The Federation Hospital strictly prohibited testing the gender of the fetus beforehand. Although not many families cared about this issue now, this rule, like the First Charter, had been strictly enforced since many years ago. No medical institution dared to violate it. During these months, Xu Le and Zou Yu had tried to guess the gender of the little life in her belly, but only he knew. He wanted it to be a girl.
Perhaps this kind of thinking was a little rustic and boring, but Xu Le was such a person. Boys were more like their mothers, and girls were more like their fathers. Although he and Zou Yu were now friends who talked about everything and had a strange relationship, in the end, he still wanted this child to be more like his brother Shi Qinghai.
"What's his surname?" Xu Le asked this important question with some difficulty.
Zou Yu laughed coldly and looked at him with a hint of mockery. At this moment, she didn't look like a mother who had just given birth. Instead, she looked more like the cold girl in red in front of the nightclub in Linhai.
"What do you want his surname to be?"
Xu Le lowered his head and didn't say anything. Only at this moment did he understand how unfair it was to Zou Yu that he wanted to leave his bloodline for Mr. Shi.
"Fill in your name in the father column. This can always be changed. As for the surname, use mine for the time being. "
After two days of rest, Zou Yu's spirit was much better than when she had just given birth. That was why she had the energy to stare at the streaks of fire in the night sky outside the window.
July was the summer of Planet S1. The small celestial bodies in the galaxy would rush into the orbit of Planet S1 like moths to a flame. They would rush into the atmosphere and become a dense meteor shower.
Zou Liuhuo? Shi Liuhuo? Xu Liuhuo? Xu Le scratched his head and freely combined the three surnames with the name Liuhuo. He always felt that it didn't sound good. However, the faint knife scar under Zou Yu's cheek reminded him that this unmarried mother had courage and determination that no one could match. She might have named her child on a whim, but no one could change her mind.
The newborn baby suddenly moved. Zou Yu looked nervous. She held the baby in her arms, untied her clothes, and began to feed the baby.
Xu Le watched quietly from the side. He had no intention of avoiding it. He watched as the girl's abdomen gradually swelled. He watched as this little life grew. Although he was not the child's biological father, deep in his heart, there was still a feeling of gentleness.
His relationship with Zou Yu was very strange. There was no romantic relationship between the two of them, but they seemed to be able to reveal their truest thoughts to each other. Just like at this moment, he forgot to avoid it. Zou Yu didn't seem to have any extra thoughts of being shy.
In Xu Le's eyes, this girl was just a mother, not a woman. In Zou Yu's eyes, Xu Le was more like a close friend, not a man.
The child had already been born and needed a father. The Zou family couldn't allow such a life to exist without a name. Xu Le gently clenched his fist and asked softly, "What should we do next?"
Hearing this, Zou Yu still turned her body slightly, but there was a trace of coldness on her face. She said mockingly, "Marrying a blockhead like you is not the life I imagined."
Xu Le knew that she was speaking the truth. He shrugged helplessly and couldn't say anything else. At this moment, the door of the ward opened and a nurse walked in. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Xu Le. She exhaled heavily and said, "You're Xu Le?"
Like a prisoner, Xu Le rubbed his hands nervously, stood up, and nodded.
"Your wife is giving birth. Where have you been these past few days? Do you know how many things you have to do? "The nurse, who was in her thirties, looked at Xu Le with furrowed brows. She knew that the woman in the ward was a family member of a big shot in the Federation, but at this moment, looking at this young father, she couldn't help but feel angry.
…
…
The father of a newborn in the Federation did have a lot of things to do. Xu Le carried the child and walked towards the end of the corridor under the nurse's guidance. At the end of the corridor was a small pink room full of fairy tale colors. However, in the middle of the room, there was a room that seemed to stand out.
Xu Le glanced at Zou Yu's citizen number on the electronic form. After a moment of silence, he wrote down his own citizen number. The newborn baby was put on an identification ankle bracelet and was carried into the pink room by the nurse.
He leaned against the transparent glass window and looked at everything in the room nervously. This was a room that every hospital in the Federation had. Other than the birth parents of the newborn, no one else could go near this room.
The newborn baby, who seemed a little uncomfortable because of the interruption of breastfeeding, lay on the soft blanket and moved the red carrot's arms and the white carrot's legs with some difficulty. It had no idea what was hidden under the blanket and on the workbench.
…
…
Xu Le looked at this scene nervously. He knew that when he was born, he had also gone through this procedure. Moreover, everyone in the Federation was already used to this. However, he, who had experienced so many things, was the one and only existence in the Federation. Therefore, he felt endless worry.
Time passed very quickly. The newborn, who had been named Liu Huo, was carried out by the nurse. Xu Le immediately looked at the skin on the back of the little guy's neck. However, he did not see any wound. He hugged the child tightly, as if someone wanted to take him away.
The child started crying. Xu Le hugged him even tighter. He stared into the nurse's eyes and said, "Why is he crying?"
"Because you are hugging him too tightly." The nurse looked at him unhappily and said, "Go to the police station for a microchip verification within half a year. Then register your name."
Xu Le asked curiously, "You … are you also a staff member of the Bureau of Proclamation?"
The nurse ignored him. Xu Le could only carry the child alone and walk along the long corridor to the ward. He knew that Liu Huo, who was in his arms, was already different from when he was born. A brand new microchip had been implanted behind his neck.
Xu Le subconsciously felt a chill. He felt that a certain part of his neck was starting to heat up.
Back in the ward, Zou Yu did not feel anything strange. In the Federation, everyone would be stabbed when they were born. This was just a more common saying. In reality, no baby would feel pain. Probably only Xu Le, who had been brought up by Uncle Feng Yu, who was a freak who could replace the microchip behind his neck, would be so nervous about such a thing.
The ward was still dark. Zou Yu hugged the child and lay on her side quietly. Xu Le sat beside her. After a long silence, Zou Yu suddenly said in a low voice, "I don't know if that person is still alive."
Xu Le knew who she was asking about. Perhaps Zou Yu and Shi Qinghai did not have any feelings for each other. However, she had a child now. An unmarried mother who had just given birth was the most sensitive and vulnerable time.
Xu Le looked at the girl's messy hair. Suddenly, his heart ached. He said very seriously, "Don't worry. I will find him. Trust me."
July's Liu Huo, a blind date. Zou Yu looked at the Liu Huo outside the window. It was not for the man she had met in the golden wind, nor was it for Xu Le, nor was it for Tai Zhiyuan. She did not know why, but she suddenly felt like crying.
