Chapter 624: Big Commotion
"Wah—wah—wah!"
The joy of the younger sister being born safely hadn't lasted long before the ordeal had already arrived.
Miss Luo Quan knew that newborns would cry, and the crying would be loud, but she hadn't expected it could be this loud.
This heart-wrenching long sound was exactly the same as when she sang "Eternal Love," shaking people's eardrums until they hurt.
She was a high-pitched diva, while the one in front of her was just a baby who had been born for less than twelve hours.
Could this also be a good seed for singing?
Miss Luo Quan didn't know; now she was already flustered by Luo Xi's highly penetrating crying.
"Wow, is the baby so active?" Erik, having finished his oxygen, returned to the ward, leaned over to the bedside, and lifted Luo Xi from his wife's hands.
"Haha, let Daddy hold you properly," Erik said, holding his little daughter and gently rocking her.
Luo Xi saw a new face, stopped crying slightly, and blinked her eyes, as if she were smiling.
But the next second, Luo Xi's mouth flattened, and she started howling again.
Miss Luo Quan had just breathed a sigh of relief, and her eardrums started trembling again.
"You were the same when you were young, crying even louder than your sister; back then, your father had to apologize to the neighbors every day," Aunt Luo Ni said, laughing and scolding when she saw her daughter like this.
"I remember you used to say I was very well-behaved and saved you a lot of worry?" Miss Luo Quan frowned and smiled awkwardly.
Aunt Luo Ni curled her lips: "That was after you were a year old; when you were just born, weren't you just as noisy? Besides, what baby under the sun doesn't cry?
This is just the beginning; wait until you are discharged and go home, that's what's truly worrying."
Speaking of this, Aunt Luo Ni recalled the time when Miss Luo Quan was just born.
Just as she said, there were no babies under the sun who didn't cry or make a fuss; crying suddenly in the middle of the night was the norm, and sometimes no matter how you coaxed them, they wouldn't stop.
After coaxing them, it might happen a few more times in a few hours.
Therefore, many parents often get insomnia or neurasthenia when they first start raising a baby, so it's not rare for them to quarrel.
Aunt Luo Ni and Erik didn't quarrel much, but that period was indeed quite agonizing.
Fortunately, it only lasted for about half a year to a year; once the baby adapted to the environment and formed habits, it would be much better.
Of course, there was definitely no good way now; they could only tough it out.
After tossing and turning for a long time, Aunt Luo Ni was now also very tired, and after drinking some hot porridge, she rested.
Luo Xi's first meal had already been fed; in order to avoid disturbing Aunt Luo Ni, Erik carried his little daughter to the ward next door.
Miss Luo Quan and Gao Liang also followed, and after turning off the phone flash, they took a photo of the baby first.
"Miss Luo Quan, do you want to hold your sister?" Erik coaxed his little daughter and turned to ask his eldest daughter.
"I don't know how to hold her," Miss Luo Quan refused with her mouth, but her body was actually quite willing, and her hands were already raised.
"Like me, support the buttocks with one hand and the back of the head with the other, and be careful to use the crook of your arm," Erik said while slowly handing Luo Xi to Miss Luo Quan.
Just in case, Miss Luo Quan exchanged for advanced infant care expertise in the mall, and her movements immediately became much more proficient.
"Ah eh—" Seeing a new face again, Luo Xi stared with bright eyes and made a joyful sound.
"So ugly," this was the first sentence Miss Luo Quan said when facing her sister.
The face of the newborn Luo Xi was wrinkled and uncoordinated, looking like a monkey; where was there any appearance of the most beautiful sister in the world?
"Weren't you the same when you were just born, even uglier than your sister?" Sure enough, having the small one meant forgetting the big one; Miss Luo Quan had just complained, and Erik started educating his daughter.
Gao Liang also stretched his head over, took a look, and said, "Was I this ugly when I was just born?"
Erik smiled helplessly: "She hasn't grown into her looks yet, what's the rush? Everyone looks like this when they are just born."
As if having been ruthlessly complained about by her sister and brother, Luo Xi, who had just smiled a few times, started crying again.
"Ah... I'm sorry Luo Xi, it's sister's fault, our Luo Xi is the most beautiful, you will definitely be more beautiful than anyone in the future," Miss Luo Quan apologized quickly and then rocked her while coaxing.
Gao Liang watched from the side with wide eyes, thinking to himself that his sister actually had quite a talent for raising babies; it belonged to being self-taught.
Don't say, being coaxed by Miss Luo Quan like this, Luo Xi actually stopped after wailing a few times.
