Chapter 49 Familiarity
Chapter 49 Familiarity
At five o'clock, Lin Weiwei was sleeping in the space with Ye Ying when she suddenly felt a slight pain in her stomach. The familiar feeling told her she was about to give birth. As soon as Lin Weiwei turned over, Ye Ying woke up.
"Wei'er, what's wrong?" Nightshade asked.
"My stomach hurts a little, it feels like I'm about to give birth. Go to the next room and call Zexuan over."
After Zexuan arrived, he asked anxiously, "Weiwei, are you about to give birth? Let's go out now." He then picked up Lin Weiwei.
When Youhao saw Zexuan and Yeying carrying Lin Weiwei out, he knew that she was about to have a baby, because Lin Weiwei didn't get up that early.
"Youhao, go to the kitchen and tell Zehao to cook some noodles for Weiwei first, then boil more water." He then said to Yeying, "Yeying, keep an eye on Weiwei. I'll go call the witch doctor. Weiwei, don't worry, Yi and the other four come out and sleep on the stone bed. If too many people come, it'll be difficult to explain." After giving them his instructions, he left the cave, transformed into a beast, and vanished on the spot.
The four little ones have been frequently taking baths in the spring water in the space lately, and are also fed with spring water. Now they are not only chubby, but also very smart.
Lin Weiwei placed the four little ones on the stone bed, and they turned over and continued to sleep.
Ze Xuan's transformation into a beast to summon the witch doctor alarmed the elders, who nervously followed behind him.
The witch doctor followed Zexuan to the cave, just as Lin Weiwei finished eating a bowl of noodles. After examining her, the witch doctor said that Lin Weiwei was about to give birth.
The elders in the courtyard, along with Zehao and Yan Junyi, anxiously gathered around, awaiting the birth of the new life.
Lin Weiwei gripped Zexuan and Yeying's hands tightly, groaning in pain. Only then did she remember why she hadn't taken an epidural; it seemed pregnancy really did make her forgetful for three years—after taking one, she realized...
Finally, the first tiger cub was born, followed by the second, the third... Lin Weiwei gave birth to eleven adorable cubs: five tiger cubs (three males and two females) and six snake cubs (four males and two females), the offspring of Ye Ying and You Hao.
She looked wearily at her cubs, secretly ate a recovery pill, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Seeing that Lin Weiwei was asleep, Zexuan said softly, "You two take the baby out to show the elders, keep your voices down, Weiwei is asleep."
Ye Ying and You Hao nodded, then carried the baby out. Ze Hao, seeing them come out, immediately brought in a basin of hot water.
"Brother, the hot water's here. Wash Weiwei up," Zehao said softly.
Zexuan took the hot water and towel and began to help Lin Weiwei wash up. Lin Weiwei was aware of Zexuan's service even in her sleep, and she didn't feel embarrassed at all; she was used to it anyway.
Zexuan gently wiped Lin Weiwei's body, careful not to wake her. His eyes were full of tenderness and love.
When he finished, he sat quietly on the edge of the bed, gazing at Lin Weiwei's sleeping face.
Just then, the excited voices of the elders came from outside. The Tiger Chieftain and the Snake Leader were overjoyed, holding the cubs with obvious affection. The entire courtyard was filled with a festive atmosphere, and everyone was happy for the arrival of the new life.
Yan Junyi envied them. They were Weiwei's beast husbands and had their own cubs, while he...? Although a little disappointed, he quickly cheered up! He believed that his sincerity would move Weiwei and that he too would become one of them.
Lin Weiwei woke up at five in the afternoon. The courtyard was still bustling with activity. She went outside and saw people taking care of their cubs, cooking, and the Tiger Chieftain and Snake Leader were even more exaggerated, holding their newborn cubs. Actually, cubs don't need to be held; they're meant to sleep. But those two grandfathers insisted on holding them, and there was nothing she could do about it.
Lin Weiwei couldn't understand how they could hold a newborn snake. One was a male beastman over two meters tall, and the other was a tiny snake. It couldn't be called holding; it was more like a grandfather holding his grandson in the palm of his hand. That's how the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren comes about. Fortunately, they each only held one.
Lin Weiwei couldn't help but laugh at the sight. She walked over to the snake leader and took the little snake from his hands. "Father, aren't you tired of holding it like this? Give it to me."
The snake leader smiled and shook his head, "Not tired at all, this little guy is so well-behaved."
How could he not be good? All he knows how to do now is sleep.
You Hao walked over, took the little snake from Lin Weiwei's hand, and said, "Weiwei, are you hungry? I made some soup."
Lin Weiwei nodded. "I'm a little hungry."
"Wait a minute, I'll take the baby inside to sleep, and I'll come out to serve you some soup."
Ye Miaomiao was watching the cubs with the Tiger Clan Chief, the father and daughter chattering away. Seeing Lin Weiwei come out, she quickly ran over, "Sister-in-law, you're awake! The cubs are so cute! I'm planning to stay here for a while before going back. Is that alright, sister-in-law?"
"Sure, you can stay as long as you want. The question is, will your father agree?"
"Father said he'd take me back next time he comes," Ye Miaomiao replied happily.
At this moment, You Hao brought over a bowl of soup, intending to feed it to Lin Weiwei, but Lin Weiwei said no, she would drink it herself.
Then, Ye Ying and Yan Junyi brought out dinner, and everyone ate in the courtyard, chatting and laughing.
