The long awaited first cry (3)
Nana and Jinhai widened their eyes. She tried to get up, but Jinhai stopped her. "Nana! Don't get up. You are still-"
"What is big brother saying! Not crying? Why isn't he crying?" She panicked and burst into tears.
Shin quickly said, "Don't worry, Nana," he looked at Huian. "Huian. Rub his back. Pat his chest. The umbilical cord must have caused him a little difficulty with breathing."
Huian rubbed his back. She nervously tried to swing him in her arms, letting him feel the air.
"Hey, hey…" She whispered. "Come on. Please cry…Everybody is waiting."
But he didn't respond.
As if the elder brother also understood, he stopped crying too. He silently looked at his brother, who seemed motionless.
Liu Chunhua, Grandma Liu, and Liu Hai impatiently looked at Huian. Their faces were marred with an expression of worry and fear.
