Chapter 596: Chapter 440: Hoarding Thousands upon Thousands for Natural Disasters, Raising a Child, I Let It Go 28

Su Zhiruan was now lying flat on the bed with her hips elevated. Seeing that both Grandpa Wen and Grandma Wen had also come, she put down the documents in her hand and comforted them, “Why have you two come too? It’s still early. Why don’t you rest a bit?”

“Giving birth is a big deal. If you feel uncomfortable or anything else, you must tell us,” Grandma Wen tightly grasped Su Zhiruan’s hand, with Qingyu standing on one side, while Grandpa Wen nervously asked the nurses questions everywhere.

The doctors and nurses hadn’t delivered a baby in a long time. They walked around nervously, preparing for the task.

This was Qingyu’s first time becoming a father. During Su Zhiruan’s pregnancy, he had prepared a series of strategies, asked people about everything big and small, searched for information, and took tender care of her.

But now that the day had come, he was so nervous that his palms were sweating.

Eventually, Su Zhiruan, as the expectant mother, was the calmest one there.

She watched everyone busily moving around, and finally, with nothing else to do, picked up the documents again to continue reading.

“Ruanruan, are you nervous? If you are, I can keep you company by chatting?”

“If it hurts, tell me. If there’s any anomaly, we’ll call the nurse immediately. Don’t be nervous,” Qingyu comforted her anxiously. He was restless but stayed close to Su Zhiruan all the time.

“…I’m not nervous.” Su Zhiruan, dazzled by his pacing, put down the documents and took hold of him, “Why don’t you sit down for a while.”

“I’m worried…” his eyes shimmered as if he were about to cry at any moment, his hands tightly holding Su Zhiruan, his voice choked, “I wish I could take your place, Ruanruan, let’s not have this baby, just this one time, the very last time.”

Seeing him like this, Su Zhiruan felt a bit soft-hearted.

She put aside the documents and comforted him warmly, “It’s okay, don’t worry. The previous checks all went smoothly. We can have this baby smoothly this time too. After today, you’ll be a father and need to set an example for our child. Don’t be nervous.”

Qingyu’s beautiful eyes closed, and he kissed the back of her hand, seemingly talking to himself yet also seeming to pray.

“Everything will go smoothly.”

Su Zhiruan’s water had broken at ten in the morning, and she had come here to do a routine blood test and more.

Grandpa Wen and Grandma Wen had prepared some food and brought her lunch.

The base had previously found some oxytocin; after the injection, it quickly took effect.

Thanks to the Newbie Gift Package, her pain was significantly reduced, making it less unbearable.

Giving birth was different for everyone. She could feel that this time was taking longer than her previous experience in Small World. However, all things considered, it was manageable and not too tormented.

The Newbie Gift Package alleviated most of her pain. She felt a bit of pressure during contractions but no other sensations. During the waiting time, she read more than ten pages of her documents.

Aside from her, most people at the base were on tenterhooks, praying for her. Grandpa Wen and Grandma Wen sat in the corridor, unwilling to leave, continuously praying.

Meanwhile, Qingyu remained highly tense, any small disturbance sending him to Su Zhiruan’s side.

At eleven o’clock at night.

After another check, a nurse immediately went out to find other doctors and nurses.

Soon, a group of people wheeled her into the delivery room on a bed.

Qingyu wanted to enter as well, but he was ultimately stopped.

The hospital was built according to the blueprints planned by Su Zhiruan. It was inevitable to come here for treatments, but this delivery room was the first time Su Zhiruan entered as an expectant mother.

Qingyu and the elderly Wen family members anxiously paced back and forth at the door.

During this time, Grandpa Wen and Grandma Wen had been hoping that Qingyu would remember something, but unfortunately, he remembered nothing. Furthermore, as Su Zhiruan’s pregnancy progressed, the elderly couple gradually came to terms with it and focused on taking care of Su Zhiruan.

Time passed by the second, and the three people waiting outside the delivery room grew increasingly anxious.

Especially Qingyu — he was so anxious he wanted to rush in right then. His face was filled with impatience, and he looked completely panicked.

“Everything will go smoothly; everything will go smoothly,” Grandma Wen prayed with her eyes closed and hands clasped together as she sat on the bench.

Grandpa Wen appeared to be looking at the scenery outside the window, but a closer observation would reveal that his gaze was unfocused, and his hand holding the cane was trembling.

When the clock struck midnight, they suddenly heard the cries of a baby coming from the delivery room.

The three waiting outside immediately stood up and quickly surrounded the area.

At that moment, a nurse also opened the door.

Qingyu asked anxiously, “How is it? How is she?”

“Don’t worry, Miss Su is all fine, just a bit weak after giving birth,” the nurse reassured them as she saw their eagerness and signaled another nurse to bring the baby out. “It’s a boy, seven pounds and two ounces, very healthy.”

After the child was born, the doctors and nurses were inside examining him, wiping him down, recording his body data, and letting him cry to expand his lungs. After everything was ready, they brought him out.

Upon hearing this, Qingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the wrinkly baby who was asked to lie on his side by the nurse.

The newborn looked like a little monkey, so tiny that it seemed scary to hold him. His fingers were curled into little fists, his face chubby, his tiny lips looked a bit shiny, and his eyes were tightly closed.

Since there were still some follow-up tasks to be done inside, the nurse, after explaining about the child, let another nurse take the child with Grandpa Wen and Grandma Wen to attend to other tasks, leaving Qingyu still waiting outside the delivery room.

Now in this hospital, Su Zhiruan was the only one giving birth, so there was no need to worry about mix-ups or other complicated registrations; after all, everyone was here for Su Zhiruan’s childbirth today, serving her and the baby only.

The nurse took the baby and the elderly Wen couple to another room.

Su Zhiruan was still awake. Although this childbirth went smoothly and the baby was healthy, it took a bit longer overall. Fortunately, everything went smoothly in the end. She broke out in some sweat, and after the nurses bundled her up, she was wheeled out of the delivery room.

With the “System Newbie Gift Package”, she didn’t suffer much. The natural birth went very well, and she even felt a lot lighter after the delivery.

Qingyu, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately approached Su Zhiruan as he saw her coming out, asking anxiously, “Ruanruan, how are you? Does it hurt, are you tired?”

“I am okay. What about the baby?” Su Zhiruan, seeing his anxious face and noticing that Grandpa Wen and Grandma Wen were not by his side, guessed that they must have gone with the baby, and thus she also felt relieved, “Did they go with Grandpa Wen and Grandma Wen?”

“Yes, they should be coming back together in a while; I’ll accompany you back to the ward first,” Qingyu stayed by her side as the nurse wheeled the bed back to the ward.

In the ward now, there was a huge bouquet of flowers at the head of the bed, bright and splendid, decorating the room.

There was also a prepared lunch box and a thermos next to it, and on the other side, there was a tightly wrapped gift box.

Su Zhiruan was the first to notice the bouquet of flowers.

It had been a long time since she had seen such flowers. Since the disaster struck, plants like flowers could not adapt to extreme weather, and even with careful care, they were hard to grow. But now, Qingyu had found such a big bouquet of flowers!

“So beautiful!” She picked up a flower, the light fragrance and faint fresh plant scent reached her nose, “Where did you get them from?”

Pleased that she liked them, Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, “I grew them. If you like them, there are many more.”

“Mr. Wen, could you step out for a moment?” The nurse, admiring their affection, looked at them.

But as much as she admired them, since Su Zhiruan had just given birth, the nurse still needed to explain the subsequent care and attention clearly. She handed Qingyu a list and briefly went through a few instructions.
