Chapter 1 Landing and Putting the Box in the Box
"Waaaaah—"
Chen Lang was awakened by a burning pain in his buttocks.
I instinctively opened my mouth, only to hear myself cry out a loud baby's cry.
What's going on?
He tried to open his eyes, but found his eyelids were very heavy. He struggled to open them even slightly.
All I could see was a blurry blur of light and shadow; everything was distorted and out of shape.
I couldn't use my hands or feet at all, and I couldn't even turn my head.
All I could hear was a cacophony of noises coming in.
The clanging sound of metal instruments colliding.
The hurried clatter of footsteps.
Someone was shouting loudly in an urgent tone.
"...massive bleeding..."
"...My blood pressure is dropping..."
"...Quickly, get ready..."
Soon, he felt himself being lifted up and placed in warm water.
His body was roughly wiped clean and wrapped in a soft cloth.
The next moment, Chen Lang felt himself being placed in a small, translucent box, with the sounds of other babies crying nearby.
A nameless panic welled up inside me.
The feeling of being trapped in a coffin made his heart pound.
A woman's voice sounded beside him, and he immediately shifted his attention to listen.
"The pregnant woman had an accident on the way and was rushed here."
"The baby was born prematurely, only about eight months old, but the weight is okay. Let's observe him for a while."
"It's good enough if we can keep it; we don't know what the situation is with the adults."
I was born prematurely at eight months old.
Chen Lang recalled his memories before he regained consciousness.
I was working on a project all night when I suddenly experienced severe heart pain and then lost consciousness.
Then, there was that slap on the butt.
So, I've become... a baby?
A premature newborn baby? Placed in an incubator after birth?
After realizing his situation, Chen Lang felt relieved.
He lost consciousness again in a daze.
The baby's body is extremely sleepy, and he is constantly switching between being awake and drowsy.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Chen Lang felt much more at ease knowing that he had moved from the box to a more spacious place.
"Shen Jingfang! How dare you show your face here!"
"Give Xiaoqin back to us!"
Chen Lang was awakened by a woman's cursing voice coming from very close by.
The woman's voice was filled with anger, grief, and a strong sob.
"You heartless bastard!"
"She's carrying your child, where are you? She's all alone with her big belly, where are you?"
"Now that you've given birth, you've come running here? Where were you all this time?!"
A hoarse male voice rang out, his tone full of suppressed emotion.
"Brother, sister-in-law, please let me... let me see her."
"Look? What are you looking at! What right do you have to look!"
"If it weren't for you, would Xiaoqin have gotten into this mess? Why didn't you answer her calls? Huh?"
"I……"
"You're a coward! A spineless coward! Xiaoqin must have been blind to have fallen for you!"
Chen Lang lay on the small bed, listening quietly.
There's a lot of information, but you can roughly sort things out.
This man named Shen Jingfang must be her adoptive father.
The one they called Xiaoqin was their own mother.
From what I can tell, Mom was pregnant, Dad disappeared, wasn't there when she gave birth, and now that she's gone, he's rushed back in a panic.
Meanwhile, the stepfather, who had been verbally abused, was being confronted at the door by his wife's relatives.
What a lucky start!
The argument continued, but Shen Jingfang seemed to have given up trying to defend herself, leaving only the curses and cries of her relatives.
After a while, Shen Lang felt himself being lifted up by a pair of slightly trembling large hands.
A strong smell of smoke entered my nose.
He struggled to open his heavy eyelids, and a blurry face came into view.
Only a general outline can be seen, with a noticeable stubble around the chin.
He couldn't see the other person's features clearly, but he could clearly feel that an unyielding sadness shrouded that face.
Shen Jingfang held him like that, motionless, for a very long time.
"child……"
From now on, your name will be Chen Lang.
"My name is Shen Jingfang, and I am your father."
Shen Jingfang paused for a moment, her voice choked with emotion.
"Your mother... is named Chen Qin."
When Chen Lang heard the name Chen Qin, he could clearly feel the man holding him trembling slightly.
The sense of self-blame and regret emanating from him grew stronger.
Does she take her mother's surname?
Chen Lang sighed inwardly.
Well, I'm used to it.
I was an orphan in my past life.
In this life, I was born into a single-parent family.
My luck is truly unbelievable.
"Jingfang, please accept my condolences."
A deep, steady male voice sounded from the side.
"The dead cannot be brought back to life. What you need to do now is take good care of the child, which is also what Xiaoqin would like to see."
"Shaokang..."
"I'm too ashamed to see her... I'm too ashamed..."
Shen Jingfang's voice was filled with painful murmurs.
Give him to me!
The shrill female voice rang out again, and a hand reached out and snatched Chen Lang from Shen Jingfang's arms without saying a word.
"You have no right to hold him! Xiaoqin's son is none of your business!"
"sister in law……"
"Get out! I don't want to see you!"
Chen Lang felt himself being held tightly in a soft embrace, which made him feel uncomfortable.
However, he was soon put back on the bed.
A strong feeling of hunger swept over me.
It felt like countless tiny hands were scratching inside my stomach, leaving me feeling empty and burning.
He couldn't help but open his mouth and burst into uncontrollable crying again.
"Wow... Wow wow..."
"The child is hungry."
A nurse nearby subconsciously offered a reminder.
"So the new mother...sigh...has to feed her formula."
Everyone paused for a moment.
There are no more pregnant women left.
"Baby powder... baby powder..."
Shen Jingfang suddenly came to her senses and paced back and forth, muttering to herself.
Aside from the smell of smoke, there was nothing on him.
It was clear that he had come in a hurry, his mind was blank, and he hadn't thought about these things at all.
"I'll go buy it now!"
He turned and was about to run away.
"No."
The man named Shao Kang grabbed him.
"I have some here."
He picked up a large bag from the chair in the corner.
"Xiaoli gave birth today too, and everything is ready."
As he spoke, he took a tin can out of his bag.
"She had a daughter named Anfeng, nicknamed Qianqian."
The man's tone carried a hint of fatherly joy, but after glancing at Shen Jingfang, he quickly suppressed it.
Shao Kang, An Feng, Xi Xi?
Chen Lang's crying paused for a moment.
Why do these names sound so familiar?
An Shaokang handed the milk powder can to Shen Jingfang.
"Look, this is a big brand, Sanlu (a type of fried dough), I had someone bring it back from Shijiazhuang."
Three times... milk powder.
boom!
Chen Lang instantly felt his head buzzing.
