1990, Reborn as a Beachcomber, From Rascal to Brilliant Guy

More than an hour later, around 4 a.m., Ye Wanqing finally came out of the delivery room.

She lay on her side on the hospital bed, a few strands of her hair damp on her forehead. When she was wheeled out and saw Lin Shuisheng, she lowered her eyelids slightly, buried most of her face in the pillow, and pretended to be an ostrich.

Seeing her like this, Lin Shuisheng almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Years later, he had forgotten that his wife could be so adorable!

The nurse ignored the couple's situation and simply wheeled Ye Wanqing into an empty ward.

When Lin Shuisheng entered the ward, he immediately felt that the 30 yuan was well spent.

Aunt Hua followed behind, carrying the child. When she saw the two empty beds in the ward, she immediately beamed with joy.

That night, she had been traveling by boat, rushing around, and sitting on a cold bench, and she was already exhausted.

As soon as the nurse finished explaining the precautions and left, she placed the child next to Ye Wanqing and then went to lie down on the empty bed at the very back.

Perhaps because she sensed her mother's presence, the child, who had been soothed to sleep, suddenly started to move her body, waving her little hands and making a series of "humming" sounds.

Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing immediately abandoned her pretense of burying her head in the sand, hurriedly lifted the blanket, unbuttoned her clothes, and gently moved the child over.

Before long, the child was happily eating.

"Gulp!"

Standing to the side, Lin Shuisheng saw the child eating so heartily, and for a moment he couldn't help but swallow hard.

Upon hearing the sound, Ye Wanqing paused slightly while gently patting the child's hand, her cheeks flushed, and she rolled her eyes coquettishly.

"Um, let me get you a glass of water!"

Lin Shuisheng said something somewhat shamefully, then hurriedly left with the enamel teacup he had borrowed from the nurse.

Damn it!

This is truly bizarre.

That's clearly his wife, but why did he feel like she was a married woman just now?

Is it because I haven't used it in a long time?

After a while, when he returned to the ward with a glass of water, the child had already eaten and fallen asleep.

Looking at Ye Wanqing, who was covered tightly with a blanket, a strange sense of disappointment flashed through his heart.

"Here, have some water first!"

"..."

Ye Wanqing looked at Lin Shuisheng's gentle face and the water glass handed to her, her gaze slightly lingering, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of panic.

She knew that Lin Shuisheng had been hoping for four years that she could give birth to a son so that he could hold his head high in the village.

Now that she's given birth, and given birth to a daughter, isn't Lin Shuisheng angry? Aren't he disappointed?

"Don't want to drink it? Then leave it for now and drink it when it cools down a bit!"

Seeing that Ye Wanqing didn't get up to get water, Lin Shuisheng simply placed the water glass on the cabinet next to him and sat down on the chair by the bed.

He had rushed to the county town before, and being a second-generation heir, he had forgotten most of the things about having children, and hadn't brought many things with him.

He only remembered when the nurse asked him.

I wonder if his family will bring it to him when it gets light.

"Ah Shui, it's all my fault..."

Seeing Lin Shuisheng sitting there without saying a word, Ye Wanqing's eyes slowly reddened, and tears silently streamed down her face.

"Hey, why are you crying?"

Lin Shuisheng looked up when he heard the sound and quickly stood up.

"Ah Shui, I can still have children. I will definitely give you a son someday. Please believe me, okay?"

Ye Wanqing grabbed Lin Shuisheng's hand, her voice choked with emotion, and gripped his hand tighter and tighter.

"Okay, I believe you. Don't think too much right now. Focus on getting better first, otherwise how will you give me a son in the future?"

Lin Shuisheng gently patted Ye Wanqing's hand, nodded, and softly coaxed her.

He didn't tell Ye Wanqing that she probably wouldn't be able to get pregnant again, nor did he say that he no longer hoped to have a son.

If he hadn't witnessed firsthand the changes in the villagers' attitudes towards carrying on the family line over the next few decades, he probably would never have believed that some young people would rather die without a family line than get married and have children.

"You really don't blame me?"

Ye Wanqing stared blankly at Lin Shuisheng, somewhat incredulous.

"What are you saying? You risked your life to give me such a beautiful son, why would I blame you?"

Lin Shuisheng rolled his eyes, his tone slightly self-deprecating.

He wasn't like this in his past life.

"Are you alright? You seem a little off today. You don't have a fever!"

Ye Wanqing paused for a moment, then quickly placed her hand on Lin Shuisheng's forehead, her words tinged with doubt and worry.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm your man! How dare you talk to your man like that? If you dare to talk nonsense again, believe me, I'll slap you."

Lin Shuisheng's face darkened, and he glared at Ye Wanqing with some annoyance.

That silly woman, you can't treat her well at all, she just wants to be scolded.

"Then...then take it easy."

Ye Wanqing shrank her neck, then bit her lip, closed her eyes, and slowly moved her face closer.

Hey!

You really are just so incredibly cute!

Lin Shuisheng stared blankly at his wife's gentle, beautiful, and charming face, wondering if he had missed something in his past life.

"Are we going to fight or not? If not, I'm going to be sleepy!"

After a while, Ye Wanqing opened her eyes a crack, secretly glanced at Lin Shuisheng, and then quickly tucked her head back into the blanket, a sweet smile playing on her lips.

Although she didn't know why Lin Shuisheng had suddenly changed his personality, she liked him.

"Oh!"

Seeing this, Lin Shuisheng smiled silently, then leaned back in his chair, looking at the two figures, one big and one small, on the bed, feeling a sense of peace in his heart.

Soon after, the breathing under the blanket became slow and long, and the ward became very quiet.

He stood up, tiptoed to the window, and looked into the distance through the glass.

Under the hazy sky, fishing lights drifted on the sea like stars reflected in the sky.

Canglan Island, located on the easternmost part of China, usually sees sunrise earlier than the mainland.

It's almost dawn now.

"Where? Where is it?"

I don't know how much time had passed, but a familiar voice came from the door of the ward.

Lin Shuisheng turned around and saw a sweat-covered oval face under the dim light, which made his heart skip a beat.

"Mom, why are you here so early?"

"It's all because of you, you good-for-nothing! You brought your wife here to give birth, but you didn't bring anything! If I hadn't come sooner, what would your wife have used?"

Chen Xiurong glared at Lin Shuisheng with some annoyance, then forcefully pushed him aside and peered into the ward.

"Alright, stop blocking the way. Where's my granddaughter? Where is she?"

Clearly, she must have asked some questions at the nurses' station, and she probably wasn't in a good mood.

Lin Shuisheng just happened to walk into the line of fire, giving her an excuse to make a fuss.

"Ah Shui, don't think too much about it. If you have a son this time, you can have another one next time."

Lin Haisheng followed Chen Xiurong into the ward, patted Lin Shuisheng on the shoulder, and looked on with a serious expression.

Looking at his older brother's soaked shirt and the undisguised exhaustion on his face, Lin Shuisheng felt a warmth in his heart. He then shook his head and pulled Lin Haisheng along.

"Come on, brother, don't just stand here, let's go inside and see your little niece."
