Note: If you're looking for a story about a two-souls-one-body character who hides for the sake of hiding, has resources but doesn't use them, and constantly gets into trouble due to their low IQ, then stop here. I'm writing about a semi-concealed situation, where both sets of parents are aware.
------------------------------------------
Azure Star, Imperial Xia Republic, Tianyuan City.
Tianyuan City is one of the nine top-tier cities in the Imperial Xia Republic, a massive metropolis covering over 500,000 square kilometers with a population exceeding 200 million.
At the Jing family residence in Tianyuan City, a handsome and elegant man paced outside a bedroom. Beside him stood another man, eight parts similar to him, exuding a faint scent of blood.
Upon hearing the news of his mother's labor today, Jing Tian requested leave from his legion commander and rushed back from the extraterrestrial battlefield.
He had only returned a few days ago, and the blood scent clinging to him hadn't completely dissipated.
"Brother, Mom will be alright, won't she?"
Jing Tian held a delicate and adorable little girl's left hand. Hearing his mother's occasional screams from the bedroom, he spoke with a worried expression.
"It's nothing, she'll definitely be fine."
Although Jing Tian spoke with great confidence, his hand holding his sister's trembled slightly, clearly indicating that his words did not match his true feelings.
"Dad, stop pacing around here. You're making Xiao Frost and me nervous."
They were already worried, and with their father pacing back and forth, wasn't that just adding to the pressure?
"Am I not worried about your mother? Look at you, so calm and unconcerned. Your mother truly doted on you for nothing."
Jing Dongfeng glanced at Jing Tian, who was holding his sister's hand, and said with an indignant tone.
Jing Tian: ???????
Alright, alright, so this is how we're playing, huh?
This ability to turn the tables, truly worthy of the man who could be Tianyuan City Lord.
No wonder Second Uncle always complained that Father was a treacherous fellow, always up to no good when his mouth twisted.
"She's delivered! She's delivered! The madam has given birth to a young master!"
Just as Jing Tian was about to retort, a doctor's voice suddenly came from the bedroom.
Then, Jing Tian saw his father transform into a streak of light, whooshing out instantly.
And then, with a "bang," Jing Dongfeng slammed directly into the door.
"Dad, pull the doorknob to open the door."
Watching his father plastered against the door, Jing Tian's mouth twitched twice, barely suppressing a laugh.
"Pfft."
Jing Hanshuang, standing beside him, didn't have such strong composure. She covered her mouth with her fair, tender hand and burst out laughing.
"Hmph, do I need you to tell me?"
Jing Dongfeng awkwardly pushed himself off the door, turned his head, chin slightly raised, and huffed arrogantly. He then turned and pulled the doorknob, entering the bedroom.
Jing Tian shrugged and, holding his sister's hand, also entered the bedroom.
From childhood to adulthood, he had grown accustomed to his father's occasionally unreliable personality.
"Lord Jing, congratulations, congratulations! It's a young master."
Seeing Jing Dongfeng enter, the female doctor in a white coat held a baby and said with a smile.
"Good, good, good."
Hearing the doctor's congratulations, Jing Dongfeng smiled and said three "good"s, taking the baby from the doctor's hands.
He walked around the foot of the bed and sat down beside his wife.
Pei Lingyi, who had just given birth, was still a bit weak, but her pale complexion still couldn't conceal her stunning beauty.
Her pale face not only didn't diminish her beauty but added a delicate charm of a sickly beauty, making her even more endearing.
"Bring the child over, let me see him."
With the help of a maid, Pei Lingyi leaned against the headboard and raised her hand, wanting to take the baby from Jing Dongfeng's arms.
"Oh, madam, slow down, I'll do it, I'll do it."
Seeing Pei Lingyi reach out, Jing Dongfeng hurriedly brought the little infant closer to her.
"Look how scared you are. I'm a King-level professional, how could I be so fragile?"
Seeing Jing Dongfeng's flustered appearance, Pei Lingyi gave him an exasperated look.
"His eyes are like yours, his mouth is like yours, and his chin and forehead are like mine... When he grows up, he'll definitely be a noble young master as beautiful as jade."
Pei Lingyi took the infant from Jing Dongfeng's hands and said softly, looking at her son in her arms.
"Yes, everything madam says is right."
Hearing Pei Lingyi's words, Jing Dongfeng nodded repeatedly in agreement. He, for one, couldn't tell what this wrinkled, red child would grow up to be like.
On the other side, Jing Tian and Jing Hanshuang, the siblings standing not far away, exchanged glances as they watched the loving family of three.
Well, now they were the extras.
"Huh? Didn't they say that newborns always cry? Why isn't little brother crying?"
Jing Hanshuang let go of Jing Tian's hand, ran to the bedside, and said, looking at her little brother's wrinkled face.
"That's right, I haven't heard my son cry. Quickly, pat his bottom."
When a baby is in the mother's womb, the alveoli are closed. Crying helps air enter the lungs, thus promoting the complete opening of the alveoli.
If a baby doesn't cry, it can lead to breathing difficulties, affect brain development, and in severe cases, even endanger life.
As he spoke, Jing Dongfeng's palm had already landed on the little infant's bottom.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! (Ouch, what the heck!)"
Jing Yuan, who had been somewhat dazed, suddenly felt a pain in his bottom. Who hit me?
With the pain in his bottom, Jing Yuan quickly twisted his body in Jing Dongfeng's arms.
However, he was still a baby, so his movements were limited, and because his vocal cords weren't fully developed, he could only make "ah ah" sounds.
"Hey, look, he's crying, he's crying."
Hearing Jing Yuan's "ah ah" sounds, Jing Dongfeng immediately beamed with joy and said to the others.
Jing Yuan: No, are you sick?
At this moment, Jing Yuan was still a bit dazed and hadn't thought about the fact that a baby needed to be spanked to cry. He just felt that this guy had spanked him until he cried and was now showing off to the people around him. Could his father in this life be a bit slow-witted?
What kept Jing Yuan in a dazed state wasn't that he knew he had transmigrated, but that he now had two perspectives.
At this moment, in another part of Tianyuan City, Tianyuan City, Yunxi City First People's Hospital.
In a hospital room filled with the smell of disinfectant, Ruan Qinghuan was soaked, her slightly loosened knuckles still pale.
Her husband, Gu Zhixing, carried their newborn daughter to the bedside, letting his wife see their daughter's appearance.
"You worked hard."
Seeing his wife's weak state, Gu Zhixing placed the child in the bassinet and held his wife's somewhat pale hands.
"With you here, it's not hard work," Ruan Qinghuan managed a smile. "I want to see the baby again."
Hearing his wife wanted to see the baby again, Gu Zhixing quickly picked up their daughter from the bassinet and placed her beside his wife.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"
The baby girl on the bed suddenly cried out a few times, causing Gu Zhixing's hand, which he had slowly lowered after seeing his daughter born without crying, to stop.
"Have you picked a name for our daughter?"
Ruan Qinghuan raised a hand, playfully teasing the little infant in the swaddle.
"I have, I have. How about Gu Xiao?"
