Old Mistress Shen stood up and said amiably, "I really haven"t seen my little prince or princess and my heart is empty. I want to go upstairs and take a look."
"I"ll go with you." Yan Jun followed the madame out of the room.
The corridor was almost completely under martial law, not giving anyone a chance to visit.
Yan Jun stood in front of the elevator and asked worriedly, "Mother, if you give Little Jing such an important thing, will she feel any pressure?"
"What I can give her is naturally the best. As for pressure, when did our Shen family"s wife become so weak?" Old Mistress Shen retorted.
Yan Jun nodded. "Of course I know her ability to resist pressure. However, this child has just given birth to her baby. You should let her rest for a while more."
"If you say it like that, then I have a short temper. It doesn"t matter, because this child is no ordinary child. How can he be afraid because of such a trivial matter after enduring for so many years?" Old Mistress Shen walked into the elevator with a bright smile on her face.
Yan Jun"s brows twitched. You gave her the family heirloom, is this still a small matter?
In the ward, Xiao Jing hastily took off her jade bracelet and carefully placed it in the cabinet, not wanting to be careless for even a moment.
Qin Ran covered her mouth and smiled, "Wear it to make it look better."
Xiao Jing shook her head. "Mother, I"m a soldier, so I"m too used to rough things in the army. What if I break it with a careless action?" The city is priceless, so what grandmother said was probably worth several hundred million. "
"You only know about money, you should think about who this jade bracelet represents." Qin Ran tapped her head, "Are you tired?"
Xiao Jing stood up and was about to walk around when a figure forcefully carried her back to the bed.
Shen Chengfeng said with a serious face, "We agreed to meet in the afternoon."
Xiao Jing curled her lips. "Captain, I"m just going to walk around. You should try to trust your little soldier."
"Yes, lie down." Shen Chengfeng tucked her in, "You"re sitting in the same spot."
Xiao Jing grabbed her captain"s arm, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Captain, you"re also a soldier. Don"t tell me that you also believe these words of feudal superst.i.tion?"
"How can I not believe it?" Qin Ran put on the hat under her pillow, "This is a tradition left behind by the Old Ancestor, you have to believe it no matter what."
Xiao Jing wasn"t used to wearing these woolen hats. As soon as Qin Ran put them on, she pulled them away.
Shen Chengfeng quickly walked towards the cupboard, took out his army hat and put it on her head, "You are not allowed to take it off."
Xiao Jing fiddled with her military cap and asked, "Captain, do you believe these baseless things?"
"I only know that this is good for your health. As long as it is good for you, you should believe it." Shen Chengfeng sat on the bedside, looking as if he was prepared to monitor her movements.
Xiao Jing felt a lot of pressure. She pulled the blanket over her head, leaving behind only her two eyeb.a.l.l.s, which were flickering as she stared at her captain.
Shen Chengfeng pulled her down a little, "Don"t be so bored."
Xiao Jing whispered, "Captain, can we discuss something?"
"Go ahead."
"If you look at me like this, I will have an idea. Why don"t you lie down and hold me? This way, you can let me ignore your tender gaze and restrain my four limbs. What do you think of this suggestion?"
Shen Chengfeng raised both his hands to cover her eyes, "I think this method is better."
Xiao Jing pulled his hand away and said seriously, "I"m talking about serious matters."
"Do I look like I"m joking with you?" Shen Chengfeng continued covering her eyes.
"Captain, you can"t treat your little soldier like this. She needs your warm embrace." Xiao Qing hugged his waist. "Captain."
Xiao Jing playfully pulled on his clothes.
Shen Chengfeng did not expect this fellow to suddenly hug him, much less that she would try to take off his clothes in broad daylight.
Clearly, his little soldier had fully grown up.
Xiao Jing"s hand suddenly stopped. She originally wanted to provoke her captain, causing him to angrily slap his own mouth in embarra.s.sment. However, when she tore open his sleeve, what did she see in front of her eyes?
Shen Chengfeng did not mind at all as he b.u.t.toned up his s.h.i.+rt and carried her back to the bed, "Lie down and don"t speak too much, otherwise your throat will hurt."
Xiao Jing sat up excitedly and asked, "What"s going on?"
"What?" Shen Chengfeng asked even though he already knew the answer.
Xiao Jing stared at his hands as if they were torches. She then took off his gloves.
Visible red, as if bloodshot, red and swollen.
Shen Chengfeng didn"t think much of it and put on his gloves, "This is nothing, it will disappear tomorrow."
"Why is this happening?" Xiao Jing"s eyes turned red.
"It"s nothing. I just changed a layer of skin." Shen Chengfeng gently caressed her face, speaking casually.
