A Husband Knows His Wife Best

By Ma Liping

A girl friend of mine had just given birth and was rolled back to her delivery room. She was struggling to open her eyes and started looking around, anxiously, at the people around her. Her pale lips were opening and closing but no sound came out, her arms were flailing as if she was trying to gesture something but didn’t have the strength to lift them up.

Everyone was guessing as to what she was trying to say, but they were all rejected by the slight shake of her head. Watching her get more and more agitated,we all just looked at each other,not knowing what to do. Just then, her husband came to her side, bent over, and whispered something into her ear. All of a sudden it was as if a heavy load had been lifted off of her shoulders, she shut her eyes and went quietly to sleep.

Later I asked her husband:“What was it that you whispered to her?”

He replied: “I told her, ‘Darling,I’ve already taken a picture of the baby and posted it on Instagram,Twitter and Tumblr.’”

闺密生了宝宝后被推回产房，虚弱无力地睁开眼睛，焦虑地望着周围的人，苍白的嘴唇翕动着却发不出声音，手臂挣扎着却抬不起来。

大家纷纷猜测她的意思，可都被她微微摇头否定。眼看闺密越来越急切，大家面面相觑，不知所措。这时候，闺密的丈夫来到她身边，俯下身在她耳边轻声说了两句话，闺密立刻如释重负，合上眼睛安静地休息了。

后来我问她丈夫：“那会儿你说的啥悄悄话呀？”

他说：“我告诉她：亲爱的，我已经给咱宝宝拍了照，空间、朋友圈、微博、贴吧都传了。”
