Chapter 92

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

There were children with various conditions in the children’s ward; their lives had just begun, but they would die young.

The night before the operation, Chu Xun couldn’t sleep. He thought of all kinds of hospital cases that he had heard about. This year, a child with a congenital heart disease couldn’t be treated and had died in the hospital. He was too afraid to sleep the entire night. X8K7gJ

Lin Yanchen stayed up with him. “Didn’t the doctor say that we took good care of the child? Jiu Jiu is a lot healthier now. He can endure the operation.”

Chu Xun was too overwhelmed by his fears. “I know, but I’m still afraid.”

He could have just worried over it on his own, but he even scolded Lin Yanchen. “You didn’t give birth to him, you also weren’t with me when he was born. I raised Jiu Jiu myself until he was this big; of course you don’t care.”

Lin Yanchen was scolded over nothing, but he wasn’t angry with Chu Xun. Chu Xun was worried because Jiu Jiu was ill, and just wasn’t expressing it with the right words. Not only wasn’t Lin Yanchen angry, he also kissed his Ah Xun. “How can I not care? Hey, don’t accuse me wrongly. Before, you wrongly assumed that I didn’t love you. Now, you wrongly think I’m not concerned about our baby. I want to make this clear: I know you’re feeling very upset right now. You can scold me if you like. Feel free to scold me more if it’ll help you calm down. Don’t bottle up all your emotions in your stomach.” f3sqWZ

Speaking of his stomach, Chu Xun was upset again. “When I gave birth to Jiu Jiu, they made a big cut in my stomach; it was very painful.”

Lin Yanchen gently touched his scar. In fact, Chu Xun’s post-operative care was good. The scar wasn’t obvious, and the color was relatively light. However, such a big opening had been made, after all; no matter how good Chu Xun’s recovery was, there would still be a trace left.

Just feeling the uneven surface with his fingers, Lin Yanchen couldn’t help imagining how much pain Chu Xun must have been in at that time. He was truly to blame for all that pain.

According to surveys, having a baby was the highest level of pain. QnPZCr

But Chu Xun’s physique was different from that of ordinary people. He wasn’t a woman. Teacher Chu had told Lin Yanchen that Chu Xun had suffered a lot during his pregnancy, enduring it for seven months.

Lin Yanchen felt distressed. “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.”

Chu Xun also just wanted these few words of comfort; as long as Lin Yanchen expressed his sincere love for him, he was satisfied. sO0lVI

Chu Xun shed tears. “I also blame myself; I owe Jiu Jiu, I didn’t give him a healthy body.”

Lin Yanchen hugged him. “The child was born from the both of us, we both are responsible. Jiu Jiu will definitely get better.”

On the day of Jiu Jiu’s operation, his two fathers, two grandfathers and one grandmother came to the hospital to accompany him.

Chu Xun and Lin Yanchen followed Jiu Jiu into the patient waiting room before the operation, where he would get an intravenous drip first. tUhSpa

This little fool still didn’t know what was happening and smiled happily.

But when he was pushed into the operating room, and his fathers were stopped outside, Jiu Jiu seemed to have a premonition, and called, “Daddy.”

As soon as the door closed, nothing could be seen.

Chu Xun’s tears immediately burst out. rl7tk5

In the first few months after Jiu Jiu’s birth, Chu Xun often went to the emergency room and stayed in the ICU ward. Chu Xun recalled he had been very sad then, but had never cried like this. This time, the situation wasn’t as critical, but he was crying.

It was probably because at that time, no one else was there with him, and no one would be there if he cried. Now, with Lin Yanchen by his side, he could be as weak as he wished.

Home was a place which harbored love and hope, as well as weakness and pain. Both were indispensable.

Chu Xun wiped his face and looked up. When he saw Lin Yanchen’s eyes also brimming with tears, he laughed. “Why did you cry too?” KJDG84

Choked with emotion, Lin Yanchen said, “I’m afraid, too.”

Chu Xun scolded, “Bah, don’t say such depressing words. The operation will be successful.”

Nothing went wrong with the operation, and it was completed safely and smoothly.

The effects of the anesthesia hadn’t faded, and Jiu Jiu was asleep as he was sent to the ward. wiVC7m

He was still a baby and was first isolated in the ICU ward for observation.

Chu Xun couldn’t go in, and looked at his child through the glass. Jiu Jiu must be in a lot of pain; he cried every now and then as he lay on the bed, crying and crying before he slept, then sleeping for a bit before he woke up crying. The first two days after surgery were the most difficult. Chu Xun couldn’t imagine just how much pain he was in; he was a baby who wasn’t sensitive to pain and who never liked to cry.

Because of this, he cried with Jiu Jiu, and Lin Yanchen cried with him.

Chu Xun’s father laughed at him. zSAGB3

Teacher Chu said, “You’re a father now, but you still cry; you’re not acting like a man.”

Chu Xun said with conviction, “Why can’t men cry? I think all men who love their families and children are manly men. They shed tears because they love them; how can a cold-hearted, unfeeling man be a good man?”

Old President Lin handed them handkerchiefs. “A man has tears, but doesn’t shed them easily. It’s not shameful to shed tears for the sake of family and children.”

After getting better and better, Jiu Jiu was transferred to the PICU ward. Once his condition was stable, he was admitted to a single room in the general ward. MPx5dI

A scar was left on Jiu Jiu’s chest.

On a baby’s body, even if it was only a small surgical wound, the scar would grow bigger and bigger as he himself grew. Every time Chu Xun bathed him afterward, he would feel extremely heartache.

Jiu Jiu’s godfathers came to visit their godson one after another.

After enduring the first few days, Jiu Jiu didn’t cry again. dfaXFD

Every day, someone came to see him, play with him, and give him new toys.

Zhan Hongyu, wearing a hat and mask, came with Zhuo Linhui.

Except for Zhuo Linhui, these few brothers were all happy godfathers. Only Zhuo Linhui was reluctant, but for the sake of his face as one of the brothers, he had to wear the title of godfather. Otherwise, he would be the only one of the five of them to not be a godfather. How embarrassed would he be otherwise; it would be like he was being excluded from a small group.

When Jiu Jiu saw Zhan Hongyu, he smiled like a flower blooming. He was familiar with this beautiful uncle. dNsxa8

Zhan Hongyu said happily to Zhuo Linhui, “Look, Jiu Jiu is so cute.”

Zhuo Linhui tsked in his heart: tsk, what cute? Didn’t all children just look alike? This one was just a little more good-looking. He always remembered how his stepmother visited the house with a baby in her arms, evidence of his father’s unfaithfulness.

Zhan Hongyu played with Jiu Jiu, and he said to Chu Xun, “I think Jiu Jiu is pretty energetic.”

“The operation was successful, and his heart is okay now,” Chu Xun said. “The asthma just needs to be treated slowly, but it’s not a big problem.” ZPHVmn

Zhan Hongyu said, “That’s good… After listening to Old Lin, I was worried. ”

Chu Xun said, “I saw the news; you’re very busy ah.”

Zhan Hongyu said, “It’s still all right. Work ended the day before yesterday; I had a break, and came over quickly to see Jiu Jiu.”

The two of them chatted. 3XTrC1

Zhan Hongyu put Jiu Jiu down to play on his own.

Jiu Jiu played for a while, before he raised his head. Looking left and right, he saw Zhuo Linhui standing a few steps away. Jiu Jiu smiled and crawled toward him. He grabbed the railing and stood up, blinking at him with his big eyes. His eyelashes were thick and long, and his amber eyes were clear and shiny.

Zhuo Linhui’s body suddenly froze. What to do? It was like this little thing was staring him down! Damn it!
