1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Eight o'clock in the morning, it seems like very early.

But it had been almost half an hour since Liu Xiaoli was taken into the delivery room.

The corridor was unusually quiet, with people coming and going.

"Whoosh..."

Cheng Kaiyan could clearly hear her own heavy breathing, and the violent beating of her heart deep in her chest, which was contracting tightly and then expanding rapidly.

With each breath, the pungent smell of hospital disinfectant filled Cheng Kaiyan's lungs, carrying a burning heat that made him almost suffocate.

But Cheng Kaiyan sat stiffly and motionless on an old chair not far from the operating room door, clutching an aluminum lunchbox tightly in her hand.

It was the sliced ​​watermelon that Xiaoli hadn't finished eating yet; it was still emitting a slight chill, making his palms turn pale from the cold.

A sparse ray of sunlight shone through the window at the far end, falling on his face and feeling cool to the touch.

Her usually radiant face was now somewhat pale, and her delicate brows were tightly furrowed.

Those eyes were bloodshot, staring blankly at the sign on the ceiling of the operating room diagonally opposite that read "Operating".

His neck became increasingly stiff and sore from twisting and turning for a long time, making him want to turn his head and move around.

But Cheng Kaiyan didn't, or rather, she didn't dare.

I dare not relax in any way, nor slack off even a little.

"Nothing should happen...nothing should happen, please stay safe and sound."

Cheng Kaiyan's dry, chapped lips trembled slightly as he silently prayed for his wife, Liu Xiaoli, and their child.

That usually calm and composed face now appeared somewhat flustered, as if it were at a loss.

Besides sitting outside the door, silently helping Xiaoli, there was nothing he could do...

Cheng Kaiyan was acutely aware of this, but felt utterly powerless to do so.

In this era, medical conditions were underdeveloped, and the risks for pregnant women before and after childbirth were extremely high.

Statistics show that for every 10,000 people, 30 to 40 die from complications such as difficult childbirth, postpartum hemorrhage, and infection.

As for postpartum complications, they are countless.

Even the best hospital in China, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, cannot guarantee that pregnant women will not have problems during childbirth.

However, Liu Xiaoli was a rare case of twins, and the delivery time, difficulty, and risks were many times higher than those of ordinary pregnant women.

And she's such a slender girl, what if...

Just thinking about it made Cheng Kaiyan's eyes well up with tears.

Only now that things have come to this point, does he truly realize what having a child means for Xiaoli.

This means that it was not just the fruit and testament of their love, but something Xiaoli obtained at the risk of her life.

but……

If that's the case, Cheng Kaiyan would rather not have children in the first place...

How could Cheng Kaiyan bear to let his sister Xiaoli suffer?
"call……"

Cheng Kaiyan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her anxiety and social anxiety, and trying to calm herself down.

He continued to wait.

"Uh-"

It seemed that labor was about to begin. Liu Xiaoli's sharp, somewhat distorted voice, filled with desperate cries, weakly drifted through the operating room door.

Cheng Kaiyan's stiff and sore body trembled, and she felt even more distressed.

……

Inside the delivery room, the lights were bright and soft.

Liu Xiaoli lay weakly on the delivery bed, her slender, pale fingers gripping the cold iron railings tightly, her skin pale and bloodless.

That bright, beautiful, gentle, and quiet face was covered with fine sweat, and was also red and slightly distorted from holding her breath for a long time.

His entire body was covered and soaked in fine sweat, as if he had just emerged from the water.

Her dark hair was soaked, clinging damply to her cheeks, and sweat trickled down her slender, long neck, disappearing into her soft, shallow cleavage.

"Now relax slowly, relax a little, don't exert force suddenly, keep it even..."

Dr. Li and several female nurses in the ward were patiently and gently encouraging her, explaining techniques, and guiding Liu Xiaoli's labor rhythm.

"Um!!"

Liu Xiaoli, panting heavily, gathered her strength and controlled her body to exert it.

Although the entire production process was very difficult, tiring, and long, so long that her physical strength was almost exhausted.

Fortunately for Liu Xiaoli, as a dancer, controlling her muscle exertion helps her conserve precious energy during high-intensity exercise...

These are all skills she is extremely proficient in.

It could even be said to be an instinct that had long been ingrained in her bones.

and……

"I'm about to see my children... How can I, how can I collapse here... I still want to raise them to grow up healthy and happy!"

Liu Xiaoli kept telling herself this, and the sweat streaming into her eyes did not shake her will.

Time flows by like sweat dripping onto a bed sheet, drop by drop.

She didn't know how much time had passed.

The time stretched on so long that Liu Xiaoli had the illusion that several centuries had passed.

"Okay! Xiaoli! We can see the baby's head now, the most crucial moment has arrived!"

Dr. Li's sudden reminder made Liu Xiaoli muster her last bit of energy and strength, tensing her entire body as she exerted her full power.

"It's coming out!"

"Wow wow wow~~~"

The next instant, in the last moment before she lost consciousness, a soft baby's cry rang out in the ward as if the heavens and earth had parted.

It made everyone instinctively turn their gaze to it.

"It's a girl! She's been born!"

As Dr. Li exclaimed in delight, Liu Xiaoli felt as if a heavy burden was being lifted and her body was gradually becoming lighter.

