At this moment, Xiao Qingbai, who was originally nestled in Nie Jinmei's arms, suddenly burst into tears.
When the child cried, Song Zhi's heart was suddenly torn.
She looked at the little Qingbai who was looking for food with his mouth open sadly, and hurried into the house to make milk powder for him.
"Oh, you must be really hungry. Why are you crying so hard?"
Nie Jinmei rocked the baby gently, feeling distressed as she looked at the baby in her arms whose face was red from crying.
"Don't cry, little darling."
Rong Zhengqing also kept teasing her with a distressed look on his face.
But the little guy was hungry and kept crying no matter how they coaxed him.
Tang Junhe looked at the child's delicate little face, which was red from crying, and felt inexplicably distressed.
"Can I hug you?"
He suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Nie Jinmei and Rong Zhengqing were both stunned and looked at him suspiciously. He was a major, could he really coax a child?
"Can the major coax a child?" Nie Jinmei asked with gritted teeth.
"Let's give it a try." Tang Junhe looked at the little guy in her arms, pursed his lips, and replied uncertainly.
Hearing this, Nie Jinmei's face froze. She wanted to refuse, but Tang Junhe directly extended his hand.
"I'll be more careful."
After all, he had helped them a lot yesterday, so she couldn't say anything more and could only reluctantly hand the child over.
But after seeing the way Tang Junhe held the child, they regretted it.
Tang Junhe's posture of holding the child was as stiff as if he was holding a sandbag.
It was obvious that this was her first time holding a baby, let alone coaxing the child.
The two of them nervously surrounded Tang Junhe, concentrating on protecting Xiao Qingbai, fearing that he would accidentally drop the baby.
Tang Junhe didn't expect the child to be so soft, as if he had no bones and was almost weightless.
He stiffly adjusted his posture, imitating the way Nie Jinmei and the others had just held their children, and then lowered his head to look at the little one in his arms.
The little guy who was crying just now stopped crying after he was in Tang Junhe's arms. His pair of obsidian eyes rolled around and looked at Tang Junhe curiously. After a while, he grinned, revealing his toothless gums.
The little guy's innocent smile touched Tang Junhe's heart. He was stunned and felt a strange throbbing in his heart.
Nie Jinmei and Rong Zhengqing looked at this scene in surprise. They looked at each other, and a strange dark light flashed in their eyes.
Is this the natural closeness between father and son?
The two couldn't help but think of the time when they took care of Xiao Qingbai day and night, and their hearts were filled with sadness. Looking at Xiao Qingbai's happy little face, they couldn't help but curse in their hearts, what a heartless little boy!
It was the first time Tang Junhe held a child in his arms. The little one, as soft as cotton, nestled in his arms gave him a strange sense of satisfaction.
The little guy was born not long ago and still has a faint milky scent on his body, especially when he grins.
Tang Junhe didn't know how to tease children, but he still smiled.
The little guy was very well-behaved in his arms, not crying or making a fuss, but just looking at him curiously with his big eyes.
Ran Qiu, who was standing by, took everything in. His eyes darkened a little, and he couldn't help but clench his hands into fists.
Tang Junhe looked at the child's soft and cute appearance and liked him very much.
When Song Zhi came out with the bottle, she saw Xiao Qingbai in Tang Junhe's arms. Her heart suddenly rose, and she quickly walked over and snatched Xiao Qingbai away.
As soon as little Qingbai left Tang Junhe's arms, he pouted and was about to cry. Song Zhi stuffed the bottle into his little mouth without saying a word.
The little guy was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously sucked on the pacifier and drank the milk powder.
Although the child was not heavy, Tang Junhe's arms were sore after such a short while.
When Song Zhi looked over, he was quietly rubbing his arm.
Noticing her gaze, his expression froze, but he immediately returned to his usual cool and handsome appearance, pretending nothing had happened.
Song Zhi's eyes dimmed slightly, but she didn't expose him.
"I'm back now, you can go back to your work."
She immediately ordered them to leave.
Tang Junhe's face was slightly gloomy, and his eyes were filled with a hint of displeasure.
Is she so anxious to get rid of me?
But Tang Junhe really had no reason to stay.
Looking at her stubborn little face, he finally had no choice but to retreat.
Before leaving, he still gave some instructions out of concern.
"Take care of yourself, I'll come to see you when I have time..."
His eyes lingered on the little one in her arms for a moment before he continued.
"I'll come to see you when I'm free. If you have anything, come find me at the army."
Song Zhi responded absentmindedly and casually.
She didn't want Tang Junhe to come over often.
He might not notice the similarities between Xiao Qingbai and himself once or twice, but it would be hard to say after a long time.
Fortunately, the college entrance examination is coming soon.
After the college entrance examination, she took Xiao Qingbai and flew away.
After watching Tang Junhe leave the courtyard, everyone went into the house.
Nie Jinmei and Rong Zhengqing told Song Zhi what they had just discovered.
Upon hearing this, Song Zhi's already tense face became even more serious.
"Don't let him hold the baby anymore."
She explained this to a few people.
Nie Jinmei suddenly felt a little guilty.
"It's all my fault. I was soft-hearted and let him hug me."
"fine."
Song Zhi didn't mean to blame her. Seeing her guilty look, he hurried to comfort her.
"Just try not to let him get close to you in the future."
Little Qingbai was very well-behaved and fell asleep after eating and drinking.
Song Zhi gently placed him in the cradle and covered him with a thin blanket. Then he turned around and said to everyone, "The college entrance examination is approaching, and we have to restart our review plan. Let's give it one last try."
"good!"
When everyone heard this, they all responded.
Ran Qiu looked at Song Zhi standing in the light and shadow, his heart was almost uncontrollable beating. He lowered his eyes and clenched his fists, then he restrained the throbbing and hid it in his eyes.
Xiao Qingbai was well-behaved and did not affect Song Zhi's plan.
They all returned to their previous rhythm, working on the exercises together in the yard during the day and discussing them in the evening.
The days passed by amidst the rustling sounds of answering questions and the chirping of midsummer cicadas...
As the college entrance examination was approaching, Song Zhi went to the town and sent a telegram to Song Anshan, informing him that she was about to take the college entrance examination.
When she walked out of the post office, she hesitated for a moment, and then ran back after a while.
"Excuse me, I have another telegram to send."
She took a deep breath before telling him about Xiao Qingbai.
Of course, she did not tell the truth, and repeated what she had said to Tang Junhe, adding fuel to the fire.
She described Xiao Qingbai as a poor homeless and abandoned baby, and she felt pity for him and had to adopt the child.
Song Zhi confirmed it several times before asking the telegraph operator to send the telegram for him with a heavy heart.
