578: Chapter 578 Zuo Enyu 578: Chapter 578 Zuo Enyu “The baby is born, a big healthy boy, and both mother and child are safe; it’s really too wonderful!” Mo Xiaoqing was also shocked, staring blankly for a while before breaking into a joyful smile.
This was her first time experiencing such a thing, witnessing the birth of a living infant, welcoming a new life.
It’s a very magical feeling, as if it subtly gives you many things.
All women have an innate maternal love, and Mo Xiaoqing was no longer young and was at the age to consider marriage.
Witnessing the birth of a child had also deeply stirred her maternal instincts, and she even started thinking how great it would be to have a baby of her own.
As she thought about this, Mo Xiaoqing’s gaze couldn’t help but turn towards Tangyu.
Tangyu was still busy cleaning the little baby; looking at his earnest, meticulous face, Mo Xiaoqing felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.
She mocked herself, knowing that even if she wanted a baby, who could have one with her?
She had finally developed feelings for someone, but sadly, he was already taken.
The greatest tragedy in the world is probably no greater than this.
After the birth, Mrs.
Zuo, Zuo Shao’s wife, felt much more comfortable.
Although she was sweaty and her hair was in disarray, her face was filled with joyful happiness.
No matter how hard or painful, it was all worth it for the sake of her baby.
Zuo Shao was also incredibly excited, so happy he didn’t know what to do and stood there with a silly grin, holding onto his wife’s hand tightly.
Their baby had come into the world more than a month earlier than expected, which was indeed a bit of a surprise.
“Xiaoqing, go get some more hot water, we need to give the baby a bath.
Mr.
Zuo, slow down with your excitement and hurry to get some clothes for the baby to wear,” said Doctor Tang.’
Mo Xiaoqing immediately snapped back to reality and ran to fetch water, while Zuo Shao suddenly slapped his forehead: “Oh no, we haven’t bought clothes for the baby yet, we thought it wouldn’t be so soon and planned to buy them a month in advance, what should we do now?”
“The weather isn’t cold now, just find something to wrap him up for now,” said Doctor Tang.
“Alright, alright,” Zuo Shao quickly began searching.
Mrs.
Zuo also struggled to prop up her upper body and turned her gaze towards the baby, her pale face filled with a blissful smile: “Doctor Tang, I really don’t know how to thank you, you saved both me and my child; otherwise, I’m afraid my baby might not have been able to come into this world.
You are our family’s lifesaver, and we will be grateful to you for the rest of our lives.”
Doctor Tang shook his head and smiled: “Mrs.
Zuo, you are too kind.
Mr.
Zuo is my colleague, and besides, I am the school doctor, this is part of my job.
I haven’t congratulated you yet, look at how adorable your little blessing is, he has even opened his eyes and is playing.”
“This isn’t just politeness, my baby’s life was saved by you, Doctor Tang,” Mrs.
Zuo insisted firmly.
At that moment, Zuo Shao came over with a small blanket: “Doctor Tang, will this do?”
“Yes, that will do, congratulations Mr.
Zuo,” said Doctor Tang.
Zuo Shao immediately grinned from ear to ear: “Hehe, thank you, Doctor Tang.
You are our family’s great benefactor, we will never forget your kindness.”
There it was again, Doctor Tang just shook his head, let it be.
Looking at the adorable baby in his hands, Doctor Tang smiled with joy; this was also his first time delivering a baby.
Although he had saved lives before, saving the life of a little baby was a whole new experience, and it felt different from saving anyone else.
“Mr.
Zuo, you should get some water to help your wife clean down there.
Let Mo Xiaoqing and I take care of the baby for a while,” Doctor Tang said.
“Alright, alright,” Zuo Shao immediately went to work.
Doctor Tang and Mo Xiaoqing started giving the baby a bath, both of them handling the tiny little one very carefully, afraid to hurt him.
It was awkward, yet filled with joy.
“So adorable, absolutely adorable.
Look at this little guy, with his bright and lively eyes, and he’s so well-behaved, not crying or fussing,” said Mo Xiaoqing as she washed.
Doctor Tang laughed: “And there’s his little wiener, make sure to wash that area clean; there are still lots of bloodstains.”
Mo Xiaoqing’s voice came to an abrupt halt, her face turning a shade of red as she started washing the baby’s little wiener.
The feeling was quite strange for Mo Xiaoqing; even though he was just a little guy, it was still a man’s part, just a matter of size.
“What’s there to feel embarrassed about?
You’ll need to do this when you have your own baby,” said Doctor Tang with a smile.
Mo Xiaoqing looked up at Doctor Tang and then lowered her head again: “My ‘him’ doesn’t even know where I am, it’s something for the distant future.” As she spoke, Mo Xiaoqing felt inexplicably sad and lost.
Doctor Tang was momentarily taken aback.
He was no fool and could sense Mo Xiaoqing’s feelings for him.
However, he didn’t know how to address this delicate situation.
After all, he had a girlfriend, and he couldn’t just go to Mo Xiaoqing and say, “Be my second girlfriend, Lin Feifei is the main one, and you’ll be the secondary.” That would be like outright advocating for a mistress, which was a proposition Doctor Tang found himself in a dilemma over.
He didn’t want to hurt anyone, but feared that saying anything might cause deep wounds.
Love sometimes brings overwhelming happiness and at other times, daunting dilemmas, like a double-edged sword.
After busying themselves for over ten minutes, they finished bathing the baby and wrapped him in the blanket.
