1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 346 Twins of Dragon and Phoenix

Just then, two more hurried footsteps arrived; Gu Bohuai and Gu Hongying had come looking travel-worn.

Gu Bohuai had just returned from a meeting out of town when he received a letter saying that Lu Youyou was about to give birth. Gu Hongying was also there at the time, so he brought her along to see his sister-in-law and nephew and niece.

"Comrade Lu, Comrade Lin, I'm so sorry I'm late!" Gu Bohuai apologized as soon as he saw them.

Lin Nanxing laughed and said, "It's alright, it's not too late. Youyou just gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and they haven't come out yet."

Gu Bohuai's smile deepened. He had already been happy once when he found out they were twins. He had only thought about having a boy and a girl in his heart, but he had never dared to say it out loud.

He knew in his heart that even if he wanted to see his grandchildren, he had to care about Lu Youyou first, otherwise even his own son wouldn't stand by his side.

"It's good that we made it in time! By the way, Comrade Lin, is there anything you need for hospitalization? Just tell me what you need and I'll arrange it."

Gu Bohuai was afraid that his contribution was too small, so he wished he could take on everything.

"We don't need it for now. I'll let you know if you need it," Lin Nanxing said with a smile.

She's not afraid of troubling people; isn't it only right that her own grandfather contributes money and effort?

Gu Qingye didn't interrupt; he felt it was only natural.

Gu Bohuai had already given her a red envelope in advance, but she was happy to continue contributing, so why stop her? Youyou has worked so hard, and he just wanted to give her the best of everything in the world.

After greeting the Lu couple, Gu Hongying moved closer to Gu Qingye and asked in a low voice, "Brother, hasn't your wife come out yet? Have you seen the child?"

"I've seen him, he'll be out in a bit."

This was Gu Hongying's first time becoming an elder in her life, and she was very interested in it. Her eyes were shining, and she spoke much faster.

"Did the twins, a boy or a girl, come out first? Do they look alike? Do they look like you or your sister-in-law...?"

After a series of questions, there was complete silence. Gu Hongying looked up in surprise and could only see Gu Qingye's unmoved expression, but she couldn't see the blush on his face.

Gu Qingye realized that he couldn't remember what the nurse had said, whether it was "sister" or "brother," or "older brother" or "younger sister."

As for who they resembled... he only glanced at them, not even seeing their faces clearly, only remembering that they were two small, wrinkled, red, and tiny things, no bigger than his palm.

Gu Hongying waited for a long time without getting an answer, so she gently nudged him with her elbow: "Big brother? Did you hear me?"

“Like me,” Gu Qingye suddenly said.

The two children are red and wrinkled, and look like little old men. They didn't inherit their mother's beauty at all. Will Youyou be unhappy when she sees them?
Rather, he resembles someone else!
If she's not good-looking, it must be because she inherited it from him, since there's not a single imperfect part of her mother's body!

"Really? That must be really good!" Gu Hongying's eyes lit up.

Even if you disregard the filter of him being her brother, there's still the filter of him being a war hero. Even if you disregard all of that, in terms of looks alone, Gu Qingye is second only to her biological father, Gu Bohuai, in her heart.

"What about the girl? She should look like your sister-in-law, right?" Gu Hongying asked impatiently.

Anyway, she had never seen a woman more beautiful than Lu Youyou. Just thinking about having a little niece who was like a fairy made her unable to control the smile on her face.

Not long after, Lu Youyou was wheeled out, and the two children were on the bed, one on each side.

Gu Qingye rushed to the bedside and saw that Lu Youyou had her eyes closed. His heart jumped into his throat.

"Doctor, what's wrong with her? She..."

He couldn't bring himself to ask the second half of the question. He gripped the bed railing so tightly that his fingertips were bloodless and all ten fingers were white. "Comrade Lu is asleep and hasn't woken up yet."

Gu Qingye vaguely heard a loud bang, the sound of his heart hitting the ground.

so far so good!
"Qingye, Youyou just fell asleep from exhaustion. It's alright, she can rest and recover."

Lin Nanxing finally managed to break through the "blockade" and squeeze in. Not only was Gu Qingye so nervous that he was incoherent, but Lu Zhiyu was almost the same, with beads of sweat sliding down his forehead.

Two grown men blocked her way, and she almost couldn't see her daughter's face!
Gu Bohuai was anxious, but he didn't want to compete with his parents for a spot. Fortunately, he was tall and could see the two sleeping babies from above.

Gu Hongying could only tiptoe and peek through any gaps, but unfortunately, everything in front, behind, left, and right was completely blocked, and she couldn't see anything except the corner of the blanket.

Lin Nanxing stayed behind to discuss the situation with the head of obstetrics.

"Don't worry, Dean Lin, the process went very smoothly. The wound is less than a centimeter long, and I stitched it up with two stitches. Everything else is fine. If Comrade Lu hadn't fallen asleep, he could have walked out on his own," the director said with a smile.

"That's good, thank you for your hard work." Lin Nanxing was relieved.

"No way! If every woman had a smooth delivery like Comrade Lu, I'd be laughing in my sleep every day!"

The head doctor wished every pregnant woman could have a natural birth, and that every family member would be so understanding. It was even rare to have twins. He felt that after delivering this baby, he would have good luck all day.

Gu Qingye followed by the bedside, keeping a close eye on his sleeping wife.

His face was pale, his forehead was still damp with sweat, and there were several patches of chapped skin on his lips...

He heard everything the doctor said; he had a wound down there and needed stitches!

In the past, he wouldn't even want to see Lu Youyou get a minor bump or bruise, but now that she's suffered so much, Gu Qingye would rather it was him who got pregnant and gave birth.

The single-room ward was quiet, and Lu Youyou didn't wake up even after being carried to the bed.

Lu Zhiyu went to handle the follow-up procedures, while Lin Nanxing and Zhou Sao, the nanny from the Lu family, went to make milk powder for the two children.

Gu Bohuai couldn't stare at his daughter-in-law, so he kept bending over to look at the child. Gu Hongying did the same, and the smile on her lips never stopped.

Gu Qingye sat on the edge of the bed, holding Lu Youyou's hand, his gaze lingering on her face, unwilling to look away.

He's a father now, they have a child!

Gu Qingye's eyes gradually welled up with tears, and even when he looked up, he couldn't stop them from flowing down his cheeks.

He never felt that children were a necessity in a relationship, and his thoughts have never changed from the first day he met Lu Youyou until now.

However, he accompanied Lu Youyou through every day of her pregnancy, experiencing her morning sickness, edema, inability to eat, and insomnia. It was as if the children were growing inside him at the same time.

Gu Qingye had never been so excited as he was now, unable to speak. The two children were like their witnesses, and he felt as if he could finally touch the tangible reality of their relationship.

Their love has extended to the next generation; they are forever inseparable!

Another tear fell, bouncing on the back of Lu Youyou's hand, its burning heat seeping into her senses through her skin...

Her eyelashes suddenly fluttered a few times, the curtain slowly rose, and the world was finally no longer black and white.

Gu Qingye's heart tightened suddenly. He immediately squatted down in front of the bed, reached out and stroked Lu Youyou's forehead, so gently as if afraid of frightening her.
