Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 465 Hello, Master Gu

A family of four...

As Zhiyuan said this, the sky outside was ablaze with the colors of sunset. Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly, their unspoken understanding unspoken.

Lin Qingping's family spent the Spring Festival on the island.

The eldest sister, Gu Youlian, wrote a letter inviting them to return to the capital for the New Year. Even though Gu Juncheng was busy, she also invited Lin Qingping to bring Zhiyuan over, saying that they hadn't seen each other for a long time and missed them.

However, Lin Qingping was already quite pregnant at that time and declined her elder sister's invitation.

This was also the first time Lin Qingping had written a letter to tell him about her pregnancy.

The eldest sister's feelings after receiving the letter can be seen from the description of the packages sent—ten large packages were mailed, each one packed full in a burlap sack.

Lin Qingping was somewhat bewildered as she watched Gu Juncheng carry each item home.

"Does eldest sister think we're isolated from the world and have nothing?" Lin Qingping asked with a smile.

But when she opened the ten large snakeskin bags one by one, she discovered that among them were two belonging to the eldest sister, two to Sister Zhao, two to Wu Tianjiao, two to Mei Li, and two to the Yun family, representing Yun Qi and Lin Qingyun who were abroad.

The things sent were all sorts of things; in short, Little Pearl had no worries about food and necessities from birth to age seven.

From then on, things continued to be sent from the capital.

One day, she received a cassette tape containing a recording of Mei Li's son, Wu Ruiheng, speaking in a childish voice, calling for his sister, and then saying something that only his parents could understand. From the few words she could understand, Lin Qingping roughly deduced that his sister should come and play with him, and that he had bought her many things...

Gu Zhangzhu arrived in this world amidst great anticipation.

At that time, it was springtime and flowers were in full bloom.

Lin Qingping gave birth at a local hospital.

Gu Juncheng didn't wait until her due date to go into labor; he arranged a bed for her in advance and got her admitted to the hospital, just in case she went into labor unexpectedly and couldn't catch the boat in time.

Lin Qingping was actually a little scared.

This was an experience she had never had in her previous life.

The moment the contractions began, she was suddenly gripped by a sense of panic about the unknown and instinctively grabbed Gu Juncheng's hand beside her.

Gu Juncheng panicked immediately, asking her if she was in pain and repeatedly calling for a nurse.

Back then, the county hospital didn't have a bell, and he didn't want to let go of her hand. Only his panicked voice echoed in the hospital department.

When the doctor arrived, he said it was still early and told them to wait.

This wait made the time seem very long.

She must be in so much pain...

Although she didn't utter a sound, Gu Juncheng could feel her nails digging deep into his flesh. If it weren't for the unbearable pain, she wouldn't have done that...

Furthermore, when she was in pain, her face turned bright red and her teeth were clenched, all indicating that she was enduring immense suffering.

Gu Juncheng suddenly felt extremely useless. Seeing her in so much pain, he could do nothing but let her pinch his hand.

"Lin Qingping, I'm sorry..." he said in a hoarse voice, "If it hurts a lot, shout it out, cry it out, don't hold it in."

Lin Qingping was covered in sweat, but nodded after hearing his words.

He merely nodded, without uttering a sound.

The pain lasted for several hours before the doctor said I could go to the delivery room.

At the entrance of the delivery room, Lin Qingping lay on the hospital bed looking at him. Seeing that they were about to part, she finally couldn't hold back and choked out her first sob of the day, "Gu Juncheng..."

Past events suddenly flashed before my eyes like a revolving lantern, one by one, and I feared that once I entered into them, it would be a final farewell.

She knew she was just going in to give birth, but who knew what her mission was in this rebirth?

“Gu Juncheng…” she choked up, wanting to say something.

He suddenly leaned down and pressed his warm lips to her forehead.

Her words stuck in her throat.

"Don't be afraid, I'll be waiting for you outside," he said, but he didn't let go of her hand. Instead, he squeezed it tightly, as if to give her strength.

Lin Qingping nodded with tears in her eyes, "Gu Juncheng, I will come out to see you with the baby soon."

Wait for me, I'll come out...
