The Little Brat’s Sweet And Sassy

1231 Side Story 10: Very Similar

In the Capital, the autumn air was cool and the sky was clear.

A top private hospital had been booked over half a month ago, and security was quite strict.

The Gu family had already arrived in the Capital in advance and took turns to visit her every day.

In the late stage of her pregnancy, it had not been convenient for Shen Li to move around, so Lu Huaiyu had personally taken care of her and accompanied her all day.

!!

Shen Zhijin also came every day. Sometimes, he would bring a small gift. Sometimes, he would have a meal with her. However, he did not stay for long.

However, Shen Li knew that Shen Zhijin was the same as Lu Huaiyu. He had declined all recent jobs.

This had included two extremely important international astrophysics conferences and a few large-scale projects.

He had not mentioned this to Shen Li, and behaved as if everything was as usual. However, she continued to keep in contact with Yan Qiu and the others, so it was not difficult for her to know this.

However, since he did not say anything, Shen Li did not take the initiative to ask.

As time passed, the expected date of delivery got closer and closer. She could clearly feel that Shen Zhijin seemed to have become a string that was getting more and more tense.

She had never seen Shen Zhijin so nervous before.

…

September 20th was the day that Lu Suisui and Lu Guoguo were born.

Lu Suisui took the lead by five minutes and successfully took over the role of the elder brother.

The delivery room was already surrounded by people, with only Lu Huaiyu accompanying her inside.

The doctor carried the two dumplings that had been washed and wrapped, and placed them beside Shen Li.

“Congratulations, Miss Ah Li and Second Master. Mother and children are all safe.”

The doctor smiled and said, “The young master and young miss are both very beautiful!”

Shen Li turned her head to look at the two wrinkly, red little faces and fell silent for a moment.

“…”

Lu Huaiyu helped her wipe the sweat off her forehead and tidied her hair. His soft and slightly cold lips landed between her brows, and their fingers intertwined.

“Ah Li.”

He called out her name in a low voice, wanting to say something, but when the words reached his throat, he suddenly did not know how to start.

His kiss was very light, but the touch of his hand was quite strong, as if he wanted to merge her into his bones and blood.

It was as if… he was afraid of losing her.

She did not know if it was an illusion, but she felt that his hand was particularly cold.

She lifted her head slightly and kissed him.

The warmth spread to his whole body, and he finally came back to his senses. He turned his head to look at the two little bundles.

After staring at them for a few seconds, he chuckled and said, “They are very beautiful.”

Shen Li looked dubious.

As if he could read her mind, Lu Huaiyu smiled and said, “I’m sure everyone will think so. The minority is subordinate to the majority.”

Shen Li looked at the two little bundles again, before gently tapping their faces with her finger.

“They’re so soft.”

She had finally found a suitable evaluation.

After being touched by her, the two little bundles actually opened their eyes in a daze and looked over in confusion.

Shen Li blinked her eyes, as she felt as if her heart had been jabbed by something.

Lu Huaiyu’s thin lips curled up slightly.

“Now, do you think they’re beautiful?”

…

The door to the delivery room was finally opened.

All the people waiting outside immediately gathered around.

“Ah Li?”

“Ah Li, are you tired?”

“Ah Li–”

The doctor who was instantly blocked was also stunned by the situation and quickly said, “Don’t worry, Miss Ah Li is in good health. Both brother and sister are also very healthy.”

It was only when she spoke that everyone remembered that there were two other little ones.

“Brother and sister?”

Looking at Shen Li, who was already surrounded, and being bombarded by all kinds of inquiries, even the doctor began to feel a headache coming on

However, someone else spoke first.

“Ah Li is a little tired, let her rest first.”

The person who had spoken was Lu Huaiyu.

These words finally brought everyone back to their senses. They all stepped aside and escorted Shen Li back to the VIP ward.

…

After finally settling down, Shen Li reclined on the bed.

...

Although she looked a little pale, she was still in good spirits.

Several pairs of eyes then fell on the two little bundles beside her.

One was pink while the other was blue.

“Ah Li, you must be tired, right? It’s good that you’re safe! It’s good that you’re safe!”

Old Master Lu hurriedly went forward, his heart almost melting.

“And Guoguo…”

Before he could touch the pink bundle, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a Tang suit.

Old Master Gu finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“Let Ah Li have a good rest first. Also, Guoguo–”

He paused.

The two of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere was delicate.

...

Shen Li’s line of sight shifted slightly and she looked at Shen Zhijin, who was standing at the door.

Everyone was by her side, wishing they could get even closer to her.

He was the only one who had not stepped forward, choosing to watch from afar.

She called out, “Dad.”

The room was silent for a moment.

Shen Zhijin raised his eyes and looked at her. On his elegant and clean face, there was a moment when he seemed to be at a loss.

His hands slowly clenched by his sides. Even his heart felt like it was being pressed down by something, making it hard for him to breathe.

Old Madam Gu looked at him, with slightly red eyes. She waved at him and said in a gentle voice, “Zhijin.”

He then walked over and finally stood beside Shen Li.

“Tangtang.”

He looked as if he wanted to say something, but his throat tensed up.

Shen Li’s eyes curved into crescents.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. Don’t you think Suisui and Guoguo look like me?”

Suisui and Guoguo.

He was stunned, and his gaze finally fell on the two little bundles. beside her.

Although they had both only just been born and had wrinkly and red faces, one could still tell the difference between the boy and the girl.

Shen Zhijin’s gaze stayed on Guoguo’s face for a few seconds longer.

After all, girls should be more like their mothers.

After a long while, he said in a soft voice, “I… don’t know.”

He had never seen Tangtang’s appearance when she was born.

The first time he had seen her was at the lakeside of Xijing University.

In the past, she had been an untouchable blank to him.

So, he did not know.

Shen Li was stunned for a moment.

Old Madam Gu laughed for a while before she smiled and said, “How can it not be so?” 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

Suisui opened his eyes again. This time, he was looking at Shen Zhijin.

The vision of a newborn baby was very blurry, so this “look” was not a true “look”, but more like a kind of perception.

He snorted a few times, but ultimately, seemed to have disturbed Guoguo, who was beside him.

“Waa-!”

Guoguo started crying.

Shen Zhijin’s heart tightened and he immediately reached out to hug her.

At that moment, Guoguo suddenly stretched out her small hand and unconsciously grabbed his finger. After that, the sound of her crying gradually became softer.

Shen Zhijin’s eyelid drooped slightly. He stopped moving for a while before he gently tucked her in.

Only then did Guoguo obediently close her eyes. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

Seeing that there was no possibility of him holding Guoguo, Lu Zheng said, “Huaiyu, let’s not disturb Guoguo. Let’s take a look at Suisui.”

Lu Huaiyu replied with an “hmm” and went to carry the other blue bundle that was snuggling up to Shen Li.

Sensing something, Lu Suisui finally looked over and made eye contact with his father.

A moment later.

“Waa–!”
