Chapter 251 - The Little Kid’s Scheme
The corner of Li Hanlin’s eyes twitched.
This child…
He was scheming.
It was to the extent that he felt helpless.
Earlier, when he received Youyou’s call, he heard the latter crying out in pain on the other end of the line. He promptly put down everything at hand and rushed over. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Youyou lying unconscious on the ground. He then flew over to him and lifted him. Realizing that the little boy had fainted and not having a clue of his situation, Li Hanlin pinched his philtrum with the intention of performing CPR on him. Suddenly, the little boy’s eyes flew open – those few pinches at the philtrum seemed to have worked their magic as he actually regained consciousness.
Youyou slapped him and his face twisted to the side. “Disgusting!”
Just when he was feeling extremely wronged, the little boy leaned on his chest weakly; his breathing was labored, and his face was completely flushed.
He immediately inquired about the situation. Youyou then pointed to the first-aid kit on the cabinet right away and said, “Bring… Bring it over…”
He brought the first-aid kit to him at once. The little boy found the medicine bottle with much difficulty and chucked a pill down, yet the symptoms did not seem to disappear.
Thus, he shuttled him to the nearest public hospital in a hurry. First-aid treatment was administered, and his condition finally stabilized.
However, Youyou’s following request rendered him a little speechless.
“Later if my mommy calls you, do exaggerate my condition.”
His eyes nearly popped out when he heard this. “Sir, don’t you love your mommy the most? Aren’t you most afraid of making her worry?”
“Shouldn’t she worry about me?” countered Youyou in dissatisfaction. Li Hanlin was struck dumb by his words.
He pondered on it for a long time. What Youyou said seemed to make some sense.
“Leaving me at home alone for a day and night. Shouldn’t she repent and reflect?”
“Erm…”
“Just for once; let her care for me more,” Youyou continued. He dipped his head and grasped a corner of the blanket tightly. His furrowed brows made him look somewhat helpless. “Only when someone loses something, will they know how to cherish, but once one loses it, it may not come back ever again.”
Hence, the call just then was made.
He always cared for his foolish mommy. For all matters, big or small, as long as she took care of him, he never expected much in return from her. He just wished that she could take care of herself – his mind would then be at ease.
However, he realized, sometimes, he would rather be a little frailer and more reliant on her; that way, his mommy would place more of her attention on him.
“Oh.” Youyou nodded. He slightly wrinkled his brows and then said, “I think what you said is not severe enough. What ‘doesn’t look good’? You shouldn’t have said it like that.”
Slipping into a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke with cold eyes, “You should’ve said that I nearly died.”
The curve of his lips, reflecting the ulterior motives he harbored, made a shiver crawl up his spine.
This child… was indeed unpredictable.
Was he only six years of age?
Still, what he had said was not considered as an exaggeration.
If he had not arrived in time, this little boy’s condition would have worsened, and he would have truly been in danger.
Li Hanlin understood that his order to say that was simply a scheme.
A child’s world was extremely innocent; they did not know how to twist words or lay out a scheme. Although Yun Tianyou was considered as the cream of the crop among children – with his IQ and EQ being unmatchable – deep down, he was very innocent. He only knew that if he acted a little weaker and a little more pitiful, his mommy would care and love him a little more.
Yun Tianyou slowly lay down in bed. With his voice lowered, he said, “I can’t lose to that man. I have to snatch my mommy’s heart back.”
Li Hanlin gazed at the little boy curling up into a ball in bed and shook his head helplessly as his heart slightly ached.
