Chapter 104: Extra 3: Babies

During the cesarean section, it was easy, but after it ended, the pain of the cesarean section began. Inserting the catheter, the pain of the wound, the pain of the uterine contractions after birth. Since the uterine contractions are intermittent, this is also the main cause of the pain of the wound after the cesarean section.

Luo Songran completely didn’t expect that it would be so painful after the anesthesia wore off, especially during the three hours after giving birth. As the anesthesia gradually faded, the pain of the incision on his abdomen gradually struck, until the anesthesia completely wore off, he couldn’t bear the pain anymore.

The pain of the incision, coupled with the continuous contraction pain of the uterus, almost made him feel that lying in bed was a very painful thing. Now lying down is not comfortable, sitting is not comfortable, standing is not comfortable either.

But he could only lie down because the catheter was still inserted, and it hurt even more here.

Duan Yizhou sat by the bedside, his hand tightly held by Luo Songran. His grip was almost silent, and this was the first time he had seen Luo Songran in such discomfort, pale-faced, unable to make a sound from the pain, even lacking the strength to cry.

But he couldn’t comfort Luo Songran with pheromones.

If Luo Songran were an omega, he could completely release alpha pheromones to help him alleviate the pain after the cesarean section. However, Luo Songran who had just given birth couldn’t take sex hormones.

Duan Yizhou held onto this cold hand, gently squeezing it to give some response to Luo Songran. He felt extreme heartache, lowered his head, and kissed Luo Songran’s hand, “Baby, if it hurts, just cry it out, it’s okay.”

“…I want to cry too, but I can’t.” Luo Songran took a deep breath to ease the pain of the incision. Just at this moment, the pain of uterine contraction struck again. He frowned tightly, biting his lower lip directly from the pain, tears streaming down his face, “I shouldn’t have given birth…”

Cesarean section turned out to be so painful. Now that the anesthesia has worn off, it’s like it’s taking his life.

Seeing Luo Songran crying in pain, unable to even cry out, tears falling from the corners of his eyes, gasping lightly, Duan Yizhou wiped away his tears with his fingertips, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart, “I shouldn’t have let it happen in the first place.”

He didn’t want to see Luo Songran suffer.

And as an alpha, he couldn’t do anything for his lover, not even comforting with pheromones.

“…I won’t have any more in the future.” Luo Songran lay on his side, his face pale, looking weak, “Make sure to use protection properly, or just get sterilized. No, you might still break it, just get sterilized.”

Duan Yizhou nodded without hesitation, “Okay, I’ll get sterilized.”

The child was originally an accident between them. This accident brought two, he already has two children, and Luo Songran. He doesn’t want to have any more, and he doesn’t want Luo Songran to suffer for him anymore.

Seeing the usually lively and energetic little one lying on the sickbed, unable to even cry out in pain, he felt extremely agitated. If he could bear such pain instead, he would rather do it himself. But unfortunately, he couldn’t.

“Duan Yizhou…” Luo Songran felt really uncomfortable, his face buried in the pillow, staring at Duan Yizhou, sobbing and calling out.

“What’s wrong, baby?”

“Can you hug me?” Luo Songran grabbed Duan Yizhou’s finger, applying a bit of pressure. Even though this touch made him uncomfortable, he didn’t know how else to ease it. “…I want you to hug me.”

The little ancestor who had just given birth had a pale complexion, and his body was already weak. Even when he was acting spoiled, he spoke softly with a hint of crying.

Hearing Luo Songran’s choked request, Duan Yizhou’s heart ached. But he couldn’t lie beside him because it would touch his postpartum wound.

In the end, he could only sit by the bed and gently wrap his arm around Luo Songran. “I can’t come up there to hug you, it will touch your wound and make you feel worse. Is this kind of hug okay?”

Luo Songran felt even sadder when he heard that. He watched silently as Duan Yizhou shed tears, quietly sobbing. He felt that this wave was too much for him to bear.

Wuwuwu, it really hurts.

Seeing him cry made Duan Yizhou feel uneasy. He couldn’t stand seeing this little ancestor cry, but now he couldn’t just make him stop crying by agreeing. He lowered his head and kissed Luo Songran’s hand, “Baby, I’m sorry.”

Luo Songran’s little face twisted in pain, his thin lips trembling. “Then kiss me a couple more times.”

Duan Yizhou’s heartache almost gave way to laughter at this request. “Okay.”

Perhaps it was the physical contact with an alpha, but Luo Songran felt slightly better now. At least there was something to distract his attention.

“Do you want to go see the little piglets?” He thought of their two sons who were not yet very familiar. “Your two sons.”

It wasn’t the little princess Duan Yizhou had longed for, and they didn’t need the princess’s room for the time being. It was kind of funny to think about.

“Your dad and mine are with the piglets. I need to stay with you.” Duan Yizhou held Luo Songran’s hand, trying to distract him from his discomfort. “It’s okay if they’re sons. That way, they’ll help me take care of you together.”

Luo Songran could sense Duan Yizhou teasing him. He pouted, “I’m not that stupid to need both of them to take care of me. Besides, I’m a dad now. Shouldn’t I be taking care of them?”

Hearing this, Duan Yizhou felt somewhat emotional. His little ancestor was still a child at heart, yet he had borne two children for him. “Even if you’re a dad now, you’re still my baby.”

