Chapter 357
But the one who was left in the cold couldn’t say anything, and could only endure it silently. But this time, he didn’t say anything not because he was taciturn, but because he was an adult who could take care of himself. Of course, he didn’t have the face to compete with a baby!
Everytime Yu Qingshi came to Jiang Xiaoman and was about to talk to her, the baby would cry. When he wanted to make out with her, the baby would cry. When he wanted to ask her out, the baby would cry and cry.
Originally, when Yu Qingshi looked at the little baby, he would think he was cute. But now, the more he looked at him, the more disgusting he looked, as if the baby was deliberately picking a fight with him.
How could there be such a devilish child in this world?
Yu Qingshi looked at Jiang Xiaoman as she hugged the baby and coaxed him. It was as if he was isolated outside and couldn’t get in, and his eyes couldn’t help building a lot of resentment. But Jiang Xiaoman was so focused on her little cousin that she couldn’t be distracted to pay attention to him.
“Xiaoman…” Yu Qingshi called out.
Jiang Xiaoman responded casually and asked what was up, but before Yu Qingshi could say anything, the baby started going wuu wuu wuu again!!
It went waah waah everyday!
Jiang Xiaoman had to coax the baby, and the conversation was interrupted again.
Yu Qingshi: “…”
After a few days, even Jiang Xiaoman couldn’t take it anymore.
Her little cousin was very attached to her, and whenever he saw her, he always wanted to be hugged by her. Whenever he wanted to drink milk, he would look for her, and whenever he wanted to cry, he would look for her.
In the evening, Tao Tao came home, and the little cousin finally had his mother, so he stopped troubling Jiang Xiaoman. She finally had a chance to take a break from her busy schedule and ran to find Yu Qingshi. As soon as she entered his bedroom, she collapsed into his bed and couldn’t get up anymore once she covered her head.
Yu Qingshi sat beside her and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Children are so devilish.”
“…” So you think so too.
Yu Qingshi was thinking about how to word his dissatisfaction in a subtle and elegant way. At the same time when he was about to express his view about how annoying children were, he heard Jiang Xiaoman continue to say, “I won’t have children in the future.”
“!!!” This can’t do!!
Yu Qingshi immediately took her seriously and said, “But, but I think… children are very cute. They’re so fair and fragrant, very cute.”
“But they will make trouble.”
“Didn’t you say you like little kids?”
“I only like them when they’re not crying.”
So there was a time caveat.
Yu Qingshi thought for a while, then took her hand and said, “It’s okay, I’ll take care of them.”
“Eh?” Jiang Xiaoman looked up at him, her eyes full of curiosity and doubt, “Can you take care of children?”
“…Yes!” Even if he couldn’t, he had time to learn!
Jiang Xiaoman was so happy that she immediately jumped up and hugged him, gave him a kiss, and then acted like a spoiled child, “Then from tomorrow, you will take care of the baby.”
“Okay… fine.”
And so Yu Qingshi was forced to take care of the baby.
In fact, he really didn’t know how to take care of babies.
Although he learned a lot from watching Jiang Xiaoman take care of the baby for so many days, he was too clumsy.
With no other choice, Yu Qingshi just had to practice on the spot.
Making milk, changing diapers, patting the baby’s back to make him burp, learning that if the baby cried it meant he needed a diaper change, etc etc.
He had to show Jiang Xiaoman what a man was really capable of!
In just a few days, Yu Qingshi’s meticulous care had conquered the child.
Now he no longer stuck to Jiang Xiaoman, but to Yu Qingshi instead.
Yu Qingshi held the baby to his chest and fed him milk from a bottle, while Jiang Xiaoman was in charge of playing with the baby. She left it to Yu Qingshi when he cried, and played with him when he was happy, living a very happy life.
Really, Yu Qingshi was a very virtuous man!
In their third year in university, Jiang Xiaoman and Yu Qingshi both got offers from the Ivy League. One for further studies, and the other to get a BA.
There was no need for them to take the 4th year courses, and they were both very free. In fact, they were so free that it almost caused a fatal accident.
Almost.
The current Yu Qingshi really wanted to get married. Jiang Xing’s son could run and jump now, and looked very cute. His fatherly heart was moved, and he wanted to become one himself.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t easy to make a compromise with Jiang Xiaoman.
Although babies were very cute and she liked them very much, and Yu Qingshi could take care of them, she was still young, wuu wuu wuu!
She didn’t want to be a mother yet.
Yu Qingshi couldn’t fight her, so he had no choice but to not mention it. But before he went abroad, he said that no matter what he wanted to exchange engagement rings first, throw a party, and make things official.
Seeing that he kept fussing about this, Jiang Xiaoman felt sorry and was forced to agree. “Fine. But we’re still young, so we can’t think of anything else.”
What do you mean still young?
“We’ve reached the age where you can legally live together in foreign countries.” Yu Qingshi quickly listed the cities where they could obtain a marriage certificate, and asked her, “Do you want to go there to play?”
“…No, no, let’s just get engaged first.”
Jiang Xiaoman held his fuzzy-haired head and rubbed it desperately. After thinking about it for a while, why was her childhood friend still frowning?
She sighed and said, “Yu Qingshi, if you have something to say, how can I know what’s going on if you are keeping it in your heart?”
Yu Qingshi immediately said, “I want to have a child.”
“…”
