Chapter 86
Note: 1. This series of extras will include some daily life with the baby, daily life, and snippet-like stories!!
2. The timeline is chaotic, written as I think of them, with many short stories!
“1”
Because it was a natural birth, the postpartum recovery was good, and spring had arrived, Ruan Shengyi was able to leave the hospital on the seventh day.
Ruan Shengyi ultimately chose to hire a professional team to take care of things at home. Luckily, the remodeled nursery had one large bed and one small bed. The other master bedroom was left to Xiao Wenyu and Zhao Wen after drawing back the heavy curtains. Suddenly, the house, which was over a hundred square meters, felt much more crowded. Fortunately, there were two bathrooms, which helped with the arrangement.
On the first day back home, after consulting the doctor, Ruan Shengyi asked Xiao Wenyu if she wanted to take a bath. After getting an affirmative answer, she helped the still somewhat weak woman into the bathroom.
Xiao Wenyu: “Do you want to join me? You can’t touch for three months or even longer, you know.”
Ruan Shengyi laughed: “Am I that impatient in your heart?”
Xiao Wenyu looked at her silently, and finally began to take off her clothes, stroking her still somewhat wide waist and abdomen. “Actually, I just don’t want you to see this body. I don’t even like it very much myself.”
She was clearly prepared, and knew that no matter what, Ruan Shengyi would not dislike or reject her because of this. But she was afraid, worried, and somewhat uneasy.
Ruan Shengyi gently held her waist, caressing it, and said softly, “This is very normal. Thank you for being willing to tell me. It’s normal that you feel lost and uncomfortable now.”
She looked up at Xiao Wenyu, leaned in, and gently kissed her brow. The moist breath landed there, delivering a reassuring warmth, mixed with some sounds, and whispered, “It’s okay, just like how your mood can change a lot during your period, this is all normal. Tell me when you’re sad. As for your body, there will be postpartum recovery methods once you’ve recovered a bit, and we’ll continue to exercise together, okay?”
Xiao Wenyu bit her lower lip and looked at her, finally unable to help but turn her head away and whispered, “…I haven’t showered for several days, don’t I smell?”
Ruan Shengyi smiled, “How could I dislike you for that? Okay, the temperature is about right, let’s take a quick shower, so you don’t catch a cold or get chilled.”
“…Okay.”

Xiao Xiyu doesn’t know who she inherited it from, but she doesn’t like to move, doesn’t like to smile, and doesn’t like to cry, unless she’s really uncomfortable, then she’ll wail. Moreover, her crying is regular, roughly divided into:
Hungry, wants Mom or Ama to hold her.
Stomach uncomfortable, wants grandmothers to hold her.
Diaper full, anyone will do.
After the full moon, the live-in medical team left, and Xiao Xiyu began her daily life of rotating between two rooms. Gradually, she didn’t become more active, but she gradually accepted her fate. As long as someone came when she cried, she didn’t care who it was.
Because when she was in her grandmothers’ room, if she was hungry at night, her grandmothers would never wake up her mother, who was resting. At most, her Ama would come over rubbing her eyes, but that was rare, as if she could never hear her crying.
After growing up, Xiao Xiyu heard this story and carefully observed the decoration of her home, and then realized that the soundproofing in her room was so thick it could be a winter quilt. It would be strange if her Ama could hear her crying.
However, she doesn’t know that now. She only knows that tonight she’s sleeping in Mom and Ama’s room, and Mom will hold her when she cries.
So, when it was time for her midnight feeding, Xiyu cried very dutifully.
Xiao Wenyu hadn’t woken up yet when she suddenly felt something touch her forehead. The woman said softly, “You keep sleeping, I’ll feed her. You take the next feeding, sleep.”
Ruan Shengyi turned over, held Xiyu, and coaxed her. Then she went out to get warm water and came back in, skillfully prepared the formula, half-supporting the little one, watching her once again stubbornly try to hold the bottle herself, and handed it to her.
The final outcome was that the bottle tilted onto her body, after all, her hands were small and not even as big as the bottle handle. She looked extremely cute.
Ruan Shengyi yawned and looked at the person drinking the milk, staring at her curiously with two round eyes. She didn’t want to be outdone and met her gaze. After looking for a while, the little one turned her eyes away and stopped looking at her.
Hey! This little one! She’s even learned to dislike her?
When the little one threw away the bottle, indicating that she was full, Ruan Shengyi changed her diaper, patted her, and urged her to sleep.
She couldn’t help but yawn again and again.
Behind her, the person who couldn’t sleep sat up and watched her quietly.
Ruan Shengyi always said that she was used to staying up late before, so she strongly insisted on taking care of the baby for the first half of the night, so that Xiao Wenyu could get a full night’s sleep, and then she would take over for the second half of the night.
