"Dongzi!" Li Sijie's eyes suddenly reddened, she grabbed Song Xiaodong's hands, choking up as she said, "Please don't make me terminate the pregnancy, let me have the baby, I absolutely won't disturb your life, I won't let the child acknowledge you, I really just want to have a child, I really don't intend to use the child to try to force you into anything."
Song Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, then, wide-eyed and slack-jawed, said, "You've been avoiding me because you're afraid I'd make you terminate the pregnancy?"
"Will... will you let me have the baby?" Li Sijie asked, looking at Song Xiaodong in surprise.
"Of course!" Song Xiaodong replied affirmatively.
"Ah?" Li Sijie was even more dumbfounded, staring blankly at Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong gripped Li Sijie's hands back, softly saying, "After all, this child is mine, how could I not want him? I am the child's father, how could I bear it."
