Not long after Shen Yao was wheeled back into her hospital room, the Shen family rushed to the nursery to see the two little ones again.
Because they were twins, they still needed to stay in the incubator for observation for a day and wouldn't be brought back to Shen Yao's side until tomorrow.
Shen Huaijin and Jiang Qingqing's eyes never left the two babies, afraid that in a moment of distraction, someone might swap them or steal them.
They had already looked. None of the babies in the room were as cute as their little nephews. They were born fair and tender, not red and wrinkled like other newborns.
Shen Huaijin and Jiang Qingqing stared intently. The moment a nurse picked one up, their heads followed the nurse's movements.
They were like two marionettes.
After being bathed by the nurse, they were snugly wrapped and placed back into the incubator.
"Huaijin, why aren't they moving at all?!" Jiang Qingqing was worried, especially since they lay there motionless.
"I don't know. I have to go ask."
"Ask what?"
Shen's mother, who had followed them, quickly asked when she heard Shen Huaijin.
"I want to ask the nurse why they aren't moving? Not crying, not fussing, and not eating," Shen Huaijin said, growing more anxious.
That's right, the babies hadn't eaten anything yet. She wondered if they were hungry.
Shen's mother: Is this idiot her son?
Tuanzi and Jiaozi: Uncle, we're wrapped up tightly, so we're not moving, we can't move! You think too highly of us!
"Go, go away!"
After her momentary panic subsided, Shen's mother immediately turned her gaze to the two babies sleeping soundly in the incubator.
"Oh, they're so handsome! Their mouths, their noses, they look exactly like Yao Yao."
"This one, this one too, they look so well-behaved, rosy and tender, not like newborns at all," Shen's father quickly added.
Shen Huaimin took out his phone and filmed from every angle, 180 degrees, and even recorded two short videos.
Less than two minutes after sending the videos, Ning Min's voice message arrived.
"The babies look so good. Are the babies malnourished? Why is their hair so yellow."
Shen Huaimin's voice message was played aloud, so everyone present heard it clearly and immediately turned their attention to the two little ones.
Upon closer inspection, indeed, the babies' hair was very yellow. Could they really be malnourished?
Shen's mother quickly grabbed a passing nurse, "Nurse, nurse, I want to ask you a question."
The nurse didn't get angry when Shen's mother grabbed her arm, and said with a smile, "Is there something I can help you with, family member?"
"Look, look at those two babies. Is it because they are twins that they are malnourished? Why is their hair so yellow!"
Shen's mother's tone was very anxious, clearly showing her concern.
The nurse's expression was somewhat unreadable. "The babies are very healthy, they are not malnourished. Also, have you considered that this might be genetic?"
Everyone's minds had raced through hundreds of possibilities, but they had never considered such an answer.
Shen family: ! ! ! !
Shocked the whole family!
"There's something I don't know if I should say," Shen Huaijin spoke again at this moment.
"Say it!"
Why is he being so hesitant? Is he not a man!
"That," Shen Huaijin pointed at the tiny little one, "he looks a lot like Mo Chen, especially Mo Chen now."
...
In the hospital room, Mo Chen was unaware that his second brother-in-law had forcibly exposed his identity.
Shen Yao slowly woke up. The anesthesia had not yet worn off, so the pain was not particularly intense.
"Mo Chen? Where are my parents?" Shen Yao looked around but didn't see any other members of the Shen family.
"Your father and mother are gone to see the little ones. You've worked hard, a boy and a girl."
Mo Chen's words were filled with excitement. He was really going to be a father, what a novel experience.
This was something he had never thought of before. He thought he would never get married or have children in his life.
But now, he not only had a girlfriend but also children, and twins at that. It was too miraculous.
Shen Yao: Are you sure they are my biological parents?
"Why don't you go see them?" Shen Yao asked Mo Chen.
Mo Chen shook his head. "I'll stay with you."
He had watched a lot of short videos recently. He had heard more than one person say that when they gave birth, their husbands and parents only focused on the babies and ignored them, and this was something they would remember for a lifetime.
Moreover, although these two little ones were his children, in his eyes, Shen Yao was more important. Besides, there were so many people keeping them company.
"The doctor said that after a while, the anesthesia will wear off, and it will hurt a lot then. Do you want me to ask the doctor to give you another anesthesia pump?" Mo Chen said to Shen Yao.
Looking at her hair and clothes soaked from the pain earlier, wouldn't the wound hurt even more after the anesthesia wore off?
Shen Yao shook her head, not letting Mo Chen go, and secretly drank some spirit spring water.
After drinking the spirit spring water, Shen Yao clearly felt her whole body relax. The wound felt itchy, which indicated it was healing.
Thus, when the anesthesia wore off, Shen Yao did feel pain, but it was within her tolerance.
If she hadn't been afraid of being discovered when applying medication, she could have directly healed the wound.
She thought the most painful part was over, but she didn't expect that the injection and abdominal massage almost made her shed tears.
Damn it, this hurt more than childbirth!
The next day, the two little ones, whose examinations were all normal, finally had a formal meeting with Shen Yao.
Perhaps it was due to some telepathic connection, but the two little ones, who had been fast asleep, began to stir and wake up.
Shen Yao's gaze met theirs. Although textbooks said that babies at this stage couldn't see clearly, Shen Yao was sure they could see her!
The difference between the two little babies was not small. Although sister Jiaozi was only a little over a jin heavier than brother Tuanzi, the difference was huge when placed together.
Jiaozi was noticeably larger than Tuanzi, with fair and plump little arms exposed, while Tuanzi was different, with slender little hands and feet.
After looking at Shen Yao, the two little ones immediately blinked their eyes and started crying loudly.
"Waaaaa, waaaaa..."
One started crying, and the other immediately joined in without showing any weakness, creating a duet!
Mo Chen quickly stood up and then took out two milk bottles and a pack of milk powder from the maternity bag that was being packed for Shen Yao.
Shen Yao was sure that these items were not prepared by the Shen family or Xia Chao. There was only one possibility: Mo Chen had bought them.
