After careful consideration, An Wuyang decided to let Huo Yunchuan keep those top-tier international bank VIP cards himself.

One reason was that being pregnant, he might be forgetful for three years, and it wouldn’t be worth it if he accidentally lost the cards.

Another reason was that carrying so much money on him would make him a target for robbery.

Huo Yunchuan didn’t insist, or rather, he already knew that An Wuyang was this kind of person, not caring about fame or profit, simply excessive.

While he liked his simplicity, he also worried that if An Wuyang encountered bad people, he could be wiped out in minutes.

Fortunately, luck was on his side, as the person he met at the bar that night was himself, otherwise…

Huo Yunchuan shook his head and didn’t think about what could have happened next, because that was impossible.

Just like in previous years, from the first day of the lunar new year to the Lantern Festival, this half-month passed by exceptionally quickly.

While others were packing up to return to school, An Wuyang’s life remained unchanged from the Lunar New Year.

Xue Ji Yang: Bro, are you still at school? I’m going back tomorrow. Give me your address, I’ll send you some delicious food.

An Wuyang had a headache and replied, “Don’t bother, I’m on a diet recently.”

Xue Ji Yang: ???

 

 

Xue Ji Yang: …

An Wuyang on a diet?

Oh my god.

Xue Ji Yang remembered, this guy was so thin he was practically just skin and bones.

It had only been a few months, he couldn’t have gotten thin while the other person got fat.

An Wuyang didn’t say anything silently, he just sent his friend a picture of himself on a scale.

All that could be seen were his chubby feet, with ten round toes squeezed together.

In front of them was a shocking number.

Xue Ji Yang’s eyes widened: “Holy crap, 153! Are you eating pig feed or miracle fertilizer at school?”

An Wuyang: “…”

As someone who had gone from fat to skinny, Little Fatty naturally understood the feeling of gaining weight.

He was afraid of poking at his friend’s wound, so he didn’t say much.

The next morning, Xue Ji Yang packed his luggage and was driven to school by the family driver.

He huffed and puffed as he carried a large 26-inch suitcase and climbed to the third floor.

Xue Ji Yang opened the door to room 303, and the person inside exclaimed in surprise, “Back to school so early?” Then they saw the suitcase in his hand and frowned, “Why didn’t you ask me to help you carry it?”

“It’s just the third floor, no big deal…” Xue Ji Yang gasped for breath and said, “with your skinny arms and legs…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Xie Ran came over and effortlessly lifted the suitcase, helping him move it into the room.

“…” Xue Ji Yang swallowed hard and dared not comment on Xie Ran’s slim arms and legs.

“It’s still two days before school starts, why did you come back to school so early?” Xie Ran asked curiously, after all, Xue Ji Yang was a local.

He also casually opened the suitcase and helped organize Xue Ji Yang’s things.

This was within Xie Ran’s duties, as Xue Ji Yang paid him two thousand a month to take care of his daily life.

“Uh…” Xue Ji Yang awkwardly replied, sitting down at his own desk and opening his computer to play games.

Xie Ran tidied up a bit and glanced back at him.

Honestly, Xue Ji Yang was the type of wealthy offspring that Xie Ran despised the most, lazy and indulgent, except for eating, drinking, and playing, his grades were passable, but he was almost useless.

“I brought a lot of food, you can help yourself if you’re hungry, no need to be polite to me.” Xue Ji Yang said before putting on his headphones and immersing himself in the game.

Xie Ran acknowledged his words with a simple “Oh.”

Seeing some fresh fruit, he washed it clean, soaked it in hot water, and handed it over to the other person.

Xue Ji Yang ate a grape that still had warmth to it, exclaiming, “Wow…” He ate several more in astonishment, “Hey, you’re really talented, Xie Ran, to pull off such a cool trick.”

“…Why are these pants trendy?” Xie Ran asked while holding a package of pants.

But the person was engrossed in the game and didn’t respond.

Xie Ran pursed his lips, decided to wash them again before hanging them up to dry.

Xie Ran had gotten used to taking care of someone, probably starting from their freshman year.

An Wuyang’s due date was mid-April, but the doctor suggested that the baby could be delivered by cesarean section once it reached thirty-eight weeks.

After the discussion among the members of the Huo family, they unanimously agreed that the baby’s condition was good and they should wait for him to initiate labor on his own.

However, as they truly entered the thirty-eighth week, they, who had decided to patiently wait, seemed particularly anxious.

Today marked the 265th day of pregnancy, and An Wuyang had firmly entered the thirty-eighth week.

His belly remained motionless, with the baby inside behaving as usual, kicking when he should and turning over when necessary.

Today, he weighed himself, recording his latest weight as 155 pounds.

He had gained more than thirty pounds since the early stages of pregnancy.

