Chapter 129 It Hurts Too Much (Two Chapters Combined, Please Subscribe)

Every day, just as dawn breaks and before the first rays of light have fully penetrated the window, Lu Mingze gets out of bed quietly.

He first went into the kitchen, rummaged through the cupboards for fresh ingredients, and cooked a nutritious black chicken soup for Jiang Yun.

The small flame licked the bottom of the pot, and he stood by, stirring it from time to time, afraid that the soup would burn.

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Jiang Yun was awakened by a slight noise coming from the kitchen.

She slowly opened her eyes, looked at the empty space beside the bed, and a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips. She knew that Lu Mingze was busy with her again.

At this moment, the baby moved slightly in the crib and made a soft humming sound.

Jiang Yun immediately turned to the side, her movements still somewhat slow, as she had only recently given birth and was still weak. She gently patted her baby's little body, softly humming, "Baby, be good, Mommy's here, have a good sleep..."

The voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, and the baby seemed to hear the most reassuring incantation, soon falling back into a peaceful sleep.

After a while, Lu Mingze carried a steaming bowl of black chicken soup into the bedroom with a gentle smile on his face: "Yunyun, get up and drink some soup, it's good for your recovery."

Jiang Yun sat up, leaned against the headboard, and took the soup bowl.

She gently blew on the soup noodles, scooped up a spoonful and put it in her mouth. The delicious soup slid down her throat, warming her heart.

"Mingze, thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Yun looked up at Lu Mingze, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Lu Mingze sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out and smoothed Jiang Yun's messy hair, and said, "You're the one who's been working hard. Don't think so much. Taking care of your health is the most important thing."

After finishing her soup, Jiang Yun wanted to go see the baby, but Lu Mingze quickly stopped her, saying, "You rest well, I'll bring the baby over."

As he spoke, he walked to the crib, carefully picked up the baby, and his movements were already much more skillful.

He gently placed the baby next to Jiang Yun. The baby waved its little hands and babbled as if greeting its mother.

Looking at the baby's wrinkled but incredibly cute little face, Jiang Yun couldn't help but reach out and gently touch his little hand. The baby immediately grabbed her fingers, and with quite a bit of strength.

"Baby, do you miss Mommy?"

Jiang Yun murmured softly, her eyes full of doting affection, and maternal radiance surrounded her.

In the afternoon, sunlight streamed through the windows and fell on the sofa in the living room, creating warm, dappled patches of light.

Lu Mingze sat on the sofa, engrossed in reading parenting books, with a notebook beside him where he occasionally jotted down key points.

Jiang Yun came out of the bedroom carrying the baby, and Lu Mingze quickly got up: "Why did you come out? Shouldn't you rest a little longer?"

Jiang Yun shook her head and smiled, "It's a bit stuffy lying down for too long, so I came out for some fresh air." As she spoke, she sat down on the sofa and gently rocked the baby in her arms.

The baby opened his round eyes and looked around curiously. Suddenly, he grinned and drool dripped down the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun quickly picked up a bib from the side and gently wiped the drool off, her movements gentle and skillful: "Baby, you are such a naughty little thing."

Seeing how skillfully Jiang Yun took care of the baby, Lu Mingze was deeply moved.

He leaned over and kissed the baby on the cheek, making the baby giggle and wiggle around.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Lu Mingze got up to open the door, and there was Jiang Qian carrying large and small bags.

"Qian'er".

Lu Mingze greeted them warmly.

Jiang Qian walked into the house and saw Jiang Yun and the baby. Her face lit up with a smile: "Where's my sweet baby?"

As she spoke, she quickly walked to Jiang Yun's side and gently touched the baby's face: "Wow, this little guy seems to be growing so fast, he's already so chubby."

Jiang Qian put the things she brought aside. Among them were postpartum tonics she had carefully selected, as well as cute little clothes and a rattle drum for her baby.

"I bought you bird's nest. I heard it's especially good for postpartum recovery. You must eat it on time."

As Jiang Qian spoke, she handed the bird's nest to Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun took the gift and said with emotion, "Qian'er, you're so thoughtful, always thinking of buying these for me."

Jiang Qian sat down beside the baby, her eyes never leaving him, and kept muttering, "My little nephew will definitely be as beautiful as his sister and as smart as his brother-in-law when he grows up."

"What brother-in-law?"

Lu Mingze broke out in a cold sweat.

Then, she started sharing parenting tips she'd seen online: "Let me tell you, the water temperature is very important when bathing a baby; it can't be too hot or too cold. Also, you need to pay attention to the technique when burping your baby..."

