For the little steambun, being able to stay with Bai Yan was all that he wanted in this world. Even if that meant plenty of suffering and dangers involved, he wonât regret it.
âHiss!â
The poor woman wanted to say something more then, however, itâs right at that moment a stinging pain came rolling from her belly again and caused her to go white from the spasm.
âWhatâs wrong Mother?â Bai Xiachen asks with urgent eyes, âIs my little sister coming out?â
Tightly biting her lips, Bai Yan clearly couldnât speak anymore due to the sensation coursing through her veins. Itâs an experience normal people could never imagine. For example, compared to the injuries sheâs used to taking in combat, this was several times more intense!
âMother.â Unable to hold back the tears anymore, the little steambun shows a pleading face due to that painful expression.
Heâs accompanied Bai Yan for so many years and has never seen his mother behave this strongly and helpless.
âXiachen⦠help me⦠prepare, the scissor, and⦠hot waterâ¦â
âUhoAHH.â
Quickly pulling out the prepared scissor from his storage bag, the boy also grabs the water kettle and an iron pot from within for use. These are all prepared for this occasion prior to their departure so it didnât take long for Bai Xiachen to set everything up.
Bai Yan on the other hand was too preoccupied with her current condition of going into labor to do anything else. Truthfully she doesnât understand why either but this time itâs much more painful than when she carried her son the first time around.
Seconds passedâ¦.
Minutes passedâ¦.
The clock continued to tick along but the baby remained firmly lodged in there, refusing to come out and causing the poor woman to gasp constantly in pain.
âMother!â Growing increasingly more distressed over that painful face, the boy starts to plead, âI donât want a sister anymore, I donât want a sister anymore, can you not give birth anymore? I donât want you to keep getting hurt.â
Unable to speak, Bai Yan could only make a bittersweet smile at her boy.?The babyâs already coming out soon, how can I not have it??Besides, Iâve come this far and climbed the mountain, what does some pain matter at this point?
Getting angry now, Bai Xiachen stares angrily at the big belly: âYou are not a good sister, you causing Mother so much pain. if you donât come out now then I wonât like you anymore.â
Who knows if the boyâs words really worked, or itâs just the timing, but the next thing Bai Yan felt was a loosening sensation around her belly and a ball of flesh rolling down her bottom half, followed closely by the screaming cry of a babyâs voice.
Panting with air still, Bai Yan felt relieved: âHurry Xiachen, go pick the baby up or else the cold will hurt her.â
âI donât want to.â Bai Xiachen refused and instead ran up to Bai Yanâs side to grasp her hand.
âWhy? Donât you want your sister? Hurry and go pick her up.â
âShe hurt you so I donât like her anymore.â Puckering his lips, the boy explains with an unhappy face.
