After The System Punished Me to Give Birth

Chapter 53

Rong Ci, who had been guarding by the bed, clasped his hand tightly. His voice was cracked, "Jingyang, hold on, you must give birth to the child safely. You can treat me however you want afterwards but you must hold on, alright?"

Su Jingyang was in so much pain. He trembled and couldn't stop his tears. He shook his head vigorously, "I want to go home, I want to go home! I don't want to be here, I want to go home!! I want to go home!!!"

Ling Li started crying after Su Jingyang. His eyes are swollen, but he's helpless in the face of such a situation.

When he turned his head to look at Rong Ci who was guarding the bed like a stone sculpture, his heart became even more confused.

He wasn't able to accompany Su Jingyang, so he hurried to find Li Yin and the midwife instead. He quickly gathered everything, taking only a medicine bottle and rushing to Wuqun Mountain. He feared that something would happen. As expected, Su Jingyang went into premature labour because of anger.

They found a house nearby and vacated a clean room to use as the delivery room in the shortest possible time. But he didn't know why Su Jingyang resisted Rong Ci. He didn't know what happened. Moreover, Rong Ci's expression looked very ugly at that time, and his lips were bloodless. After putting Su Jingyang on the bed, his legs softened and he almost fell to the ground.

Li Yin was worried about the physical injury he got from the mountain. He wanted to treat him but was pushed away, saying that it was fine.

The people in the room suffered torment until the next morning. Su Jingyang was so painful that he couldn't even scream anymore. Rong Ci grabbed Su Jingyang's hand. His eyes were red, and his voice kept repeating his name, "Jingyang..." Rong Ci looked back at Li Yin, but Li Yin still shook his head.

After another hour, Li Yin checked Su Jingyang, but there was still no way he could give birth. He had to make someone bring the boiled medicine and gave it to Su Jingyang to drink. However, after a quarter of an hour, Su Jingyang realized that the previous pain had returned, but not to its extreme. Li Yin asked him to adjust his breathing and taught him how to push down.

Su Jingyang was completely stunned, it took a while before he understood the meaning of his words. He clung to Rong Ci's hand and did what he said.

"Very good, very good, hold on, and try harder." 

Su Jingyang didn't know how many times he had heard this sentence, but he still didn't give birth.

He was on the verge of collapse. He wanted to die, but at this time, the system sneered abruptly, "How is it, how does it feel to give birth? Does it hurt?" 

Hearing the sound of the system at this time was the strongest blow and stimulus for Su Jingyang! ! He suddenly vented his strength and let out a miserable scream, his almost collapsed persona shocking everyone in the house.

"Jingyang, Jingyang!" Rong Ci and Ling Li's souls were almost shocked away by him, but Su Jingyang soon held back his tears. He adjusted his breathing and continued to push. When he lost strength, he would drink another bowl of ginseng soup. The light in the house gradually dimmed, yet he still hasn't given birth.

Just when Su Jingyang was almost ready to collapse in desperation, he finally heard the surprised voices of Li Yin and the midwife, "I can see the head, I can see the head! Madame, please continue to hold on!" 

It was a feeling of suddenly finding a glimmer of light in the endless darkness. Su Jingyang finally saw hope. His cheeks flushed, and he took a deep breath, accumulating all the strength in his to push.

Suddenly, after a sharp pain, he felt something slipping out of him. With a loud cry, Li Yin's voice of celebration sounded: "Congratulations to the City Lord and Madame, it's a little boy! However, there's still one more. Madame, please continue to push hard."

Push hard! Su Jingyang had no choice but to exert himself.

Fortunately, he didn't continue to suffer as much this time. In less than a quarter of an hour, the second child also came out, crying faintly. He heard Li Yin say that it was also a boy.

Su Jingyang fell back on the bed, gasping for breath, the sudden sense of relief made him feel completely disoriented, his head went blank.

Give birth? Did he just give birth? ! ! !

Hearing the cries of the newborns following one after another and the voice of Ling Li crying with joy, Su Jingyang really couldn't believe that he actually persevered for a full two days and one night.

He was a father.

