciously looked towards the door, but found it empty. She thought Gu Yunqian would be there, but he was not there. She couldn't help feeling a little lost.
However, not long after, when Su Xingya was pushed out of the delivery room, she looked up and saw Gu Yunqian coming towards her impatiently.
He looked a little disheveled and his hair was a little messy, probably because he was pacing back and forth anxiously while waiting.
His eyes were still wet, obviously he had just wiped away the tears not long ago. The red and swollen eye sockets revealed his previous grief and anxiety.
Before Su Xingya could speak, he bent down and kissed her forehead gently, as if he was afraid of being late for a second. Then, he said affectionately and softly, "Thank you for your hard work!" Those three words, like the warm spring sun, instantly warmed Su Xingya's heart.
When I returned to the ward, I saw Ye Muxue and Gu Mingcheng were already there, busy with their newborn grandson.
The little guy was placed in the crib. The two elders teased him for a while, and then carefully checked whether he was wrapped tightly in the swaddling clothes. Their eyes were full of love and pampering.
However, after hearing the noise behind them, they did not hide their concern for their daughter-in-law. Ye Muxue quickly walked to Su Xingya's bed, took her hand, and asked softly: "How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Gu Mingcheng also nodded in agreement, his eyes full of concern.
Gu Yunqian did not delay for a moment, and directly took out the food for restoring his strength from the package brought by Ye Muxue. There was a carefully cooked nutritious porridge, which was soft, sweet, and still steaming;
There were fruits cut into small pieces for easy eating, with bright colors, and you could tell at a glance that they were carefully selected. Even the drinking water was prepared in advance, and the temperature was just right, not too hot or too cold.
This series of details, like a pair of gentle hands, gently pulled at Su Xingya's heart, as if they were all quietly reminding her: This kind of life can actually go on like this, plain and warm, full of the flavor of human life...
In the ward, a warm atmosphere permeated the air, like the dancing willow catkins in the warm spring sun.
Although Gu Yunqian would occasionally briefly shift his gaze to the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, his eyes seemed to be pulled by a silk thread and would soon return to Su Xingya, with his main attention always focused on her.
He considerately handed Su Xingya some water of suitable temperature to moisten her dry throat;
After a while, he gently handed her a warm towel to help her wipe the fine beads of sweat on her forehead. The whole care process was meticulous and comprehensive.
After a short while, their hands naturally overlapped each other as if they were in sync, conveying each other's warmth and peace of mind.
Suddenly, Gu Mingcheng seemed to be struck by a bolt of lightning and remembered something important.
One of their most important tasks during this visit to the hospital is to give the child a good name with profound meaning.
He reached out and slowly took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his arms. After unfolding it, he saw three big characters "Gu Yanxiao" written on it.
The word "Yan" means literature, which implies that the child will be well-read and talented in the future; the word "Xiao" means martial arts, which means that we hope the child will have the courage and determination to conquer the battlefield of life.
A simple name, but full of deep expectations for grandson!
Su Xingya nodded slightly and had no objection.
After all, this was Gu Yunqian's first child. She knew very well that wealthy families had to pay a lot of attention to naming their children. This matter, which concerned family inheritance, was most appropriate to be handled by the respected elders in the family.
In order not to disturb Su Xingya's rest and recuperation, Gu Mingcheng and Ye Muxue quickly left the room with satisfaction and accomplishment.
For a moment, the three of them were the only ones left in the huge room, and a special kind of warmth flowed in the silence.
Gu Yunqian just tilted his head slightly, closed his eyes lightly, and gathered his deep affection. He was ready to hold Su Xingya's hand and express all the burning love that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, but he didn't expect to be disrupted by the "naughty boy" in the crib next to him.
The little guy seemed to sense something and suddenly started humming and waving his little hands in the air, which immediately ruined Gu Yunqian's mood.
He sighed helplessly, but there was no complaint in that sigh, only pampering.
Then, methodically, he reached out and touched the child's diaper, pressing lightly with his fingers. In just a moment, he understood.
Then, he swiftly took out clean diapers, wet wipes and other items from the cabinet nearby. His technique was as skillful as that of a well-trained professional nanny, and he easily changed the child's diaper in a few seconds.
Su Xingya took in all of this, her eyes full of surprise and curiosity, and soon asked the question in her heart: "When did you learn all this?"
Gu Yunqian pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a slightly childish smile, and proudly showed off his "achievements": "When you... were little, I helped take care of my sisters, and I have also reviewed a lot of parenting experience in the past few days. Changing diapers, feeding, and coaxing them to sleep are all no problem."
In a flash, he had already swiftly taken the breast pump and placed it beside Su Xingya's bed. He looked at her with concern, "Don't worry, have a good rest, I'll take care of it."
When Su Xingya saw this, a hint of shyness flashed across her face, as if she were a peach blossom swaying in the spring breeze, delicate and charming.
In the following days, life really went on in an orderly manner just as Gu Yunqian had said.
He does everything himself regarding the child, from feeding and burping to bathing and putting him to sleep, and his movements are becoming more and more skillful and easy.
As for Su Xingya, apart from filling her stomach on time to replenish the nutrients needed by her body, and then sucking milk obediently on time to reserve "rations" for her child, she has no other "job".
She had never imagined such a leisurely and comfortable life where she would be well cared for.
She lay quietly on the bed, watching Gu Yunqian's busy and happy figure, her thoughts drifting away like dandelion seeds in the wind.
Inexplicably, she began to reflect on the past, and found that the warm time of just a few days had quietly changed her state of mind, making her unable to empathize with the self who only wanted to leave and was confused about the future...
