Chapter 3253 Shen Tianyu 653 (Xianxian)

Shen Tianyu accompanied the mother during childbirth in the delivery room.

Looking at Yuan Jinzhi's tired face, he felt an overwhelming pang of heartache.

Because it was her first childbirth, even though she had an epidural, and even though he had channeled his inner energy into her and given her tonics, the prolonged labor still left Yuan Jinzhi completely exhausted.

He reached out and stroked her cheek, then used a towel to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

Yuan Jinzhi raised her hand and grasped his hand, her voice hoarse, and said, "Don't just think about me, look at Xianxian too."

Shen Tianyu glanced at the baby.

The little baby girl had rosy skin, and although her head was pointed, she was very pretty.

His eyebrows and eyes really resembled Su Jingyu's when she was a child, about 70% similar, and the other 30% similar to his and Yuan Jinzhi.

Unlike other babies, Xianxian's eyes were wide open right after she was born. Her dark, bright pupils seemed to hold a lot of secrets. Her nose, mouth, and chin were all small and delicate.

Her small mouth was pursed like an adult's, and she stared intently at Shen Tianyu.

Shen Tianyu thought to himself, "This girl, although she has Su Jingyu's features, is not as easy to deal with as her."

I reckon he'll be a handful in the future.

The nurse instructed Yuan Jinzhi: "Let the baby lie on your chest and suckle for a while; this will help with milk production."

Upon hearing this, Xianxian moved her little hand a few times.

The way he was acting made it seem like he wanted to strip Yuan Jinzhi's clothes off himself.

The nurse exclaimed in surprise, "It seems like the baby can understand what I'm saying?"

Yuan Jinzhi smiled at her.

She couldn't say that this child came into this world because of the blessing of dragon scales and phoenix feathers and the magic array set up by Master Mao Jun. Even in the womb, the child listened to Shen Tianyu talk about metaphysical techniques every day. He was one day old and had been cultivating for more than nine months.

Shen Tianyu helped Yuan Jinzhi unbutton her clothes.

The nurse carried Xianxian into Yuan Jinzhi's arms.

Xianxian wrapped herself up and began to suck, her movements practiced and skillful.

Yuan Jinzhi laughed and said, "Children are so smart; they can suckle right after they're born."

The nurse laughed, "It's a baby's instinct. Kids these days are all so smart, but your baby is especially smart. She can understand what we say. Look at her big, bright eyes; it's like she can read our expressions."

Although she was more than nine months pregnant and often dreamed of Xianxian's appearance, Yuan Jinzhi still felt that she was a stranger when she was born.

She reached out and gently stroked her forearm.

As Xianxian sucked, she felt as if a hormone was being secreted in her brain.

That hormone should be called maternal love.

She suddenly loved her very much.

She stroked her small, soft hand and said, "Xianxian, do you love Mommy?"

A magical scene happened.

Xianxian released her sucking mouth, looked at Yuan Jinzhi, her eyes widened, and her mouth opened.

Yuan Jinzhi hoped she would say "I love you," but she was also afraid she would actually say it.

If a newborn can talk, wouldn't that scare the doctors and nurses?

Without the protection of the Yuan and Gu families, they would probably have been forcibly taken away for investigation and research.

Xianxian grinned and continued nursing.

Shen Tianyu took in all her little actions and thought to himself, "This little girl is quite clever, she knows how to control herself, she really has potential."

Having just given birth, she didn't have much milk. After suckling for a long time without getting a single drop, Xianxian let go of her little mouth and stared at Shen Tianyu with her big eyes.

Shen Tianyu said, "This is my first time being a father, I have no experience. Would you like some water or formula?"

Xianxian's eyes widened even more, as if she was unhappy.

The nurse was amused by the father and daughter and said, "If the mother's milk supply is insufficient, she can feed the baby some formula. Let the baby suckle frequently, even if there is no milk, eight to twelve times a day, to promote milk production. Try to breastfeed as much as possible."

