Shen Liyan was born on New Year's Eve. Every household was brightly lit, and fireworks lit up the sky. He was born safely amidst everyone's celebration and his family's heartfelt anticipation.
"Congratulations, it's a boy. According to the differentiation instrument, there's a high probability that this little guy will differentiate into an Omega."
"Everyone, adults and children, is safe and sound. This little guy really knows how to pick his days; from now on, every Lunar New Year's Eve will not only have New Year's Eve dinner, but also little cakes, hahaha..."
When the doctor came out carrying the wrinkled little baby, everyone who was waiting stood up. Lu Liuru was the first to rush over, even Shang Shujue was a step behind.
Everyone else had already seen through Lu Liuru's feelings for Shen Lanting, but he hid them very well in front of Shen Lanting and acted very subtly, so Shen Lanting was unaware of them.
"You must be the child's Alpha father. Quick, give the baby a hug! This little guy probably smelled your pheromones; his little hands keep reaching towards you."
The doctor didn't know the truth, but he smelled the Alpha pheromones on Shen Lanting. Although it was only a little, it was enough to prove that the Alpha in front of him had a close relationship with the Omega inside.
Lu Liuru didn't correct the doctor. He clumsily and carefully took the child into his arms. The little guy, who had been crying, seemed to smell a familiar scent and stopped crying in his arms. His little mouth moved as if he wanted to drink milk.
"Doctor, when will the adult be out? I'm his brother, is he alright?"
Shang Shujue finally came to his senses and came over to talk to the doctor. The doctor then talked to him about Shen Lanting's various physical indicators and told him how to take care of Shen Lanting.
Song Yanqing glanced at Lu Liuru and noticed that Lu Liuru's eyes were slightly red as he looked at the baby in his arms. Then he stared intently at the operating room, seemingly extremely nervous and excited, with veins bulging on his neck.
It's a night for family reunion, Shen Lanting went into labor very quickly. Before the family could even react while they were eating, Lu Liuru had already grabbed the hospital bag and other necessary items.
He scooped Shen Lanting up and rushed into the SUV. His reaction speed was so fast that he and Shang Shujue almost couldn't keep up, but luckily they did.
Everyone in the family except Omega's grandfather and Little Azhi came to the hospital, fearing something might have happened. Now that the child and adults are safe, they are finally relieved.
"Brother, let Mom hold the baby. You're strong, and there will be things we need you to do later."
As soon as Song Yanqing finished speaking, Lu Liuru to wake up from a dream. She pursed her lips and turned around. Seeing that everyone was looking at him with complicated eyes, she unconsciously lowered her eyes and handed the child over to Song Yanqing's Omega mother.
"This child is robust; he'll definitely be one of the top Omegas on the grasslands someday. The men of our grasslands will probably be fighting over him from now on."
"Hahaha... This child is good-looking, just like his Omega father. He's a good kid. Growing up on our grasslands, he should have a free and unrestrained soul..."
"Yes, yes, look at his little hands, they're so cute! This little guy is such a good boy."
The elders looked at the baby and discussed his future. Shen Lanting was wheeled out; he was a little weak, but he didn't fall asleep.
He glanced at Lu Liuru with a complicated expression, then looked away at his younger brother Shang Shujue, and asked, "Where's the child?"
"The child is here. Xiao Ting, you've worked hard. Come on, let's go back together. I'll tell you something private. Xiao Jue is coming too; this is all from experience."
Seeing this, the Omega mother quickly showed him the baby, then placed the baby in his arms, saying she would teach him how to breastfeed the baby later. Shang Shujue was called upon, exchanged a glance with Song Yanqing, and followed.
Then Shang Shujue saw a scene that shocked and shocked him: Omegas even... produced breast milk? Nuomi saw his dumbfounded expression and manually closed his mouth.
[Host, just by looking at you, I know you haven't properly studied the world's setting or the physiology lessons I sent you! Humph!]
But it doesn't matter. Even if you are an Omega, it's impossible for you to have a child in this world with both your and Song Yanqing's bloodlines, so you won't experience that.
Shang Shujue fell silent after hearing this. Is being unable to have children the same as not wanting to have children?!
Why can't I have children?
[ The World Law forbid it; you can't have children. You two are outsiders, mainly here to change Shen Liyan's fate. If you really want to raise a child, adopt one like you did in the last world.]
[...]
Shang Shujue stopped making a fuss. Fine, since it's against the World Law, there's nothing more to say. As long as there's nothing wrong with him, he still has his pride.
" Xiao Jue, have you learned it?" Omega Mom suddenly looked at Shang Shujue and asked the profound question.
"Mmm, I've learned it all! Let me see Xiao Yan, oh my god, he's so cute! He's as good-looking as me! He's so adorable! What do you want to eat later, I'll buy it for you and bring it up."
Shang Shujue immediately nodded and leaned closer, pretending to understand. Then she looked at Shen Liyan, who was nestled in his father's arms, behaving very well and receiving a lot of praise from Shang Shujue.
"What are we buying? It's Xiye, which shops are still open? I'll just go home and pack some bone broth to bring over. After Xiao Ting finishes eating, she can rest well, and the baby can have formula first."
"Yes, thank you, Auntie. Please also thank Brother Lu for me; I'm very grateful that he was able to get here in time."
Hey~ We're all family, no need for formalities.
When Shen Lanting mentioned Lu Liuru, his feelings were still somewhat complicated. He had always thought that Lu Liuru took good care of him because of Lu Xingzhi, Song Yanqing, and Shang Shujue's relationship, but now he realized that wasn't the case.
He already has a mark on his glands, and even if the person who marked him has heroically sacrificed themselves, he will not change or wash off the mark. Even if he can only rely on inhibitors and drugs to get through the rest of his life, he does not plan to find an Alpha again.
But Lu Liuru... his feelings were not a passing fancy, but a steadfast choice. He liked him, but also respected him immensely.
He didn't want any official title, nor did he try to express his feelings or ask for anything in return; he simply took care of him silently...
Such feelings were too intense for Shen Lanting to respond to, and she didn't know how to refuse them either, so she could only pretend that she knew nothing.
Regardless of Shen Lanting's thoughts, they are now safe and sound, having been discharged from the hospital after a two-week stay.
Lu Xingzhi finally met his beloved little brother. He cautiously reached out to touch his brother's hand, and when his fingers were grasped, they felt soft and warm, and he blushed.
" Uncle Ting, my little brother... he's so cute, I want to protect him for the rest of my life!"
"Hehehe~ Then Uncle thanks you on behalf of my brother."
Shen Lanting was as gentle as ever. Lu Xingzhi, his face flushed, his eyes filled with determination. Little Shen Liyan, oblivious to everything, was asleep again...
