Chapter 1221: Chapter 590 What Does It Feel Like to Be a Father?_3

The power plant, at a minimum, will need one year.

So the first super-strong Z-wave experiment was also conducted under the drive of a large number of generators, and just thinking about the energy supply gives one a headache.

The large-scale Z-wave experiment team is still waiting for the equipment and perfecting the anti-gravity device.

Zhao Yi had some spare time, so he went to the experimental group once, arranged the related work, and quickly returned to the capital.

He received some good news.

"What? Pregnant?" Zhao Yi exclaimed in surprise when he heard the news, then looked around and took a deep breath before asking, "Are you sure?"

Lin Xiaoqing’s voice came from the other end, "Of course, I’ve had two check-ups."

"Good, good!"

Zhao Yi’s tone seemed to indicate he was extremely excited, but in reality, his feelings were somewhat complicated.

A child?

He was going to have a child?

At that moment, he didn’t know whether to feel happy, excited, or something else — it was just very complicated.

Two lifetimes, and this was the first time he was having a child.

Zhao Yi returned home with very mixed feelings and saw Liu Jing and Zhao Hongjuan, who had rushed over upon hearing the news.

"How could you not stay at home for such a big event, still running outside, you just work all day, not taking care of the family at all," Liu Jing nagged when she saw Zhao Yi.

"Ha, ha."

Faced with his mother’s nagging, Zhao Yi could only laugh awkwardly.

Liu Jing and Zhao Hongjuan came to take care of Lin Xiaoqing. Both Zhao Yi and Lin Xiaoqing were only children, so one could imagine how excited they were to hear about the baby.

With both of them taking meticulous care, plus housekeepers, assistants, and security at the house, one could imagine how well Lin Xiaoqing was taken care of.

Zhao Yi described it as, "You seem to have become disabled."

Of course, he only dared to say that to Lin Xiaoqing.

It was indeed the case.

The bathroom floor was a bit slippery, so putting mats all over was understandable, but needing support to take the elevator down was another story.

Was it fear that the elevator might suddenly malfunction and fall vertically?

Zhao Yi stomped his feet vigorously in the elevator to make sure it was very safe.

Very good!

When staying at home, most of the time, he accompanied Lin Xiaoqing, who, being pregnant, needed even more company. Together, they went to the nearby park and from afar, saw a familiar figure.

"That chubby one——"

"Huang Wenqian!"

Zhao Yi glanced and directly said the name but kept staring at the slightly chubby figure next to her, "Li Renzhe?"

"Zhao Yi?"

Li Renzhe turned his head in surprise and, holding Huang Wenqian’s hand, walked over. They also had a little girl about three years old with them.

"Rui’er, say hello to your godfather!" Li Renzhe quickly called out.

Zhao Yi had seen Li Rui’er a few times, mostly when she was just over a year old. It had been nearly a year since he last saw her.

Now three, Li Rui’er’s cute little face looked very adorable. She glanced at Zhao Yi and said softly and shyly, "Godfather."

"Good girl!"

Zhao Yi immediately smiled, reached into his pocket, and realized he hadn’t brought any money when leaving the house, so he simply took out his keys, removed a small jade figure from them, and handed it to Li Rui’er, "Here, Rui’er, this is your gift, take it."

"No way!"

"It’s too valuable!"

Huang Wenqian and Li Renzhe hurriedly tried to intercept, not knowing how much the jade figurine cost, but they could tell from the material that it was expensive.

"It’s just a trinket."

Zhao Yi said nonchalantly, "Speaking of which, I’m really embarrassed that I haven’t given Rui’er any gifts since she was born as her godfather."

"Godfather, it’s just a joke," Li Renzhe said.

"You call me godfather and I treat it as a joke!" Zhao Yi gave him a stare, then laughed and said, "Haven’t seen you for half a year, and look at that figure of yours, not bad."

"Zhao Yi, you can’t rub salt in the wound!" Li Renzhe said dejectedly, "It’s all Wen Qian’s mom, always cooking delicious food."

"Die of happiness, why don’t you!"

They chatted and found out that Huang Wenqian was also pregnant and had come out to the park for a walk.

"Congratulations!"

"And congratulations to you too!"

The two men congratulated each other and walked along the riverside, eventually sitting on a bench, both of them looking somewhat troubled.

Li Renzhe looked back at Huang Wenqian and remembered the scenes from a few years back. He had just graduated from college, staying with a "girlfriend whose breakup time was unknown," just renting a room to live together.

But...

How did they suddenly have a child? How did they end up getting married on the spot?

So weird!

Now with a second child on the way, there was no turning back in life!

"Sigh!"

Li Renzhe sighed deeply.

Zhao Yi asked, "Renzhe, what’s it feel like to be a father?"

"Tiring!"

"Ah?"

"What else? It’s tiring," Li Renzhe said matter-of-factly, "You don’t know, man, changing diapers, not sleeping well, your free time gets taken up by the kid. Just think, I haven’t played games for two years."

"Now Wen Qian keeps talking about enrolling in all sorts of classes, sports, English, building blocks, you name it, seems like everything requires some training, it’s driving me nuts. I don’t have any time for myself."

"We thought about hiring a nanny, with her mom and my mom taking turns, but nannies are too expensive. After asking around, it’s about ten thousand a month, almost the same as my salary."

"Now with the second child coming, life’s just getting tougher."

Li Renzhe vented his frustrations.

Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment before continuing, "Anything else?"

"What else?" Li Renzhe said, "Having kids is nice, they’re fun, gives you a feeling of having the next generation, like you’ve completed a mission. And well, looking at the kids just feels very close, very lovable. But the main feeling is—"

He shook his head repeatedly.

Zhao Yi nodded along, "Hearing you say this, I feel relieved."

"What?" Li Renzhe looked puzzled.

Zhao Yi slowly stood up, unintentionally showing off a watch, which even at a glance, was clearly not ordinary, and a closer look at the brand revealed even more.

Definitely, very luxurious.

He laughed and added, "Thanks to you, I feel much better now, because, luckily, I won’t have those troubles, just the fun and the family to enjoy."

"Get lost!"

Li Renzhe spat out angrily, "Damned capitalist!"
