Chapter 738 - 736: Finale + Extra_3

Chapter 738: Chapter 736: Finale + Extra_3 If we are to leave, let’s leave together. If we are to live, let’s live together, and if we are to die, let’s die together.

At this moment, after Xia Xiao closed her eyes, Gao Jiaxing opened his deep-set eyes and gazed at Xia Xiao. Unconsciously, his grip tightened once more; then he pressed his cheek against hers, feeling each other’s faint breaths. Slowly he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep once again.

This time, the two of them never woke up.

Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao left this world together at the age of one hundred and eight.

They died in their sleep with smiles on their faces, hands clasped together, their expressions blissful and peaceful. Without illness or pain, they left no words for their children and grandchildren.

At their age, there was less they could express, but after living for over a century, they no longer needed words to understand each other completely.

Sharing the same blanket in life, and the same resting place in death.

A lifetime of companionship, and a promise to meet in the next life.

Extra Story

Inside the high-end maternity room of the hospital, the doors were tightly shut, and not a sound could be heard from outside.

Right now, there were quite a few people waiting anxiously outside the delivery room. Some couldn’t help but pace back and forth, restless.

"Yuchen, Ning Yuan, stop walking around; you’re making my head spin," Xi Shanyue, almost sixty but well-maintained, said with a temperament of elegance that couldn’t be hidden despite her lack of overt adornment.

Gao Yuchen was the youngest son of Xi Shanyue and Shitou, and they had an older daughter who often went on archaeological digs and rarely stayed at home.

Currently in the delivery room, Xi Shanyue’s daughter-in-law was giving birth, whowas Tang Yun’s daughter, Tangtang.

Four families were waiting outside the maternity room, not only the Gao family but also the Tang Family, the Ning Family, and the family of the old leader.

The leader’s granddaughter, Hua Fangyu, married Ning Hui’s grandnephew, Ning Yuan. Hua Fangyu and Tangtang, who were close friends, were pregnant around the same time. While together shopping, they encountered an elevator malfunction that shocked them both, and both babies were in a rush to enter the world.

Shitou wasn’t present, but when Xi Shanyue received the call, she immediately came to wait and asked the housekeeper to quickly bring all the necessary items for the mother and baby to the hospital.

All four families were waiting outside the delivery room. They all usually got along very well, but at this time, due to concerns for the two expectant mothers inside, there was no time to chat—only mutual comfort and silent prayers for the safety of the mothers and children.

Time passed by the second, and everyone felt as if time was too slow, a minute feeling like an eternity.

Especially with no sound coming from inside the delivery room, no one knew what was happening, and the anxiety was palpable.

Finally, after two and a half hours, the delivery room door made a ’ding’, and slowly opened, followed by the sound of loud, clear cries.

"They’re born, they’re born!" Everyone waiting outside became excited.

"Congratulations, Madam, congratulations...," the director trailed off with a series of words, but Director Tang couldn’t wait, "Little sister, stop with the chatter."

Everyone was familiar, and this time, the Director cracked a joyful smile, "Tangtang has given birth to a boy, mother and son are safe."

At this, the Director looked at the Ning Family and old leader’s family, "Fangyu has given birth to a girl, mother and daughter are safe. Congratulations."

Gao Yuchen and Ning Yuan, the two new fathers, smiled foolishly at each other and then hugged, followed by a friendly punch, their hearts filled with excitement.

Everyone was overjoyed, their gazes fixed on the direction of the delivery room. The mothers and children were carefully attended to, and now two beds were slowly wheeled out, with two babies still crying loudly, their cries strong and musical.

"Fangyu, Tangtang!" everyone crowded around.

However, both Fangyu and Tangtang were already asleep.

Xi Shanyue quickly told her son, "Look after your wife and child, I’ll call your dad."

Shitou was in a meeting, and when Xi Shanyue tried his mobile phone, there was no answer, so she called his secretary, who also didn’t answer, and then she called the assistant.

"Madam, the leader is in a meeting."

"At this hour, it’s still not over?" Xi Shanyue knew Shitou was in a meeting and glanced at the time; it was almost noon, she spoke up, "Once the leader is out of his meeting, please let him know."

Hanging up the phone, Xi Shanyue went to see her grandson.

As soon as Shitou’s meeting ended, there was no need to check the phone; both the secretary and assistant informed hithe of the missed calls from his wife.

Shitou dialed back, and upon connecting, Xi Shanyue, hearing the good news, was very happy, "I’ll be there soon."

By the time Shitou arrived at the hospital, the mothers had woken up and fallen asleep again.

The two small beds were placed together, and inside were two tender babies who had just been fed, now sound asleep. Their eyes were shut, but their little hands remained clasped together.

Everyone smiled upon noticing this endearing sight, finding it very loving.

Only Shitou looked at the scene with a deep gaze, his eyes brimming with inexplicable emotions.

"Very cute, right?" Xi Shanyue asked joyfully.

Shitou nodded, and now everyone crowded around, discussing what names would be best for the children.

By this time, both mothers had woken up, and the fathers were by their sides.

Gao Yuchen suggested, "Let’s have Dad name them." He and Tangtang had thought of many names but couldn’t decide, eventually leaving the decision to his father.

Following Gao Yuchen’s statement, the Ning Family and old leader’s family also wanted Shitou to name their granddaughter. Shitou did not decline and immediately offered suggestions.

"Gaoxing, Ningxia."

Everyone agreed that the names were good—simple, easy to remember, and pleasant to say.

Gao Yuchen mumbled, "Why does it feel like it’s the names of Grandpa and Grandma?"

Xi Shanyue immediately laughed, "Gaoxing, Ningxia are good names."

When bringing up Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao, none of the younger generation lacked respect for them, even though they had passed away many years ago, they were still frequently remembered and mentioned.

Shitou had even written biographies for Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao, as no one knew their life stories better than him, and after all, parents, uncles, aunts—they were all people Shitou watched grow up.

At this moment, both babies opened their eyes, which were as beautiful as obsidian stones, filled with a misty charm.

There was joy at this sight—everyone surrounded the infants, chattering excitedly, but it didn’t scare the little ones.

Their mouths curved up in what seemed like tiny smiles, and under the gaze of their elders, they closed their eyes again. However, their clasped hands did not let go.

The adults marveled repeatedly, and not even the family’s doctor could resist pointing this out.

"Before, they were crying all the time, but once they got next to each other and touched hands, they stopped," Xi Shanyue said with a smile.

"Really? That’s great." Shitou’s eyes shone brighter and brighter, more and more joyous, as if he saw something beyond others.