She then gave some further instructions.

Shangguan Ya went to prepare the milk powder.

After preparing the milk, she came over, carefully picked up Xianxian, sat her down, and put the bottle to her lips.

Xianxian didn't open her mouth, but her big eyes were still staring at Shen Tianyu.

Shen Tianyu said, "You want me to feed you?"

Xianxian couldn't speak, but her eyes were still fixed on him.

Shen Tianyu was amused by her. "I've never breastfed a baby before, how can you trust me so much?"

Xianxian's nostrils twitched slightly, a subtle movement that only Shen Tianyu noticed.

He thought, "This little girl has quite a temper; she actually snorted."

It’s over.

His personality is like his, difficult to please, unlike Yuan Jinzhi.

He pulled up a chair and sat down, then said to Shangguan Ya, "Mom, give me Xianxian, I'll feed her."

Shangguan Ya was still worried. "I'll feed them. I've raised Shenzhi and Jinzhi before, so I have more experience than you."

She put the pacifier into Xianxian's mouth again and said softly, "Xianxian, Grandma is feeding you milk powder, open your mouth."

Xianxian still didn't open her mouth.

Shangguan Ya had no choice but to hand her over to Shen Tianyu.

Shen Tianyu took Xianxian and put the pacifier to her lips.

Xianxian opened her little mouth and started eating.

Shangguan Ya was quite surprised. "Xianxian was much smarter than Shenzhi and Jinzhi when they were little. She even knew to be picky about who fed her milk powder. Shenzhi and Jinzhi were silly when they were little. They ate and slept like idiots. They would eat as soon as a pacifier was put in their mouths, no matter who fed them."

Halfway through the feeding, Xianxian let go of the nipple and stopped eating, then looked at Yuan Jinzhi with her big eyes.

Shen Tianyu helped translate: "She means that you have to be strong, because she still prefers breast milk."

Yuan Jinzhi burst out laughing!

I thought Qingbao, Subao, and Boyan were smart enough, but I didn't expect her Xianxian to be even smarter.

Xianxian looked at Shangguan Ya with her big, bright eyes.

Shangguan Ya was immediately flattered.

Because this child has never looked at her properly since birth, even when she held her just now, she still didn't look at her properly.

Shangguan Ya waved to her and smiled, "I'm your maternal grandmother, you can call me maternal grandmother too. Does Xianxian want her maternal grandmother to hold her?"

Xianxian twitched her legs.

Shangguan Ya didn't see it and stretched out her hands.

Xianxian kicked her calves.

Shen Tianyu said, "She must have urinated."

Shangguan Ya was surprised again, "She's so smart. She knows her mother is tired and doesn't want to make her mother work. She wants to ask her father, but that's not right. Asking her grandmother is the most suitable option."

She took Xianxian from Shen Tianyu's arms, opened the diaper, and sure enough, she had urinated.

The doctors and nurses nearby had delivered so many babies and seen all sorts of strange things, but this baby was the strangest of all.

They are smarter than the average human baby.

The delivery room was filled with joy, but those waiting outside were pacing anxiously.

They are not allowed to come in for visits before visiting hours.

No matter how high one's position or how wealthy one is, no matter if one is the chairman or president of a large corporation, no matter how skilled one is, at this moment one can only obediently wait outside.

Even more anxious than them was Jing Hong.

It was clearly Bai Chenxue who conceived first, but the child was Yuan Jinzhi's.

Yuan Jinzhi gave birth more than half a month earlier than her due date, while Bai Chenxue's due date had long passed.

He was so anxious that he even considered having a C-section.

Master Mao vehemently disagreed, saying that Jing Bai was perfectly healthy and needed a natural birth, as only he could accurately calculate the birth date and time of a natural birth. He also mentioned that Wang Yangming, the Ming Dynasty thinker, military strategist, educator, and the great synthesizer of the philosophy of mind, was born after his mother carried him for fourteen months, while Nezha's mother was pregnant for three years and six months.