Taking this opportunity, Miss Luo Quan quickly returned her sister to her dad.
It was already past three o'clock in the morning, but there was no such thing as rest in the hospital; it was always very bright.
After tossing and turning for a day, it finally settled down.
Although it was already late, Erik and Gao Liang, father and son, were both night owls, so their spirits were still quite good.
Mia went home when she saw there was no situation and would come over tomorrow morning.
Miss Luo Quan asked the nurse to arrange a ward and just made do on the hospital bed for the night.
She hadn't expected that New Year's Eve would be spent in the hospital.
When she got up the next day, it was already ten o'clock; coming to her mother's ward, she found her holding her sister and coaxing her.
"Where's Dad?" Miss Luo Quan didn't see anyone.
"The doctor said he had a panic attack from anxiety disorder; he should have gone to see a doctor to see if he needs to take some medicine," Aunt Luo Ni replied.
Miss Luo Quan knew about panic attacks, a symptom of anxiety disorder, manifested as a feeling of impending death, but in fact, it was just a problem with the nerves, and there was nothing wrong with the body.
However, because the lesion couldn't be found, it was not easy to treat.
Prenatal anxiety disorder like her dad's was indeed not uncommon; now that her mother and sister were safe, taking some medicine to adjust his mindset would be no problem.
There was a place in the hospital specifically for breakfast; Miss Luo Quan bought a sandwich and milk, eating while looking at her phone.
In the first dynamic of the morning, she posted a photo of her sister on Bilibili, with the text:
"Sister was born safely, welcome to this world."
A photo became the first hot topic on the Chinese internet in 2018.
"Miss Luo Quan's sister is born!"
Both Weibo and Bilibili trending searches topped the list, and the comment section was full of blessings.
The congratulations sent by Wen Xia, Junko, Yuner, and others were all pinned to the top of the comment section; besides that, there were blessings from some celebrities, which were pushed up by fans.
Although Miss Luo Quan didn't have much friendship with most of the people here, and hadn't even met them a few times, it was clear that they wanted to climb into a friendship with Miss Luo Quan.
Now in the entertainment industry, Miss Luo Quan was no longer just a singer or an actor.
As a director and screenwriter, she had filmed so many movies that had sold out, which was equivalent to mastering the ability to create stars, and stars who had influence on a global scale at that.
Such an up-and-coming director was definitely someone most celebrities were very eager to befriend.
Taking this opportunity was also to show goodwill; after all, Miss Luo Quan had revealed a while ago that a major Chinese production was about to start filming, and maybe if they showed their face, they would just happen to be chosen?
Regarding the blessings from domestic celebrities, Miss Luo Quan didn't care whether they were sincere or what, but the intention was good, and she replied to thank them one by one.
While she was typing, Luo Xi started crying again, still so energetic, and the sound was still outrageously loud.
At this time, Luo Xi's skin had completely grown out; although one couldn't tell anything from her facial features, her eyes were truly bright, sparkling, and her skin was as translucent as crystal.
Describing her as "powder-carved and jade-polished" was not an exaggeration at all.
It was just that she was too noisy, and her ears started to hurt too.
"She was just fed milk, why is she crying again?" Aunt Luo Ni also muttered, feeling puzzled.
However, newborns couldn't speak, and if they felt uncomfortable, they could only express it by crying.
And there were many reasons that would make a newborn feel uncomfortable, such as being wrapped too tightly, being held too lightly, being too full, or not being full enough.
In short, there were numerous reasons, and one definitely couldn't guess them.
Miss Luo Quan first confirmed whether the bedding was leaking air, and then looked at her complexion; there was no big problem.
She just wanted to cry, and there was no good way.
Then the mother and daughter took turns holding Luo Xi and coaxing her, and it lasted for a long time before she settled down.
"Giving birth to a baby is too tiring; it's ten months of pregnancy and level 12 pain, and it doesn't stop after birth," Miss Luo Quan used her arm as a cradle, trying to make her sister feel comfortable.
However, she was complaining with her mouth.
Aunt Luo Ni was quite optimistic and said with a laugh: "What can be done? Everyone has come through this way; besides, the world is not heaven, so she must come crying."
Miss Luo Quan sighed: "If I want a baby in the future, I'd rather adopt one."
Aunt Luo Ni frowned: "You girl, you can really think of such things; how can a biological one not be better than an adopted one?"
"That's not what I meant, and I didn't say I must raise a baby," Miss Luo Quan explained quickly.