Xiao Jing hastily stopped him, "Don"t touch me, it will hurt." There was nowhere to put her hand, as if every movement she made hurt him.
Shen Chengfeng didn"t seem to care at all as he pulled her into his embrace, "My wife, are you saying that my eight abdominal muscles aren"t good-looking?"
Xiao Jing stared at him with tears in her eyes, "You"re joking with me even at a time like this?"
"It"s going to recover in two days. There"s no big problem with that."
"Can I see it again?" Xiao Jing carefully rolled up his sleeves.
She couldn"t imagine how he had wasted her to such an extent. It was as if he didn"t feel any pain. Did he really feel no pain?
"Mother is still watching. Pay attention to the effect." Shen Chengfeng stopped her from taking off her clothes.
Xiao Jing frowned, "I"m only checking your injuries. I won"t let my imagination run wild on you."
"But your actions are too ambiguous." Shen Chengfeng pulled her head out, "My mother-in-law would misunderstand."
Xiao Jing looked behind her at her mother, who was in a dilemma. She covered her mouth and coughed, "Mother, do you want to go upstairs and see the children?"
Qin Ran glared at her, "Just give me enough."
"Mother, you misunderstand. I have something very important to do." Xiao Jing was very serious.
Qin Ran"s gaze fell onto her daughter"s right hand. Her hand was still tightly grasping her son-in-law"s clothes. From the looks of it, she just needed a little more effort to completely tear off her clothes.
Xiao Jing smiled. "Please go and check on the children. It"s fine as long as the captain is here."
Qin Ran lowered her voice and said, "Then I"ll be going now. You … you better take note of your body. Don"t overdo it. It"s not good for you to recuperate after the birth."
Xiao Jing nodded with certainty. "Don"t worry, I know what I"m doing."
Qin Ran didn"t know whether to laugh or cry as she left the room. The instant the door closed, her eyes landed on her daughter, who had an excited expression on her face as she prepared to strip her son-in-law. Was this really okay?
"Why did you come out?" When Xiao Yao saw the figure wandering in front of the ward, he hurriedly walked forward.
Qin Ran covered her mouth and indicated for him to be quiet. She pointed to the situation in the room, "I keep having the feeling that our daughter is a bit too acute."
Xiao Yao looked at the situation in the ward and laughed, "After all, he is young and vigorous."
"But she just had a baby, so it won"t be good for her to recover in the future."
"Even if she doesn"t know what propriety is, we still have to trust that brat Shen Chengfeng, he will know what propriety is."
Qin Ran nodded, "Master is right, Cheng Feng understands the pros and cons."
"Do you want to go up and see the babies?"
"Are you awake?"
"Big brother is awake. Little sister is still sleeping." Xiao Yao held her hand as they walked in the direction of the elevator.
The suns.h.i.+ne was still as before, the years were quiet and good. Everything was so beautiful.
Xiao Ye was a bit troubled. He felt that his position as G.o.dfather was in danger.
In a small meeting room, everyone stood with their hands behind their back. No one spoke for more than ten minutes.
"In terms of military merits, I am naturally the first choice for G.o.dfather." Shen Chenghuang was the first to speak.
"You are their uncle by blood, so you don"t need the support of their G.o.dfather." Xiao Hong said.
Shen Chengyi shook his head, "No matter what, I am their father"s savior. In consideration of the circ.u.mstances, this first G.o.dfather should be mine."
"You"re the baby"s second uncle, you don"t need to use that ident.i.ty to be a G.o.dfather." Xiao Zheng said.
"You are still their blood uncles, with that ident.i.ty, you don"t need to be their G.o.dfather." Shen Chengyi added.
"There is no point in discussing about this here. Shen Chengfeng promised that as long as we can help him complete the mission, then he will be the G.o.dfather of the child." Xiao Ming tapped the table lightly with his fingertips. His unsmiling face actually had a faint smile on it.
"Big brother, you s.n.a.t.c.hed that mission from me." Xiao Ye said in an inaudible voice.
Xiao Ming glanced at him, "The process is not important. What is important is the result. The result is that I am now the first G.o.dfather of the children."
"I won"t agree." Shen Chenghuang rejected him immediately.
"It doesn"t matter whether you agree or not, that"s the truth." Xiao Ming was in a good mood and was about to leave.
"Then why are we gathered here one by one for this meeting?" Shen Chengyi asked in confusion.
Shen Chenghuang replied, "I"m going to look for Old Third. The two children should at least have two G.o.dfathers."
Before he could finish, the conference room was empty. Xiao Ye stood alone in the middle of the empty room.