But no matter how capable someone is of staying up late, she hadn’t stayed up for several months, so how could her body take it?
But tonight, the little one was just waiting with two big eyes rolling around, refusing to sleep no matter what she said. Ruan Shengyi’s head also ached, and she couldn’t help but say softly, “Little Angel, if you don’t sleep, I’m not going to take care of you anymore!”
Suddenly, something heavy landed on her shoulder. Xiao Wenyu said gently, “Let me hold her.”
“Why did you get up?”
Xiao Wenyu smiled, “It’s a little strange being alone. I guess she wants me to hold her.”
To confirm her words, the little one finally yawned long after gripping the edge of her pajamas, her head tilted and her body curled up, and she closed her eyes.
Ruan Shengyi said “Hey” softly, “This little one! She just knows how to bully me!”
“What do we do now?”
Xiao Wenyu looked at the little one lying in her arms, not even as long as her upper arm, curled up in a ball, as if she had returned to her body. She couldn’t help but soften her gaze. “Let’s just hold her and sleep like this, one night isn’t a big deal.”
“We’ve always been feeding her pure formula, I guess she just wants Mom to hold her.”
Ruan Shengyi leaned over and tapped the sleeping little one in the air, saying helplessly, “Then let’s sleep, she’ll be hungry again in three hours.”
The two of them lay down facing each other, with a small raisin lying in the middle, small, but cute and lovable.
Xiao Wenyu tilted her head and rubbed the side of Ruan Shengyi’s face, saying softly, “Good night.”
Ruan Shengyi shamelessly pointed to her own inner heart. The woman was helpless and leaned in to kiss her brow as she asked, For a long time, she slowly let go, and said softly, “Ruan Shengyi has been working so hard recently. Let’s sleep, really sleep this time.”
“3”
Xiyu’s full moon meant that Xiao Wenyu, who had been restricted from freedom for a month, had also regained her freedom. However, the holiday brought by Labor Day had ended.
Xiao Wenyu expressed her pain at not being able to catch this wave of traffic, but she had to continue to take care of her body because her physical examination results were not good. Strictly speaking, she was too thin and a little malnourished.
After all, she lost almost two kilograms in the first trimester, and then slowly grew, but no matter how much she grew, she didn’t exceed eight kilograms. Taking away those two kilograms, she strictly only gained six kilograms, which basically all left her with the birth of the child.
She hadn’t gained any weight in the past month of postpartum recovery and was still very thin.
Xiao Wenyu lowered her head and pinched her stomach, sighing softly.
She had fat, all the places that should have fat had fat.
She somewhat self-consciously hooked the neck of Ruan Shengyi, who was playing with the baby, and asked softly, “The places on my body that should have fat should all be pretty good, right?”
“There are still two months before you can do it.” Ruan Shengyi said without looking up.
Xiao Wenyu was so angry that she slapped her butt. “I’m asking you about your weight, what are you thinking about? I’ve figured it out, you weren’t trying to be with me at all, but to be her Mom!”
The more she spoke, the more dissatisfied she became. She snorted, “I’ll just get a divorce.”
Ruan Shengyi shook her head and turned around to look at her seriously, “You forgot, we didn’t get married.”
Xiao Wenyu: …
Ruan Shengyi sighed with great seriousness, “What should I do, people are stupid.”
Then she leaned over, saying meanly, “Then you can only fool me, you can’t fool anyone else.”
Xiao Wenyu: Get lost, you damn thing.
But she couldn’t help but lower her head and lightly peck the woman’s lips, “Fine, then I’ll just fool you.”
“4. Excerpts from Xiyu’s Diary”
1. This page only has a crooked “one”.
Maybe it’s a “one”, maybe it’s just a simple horizontal line, who can say for sure?
Ruan Shengyi: My baby is so amazing! Great! She’ll be able to pick any top university in the future!
Xiao Wenyu: …
2. A row of crooked words, writing:
“Ama says I am ugly.”
Xiao Wenyu:?? When did this happen? How come I don’t know?
Ruan Shengyi: Please let God distinguish the loyal from the treacherous!!! I only thought she was ugly when she was first born, okay!
Xiao Wenyu: (Slight smile) You still have the nerve to say that.
Ruan Shengyi: Don’t you think so?
Soon, another line was added to the diary: Mom also thinks I’m ugly.
Xiao Wenyu: …
3. Today I ate big banbin, so delicious!
Xiao Wenyu: What is banbin? What did you feed her again?
Ruan Shengyi: …Maybe, it’s called popsicle, um.
Xiao Wenyu: …If you praise her for learning well again, you’re dead!
