Mu Yichen sat on the chair, his eyelashes trembling violently. Soon after, a tear slowly seeped out of his eyes.
“Despair…” The man in white cape-coat let out a faint sigh! Even the wisest person would find it hard to accept such a sense of despair!
In Little Yichen’s heart, whether it was Yun Shishi or Mu Yazhe, Youyou or Yueyao – it all went without saying how important they were to him. Entering such a bleak and hopeless illusion would have left him in complete despair!
The man studied the boy’s face. Suddenly, he noticed something strange. Little Yichen’s expression gradually softened. It was as though a gentle sense of relief had come over him.
“Youyou… Yueyao…” His lips curled into a loving and warm smile as he gently spoke those names. As if he was gratified.
“What’s going on!?” The man in white stared at him in great surprise and entered his hypnotic illusion. As an experienced hypnotist, he could easily enter the environment of a hypnotized person.
Upon entering the illusion, he saw the boy standing at the entrance of the villa by himself, looking like a lonely child abandoned by the world. However, he then hid in the bushes outside the villa and looked at the courtyard while lying prone in the recessed area.
The man walked to his side. He could see the scene that Little Yichen had created.
Little Yichen could not see him, however, he could also see through the boy’s eyes.
In the courtyard, Youyou sat on the swing while Yun Shishi gently pushed him. Youyou was having fun, and he let out a series of bell-like laughter.
“Haha… Mommy, a little higher! A little higher!”
“Alright!” She laughed as she pushed him higher. Mu Yazhe stood by the side with Yueyao in his arms, watching everything quietly.
The family of four, without Little Yichen, seemed happy still.
Little Yichen did not dare to barge in and disrupt the harmonious moment. He stood guard outside the door and secretly watched this scene, feeling happy from the bottom of his heart!
Especially when he heard Youyou’s crisp laughter, he smiled as he felt genuine gladness!
“Be careful.” He kept watch over them softly, even though he knew no one could see him. He worried that the boy might accidentally fall from the swing.
From the anticipation and envy in his eyes, one could tell that he really wanted to join them. However, he did not dare to interrupt this beautiful moment. He knew that he was no longer welcome or accepted. However, he still harbored a tiny bit of hope. Even if he only hid in an invisible corner and watched this scene, this was good enough for him!
The man in white was somewhat alarmed. He squatted down and studied Mu Yichen. It was hard to imagine that such a child would not feel unfairly treated and indignant over such a chilling scenario!
Would he not be angry? Everyone rejected him, distanced themselves from him, and treated him coldly.
His most beloved younger brother said to him, “Don’t come home!”
His beloved mommy told him, “We don’t need you anymore!”
His most trusted daddy said coldly, ‘Get lost! I don’t want to see you!’
Was he really not sad at all? He had been betrayed by his family. Was there not a hint of disappointment or despair?
Did he really… harbor no hatred at all?.
