Chapter 68.1 (1/2)

Xiao Tangqiu paused for a moment, subconsciously watching the couple in front of him. They were a very young couple. They were obviously novice parents having a baby for the first time. The man looked nervous and the woman looked pained.

He took a step back quickly, “Sorry, hurry in.”

The man quickly helped his wife to walk into the building. Xiao Tangqiu looked towards Xue Junli, “Should we follow them?”

Another NPC who took the initiative to talk to them was clearly the signs of the plot unfolding!

Xue Junli looked at the Miko. Kisaragi had returned to that indifferent stance since entering the hospital. She stood between the patients coming and going without care.

He paused before speaking solemnly, “Follow them.”

Xiao Tangqiu quickly followed. As soon as he stepped into the hospital building, a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling suddenly overcame him.

Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help but freeze. In that moment, endless memories came to mind. Ever since that car accident seven years ago, unless it was a serious injury or serious illness, he had been careful to avoid hospitals. He would rather go to an apothecary or pharmacy to deal with it himself than to step through the doors of a hospital… Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but glance at Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan caught his gaze, and returned a questioning look asking what’s wrong.

Xiao Tangqiu shook his head, smiled and said, “It’s nothing, be careful, I have a bad feeling.”

Tang Mianmian was immediately scared and yelled, “Qiuqiu, stop jinxing us!”

Xiao Tangqiu, “…If I don’t speak, then things won’t happen?”

Tang Mianmian, “.”

Xiao Tangqiu, “Shut up and stay alert.”

There were people coming and going in the hospital building no matter what time it was. The young man walked through the crowd and grabbed a nurse, “Miss Nurse, my wife is about to give birth!”

The nurse glanced at the man and the pregnant woman nearby, nodded hastily, and turned to make arrangements.

The man was circling in worry but still tried to comfort the woman. Xiao Tangqiu kept guarding the couple while quietly observing the surrounding environment… Everything seemed normal, at least for now.

Just like before, no one noticed them. None of the doctors and patients who came and went seemed to have noticed the inexplicable presence of this group of outsiders. They were all doing their own things and going through their lives in their own world. For them, this day was probably just another ordinary day, and everything was no different from usual.

Only outsiders like Xiao Tangqiu and co knew — today was the most “special” day in their lives, and it would change all their lives.

At this moment, several nurses came pushing the bed, “Where is the pregnant woman?”

The young man immediately helped his wife onto the bed with the help of the nurses. He clutched the pregnant woman’s hand tightly, “Don’t be scared, I will always be by your side.”

The pregnant woman’s expression was tense with pain, but at the same time full of maternal glow and tenderness, “I am not scared, I am not scared at all.”

The nurses soon pushed the mother to the obstetrics ward, and Xiao Tangqiu and co immediately followed.

Along the way, they met children who were crying loudly, old patients, family members with sad faces, recovered patients&#k2026; In just a few minutes, they saw birth, old age, sickness, death, the vicissitudes of life. Finally they arrived at the obstetrics ward.

The nurses rushed the mother into a delivery room and the young man anxiously followed.

Xiao Tangqiu and co obviously couldn’t follow into the delivery room, they could only wait outside.

Several husbands who were accompanying their wives were dizzy with worry outside the delivery rooms. Tang Mianmian followed them in pacing for a while and suddenly said to Xiao Tangqiu, “How come I feel like we are just like those husbands waiting for their wives to give birth outside the delivery room.”

Xiao Tangqiu said, “Then you should practice in advance, lest you get caught off guard when you really need to wait for your wife to give birth.”

Tang Mianmian silently raised his head to look at the ceiling, “Let’s talk about it after returning to the real world…”

Xiao Tangqiu said casually, “Maybe you can find one in the City of the Abyss.”

Tang Mianmian said quietly, “Me, look for a wife in the City of the Abyss? Does the City of the Abyss have chicks who are weaker than me? If so, please be sure to introduce me. If you find a tough chick — let’s not even talk about if they’ll put me in their eyes — even if they take a liking to me, if the time comes, I won’t even know if the one giving birth will me or her.”

Xiao Tangqiu thought to himself, can a girl even have fierce enough fighting powers to make Tang Mianmian pregnant?

Tang Mianmian suddenly said, “But of course, I’m still better than you, Qiuqiu. If you want to find someone in the City of the Abyss, you will definitely be the one below, whether it’s a man or a woman.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he keenly perceived a death glare aimed at him, and he immediately shrank back, “Ahem… But Qiuqiu, you already have god Shen Yuan, so don’t worry about it! Whether it’s a great god or a great goddess, the one who can protect you is a good god!”

Shen Yuan coldly humphed.

Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help but laugh. He quickly pulled Shen Yuan to sit down on the chairs outside the ward and handed over a piece of candy, “Alright, now it’s rare to be able to take a breather, eat something. Are you tired?”

“Not tired.”

Shen Yuan shook his head but still took the candy Xiao Tangqiu handed over, peeled off the wrapper, and ate it.

Xiao Tangqiu thought about it. This guy, Shen Yuan… actually didn’t seem to have done any heavy work. He just followed him from start to finish, at most he helped him out when he made a mistake. Shen Yuan didn’t exert much effort at all, it would be strange if he could be tired!

Where was the promised carry from the great god? How did he end up completely slacking off?
