While everyone was eagerly anticipating Xu Yi's rare public appearance again, Xu Yi was pacing back and forth anxiously outside a bedroom in Luo Xing Manor, glancing towards the bedroom from time to time. The front door, eyes also full of expectation.
The door to the bedroom was closed, and only a few occasional shouts could be heard from inside, as well as the faint moan of Steele.
There is no difference between the human women on the Sainz continent and the human women on the earth. They can also get pregnant and give birth to children after ten months.
That's right, Steele is having a baby!
Xu Yi didn't know what he was feeling now. He just felt that it was extremely complicated and difficult to describe.
When he was on Earth, because he focused on mechanical research, he had very few opportunities to interact with girls since he was a child, let alone fall in love. However, after coming to the continent of Sainz, he accidentally met her here. Steele, and finally married Steele, and now they are about to have their own child!
Although Xu Yi could predict the arrival of this day on the day he married Steele, when the day finally arrived, Xu Yi was still a little confused and at a loss.
About to be a dad
But what is it like to be a father
Will the child Steele gives birth to be a boy or a girl
If it's a boy, what should his name be? If it's a girl, what's her name
Do they take their last name
If the surname is Xu, how should I name it
…
A lot of miscellaneous questions were running through Xu Yi's mind.
It has been more than six years since I came to this world. This was probably the first day that Xu Yi didn't consider any issues related to survival and mechanical knowledge at all.
However, the moment the bedroom door was opened, all the messy problems suddenly turned into one problem.
"How is Steele? Is she okay?" Xu Yi stared at the female nurse responsible for delivering Steele who came out of the bedroom and asked nervously.
Steele suddenly felt a stomachache since last night. The personal doctor Xu Yi invited home early judged that she was about to give birth. It has been nearly ten hours now, but Steele has never had any intention of giving birth, and Xu Yi couldn't help but be very worried.
The female nurse didn't look nervous at all. Instead, she smiled and comforted Xu Yi and said, "Don't worry, President Xu, Mrs. Steele is in good health. She has good physical strength and there will be no problem."
"Then why haven't you given birth after so long?" Xu Yi asked again.
The female nurse pursed her lips and smiled: "President Xu. Do you think giving birth is a simple matter? It can't be so fast. After all, this is Mrs. Steele's first time giving birth, so it can't be so smooth. But you Don’t worry, her physical condition is normal and she will be fine.”
The female nurse sounded very certain. Xu Yi felt a little relieved.
"Okay, don't disturb them, let them concentrate on helping Steele deliver the baby." Camilla, the great magician beside him, patted Xu Yi on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down.
"Yes." Xu Yi nodded, let go of the female nurse and let her pass.
Just as he backed away, the bedroom door suddenly opened again.
Xu Yi quickly looked around and saw Yanis walking out.
"Hey, Yanis. How do you think Steele is doing?" Xu Yi asked her quickly.
The expression on Yanis's face was a little strange: "It's good. I think there should be no problem... But President, it turns out that you humans have children almost the same as us elves. I thought there would be differences if the races are different. Woolen cloth."
Xu Yi was dumbfounded: "What? Have you ever seen your people fail to have children?"
"Well, in our clan, having children is a big deal, and the elders take it very seriously. However, this happens rarely in our elves. Growing up, I have only seen less than ten children in the clan. "Anis replied.
I thought that although Yanis looked like a human girl under twenty, she was actually over eighty years old. Xu Yi couldn't help but feel more deeply about the problem that Elder Elusia had lamented to him many times before.
The fertility rate of the elves is too low. In the past few decades that Yanis knows, only ten newborns have appeared, which is really pitiful.
It's no wonder that Elder Elushia used to worry that even if there were no external factors, the elves would naturally become extinct due to low fertility.
After glancing at Yanis, Xu Yi suddenly thought of a question.
"By the way, Yanis, you should be old enough to get married and have children, right? Have you ever fallen in love with a handsome male elf and thought about marrying him and having a child? What if you fall in love with him? Which male elf in the clan can I introduce to you?"
Yanis was not at all shy about this issue like human girls. Instead, she thought about it very seriously and then shook her head: "No, I have no idea of merging with any tribe. I really want to If you say so, President, I like you more."
Xu Yi was startled, then waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, I am a human and you are an elf. How can you combine with me? This is obviously impossible."
"Really?" Yanis looked confused. "So humans and elves can't combine?"
Xu Yi couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "This is common sense, right? Didn't Elder Elusia teach you this?"
