Stealing Your Heart

Cheng Yuxiu was taken to the delivery room.

Zong Qifeng paced back and forth in front of the door and stole a few glances inside, but all he could hear were Cheng Yuxiu’s painful cries.

Wen Xian walked over. “Don’t worry too much.”

Zong Qifeng turned around and looked at her, unable to speak for a long moment.

He longed for a good smoke to take his mind off things, but the posters on the wall telling him that smoking was prohibited forced him to suppress the urge.

The suffering continued for seven hours. Being a first-time mother, it took a much longer time for Cheng Yuxiu’s cervix to dilate.

“Ahhh!”

Suddenly, a loud scream pierced through the air, followed by the cries of a newborn baby.

Zong Qifeng’s eyes lit up. “Is she done?”

Wen Xian heaved a huge sigh of relief. “I guess so.”

After a while, the door to the delivery room opened, and a nurse came out with a baby in her arms. “The child has been delivered successfully at 7.20 A.M. on 21st December. He’s a boy weighing at 2.8kg.”

Zong Qifeng had been looking forward to this moment, but when it came, he didn’t know how to react. Instead, he stood rooted to the ground.

Wen Xian came forward to take the child from the nurse’s arms. “Thank you.”

“This is our duty. The mother will be coming out soon,” the nurse said, before returning to the delivery room and closing the door behind her.

Wen Xian looked at the baby in her arms, her face filled with love. He was tiny, almost fragile-looking.

It was her first time holding a baby, hence she was very careful with it and it felt amazing. She walked over to Zong Qifeng. “Look, it’s your baby.”

It was still too early to tell who the child resembles, but he had a full head of bushy, black hair.

Zong Qifeng looked down, his face taut and his hands shaking from excitement. “Give him to me.”
