326 Divine Awareness

ce suddenly came from behind me: "Uh... lady, this is the men's restroom...""Oh! I'm sorry, I was just—" My face flushed crimson, I was actually caught!Before I could even finish my words, the man sud...Jiang Qiyun's hands were beautiful. His strong and slender fingers curled and uncurled, resembling a white jade flower blooming in the night.

A small red badge, the material warm to the touch, yet as fierce and vivid as blood.

"...Do you still want this from me" I tentatively asked.

Jiang Qiyun smiled lightly: "If I don't give it to you, who will I give it to"

He tied the red string, once again hanging it around my chest. The name tag lay there like a flower bud, nestled in the center of the mandala blossom that veiled my wounds.

"What if I lose it again" I shivered with fear.

"Hmph... What else can I do I'll just get it back for you."

"What if we lose it again" I asked with a smile.

“...Even if I throw it a hundred more times, it's still yours.” He sighed helplessly. “What's the point of answering such childish questions You just need to know that this thing belongs to you.”

He held me down as he lay beside me, whispering in my ear with a smirk: “ … You’re so naive. Such childish questions even come out of your tiny head.”

"Compared to you, who in this world is not small" I turned my head and looked at him.

He closed his eyes, a cool breath brushing my shoulder gently.

Black hair strands fanned out on the pillow, tangling together strand by strand.

May our hair turn white together, a testament to a lifelong love.

He mostly spends time with me at night, so people don't notice.

They don't know his tenderness and depth, nor my obsession and madness.

"Don't laugh at me for being naive, love makes people grow old." I turned my head and rubbed my nose against his.

"Is that so" he said unconcernedly.

"...it can also make one's heart smaller."

He closed his eyes and smiled faintly.

The next morning, Lin Yanqin appeared at my shop.

My brother rarely came down to see her. "Miss Lin, have you been disciplined by your family"

Lin Yanqin pouted her lips aggrievedly, pulling up her long skirt to reveal two obvious bruises on her knees.

"My mom made me kneel and scrub the floor in front of grandpa for four hours. It wasn't until my older brother came back that I was rescued."

My brother twitched the corner of his mouth: “ … Didn’t get beaten up, did you”

Lin Yanqin shook her head and mumbled, "I didn't know President Situ was so powerful, he actually plans to arrest you guys to make amends... If you get caught, I'd be in big trouble."

As she spoke about yesterday's events, I felt a sharp pain in my lower back. It was so uncomfortable that I couldn't even sit still. I decided to go lie down for a bit and asked Lin Yanqin to chat with me in my room.

As I slowly climbed the stairs, I suddenly felt something like it was about to flow out of me. Scared, I immediately rushed back to my room.

What is this!

I'm so nervous, but my stomach isn't reacting at all, except for the occasional kick from the little ancestor.

I rushed to open the door and shouted outside, "Brother, please bring that old woman upstairs!"

"What's wrong Xiao Qiao" Lin Yanqin saw me so flustered, she got nervous too: "Should I call a doctor and an ambulance"

“ ...No, I just felt a little strange.” I nervously clenched my skirt hem, thinking that if it happened, I’d call Jiang Qiyun right away.

My dad, my brother, and Tanlang were huddled by the door, wanting to come in but feeling awkward about it.

The old woman said, “This means she’s about to give birth… Don’t be afraid, stay calm. Things that are hard-won always have something unique about them.”

She pressed her fingers against my pulse, her eyes half-closed, a serene detachment on her wrinkled face. She had delivered several unusual children in the past, especially during the old times.

In times of war, human life is as cheap as grass. Lonely souls and evil spirits roam freely. People fight against fate, nature, and each other, doing anything to survive.

The old woman's withered fingers, like those of a chicken claw, pressed against my pulse and she said slowly, "The pulse on the cun position is rapid and intense, like beads rolling on a string."

What does this mean I… I don’t understand these ancient medical practices.

"That means she's about to give birth... Girl, are you having back pain" the old woman asked.

I nodded, wincing. It started yesterday - a strange tightness in my lower back, coming and going in waves. But it's not intense pain, compared to the feeling of being ripped apart limb by limb like when I fell into the Demon Cave. This is just a strong massage.

"You, little girl, are still too young. If you feel something is amiss, you should tell me immediately. Do you think giving birth can be done step-by-step and smoothly A hundred women giving birth will result in a hundred different situations! Besides, your child is a spirit child!"

My brother had Greedy Wolf pinned to the floor, his hand on Greedy Wolf's head. Dad was riding my brother's back, both of them leaning against the doorframe watching me.

"Xiao Qiao, you really need to report anything out of the ordinary immediately!" My dad couldn't help but say. "When your mom gave birth, she really gave me psychological trauma! Giving birth is not easy at all!"

"You old fool, are you crazy! Why are you scaring Qiao now" My brother punched him.

The glutton wolf lay on the ground and whispered, "Little Uncle, should I help boil some hot water"

Lin Yanqin held her phone, nervously asking, “Should I call the doctor Or should I book a VIP delivery room first… But, I’m afraid this child is different from ordinary children… What if someone sees…”

What she said is also what I'm worried about.

This little room is like my turtle shell. I always feel that hiding inside it, time will pass peacefully and worries will stay away.

The old woman pulled out a soft tape measure, measured my waist circumference, then measured both hips. Finally, she reached out and pressed on my stomach.

"Don't worry, no gynecologist has more experience than me. I've delivered hundreds of babies over the years... This one seems like it's going to be a girl, her head is already down... And the baby isn't very big, a natural delivery will be no problem at all."

She smiled and said, "Almost there... Rest well, and call me immediately if you feel unwell."

I nodded. Now, if they asked me to get out of bed and go to the toilet, I wouldn't dare! I'm afraid something else will fall out!

“Yun Fan, you go downstairs and prepare the altar. Make sure the house is clean, sweep and wash everything. Close the bathroom door. There can’t be a speck of dust on the floor. Then everyone should bathe and change clothes. Offer incense and pray sincerely… Hehehe… sincerity brings results… don't worry…” The old woman laughed slyly.

My brother nodded in agreement and then said to Lin Yanqin, "Miss Lin, come here for a moment. I have something to discuss with you."

What did he discuss with Lin Yanqin I heard their low voices coming from the hallway, but couldn't quite make out what they were saying.

The Wolf held a small stool and sat in front of my bed. He whispered, "Master (my brother) told me to make two preparations for Miss Lin. First, call an ambulance to the door, and don't let the doctors from the obstetrics and gynecology department and the neonatal care unit leave work until they are called upon at any time."

My brother is really... so thoughtful.

After everything at home was ready, my brother ran to my room and sat down. In the late afternoon, he received a phone call, and that's when I suddenly remembered something.

Tonight is the day Lin Yanhuan takes matters into her own hands and cleans up Qingsheng Hospital!! from the attic also poked his head out."Master Uncle, is that you" he asked.I shook my head, the sound seemed to be coming from the second floor.The second floor is where my dad and my brother's fami...
