Chapter 166: Auspicious Auspiciousness of the Unicorn and Phoenix
I picked up a piece, dipped it in osmanthus honey and put it in my mouth. The delicious taste spread instantly on the tip of my tongue. I gave it a thumbs up and praised it: "It's delicious. You are a talented chef."
My mother has also put down what she is doing recently and stays by my side all the time.
My birth is a big event for our family right now. She kept muttering, feeling even more nervous than I was: "Luo Shu, you're going to be a mother soon, you must stay healthy."
She also sewed small quilts for my babies with her own hands, and every stitch and thread reflected her endless love for the babies.
She often sat by the window, the sunlight outlining her figure, and said with longing in her eyes, "After the babies are born, our house will be even more lively. I want to play with them every day."
In order to ensure a safe delivery, Huang Junze took me to the hospital for frequent prenatal checkups.
In the fetal heart monitoring room, I lay on a comfortable recliner, and Huang Junze sat next to me, his eyes fixed on the numbers and curves jumping on the instrument screen.
His face sometimes showed a look of nervousness, and sometimes he felt relieved because of the stable fetal heart rate.
He held my hand tightly, as if he was guarding the babies' heartbeats with me.
After the examination, he anxiously asked the doctor, "Doctor, how are the babies? Is everything normal?"
The doctor smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, the babies are healthy and the fetal heart rate is normal."
Huang Junze then smiled with relief.
The nannies in the house also performed their duties, cleaning every corner of the house spotlessly and carrying out comprehensive disinfection.
They wiped the furniture and cleaned the floor, leaving no unattended corner.
The baby's room is given special care, and every toy is carefully cleaned and disinfected.
Behind this seemingly calm wait, my heart is actually a turbulent ocean.
There is fear and worry about the upcoming birth, as well as immense anticipation for meeting the babies for the first time.
Whenever this complex emotion was aroused, Huang Junze could always perceive it keenly.
He would gently hold me in his arms, rest his chin on the top of my head, and say softly, "Don't be afraid, honey. You are the bravest woman I have ever met. I will always be by your side, accompanying you through every difficulty. It will definitely be smooth sailing."
His arms are like the strongest safe haven. I snuggle in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and my heart becomes more and more determined about the future.
As the morning light breaks, a ray of gentle sunlight shines into the quiet room.
I was sound asleep when suddenly I felt a slight abdominal pain as if an invisible hand was stirring gently in my abdomen. At first it was just an occasional pulling, but then it gradually intensified, as if my intestines were twisted into a pretzel. Every contraction brought excruciating pain that made it almost impossible for me to breathe.
I woke up suddenly, my heart trembled, and my strong intuition told me that the babies might be impatient to come into this world early.
Although we had prepared everything in advance, the children seemed anxious and wanted to come out early. This morning's incident still caught us off guard, and we had to rush to the hospital in a panic.
"Junze, Junze..." I endured the severe pain and gently pushed Huang Junze beside me.
Hearing my voice, he instantly snapped out of his slumber, his eyes filled with panic, yet he tried to remain calm in front of me. His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed back the nervousness in his throat. "Honey, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you about to give birth?" he asked anxiously, quickly reaching out and carefully helping me sit up.
I nodded painfully, and he immediately picked up his phone, quickly dialed the hospital's number, and said in a steady and decisive voice, "Director Ge, my wife is about to give birth. We will be there soon. Please prepare as soon as possible."
My mother and the confinement nannies also rushed over quickly after hearing the noise.
The confinement nannies were like well-trained agents, carefully helping me dress myself. Their eyes were like sophisticated scanners, carefully checking whether all the necessary items were available.
The driver drove steadily and quickly to the hospital. Huang Junze stayed by my side, holding my hand the whole time.
When we arrived at the hospital, the doctors and nurses had been waiting at the door for a long time like warriors ready for battle.
They quickly placed me on the stretcher and pushed me to the delivery room at lightning speed.
Huang Junze followed closely by my side, his hand tightly gripping mine like a pair of pliers. The warmth from his palm mixed with the sweat conveyed his inner tension and anxiety.
At this moment in the delivery room, the bright lights were like the scorching sun, hanging high above the head, and the cold instruments were like silent beasts, surrounding it.
Apart from the beeping of the instruments and the calm instructions of the doctors and nurses,
After a moment, the doctor raised his head and calmly informed me, "The cervix is already three fingers dilated.
I can still hear my own pounding heartbeat echoing in my ears. That sound is like the battle drum for me and the babies, playing the melody of life in this small delivery room.
"Don't be afraid, honey. You are the bravest woman in the world. I will stay by your side and will never leave you. We will be able to meet our babies soon."
His voice trembled slightly, and I knew that at this moment, he was actually more frightened and worried than I was. The panic and forced calmness in his eyes were deeply imprinted in my heart.
