Half a month before the due date, Tang Bai had some spotting. The baby in his belly couldn’t stay there any longer and wanted to come out early.
The whole family rushed to send Tang Bai to the hospital. Everyone was panicking except Tang Bai, who remained calm in his maternity clothes, playing games while gasping for breath and enduring the pain.
“Does it hurt? Let’s stop playing games for now.” Xie Ruheng said with concern.
“Hiss – No, no, I can’t let my teammates down!” Tang Bai said sternly, full of team spirit.
“Then I’ll help you fight.” Xie Ruheng quickly changed his way of persuading.
“Go away, go away. Your skills are not as good as mine.” Tang Bai gritted his teeth, forced himself to finish the game, and then chose to withdraw.
The teammates who wanted to continue to be led by the boss asked earnestly: “Boss, when will you come back?”
Tang Bai: “After I give birth to the baby.”
Teammates: “?!?!!???”
Even though he had played pregnancy experience games, when Tang Bai really experienced it, he still wanted to jump off the building.
Whenever Tang Bai felt that the pain could not be borne any more, the next wave of contractions would hit him like crazy. He whimpered in pain, but his last bit of reserve prevented him from howling loudly. Otherwise, if a nurse or doctor said in private that the Light of Omegas cried in pain during childbirth, where would he put his face?
“If it hurts, pinch my hand.” Xie Ruheng put his hand next to Tang Bai’s hand. Tang Bai specially cut his nails short before coming to the hospital, saying that he could pinch Xie Ruheng at will then.
Tears welled up in Tang Bai’s amber eyes. He felt as if his stomach was being beaten by tens of thousands of people. He didn’t even have the strength to cry out in pain, let alone pinch anyone. Besides, Brother Xie, your hands are already covered with scars! Pinch, pinch, pinch! What are you still pinching?!
Go away, you damn alpha dog who made me cry!!!
Seeing Tang Bai curled up on the bed with a pale face, with his lips blue and hair wet with cold sweat, Xie Ruheng’s heart ached and he wished he could bear the pain for Tang Bai.
You had to be three fingers dilated to get an epidural. Tang Bai was only one finger dilated and he was already in so much pain that he almost fell unconscious. So, he grabbed a nurse’s hand and said faintly, “I, I want an epidural. I can pay extra…”
The nurse said with tears in her eyes, “My male god, even if you give me an autograph, we can’t break the rules.”
Tang Bai rolled his eyes, looked like he had lost his dream, and lay on the bed, sobbing.
“Tang Tang, don’t cry, don’t cry, be good, mommy is here.” Mother Tang coaxed him with concern. As a mother, she simply couldn’t bear to see her child suffer like this, and her tears were about to come out.
Tang Bai sobbed and held his mother’s hand. Giving birth to a child was really too difficult. From now on, he would never quarrel with his mother again.
“Be patient. It will take a long time to go from one finger to three fingers. But our Tang Tang is so strong, he will definitely be able to do it.” Tang Bai shook off Mother Tang’s hand in grief and anger. No, I can’t do it. I can’t!
“Tang Tang, grandpa found a movie that I heard is very good. Do you want to watch it to distract yourself?” Grandpa Tang came over and tried to share the movie with Tang Bai. Tang Bai’s mind was in a mess. He found that people’s sorrows and joys were not the same. Everyone was trying to comfort him, but he just felt it was noisy.
He used the Lamaze breathing method alone to relieve the pain. Once he stopped using this breathing method, the pain instantly intensified, scaring Tang Bai so much that he concentrated all his attention on regulating his breathing.
By three o’clock in the afternoon, Tang Bai’s eyes were dull and he didn’t even have the strength to whimper. It was at this time that the doctor said that he had reached three fingers and could have an epidural.
Tang Bai raised his eyelids tremblingly as if he was regaining consciousness, and choked up, “Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, hurry, hurry up…”
After the epidural injection, Tang Bai felt reborn in an instant. The epidural injection did not mean that there was no pain at all, but it could reduce most of the pain. The comparison before and after the injection was the difference between one step to heaven and one step to hell.
Tang Bai cried and laughed and said to Xie Ruheng that epidural for childbirth was one of the greatest inventions in human history. Xie Ruheng was so heartbroken at this time that he didn’t know what to say, “You were very strong today. I am impressed by you.”
Tang Bai gave himself a thumbs up firmly. He was in a better mood now that he had the epidural. He no longer had the irritability of wanting to hit anyone he saw. So, he stretched out his hand to Xie Ruheng, posing a domineering attitude of “help me up”, and with the support of Xie Ruheng, he walked back and forth in the corridor of the delivery room with oxytocin hanging to promote uterine contractions and cervical opening.