Shen Chengfeng opened the door and slowly walked out. Just as he took two steps, he felt a sense of danger approaching and instinctively became vigilant.
One figure, two figures, four or five people followed.
Shen Chenghuang went straight to the point, "Third brother, I want to be the G.o.dfather of the baby. I think my sister is very cute, so I will reluctantly be the G.o.dfather of my sister."
"You"re thinking too much. My sister is my G.o.ddaughter." Xiao Ming rejected her once again.
"Then I"ll be big brother, big brother needs me to give you a good thras.h.i.+ng in the future."
"I won"t trouble you to worry too much about this. Big brother is also my foster son."
Shen Chenghuang stared at Xiao Ming and spoke in a low voice, "We are a family after all, to be able to see each other without even looking up, are you purposely going against me?"
"The children are still young, so I can"t put too much pressure on them. I feel that just me being a G.o.dfather is enough, I will properly love them." Xiao Ming had his hands in his pockets, smiling faintly.
Shen Chengfeng"s gaze swept across the few people before finally landing on the late arriving Xiao Ye. He asked, "Did I say anything about finding G.o.dfathers for the babies?"
The smile on Xiao Ming"s face suddenly disappeared as he said, "You want to go back on your word?"
"I am only making a suggestion. As for when it will be implemented, I have not confirmed it yet."
"Are you messing with us?" Shen Chenghuang narrowed his eyes, "No matter what, I have to be your son"s father today. If I can"t become his father, then so can his G.o.dfather. If G.o.dfather can"t do it, so can his second G.o.dfather."
"I"m not messing with you guys." Shen Chengfeng"s eyes were fixed on Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye s.h.i.+vered inexplicably. He felt that the other party"s eyes were poisonous. Why was he looking at him like that?
Xiao Ming was the first to turn around, unconsciously clenching his fists and roaring, "Xiao Ye!"
Xiao Jing"s entire body trembled. Human nature was like this. In the face of danger, no matter what made the other party angry, there was only one word in his mind: Run.
He turned and ran in panic.
The group of people chased after Xiao Ye.
"Captain, what"s going on?" Xiao Jing laid in front of the main door as she watched the group of people disappear without a trace. What were they doing? They had come with great vigor, but had left in a grandiose manner?
Shen Chengfeng saw that she was disobedient and got off the bed, quickly turning back.
Xiao Jing purposely avoided his touch, "Captain, don"t hug me, I can walk by myself."
Shen Chengfeng sighed, "We agreed to stay in bed."
"I heard movement outside. It seems like they"re going to fight?"
"You won"t die." Shen Chengfeng closed the door behind him, showing no sign of guilt.
Xiao Jing sat on the edge of the bed and covered her mouth as she snickered, "But captain, did you do this on purpose to fool Xiao Ye?"
"Do I look like the kind of person who jokes about serious things?"
"Then why did Xiao Ye say you agreed to let him be your G.o.dfather?"
"That"s not important. What"s important is that Xiao Ye is a good s.h.i.+eld."
"I feel that I have let him down. After all, he is very good to me, and if he had not recommended me, I would not have met you, and even more so, I would not have been able to hold you in my arms. I feel that we should have tried to treat him better."
Shen Chengfeng sat at her side, not denying anything, "I also wanted to be nicer to him, but you know your other three brothers well, they will be jealous."
"..."
"So for his safety, we have to be a little ruthless to him. If I agree to let Xiao Ye be his G.o.dfather, he might be sent to the morgue by your big brother, second and third brother before he even walks out of the hospital."
"So all of this is for him."
"Although I feel somewhat guilty, there"s no other way." Shen Chengfeng held her shoulders and said, "Don"t show any guilt towards him, your guilt will make your three brothers unhappy. After all, they love you the same way."
Xiao Jing nodded with great effort. As expected of the captain, her a.n.a.lysis of the situation made perfect sense.
Shen Chengfeng rubbed her head, indeed, she had been pregnant for three years.
The afternoon sun shone brightly on the land. After a night of heavy snow, the entire street began to melt.
Xiao Jing sat on the wheelchair as she stared at the two little fellows in the window.
They"d probably need to live in it for at least a week because of their premature birth, and the little guy"s cheeks were red and his little palms were clenched into two small fists.
As if they had felt their mother"s peeping, the two little fellows woke up at the same time, and stared at her with rolling eyes.
The newborn children couldn"t see this far, they seemed to be trying really hard to see their mother"s eyes unblinkingly.
Xiao Jing stood up and walked into the small room. She put on her gloves and tried to rub the child"s face.
Her brother was a crybaby. Whenever she touched him, if she felt uncomfortable, she would howl and roar, and the baby would cry along with the baby.