I followed the doctor's instructions and tried to regulate my breathing. The sound of my breathing was like heavy drumbeats, echoing in the delivery room.
Every time a contraction came, the pain was like a sharp arrow, piercing deep into my body. Sweat kept pouring out, instantly soaking my forehead and clothes.
I bit my lips tightly until they turned white and bled, trying hard not to moan in pain, but the pain was still unbearable.
"Luo Shu, hold my hand," Huang Junze looked at me with pity.
"Ah, ah...Huang Junze, you are such a bad guy!" I couldn't help but shout.
Director Ge and two assistants stood by like a passionate cheerleading team, constantly cheering me on: "Keep going, keep going, you're doing great! The babies will be meeting you soon."
Their firm and powerful voices, like magical spells, gave me great courage and confidence, allowing me to struggle hard in this pain and full of hope.
In this seemingly endless production process, time flows slowly, and every second seems like a long century.
Finally, a clear, loud cry that pierced the sky broke the suffocating and tense atmosphere in the delivery room.
"It's a boy!" the doctor shouted excitedly, and then quickly reported the data, "3500 grams, 55 centimeters long." A burst of ecstasy surged in my heart. Although my stomach hurt, it was as if I saw the first ray of light in the darkness.
Then, another soft, melodious cry echoed, clear and melodious. "A girl was born safely! 3200 grams, 53 centimeters long," the doctor's voice echoed again.
My eyes were instantly filled with tears, and the tears flowed freely like a flood that broke through a dam. My heart was filled with emotion and joy, like blooming flowers, so gorgeous.
"Congratulations, you have twins, a boy and a girl! The babies are all very healthy!" said the doctor with a smile on his face.
I tiredly pulled the corners of my mouth and revealed a relieved smile. At this moment, the heavy stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.
At this moment, all the pain and hardship seemed to be cast under a spell, turning into a source of happiness, flowing out.
Although I am very tired, I still can't bear to close my eyes and let myself have a good rest.
Huang Junze witnessed the entire birth process with his own eyes. When he heard the babies crying, his face was stunned at first, and his expression was like a solidified sculpture. Then, an ecstatic look bloomed on his face like fireworks.
At that moment, Huang Junze felt mixed emotions. Joy flooded him like a surging tide. Countless images of his future with the children flashed through his mind. He felt sorry for the pain I had experienced. He was filled with welcome for the new life, as well as gratitude and love for me.
The mothers and confinement nannies also felt relieved, with happy and satisfied smiles on their faces.
After a while, the nurse came slowly over with the babies in her arms.
Huang Junze took a step forward, and just as he was about to touch the babies, he suddenly stopped. With his hands trembling slightly, he carefully took the babies. His movements were so gentle as if he was touching the most precious and fragile treasures in the world.
His eyes were full of love and tenderness, like the shimmering water of a lake under the warm spring sun.
My brother's hair is black and thick, like black satin, lying softly on his scalp. His little face is round with a healthy blush. Under his closed eyes, his eyelashes are like fine little fans, trembling slightly. His small mouth smacks from time to time, as if he is savoring the warmth in his mother's womb.
The younger sister is even more petite, with skin as white as snow with a hint of pink. Her black hair is slightly curly, like a fashionable hairstyle that has been carefully permed and dyed. Her delicate facial features are as cute as a porcelain doll, especially her pink little lips, like a delicate cherry, which makes people want to kiss her.
He and the nurse carefully brought the child to me.
When I saw these two pink and chubby little guys, I didn't feel the expected surprise in my heart. Instead, I blurted out: "Why do they look like this? They are really ugly."
"Very beautiful!" Huang Junze and the nurse responded in unison as if they had made an appointment.
I frowned and pointed at the child's wrinkled skin and said, "Look at this skin, it's like that of an old man or an old woman. It doesn't look good at all."
Huang Junze smiled softly and leaned close to my ear and said, "Wife, this is how they look like when they first come into this world. They will soon become plump and white and adorable."
The nurse also agreed: "Yes, mother, most newborns are like this. It won't be long before they are as cute as little angels."
Even though I knew what newborn babies looked like, I still shook my head helplessly: "It's hard to imagine how beautiful they will become in the future. Right now they just look like two little monsters."
Huang Junze gently held my hand and said, "Believe me, our baby will definitely become more beautiful. You will love him so much that you won't be able to let him go."
When he handed the child to the nurse, his eyes were fixed on me like a magnet.
He slowly leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on my forehead, filled with deep affection and gratitude. "Honey, you've worked so hard. You're the hero of my life. Thank you for giving me such a precious gift." His eyes glistened with tears, and his voice choked with sobs.
I looked at him and the babies, and my heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction, like a cup of water that is about to overflow.
