Chapter 4 Birth and Revenge
The day I was born was probably Ji Shijing’s most despairing day.
I heard the nurse ask Si Han several times, “Mother, where is your husband?”
Si Han replied, “He might have developed a fear of becoming a father. He’s been to the bathroom thirty times in an hour.”
Unfortunately, even if Ji Shijing flooded the toilet, I still had to be born.
“Waaah—”
Amid my loud cries, the nurse happily handed me to Ji Shijing.
“Congratulations, Ji Shijing. Your wife has given you a daughter.”
I carefully opened one eye to look at Ji Shijing.
He looked panicked.
He grabbed the nurse like he was having a seizure. “Nurse, do you think this child looks like me and my wife?”
The nurse froze for a second. “She… looks very much like you…”
Ji Shijing let out a breath and finally smiled. “That’s good. That’s good.”
I almost laughed out loud.
Would the nurse dare say otherwise?
Ji Shijing put me back in the bassinet and pushed the still-drowsy Si Han back to the private room.
While gently patting my back, he sighed, “Haha, my luck is really good. Lin Yi, you still failed! Hahaha, hahahaha—”
While the nurses were out handling the birth paperwork, I opened my eyes and gave Ji Shijing a 45-degree smile.
In a milky voice I said, “Grandson, Daddy’s here for revenge!”
Ji Shijing’s smile froze on his face.
He mechanically turned his head frame by frame to look at me. “You… said… what…”
Because I had just been born, my speech was a bit slurred. I repeated in a thick tongue, “Son, I am your dad—”
Before I finished, Ji Shijing stood up and tremblingly grabbed my neck.
“Lin Yi! You little brat, I’m your father now! Believe it or not, I’ll strangle you!”
I stuck out my tongue. “Strangle me. Do it now!”
Ji Shijing actually did it, unafraid of breaking my weak, fragile throat.
I burst into loud wails. “Waaah—waaah—waaah—”
The harder I cried, the harder Ji Shijing squeezed.
Eventually I had no strength left to make a sound.
I didn’t need a mirror to know my delicate little face had been pinched blue-black by this dog of a man.
“Hehe, die already!”
Ji Shijing prepared to increase the force again.
At the critical moment, Si Han suddenly woke up.
From who knows where she found the strength to rise from the delivery bed and kick Ji Shijing straight in the chest.
“If you break my sister’s wings, I will destroy your entire heaven.”
Me: “?”
Ji Shijing: “?”