On the contrary, her little sister was much more obedient in this aspect. She blinked, her round eyes stared at the approaching head, and then she heard her brother"s crying, and finally she started to cry as well.
Xiao Jing felt a little awkward. Should she hug him or not?
"Probably hungry." The doctor mixed the powdered milk and put it between the two little fellows" mouths.
Xiao Jing was sitting on the chair, holding her little sister and holding the bottle. She watched as she drank from it in large gulps. She was worried that she would choke on her milk, so she drank slowly from it.
"The child was born prematurely and his stomach wasn"t functioning well, so he had to eat less and not feed too fast." The nurse held her brother and demonstrated.
Xiao Jing put the child back in the thermos, lightly breathed, and started to sweat after feeding him a meal.
Shen Chengfeng stood at the door and watched her walk out. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her forehead, "The child is still young, leave it to the nurses to take care of. Don"t worry."
Xiao Jing leaned against the window as she looked at them carefully. "Captain, when can I bring them home?"
"About two weeks later, I need to reach around three kilograms before I can give it out."
"That long?"
"It"s a premature birth after all. It"s best to observe for a while longer. Is it tiring? Let"s go back to the ward." Shen Chengfeng pushed a wheelchair over.
"I want to go with you." Xiao Jing"s movements were very light and gentle, and she was trying her best to only hold onto the edge of his clothes.
Shen Chengfeng immediately held her small hands and said, "If I see you avoiding my name like that, I"m afraid I would misunderstand whether we are quarrelling or not. As the husband of my wife, when I have just given birth to my child, I will start making fun of her, and people will scold me for being sc.u.m."
"Captain!"
"So for your husband not to be scolded for no reason, it"s a burden."
With her fingers interlocked, Xiao Jing looked at the two shadows on the ground and asked, "When will second brother"s experiment be successful?"
"Just a few more days. I"ve already waited for so long, I don"t care if it"s a few more days."
"Un, as long as it succeeds, I am willing to wait for a few more days."
In the front hall outside the hospital, the sun shone brightly on the pure white snow, reflecting some of the light, which was especially dazzling.
At night, a clear and cold wind blew past, causing people to tremble slightly from the cold.
Shen Chengyi leaned against the wall, with a cigarette between his fingers, he puffed out a cloud of smoke in loneliness.
Time pa.s.sed minute by minute, and the cigarette in his hand gradually went out. Finally, he angrily threw it into the trash can, turned around and prepared to go upstairs to find this man who had summoned him without letting out a single fart.
Shen Chengfeng slowly walked over from the corridor, he did not think that he was late at all.
Shen Chengyi looked at his watch, then pa.s.sed it to the other party and said, "You specifically asked me to come over at 5 o"clock, what time are you looking for yourself?" "What time is it?!"
"Little Jing, I only came down after you fell asleep." Shen Chengfeng explained in a concise manner.
Shen Chengyi crossed his arms, his body leaning against the wall, he stared at him coldly, "Speak, why did you summon me here again? Or did you figure it out and want me to be the G.o.dfather to the babies? Even though I don"t really like children, we are family after all. I reluctantly agreed to it, hahaha. "
"Did you succeed?" Shen Chengfeng cut him off from laughing.
Shen Chengyi choked and coughed, "Do you think I"m a genius doctor? All experiments must have a time period. How long has it been since then? No matter what, we must wait until next week to have the results. "
Shen Chengfeng walked down the steps, both hands on his knees, gradually increasing his strength.
Shen Chengyi was stunned, he took a step forward and said, "Is there something wrong?"
Shen Chengfeng shook his head, "I have never felt such fear before. Second brother, I have put all my bets on you. If I lose, I would have nothing left."
Shen Chengyi"s heart suddenly trembled, he raised his hand and gently leaned on his shoulder, feeling the slight tremble under his palm, his eyebrows frowned uncontrollably, the previously almighty Shen Chengfeng, was actually afraid, his entire body was trembling!
"This is her only hope, and also my only hope. Second brother, can you tell me, do we still have any hope?"
Shen Chengyi restrained the playful and playful look on his face and said seriously, "This is the most effective method that I have found so far. If I do not have this method, then I"m afraid -"
"If not, what should I do?" Shen Chengfeng fell to the ground, at this moment, he seemed to have lost all of his strength, weakly hanging his head, like a loser who was paralyzing himself, what else could I do? What on earth could I do?
"Third Bro, and …"
"I used to have a clear conscience regarding the honor of the country, the status of a soldier, and the glory of military service. Now, I want to ask myself, why are you so determined to let her live for as long as she can"t change her fate?"