Jiang Yun listened attentively, nodding and smiling from time to time, and even joked, "Qian'er, you're almost a parenting expert."

Lu Mingze listened with great interest, occasionally exchanging a few words with Jiang Qian.

In the evening, Lu Mingze was preparing dinner in the kitchen, while Jiang Qian helped Jiang Yun bathe the baby.

The bathroom was filled with warm steam.

Jiang Qian gently placed the baby into the bathtub. As soon as the baby touched the water, he became excited and waved his arms and legs, splashing a lot of water.

Jiang Yun held a small towel and gently wiped the baby's body, saying, "Baby, let's take a nice bath, and then you can have a good sleep."

The baby seemed to understand, and kept grinning.

After the baby finished bathing, Jiang Yun wrapped him in a soft bath towel and carried him back to the bedroom.

She sat on the edge of the bed, giving the baby a massage. The baby closed his eyes comfortably, enjoying his mother's gentle touch.

Jiang Qian watched from the side, her eyes full of envy: "When I have a baby in the future, I want to take care of him like you do."

After dinner, the family sat around the TV in the living room. The baby slept soundly in Jiang Yun's arms, while Jiang Yun, Lu Mingze, and Jiang Qian chatted quietly, sharing the little things in their lives.

The dim, soft light shone on everyone's faces, outlining a warm and inviting silhouette.

Looking at the scene before her, Jiang Yun was filled with happiness.

She knew that with the love and support of her family, she would be able to get through this special period smoothly and witness the baby's growth with Lu Mingze.

The next morning, the morning sunlight shone through the thin curtains and onto the bed in the bedroom, outlining the silhouettes of Jiang Yun and the baby sleeping peacefully.

The baby's even breathing sounded like a gentle lullaby, immersing Jiang Yun in a brief moment of tranquility. However, this tranquility was shattered the moment she opened her eyes. Her gaze involuntarily fell on her slightly protruding belly and somewhat swollen limbs, and the anxiety about her changing figure quietly resurfaced in her heart.

Jiang Yun got up quietly, trying not to wake the baby beside her, and tiptoed into the bathroom. She stood in front of the mirror and slowly took off her pajamas. Her reflection in the mirror made her brows furrow slightly.

After childbirth, the skin on the abdomen becomes loose, stretch marks spread like vines, and the once slender waistline is nowhere to be seen, replaced by a slightly flabby lower abdomen.

She raised her arm, looking at the extra roll of flesh on her upper arm, her eyes welling up with tears. "How could it have turned out like this..." she murmured softly, her voice filled with disappointment.

Just then, Lu Mingze's gentle voice came from outside the door: "Yunyun, are you in there? The baby seems to be moving a little."

Jiang Yun quickly composed herself, wiped her face with a towel, and replied, "I'll be right out." She quickly put on loose-fitting home clothes and walked out of the bathroom.

Lu Mingze was standing by the crib, gently rocking the baby while humming a tuneless little melody.

Seeing Jiang Yun come out, he smiled and said, "The baby is awake, probably hungry."

Jiang Yun walked over, took the baby from Lu Mingze, and sat down on the edge of the bed to prepare to breastfeed.

The moment she untied it, a throbbing pain shot through her, and she couldn't help but let out a soft groan.

Lu Mingze immediately became anxious: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Yun bit her lower lip and said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's a little swollen, and it feels very uncomfortable."

Lu Mingze's eyes were full of heartache. He gently held Jiang Yun's hand and said, "I'll go get you some hot water. Just bear with it for now. I heard that a hot compress might help. I'll look it up online later."

After saying that, he quickly walked out of the bedroom.

As Jiang Yun watched his retreating figure, a warm feeling welled up in her heart, but her physical discomfort and anxiety about her figure still weighed heavily on her mind.

As the baby began to strain, Jiang Yun endured the throbbing pain and gently stroked the baby's head.

Seeing her baby's contented expression amplified her maternal instincts, but this couldn't completely dispel the gloom in her heart.

After feeding the baby, Jiang Yun handed the baby to Lu Mingze and said, "Can you hold the baby for me? I want to lie down for a while."

Lu Mingze placed the baby in the crib, then returned to the bedside, sat down next to Jiang Yun, and gently massaged her head: "Are you too tired? You should rest well. Call me if you need anything."

Jiang Yun closed her eyes, nodded, and gradually relaxed under Lu Mingze's massage.

After a while, Jiang Qian arrived.

Seeing Jiang Yun lying on the bed, she asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Jiang Yun opened her eyes and forced a smile, "I'm fine, just a little tired."

