Chapter 42: The Birth of the Two Little Cubs part 1
Yun Yingzhi successfully gave birth to two little babies.
One was a little rabbit cub, and the other was a little egg cub.
When the two cubs were still in his belly, Yun Yingzhi had thought that because they were so lively and active, they might be quite large. But once they were born, he discovered…
The little rabbit cub was hairless, had its eyes closed, and was only about the size of two fingers. Yet, even this tiny rabbit cub was slightly larger than the little egg cub.
The little egg cub was about the size of a thumb and was white all over. If it were a bit larger, it would look exactly like a white chicken egg.
The two little things were so small that Yun Yingzhi hardly felt any pain. It took less than five minutes to bring them into the world.
Trulyārounding up, it only took him five minutes to give birth.
Because of the sudden arrival of the two little cubs, Yun Yingzhi completely forgot to cry; his face was stuck in a state of utter bewilderment the entire time.
In a daze, he thought back to how he had heard that giving birth was exceptionally painful.
To avoid scaring himself, Yun Yingzhi had even planned to look up guides on how to have a painless twin delivery once he reached his due date. However, he never imagined that giving birth would be this simple.
It was truly too simple.
The doctor only gave Yun Yingzhi a quick look at the two little cubs before allowing him to hold them each briefly at his request.
Yun Yingzhi specifically compared them: the little rabbit was the size of two of his fingers, and the little egg was the size of his thumb.
Yun Yingzhi felt a bit uneasy, feeling that these two cubs were exceptionally fragile.
After letting Yun Yingzhi see them, the doctor took the cubs away and placed them in different gestation boxes.
Not long after, a dazed Yun Yingzhi was pushed into a private ward by the medical staff.
Yun Yinghui, who had been waiting outside, anxiously followed him in.
Yun Yingzhi sat on the bed with a blank expression. Yun Yinghui treated him like a fragile patient, forcing him to lie down and even tucking him in.
Yun Yingzhi felt it was inconvenient to talk while lying down. He tried to sit up, but was immediately pressed back down by Yun Yinghui.
Yun Yingzhi blinked, his mind filled with thoughts of those tiny little fellows. Worried, he asked, “Brother, the two cubsādid you see them?”
Yun Yinghui shook his head. “…Not yet.” As he spoke, he pressed Yun Yingzhi back onto the bed again just as he tried to crawl up once more.
The doctor standing nearby said, “Mr. Yun’s situation is very unique. Everything went smoothly. The two little ones really take pity on their father; they didn’t cause him much trouble.”
The doctor was subtly hinting to Yun Yinghui that he didn’t need to treat Yun Yingzhi like a bedridden patient.
Yun Yingzhi perfectly grasped the meaning behind the doctor’s words. Combined with his worry for the two cubs, he desperately wanted to go see them right now.
However, Yun Yinghui didn’t get the hint. He wouldn’t allow it.
No matter how hard Yun Yingzhi tried to get out of bed, Yun Yinghui would just press him back down.
Yun Yingzhiās eyelids twitched. Realizing this wasn’t working, he decided to make Yun Yinghui compromise using a different method. “Brother, I saw the two cubs.”
Yun Yinghui: “Mhm.” Compared to those two cubs, he was more concerned about Yun Yingzhi.
Yun Yingzhi held up two fingers. “The little rabbit cub is only this small. It has no fur, it’s bare, and it’s so tiny and fragile. I’m so worried about it.”
Looking at Yun Yingzhiās fingers, Yun Yinghui was somewhat surprised. “…Is it that small?”
Yun Yingzhi nodded, then held up his thumb. “Brother, the little egg cub is only this size.”
Yun Yinghui: “…Even smaller than the little rabbit?”
After forcing Yun Yingzhi down once more, Yun Yinghui gently wiped Yun Yingzhiās slightly smudged face.
Yun Yingzhi grabbed Yun Yinghuiās hand and said, “Brother, I’m really worried about them. Let’s go see them together, okay…”
Almost simultaneously, Yun Yingzhi and Yun Yinghui sensed something and looked up into the air.
They felt a spatial fluctuationāa very strong spatial fluctuation.
