Chapter 820: Gu Xiaobao (18)
It took a while to placate Gu Xiaobao before he finally let go of his father and was taken away to see his younger sister.
Gu Xiaobao was shocked when he saw his younger sister.
A tiny child, bundled up, was lying in the incubator sleeping soundly.
However, she was red all over and slightly wrinkly since she was a newborn. In other words, it was miles away from the younger sister Gu Xiaobao imagined.
“Wahhh… why is she so ugly!!”
Why was she so ugly? She was so ugly it broke his heart.
Qi Yuefeng was so angry she laughed. “What ugly? Look at her features. Big eyes and a small mouth, she’s going to be a beauty. After a month when her features open up, your younger sister will look pretty.”
Although Gu Xiaobao was knowledgeable, there were still things about biology which he didn’t understand.
He was stunned that he didn’t understand the meaning of features opening up.
He thought about grandmother’s words for a while before the sobbing continued. “Why did Mom have to endure the pregnancy for so long to give birth to such an ugly younger sister…? How am I supposed to bring her out in the future?”
His eyes were rimmed in red, and he looked serious about his words.
Hilda and Helian Niancheng’s father were unsure if they should laugh or cry.
Gu Xiaobao had always been excessively concerned about appearances.
It was a relief that Gu Qingjiu wasn’t around. If she was, she would have reprimanded Gu Xiaobao.
Saying that your younger sister was ugly… But then, you were as ugly when you were young!
Now that she was born, it was time to think of a name for her.
Her official name was a little hard because there were many opinions.
On the other hand, her unofficial name was easy. Using the same inspiration from Gu Xiaobao’s name, her name would be Gu Xiaobei.
Combined, their names would be Baobei (Treasure). A convenient way to remember and call.
After a long time, it was Gu Qingjiu and Helian Niancheng who eventually decided the name.
Her English name would be Deborah while her Chinese name would be Helian Yumo.
Compared to his son’s name, Helian Niancheng spent considerably more effort picking a name for his daughter.
But Gu Xiaobao didn’t have time to argue with his father since he finally took back his biases against his younger sister. Now, the first thing he would do after kindergarten would be to see Gu Xiaobei.
Just like what Qi Yuefeng said, Gu Xiaobei’s features started to open up after a week.
She didn’t look as wrinkly.
But in Gu Xiaobao’s eyes, she was still as ugly.
They wondered if Gu Xiaobei would feel tiresome when she realizes that her older brother was an appearance freak.
Although he kept calling his younger sister ugly, he still kept asking for her every night.
And kept his mother and younger sister company when he had time.
After a month of rest from giving birth, Gu Xiaobei’s features started showing traces of her charm.
Not mentioning others, her eyes were doe-like–similar to Gu Xiaobao’s. Her eyes twinkled and her long lashes cast a shadow below.
However, Gu Xiaobei loved sleeping, much to Gu Xiaobao’s dismay.
Gu Xiaobei seemed to be sleeping constantly.
Gu Xiaobao asked his mother in confusion, “Mom, why is she always sleeping?”
“Your younger sister is too young, so she needs to rest to regain her energy.”
Gu Qingjiu coaxed, “When she grows bigger, she will be able to play with you.”
After the child’s birth, Gu Qingjiu’s symptoms disappeared, and her mood relaxed considerably.
After a month of rest, Helian Niancheng who had accompanied Gu Qingjiu for the past few months had to return to work. As for Gu Qingjiu, she would probably have to stay until Gu Xiaobei weaned.