Although he gave birth to the baby himself.

As soon as Su Jingyang looked at his deflated stomach, he couldn't tell whether he was still awake or not. While he was in a daze, Rong Ci suddenly hugged him. Su Jingyang felt hot flashes of breath hit his face. Soon, a hot liquid trickled and fell on his forehead and face.

Su Jingyang was stunned by the temperature. He originally wanted to push him away with a hand but paused in the air and finally retracted weakly. 

Ling Li and the midwife carried two children who had been washed and wrapped in swaddling. They leaned over to the bed to show Su Jingyang, Ling Li said softly: "Jingyang, take a look, I'm holding the big one, the midwife is holding the smaller one."

Rong Ci straightened up slightly, so as not to block his vision. Su Jingyang lifted himself. His eyes saw two little faces that he could hardly tell apart. It was probably because they had just cried, but their delicate little faces were all red, their mouths were pink, and they tried to move it from time to time.

Su Jingyang felt his heart itch suddenly, it wasn't uncomfortable, just a little strange. He hurriedly looked away.

So small!

A lot of hair!

The shape of their lips... was like Rong Ci's...

Although they're not full term, they look healthy.

Su Jingyang noticed that Rong Ci was also looking at them, but his expression didn't seem to have changed. He ordered the midwife to prepare the twins first. Ling Li whispered to Su Jingyang: "Jingyang, take a good rest." After taking a few steps, he looked back at him, before finally going out with the other people, a child in arms.

Rong Ci helped Su Jingyang clean up and changed his clothes. Su Jingyang was unwilling to let others help in such proximity, so he remained silent and didn't resist, letting him play around.

After finishing up, Rong Ci kissed him on the forehead, "Rest for a while."

"I'm going to sleep, you go away!" Su Jingyang finally built up some strength, he gritted his teeth and pushed him hard.

Even if he had the strength at this time, he wouldn't necessarily succeed, but Rong Ci was pushed so hard by him that he almost fell back. Su Jingyang was startled and subconsciously stretched out his hand to help him.

"...What are you doing? Want to win my sympathy?" Su Jingyang was a little angry, but soon recalled that he was trapped inside the mountain for five days before rushing back. Perhaps he was injured somewhere. He wanted to ask but felt too suffocated to do so. He wanted to speak for a while but still didn't say anything, only looking at his pale face in a daze.

Rong Ci showed a helpless look, he touched his face and said: "My legs are a little soft from just now, I'm alright."

Su Jingyang said coldly, "I don't need to know, and I don't care about it anyway. Go away, I want to rest, you big liar!"

Rong Ci secretly gave a sigh of relief. The corners of his mouth showed a small curvature, he said softly to him: "Go to sleep, get enough energy. If you ever wake up wanting to kill me, you'll at least be able to put up some fight by then."

"You just wait for me!"

"I will."

Su Jingyang closed his eyes, he then opened them again and stared at him: "You're not leaving?"

Rong Ci looked at him quietly. "I'm not going, I'll just stay with you here, alright?"

"I don't need you to accompany me." Su Jingyang shook off the hand touching his left cheek, he turned over and faced his back to him.

Su Jingyang was too tired, his eyes cast a few glances behind him, and he hesitated a few times. He wanted to ask him, but he couldn't resist the overwhelming sleepiness and fell asleep. As Li Yin said, the child had been born. After all this, his back finally didn't hurt anymore. After all these days, he was finally able to sleep peacefully.

But when he woke up from hunger in the middle of the night, he turned his head and found that the person who promised to accompany him wasn't nearby, and that the person guarding him turned out to be Ling Li.

Notes: 

1- Ok so original was kind of all over the place (understandable for context) and I really couldn't make much sense of it 老子跟你拼命 (I, your father and you will [give my] outmost) or something like that. I replaced it with the cliche but powerful line 'i'm going to kill you'. It's in context and hopefully won't cause any problems.

PastTimer: Who guessed that he was going to give birth in this chapter!? (also, my keyboard is out of batteries so RIP I guess-) Things are only gonna get better from here, the plot is on a roll!!!
