Chapter 0005: Visiting the Baby Girl

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Nurse Wang picked up the baby girl, cradling her in one arm while holding a blanket, and with the other hand, she offered a bottle for the little girl to drink milk

Yang Yan did not provide much explanation; he simply smiled and said, "I might as well go take a look, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

How many meals does she have? It's hard to say. Generally speaking, she is fed every three hours, but basically, if she is hungry, she needs to be given milk. Nurse Wang continued her work without stopping, answering slowly.

Although unable to move, whether it is her soft little hands or her limp neck, the infant girl is still diligently drinking milk. Just look at her earnest expression while drinking; it is simple and pure. Yang Yan feels that this is the most beautiful scene in the world

That is good! Yang Yan revealed a smile, lowering his head as his gaze fell upon the little one sleeping in the small bed.

The child's physical condition is better than we imagined. When you brought her in this morning, she was indeed very weak, but she has recovered quickly. Dr. Peng even said it was miraculous; by noon, she was no longer running a fever. Rest assured, we have been monitoring her closely. The nurse opened the medical record hanging at the head of the baby's small bed and recalled the conversation during the shift handover, smiling as she quietly spoke to Yang Yan.

"Why not give it a try? Who is born knowing how to feed a baby?" Nurse Wang said with a smile

Interestingly, at this moment, the cries of the little girl had diminished significantly; she merely opened her round, bright eyes, watching the arm of Nurse Wang as it reached out, while softly humming.

Hmm? Yang Yan blinked in confusion, but when he looked again, the little infant was simply lying quietly on the small hospital bed, probably both hungry and craving, her tiny mouth sucking on the little pinky finger that was closer to her face

This is so troublesome! Yang Yan is truly surprised to learn about this for the first time, with a look of astonishment on his face

Nurse Wang looked up and smiled at Yang Yan, but she did not respond immediately. Instead, she gently lifted the blanket covering the baby and then carefully adjusted the diaper wrapped around the little girl's bottom to take a look.

I cannot either; we need to review the course materials tonight, as we have to write the proposal for our graduation thesis!" Jiang Yuan quickly added

Sister Wang, Sister Wang!" Yang Yan hurriedly waved his hand and whispered to Nurse Wang, "Do not mention this matter in front of the child.

"Is it because she is a girl?" Yang Yan thought indignantly

"Yan Zi, let's go!" Lei Zhentian, who was picking his teeth, followed from behind, reaching out with his empty left hand to pat Yang Yan's shoulder, and said with a smile, "I just told A Biao and the others that we can start gaming once everyone is here."

... ...

Yang Yan, who was standing beside, felt very awkward. He explained in a low voice, "Sister Wang, I didn't touch the child!"

Therefore, only Fang Hexu needs to be busy looking for a job

After Yang Yan stated his arrangements, Lei Zhentian remained silent on the side. It was not because he was angry at Yang Yan for forgetting the "child"; given the relationship between him and Yang Yan, if there were any grievances, they would certainly be addressed openly.

But Yang Yan turned to look at the little baby girl sleeping in the small hospital bed, and for some reason, it seemed to him that he saw an indescribable sadness in her round, glistening eyes, which resembled black gemstones

Is she no longer running a fever? Did you take her temperature in the evening? Yang Yan, feeling a bit uneasy, inquired with the nurse on duty

Nurse Wang walked towards the crib where the baby girl was, holding a bottle and squeezing a bit on her wrist to check the temperature. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks and exclaimed, "I forgot, this is not your child; you are just the kind-hearted person who brought her here this morning with that police officer! Alas, I wonder who it was that abandoned such a lovely child..."

Yang Yan fell silent

"Would you like to give it a try?" Nurse Wang, noticing how engrossed Yang Yan was, also thought about the "relationship" between Yang Yan and the infant girl. She felt a stir in her heart and thus inquired.

Look at that small nose and small mouth, delicate and exquisite, both cute and refined. Although it is difficult to discern that she is a girl at first glance, her frail appearance, along with the skin on her face that is as thin as a cicada's wing and as fragile as a blown bubble, always evokes a desire to cherish and protect her

In Dormitory 506, among them, the wealthiest is undoubtedly Lei Zhentian, who does not need to worry about job prospects after graduation. Of course, Yang Yan and Jiang Yuan do not need to worry either, but their situation is unrelated to their family's financial status. The two of them excelled academically and passed the graduate school entrance examination early, so after finishing their senior year, they will continue their studies at Nanyue University. Of course, Yang Yan and Jiang Yuan do not need to worry either, but their situation is unrelated to their family's financial status.

"Do you think so? Being a mother is quite challenging!" Nurse Wang casually remarked

"How could anyone bear to abandon you?" Yang Yan has even begun to speak up for her

Beside him, Fang Hexu raised his hand to check the time, shook his head, and said: "Old Lei, I can't make it tonight; I still need to go to the library later to work on my resume and the *book*."