At eight o’clock in the evening, Tang Bai’s cervix was dilated to seven fingers. When he did the fetal heart monitoring, they could see the regularly spaced contractions on the instrument. This gave Tang Bai great confidence that it would not take too long from seven fingers to ten fingers. Even if he put in all his effort, he would hold on to ten fingers to give birth naturally.
Compared with the pain of natural childbirth, Tang Bai was more worried about the scar left by caesarean section. After all, pain was only temporary, but ugliness lasted a lifetime. Moreover, natural childbirth was bitter first and sweet later, while caesarean section was sweet first and bitter later.
When the ten fingers were opened, Tang Bai was already in so much pain and sleepiness that his brain turned into a mess. He was then pushed onto the operating table in a daze.
Xie Ruheng stood at the door of the delivery room waiting. He had never felt that time passed so slowly. His anxiety made him pace in the corridor unconsciously. After an unknown amount of time, a loud baby cry was suddenly heard from the operating room.
Because Tang Bai’s diet and exercise during pregnancy were well controlled under the strict supervision of Xie Ruheng, and the fetus was in a normal position, Tang Bai only experienced half an hour of suffering. He was pushed into the observation room with a dazed face, and the baby who had been in his belly for nine months was placed next to him by the nurse.
There were only a few hairs on his head, which was the same light brown as his. His face was very small, and his eyes were exactly the same as Xie Ruheng’s, black phoenix eyes. But his face was so ugly that it made Tang Bai cry.
He knew that the newborn baby would be ugly, but he didn’t expect it to be this ugly.
Tang Bai looked weakly at his and Xie Ruheng’s child. The child was so small and could not speak yet. Its little mouth was open as if it wanted to drink milk, or as if it was saying hello to him. For some reason, Tang Bai’s nose suddenly felt sore and he whispered, “Hello, clown egg. I’m your little daddy.”
The first person Xie Ruheng saw when he entered the door was Tang Bai. His mind was entirely on Tang Bai. When he saw Tang Bai was about to cry, he immediately took out a tissue and asked, “Does it still hurt?”
“I’m fine. Come and see your baby.”
Xie Ruheng looked at the silent and well-behaved child and said softly, “Our child is so cute.”
Tang Bai: “?” Brother Xie, what’s wrong with you? Brother Xie, are you blind?
“Yes, this nose and little mouth look so much like Tang Tang when you were a child. They are exactly like you.” After praising him for a few words, Mother Tang couldn’t help but look at Tang Bai. Seeing Tang Bai’s weak appearance, she wanted to cry again. Mother Tang quickly held back her tears and said, “Are you feeling uncomfortable now? Are you hungry? Mom has made some soup for you.”
Tang Bai was like a triumphant hero, accepting everyone’s admiring gazes. He drank some hot soup and discussed the child’s name with everyone.
The child would take Tang Bai’s surname, which was chosen by him and Xie Ruheng by drawing lots. They spent several months thinking of a name but could not find one that they were particularly satisfied with.
Tang Bai logged into his StarNet account and happily informed everyone: “It’s a boy, and we’re raising money online to name him.”
@Do not eat green peppers: Tang Nanwa [Meow.jpg]
@When my money comes from the wind: Tang Hei [Dog head.jpg]
@Qing Ling Ming Meng: Tang Xuan (Heng is jade, Xuan is the color of jade, so isn’t that white)
@NEzYt_: Tang Muqing, “Dangzhi Shi·Zhengmin”: “Ji Fu composes a poem, as quiet as the breeze”. Muqing refers to the pure and harmonious air.
….
Tang Bai took a look at the group of silly netizens in the comment section. Although he did not find a real name that he particularly liked, he picked out many candidates for the nickname list, such as Tang Naicha, Tang Bobo, Tang Hulu, etc.
Grandpa Tang pondered for a moment, clapped his hands and said: “Why don’t we name the child ‘Tang Qianyan’, which is taken from the poem ‘The swallows that flew in front of the halls of the Wang and Xie families in old days, now fly into the homes of ordinary people’. In this way, although the child does not have the surname Xiao Xie, the name can make people think that there is a surname Xie before Tang.”
“Moreover, this poem and the cause you two are striving for are similar in nature. Aren’t these things you do to make the swallows that flew in front of the halls of the Wang and Xie families in old days fly into the homes of ordinary people?”
After hearing this, Tang Bai couldn’t help but sigh in his heart that this name not only reflected Grandpa Tang’s skill as a master of balancing things but also showed Grandpa Tang’s profound cultural heritage. It was wonderful!
He thought about it again with his desire to survive as a level 10 lightning avoidance master. Although this poem talked about the downfall of the Xie family, the Xie family in the poem referred to the corrupt royal family, while Xie Ruheng’s family was the ordinary people’s family in the poem.
“Brother Xie, what do you think of the name Tang Qianyan?”
Xie Ruheng looked at the baby and said with a smile, “Xiao Qianyan, I am your father.”
