I Became the Mother of His Child-Chapter 503: Caught a Cold and Fever

That day, Liu Yuming foolishly ran in the rain, and Song Chenhao thought, "Will the little girl catch a cold?" It turned out, he really didn't need to think highly of the little girl, for she hadn't shown up for several days since then. He vaguely heard someone saying that the little girl had caught a cold and developed a high fever because of the rain.

Sigh! Once Song Chenhao heard about it, he felt a touch of guilt, always feeling that it wasn't quite right. Because of a bit of concern in his heart, he had become particularly sensitive these days. When he saw the lively little girl appear before him again, he found that seeing her in that moment brightened his gloomy mood of several days like a sunny break in the weather.

"Senior Chen Hao, I'm sorry, I had a cold for several days before I got better. My parents asked for leave on my behalf because I wasn't allowed to go to class. It wasn't intentional, I thought I was tough and wouldn't catch a cold..." Although the little girl jumped out with a silly smile that was particularly dazzling, the words that burst out of her mouth carried guilt and apology.

The little girl seemed to regret not being able to appear in front of Song Chenhao those days, but what was she really apologizing for?

"Don't do that next time," Song Chenhao frowned and admonished.

"? Do what?" Liu Yuming foolishly asked back, her eyes filled with confusion, almost as if there were two big question marks drawn on her forehead.

"Don't foolishly give me your umbrella and get drenched yourself," Song Chenhao took a deep breath, somewhat helplessly advising her. It was an attempt to patiently remind her, as this girl was foolishly clueless about many things, which made Song Chenhao, who was used to dealing with smart contexts—even his family's dog didn't tire him as much—somewhat speechless.

"Oh!" Liu Yuming realized and responded, then shook her head, "It's okay! I was worried you might catch a cold getting wet! I'm strong, catching a cold once in a while is no big deal..." The little girl replied in a nonchalant tone, an attitude that was amusing.

Song Chenhao thought, the little girl didn't excel in courting someone. She probably just foolishly considered herself as one of the boys, treating him, a grown man, as if she was coddling a girl, and then pursued him earnestly—an ironically amusing method, yet it also left a mark in his heart.

...

Song Chenxi's mumps finally subsided, and the long-unseen school beauty returned to school. Not only did a bunch of boys become agitated again, even Liu Yuming was especially excited because she had found it increasingly difficult to find reasons to talk to Song Chenhao. Since the hairtail incident, she was deeply afraid that she had hit Song Chenhao's fatal weak spot, and he would grow to dislike her more and more. Yet, when she learned of Senior Sister Chenxi's recovery and return, the little girl was so happy she literally jumped three feet high.

"Senior Sister, it's so good to see you back. You have to take good care of yourself and be happy every day," Liu Yuming said excitedly that morning when she saw Song Chenxi walking with Song Chenhao.

Song Chenxi silently smiled, then saw Song Chenhao, watching with an amused expression. Over the past half month, watching Little Moon bringing all sorts of things home, even holding a small floral umbrella on rainy days, Song Chenxi knew that in the half month without her, her second brother's heart had fluttered a bit.

The diligently pursuing little bee had made progress, but unfortunately, the little girl was so foolish she couldn't feel it at all.

Love is the most inexplicable thing in the world. Song Chenhao had always thought he would only touch that stuff far in the future, but Liu Yuming's appearance shattered all his plans. Yet, the little girl just went through the motions, marking her presence in front of him every day, but did nothing else, leaving him somewhat helpless.

And so, the little girl marked her presence for a whole year. Song Chenhao and Song Chenxi faced the college entrance exam, and Song Chenhao graduated gloriously as the top scorer, while Song Chenxi, though not the top scorer, also joined Qing University with excellent scores. Contrary to everyone's expectations, Song Chenhao applied to the National Defense Air Academy...

"Wow! Senior, I won't get to see you anymore, I'm so sad..." When the little girl learned that Song Chenhao was the top scorer, she was utterly desolate and came to Song Chenhao with tearful eyes to express her sorrow of parting.

Just thinking that she was a poor student while her senior was the top scorer, thinking that she was average-looking while her senior was incredibly handsome, thinking about her senior's tall stature and long legs compared to her short frame and short legs—Liu Yuming felt the distance between herself and her senior growing wider.

And who knew if the senior would completely forget about her once he went to university?

"Yeah," Song Chenhao nodded calmly. For him, being the top scorer as a Song family boy was both his responsibility and obligation, nothing extraordinary, especially since his elder brother was also a top scorer and the children in the Song family all had good academic records. So, Song Chenhao felt that whether it was himself or his family, they all naturally accepted this outcome.

"Wow..." Liu Yuming, however, was emotionally devastated, crying bitterly, the more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she felt, as if tomorrow was the end of the world.

Song Chenhao felt his ears hurt from the crying, even feeling somewhat uncomfortable. He took a deep breath and raised his hand to gently touch Liu Yuming's head, "Don't cry." This state of the little girl was the last thing he wanted to see; he preferred the sunny, carefree little girl.

"Just cry, just cry, I won't see you anymore, why shouldn't I cry? Senior, when you go to university, you will meet a lot of beautiful senior sisters, and then you will fall in love and then forget about this silly junior in high school..." Liu Yuming was very saddened, imagining Song Chenhao hand in hand with a pretty girl made her heart constrict even more.

"No," Song Chenhao confirmed once again with a headache.

Liu Yuming instinctively contradicted without listening closely to what Song Chenhao said, "What do you mean no? How could you not? Senior, you are so handsome and good-looking; surely, many girls like me with thick skin will pursue you. I will be very sad if you accept them. Look, I've been pursuing you for over a year and you didn't accept my daily breakfasts, and in the end, you ended up holding hands with someone else! No, senior, you must promise me that the girl who pursues you has to pursue you longer than I have before you can accept her..." Liu Yuming thought about it, her face lighting up with hope as she looked up at Song Chenhao, hoping he would agree to her terms. Then she would work hard to get into his Air Force Academy two years later; she would still be the one who pursued him the longest, and he would have to accept her.
