"Of course it's okay, baby."
"I'm your mom. Why not?"
Song Jinhe immediately threw off the quilt and motioned for Chi Yunqi to come over.
Chi Yunqi was wearing a set of cartoon pajamas. His little arms and legs were chubby segments, cute and tiny.
If she wasn't afraid of scaring him, Song Jinhe really wanted to hug little Yunqi and give him a big smooch.
Chi Yunqi inched closer but still didn't dare to get too close to her.
Song Jinhe directly grabbed him and pressed him into her arms, making his little head rest on her arm.
The two sat on the bed in this half - lying position. Before Chi Yunqi could react, she immediately distracted him.
"Baby, do you like watching movies? This is a newly released movie."
At the same time, Song Jinhe clicked the play button.
The next second, Chi Yan's handsome and angular face appeared on the iPad.
Chi Yunqi frowned deeply, and his little face scrunched up.
His eyes widened involuntarily. He was shocked and confused. He watched several times before he dared to confirm.
Wasn't the person on the screen his father?
And Song Jinhe kept whispering in his ear, "This is a suspenseful detective movie. If you're scared, baby, you can go to sleep first."
"If you like it too, how about watching it with mom?"
Chi Yunqi looked up, and their eyes met. There was no other emotion in her eyes.
Didn't she dislike his father? Didn't she hate him?
Why was she watching his father's movie?
Seeing Chi Yunqi's strange expression, Song Jinhe asked again, "What's wrong, baby?"
Chi Yunqi quickly shook his head. "It's okay. I'd like to watch."
"Okay."
Song Jinhe held him like this, and the two nestled in the quilt. The whole room was lit by a warm - yellow floor lamp, and the atmosphere between them was quiet and gentle.
Chi Yunqi could clearly feel Song Jinhe's warm embrace at this moment.
So this was what it felt like to be in mom's arms...
Almost his entire upper body was nestled in her arms, and his head rested on her arm.
Chi Yunqi couldn't even describe the feeling in his heart. It was an unreal sense of steadiness.
The smell and warmth on her body were so clear.
He wasn't dreaming.
After a while, Chi Yunqi finally shifted his gaze back to the iPad.
He still wondered why she had chosen to watch his father's movie. Was it specially for him?
But when Chi Yunqi secretly looked up at her, her expression was so infatuated.
Even the look in her eyes got excited with the plot.
Just then, a scene of Chi Yan in a police uniform doing martial arts flashed on the iPad.
Song Jinhe couldn't help but scream, "Wow! He's so handsome!"
She was so focused that she didn't even notice Chi Yunqi looking at her.
Chi Yunqi frowned more and more tightly. She seemed to... like his father very much?
She even praised his father for being handsome.
Chi Yunqi even suspected that his memory was messed up. Clearly, in the past few years, her attitude towards his father had been very bad.
As long as his father appeared, she would surely go crazy.
How could she have such an infatuated look?
What went wrong?
Although Chi Yunqi was still a bit nervous at this time, he couldn't resist his curiosity.
He casually asked, "Mom, do you like him?"
Only then did Song Jinhe come to her senses. She tightened her arms around Chi Yunqi and said with a smile,
"Yes, I do. Who wouldn't like someone so handsome?"
"Do you like this uncle, baby?"
"This uncle used to be a classmate of mom's."
"Look at the uncle's fight scenes. Don't you think he's amazing?"
Song Jinhe's continuous chatter made Chi Yunqi's head spin.
What uncle?
Did he like this uncle?
Was the uncle amazing?
Obviously, Yunqi's little head couldn't process these questions.
Could it be... she didn't know that the uncle she was talking about was his father?
And he also caught the keyword. She said she liked him.
But she used to hate him so much...
Everything was so strange.
Seeing Chi Yunqi's dazed expression, Song Jinhe thought he was overthinking.
She quickly hugged him tighter. "Don't worry, baby. Mom's whole heart is on you now."
"I think our life is pretty good now. Mom won't abandon you."
After all, she had a family now.
It wasn't appropriate for a child to hear her say she liked another man.
Song Jinhe explained again, "Mom's liking for this uncle is just like an idol - chasing fan's. It's nothing else."
Chi Yunqi nodded blankly.
Even after the movie was over, Chi Yunqi was still in a daze.
Did she forget what had happened in the past few years?
He still clearly remembered the day when her personality changed drastically. She asked his name once.
He would go to see his father tomorrow and let him analyze the situation.
Putting down the iPad, Song Jinhe took away the pillow behind her waist.
"Go to sleep, baby. Mom will take you out to play tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay."
Even when sleeping, Chi Yunqi rested his head on her arm and snuggled close to her.
Little Yunqi's head was in a mess, and he fell asleep in a daze.
Song Jinhe almost fell asleep instantly.
It was in the middle of the night when she was woken up by the heat.
"Yunqi? What's wrong?"
She could feel that the little one beside her was burning hot.
Song Jinhe immediately sat up frowning and touched Chi Yunqi's forehead.
Her expression instantly turned tense. He had a fever.
His forehead was extremely hot.
"Yunqi? Yunqi? Wake up. You have a fever. Mom will take you to the hospital now."
There was always a warm - yellow floor lamp on in the room. Chi Yunqi's eyes were tightly closed. He was thirsty and listless.
Song Jinhe quickly got up, put on some random clothes, grabbed a blanket, wrapped little Yunqi up, and went downstairs.
Hearing the commotion, Aunt Li immediately came out. "What's wrong, madam?"
"Quickly call the driver. Yunqi has a fever. We're going to the hospital now."
Aunt Li instantly lost all sleepiness. "Okay, okay. I'll go right away."
Song Jinhe could only sit on the sofa with Chi Yunqi in her arms. Looking at his little red - flushed face, her heart was filled with pity.
"Baby, do you feel uncomfortable?"
The little Yunqi in her arms kept his eyes tightly closed and replied hoarsely, "Yes..."
"Do you want to drink some water?"
Chi Yunqi shook his head. He hardly had the strength to speak.
Song Jinhe held him, feeling a bit helpless and not knowing what to do. "Don't be afraid. Sleep for a while. We'll be at the hospital soon."
