Just graduated, the aloof school flower brought the baby to the door? - Chapter 2

Chapter 2: The newborn baby is so ugly

Lin Yang stepped into the hospital.

To his surprise, it was crowded, and the elevators were packed. He resigned himself to climbing the stairs to the fourth floor.

After wandering around, he finally found Bed Twelve.

It was a double room, and the bed next to it was empty.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Shu Mengyao lying on the hospital bed, her face pale. Two small baby cribs were beside her.

The two infants lay there with their eyes closed, seemingly asleep.

The scene was overwhelming.

Even someone as composed as Lin Yang couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Wasn’t Shu Mengyao just pregnant? But now she had given birth—twins, no less!

Lin Yang swallowed nervously and sat down in the chair next to Shu Mengyao’s bed.

Everything felt surreal.

Shu Mengyao’s tear-streaked face turned toward him. “Lin Yang, do you remember the night of our college reunion in our junior year?”

Her voice was soft, tinged with exhaustion.

“Of course, I remember,” Lin Yang replied. “That night, a lot of strange things happened.”

He remembered it vividly—the mysterious events that unfolded during that unforgettable evening.

“I’m sorry, Lin Yang. The person who went back to the hotel with you that night was me.”

Shu Mengyao’s confession left Lin Yang stunned. “I was also quite drunk, and everything just happened naturally.”

“When I woke up, I was shocked. I was terrified, so I secretly saved your phone number and then disappeared.”

“I thought it was just a random night, and we wouldn’t have any further contact.”

“But a month later, I found out I was pregnant.”

Shu Mengyao’s emotions surged, tears streaming down her pale cheeks.

“I truly apologize, Lin Yang. I didn’t mean to deceive you. These babies are mine, and I can’t bear to terminate the pregnancy.”

“I initially thought I could raise the children on my own, deceive my parents, and secretly rent a place. But now I’m out of money.”

“I don’t want to burden you, but I can’t keep hiding this. I don’t know how to raise these two babies.”

Her guilt weighed heavily on her.

She hadn’t intended to seek Lin Yang out. She knew her decision was impulsive, and she had never discussed it with him.

It wasn’t fair to Lin Yang.

But she couldn’t afford to raise the twins alone. They were just born, and she could barely afford the hospital bills.

“Are you saying these two babies are mine?” Lin Yang struggled to digest the news.

Shu Mengyao being pregnant was already a bombshell. But now, he was apparently the father of twins!

That unforgettable night would forever be etched in his memory.

And he hadn’t told anyone about it.

Shu Mengyao’s detailed account confirmed that she was indeed the woman from that night.

He had considered countless possibilities and searched for answers for so long.

Never in his wildest dreams did he think the mysterious woman would turn out to be the school flower—the girl he had secretly admired for three years.

And now, she had just given birth to his children.

“Lin Yang, I know this is unfair to you. I called you here because I need to borrow some money. I can write an IOU for you.”

Shu Mengyao still felt embarrassed.

She worried that Lin Yang might think she was taking advantage of him.

But she had no other options.

Finally, Lin Yang managed to process everything. “If they are truly my children, then of course, I’ll take care of them.”

“However, I plan to do a paternity test first. What do you think?”

Lin Yang didn’t want to doubt Shu Mengyao, but the situation was too coincidental.

He knew this suggestion might offend her.

But Shu Mengyao surprised him by nodding in agreement. “You’re right. I support doing a paternity test.”

“Aren’t you angry? Don’t you think I don’t trust you?” Lin Yang felt uneasy.

“Why would I be angry?” Shu Mengyao weakly smiled. “If I were in your shoes, receiving a random call about having two babies, I’d probably react the same way.”

Lin Yang didn’t say anything. He headed straight to the paternity testing department.

Thankfully, he had brought his ID for graduation photos, which came in handy now.

After explaining the situation, they arranged for the paternity test.

For newborns, they collected oral swabs directly.

“Doctor, when can we expect the results?” Lin Yang asked.

“If you choose expedited service, it’ll be ready within twenty-four hours.”

The doctor’s expression remained indifferent. They had seen too many paternity tests in this department.

“How much does expedited service cost?”

“The urgent fee is one thousand yuan per sample.”

The paternity test itself costs two thousand four hundred yuan, and with the expedited service for two samples, the total is four thousand four hundred yuan.

Lin Yang quickly paid the fee, wincing at the expense.

Thankfully, his habit of saving money came in handy. He had about ten thousand yuan saved up, even though it pained him to spend it.

This matter needed a swift resolution to avoid prolonged uncertainty.

After completing the necessary steps, the sun had already set outside. The sky was bathed in golden hues.

Lin Yang returned to the hospital room, looking at the helpless school flower and the two babies beside her.

He walked over to the baby cribs.

“Why are these two babies so ugly? They don’t resemble you at all.”

Lin Yang furrowed his brow.

Shu Mengyao had flawless, fair skin.

Yet these two babies looked wrinkled, their little faces resembling folds on a steamed bun.

They were downright unattractive.

Coincidentally, a nurse arrived for a routine checkup. She overheard Lin Yang’s comment and chuckled.

“Newborns aren’t usually good-looking,” she said. “After soaking in their mother’s amniotic fluid for so long, their skin gets wrinkled. It’ll take at least a month for them to gradually look better.”

The nurse kindly explained to both of them.

“Is that so?”

Lin Yang nodded, still finding it hard to believe.

Could it be that Shu Mengyao was also this unattractive when she was born?

Seeing the school flower lying on the hospital bed, Lin Yang couldn’t fathom it.

Although the paternity test results hadn’t come in yet, there was a high probability that these two babies were his.

That night, Lin Yang decided not to leave. He stayed in the hospital, caring for Shu Mengyao and the two babies.

Shu Mengyao had just given birth and was physically weak. The responsibility of looking after the babies fell almost entirely on him.

The two infants were quite demanding.

As the night wore on, Lin Yang lost track of time.