But besides that, there was also a tremendous sense of surprise and emotion.

However, at this moment her mind was already blank. The white figures of the doctors and nurses in front of her were swaying slightly, her vision was already blurred, and faint black shadows gradually enveloped her vision.

"It's my daughter~ Kaiyan, I... I did it..."

A final thought flashed through Liu Xiaoli's mind before everything suddenly went black.

Her head tilted to the side, and her cascading hair swayed like willow branches amidst the drenched sweat, before she lost consciousness.

"Wait! There's another child! Don't faint!" Dr. Li's eyelids twitched, his face changed drastically, and he knew something was wrong. He quickly shook Liu Xiaoli, trying to wake her up.

"Wake up!"

The others also realized the seriousness of the problem and turned pale.

Meanwhile, the little fairy, still struggling in her mother's womb, shared the same feelings as her mother.

Pain, suffocation.

"Why isn't Mom moving?! What should we do? Mom has fainted!"

Liu Yifei suddenly realized the problem. The immense crisis and panic made her subconsciously use all her strength to move towards the outside world.

After exhausting her last bit of strength, Liu Yifei finally managed to get half of her head out of the hole.

Meanwhile, inside the delivery room, Dr. Li and the nurses were still trying to wake up the unconscious Liu Xiaoli and give her an IV drip.

"It's over... my sister might not be able to be saved..."

Unable to wake him, Dr. Li's face was grave. He let out a long sigh and leaned weakly against the wall.

"It's too late to switch to a C-section..."

The other nurses were also about to fall into despair.

No one understands better than them what it means when, after a labor that lasts six or seven hours, the mother collapses from exhaustion before the baby is even born.

This means the child is most likely beyond saving...

"Quickly, start them!!"

Dr. Li took a deep breath and gave the order in a cold voice.

"Wait! The baby seems to be coming out by itself! The head is coming out!"

A sharp-eyed young nurse screamed.

"Help!"

……

Chaos reigned in the delivery room as everyone frantically tried to deliver the baby.

Finally, with the help of her aunts, the little fairy was born.

"It's a miracle! This child was able to come out on his own..."

"Yes, it was a miracle that this child could even come into being..."

Dr. Li breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at the twin sisters, one big and one small, lying together on the clean sheets.

The two sisters had incredibly delicate, rosy skin with a small amount of white discharge, but it wasn't unsightly. On the contrary, under the operating lights, it had a sacred quality, like the birth of new life.

The birth of the two sisters gradually filled the delivery room with a light and pleasant fragrance.

"Hey! Sister Li, did you find it? What is it? It has a faint, pleasant fragrance."

"Sniff sniff..."

"It's true!"

The aunts, relieved that the baby was born healthy, finally noticed something was wrong.

"It seems to be coming from the babies?"

Dr. Li leaned closer to the restless older sister, sniffed her raised little feet, and exclaimed in surprise.

Perhaps it was the baby's naturally delicate and sensitive skin, and the sensation of Dr. Li's breath, that made the soles of the older sister's feet tickle, causing her to pout and burst into loud cries.

"Oh dear... quickly wipe the babies down..."

The aunts were immediately distressed and began to comfort her.

The crying gradually brought the younger sister, Little Fairy, back to her senses.

The overhead operating lights were still dazzlingly bright, and Liu Yifei kept her eyes closed, her small, delicate fists still clenched tightly from the exertion she had just experienced.

Under the caring and loving gazes and gentle wiping of the doctors, nurses, and aunties, Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief, completely exhausted.

The great crisis that had threatened her life and death had been resolved, and she was finally able to rest.

Soon, the humiliating memories of the childbirth process came flooding back.

Although she is still a baby, she is, after all, a second-generation human being, and naturally wants to be the older sister.

So from the moment she gave birth, Liu Yifei was determined to be the first to emerge from her mother's womb.

However, Liu Yifei's development was somewhat slower, and compared to her younger sister, her size and strength were limited.

Just as Liu Yifei was about to step out, her younger sister suddenly pulled her away and kicked her away.

So the younger sister came out first and became the older sister.

And she, the older sister, inevitably became the younger sister...

"What?! I'm the older sister! How could that guy beat me to it?"

"You actually dared to kick me?!"

"Has coming into this world already used up all my luck? My inherently wicked sister!"

Liu Yifei clenched her small, tender fists, looking like she was about to cry but had no tears.

Just as she was immersed in immense humiliation, a crisp sound rang out!
"Clap!!"

Suddenly, Liu Yifei felt a sharp pain in her buttocks, and her pretty, delicate face scrunched up.

"Why isn't this child crying?!"

"Dr. Li! Come quick! Is something wrong?"

"what?!"

"I'll try!"

"Clap clap clap clap clap!!"

A series of sounds rang out in the ward. Liu Yifei, whose little feet, bottom, and palms had all been slapped, could no longer bear the pain.

I'm still a newborn baby, what's wrong with crying?
So what if I cry?!

Liu Yifei adjusted her mindset, pouted her lips, and burst into tears.

She cried so sadly.

Can you not be sad?
The older sister has become the younger sister!

"Hehehe... She finally cried!"

The aunts breathed a sigh of relief and burst into laughter.
