Chapter 44: 44 Lin Yi's Silence
Lin Yi fell silent for a moment, his brows slightly furrowed as he asked, "Does it hurt?"
Han Xuewei was slightly startled, and hurriedly said, "Ah... It's actually not that painful, it just occasionally tugs when I walk, it's almost ten days now, and the wound is healing at the moment. Besides the itchiness, there's nothing else."
Lin Yi said, "It's good it's not that painful."
With that, he slowly twisted open the bottle cap of the iodine, soaked a cotton swab for a while, and then gently wiped Han Xuewei's wound.
Lin Yi knew in his heart, saying it didn't hurt was just a lie.
This cut was at least 15 centimeters long, it must have needed quite a few stitches when it was sewn!
Lin Yi wiped the wound very carefully, and from time to time he would blow on it gently.
Han Xuewei looked at her husband with deep affection, deeply moved by his actions. As she watched, she even occasionally laughed out loud.
These past few days, she had always told herself that she truly married the right person!
Not only had she found a good husband, but she also had such wonderful in-laws!
And not to mention how adorable the three babies were!
She even had this feeling that she was the happiest person in the world!
After cautiously finishing cleaning the wound, Lin Yi wrapped it with gauze.
"Wife, the gauze is changed," Lin Yi said with a serious face.
"Okay!" Han Xuewei instinctively responded, then quietly watched as Lin Yi helped her pull up her pants, adjusted her clothes properly, and then thoughtfully covered her with the blanket.
"Wife, do you feel a bit tired breastfeeding the babies during this time?"
Lin Yi lay down next to her and asked in a soft voice.
"Not particularly tired, sometimes I lack enough sleep, but actually, I really enjoy breastfeeding. I really like the process."
"Oh? Really?" Lin Yi became curious.
"Yes."
Lin Yi pondered for a moment, then finally said what he had been thinking for a long time, "Wife, what I'm thinking is, should we stop breastfeeding for a while? The babies can actually be fed formula because I see you getting up in the wee hours every day to feed them. I always feel you're working too hard, and I hope you can get some good sleep, at least rest well every day."
Han Xuewei quickly explained, "Husband, don't worry about me, I'm really not very tired. And even if we only had one baby, I would insist on breastfeeding. By now, I really love the little ones, so I want to let them have more breast milk, to be closer to me."
"It doesn't matter if I'm a bit tired. As long as the babies are well, no matter how hard or tiring, I will accept it."
Lin Yi nodded and said, "Breast milk indeed is irreplaceable! It truly is the best choice for the babies' development. Even though the babies' immunity is improved, watching you work so hard day and night to feed the three of them, not even getting enough sleep, makes me feel bad!"
Lin Yi paused, then continued, "I understand the principle, but I still don't want to see you suffer or get overly tired. Promise me, no matter what, your health is the most important. I must find a way to help you recover as soon as possible."
"And I still want to hold your hand and go back to campus with you! To attend the graduation ceremony!"
Han Xue smiled and said, "I'm very happy that you care for and look after me so much. But husband, perhaps you can't understand a mother's genuine love for her children. It's this profound love that strongly drives me to want to breastfeed. Even when I'm feeding them, I feel not that tired at all, any bad mood just dissipates."
"And didn't you say that we would only want these three babies? We won't have any more after this. If that's really the case, then I want to cherish the opportunity to breastfeed them."
Lin Yi leaned closer to his wife and then wrapped his arms around her, saying, "I'm all ears to you! As long as you're willing, I will definitely agree to your requests. The reason I don't want more babies is that I'm afraid it's too exhausting for you. But if you really love little babies and want to have another one in a few years, I will still support your choice, okay?"
Suddenly, the room was filled with an intimate atmosphere.
The couple embraced each other, discussing whether or not to have more babies in the future while under the covers, and it must be said that this scene certainly led to some fanciful thoughts.
With such a beauty with a stunning appearance lying next to anyone, who could resist?
Lin Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath, trying to control the desire he felt for his wife.
But just then, Han Xuewei took the initiative to move closer, gently kissing Lin Yi's lips!
Lin Yi instantly felt warmth in his heart, his entire body seemingly electrified, and in the quiet surroundings, I could hear his thunderous heartbeat.
"Wife, don't be naughty!"
His wife had just given birth not long ago, and she was in her postpartum period now; he couldn't do anything impulsive!
No matter what, it was absolutely not negotiable! This was an immovable line!
But if his wife kept teasing him like this, it would be hard for him, a grown man, to guarantee he could always keep under control!
What should he do?
Lin Yi kept reminding himself in his heart that he must not act recklessly!
"Okay, I'll stop teasing you!" said Han Xuemei, and she then hugged Lin Yi's arm tightly.
Lin Yi didn't dare to say a word, just looking at his wife, afraid that saying a few more words might really cause him to lose control!
He lay quietly, allowing his wife to hug his arm tightly; he could already feel his wife's soft body pressed closely against his.
My goodness!
Who could endure this?
Having a virtuous and upright beauty with a goddess-like face and a svelte figure lying next to oneself while sleeping! Nobody would be able to control themselves, right!
Okay, okay, I can't keep thinking about this!!
Lin Yi tried to calm his restless emotions and honestly held his wife as he drifted off to sleep.
In the middle of the night, Han Xuewei also woke up several times from her dreams, going to the bathroom as well as to store milk for the baby. Then she returned to the bedroom, exhausted, and fell into a deep sleep once she lay down.
Lin Yi was very affectionate towards his wife—the truth is, he sincerely didn't want Han Xuewei to be so tired every day, and the baby formula he bought for the child was top-notch, so there was no worry about nutritional issues.
However, Han Xuewei insisted on breastfeeding, perhaps to fulfill her maternal responsibilities completely! Moreover, it's been said in books that breastfeeding is good for both the mother and baby.
If a mother breastfeeds her child, it helps her figure return to its pre-pregnancy state in a short time and is also beneficial for the uterus.
