By four o 'clock in the morning, more than three hours had passed. There was only pain and no progress.
To He Fang, it was physical torture, but to Li He, it was mental torture. He sat on the long bench outside, feeling uneasy.
It was only then that he realized how useless it was to be a man!
This was a woman's battlefield. A man could only watch her suffer!
Old Madam Yu couldn't help but comfort Li He. She said with experience, "Don't worry. Her cries are getting louder. It's going to happen soon."
Li He could only nod silently. There was nothing he could do.
A loud and clear cry finally broke the silence of the night.
This cry seemed to break the darkness and usher in the dawn. Li He's heart relaxed a little. He stood up hurriedly and was about to knock on the door when it opened.
He stared blankly at the doctor who had taken off his mask. Without asking anything, he rushed in.
A nurse carried the child and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Li. It's a boy."
Li He only glanced at the child and went straight to He Fang's bedside. He held her hand and looked at her haggard face, unable to say anything.
He Fang only smiled and said nothing.
The doctor pushed Li He away and placed He Fang on the trolley. He pushed them out of the delivery room and into the ward.
He held her hand the whole time and didn't let go.
After lying on the bed, the doctor went out. He Fang said, "I need to go to the toilet."
Li He carried her and realized that she was too heavy. It was a little strenuous to carry her. Looking at her gloomy face, he couldn't help but tear up again.
Actually, he knew that it was fine. The whole process was very smooth, but he couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart. It was as if his heart was being gripped by someone and half his life was being taken away. That was the first time he experienced how important He Fang was to him.
Old Madam Yu said, "This child is really like you."
"He can't be like me. He can't be like me. He has to be like Mommy. "He looked so ugly!
Li He held the child carefully. He was a little disappointed. Why wasn't it a daughter?
However, this was his seed. Hugging him was like hugging the whole world. He still loved him to the bone.
He gently fiddled with the child's little hand. He had one more fetter in this world. From the first time he saw this adorable little life, he was destined to be with him for life. He was destined to grow in his heart like a tree, for generations to come.
If he needed it, it would appear. If he didn't need it, it would disappear. Just like that, it would protect him for the rest of his life.
In the dead of the night, he hugged her and the child and finally said solemnly, "Thank you."
She stroked his hair and said, "I should be the one saying thank you."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, as if they had finally sensed each other.
After the child was weighed, it was six and a half pounds.
Both of them were grinning from ear to ear.
He Fang said, "What do you think we should call it?"
"Li Liujin?
"Go to hell!" He Fang hit him with a pillow angrily.
"I'll listen to you." Li He decided to give the naming rights to He Fang. After all, she had worked the hardest.
"You're really letting me name it?" He Fang didn't believe him.
"Really, you can name it. You're a talented woman, after all! "
He Fang harrumphed and said, "At least you know what's good for you!"
She muttered, "Kankan Vatan," "Riding the horse leisurely." She even silently recited the Tang poem, "Caring for oneself has no long-term strategy" and "The distant bell rings late," but she still couldn't come to a decision.
Li He watched her recite 300 poems and felt a little anxious for her. He kindly reminded her, "I don't mind if it's your surname."
"You're getting more and more out of hand." He Fang rolled her eyes at him, but she asked, "What do you think is a better word for 'Reaching the peak, looking down at all the mountains?' Li Hui? Li Ling? Li Ding? "
Before Li He could reply, she suddenly slapped the bed and said, "I got it. Li Lan! "
"Li Lan, Li Lan." The more she recited, the smoother she became. She looked at Li He hopefully and said, "How about this?"
"Li Lan." Li He also recited it a few times and thought it was pretty good, so he said, "It's decided then. Li Lan. But … "
"But what?"
"You're comparing too many paintings. Your son might hate you in the future. I definitely won't take the blame for this. "The name was really good. It was artistic and very recognizable.
He Fang said proudly, "My son is smart. He will definitely write it!"
She forced herself to get out of bed the next day, even though her legs were still a little shaky.
On the third day, she didn't want to stay in the hospital anymore and wanted to go home.
Li He agreed and brought her and the child home.
She had plenty of milk, but it was often sore. Sometimes, the baby would just finish eating and the milk would flow onto the bed without her noticing. Li He was flustered as he followed behind. When the handkerchief couldn't stop the milk, he could only cover it with his mouth.
It tasted a little sweet and tasted better than milk.
He comforted himself that he would be able to gallop on the beautiful prairie in a month's time!
Because they had a child, the quality of their sleep was much worse. The child was very noisy in the middle of the night.
He Fang saw that his eyes were red from staying up too long. Her heart ached as she said, "You can sleep in the room next door."
"I can help you keep an eye on him too." Li He was a little embarrassed. Actually, he slept like a log every night, relying on He Fang to wake up and coax the child. Every day, he swore to be more alert, but he couldn't react immediately when the child cried.
He Fang was still in her confinement period, and he didn't want her to be so tired.
Even though he had tried hard to change himself, He Fang was still more tired.
However, the biggest change for Li He was that he smoked less and less at home. Even if he couldn't resist smoking a cigarette, he would brush his teeth a few times. Otherwise, He Fang wouldn't let him hold the child.
This child had cured him of his cancer of laziness for many years. Sleeping in had fundamentally improved. Even if he couldn't help He Fang at night, he had to wake up early to coax the child so that He Fang could sleep more in the morning.
Sometimes, when he slacked off and caused the child to cry, he would feel extremely guilty. His heart melted when he saw the child smile at him.
When Wang Yulan heard that she had given birth to a chubby boy, she and Li Zhaokun were clamoring to come over. She didn't know where Hong Kong was, so she had to come all the way. If her mother-in-law didn't take care of her during her confinement period, she would be criticized for it.
Li He told Li Zhaokun the route and told them to come over by themselves. One good thing about Li Zhaokun's travels was that he never got lost. He knew where to rest and where to board the train.
Moreover, in his previous life, whenever Wang Yulan missed her grandson, she would follow Li Zhaokun all the way to the capital. Li He wasn't worried about this at all.
Therefore, he only got them to buy train tickets to Guangzhou, and he would pick them up personally …