However, his face remained thin, with all the weight gained concentrated on his belly and buttocks.

It could be foreseen that even after giving birth, An Wuyang would still have a slender figure.

“Well, it’s the same as usual today. Just gave him a pudding…” Huo Yunchuan was on the phone with Zhang Ruoci, as his parents had been calling frequently inquiring about An Wuyang’s condition in recent days.

While speaking with his mother, his eyes never left the teenager sitting on the sofa eating.

“Yunchuan, Wuyang’s belly has been quiet for so long, why not opt for a cesarean?” Zhang Ruoci’s voice was serious, “Wuyang’s situation is special after all, the doctor cannot judge him based on common criteria.”

If the baby remained inactive, she feared there would be risks if they waited too long.

Huo Yunchuan remained silent for a while before replying, “I asked Shao Fei yesterday, and he suggested observing for two more days.”

Zhang Ruoci asked, “What if there’s still no movement after two days, then go for the cesarean?”

Huo Yunchuan didn’t hesitate this time, “Yes, if there’s no movement after two days, then go for the cesarean.”

As they discussed the matter, An Wuyang listened attentively.

Indeed, the baby had already reached thirty-eight weeks, so even if he were born now, he would be a full-term baby.

He muttered, “Why aren’t you willing to come out yet?”

After finishing the caramel pudding in his hand, An Wuyang endured the discomfort of back pain and numb feet, sneaking in a few extra steps around the room.

Online sources said it would be beneficial for childbirth.

Huo Yunchuan noticed An Wuyang walking along the wall, clearly looking uncomfortable but still refusing to sit down.

His heart felt heavy with concern, and he immediately walked over to support An Wuyang, saying, “Don’t move around, sit on the sofa.”

“It’s okay, I’ll walk a bit more.” An Wuyang refused to stop, stubbornly pursing his lips, “The baby in my belly is being lazy, I want to remind him it’s time to come out.”

Huo Yunchuan felt both amused and exasperated, then furrowed his brow and said, “Stop being silly, sit down.”

He used gentle force, not wanting to exert too much pressure.

After some persuasion, he finally convinced An Wuyang to sit back down.

“The baby is so lazy,” An Wuyang looked at him and said, “why don’t we call him Lazy?”

Huo Yunchuan smirked slightly, feeling the generation gap between them whenever moments like these arose.

But if it made An Wuyang happy, he complied, “Sure, whatever you like.”

However, An Wuyang was just being facetious and didn’t actually like the name ‘Lazy’. “No, let’s call the baby Dun Dun, honest and sincere, just like me.”

Huo Yunchuan couldn’t maintain his serious demeanor and chuckled softly.

After breaking character, he rubbed his face and said, “Alright, let’s call him Dun Dun.”

The joy of these past few months made Huo Yunchuan, who had lived a life of luxury, feel like the first thirty years of his life were insignificant.

It wasn’t until he met the little angel that everything became clear and bright.

“Wuyang,” Huo Yunchuan said seriously, “we all agree that if there’s still no movement from the baby after two days, we’ll start the cesarean section. Do you have any objections?”

“None,” An Wuyang said, “I trust you, whatever you decide.”

On the evening of April 15th, in the bathroom.

As someone who couldn’t see his feet no matter if he looked down or bent his head, An Wuyang had been deprived of the right to bathe by Huo Yunchuan early on.

Every time An Wuyang stripped in front of Huo Yunchuan, he felt like a pig…

Well, a pig that could raise its hands, feet, and chin!

“How’s the water temperature?” Huo Yunchuan controlled his breathing evenly, maintaining a calm demeanor on his face.

“It’s okay,” the boy, whose voice was as small as a mosquito, replied.

Huo Yunchuan helped An Wuyang wash his face and body, then took a skin-friendly towel and went to the private area.

The little angel’s face turned red and heated up in the misty steam.

Depending on the situation, the man assisting with the bath would occasionally relieve the boy’s reactions during the bathing process.

However, this wouldn’t happen too frequently, with the frequency controlled to about once a week.

Huo Yunchuan had already touched the boy once this week, and now, seeing the cutie he had inadvertently aroused, he just looked away.

“Yunchuan…” An Wuyang grabbed the handrail specially installed for him on the wall and tremblingly called out.

His voice low, Huo Yunchuan said, “Hold on a bit longer.”

Pressing his forehead against the wall, An Wuyang’s voice trembled as he said, “It’s not… like that…”

Huo Yunchuan noticed his trembling legs and felt particularly helpless inside. “Okay, let’s wait a little longer, then go to bed.”

He quickly softened his stance, lacking principles.

“I might not be able to wait…” An Wuyang cried, “my stomach hurts…”

Huo Yunchuan sighed deeply, then got up, grabbed a towel, and without saying a word, wrapped up the boy in front of him, carrying him to the bed first.

