Chapter 139: I’ll Support You

Ling Nuonuo changed into her pajamas and went to bed.

Song Qingtian returned, sat down, and saw Ling Hanyu. She showed him the love letter.

Ling Hanyu glanced at it and frowned darkly: “Does this classmate have water in his brain?”

“What on earth is this?”

“It seems Mr. Ling has very high IQ but low EQ.”

Ling Hanyu’s face darkened, but he didn’t say a word.

Song Qingtian explained: “They’re only three years old and can’t write many characters yet. This is just a way of expressing himself. He was afraid Nuonuo wouldn’t understand, so he deliberately wrote the words ‘love letter’—first, to let Nuonuo know it’s a love letter just for her; second, to let the whole class know he’s declaring ownership. Nuonuo is the one he likes, and he likes Nuonuo too. Whether it’s people who like Nuonuo or people who like him, they should all keep their distance. Besides, there may be many people around Nuonuo who like her, but her EQ might not be very high either, so she doesn’t understand. And this deskmate hasn’t exactly hidden his feelings for Nuonuo, but Nuonuo doesn’t get it—she thinks everyone likes her, and she likes everyone too, without making any distinctions. Out of desperation, this deskmate did this. But I’m sure he asked the adults around him first.”

“My daughter belongs only to me.”

Ling Hanyu ignored everything else and just wanted that annoying kid to stay away from his daughter.

Song Qingtian couldn’t help but give Ling Hanyu a dirty look.

Suddenly, Ling Hanyu fell silent, staring intently into Song Qingtian’s eyes, his heart pounding.

But Song Qingtian said, “A daughter belongs only to herself. You’re her father—just letting her know you’re her support is enough. She doesn’t belong to anyone, and no one can ever be everything to her.”

Ling Hanyu’s heart gave an unexpected jolt.

“No one can ever be everything to her?”

Is it her, or is it the daughter?

Song Qingtian had no idea why Ling Hanyu’s expression had changed.

She continued, “This is actually a good thing—it should be handled simply. Don’t overreact. In a child’s world, most feelings of liking are just pure affection. Even if they’re not, that’s okay. If I’m not mistaken, this deskmate is a very bright little star in the class. Before Nuonuo came along, he was like ice and snow on a mountain peak—no one could ever hold a candle to him, yet everyone liked him and wanted to be friends with him.”

Song Qingtian thought, “That really does sound a lot like Ling Hanyu.”

“Nuonuo is naturally kind-hearted and very slow to pick up on emotions. She thinks being together is just friendship—nothing more. This deskmate must have felt neglected, which is why he started paying attention to Nuonuo. But Nuonuo is so cute that it’s hard not to like her after seeing her often. With so many people around who like her, he couldn’t help but worry, so the love letter was just another reminder after all his previous attempts to confess. It was meant to remind Nuonuo that someone likes her—but he overlooked the fact that Nuonuo is still so young that she doesn’t understand any of this at all. She doesn’t even know what a love letter is. The person who came up with the idea must be an adult. They probably just wanted to offer some simple advice, but ended up forgetting something important: Nuonuo is a child—a very young child.”
