Chapter 574: Happiness (The Finale)
Chapter 574: Happiness (The Finale)
After Song Miqiu fell asleep, although Yu Huailin wanted to stay with her, he had not yet seen the child, so he could only go out to see the child for the time being.
At this time, Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei were waiting outside, and Tian Yumei was holding a child in her arms.
Upon seeing him come out, Qiu Tianlei couldn't help but tease him, "You finally decided to come out. I thought you were planning to abandon the child. You don't care about the child at all."
Tian Yumei couldn't help but slap Qiu Tianlei to tell him not to talk like that.
Yu Huailin breathed a sigh of relief: "I was just worried about Qiu'er, so naturally I wasn't thinking about the child. I just came out to check on the child."
"The child is very well-behaved."
Tian Yumei brought the child to Yu Huailin and said with a smile.
Yu Huailin glanced down at the baby in the swaddling clothes. The baby was wrinkled and looked very ugly. He said without any mercy, "So ugly."
Not only did he say that, but his eyes also showed disgust. He didn't understand why the child was so ugly when he and Song Miqiu were both good-looking.
Qiu Tianlei, speaking with the tone of someone who's been through it all, said to him, "All newborn babies look like this. They'll look better in a few days. Besides, yours is a son."
You're such a terrible father! You don't even know if your child is a boy or a girl.
Upon hearing Qiu Tianlei's words, Yu Huailin finally understood what was going on. He looked down at his child without even reaching out his hand.
Qiu Tianlei couldn't stand it anymore: "This child is your child, not our child. What's the point of us holding him like this? Hurry up and hold him."
As she spoke, she snatched the child from Tian Yumei's hands and placed it directly into Yu Huailin's arms.
Yu Huailin held the child stiffly, not daring to move. In the end, having no other choice, he gave the child to Tian Yumei again.
"I... I can't hold her properly, you guys should hold her. She's too... too small and too soft. Please help me out. I'm going to check on Qiu'er. I'm afraid she won't see me when she wakes up."
After saying that, Yu Huailin turned and walked into the inner room. Looking at his back, it seemed as if he was fleeing in panic.
Qiu Tianlei looked at his back, then turned his gaze to Tian Yumei: "Did he just run away? Is someone chasing him?"
Upon hearing his words, Tian Yumei couldn't help but smile. She didn't say anything, but instead focused her gaze on the child in her arms.
It was past midnight when Song Miqiu woke up, her whole body aching, and she couldn't help but cry out.
Yu Huailin had been watching over her. Hearing her voice, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is there still pain somewhere? Should I go and call the imperial physician?"
Song Miqiu shook her head repeatedly: "It's nothing, I just haven't gotten used to it yet. Haven't you rested?"
"How can I rest when you're like this? You haven't eaten anything yet. I'll go and have someone prepare something for you. What would you like to eat? Would meat porridge be alright?"
Yu Huailin looked at Song Miqiu with great heartache and asked softly.
In fact, Yu Huailin had already had the meat porridge prepared long ago, just waiting for Song Miqiu to wake up.
Song Miqiu nodded.
Yu Huailin quickly had someone bring over the meat porridge, then sat down by the bed and helped Song Miqiu feed her.
At first, everything was fine, but as she was eating, Song Miqiu suddenly burst into tears and said in a distressed tone, "My body hurts so much, I really hurt so much."
Seeing her like this broke Yu Huailin's heart. He quickly comforted her, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, I know you're in pain. It's all my fault, it's all my fault."
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have had to suffer so much. It's all my fault. Don't cry anymore. If it still hurts, hit me, let me feel the pain with you, okay?"
Once Song Miqiu's emotions stabilized, Yu Huailin continued to feed her and even carefully wiped her mouth.
"Would you like anything else to eat?" Yu Huailin asked.
"I don't want to eat anymore. Where's the child? Why isn't he here? I haven't seen him yet. Can I see him? Is he a boy or a girl?"
After finishing her meal, Song Miqiu wanted to see her child, whom she hadn't seen since birth.
Yu Huailin smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll bring the baby to you in a little while, don't worry, okay? It's a boy."
I'll go get the child right now, so you can see him/her.
Song Miqiu nodded repeatedly.
Seeing that she was alright, Yu Huailin went out. He had already sent Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei back home, as the two of them needed to rest.
After Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei left, the child was handed over to the wet nurse. He took the child in his arms. Although the child's body was still stiff, it was much better than the first time.
Song Miqiu lay half-reclined on the edge of the bed. Seeing Yu Huailin carefully holding the child, she couldn't help but smile and asked softly, "Why did you bring him here? Where are the others?"
“Of course I should hold him myself. Here, the child is yours.” Yu Huailin placed the child in Song Miqiu’s arms.
Song Miqiu looked down at the child in her arms, radiating maternal warmth. She smiled and said, "You've never held a child before, I was afraid you'd drop him."
"I'll learn slowly, don't worry, I'll definitely learn well, and then I'll be able to carry you and your daughter in my arms," Yu Huailin said with a smile.
"I won't let you hug me."
After Song Miqiu finished speaking, she continued to stare at the child in her arms. She still hadn't expected that she would become a mother. It was truly a special experience.
"Have you named your child yet?" Song Miqiu asked, looking up.
Yu Huailin nodded: "Of course we'll name it, but I'd like to ask you if you're satisfied."
"What are you calling me?"
“Chenxu, Chen means extraordinary talent, like a star in the sky, and Xu means sunshine and warmth, like the rising sun. What do you think of the meaning of this?” Yu Huailin looked at her.
Song Miqiu recited the name several times, finding both its meaning and the name itself to be exceptionally auspicious.
"This is a very good name. It seems your father likes you very much," Song Miqiu whispered to the child in her arms.
Yu Huailin kept looking at Song Miqiu. Suddenly, he hugged the two most important people to him and whispered, "Qiu'er, thank you."
From today onwards, I have family too. And thank you for giving birth to this child for me.
"Didn't I already say that having a child with the one you love won't be hard? You don't need to say that again," Song Miqiu said with a smile.
Yu Huailin said softly, "When you gave birth, it really terrified me. I've been regretting it ever since, I shouldn't have let you go through such pain."
“These are our children. I don’t feel like they are suffering,” Song Miqiu said softly, trying to comfort them.
Yu Huailin hugged her tightly.
Time flies, and the four of us, with our daily meals and the changing seasons, remain the same.
