Chapter 520: Chapter 520: Upon Waking, She Only Thinks of Those Two Little Ones
Soon, she fell asleep again.
As if she woke up in the middle of the night just to make sure this man was present.
This time, she slept deeply until the next morning before awakening.
When she opened her eyes again, Shi Yu was leaning against the bedside, having fallen asleep at some point.
However, his sleep seemed particularly restless, his brows tightly furrowed, as if he could wake up at any moment.
Shen Cheng’s brows also furrowed, fearing that he was even more exhausted than she was from childbirth.
After watching him for a long while, she retracted her thoughts, feeling her lips dry.
She hasn’t had a sip of water since noon yesterday, and she was very thirsty.
Looking at Shi Yu’s delicate sleeping face, she couldn’t bear to wake him and decided to get out of bed to pour herself some water.
She gently lifted the blanket and extended her foot out when her hand was suddenly grasped by a warm, large palm.
"Don’t move." His commanding tone allowed no room for dispute.
Shen Cheng hadn’t expected to wake him and glanced at him, "I’m just going to pour a glass of water."
Upon hearing her, Shi Yu got up without a word, pushed her down back onto the bed, tucked her foot back under the blanket, and smoothed the corner of the blanket.
"I’ll get it."
With gentle yet domineering movements, he stroked her hair and turned to pour water, leaving Shen Cheng with a view of his tall, lean back.
A gentleman so modest and as gentle as jade – Shen Cheng suddenly felt there could be no better description for him.
He could be overbearing at times, but also had his moments of soft tenderness.
For example, right now.
Shi Yu soon brought over a cup of hot water, at the exact temperature Shen Cheng always preferred, neither too hot nor too cold, just perfect.
He understood every little detail about her, every bit and piece.
As he approached the bedside, he didn’t plan to hand the water to Shen Cheng, but instead sat down and brought the cup to her lips.
"I can do it myself."
Shen Cheng turned her face slightly, intending to take the cup from his hand.
Unexpectedly, Shi Yu refused to let go, gripping the cup firmly and gently parting his lips, "Be good, listen to me."
Having just given birth, Shen Cheng didn’t have the strength to resist, so she obediently drank the water.
After a few sips, she looked up at him with a slight frown, "The babies? Where are they?"
"Waking up and immediately thinking only about those two little things."
Shi Yu had a cold expression on his face, clearly in a bad mood.
"..."
Isn’t the first thing you’d think about after waking up from childbirth your own children?
And... "little things"?
This man is actually feeling jealous of infants who aren’t even twenty-four hours old.
Before Shen Cheng could speak, Shi Yu coldly added, "Those two little things are quite ugly, too hideous to bear looking at."
Pfft...
A mouthful of water was sprayed out instantly.
What kind of father is this?!
To say his own sons are too hideous to bear looking at?
Shen Cheng gave him a glance and said displeasedly, "The genes for being unbearable to look at must have been inherited from you."
Hearing this, Shi Yu gave a nonchalant hum in response.
Shen Cheng: "..."
Slightly squinting his eyes, Shi Yu then said, "Ugly, yes, but considering you bore them for me, I’ll reluctantly not despise them."
"So you’re just putting up with it?"
"Sort of."
"Shameless."
"How many times do I have to tell you? I only want you."
"Get lost."
Finally, after watching Shen Cheng drink a bowl of millet porridge, Shi Yu allowed the nurse to bring the children over.
Seeing the two little bundles, Shen Cheng was stunned.
These were the "too hideous to bear looking at" ones Shi Yu was talking about?