Jiang Qian sat down by the bed, took Jiang Yun's hand and said, "Let me tell you, I've seen a lot of postpartum recovery methods online. Let's try them together after you finish your confinement period. Look at those celebrities, they recover so well not long after giving birth, you can definitely do it too."

Jiang Yun said with a wry smile, "It's not that easy. With the fat on my stomach and my figure, I feel like I can never go back."

Jiang Qian patted Jiang Yun's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be discouraged. You're still in your postpartum period and your body hasn't recovered yet. After you finish your postpartum period, we'll gradually exercise and eat a balanced diet, and you'll definitely lose weight. Besides, it's normal for your figure to change a bit after giving birth, and Mingze definitely won't mind."

At this point, Lu Mingze walked in with a cup of hot water. Hearing Jiang Qian's words, he quickly nodded and said, "Qian'er is right, Yunyun. You will always be the most beautiful in my heart. Don't worry too much about your figure. Taking good care of your health is the most important thing."

Looking at them, Jiang Yun's anxiety gradually lessened with the emotion she felt.

She took the hot water, drank a sip, and felt much warmer. Just then, the baby made babbling sounds in the crib. Jiang Qian got up, went over, and picked up the baby: "Little baby, do you want to play again? Auntie will play with you." The baby waved its chubby little hands, seemingly responding to Jiang Qian, which made her laugh out loud.

Lu Mingze sat down next to Jiang Yun and said softly, "Yunyun, I made you some fish soup. Drink some later; it'll do you good for you."

Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Thank you, Mingze. You've worked so hard these past few days, taking care of me and the baby."

Lu Mingze patted Jiang Yun's head and said, "Silly girl, this is what I should do. You've sacrificed so much for our family, what I'm doing is nothing."

At noon, Lu Mingze brought the fish soup to the bedroom and placed it on the table next to the bed.

He helped Jiang Yun sit up, then picked up a spoon and gently stirred the fish soup, saying, "Be careful, it's hot. I blew on it."

Looking at Lu Mingze's earnest expression, Jiang Yun felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She took the spoon, drank a sip of the fish soup, and found it delicious, warming her to the core.

After lunch, the baby fell asleep again.

Jiang Yun leaned against the headboard, while Lu Mingze and Jiang Qian sat beside her chatting.

Jiang Qian suddenly remembered something, took out a fashion magazine from her bag, and said, "Look, this magazine has a lot of postpartum recovery cases, as well as methods shared by professional fitness coaches. After you finish your confinement period, we can follow them."

Jiang Yun took the magazine and looked at the photos of those hot moms with amazing figures, a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.

She carefully flipped through the magazine, occasionally exchanging a few words with Jiang Qian.

However, by the afternoon, the swelling and pain had become more severe, and Jiang Yun's brows furrowed in pain.

Lu Mingze quickly followed the method he found online and applied a hot towel to her, but the effect was not obvious.

Seeing Jiang Yun's distress, Lu Mingze was extremely anxious: "Yunyun, why don't we go to the hospital to get checked out? I'm afraid this will be bad for your health." Jiang Yun hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Lu Mingze quickly packed his things, called a car, and accompanied Jiang Yun to the hospital.

All the way, he held Jiang Yun's hand tightly and kept comforting her: "Don't worry, when we get to the hospital, the doctor will see you, and you'll definitely get better."

Upon arriving at the hospital, the doctor examined her and said it was a common postpartum blockage problem that required professional treatment to clear the blockage.

With the doctor's help, Jiang Yun received treatment, and the swelling and pain gradually subsided.

After returning from the hospital, Jiang Yun lay exhausted on the bed.

Lu Mingze sat on the edge of the bed and gently massaged her legs to relieve her fatigue from her travels.

Jiang Qian was taking care of the baby, softly humming a nursery rhyme. Seeing this heartwarming scene, Jiang Yun's anxiety lessened a bit.

She knew that although her physical recovery and changes in her figure made her anxious, with her family by her side, she could overcome all difficulties.

At night, city lights streamed into the bedroom through the window, and the baby slept soundly in the crib.

Lu Mingze lay down next to Jiang Yun, gently hugged her, and said, "Yunyun, don't think too much, get some sleep. No matter what your figure becomes, I will always love you."

Jiang Yun leaned against Lu Mingze's chest, feeling his warmth, and whispered, "Thank you, Mingze. I feel so lucky to have you here."

In Lu Mingze's arms, Jiang Yun gradually drifted off to sleep. In her dream, she saw herself and her baby playing happily in the sunshine, and her figure slowly returned to its former state.
