Zhouzhou woke up as soon as they arrived at the hospital, perhaps because he was in an unfamiliar place, he was obviously a bit nervous.
Zhouzhou, who is usually very well-behaved when held by Shen Yi, is now fussing and whimpering in Shen Yi’s arms.
Shen Yi also held Zhouzhou even more carefully in his arms, hoping to comfort his unease.
There’s generally no need to queue in a private hospital, and there happened to be a free nurse when Shen Yi and his family approached.
The doctor went up to communicate and then passed over the baby’s vaccine book; afterwards, the nurse went to prepare.
Zhouzhou still looked very scared, fussing in Shen Yi’s arms in a manner that suggested he might cry without actually doing so, and this expression was what first made Ye Wanwan nervous.
"Don’t be scared, Zhouzhou, daddy and mommy are here with you," Ye Wanwan said, her voice trembling slightly.
The last time the doctor came to their house to administer a vaccine, she had been asleep and didn’t know the situation.
Shen Yi and the nanny both said that Zhouzhou was very brave and didn’t cry at all, but now Ye Wanwan felt they were lying; Zhouzhou must have been scared at that time.
It was just that Shen Yi didn’t want her to feel guilty about sleeping through the baby’s vaccination time and had deliberately lied to her.
In her memory, she couldn’t recall what it was like when she took Zhouzhou for vaccinations in her last life; she had no impression of it at all.
It seemed that in her last life she had never taken Zhouzhou for vaccinations...
Thinking of this, Ye Wanwan couldn’t help tearing up; during such a scary time for Zhouzhou in his last life, she, as his mother, wasn’t there to accompany him.
Shen Yi noticed the change in Ye Wanwan’s emotions and subconsciously glanced at her, feeling somewhat guilty. He had, after all, told Ye Wanwan that Zhouzhou hadn’t cried during his last vaccination, that he was very brave.
However, now before it had even started, Zhouzhou was already pursing his lips and his eyes were red, looking like he was about to burst into tears.
But Zhouzhou really didn’t cry last time!
It must be because of the environment! Yes, that had to be it!
Shen Yi was also getting nervous, taking a deep breath discreetly before saying, "It’s okay, it’s normal for kids to be scared when they are in a strange place for the first time, we just need to be there with him."
"Mhm," Ye Wanwan replied in a muffled voice, blinking rapidly and quickly pulling herself together.
She knew that it was Zhouzhou who needed comforting now, and she couldn’t add to the burden by requiring Shen Yi to comfort her as well.
"Okay, just to confirm one more time, the baby’s name is Shen Wenzhou, right?" the nurse asked aloud.
Shen Yi replied solemnly, "Yes, Shen Wenzhou."
"Now, we’re going to administer the first dose of the poliovirus vaccine," continued the nurse.
Shen Yi responded again, confirming the information with the nurse, while Ye Wanwan had already gathered her emotions, looking ready for action.
"Alright, dad, hold the baby steady, I am about to give the injection," said the nurse as she had everything prepared and then approached the baby.
As the nurse reached out with the needle towards Zhouzhou, Ye Wanwan was extremely afraid, yet she just bit her lower lip hard, not looking away. She was ready for Zhouzhou to burst into tears!
Shen Yi was nervous too, yet he dared not hold Zhouzhou too tightly and could only frown deeply.
However, while they were tense, the nurse said, "All done, daddy, please press the cotton swab against it."
