Song Song originally thought that her heartfelt confession would make soone so excited that he’d pick her up and spin her around, just like in the TV shows.
Unexpectedly, his expression remained calm, showing only a faint smile at the corner of his lips, without any other visible emotion.
Damn! This really made her feel disheartened. Could it be that her confession wasn’t earth-shattering enough or moving to the heart?
But, for her to say those two sentences was already quite difficult. Isn’t his expectation of her too high?
"Xiao Jinghuai, can you show so reaction?"
Song Song suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and turned to leave, "Forget it, just pretend I didn’t say anything."
However, after taking a few steps, a forceful pull drew her into an embrace, and a voice ca from above her head, "What kind of reaction do you want from ?"
"You’re not very sure if you like , right? In Anhua County, I was waiting for you to say this, and I didn’t expect months to have passed waiting."
Song Song’s heart suddenly ward, "Anhua County?"
"Yes, the place where you went to teach before, can’t you rember?"
Song Song reached out to push the man away, "Huh, are you bullying because I can’t rember?"
"Anhua County..." Song Song muttered under her breath, "But I really have no mory at all."
At that mont, she suddenly thought of another matter, opened her mouth, not knowing how to speak, as this matter was even more difficult than a confession.
She wasn’t sure what his reaction would be after she spoke, whether he would despise her or love her even more?
Xiao Jinghuai noticed her hesitations, slightly furrowed his brows, "What now?"
"Xiao, Xiao Jinghuai, I suddenly rembered sothing from before, just about ..."
"A pair of perfectly flawless hands, neither sweating nor shaking, hidden behind a smile..."
Suddenly, a rhythmic ringtone interrupted Song Song’s words, "Wait a minute, I need to take a call."
Song Song glanced at her phone, but there was no caller ID. She suddenly had a bad premonition, "Hello, who is this?"
"... Song Song, Song Song, help , my stomach hurts so much, there’s no one at ho, can you co over?"
Lin Man’s weak voice ca through the phone, sounding even more helpless, "Okay, okay, I’m coming over right now, hang in there!"
Xiao Jinghuai saw her face instantly turn pale, "What’s wrong?"
"I have to go, Lin Man says she has stomach pains..."
"I’ll go with you."
Song Song quickly declined, "No need, you’ve just recovered from a serious illness, don’t worry! I can handle it, you rest well at ho, wait for to co back, be good..."
After saying that, Song Song quickly tiptoed to peck the man’s handso face and then ran off like the wind.
The man smiled indulgently, "Ha, little girl."
...
When Song Song arrived at Lin Man’s doorstep, she found the door open and imdiately reached out to push it, only to be blocked by sothing. She looked down and saw Lin Man lying there, barely conscious.
For a mont, Song Song was a bit frightened.
Perhaps because she heard the noise, Lin Man lifted her extrely pale face and forced a smile, "Song Song, you’re here."
Song Song imdiately crouched down, trying to lift Lin Man off the ground, and then noticed the blood under her body, flowing more and more...
Just like the scenes in her dreams, she was lying in a pool of blood.
"Where did that damn jerk go! And your mother-in-law!"
"Why did they leave you alone at ho, why?"
"Lin Man, don’t worry, I’ll take you to the hospital right now, you’ll be fine, definitely be fine..."
"..."
Lin Man tightly clutched Song Song’s clothes, as if using her last ounce of energy, "Song Song, promise , if anything happens to , make sure to save my child, okay?"
"Don’t talk! You and the child will be fine, if sothing happens to you, I absolutely, definitely won’t spare that scumbag!"
"Song Song, I’m so sleepy, I can’t stay awake... I’ll sleep for a while, just a little while."
"Lin Man, don’t sleep yet, you can’t sleep! You must stay strong for your child, don’t sleep!"
But Lin Man seed completely unable to hear and had isolated herself from the world, closing her eyes as tears slowly stread from the corners.
Blood stained her pure white cashre sweater, more like it scalded Song Song’s heart.
Suddenly, mories of their previous interactions flashed through her mind...
"Are you also a newly assigned teacher?"
"Yes."
"How coincidental! I am too, my na is Lin Man, what’s yours?"
"Hi, I’m Song Song."
"Wow! That na suits you well!"
"..."
In her mory, the girl had eyes that curved like the moon when she smiled, not very big, but bright and clear; the girl’s personality was cheerful, easily getting along with others, she was the one who most enlivened the atmosphere in the entire office.
She seed to always have inexhaustible energy...
Yet now, for a man, a completely undeserving man, she had lost her smile.
Lin Man, why dean yourself like this?
Why!
...
Hospital.
Song Song sat quietly in the hallway, her eyes fixed on the surgical room’s light. Lin Man had been inside for more than two hours, yet still hadn’t co out.
Just as Song Song feared the worst, the operating room doors were finally pushed open, and a nurse ca out with a baby carriage.
"Are you a family mber of the patient?"
Song Song was stunned for a few seconds before reacting and imdiately walking over, "No, I’m the patient’s friend, is this her child?"
"Yes, a healthy baby girl, six pounds and six ounces, she’ll need to be taken to the pediatrics for observation for a period."
A baby girl? Six pounds and six ounces?
Song Song’s mind flashed back to when she gave birth to her child, also a girl, and she heard faint cries, like a little cat...
"What about my friend, is she okay?"
The nurse glanced toward the entrance of the operation room, "Don’t worry, she was brought in fairly promptly, both mother and child are fine."
Upon hearing this, Song Song’s heart blossod with happiness, she looked down at the wrinkled child, who slowly opened her eyes, and although they lacked focus, it felt like she was looking right into one’s soul.
Making one’s heart flutter fiercely.
Soon after, Lin Man was also pushed out of the operating room, Song Song looked at her bloodless face, her eyes slightly red, holding her hand, "Lin Man, you have a daughter, a beautiful little princess, very healthy, she’s in pediatrics now."
Lin Man’s lips moved, seeming to want to speak, but she was too weak, unable to say a word...
After being taken to the ward not long after, the infant who had been examined by the pediatrician was also brought to her mother’s side by a nurse.
Lin Man was still asleep at this point, so Song Song temporarily took care of the child, looking at the baby waving her little hands, Song Song couldn’t help but be a bit teary-eyed...
Suddenly, she missed her daughter, who had been away from her since birth.
She should be about Bao Bei’s age now, in the first grade of primary school.
Half an hour later, Lin Man woke from her sleep, struggling imnsely to speak, "Song, Song... Is my child okay?"
