"Hold the baby."
Gu Chun looked at the red-faced little baby. Even though the child was wrinkled like a little monkey, Gu Chun’s heart was still full of excitement.
This is his son, the son Tongtong had for him.
Gu Chun cautiously took the baby under Tang Yue’s guidance, holding the child steadily.
"Our son, Tongtong and my son."
Gu Chun was so thrilled that he didn’t know what to say.
Tang Yue cleared her throat nearby and said, "Uncle, you wait here first. I’ll go share the good news."
"Alright." Gu Chun was so occupied with his child that he stood at the delivery room door, waiting for Lian Tong to come out, completely forgetting about spreading the news.
Old Sir Lian, who was sitting on a bench in the corridor, couldn’t help but smile tenderly when he heard it was a boy. Regardless of whether it’s a boy or girl, they’re still Tongtong’s child.
"Gu Chun, bring him over for me to see." Old Sir Lian wanted to stand up to look, but having sat there for too long, his feet felt numb.
"Dad, look, the baby really resembles Tongtong; he’s so handsome." Gu Chun praised.
Old Sir Lian glanced at the baby. Whether the baby resembled Tongtong or was good-looking was hard to discern; really, he was just wrinkled and red.
"He looks good." Old Sir Lian complimented. Being Tongtong’s child, he would look good no matter what.
Tang Yue called home and then called Lian Qingyang. While pondering whether to also call Lian He, Lian He arrived.
"Xiao Yue, how’s it going, has your aunt given birth?" Lian He just got the news and rushed over.
"She has, she gave birth to a son." Tang Yue nodded with a smile and said, "She’s still outside the delivery room now."
"Xiao Yue, hold the baby." Seeing Tang Yue had arrived, Gu Chun handed the baby to Tang Yue, while his attention was fully on the just-wheeled-out Lian Tong.
"Tongtong." Gu Chun saw that Lian Tong’s hair beside her forehead was damp, and her lips were bitten, and he felt a wave of heartache. The joy of just having a son was instantly cast aside. Holding Lian Tong’s hand, he followed along with the cart to the ward.
Tang Yue: "..."
Mo Xiaolin had prepared carp fish soup and, together with Wu Xin, brought their two children to deliver it.
Besides the fish tofu soup, they also brought a gift for the baby; after all, Mo Xiaolin was Xiao Yue’s aunt.
The simmered carp fish tofu soup was fragrant, mild, and not greasy.
Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian had coincidentally returned from their shop and joined in on the hospital visit.
Lian Tong insisted on taking a look at the baby before falling asleep. When Mo Xiaolin and the others arrived, Lian Tong was already sleeping.
Old Sir Lian, being of age, couldn’t stay long in the hospital. Seeing both the baby and Lian Tong were safe, he instructed Gu Chun to care well for Lian Tong and went home.
Mo Xiaolin, Zhang Hualian, and Wu Xin, with Zaozao and Chenchen, couldn’t stay long either.
Tang Yue didn’t leave. Although Gu Chun had hired a confinement nanny, and with Nanny Wu helping, Gu Chun, being a man, wasn’t as meticulous as a woman.
Lian Qingyang also stayed. Looking at the newborn baby, he said, "Sis, why does the baby look like a little monkey?"
"Oh dear."
Lian Qingyang rubbed his head, glanced at Tang Yue with grievance.
Tang Yue gave him a sideways glance and said, "Newborns all look like this. Zaozao and Chenchen also looked like this when they were born. Later, when you have children, they’ll look the same at birth. After a few days when the baby grows, they’ll look nice."
