After going through childbirth, Su Rui was really tired.

So, this time, Su Rui slept very well.

As to how long she slept, Su Rui doesn’t know. But, subconsciously, she felt that it was a long sleep.

And it was very strange.

A person should have a clouded consciousness when one is clearly in a deep sleep.

However, in the darkness, Su Rui was mostly unaware of the things around her, yet she seemed to be extraordinarily conscious.

Many scenes flashed through Su Rui’s head. Slowly, time rewound to when she just arrived in this world, met and fell in love with Gu Yu Cheng, had her own home, and had her first child in life.

Su Rui saw many scenes from her previous life.

The scenes were very clear.

Even many small details that were vague in her memory were extremely clear in her present consciousness.

This included the folds that showed at the corner of the aunties’ eyes in the same ward when they talked about the little things that happen in their families. And the feeling of pain as the nurse was giving her the injection.

So much so that Su Rui knew exactly the content of the entertainment news, TV shows and novels which she scrolled through her phone as she laid in bed when she was bored.

Scenes from her previous life flashed through her mind like a blinking traffic light, suddenly causing Su Rui to have a splitting headache.

All the scenes shattered. Everything was put into perspective. A juxtaposition was formed.

The darkness in front of her eyes faded away, and Su Rui could sense light entering through her eyelids.

However, at this moment, her eyelids felt like they were a thousand catties. No matter how hard Su Rui tried, she could not open them.

Deep down, she began to panic.

As Gu Yu Cheng watched Su Rui’s eyes seemed to be moving under her eyelids, he stood up from his chair and leaned over to Su Rui.

“Are you awake, Rui Rui?”

“Rui Rui?”

Rui Rui?

Who is calling her?

This voice felt very familiar to Su Rui.

Realizing that something was wrong, Gu Yu Cheng pressed the call button beside the bed.

The doctor came in and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with the child’s mother?”

Holding Su Rui’s hands, Gu Yu Cheng stepped towards the side to give way to the doctor and said, “My wife seems to be in great discomfort.”

Upon hearing that, the doctor also came over with a serious expression and performed a check on Su Rui.

“It’s fine. Mrs Gu’s current condition should be because her body exerted too much energy. Her consciousness has awakened first, but her body organs and various functions have yet to awaken.”

“This situation usually doesn’t last long. Mrs Gu will regain consciousness soon.”

Sure enough, as soon as the doctor finished his sentence, they saw that Su Rui opened her eyes.

“Rui Rui, are you awake?”

Looking at Gu Yu Cheng in front of her, her gaze slightly hitched.

“How do you feel?”

“Do you want some water?”

“Are you hungry?”

Gu Yu Cheng asked softly in Su Rui’s ears.

Word by word, sentences said by a gentle and familiar voice entered Su Rui’s ears, but she shook her head and remained silent.

“What’s wrong? Tell me, do you feel discomfort somewhere?” Gu Yu Cheng asked as he looked at Su Rui worriedly.

As Su Rui looked at the man with a worried expression, Su Rui’s heart sank, and her nose felt congested. Her tears almost welled up in her eyes.

For the first time in her life, Su Rui felt a sense of uncertainty and unfamiliarity with the man who became a part of her life.

Gu Yu Cheng lowered his head and wanted to kiss Su Rui, but Su Rui subconsciously turned her head and avoided it.

The uneasiness under Su Rui’s eyes made Gu Yu Cheng’s heart tightened.

“Yu…” Su Rui spoke, but for a moment, she didn’t know what to call this person.

“I’m here.”

“Rui Rui. Tell me, what’s wrong?”

“I’m fine,” Su Rui said.

“Could you step outside for a moment?” Su Rui spoke again softly.

“Rui Rui.” Su Rui’s words surprised Gu Yu Cheng.

“I want to be alone for a while.” She also knew that this request was abrupt and even unreasonable for Gu Yu Cheng. However, at this moment, Su Rui could not explain herself for the time being.

After looking at Su Rui for a long time, Gu Yu Cheng finally said in a slightly raspy voice, “Alright.”

“I’ll be right outside. Call me if you need something.” After a pause, Gu Yu Cheng added, “Or call the doctor.”

He helped Su Rui arrange her blanket, called the doctor and walked out of the ward.

Because he was worried, he asked the nanny to accompany her while he watched from a distance in the corner of the room.

……

After leaving the ward, Gu Yu Cheng didn’t conceal his emotions and asked nervously, “What’s wrong with my wife?”

Su Rui’s emotions were not right.

Earlier, the moment Su Rui opened her eyes to look at him, Gu Yu Cheng noticed the hint of aversion revealed in her eyes.

Such a realization made him uneasy.

It was just that Gu Yu Cheng was more worried for Su Rui now.

“Mr Gu, you should take it easy for now,” The doctor reassured Gu Yu Cheng.

“Cases like your wife’s are not unheard of in our past experience.” The doctor added after a pause, “A woman’s hormone levels drop drastically after giving birth. At this time, she is prone to experience immense emotional changes and mood swings.”

“Postnatal depression?” Gu Yu Cheng uttered a phrase, and his expression turned a little ugly.

“It doesn’t have to be that serious.”

“Then when will my wife’s condition recover?”

“This is not certain. It may take a while until the body functions of the child’s mother stabilize, and the emotions will do the same.”

“Of course, it may also last for a day or two, a week or two, a few months or even longer. This depends on the mother’s emotional changes; certainly, the family’s encouragement and companionship during this process are also very important…”

The doctor explained a lot more to Gu Yu Cheng.

At this time, Mother Su and the family’s housekeeper also came.

“Yu Cheng, why are you outside?” Seeing Gu Yu Cheng standing at ward’s door, Mother Su asked, “Has Rui Rui woken up yet?”

“Not yet,” Gu Yu Cheng subconsciously answered. He wanted to stop Mother Su from going in at this time. But thinking that Su Rui should be hungry at this time, Gu Yu Cheng hesitated again.

“Ahem, she just woke up.”

Hearing Gu Yu Cheng’s words, a hint of suspicion flashed past Liu Yue’s eyes. She didn’t think too deep into it.

Liu Yue said with a smile, “That’s good. I just tried this soup. The temperature is just right. She woke up just in time to drink it.”

When Liu Yue entered the room, the doctor seemed to notice Gu Yu Cheng’s hesitation and spoke, “Mrs Su, as her mother, going in at this time will definitely be helpful in calming your wife’s emotions.”

“I know.” Gu Yu Cheng nodded his head.

After much contemplation, Gu Yu Cheng looked at the doctor again and asked, “Is there anything I need to do?”

“Like I said before, accompany her and talk to the child’s mother as much as possible. Let her quickly adapt to some of the physical as well as psychological changes as soon as possible. Of course, the new identity of being a mother.”
