While everyone was looking forward to Xu Yi's rare public appearance, Xu Yi was anxiously pacing back and forth outside a bedroom in the Falling Star Manor. From time to time, he glanced at the door of the bedroom, his eyes full of expectation.
The door of the bedroom was tightly closed. Only a few shouts and vague moans of Stiel could be heard from inside.
The human females of the Sines Continent were no different from the human females of earth. They could also have children and they would give birth after ten months.
That's right, Stiel was going to give birth!
Xu Yi didn't know what he was feeling at this moment. He only felt that it was extremely complicated and indescribable.
When he was on Earth, because he focused on mechanical research, he had very few opportunities to contact girls, let alone fall in love. However, after coming to Sines, he met Stiel by accident and finally married Stiel. Now, he was going to have his own child!
Although he had expected this day to come on the day he married Stiel, when it really came, Xu Yi was still at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Was he going to be a father?
But what would it be like to be a father?
Would Stiel's child be a boy or a girl?
If it was a boy, what would his name be?
If it was a girl, what would her name be?
Would they follow his surname?
If their surname was Xu, what would their name be?
…
A lot of miscellaneous questions were running around in Xu Yi's mind.
It had been more than six years since he came to this world. This was probably the first day that Xu Yi didn't consider any questions related to survival and mechanical knowledge.
However, the moment the door of the bedroom was opened, all the miscellaneous questions instantly turned into one question.
"How is Stiel?
Is she okay? "
Xu Yi stared at the nurse who was responsible for delivering Stiel and asked nervously.
Since Stiel suddenly felt a stomachache last night, the private doctor that Xu Yi had invited home early said that she was going to give birth. It had been nearly ten hours since then, but Stiel didn't show any signs of giving birth. Xu Yi couldn't help but worry.
The nurse didn't look nervous at all. Instead, she smiled and comforted Xu Yi, "Don't worry, Chairman Xu, Mrs. Stiel is very healthy and has good strength. She will be fine."
"Then why hasn't she given birth yet?" Xu Yi asked again.
The nurse smiled, "Chairman Xu, do you think giving birth to a child is a simple thing?
It's not that fast.
After all, this was Madam Still's first time giving birth. It wouldn't go so smoothly.
But don't worry, she's to give birth to you to give birth. "
Hearing the nurse's confident tone, Xu Yi relaxed a bit.
"Alright, don't disturb them. Let them focus on delivering Stiel." Great Magician Camilla on the side patted Xu Yi's shoulder, indicating for him to calm down.
"Un." Xu Yi nodded. He let go of the nurse and let her go.
As soon as she left, the bedroom door was suddenly opened again.
Xu Yi quickly looked over and saw Agnes walking out.
"Hey, Agnes, what do you think of Stiel's situation?" Xu Yi quickly asked her.
Agnes had a strange expression, "She's pretty good, I don't think there should be any problems ….. But chairman, it seems like you humans give birth the same as us elves. I thought that there would be a difference if there were different races."
Xu Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What?
Have you seen your clansmen give birth before? "
"Un, in our clan, giving birth is a large matter and the elders place a lot of importance on it.
However, there are very few situations like this among us elves. I've grown this old and I've only seen less than ten births. "Agnes replied.
Thinking of how although Agnes looked like a human girl less than twenty years old, she was actually over eighty years old, Xu Yi couldn't help deeply understanding the problem that elder Elucía had mentioned to him many times before.
The elves' fertility rate was just too low. In the few decades that Agnes knew, there had only been ten births, which was a pitiful number.
It was no wonder elder Elucía was worried that even if there were no external factors, the elves would go extinct due to their low fertility rate.
After looking at Agnes, Xu Yi suddenly thought of a problem.
"That's right, Agnes, you should have reached the age where you can get married and have children, right?
Have you fallen in love with any handsome male elf and thought about marrying him and having children with him?
If you've fallen in love with any male elf in your clan, I can introduce you to him. "
Agnes was not shy like a human girl when it came to this problem. Rather she seriously thought about it before shaking her head, "No, I don't have any thoughts of marrying any clansmen.
To be honest, chairman, I actually like you more. "
Xu Yi was stunned before quickly waving his hand, "No, no, no, I'm a human and you're an elf. How could you marry me, this is clearly impossible."
"Is that so?" Agnes had a confused look.
"So humans and elves can't marry?"
Xu Yi couldn't help rolling his eyes, "This is common sense, alright?
Could it be that elder Elucía didn't teach you this? "
"No." Agnes shook her head with a depressed look on her face.