"No." Yanis shook her head, looking a little frustrated. "It turns out that elves and humans can't combine. That's such a pity. I originally thought I would like to be with you, president, and I will try to get you to agree to be my partner in the future."
Xu Yi looked defeated by Yanis. After thinking for a while, he patted Yanis on the shoulder and said, "Don't be too disappointed. In fact, you are so beautiful and I like your personality very much. You must be very popular among the elves." You're welcome. Okay, don't think about these impossible things now. I'll give you a task. If anything goes wrong, come out and report it immediately."
"Okay." Yanis nodded vigorously, turned and entered the bedroom.
Wait until the bedroom door is closed again. Xu Yi frowned, turned around and complained to the great magician Camilla: "What the hell is this rule? Why can't I, as Steele's husband, go in and accompany her at such a critical moment? Just Can you wait outside? This is simply inhumane!”
Camilla, the great magician, patted Xu Yi's shoulder and comforted softly: "Giving a child is the most important but also the most secretive thing in a woman's life. Of course she doesn't want to be seen by a man. And it is said that when giving birth, a woman It will become very ugly. Of course Steele won't let you see her ugly appearance. Just think of it for Steele's sake."
Xu Yi was still a little aggrieved and cursed in a low voice. But he had no choice but to continue pacing back and forth outside the bedroom, waiting anxiously.
But okay, about half an hour later. The good news keeps coming.
"President, the child's head has come out!" The first one to rush out to report the information was Yanis, who had just been sent in by Xu Yi.
"Master, the child's arm has come out too!" This was Vivian.
"Master, the child is half out!"
"Master, all the children are about to come out!"
"Master, the child's feet are also out!"
…
Listening to this news, Xu Yi's face became more and more excited.
After waiting quietly for a moment, the bedroom door suddenly opened again. The female nurse who came out to report just now shouted to Xu Yi with a smile on her face: "President Xu, congratulations, the baby has been born!"
Xu Yi was immediately overjoyed. Laughing and rushing over.
"How's Steele doing now? Where's the baby? Can I go in now? Is it a boy or a girl? How does it look?"
The female nurse opened the bedrooms apart to make a gap, and motioned for Xu Yi to follow her in.
Unexpectedly, the female nurse had to show off, Xu Yi immediately opened the door and walked in without politeness.
Nuoda's bedroom was crowded with people. Yanis, Vivian, Liz and Linda were surrounding the big bed in the center, surrounding Steele who was lying on the bed.
Xu Yi forced himself to the bedside in a few steps. Looking at Steele's slightly pale face, his heart suddenly tightened. He quickly grabbed her hand and asked softly: "How are you doing? Steele? How do you feel?"
Steele was a little weak and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw it was Xu Yi, he squeezed out a smile.
"I'm fine. But...Xu Yi, I'm sorry..."
Xu Yi was stunned: "I'm sorry? Why do you say sorry?"
A complicated expression flashed across Steele's face: "Because I gave birth to a girl."
Xu Yi was even more puzzled: "What happened to the girl? Why did you say sorry?"
Steele shook his head slightly, closed his eyes, and seemed to have no energy to speak anymore.
Xu Yi turned his eyes to the people beside the bed in shock and found that only Yanis looked normal, while the others, including Vivian, had a somewhat forced expression on their faces.
Xu Yi frowned, his heart moved, and he suddenly understood.
After thinking about it, Xu Yi leaned down and kissed Steele on the cheek. Looking at Steele's reopened eyes, he said firmly and softly: "Steele, I told you a long time ago. No need to worry about these meaningless questions, I will make you feel at ease."
After saying this, Xu Yi straightened up and opened his hands to the female nurse on the side: "Where is my daughter? Give it to me. As a father, I haven't seen what she looks like."
The female nurse seemed to sense that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange. She glanced at Xu Yi and hesitated before giving Xu Yi the baby in a cradle beside the bed.
Xu Yi took the tightly wrapped baby, lifted the cloth covering her head, and saw that her face was wrinkled because she had just been born, and her facial features had not even opened. She was definitely not beautiful. With a small face, an extremely complex and inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
Is this your own child
After staring blankly at his daughter's face for a long time, Xu Yi took a deep breath, raised his head and glanced at Steele on the bed first, nodded to her, and then looked at the man who had followed him in and was also beside the bed. The standing magician Camilla finally glanced at the faces of everyone in the room, and then raised the daughter in his hands with both hands.
"Now, I declare..." (To be continued)
