Chapter 3 First Encounter_1

"Oh, my little granddaughter," Old Madam Situ said, paying no mind to Old Mr. Situ as she snatched Situ Xin from her own son's hands. Old Madam Situ held Situ Xin, feeling the softness of her granddaughter's tiny body, her heart brimming with satisfaction. She carefully examined her newborn granddaughter and made an important discovery, "Hey, look how beautiful our granddaughter is. It's my first time seeing a newborn this beautiful right after birth." "Of course, wouldn't you look at whose daughter she is?" Situ Haotian now wore a self-admiring expression, completely different from his usual cold demeanor. If his comrades from the unit could see Situ Haotian right now, their eyes would surely pop out.

Old Madam Situ glanced at her self-admiring son. "It's my little darling who's naturally beautiful, not like you saw Xiao Che and Xiao Kai when they were just born. They only got cuter after a few days. But look at our little darling now, already so gorgeous." While Old Madam Situ was lecturing Situ Haotian, the door to the delivery room opened, and Loo Yaxin was wheeled out by the doctors and nurses.

Situ Haotian saw his wife's pale face and felt a deep ache in his heart. He thought, after this birth, no more children in the future. Now he had both a son and a daughter, and his family felt complete. "Mom and Dad, later, bring my daughter to the ward. I'll go with Yaxin to the ward first."

"We know, you take good care of Yaxin. We'll be there in a little while," Old Madam Situ said as she saw Loo Yaxin, exhausted from giving birth, was already asleep. She decided not to follow them and cause more fuss but rather stay with her well-behaved granddaughter. During the lecture between Old Madam Situ and Situ Haotian, Old Mr. Situ was staring at Situ Xin in Old Madam Situ's arms without blinking. Even though Situ Xin's eyes were not yet open, her clean and white appearance made Old Mr. Situ think she was getting prettier the more he looked. He wanted to hold this little baby in his arms. "Old lady, hand over the little darling to me," he said, reaching out to take Situ Xin from Old Madam Situ. "Do you know how to hold her?" Old Mr. Situ wanted to hold her, but Old Madam Situ wasn't making any move to let go of Situ Xin. "How could I not know? Even if I don't know, you can teach me. Hurry up, don't dally, I'm waiting to hold my little darling here." Seeing her husband so eager, Old Madam Situ didn't want to dampen his spirits, so with great care, she handed Situ Xin into Old Mr. Situ's arms.

When Situ Xin was transferred from Old Madam Situ's arms to Old Mr. Situ's, she could clearly feel the difference between the two embraces, yet both gave her a sense of security. So, she let these people fuss over her.

Old Madam Situ found it amusing to watch her husband holding Situ Xin stiffly yet with extreme carefulness. "Place one hand gently under the baby's head, wrapping your palm around the baby's entire head, while also making sure to support the neck, uplifting the baby's head. Yes, that's it. Then stretch the other hand under the baby's bottom, supporting the whole of her little buttocks, using force with both wrists." Old Madam Situ's mood softened instantly as she saw Old Mr. Situ, following her instructions, skillfully holding their granddaughter.

While being fussed over by Old Madam Situ and Old Mr. Situ, Situ Xin felt the profound love her family had for her in this life. Silently she thought to herself: In this life, I shouldn't be an orphan again.

Although Situ Xin had begun to absorb Spiritual Energy while in her mother's womb, she was still just a newborn and soon felt a bit drained, her little stomach growling with hunger. She tried to move her mouth, attempting to signal her hunger, but she forgot she was an infant and couldn't speak. After trying in vain, she cried out in frustration. The cry wasn't very loud as she was hungry, but Situ Xin's cry did give the old couple of the Situ Family playing with their grandchild quite a start. "Old lady, why is the baby crying? Is she uncomfortable?" A flustered Old Master Situ asked while holding Situ Xin. "The baby might be hungry," said Old Madam Situ with more experience."The baby's hungry? Then find something for her to eat quickly. We can't let our little darling starve." Old Master Situ couldn't stand seeing Situ Xin's tiny face turn red from crying. "Hurry up, let's take the baby to find Yaxin," said Old Madam Situ, and without delay, the two old people carried Situ Xin towards Loo Yaxin's ward. As Situ Xin heard her grandparents in this life rushing to get her food, she stopped crying. After all, Situ Xin wasn't a real infant; since the time she gained sense in her previous life, she had never cried over any hardship, no matter how severe. Besides, crying was indeed an exhausting activity.

When the old couple from the Situ Family reached Loo Yaxin's ward with Situ Xin, Loo Yaxin was already fast asleep, exhausted from childbirth. Situ Haotian, seeing his parents arriving with his daughter, asked in a low voice, "Mom and Dad, you're here." "Yes, Haotian, the baby just cried. She must be hungry," Old Master Situ said, affectionately looking at the small face of his granddaughter. "Is that so?" When Situ Haotian heard his beloved daughter was hungry, he was alarmed. It was not acceptable if his precious daughter went hungry, but he turned to look at Loo Yaxin, who was asleep on the hospital bed, and felt conflicted. He couldn't bear to wake his wife who had just fallen asleep from the exhaustion of childbirth, but he couldn't stand to let his tiny daughter go hungry either. As Situ Haotian was indecisive, Situ Xin, tired of waiting and starving, cried out again in frustration. As she cried, she couldn't help but think, "How embarrassing, crying at this age. But there's no helping it, without speech, I have only tears."