"So elves and humans can't marry, that really is a pity.
I thought that I liked being with chairman very much and would try to get you to agree to become my companion. "
Xu Yi had an expression of being defeated by Agnes. After thinking about it, he patted Agnes' shoulder and said, "Don't be too disappointed.
Actually, you're this beautiful and I like your personality, so you must be very popular among the elves.
Alright, let's not think about these impossible things right now.
I'll give you a task. Go in and accompany Stiel for me and if anything is wrong, immediately come out and report it. "
"Alright." Agnes gave a strong nod before turning to enter the room.
When the door to the room closed, Xu Yi knit his brows and turned to complain to Great Magician Camilla, "I say, what kind of damn rule is this? Why can't I, as Stiel's husband, go in and accompany her at such a crucial time?
I can only wait outside?
This is simply inhumane! "
Great Magician Camilla patted Xu Yi 'shoulder and comforted him in a soft voice, "Giving birth is the most important and secret thing in a woman's life, of course she isn't willing to let a man see it.
Moreover, it's said that when giving birth, a woman will become very ugly.
Of course Stiel isn't willing to let you see her ugly appearance, so just treat it as thinking for Stiel. "
Xu Yi was still a bit indignant. He cursed a few times in a low voice, but there was nothing he could do. He continued to pace back and forth outside the room, anxiously waiting.
But it was a good thing that after around half an hour, good news kept coming.
"Chairman, the child's head is already out!" The first one to report was Agnes who Xu Yi had just sent in.
"Master, the child's arm is also out!" This was Vivian.
"Master, half of the child is out!"
"Master, the child is about to come out!"
"Master, the child's foot is also out!"
… …
Hearing this news, Xu Yi's expression became more and more excited.
After waiting for a while, the door to the room was suddenly opened again. The nurse who came out to report had a wide smile as she loudly said to Xu Yi, "Chairman Xu, congratulations, the child is already out!"
Xu Yi was instantly filled with joy as he charged over with a wide smile.
"How is Stiel right now?
Where's the child?
Can I go in now?
Is it a boy or a girl?
How does it look? "
The nurse opened the door a bit and made a small gap, indicating for Xu Yi to follow her in.
He never thought that the nurse would keep him in suspense, so Xu Yi immediately opened the door and walked in.
The large room was currently filled with people. Agnes, Vivian, Liz, and Linda were all around the large bed in the center, surrounding Stiel who was lying on the bed.
Xu Yi walked over to the bed and seeing Stiel's pale face, his heart tightened. He quickly grabbed her hand and asked in a soft voice, "How is it?
Stiel?
How do you feel? "
Stiel was a bit weak as she slowly opened her eyes. Seeing that it was Xu Yi, she squeezed out a faint smile.
"I'm very good.
But ….. Xu Yi, I'm sorry ….. "
Xu Yi was stunned, "Sorry?
Why are you sorry? "
A complicated expression appeared on Stiel's face, "Because I gave birth to a girl."
Xu Yi was even more confused, "What's wrong with a girl?
Why are you sorry? "
Stiel slightly shook her head and closed her eyes, as if she didn't have the strength to speak.
Xu Yi looked at the people around the bed in surprise and found that only Agnes had a normal expression. The others, including Vivian, had a strained expression.
Xu Yi knit his brows. His heart skipped a beat as he suddenly understood.
After thinking about it, Xu Yi leaned over and kissed Stiel's cheek. Seeing Stiel open her eyes again, his eyes were firm as he said in a soft voice, "Stiel, I told you a long time ago that you don't need to worry about these meaningless things. I will make you feel at ease."
After saying this, Xu Yi stood up and opened his hands to the nurse on the side, "Where's my daughter?
Give her to me. As her father, I still haven't seen what she looks like. "
The nurse seemed to feel that the atmosphere in the room was a bit strange. She looked at Xu Yi and hesitated a bit before giving the baby in the cradle to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi took the tightly wrapped baby and opened the cloth over her head. Seeing that her face was wrinkled because she had just been born and her facial features hadn't even developed yet, she definitely couldn't be considered beautiful. There was a very complicated feeling that filled his heart.
This was his child?
After staring at his daughter's face for a while, Xu Yi finally took a deep breath. He looked up at Stiel on the bed and nodded to her. Then he looked at Great Magician Camilla who had come in and was standing by the bed. Finally he looked over everyone in the room and raised his daughter high up in his hands.
"Now, I announce ….."
