Gu Ningxuan was about to go to Su Jiang’s hospital room to tell her about the two little ones’ situation. As he passed through the corridor, he brushed shoulders with a man whose hair looked as ssy as seaweed. "Sorry!" he apologized quickly.
The man looked at him strangely, snorting from his nose, "No worries, just keep your eyes open while walking next ti."
The woman beside the man, wearing a purple trench coat, tightened her hood. Her voice was sweet and alluring but spoke with a manly tone, "If your shoulder’s not broken, hurry up. I don’t have all day to waste ti here with you."
The man rubbed his nose, awkwardly saying, "I’m here with you to find soone today. Could you not be so rude?"
The woman in the purple trench coat shrugged disdainfully, "Sure, maybe in your next life."
Gu Ningxuan watched the odd couple leave with so confusion, seeing them walk to the corner and disappear, he shook off the strange feeling. These two didn’t leave any impression on him. However, that doesn’t an they didn’t rember him...
"Hey, Gu Ningzhi, that handso young guy just now looked quite like you. Could he be the result of your fooling around sowhere?" Luo Xin joked with a smile. "But that kid looks proper; nothing like you. You’re just a ruffian. Looks like his mother’s genes are strong. But... that kid is quite strong. If I faced him, I might not win."
Gu Ningzhi snorted, "Don’t talk nonsense. How could I have such an old kid? Though you’re right about one thing, I do have so blood relation with him. But he’s just a fresh graduate from the academy, strong doesn’t an he can survive against you... I don’t believe your sinister tricks can’t beat this rookie..."
Luo Xin made an "oh" sound and said, "So there is really a relation, I was wondering why you looked so similar... But he doesn’t look like soone who’s sick. Why is he in the hospital? You said you’re related to him, don’t you want to check on him?"
Gu Ningzhi shook his head, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. Looking towards the direction Gu Ningxuan ca from, there was only a nursery...
What is he doing in the nursery? For this third brother, whom he has never t and grew up in a greenhouse, Gu Ningzhi doesn’t have much feeling. Firstly, there’s a big age gap, and secondly, they’ve never interacted; there’s no deep bond.
He didn’t think much of it for now, accompanying Luo Xin to visit her old acquaintance. Bored, Gu Ningzhi went out again and spotted his third brother. Acting casual, he followed to see what his brother ca to do in the hospital.
His destination... was indeed the nursery. Gu Ningzhi irritably and headache-inducingly took out a cigarette, about to light it when he was rudely fined a thousand Credit Points by a patrolling robot. He forgot that smoking is prohibited in places like hospitals, especially outside the nursery.
Standing outside the window peering in, Gu Ningzhi watched for quite a while without figuring out which child his brother was looking at.
Though his actions drew Gu Ningxuan’s suspicion, his brother was a good-hearted child who wouldn’t easily think ill of others, "Are you... the gentleman from earlier? Here to see your child?"
Gu Ningxuan rembered; there was a woman with him earlier, perhaps that was his wife? Gu Ningzhi frowned secretly but nodded cooperatively, "Yes, but all these kids look alike, can’t tell who is who..."
Inside the nursery, two robots carefully bundled up two babies and then carefully brought them out. In a startled expression from Gu Ningzhi, Gu Ningxuan took one of the babies into his arms, his movents seeming quite practiced? What’s going on?
Gu Ningxuan held the soft child that felt like it had no bones, his wooden face finally showed a bit of relaxation, easing up a bit. The robot nurse sternly warned him to be careful with the baby’s neck when holding them...
"These two children... are really cute." Gu Ningzhi twitched his mouth, a very ominous thought crossing his mind, "So small, do they have nas? Are they... boys or girls?"
The Gu Family is famously unfortunate with daughters, seemingly not having a daughter for seven or eight generations.
"Yes, they’re indeed cute," Gu Ningxuan said, without catching the aning behind the other’s words, "They’re both boys, one nad Huaixi, and the other Huaifeng."
Huaifeng... This little guy actually fathered twin boys before his two older brothers? What frustrated Gu Ningzhi was that his brother wasn’t as conventional as the rumors suggested, naming the children "Xi" and "Feng".
If Old Man Gu knew about this, he would probably be infuriated enough to spit blood!
Watching his brother leave, Gu Ningzhi scratched his head, his seaweed-like hair ssily unruly. He still couldn’t accept it, why on earth did his brother, who is a good thirty years younger than him, get to settle down and beco a father first? It’s completely unscientific!
But thinking about their eldest brother, Gu Ningzhi felt relieved. Only with comparison can there be differences. It seems like the age gap between the eldest and the younger brother is even bigger; the eldest is still single now, isn’t he? Gu didn’t even express grief, why should he be frustrated here!
Su Jiang held her little baby in her arms, feeling uncomfortable due to the inability to breastfeed, deeply frustrated inside, and could only enjoy holding Beibi instead. Although the dicine wasn’t harmful to her body, for safety reasons, it was best not to breastfeed for the first three days.
Raising a hand to poke his little face, the tender touch eased much of her inner frustration.
Standing outside the hospital room for a while, Gu Ningzhi’s expression gradually beca dangerous. (To be continued.