Yun Yinghuiās brow furrowed as he heightened his vigilance. Sensing potential danger, he shielded Yun Yingzhi, his gaze sharp.
In the next instant, an incubator appeared, suspended in mid-air. Inside was…
A tiny white egg, just slightly larger than a thumb.
Just a tiny white egg.
Yun Yinghui: “…”
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
Yun Yingzhi had a look of total bewilderment.
The incubator began to fall.
The scene was terrifyingly precarious. Yun Yingzhiās eyelids jumped wildly, the hair on his arms stood up, and his heart rate spiked.
Yun Yinghui thought that it was indeed very dangerousādangerous in a completely different sense. His reaction speed was incredibly fast, and he immediately caught the falling incubator.
Both of them let out a sigh of relief at the same time.
Yun Yingzhiās mouth twitched as he looked at the tiny white egg in the incubator with a dazed expression.
Holding the incubator, Yun Yinghui looked at the egg through the transparent glass, then at Yun Yingzhi. After a pause, he said, “…Slightly larger than your thumb?”
Yun Yingzhi looked back and forth between the egg and his thumb. “About the same size?” He added in a daze, “It looks like such a fragile little egg.”
It gave off the impression that it would shatter at a touch.
Yun Yinghui looked at the white egg, wondering what species it could be. It was so tiny, hadn’t hatched yet, and strictly speaking wasn’t even “born” yet, yet it had already learned to control spatial abilities to find its father.
He could almost imagine how powerful this little thing would be once it hatched and grew up.
Since the white egg was this powerful, theoretically, its other father should also be very powerful. He wondered how he would compare? Could he successfully hack that person to death with a blade? While Yun Yinghui was lost in thought, another familiar spatial fluctuation rippled around the incubator.
It all happened too suddenly. By the time Yun Yinghui snapped out of it, the incubator had used a second spatial jump to precisely teleport onto Yun Yingzhiās chest.
Yun Yingzhi reflexively hugged the incubator.
Yun Yinghui looked at Yun Yingzhi, and Yun Yingzhi looked back. The two faced each other.
Yun Yinghui said, “…A very impressive little baby.”
After a pause, Yun Yingzhi stroked the incubator and said, “Well, although it seems impressive on the surface, look at it, Brother. It’s so tiny; it’s really quite fragile.”
Yun Yinghui followed Yun Yingzhiās gaze, but he held some reservations about that statement.
Meanwhile, the entire hospital was in chaos.
The little egg cub was missing, and it was said that the newborn rabbit cub was crying despite being so tiny.
Inside the ward, Yun Yinghui said, “Zhizhi, Iāll go tell the doctor that the egg baby is here with you.”
Just as Yun Yingzhi was about to respond, a knock sounded at the door.
The two looked toward the entrance to see a nurse holding a basket. A low whimpering could be heard from inside.
However, the crying stopped just two seconds after she entered.
Yun Yingzhiās eyelids twitched as he looked at the small basket held by the nurse.
The nurse looked at the incubator being hugged by Yun Yingzhi.
She said, “Well, since your child wouldn’t stop crying, we had no choice. We thought it might be better if he was by your side.”
Yun Yingzhiās gaze remained fixed on the basket. “He seems to have stopped crying now.”
The nurse hummed in response, her eyes still fixed on the tiny white egg in the incubator.
Yun Yinghui stepped forward and took the basket from the nurse. Inside was a very, very ugly tiny life form, covered by a small blanket with only its head sticking out. That head looked to be about the size of a fingernail.
It was smaller than even a baby mouse.
Yun Yingzhi thought: The little rabbit cub really does take after me. It’s already this good-looking; it will surely be even more beautiful once it transforms. And its second form will grow the softest, fluffiest, most pettable fur. This is definitely the cutest little white rabbit.
He didn’t realize that his gaze toward the rabbit cub was currently filtered through a thousand layers of bias.
The truth was, the little rabbit cub was completely hairless and quite ugly.
Yun Yinghui carried the little rabbit cub toward Yun Yingzhi.
The nurse finally snapped out of her shock and said, “Actually, I originally came to inform you that the little egg baby had suddenly disappeared. So, you were the one who brought it here?” She looked at Yun Yingzhi with a reproachful gaze.
