CHAPTER 442: CHAPTER 441: MRS. ZHEN GIVES BIRTH

The three friends had just sat down on the ground when Gu Qing walked over from not far away.

She looked down at the three of them from above and shouted, "Zhen Yu!"

Zhen Yu looked up at her in response, and the two sitting on either side of Zhen Yu also turned their gaze towards her.

Gu Qing initially wanted to stare at Zhen Yu, but her eyes involuntarily kept drifting towards Han Mingyue.

From a distance, she thought he was quite handsome, but up close, he was even more handsome!

Zhen Yu noticed Gu Qing’s gaze immediately, and the perceptive Han Mingyue noticed it too.

He frowned and was about to lower his head when Zhen Yu suddenly stood up!

"Is there something?" Zhen Yu was much taller than Gu Qing, and by stepping in front of her, Gu Qing could no longer see the two people behind Zhen Yu.

Gu Qing rolled her eyes slightly in frustration and said, "I just came to tell you! Your mom is about to give birth! Whether you go to see her or not is your choice!"

Zhen Yu’s expression turned cold! He quickly asked, "When did she go? Which hospital?"

Gu Qing said impatiently, "She went early this morning! The Second Hospital!"

Her feelings at the moment were complex, she really didn’t want to talk to Zhen Yu! But she also didn’t feel like leaving.

To which Zhen Yu responded with a stern face, "I got it, you can go now!"

Gu Qing didn’t want to leave, and was angered by how Zhen Yu treated her! So she started to bad-mouth, "How can you be so heartless! Your own mother is giving birth and you won’t even go to see her?"

Zhen Yu snapped back! "Aren’t you the same? Your own brother is being born and you’re not even in the hospital!"

Gu Qing retorted defiantly, "But he’s your brother too!"

"Not so! Don’t falsely claim relationships! I only have one brother in my entire life!"

"You!" Gu Qing was so angered by Zhen Yu’s words that she almost fell backwards! Eventually, she couldn’t hold back anymore! Turning on her heel to leave, she didn’t forget to spite Zhen Yu, "Hmph! I will tell your mom what you said!"

But Zhen Yu was unmoved, "Thanks! It’s good for her to give up hope sooner!"

Gu Qing was completely out of options with Zhen Yu! Furious, her ample features swelled even more as she clenched her teeth and left!

As soon as she left, Zhen Yu fell silent.

Han Mingyue almost immediately stood up! He turned his back to the crowd, using his body to shield Zhen Yu whose fists were clenched tightly.

Bai Xue also quickly stood up, standing on the side of the two, facing outwards.

Han Mingyue gently and firmly unclenched Zhen Yu’s fingers one by one and held her hand, lowering his voice, "Xiao Yu, Zhen Yan has to attend class! Let me accompany you to see Aunt Cheng!"

Zhen Yu came out of the ’ready to fight’ mood and shook her head slowly.

"It might not be easy to get leave during military training! I’ll go by myself!"

Han Mingyue pondered for a moment, "Alright! But if you don’t come back after school tonight, I’ll come find you!"

Thinking it might be possible since they probably wouldn’t have evening self-study during military training, Zhen Yu nodded silently.

Han Mingyue was about to say a few more words when Bai Xue suddenly turned around and said, "It seems they are calling us to gather!"

Zhen Yan and Han Mingyue both looked in the distance, and indeed! The instructors were all there!

"Let’s hurry!" Without even bothering to let go, Zhen Yu started to run forward.

Still, Han Mingyue quickly pulled her back and reminded her, "Xiao Yu, let go of my hand first!"

"Oh!"

——

Just as Zhen Yu had said, it was extremely difficult to request leave during military training!

At first, she did not want to disclose the real reason and almost got categorized by the instructor as a typical case of evading training! Left with no choice, Zhen Yu had to honestly reveal her relationship with Gu Qing and let the instructor verify it in person.

Although Gu Qing was reluctant, in the end, he reluctantly admitted it.

It wasn’t because of the school or the instructor!

The reason Gu Qing had to admit was that he feared if Zhen Yu truly couldn’t get the leave, she would complain to Mrs. Zhen!

Then Mrs. Zhen would find out it was because of Gu Qing that Zhen Yu couldn’t go to the hospital while she was giving birth, which would bring another lawsuit into the Gu family! Why bother...

Gu’s father had cautioned her, not to let people with the surname Cheng drift away from the Gu Family!

Zhen Yu didn’t know about all the twists and turns in Gu Qing’s heart! She merely felt that even if Gu Qing lied, the instructor would certainly be able to tell! That’s why even if she inadvertently proved herself wrong, she could still get the leave!

When she took the leave slip and walked out, Grandpa Wang at the gate still asked her a question! Yet Zhen Yu only answered that she had some matters to attend to.

The maternity waiting room in the second hospital was bustling like a marketplace. After catching a nurse and inquiring, Zhen Yu found out that Mrs. Zhen had already entered the delivery room!

Had she gone in, what about Mr. Gu?

With such doubts, Zhen Yu started searching this floor, eventually finding Mr. Gu just as he was coming out from smoking a cigarette at the men’s restroom door.

"!" Mr. Gu was stunned at first and then gave a fake smile, "Came to see your mom, huh! She hasn’t given birth yet!"

Zhen Yu glanced at Mr. Gu’s empty hands and asked, "You came like this?"

Although she had never been in contact with pregnant women nor stayed in a hospital, at the very least, a newborn couldn’t just be left bare, right?

"Ah? No! Your mom has everything prepared, the stuff is now in the ward!"

——

After all, Mrs. Zhen had given birth to both a boy and a girl before, so this time she still had a natural birth.

It’s just that her natural birthing process took a bit long!

But Zhen Yu didn’t know any of this gynecological knowledge, and she had also heard colleagues in her previous life talk about labor lasting a day and a night, so she thought waiting that long was quite normal.

Mrs. Zhen gave birth to a boy weighing seven and a half pounds, which made Mr. Gu so happy that he was beside himself with joy! From the moment he saw the child, he couldn’t stop circling around the baby.

Since it was a natural birth, Mrs. Zhen remained fully conscious from the delivery room to the ward. Zhen Yu could see that giving a son to the Gu family also brought her mother much satisfaction.

Since there was still some time before dinner, Zhen Yu wanted to stay beside her mother’s bed for a bit longer before leaving.

Mother and daughter chatted on and off, with Mrs. Zhen especially inquiring about her daughter’s haircut being so short, saying she didn’t like her current tomboy look!

Zhen Yu helplessly told her mother, it was the school’s new regulation! Mrs. Zhen couldn’t say much after that.

Zhen Yu occasionally asked her mother if she wanted some water or anything.

Mrs. Zhen didn’t want to drink water, but she felt uncomfortable bluntly telling her daughter the reason, so she made an excuse of not being thirsty.

She had been wanting to go to the bathroom since returning to the ward but couldn’t urinate after trying twice, so she was currently feeling very uncomfortable.

After bearing with it a bit longer but still feeling unable to endure, Mrs. Zhen proposed for the third time that she needed to go to the restroom.

Mr. Gu, after hearing that, still only responded casually without even lifting his eyelids from his precious son.