"Rest assured, the child just woke up hungry." Nurse Wang, seeing that it was not a case of needing to use the bathroom, covered the baby with a small blanket, gently patted her little belly, then withdrew her hand. She smiled and explained to Yang Yan, "Did you not buy formula for the child? I will prepare a little for her to drink."

Indeed, there is no reason!

Fang Hexu, unconcerned, smiled and said: "Old Lei, can you blame me for dropping the ball? My family is not like yours, with a mine!"

"It must have been a mistake; how could such a small child possibly express their emotions?" Yang Yan gently shook his head, feeling too embarrassed to mention his earlier discovery, lest Nurse Wang mock his ignorance.

"What are you going to the hospital for?" Jiang Yuan asked in confusion

"Oh, the child that Yanzi mentioned this afternoon!" Jiang Yuan exclaimed, realizing it only later, "She is quite pitiful, having been abandoned by her parents at such a young age"

Just when Yang Yan was pondering and could not find an answer, the little girl in front of him suddenly kicked her small feet and began to cry, "Ah, hum hum"

"Then how many meals does she need to eat in a day?" Yang Yan asked in surprise

Nurse Wang smiled gently and explained, "You really are... newborns eat little but frequently; don't you know such common knowledge? We adults are satisfied with three meals a day, but children cannot do that!"

The Third Affiliated Hospital of Nanyue University is only a few subway stations away from Nanyue University. When Yang Yan arrived at the hospital, it was already nearly eight o'clock in the evening

Ah? Yang Yan was taken aback, as it seemed he hadn't done anything at all

"Are you hungry? Didn't she eat anything last night?" Yang Yan asked curiously, following Nurse Wang who was going to prepare the formula.

Yang Yan smiled and said, "Yes, I still feel a bit uneasy. She had a fever of 39 degrees in the morning. Although she is much better now, I don't know how she is doing at the moment."

Of course, Fang Hexu's family background is also quite good. He is from Guangdong Province and his family has some primitive accumulation of wealth, which is somewhat better than Jiang Yuan, whose parents are ordinary employees in a small state-owned enterprise in a county in western Shaanxi.

Having strayed a bit off topic, Yang Yan, who has always been a loyal supporter of Lei Zhentian in gaming, today showed a lack of enthusiasm towards Lei Zhentian's proposal. After hesitating for a moment, he called out to Lei Zhentian: "Old Lei, I won't be going up for now. You and A Biao can play; I need to make a trip to the hospital"

Lei Zhentian reacted relatively quickly; he slightly furrowed his brows and said, "Yanzi, are you going to see that child?"

Although such a small child cannot yet be judged as beautiful or not, at least their features are well-proportioned, and they are certainly not an ugly child! Moreover, according to the doctor's examination, the child has sound limbs, normal vision and hearing, and can cry loudly, indicating that there should be no hereditary diseases. How could anyone want to abandon such a "complete" child?

The child has woken up? At this moment, the nurse, who was conducting routine checks on other children, walked over upon hearing the sound

However, until Yang Yan turned to leave, Lei Zhentian remained silent... He merely gazed at Yang Yan's silhouette, thoughtfully stroking his chin.

Nurse Wang looked at him as if he were a fool, and she laughed, saying: "What does it matter? The child hasn't even turned one month old yet, are you still worried that she might overhear?"

Similar to during the day, the infant girl was still tightly wrapped in a small blanket, with only her little face exposed. However, it appeared that her physical condition had improved significantly compared to the daytime. Not only had her pale little lips regained a rosy hue, but even her thin little face seemed to have developed a bit of chubbiness.

The nightfall once again descended upon Yangcheng. At the entrance of the second dormitory building of South Guangdong University, Yang Yan paused his steps at the gate, his expression somewhat hesitant

Ah? Yang Yan's expression suddenly became flustered, "Me? I can't do it at all, isn't that inappropriate?"

As for her eyes, such a small child, whose vision has not yet fully developed, Yang Yan could no longer find that so-called sadness; all that remained was a sense of bewilderment towards the surrounding environment

Fang Hexu said in confusion: "Why are you going to see her? Didn't Officer Xia say that she would help find the child's parents? Moreover, you have no relation to this child, is it really necessary for you to accompany and fuss over this?"

Yang Yan, feeling concerned and flustered, scratched his head and smiled a bit awkwardly, saying: "Well, that's true..."

But it is really so small... Yang Yan couldn't help but exclaim in his mind

However, this individual is somewhat ambitious. During late-night chats with a few dormitory friends, he mentioned his desire to become a big boss. Therefore, he did not consider pursuing a master's degree; he intends to work for a large company right after completing his undergraduate studies. The resumes he submitted were all to major corporations, and he applied for positions such as management trainees. Fang Hexu plans to hone his skills in a large enterprise for a few years, and after gaining sufficient social experience and connections, he aims to start his own business.

Lei Zhentian hummed with satisfaction and said, "I knew you two would mess up. I had already calculated it; there are three people in A Biao's dormitory, plus me and Yan Zi, just perfect!"