Aunt Luo Ni sneered: "What, you still want to be a widow or lonely for a lifetime? Be careful that no one will send you off when you are old; when you are paralyzed or stupid, and wet your pants, there won't even be anyone to change your diaper."
"How could it be that miserable?" Miss Luo Quan almost laughed, "Besides, aren't there still several decades? There is plenty of time."
"Hmph, your father and I have already done what we should do; you and your brother are now considered successful in your careers, and we won't say much about how you walk your path in the future; just know how to grasp it yourself."
Aunt Luo Ni said, taking her little daughter from her eldest daughter's hands: "My next task is to cultivate Luo Xi well; if she likes reading, she will go to Tsinghua or Peking University in the future; if she likes playing, then let her grandfather build an amusement park for her."
Miss Luo Quan couldn't help but complain: "How can you spoil her like this? Building an amusement park, an amusement park costs a lot of money?"
"Daughters must be raised richly," Aunt Luo Ni had an expression that it was only right and proper, "I have suffered for half my life, I can't let my daughter suffer too."
"Then what about me? Didn't I suffer along with you?"
"You are so successful now, you are a musician and whatever else."
Miss Luo Quan was speechless: "Mom, you are really biased."
It was very helpless; the newborn sister snatched away all the love that belonged to Miss Luo Quan.
She used to be the only daughter, the one the whole family loved the most.
But now, the status had changed; the sister had become the one loved the most, and she seemed to have become a bit redundant.
Of course, she wouldn't go so far as to be jealous of her sister; it was just that she wasn't quite used to this change in family status.
At the same time, in another ward.
Erik was communicating seriously with his son: "After going back, I don't want to hear any rap stuff appearing in the house, whether it's yours or those friends of yours, AK, Uzi, all of them disappear for me!"
Gao Liang looked confused: "I do positive energy rap."
Erik waved his big hand: "Less of that, you think I haven't heard the freestyle you did in the underground competition, right?"
"That mouth that curses people is even more powerful than a shrew on the street; it doesn't look like a college student who has received higher education at all; what if your sister hears this?"
"She wouldn't understand it anyway," Gao Liang retorted in a low voice.
"Do you understand what 'influence' means?" Erik's eyes widened like copper bells, "When you are young is the easiest time to shape your worldview; if you come into contact with these things now, it's inevitable that you will develop an interest in the future."
"I don't want Judy to have dreadlocks, do hip-hop, and I don't want her to hang out on the street."
"What I want is for her to be like an ordinary girl and be interested in normal things, like your sister's pop music; if it's classical music, that would be even better."
Gao Liang continued to retort: "This is your naked discrimination against the unique culture of ethnic minorities; it's politically quite incorrect."
"Less of that with me; at my height, I am also an authentic English gentleman; your American political correctness can't reach my head."
"It doesn't matter if we talk about this usually, but whoever uses this to harm my daughter, then I won't care about that much."
"Understood, I will correct it immediately after going back." Seeing that his dad had signs of giving a speech, Gao Liang didn't dare to talk back and immediately chose to obey.
Additionally, he changed his phone ringtone for the first time.
His phone ringtone was a freestyle he did when he won the championship in the New York underground rap competition, a very... very dirty, but also witty rap that cursed people.
Because it was quite brilliant, it was honored in the industry as "eighteen sprays in one second," belonging to a personal medal.
But now, he definitely didn't dare to use this anymore; if his dad heard his "eighteen sprays in one second," his dad, who had learned boxing, would probably make him experience what "eighteen punches in one second" was.
Luo Xi's arrival not only had an impact on Miss Luo Quan but also on Gao Liang's status.
It was just that in terms of being miserable, Gao Liang was even more miserable, still remaining at the bottom of the family status.
Of course, the family didn't speak two languages; Gao Liang was also quite in favor of creating a healthy and harmonious environment for his sister to develop.
For this newborn little angel, he was looking forward to the process of her growing up.
As long as it was a choice that was good for her, it could be done.
Moreover, reducing the frequency of rap at home wasn't a difficult problem, and it couldn't even be called an excessive request.
It was just that the way his dad negotiated was quite excessive, looking like he would implement violence if they didn't cooperate.
Clearly, his dad hadn't been willing to hit him since he was a child, but after he became an adult, it was the other way around; he would talk about giving him heavy blows at every turn, which really made Gao Liang have bitterness he couldn't speak of.
However, for the family, these bitterness actually couldn't be called bitterness; it wouldn't be wrong to call it sweet.
Because Luo Xi's arrival was a huge joy for everyone. ===== CHAPTER 625 =====
