The topic of two women’s conversation was always the same: Our baby must also have what others have. As to what we possess, our baby must have the best one.

Gu Yu Cheng was already used to this.

However, at this time, Gu Yu Cheng suddenly felt a little irritable when he listened to these two women chattering next to him.

Before Gu Yu Cheng could slowly get used to this chatter, two more people arrived at the hospital.

Tang Xiao left Zhou Zi Yuan behind and ran over to ask, “Gu Yu Cheng, how is Rui Rui doing? Has she given birth yet?”

Meanwhile, Zhou Zi Yuan also walked over after greeting Mother Su and Mrs Gu. He pressed on Tang Xiao’s head and turned it towards the direction of the delivery’s room light.

Zhou Zi Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, “Can’t you see for yourself if she has given birth?”

“I can! But can’t I ask and express my concern and anticipation as the future godmother?” Tang Xiao refuted in distaste.

She looked towards Gu Yu Cheng again and asked, “How long has Su Xiao Rui been in there?”

“36 minutes,” Gu Yu Cheng replied.

“Then…”

After being friends with him for so many years, Zhou Zi Yuan could see Gu Yu Cheng’s impatience at first glance. He interrupted Tang Xiao, who was about to continue asking something, “Then what? Don’t you know that you have to keep it down in the hospital?”

Zhou Zi Yuan patted Gu Yu Cheng’s shoulder and sat down next to him.

“Let’s go? Go out for a smoke?” Zhou Zi Yuan said as he tilted his head, looked at Gu Yu Cheng and raised his eyebrows.

Gu Yu Cheng’s gaze deepened. “No need.”

“Zhou Zi Yuan, you…”

Looking at Tang Xiao whose glare was about to make a hole in his body, Zhou Zi Yuan laughed and said, “Haha. That’s fine. I’ll go and have one.”

He stood up and brought Tang Xiao with him to the corridor.

“Zhou Zi Yuan! Did an iron hit your brain? Gu Yu Cheng doesn’t smoke. So why did you ask him to smoke? And Su Xiao Rui is still in there giving birth!” Tang Xiao glared at Zhou Zi Yuan with some dissatisfaction.

When Zhou Zi Yuan heard this, he smiled, “(Snort) You don’t understand. When a man is irritable and tense, sometimes a cigarette can have a miraculous effect.”

“What do you mean?” Tang Xiao asked with a doubtful expression.

Zhou Zi Yuan said leisurely, “Drag him out to relieve the stress.”

“You are talking about Gu Yu Cheng?” Tang Xiao frowned. “I think he looks pretty composed to me?”

“(Snort) Then you only saw the surface.” As Zhou Zi Yuan said that, he lowered his head, moved closer to Tang Xiao and added, “Do you know what Lao Gu was scrolling on his phone when we came over?”

“What? You saw it?”

“I caught a glimpse of it. ‘Is it normal for a pregnant woman to be in labour for 40 minutes?”

“You mean Gu Yu Cheng?” Tang Xiao’s eyes widened.

How could it be abnormal when she was only inside for 49 minutes?

If one was to put it that way, Gu Yu Cheng might have done more than searched up on this before they arrived.

Regarding this point, the two guessed correctly.

From the moment Su Rui was taken into the delivery room, and while Gu Yu Cheng did not know what to do outside, he began to take out his phone and search the internet on these questions:

How long does natural childbirth take?

Are there risks involved in natural childbirth?

The pregnant woman has entered the delivery room for 20 minutes…

The pregnant woman has been in labour for 30 minutes…

My wife entered the delivery room…

“But Gu Yu Cheng appears to be not that serious,” Tang Xiao muttered.

Zhou Zi Yuan said, “You don’t have much interaction with him. So, of course, you won’t know.” He continued, “You do not know that he didn’t look this tense when he was dealing with those old shareholders in Gu Company.”

“Then let’s hurry in and keep him company.”

