He said firmly, “The little guy has luck on his side. He’ll definitely be fine!”
Yun Shishi gripped the back of his hand so tightly that it almost tore his skin.
He knew that she was trying to take it all in. With no news of Youyou, it was as if her world had fallen apart.
Mu Yazhe’s heart ached for her as he held her in his arms and gently kissed her forehead. “Shishi, let’s go home and wait for Youyou to return!”
Wait for Youyou to return…!
Without a doubt, these words touched her deeply.
Tears rolled down her cheeks. Little Yichen immediately wiped his tears away and smiled confidently. “That’s right! Mommy, let’s go home and wait for Youyou to return!”
Mu Yazhe coaxed her gently, “So, you stay at home and wait for Youyou to return, alright?”
Yun Shishi’s lips trembled violently. She raised her head, widened her eyes, and choked, “I’m willing to wait no matter how long it takes! But… will he return to us?”
“Why not?” Mu Yazhe hugged her tightly, his voice slightly hoarse. “That boy is so clingy to you and likes to pester you so much. It’s as if he’d die if he left your side for even for a day. He loves following you around and talks about you all the time. So how could he abandon you? How could he not come home?”
Little Yichen added, “That’s right! Youyou wouldn’t leave Mommy for anything! He’ll definitely come home! Where else could he go?”
Yun Shishi could no longer hold back her tears and nodded miserably.
Ever since Youyou was born, he was like a little tail that she could never shake off.
She recalled how the little guy was extremely unwilling to spend time with Mu Yazhe back then. He had hugged her and said coquettishly, “Mommy, you belong solely to Youyou alone! Youyou doesn’t want Daddy! Youyou only wants Mommy!”
She recalled the time she had taken him to the Fairy Tale Valley to play. Despite not being able to take many of the rides, he kept a sunny disposition all the same.
In the hospital, he had made things difficult for her when he felt that she treated Little Yichen a little better.
Till she had to tell him seriously, “Youyou, do you know that Mommy is not your personal possession?”
In that instant, Youyou’s eyes turned bloodshot. How could he not know that she had feelings and free will! However, only heaven knew how long he spent contemplating before he let go and accepted Little Yichen and Mu Yazhe into his life. He had always been miserly and unwilling when it came to sharing his Mommy’s love with anyone. However, he accepted Little Yichen and Mu Yazhe from the bottom of his heart.
“No matter what choice Mommy makes, I’ll stand by Mommy! Because Youyou can’t live without Mommy, and Mommy can’t live without Youyou!”
Ever since he could remember, he and his Mommy relied on each other. She was the brightest ray of light in his life, the warmth that he could not bear to be apart from.
Youyou’s love for Little Yichen and Mu Yazhe was largely due to his love for his mother.
When they got home, Mu Yazhe carried Yun Shishi to bed and lay beside her. He hugged her gently and said, “Rest well. Don’t let your thoughts run wild…”
Yun Shishi suddenly turned around and threw herself into his arms. She clung to him tightly, desperately immersing herself in the warmth from his body.
“Don’t leave me.”
The man smiled and reassured her, “Okay! I’ll be here. I’ll not go anywhere else.” He patted her back gently and comforted her. “You’ll be fine.”
