When Tong Yan woke up, Xu Xinduo immediately held the child to show him, âThey said the child looks like me.â
Tong Yan glanced weakly and saw that the child had already opened his eyes. He saw that the child had sanpaku eyes(1) and sighed, âYour familyâs eyes are reallyâ¦â
(T/N: Refers to the type of eyes that still has some white space either above or below the irises.)
âWhat about it?â
âNice!â
Tong Yanâs principles were always bizarre.
He was willing to help Xu Xinduo have a baby, but he couldnât help her through postpartum confinement. He said that it was a problem with his principles.
Funny how he himself was not clear with what specific principle it was either.
Xu Xinduo was confined in the confinement centre. The child slept separately from her and was taken care of by a special child-raising nanny
For Xu Xinduo, the child was like a playmate to her. When the kid was bored, they brought him to her, letting the mother and son play for a while. Besides breastfeeding, there was nothing else to do.
She also had special personnel to help take care of her whilst needing to do some rehabilitation exercises. This life was not too uncomfortable, but Tong Yan couldnât stand it.
He couldnât even stand it for a day.
Tong Yan sat beside the bed and calmly helped Xu Xinduo peel some apples, still trying to explain, âI think that I am a free birdâa cage canât hold me because I want to soar.â
âMmhm, did you just memorise your example essays?â Xu Xinduo raised her eyebrows and asked him.
âThat doesnât count, I just didnât want to be bored here. But if you ever want to change to eat something, Iâm okay with that.â
âI want to go out for a run.â
âDonât. Heal up nicely, be good.â
Later Xu Xinduo found out that Tong Yan would deliberately avoid her breastfeeding time. After breastfeeding, she walked over and asked Tong Yan, âWhatâs wrong? Are you jealous when I breastfeed the child?â
Tong Yanâs face was wrinkled for a moment and he snorted softly.
Xu Xinduo continued to ask, âPerhaps, you donât want to breastfeed the child?â
Tong Yan looked sideways at Xu Xinduo. He hesitated for a while and said, âA bit of everything. Also, I donât want to notice your belly now that itâs loose. I feel terrible looking at it, and Iâm worried that I will despise the kid even more.â
After all, Xu Xinduo used to be a model.
She had her own company now, so she didnât have to model anymore. But she wouldnât be completely happy to have her figure ruined, would she?
âI like him very much because he is the child of the two of us. He is really cuteâ donât you think itâs sort of healing when he smiles at you?â
Tong Yan sighed and hugged Xu Xinduo, âI only like youâ¦â
âAlright, be good. Iâll go through this confinement myself, so hurry and adapt to being a father.â
They named the child Youxin.
Tong Youxin, which was a homonym(2).
(T/N: The name could also be translated as âTong has Xinâ, which is a short form of âTong Yan has Xu Xinduoâ)
Tong Yan was also a responsible enough father. After getting off from work, he would come to see Tong Youxin. Every day, he stretched out a finger to play with his child and taught him words, âSay âmommyâ.â
Tong Youxin hadnât really been in this world for a long time, but he just grinned and looked like he had a good personality.
Tong Yan watched for a while and couldnât help laughing, âYour mother and your uncle donât like to laugh, but surprisingly, you do.â
As Tong Youxin grew up day by day, he would exclaim every time he saw Tong Yan visit after work and rush to him.
Tong Yan would also crouch down and pick up Tong Youxin at this time. Then, the father-son duo would play together.
At first, Tong Yan was not used to having an extra family member at home, but he gradually enjoyed it later on.
The more he saw his child, the more he adored him.
After all, it was his biological son and the child really looked like Xu Xinduo.
Of course, there were times when Tong Yan couldnât accept itâ¦
Tong Yan would always remember that when he returned home and saw the family of fourâ Mo Yinxun, Xu Xinduo, Mu Qingyi and his son looking at him at the same time, he would always see their familyâs sanpaku eyes. There were no evil intentions behind them, but it seemed as if the family looked down on him.
When these eyes were expressionless, they were really indifferent to another level.
Even if Mo Yinxun was actually a gentle woman, she didnât have a gentle aura when she didnât speak.
He had nightmares that night.
He saw a world of sanpaku eyes revolving around him.
It wasnât until he saw Xu Xinduo holding Tong Youxin, who smiled softly at him, that he relaxed. The childâs gaze was sharp, but also infinitely gentle.
Tong Yan was alright in an instant.
