Just Graduated, the Aloof School Flower Brought the Baby to the Door?-Chapter 4 - Lin Yang, Can You Not Leave Me Behind?
Chapter 4: Lin Yang, Can You Not Leave Me Behind?
Shu Mengyao looked up at Lin Yang, then lowered her gaze to the soup.
Finally, she took a deep breath, as if making a determined decision.
Ignoring Lin Yang’s spoon, she simply brought the bowl closer.
In one gulp, she finished the entire bowl.
“Burp, I’m done,” Shu Mengyao said, her little face still wrinkled, her head held high.
She looked like she was seeking praise.
Drinking too quickly, there were still traces of soup at the corners of her mouth.
Her appearance was both cute and amusing.
Lin Yang couldn’t help but chuckle. He reached out his thumb and gently wiped the soup from her lips.
Suddenly, Lin Yang leaned in, making Shu Mengyao feel a bit nervous.
Her heart pounded, but she didn’t pull away.
She just sat there, dazed.
“How did drinking soup turn you into a little kitten?” Lin Yang’s voice carried a playful tone.
Shu Mengyao’s fair cheeks turned even redder.
Caught up in holding her breath while drinking, she hadn’t cared about her appearance.
She pouted but didn’t say anything.
Mostly because she felt shy.
It was the first time she’d been so careless about her image in front of a guy.
“Wang Chao mentioned that you haven’t been to school for half a year,” Lin Yang said, sensing Shu Mengyao’s unease and changing the topic casually.
Shu Mengyao sighed. “Yes.”
“At first, when I was pregnant, I didn’t feel much. I didn’t want a little life to be ruined in my hands.”
“During that time, I continued going to school. Although there were suspicions, I just said I gained some weight and managed to hide it.”
“But I was carrying twins, and my belly kept growing.”
“Later, I realized I couldn’t hide it anymore. So, I took a leave and rented a place outside.”
Shu Mengyao glanced at her own belly.
Thankfully, the babies were born smoothly.
All her efforts and persistence hadn’t been in vain.
Listening to Shu Mengyao’s casual descriptions, Lin Yang’s heart ached.

She had sacrificed so much to ensure the twins’ birth.
He held Shu Mengyao in his arms, gently patting her back.
“You’ve worked hard,” he said.
“Rest assured, from now on, I’ll be here. We’ll face everything together.”
His voice was low but serious.
He hadn’t known before, but he wouldn’t let Shu Mengyao suffer any more.
After hearing those words, tears welled up in Shu Mengyao’s eyes.
She had endured so much alone, too afraid to burden anyone else.
In this moment, she finally had a shoulder to lean on.
At first, she could only cry softly.
But later, tears fell like pearls, one after another, onto Lin Yang’s shoulder.
“Lin Yang, I’m glad to have you,” Shu Mengyao whispered, sincerely grateful.
In that moment, the tension she’d been holding snapped completely.
“Cough, I didn’t mean to disturb you two…” The nurse stood awkwardly at the door of the ward.
Caught between entering and leaving.
Finally, she cleared her throat to get Shu Mengyao and Lin Yang’s attention.
Shu Mengyao quickly sat up from Lin Yang’s embrace, wiping her tears haphazardly.
“Um…”
She wanted to say something but didn’t know what.
“It’s okay. New mothers tend to be emotionally sensitive,” the nurse reassured. “But your husband is really patient, soothing you slowly.”
The nurse smiled, unable to resist praising Lin Yang.
Earlier, she had peeked through the door and hadn’t expected this young couple to be so sweet.
In that instant, she felt like a stray dog kicked while doing her job.
Husband…
Shu Mengyao blushed and stole a glance at Lin Yang.
Surprisingly, he was looking at her too.
Their eyes met.
She quickly averted her gaze, but the term “husband” lingered in her mind, refusing to fade away.
“Nurse, is there anything we need to cooperate with?” Lin Yang and Shu Mengyao both tacitly avoided correcting the term.
“This is the routine check for newborns. I’ll take the babies to weigh them and perform some simple health checks,” the nurse explained, pushing the baby carriage.
She wanted to take the babies away.
“Um…”
Shu Mengyao’s gaze remained fixed on the babies.
She wanted to get up, but she didn’t have the strength.
“Do you want me to come along?” Lin Yang asked.
“It’s convenient to have me nearby.”
Lin Yang sensed Shu Mengyao’s worry and spoke up.
“Don’t worry, we’re professionals. We won’t lose track of your baby.”
“It’s almost noon. You can take this time to grab some food for yourself.”
The young nurse teased the new parents, who looked so concerned.
She had initially assumed that such young parents might lack responsibility, but they proved her wrong.
Her attitude became even warmer.
As she spoke, the nurse handed one of the baby strollers to her colleague, and they both wheeled the babies away.
With the babies gone, the neighboring bed remained unoccupied.
The room suddenly felt empty.
“Rest for a while. I’ll be back,” Lin Yang turned to leave but was stopped by Shu Mengyao tugging at his sleeve.
“Where are you going?” Shu Mengyao looked at him with pleading eyes.
“I’m going to get some food for you. I’ll be back soon,” Lin Yang patiently explained.
“Didn’t the nurse say that? I’ll take advantage of this time to get you some food without delaying taking care of the baby.” Shu Mengyao nodded reluctantly, though her hand still clung to his sleeve.
“Be good. I’ll be back in a bit,” Lin Yang gently stroked Shu Mengyao’s hair, which was soft and silky.
“Okay, Lin Yang, don’t leave me,” Shu Mengyao whispered.
“But really, I’m just going to get some food. I’ll be back shortly.”
“How about this? We’ll keep the video call on the whole time.”
“You can show me what you want to eat, and I’ll make sure to get it. Sound good?”
Lin Yang sensed that perhaps Shu Mengyao lacked security, especially after giving birth to their baby.
As a father and her partner, he wanted to do better.
He took out his phone and had Shu Mengyao open hers.
They exchanged WeChat IDs and initiated a video call.
Finally, Shu Mengyao’s small hand released its grip, and her face brightened with a smile.
While the ward wasn’t too crowded at the moment, Lin Yang hurried downstairs to the cafeteria.
“Lin Yang, I want that one.”
“Lin Yang, I’d like this too.”
Shu Mengyao pointed at the screen during their video call.
Lin Yang patiently prepared their meals, making sure to get something for himself as well.
He finished quickly, not even waiting for the elevator, and climbed back upstairs.
Shu Mengyao lay on the bed, her beautiful eyes fixed on the doorway.
When she saw Lin Yang’s figure, a smile bloomed on her face.
“Lin Yang, I’m so hungry.”