Mo Xiaoqing held the baby and carried him over.
“Miss Mo, quickly hand the baby to me,” Mrs.
Zuo could hardly wait any longer.
Mo Xiaoqing quickly passed the baby to Mrs.
Zuo: “Congratulations to you, you have been blessed with a precious son.”
“Thank you, thank you so much.
It’s really thanks to you and Doctor Tang that we have our baby,” Mrs.
Zuo said gratefully.
“Please don’t say that; I just assisted, I didn’t do much,” Mo Xiaoqing immediately waved her hand and said.
Doctor Tang said: “Mr.
Zuo, there are many teachers waiting outside, you can go open the door now.”
Zuo Shao slapped his forehead and nodded with a smile: “Right, right, I almost forgot about that.” He then quickly ran off to open the door, and as soon as he did, several figures rushed in: “Finally the door’s open.
We’ve heard the baby’s cries from outside and were anxious to death, let me have a quick look to see if it’s a boy or what.”
Quite a few teachers had come, almost a dozen or so, crowding in.
Zuo Shao was busy greeting everyone.
“Doctor Tang, you truly deserve the title of Divine Doctor, even tackling childbirth with such ease; I’m completely convinced.”
“Haha, right?
Maybe Doctor Tang has always had a thing for gynecology.
I always felt like Doctor Tang had more expertise in that area.”
“You’re all just plain jealous, but honestly, I’m jealous too.
Doctor Tang, do you think there’s still a chance for me to switch specializations?”
Everyone joked and laughed, and Tangyu responded with a smile to each one, treating others with as much respect as they showed him.
Actually, Tangyu preferred this relaxed atmosphere; he disliked things being too tense.
A bit of casualness was nice.
“Teacher Zuo, this is truly a blessing from the heavens.
Who would have thought the baby would arrive over a month early?
Haha, it must have caught you off guard, with nothing prepared.
By the way, have you thought of a name yet?
If not, we can help you brainstorm.”
“Exactly, we have several Language Arts teachers here, all masters at naming.”
Zuo Shao smiled and said, “No need to trouble everyone with the naming, I’ve already decided.
His name will be Zuo Enyu.”
“Zuo Enyu, the Zuo family expressing gratitude to Tangyu, haha, that’s clever and quite nice-sounding.”
“Uh…” Tangyu was momentarily speechless.
Teacher Zuo had actually chosen this name for his son to thank him, which left Tangyu unsure of what to say.
“Zuo Enyu, sounds good.
From now on, son, your name will be Zuo Enyu,” Mrs.
Zuo agreed to the name as well.
Mo Xiaoqing suddenly said, “Teacher Zuo, why don’t you go greet everyone?
I’ll go buy the baby items.
The baby will probably be hungry soon, so we need to hurry and get formula, bottles, and things like nappies; they are urgently needed.”
“This is really too kind—” Zuo Shao was both grateful and a bit embarrassed.
“Why are you being so formal, Teacher Zuo?
You’ve always looked after me.
I have no classes this afternoon, and I know there’s a baby store not far from the school, so it’s no trouble,” said Mo Xiaoqing.
“Well, alright then, Teacher Mo, I truly appreciate it.
Let me give you some money,” Zuo Shao said with gratitude.
Tangyu didn’t want to stay any longer, to avoid being surrounded by endless words of thanks.
He said, “Xiaoqing, I’ll come with you.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to carry all the items by yourself.” With that, the two of them quickly left.
Outside, they found quite a crowd of students; clearly, the news about Teacher Zuo’s wife giving birth had spread.
Perhaps some students from Teacher Zuo’s class had gathered.
“What are you all doing here?
Shouldn’t you be in class?” Mo Xiaoqing said to the students, but clearly, she lacked authority, and her words seemed to have no effect on the students who continued to ignore her.
“There’s no class, Teacher Mo; it’s P.E.
time.
Teacher Mo, did Teacher Zuo’s wife have the baby?”
“Yes, she had a boy.
Even if it’s P.E., you should go to class.
Go on, and there will be time to see the baby later,” Mo Xiaoqing said.
Only then did the students reluctantly head to class, and Mo Xiaoqing smiled and shook her head, finding the students sometimes quite adorable.
“Tangyu, do you really want to go with me?” Mo Xiaoqing suddenly turned to ask.
“Yes, is there a problem?” Tangyu replied.
Mo Xiaoqing nodded and said, “Of course, there’s a problem.
Things are different for you now; you’re a celebrity.
If you go out like this, people will surround you like you’re a giant panda.
How will we buy anything then?”
Tangyu frowned, pulled out a pair of sunglasses and a face mask from his pocket, and put them on, then looked at Mo Xiaoqing and asked, “What about now?”
Mo Xiaoqing was taken aback, blinked, and couldn’t help but laugh, “It looks like you came prepared.
This is much better; you can hardly be recognized.
Of course, I’d recognize you, but those who haven’t seen you before probably couldn’t.”
“Can’t help it; how else am I supposed to get out of the house?
Sigh, the plight of being famous.
To have to cover up this handsome face with sunglasses and a mask, it’s just cruel,” Tangyu said, shaking his head.
“…”
“Xiaoqing, you seem to really like kids,” Tangyu remarked.
Mo Xiaoqing pursed her lips and said, “I do like them.
But this time, it feels very special, very different.
Welcoming a new life is truly wonderful.
I’m still so excited, just thinking about it makes me want to laugh.”
“You’re this excited; when you have your own, won’t you just die of excitement?” Tangyu commented.
“…”