Luo Songran was cheered up a bit by this, perhaps because he was tired from the pain. He gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The hospital room soon fell silent.

Duan Yizhou sat by the bedside, holding Luo Songran’s hand tightly, gazing at him affectionately. He didn’t know how long he had been looking at him, but he held their intertwined hands, lowered his head, and kissed the knuckle of Luo Songran’s finger, devoutly.

“I love you so much.”

This declaration of love blended with the steady breathing of his exhausted lover, as if affirming one thing:

――I love you deeply, as naturally as I breathe, it’s my instinct.

At that moment, the door to the ward was gently pushed open.

Duan Yizhou glanced back and saw Yan Nanchen. He then returned his gaze to his lover, speaking without much warmth, “Done seeing the kids?”

“Yeah, they’re both cute.” Yan Nanchen walked to the bedside, seeing his brother already asleep. “Did RanRan cry out in pain? It must be very painful after a cesarean section.”

“Very painful, he cried himself to sleep.” Duan Yizhou lowered his eyes, gently rubbing Luo Songran’s back with his fingertips.

Yan Nanchen looked at Duan Yizhou, hesitating to speak. “Um, I want to know…”

“I don’t know.” Duan Yizhou said, “Jiang Yi changed his number after submitting his resignation letter to me. Besides, it’s his choice, and I have no right to interfere.”

Yan Nanchen pursed his lips, his tightly clenched jawline indicating that he was suppressing some emotion. He took a deep breath and began to appear restless, wiping his face with his hand. “I can’t find him, no matter how hard I try. It’s like he’s disappeared.”

“Nanchen, we’re all adults. You should have anticipated this when you started this.” 

“I didn’t anticipate that he would be marked by me, get pregnant, I–“

Duan Yizhou heard Yan Nanchen’s voice starting to rise and saw a tendency for his furrowed brows to wake up Luo Songran. He looked at him with a deep gaze, indicating to lower his voice. “You’re speaking too loud. If you wake up RanRan, can you soothe him?”

Yan Nanchen, “…” He silently swallowed his anger, turned slightly, trying to restrain his urgency, then lowered his voice to ask, “If I speak more quietly, can you tell me where Jiang Yi might be?”

He used to be so confident, but now he looked so embarrassed.

Duan Yizhou had never seen the proud Yan Nanchen so humble, but even the most arrogant would show the sides of normal people when faced with love. The joys and sorrows of love could change anyone.

No one was exempt, including himself.

So he wouldn’t meddle in this matter. He felt guilty for not telling Jiang Yi about his feelings. Even if he knew where Jiang Yi was, he wouldn’t tell Yan Nanchen unless Jiang Yi asked him for help.

“I don’t know.” Duan Yizhou didn’t want to continue discussing this. He directly dismissed him, “RanRan just fell asleep. Don’t wake him up. If he wakes up, he’ll be in pain again. Go back and rest.”

Yan Nanchen heard Duan Yizhou’s words and saw the melancholy in his eyes as he left. He didn’t give him a glance until the door closed. In all honesty, he deeply admired the young Galaxy Group CEO for his significant achievements in management, but he despised him for bullying his assistant.

From now on, he wouldn’t let Luo Songran intervene in their affairs anymore. This matter shouldn’t involve anyone other than the two of them. He even started planning how to educate his twin sons. Fortunately, they were fraternal twins, so they didn’t look alike. But using their resemblance to play pranks on each other was a typical negative example.

He had to talk to Luo Yuduan and Duan Yuluo about it.

One week later–

“…I still feel so much pain. I can’t move my hands or feet, I can’t move anywhere, only you can hug me.”

On the hospital bed, a certain little ancestor started his daily crying routine again. But this time, there were two curious little spectators besides Duan Yizhou. The two little spectators had finished their milk and were lying in their cribs, not crying or fussing at all. They both had beautiful big eyes, staring at their dad crying, as if it were a magical thing, watching intently.

Luo Songran was just lying lazily on the bed, not wanting to move. He saw the little piglets in the crib looking at him. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“We want to see how Dad acts spoiled.” Duan Yizhou brought a clean shirt and sat down with a smile, picking him up. “Also, we want to see how Dad cries, to learn from it. Give me your hand.”

Luo Songran grunted softly and obediently reached out his hand for Duan Yizhou to change his clothes. He found it strange, “Why aren’t the piglets crying?”

“Maybe you cried all their tears when you were pregnant with them.” Duan Yizhou joked as he changed Luo Songran into a thin cotton cardigan, “That’s why Daddy cried so much.”

While changing clothes, he glanced at the scar on Luo Songran’s waist and abdomen, his eyes deepening with pain. He still felt sorry for him.

Luo Songran heard Duan Yizhou joking about him and couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “That’s not true. They will cry.”

Just as he finished speaking, the piglets in the crib kicked their little feet and smiled.

Duan Yizhou laughed, “They really haven’t cried much.”

Ever since they left the incubator two days ago, until they personally looked after the two children, they had been eating and sleeping well without fussing or crying. Even the nurses said they had never seen such well-behaved children.

Luo Songran sat on the bed and watched as Duan Yizhou squatted in front of him, putting on his shoes. He glanced back at the crib and then back at the piglets in the bed. The more he looked, the more he felt…

These three really looked alike. He began to have a bad feeling. As it turned out, this feeling was correct. Three years later, he truly became the only useless person in the family, and also a foolish dad.