 

“Are you in a lot of pain, Wuyang?”

An Wuyang was only experiencing contractions, so it wasn’t particularly unbearable yet.

Lying on the bed, he said, “It’s not too painful yet, just hurry up and get ready.”

Huo Yunchuan remained relatively calm, immediately taking out his phone to call the hospital and contact the doctor they had arranged with.

Then he found clothes for An Wuyang to wear, pants, socks, a hat, wrapping him up tightly, leaving only his eyes exposed.

It was still dark outside, and the weather was a bit cold.

Huo Yunchuan made two trips back and forth, first bringing down the items An Wuyang had previously packed, and then coming back up to carry An Wuyang.

Before they left in the car, the phone at the Huo residence rang.

“Mom, Wuyang is having stomach pains, I’m taking him to the hospital now.”

The Huo residence was in a frenzy, mobilizing everyone.

Half an hour later, at the hospital.

They had already arranged for staff to wait, and as soon as they arrived, they were taken to a separate room, where the doctor came to observe.

An Wuyang was in the midst of contractions, but there was no bleeding or anything severe at the moment.

After examining, the doctor said, “Please wait a moment, once you’ve signed the necessary documents, we can begin the surgery.”

During the wait for the preparation of documents, there were only the two of them in the hospital room.

Huo Yunchuan held An Wuyang’s hand tightly, “Don’t be afraid, you’ll just have a nap soon, it won’t be painful.”

After enduring a wave of contractions, An Wuyang’s face still turned a bit pale, “Hmm,” but he didn’t want to say much.

In the hospital room, several more people quickly entered, Huo Yunchuan’s parents and his grandfather.

“Wuyang,” they called softly, their voices low and cautious.

Seeing the pale-faced teenager lying on the hospital bed, they were deeply distressed.

An Wuyang greeted each of them one by one. He had been smiling before, but the contractions started again.

“Where’s the doctor?” Huo Xiao asked.

“He’s preparing the surgery agreement,” Huo Yunchuan said, sitting there anxiously, not daring to touch An Wuyang’s belly.

Fortunately, the doctor soon arrived with a stack of documents. “Mr. Huo, let me explain this agreement to you…”

“Okay,” Huo Yunchuan stood up.

They went to the side to sign the surgery agreement, with the Huo family accompanying by the bedside.

Everyone was too heartbroken to know what to say, they just told An Wuyang not to be afraid, assuring him that they were all there.

At this moment, An Wuyang was nervous, keeping his mouth shut and appearing unusually quiet.

After signing the surgery agreement, he was immediately taken into the operating room.

Huo Yunchuan stayed with him the whole time, holding An Wuyang’s hand tightly.

Once inside, they had to administer anesthesia, which took quite a while.

An Wuyang watched the doctor busy around him, and gradually began to relax, turning his head to look at Huo Yunchuan with incredibly spirited eyes.

It was this quiet and unassuming appearance that made Huo Yunchuan’s heart ache.

“It’s okay, don’t be afraid,” he said, holding An Wuyang’s head and blinking his slightly sour eyes.

An Wuyang lifted his hand and touched Huo Yunchuan’s face.

As the anesthesia was administered and he felt the prick on his spine, tears welled up in his eyes, and he let out a sob.

Huo Yunchuan: “…”

Then the anesthesia took effect on his spine, and the doctor gave him a sedative injection.

Huo Yunchuan witnessed the entire process with an especially uncomfortable expression on his face.

Fortunately, the surgery went smoothly. Half an hour later, the baby’s cries echoed in the operating room.

Outside the door, the Huo family of three who had been waiting anxiously momentarily relaxed.

Huo’s grandfather said softly, “Wishing for the safety of the father and son.”

Huo Xiao and his wife exchanged a glance, their faces a mix of joy and worry, as the situation was still uncertain.

They continued to wait nervously for another twenty minutes. Finally, the doctor and nurses wheeled out the bed with An Wuyang and the newborn baby lying on it.

Now it was time to go to the ward.

After nodding to Huo Yunchuan and his parents and grandfather, everyone quietly followed behind, without clamor or jostling for position.

The doctor and nurses settled An Wuyang and his son, and stood by the bed to give detailed instructions to the family. There were many things to pay attention to for a patient who had just undergone surgery.

An Wuyang woke up groggily, hearing the doctor’s voice beside him.

Then, as if sensing something, he turned his head to the side and saw a little red face, chubby and…ugly…

But An Wuyang suddenly smiled with narrowed eyes.

“Dun Dun…”

The four generations of the Huo family watched from the side, unable to hold back their tears, bowing their heads momentarily.

Because they saw that An Wuyang was still a child at heart.