“Don’t go. Isn’t that classmate of yours coming over too? Go and fetch her. I will just go over.” There was one thing Zhou Zi Yuan didn’t say that was he was afraid that Gu Yu Cheng would find Tang Xiao annoying while she was yammers inside.

When Zhou Zi Yuan returned to outside the delivery room, the topic of conversation between Mother Su and Mother Gu had already jumped from buying to the issues of ‘chicken soup must always be warm’ and ‘how many times must the baby’s and the baby’s mother’s clothes be disinfected with hot water?’.

Looking at Gu Yu Cheng’s frown on his face by the side, Zhou Zi Yuan couldn’t help but snicker in his heart with glee.

Lao Gu, Lao Gu, I never thought you would have such a day.

However, Zhou Zi Yuan couldn’t help but be a little jealous of Gu Yu Cheng again.

After all, they were both between twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old. At their age, people like them are looking forward to a family and children.

Zhou Zi Yuan walked over and sat down next to Gu Yu Cheng.

Zhou Zi Yuan and Gu Yu Cheng were chatting with each other casually.

Originally, he wanted to distract him. But to his surprise, Zhou Zi Yuan became nervous as well as they chatted.

The two men stared blankly at the door of the delivery room.

Gu Yu Cheng was thinking about asking about Su Rui’s situation inside.

On the other hand, Zhou Zi Yuan was imagining how it would be like waiting outside the delivery room when he is about to be a father.

Finally, after another half an hour, the light at the delivery room door changed.

Looking at the delivery room’s door opening, Gu Yu Cheng was the first to stand up and walk over.

Seeing Gu Yu Cheng approaching her, the nurse asked, “Excuse me, are you the family member of the mother?”

“Yes.”

Although she recognized Gu Yu Cheng, the nurse still maintained her professionalism and asked again, “May I ask the name of the mother?”

“Su Rui.”

The nurse said with a smile to Gu Yu Cheng as well as Mother Su and the others next to them, “Congratulations. It’s a boy. He weighs 3216 grams.”

“How is my wife doing?” Gu Yu Cheng asked.

“The mother is in good condition. She still needs to be observed in the delivery room for a while. And after confirming that there are no problems later, she can be transferred to the ward.”

Hearing the nurse’s words, Gu Yu Cheng’s tense heart eased. However, without seeing Su Rui, he was still a little worried.

“So, who is going to hold the baby first?” The nurse asked.

In many families, they pay particular attention to who was the first to hold the baby.

Hearing the nurse ask this, Yu Jing and Liu Yue both looked at each other.

“Let the baby’s father carry first.”

“I’ll do it,” Gu Yu Cheng said and carefully took the baby from the nurse’s hands.

Gu Yu Cheng practised how to hold the baby many times before at the maternity centre, so it was very accurate.

However, once the tiny and soft baby fell in his arms, Gu Yu Cheng’s movements froze for a moment.

His heart also seemed to stop beating for a moment.

At this time, Mother Su and Mother Gu also came over with eyes full of anticipation.

“Oh my, this eldest grandson of mine is really good-looking.”

“Yes, look at how full his forehead is and how good his hair is.”

“His eyebrows look like Rui Rui’s, just like when she was born!”

“And his nose looks like Rui Rui’s too.”

“He looks like Yu Cheng too. He’ll definitely have a tall nose when he grows up.”

“He still looks more like Yu Cheng overall.”

“Yeah.”

……

How does the baby look like me?

Gu Yu Cheng could not tell from this ‘red-skinned monkey.’

However, this kind of blood connection was indeed marvellous.

The corner of Gu Yu Cheng’s mouth quirked as he looked down and saw the child lying in his arms.

It was the joy of being a first-time father. Currently, his heart was filled to the brim.

His mind was already racing with thoughts of when he would learn to talk and walk…

In the future, he would teach him many things. Make him more capable, take him to try something to make him braver…
