After holding him for a while, his heartbeat sped up. Gu Shaocheng couldn’t bear it and even had a surge of strong, angry emotions.
"Co here and hold him, Wubai is crying so fiercely, it must be because I hurt him holding him. I can’t get the strength right."
It’s really rare to see Chenxing so unsettled, "It’s normal for a baby to cry, I’m busy right now, holding a child isn’t going to kill you."
She mumbled to herself as she spoke.
But then Gu Shaocheng imdiately responded with: "It’s even more terrifying than losing my life!"
At this mont, the vehicle experienced another bout of violent jostling. It had circled back from the countryside and rushed onto the highway again, with gunfire constantly bombarding both sides of the road.
The tires screeched against the pavent like arrows gone astray.
Glancing in the rearview mirror, the pursuing cars suddenly stopped gunfire. Paying closer attention, one could see that Leng Tong and his n had caught up, and the intense sound of gunfire erupted once again. Crimson Shadow managed to drive steadier, and the car kept a smooth course on the highway without further bumping.
Gu Shaocheng furrowed his brows tightly, focusing intently on Little Wubai.
He didn’t even dare to take a deep breath.
"Why aren’t his eyes open?"
"Why is his skin so wrinkly?"
"Why is he so small? Does he even weigh four pounds?"
"Is it possible for him to be nurtured to health at that size?"
"Is he supposed to be hungry now? Does he need to be fed?"
All of Gu Shaocheng’s thoughts were fixated on Little Wubai, an endless string of questions popping out. Finally, after Chenxing had managed a simple treatnt for Huanhuan, with limited conditions and doing what she could, she took the baby from Gu Shaocheng’s arms. She clearly noticed that Gu Shaocheng let out a long breath of relief, like he was granted amnesty.
"Newborns can’t open their eyes right after birth," Chenxing said while holding the baby and examining his body. His limbs were bent, fists clenched, still holding the position he had in the womb, "Since he’s crying so loudly, his body should be fine, right? Many premature babies have underdeveloped organs. We still need to go to the hospital for a doctor’s assessnt; I’m not a professional."
The seat cover wrapped around Little Wubai hadn’t been sterilized either. Newborns are very susceptible to bacteria, unfortunately. Chenxing herself was only wearing a spaghetti strap ocean dress; in the end, her gaze landed on Gu Shaocheng, saying, "Shaocheng, take off your shirt and use it to wrap the baby. I’m afraid this isn’t sanitary."
Gu Shaocheng didn’t hesitate. He was already unbuttoning his shirt and quickly took off his coat and shirt, handing them all to her. They both focused on studying the baby.
Chenxing re-wrapped the baby properly. The baby had cald down, no longer crying, but he wiggled restlessly in Chenxing’s arms, looking incredibly cute.
"What’s that on his face?"
"That’s vernix caseosa, preterm babies have it in more abundance, it’s fine, it will disappear later." Holding such a tiny baby, Chenxing’s heart softened again and again. Thinking of the scene of Shaocheng holding the baby, she couldn’t help but offer the baby to Gu Shaocheng again: "Hold him again, consider it practice for the future."
"No."
Gu Shaocheng abruptly pulled away from her, steadfastly refusing to hold Little Wubai again. He couldn’t help but tremble in his arms, his heart would soften too much for his own good.
He couldn’t help but internally rant: Having a child is too terrifying! Newborns are even more terrifying!
No wonder Baihao entrusted his wife and son to , this is the most arduous and heart-racing dreadful mission!
