Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 190 Ancient Times (44)

One morning after that day, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently. Li Xiangyi, who had just finished a hearty breakfast, carefully supported Ji Xiao and walked slowly in the quiet and beautiful courtyard to help her digest the food.

As she was walking, Ji Xiao suddenly stopped, her body trembling slightly. In an instant, her hand that was originally gently holding Li Xiangyi suddenly tightened, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Li Xiangyi's heart tightened, and he hurriedly hugged Ji Xiao with concern, and asked anxiously: "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

After waiting for the pain to pass, Ji Xiao's face turned pale as paper. She weakly raised her head and looked at her husband Li Xiangyi, her eyes full of panic and helplessness: "Xiangyi, I... I think I'm about to give birth..." Her voice was trembling and it was heartbreaking.

When Li Xiangyi heard the news, he was stunned, but he quickly came to his senses and stammered, "Oh, oh! I'll carry you back now, don't be afraid, I'm here, everything will be fine. Don't be nervous, don't be nervous..." Although he tried hard to stay calm, he couldn't hide the panic in his words.

However, even though his heart was in turmoil, Li Xiangyi's hands holding Ji Xiao were extremely steady and strong, without the slightest tremor. Unconsciously, he even subconsciously used his unique skill - the Posuo step, with steady and light steps, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world.

Ji Xiao hugged Li Xiangyi's neck tightly, rested her head in his broad and warm arms, and whispered to him, "Xiangyi, it's okay, I was just having contractions just now. It's still some time before the actual delivery, so don't be too nervous." Although her tone was soft, it carried a reassuring power.

"Well, I see."

Even so, his muscles were tense. Seeing this, Ji Xiao stopped persuading him and asked him to put him down. Then, using the strength of his arms, he walked around the room so that he could have a better delivery later.

Soon, Banxia and others came in with the midwife. At this time, Li Xiangyi was half-supporting Ji Xiao to walk around the room. Because the contractions had just begun, Li Xiangyi was quite nervous.

So when the group came in, all they saw was his tense face, which scared the two midwives so much that they couldn't even breathe.

"Son-in-law, the midwife is here."

"Ah."

Midwife A: "Sir, please help Madam lie down on the bed so that we can check on her."

Li Xiangyi nodded and carefully helped Ji Xiao lie down on the delivery bed. However, before that, the two midwives had been taken to the compartment by Banxia and changed into the clothes that Ji Xiao had asked others to prepare.

The entire delivery room was prepared according to Ji Xiao's requirements, but before she gave birth, these had already been used in the medical clinic under Si Gu's guidance. As a result, the chances of postpartum infection for many women were reduced.

However, Ji Xiao did not want to go to the medical hall to give birth, and Li Xiangyi did not want her to go either. She thought that no matter how clean it was, it could not catch up with the modern sterile room, and Li Xiangyi was simply a mysophobia and felt that it was not clean.

Soon, after the midwife's examination, it was almost time for delivery, so Li Xiangyi was driven out. He was reluctant to go out at first, but Ji Xiao looked at him firmly, so he walked out reluctantly.

Even so, he stood guard outside the door without moving an inch. At this time, Uncle Song asked someone to bring a chair.

"Sir, please sit and wait! Miss will still be here for quite a while."

"No need, Uncle Song. I'll just stand here and wait." He didn't blink while speaking, and he didn't move at all. He just waited outside the door firmly.

He didn't know how long he had been waiting, so long that it seemed like an epoch had passed. If it weren't for his excellent hearing, he would have been unable to hear Ji Xiao's voice, because she wasn't the type to shout loudly, but instead gritted her teeth and made muffled groans.

The child was born only when the sun was setting and the sky was full of rosy clouds. At the same time, Li Xiangyi covered up the strange phenomenon when the child was born. People nearby only felt that the air was unusually fresh and they instantly became much more energetic. People outside only felt that the weather was very good today, so the sunset glow was still there at the horizon, and even the flowers on the roadside were more energetic than before.

At this time, the midwife came out holding the child and said, "Congratulations, young master, you have a baby boy."

Li Xiangyi asked without even glancing at her, "How is Madam?"

The midwives were not curious about his reaction, because during the time they lived here, they had already witnessed how much Master Li, Patriarch Li, cared about his wife.

"My Lord, the Madam is in good condition. They are cleaning up for her now."

After getting the answer, Li Xiangyi circulated Yangzhou slowly for a week. After relieving the numbness in his body, he walked into the room.

When he came to the bedside, he saw Ji Xiao's tired and pale face. He immediately squatted down and kissed her with heartache.

"Xiaoxiao, thank you for your hard work. We won't have any more children in the future."

"Well, Xiangyi, have you seen our son?"

"Uh (⊙o⊙)..." Li Xiangyi's eyes wandered and he didn't look at her. Ji Xiao knew he didn't look at her, but it didn't matter. After all, the child was there and he could see him anytime.

Just at this moment, Banxia spoke up to save him, "Sir, the other room is ready. You can take the girl over there."

So Li Xiangyi quickly carried the person to another room. At the same time, the midwife had already taken the child over.

Since that day, he has been taking care of Ji Xiao himself. With so many people watching over the child, nothing will happen to her. That night, Ji Xiao meditated and circulated her limited spiritual power, recovering most of her health.

However, if you want to fully recover, you have to take it slowly. After all, qi and blood cannot be restored in a day or two.

That day, when Li Xiangyi was feeding the baby, Ji Xiao asked, "Xiangyi, the baby will be one month old soon. Have you decided on a name?"

Instantly, Li Xiangyi, who was originally staring at the boy drinking milk, raised his head and looked at her in confusion, "No, I forgot."

The reason why Li Xiangyi fed him was because this kid refused to drink his wet nurse's milk. As long as he was taken away from Ji Xiao, he would cry, howling dryly without tears. Moreover, he would not drink even if milk was squeezed out of him. Therefore, Ji Xiao asked Yun Duo to squeeze milk from the cow raised in the space to feed him.

However, outside, Li Xiangyi still bought two milk-producing sheep as a cover-up. This kid is small and quite picky about food, and only drinks milk with spiritual energy.

"Xiaoxiao, why don't you pick the name?"

"Okay! How about calling her Nian'an? 'Any illusions will not invade my feelings, my heart will be pure and I will live in peace.' How do you think?" After all, this was the first name that flashed through her mind. After repeating it silently several times in her heart, Ji Xiao thought it was not bad, so she said it out loud.

"Well, we don't ask him to achieve much in the future, as long as he is healthy and safe, that's all."

"Yes."

The moment he heard his own name, Xiao Nian'an waved his arms and shouted "ah, ah" as if he understood it.

Then the two of them looked down at him and said with a smile, "Hey~ boy, you also know that you have a name!"

"Nian'an, our little Nian'an also knows that he has a name!"
