Six months later.
The hospital, outside the delivery room.
"Tsk tsk..." Gu Mengmeng suddenly trembled and tightly grabbed Gu Jiujiu.
Gu Jiujiu frowned slightly and said to Mengmeng, "Can you be a bit gentler, youâre squeezing my hand!"
"Isnât it because it sounds like Qianxun is in a lot of pain inside...? Giving birth is just too scary!"
Outside, besides Gu Liancheng and Second Treasure, Mum and Ye Fei were also there, everyoneâs face showing signs of tension.
Qianxun had been in the delivery room for several hours already, repeatedly heard shouting and yelling from inside.
Gu Lianchengâs face looked even worse, so tense that cold sweat was dripping down.
Is she giving birth or not? Why is it taking so long?
Itâs driving people crazy!
The pain is one thing, but why is it lasting so long?
Mum, having been through it herself, saw her son looking so anxious, pacing back and forth outside, and hurriedly comforted him: "Son, you might as well sit down and wait patiently, being anxious isnât going to help, this is just how it is when women give birth, itâs the same for everyone."
"I just canât sit still!"
"Hey..." Gu Mengmeng continued to grab Gu Jiujiuâs arm, asking, "Grandma, does giving birth hurt this much for all women?"
"Yes," Mum touched the childâs face, "itâs something every woman has to go through, itâs a happy pain. Giving birth is painful, but once you see the baby born, itâs all worth it."
"Oh..." Gu Mengmeng shook her head like a rattle, as if facing a major enemy, "Iâm not afraid of pain... but... this is too painful! Qianxun is screaming like a pig being slaughtered!"
"...This child, what kind of analogy is that." Mum was also helpless, but didnât pay much mind to the childâs innocent words.
And Gu Liancheng, had no mind to bother with what they were chatting about, all his attention was focused on the delivery room.
Gu Jiujiu quipped, "You say that like youâve seen a pig being slaughtered before."
"Even if I havenât seen it, Iâve seen it on TV, thatâs how pigs scream when being slaughtered, itâs terrifying!"
Not just Mengmeng, even Ye Fei found it a bit shocking.
The pain of giving birth... is really something beyond ordinary tolerance.
"I donât want to have kids in the future!" Gu Mengmeng said.
"Silly child, youâll think differently when you grow up."
"No!" Gu Mengmeng crossed her arms, resolutely saying, "Definitely! Wonât! Childhood traumatic memory!"
Mum smiled helplessly, "Thatâs why I told you both not to come, but you insisted on coming."
"I just wanted to see how Qianxun gave birth to us back then... didnât realize it was so painful..." Gu Mengmeng grabbed Gu Jiujiuâs hand and said, "Jiujiu, letâs not bully Qianxun in the future, itâs quite pitiful..."
"Yeah..." Gu Jiujiu also furrowed his brows, deep in thought, "I agree."
"..."
Ye Fei was speechless, these two little rascals, it seems theyâve only now come to their senses!
A nurse came out from inside, quickly grabbed by Gu Liancheng. "Howâs my wife?"
The nurse, caught by Gu Liancheng, instantly swooned, forgetting what question heâd asked.
Gu Liancheng anxiously grabbed her to ask, "I asked, how is my wife?"
"Oh oh!" The nurse snapped back to reality and replied, "Mr. Gu, donât worry, Mrs. Gu has only dilated three centimeters, at this pace, itâll probably take quite a while."
"You mean, sheâs only dilated three centimeters now?!" Gu Liancheng looked disbelieving, "Only three centimeters dilated and sheâs screaming like this!"
