Xia Lin went for a physical examination once a month. One morning, Chu Lang would take him to the hospital where Chu Lang's father worked.
Since Xia Lin was a male pregnant person, initially it was Chu Lang's aunt and uncle who were in charge of him. They dared not let outsiders know.
It was winter now. Wearing a loose down jacket, his belly wasn't very obvious, but if you looked closely, you could still tell something was different.
"We can't help it. It's already been half a month, and it's twins. The clothes can't hide it anymore. Fortunately, we'll go to the hospital early in the morning, take the elevator directly to find aunt and uncle. We shouldn't meet many people on the way."
Chu Lang held Xia Lin's hand and promised, "I won't let anyone hurt you!"
Xia Lin laughed heartily. "Chu Lang, don't be so nervous. How could anyone want to hurt me? The last time I was hit was just an accident. Don't think about it anymore. Oh, it's getting late. Let's go quickly!"
In the car, Xia Lin slumped in the back seat, feeling drowsy. After a while, suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. "Chu... Chu Lang, I seem to be... not feeling well..."
Hearing this, Chu Lang quickly looked back. When he saw Xia Lin's pale face, his heart almost stopped. "Xiaolin!"
Xia Lin forced a smile and said, "I... I think I'm going to give birth. What should I do?"
Chu Lang felt as if his blood had stopped flowing. He forced himself to calm down. "Xiaolin, don't be afraid. I'll drive faster. We'll be at the hospital in a few minutes!"
Xia Lin comforted Chu Lang. "I'm okay for now. You seem more scared, Chu Lang. Don't drive too fast. Safety is the most important thing."
Although Chu Lang managed to stay calm, most of his attention was still on Xia Lin. In his eagerness, he ran two red lights at a deserted intersection and arrived at the hospital earlier.
Five or six minutes ago, Chu Lang's aunt and uncle had received his call. They brought their most trusted assistants and had already prepared the gurney. Chu Lang carried Xia Lin in his arms like a princess and put him on the bed.
"Xiaolin, don't be afraid. Aunt and uncle are very capable. They will surely keep you safe and make sure our children are born safely!"
Xia Lin tightly held Chu Lang's hand. When he was being sent into the operating room, he still stared at Chu Lang.
Not long after, Chu Lang's parents came. Ten minutes later, Xia Lin's parents also arrived. The five of them stood anxiously outside the operating room.
"Xiaolin will be okay, right?" Xia Lin's mother leaned helplessly on her husband. Xia Lin's father hugged his wife tightly and comforted her, "Don't worry. Our son is a lucky man. He will surely be safe and sound. So will our grandchildren."
After waiting for another hour, Chu Lang's aunt and uncle came out. After taking off their masks, they faced the crowd that rushed over and said with a smile, "Xiaolin and the two children are all safe and healthy!"
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and smiled at each other. Chu Lang asked, "Can I go in and see Xiaolin?" Of course, Chu Lang cared more about Xia Lin than the children.
Aunt and uncle said, "Wait until we transfer Xiaolin to a single - room ward, then you can go and see him. He's tired and asleep now. You can prepare some food for him."
When Xia Lin woke up again, he opened his eyes and found the whole ward full of people: his parents, Chu Lang, Chu Lang's parents, Chu Lang's aunt and uncle, and the two children sleeping soundly in the small bed beside.
"Xiaolin, you're awake." Chu Lang was the first to notice Xia Lin waking up. He squatted beside the bed and asked, "Xiaolin, are you hungry? There's soup in the thermos lunch box. Let me feed you some."
Xia Lin felt that his condition was better than he expected. His voice wasn't weak either. "I'll drink the soup later. I want to see the children."
Xia Lin's mother and Chu Lang's mother each held a child for Xia Lin to see. "One boy and one girl. Both children are very healthy."
Chu Lang's aunt said, "Although they were born a month prematurely, there's no problem with the children's health at all. Xiaolin, you've worked hard." Chu Lang's aunt knew very well how much her elder brother wanted an heir, after all, the family had a large business.
Xia Lin and Chu Lang looked tenderly at each other. "It's not hard. Chu Lang, when can I be discharged from the hospital?"
Chu Lang kissed Xia Lin on the face and said, "You can be discharged in a week. Then we can go home, the home that belongs to us and our children... Xiaolin, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"It's okay. I'm just... just..." so happy.
