That evening, when Gu Shaoting returned home from work, he found Shu Pan sitting on the bed, staring blankly at the sky outside.
"What's wrong? You seem down," Gu Shaoting approached, concern evident in his voice.
Shu Pan suddenly looked gloomy, which surprised Gu Shaoting. He thought something must have happened.
"Is it because the baby's being difficult and upsetting you?" Gu Shaoting could only think of that possibility.
"No, the baby is fine. It's just... I don't know, I'm feeling a bit unhappy for no reason," Shu Pan said somewhat melodramatically.
Gu Shaoting grew anxious. He had heard about postpartum depression affecting many new mothers, and he hoped his wife wouldn't be one of them.
This was a serious matter.
Quickly, Gu Shaoting comforted and hugged her. He knew he might be tired from taking care of the baby, but he hadn't anticipated that it would be the mother who felt depressed, especially when the baby was well-behaved and slept soundly after eating.
