Chapter 743 Thin-Skinned
"I did, but Mu Bai didn't believe it. She thought it was my own child, so it looked good no matter how I looked at it through a filter."
"Oh! Mu Bai, if you say that, then it's really a wish, Xiao Cheng. Your baby is really very good-looking! I'm not just praising you. Every time I go to the third floor, I can hear others praising the child. They all say that our child is white and tender when he is born, and he will definitely be a handsome boy when he grows up."
"Really? Then I can't wait to see the baby."
"Don't worry. I specifically asked about it this morning. What the child did can be returned tomorrow. You can see with your own eyes tomorrow whether the child is as we said."
"Okay, I'm really looking forward to it. If I can get off the car, I really want to go to the third floor with you to see him."
"Mu Bai, your health is the most important thing right now. Taking good care of yourself is the top priority. Don't worry about the child, okay?"
"I'm not worried. With you and Yunchuan by my side, I have nothing to worry about. I have good meals every day and you guys are taking care of me. I will definitely recover quickly."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's eat first. If we keep talking like this, I'm afraid we'll need to heat up our words before we can eat them."
"Okay, okay, let's stop talking. Take the food to the small table on the bed. This way it will be more convenient for Mu Bai to pick up food and eat."
It is convenient for Jiang Mubai to eat like this, but Cheng Yunchuan and Zhou Xiaoying have to sit on both sides of the bed to eat.
Fortunately, Cheng Yunchuan and Zhou Xiaoying were not the kind of people who cared about these small details. Of course, they did things in whatever way was convenient for Jiang Mubai.
Before eating, Zhou Xiaoying scooped out a bowl of soup for Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan respectively and asked them to drink some first.
Zhou Xiaoying agreed to let them eat only after they finished the soup. Both of them knew that Zhou Xiaoying was doing it for their own good so they did not refuse.
After everyone finished lunch, Zhou Xiaoying and Cheng Yunchuan were packing up, while Jiang Mubai lay down on the bed again while they were talking.
She just lay idly on the bed, watching the other two people busying themselves in the ward. The things were packed up and put aside, waiting for the people who came to the villa to deliver food in the evening to take them back and wash them.
When everything was done and they took a break, Zhou Xiaoying remembered that she had not yet wiped Jiang Mubai's body.
"Mu Bai, why didn't you tell us? How uncomfortable would it be to get all sticky with sweat?"
"I just woke up and saw you all by my side, so I forgot about it. I don't think the smell on me is that strong. Yunchuan, you were lying next to me so close to me just now, did you smell coldness?"
"Although not, it must be uncomfortable to sweat so much when giving birth, so I'll wipe your body. You can't wash your hair or take a bath in your current condition, so I can only wipe your body and change your clothes."
"Is it true that you can't wash your hair during confinement? Who can stand it for ten days or half a month? I can't do it anyway."
"You can wash it, but it will take a few days. You've just given birth, so don't take any risks. When you can get out of bed and walk around, you can wash it. But don't let the wind blow or you'll catch a cold, okay?"
"Okay, okay, everything will be fine if you can let me wash my hair and take a shower."
Zhou Xiaoying went out to ask the nurse to bring back a new set of hospital gowns. "After we wipe them clean, we'll change into this new set of clothes. You have to wash the hospital gowns before you can wear them again. I'll put the clothes aside for you. I'll go to the bathroom and get some water."
Zhou Xiaoying came out with a hot towel. She looked at Jiang Mubai and then at Cheng Yunchuan, "Mubai, should I wipe your sweat or should Xiao Cheng do it?"
Jiang Mubai actually wanted Cheng Yunchuan to come, but it would be embarrassing for Zhou Xiaoying to watch her at the time, so in the end she decided to let Zhou Xiaoying help her.
"Aunt Zhou, please help me. Yunchuan, do you want to go upstairs to check on the child? This morning, my dad showed me the photos, but I don't think they were very clear. Please go and take some more photos for me now."
Cheng Yunchuan knew that Jiang Mubai was embarrassed and was making up an excuse to get himself out, so he didn't expose him but obediently took his phone and went to the third floor.
He has been with Jiang Mubai for the past two days. Except for the time when the doctor held the baby in his arms to examine him in the delivery room, Cheng Yunchuan did not visit the child again. This is not to say that the child is not important to him, but he decided that compared to the child, Jiang Mubai needed his company more.
So now that Jiang Mubai has spoken, Cheng Yunchuan will naturally obey.
After Cheng Yunchuan left and closed the door, Jiang Mubai was not used to exposing his chest and back in front of others.
"Auntie Zhou, please give me the towel. I can wipe it myself."
"I know you feel embarrassed, so I won't insist. I'll give you the towel to wipe it. I'll turn my back first."
Jiang Mubai took the towel and saw that Zhou Xiaoying had indeed turned her body around before she unbuttoned her clothes and began to wipe her body. After the hot towel rubbed across her skin, Jiang Mubai felt that he indeed felt a lot more comfortable.
"If you can't wipe the back, wait for me and I'll wipe it for you. Mu Bai, if you're embarrassed, put on your clothes first. I'll lift up your clothes and wipe it for you later."
There were some places at the back that Jiang Mubai really couldn't reach, so after hearing Zhou Xiaoying say that, Jiang Mubai put down the towel and put on his clothes.
"Auntie Zhou, I'm fine."
Hearing Jiang Mubai's voice, Zhou Xiaoying turned around, picked up the towel and walked towards him: "Auntie will wash this towel for you. This towel will not be clean if it absorbs sweat and is used to wipe the body. Mubai, wait for Auntie for a while."
"okay."
Not long after Zhou Xiaoying went in, she came out with the washed towel. Jiang Mubai turned his back and lifted up his clothes to make it easier for Zhou Xiaoying to help him wipe his back.
"How can Mu Bai still be so shameless even though she's already a mother? What should you do when breastfeeding your child in the future?"
"I am also worried about this matter. I can only take it one step at a time."
"It's not a big deal, why are you still worried? I think you young people just can't save face. You'll get used to it slowly. Don't keep thinking about it. During the confinement period, you have to take care of the mother's health as well as her heart. Don't worry about such a small thing and lose your appetite or sleep. That's not good."
"I understand, Aunt Zhou. I'm not as exaggerated as you say. I know this well. If you feel embarrassed, I'll ask you to wait outside. I'll feed the baby alone in the ward. Anyway, I won't let myself suffer any injustice even if you suffer injustice."
"That's good. This is how we should be. We all live this life, so the most important thing is to make ourselves happy."
"Aunt Zhou, it's great that you have such an optimistic attitude. There are very few people like you."
"Auntie has lived for most of her life after all. These are all my life experiences. You must remember them well after I tell you. I am an experienced person and I have so much experience to tell you. Don't be like those people who get angry over trivial matters. It's not good for your health. In the end, you will be the one who gets hurt anyway, don't you know?"
"You know, Auntie, maybe you haven't been in contact with me long enough, otherwise you wouldn't be worried that I would be the same as those people."
"That's good. Auntie is relieved to hear you say that."
