Through the window, Youyou could see a blue body of water. He knew that they were traveling on the sea, which meant he was very much a prisoner. It would be almost impossible for him to escape. It seemed he was destined to be held captive by this man. Since this was the case, he thought he might as
well go with the flow.
Youyou lay down on the bed and said coldly, “You don’t have to watch over me. I can’t escape anyway.”
Gong Jie was surprised at the boy’s calmness and widened his eyes. However, he quickly laughed it off and stood up. “Have a good rest today then. You’ll be home tomorrow.”
With that, he left the room. When the door closed, Youyou closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
In the meantime, at the Mu residence, Yun Shishi was restless. She retuned to her bedroom, and tossed and turned in bed. She could not sleep well and felt uneasy. Gong Jie had sent a message saying that he was already on the way back with Youyou and told her not to worry.
However, she was nervous, excited, and uneasy. She was a little worried about her son, but she was even more worried about Little Yichen. Would he be too lonely, staying alone on the island?
Initially, she did not agree to this proposal! Although this would bring Youyou back, but what about Little Yichen? Was he supposed to stay on that island indefinitely, on Youyou’s behalf? She heard that there was nothing on that island apart from a huge castle. It was almost isolated from the rest of the
world, Wouldn’t Little Yichen feel lonely? Just imagining Little Yichen staying on the island alone made her heart ache. She felt that it was too unfair to him. She also felt that Mu Yazhe was heartless.
However, Little Yichen said that he was only temporarily replacing Youyou. It did not mean that he would never return. It was a matter of urgency to bring Youyou back and recover his memory as soon as possible. Everything else could be settled afterward. If Youyou continued to stay on the island,
nothing would go smoothly in the future.
Yun Shishi reluctantly agreed.
Before Little Yichen left, Yun Shishi held him to sleep for the night. Little Yichen hugged her tightly. As he was going away for a long time and did not know when he would be back, he could not help but feel a little reluctant. Afraid that it would add to his sadness, Little Yichen did not dare to linger before
they set off, and left in a hurry.
Now that Youyou was already on his way back, she felt inexplicably uneasy.
Two days later, the ships docked at the port.
‘Mu Yazhe and Yun Shishi were waiting at the harbor ahead of time. When Gong Jie carried Youyou off the ship, Yun Shishi saw them from afar. She and Mu Yazhe excitedly dashed up to them, but before they even got close, tears started streaming down their faces!
Youyou looked at the tall and handsome man in the crowd whose eyes were fixed on him, but the boy looked away coldly. However, when his gaze fell on Yun Shishi and saw her looking at him expectantly with bloodshot eyes, for some reason, his heart began to beat erratically. Youyou felt oddly stunned
by his own strange reaction.
Yun Shishi walked up to him and held his face in her hands. Looking left and right, she still could not believe that it was really him. She felt like this was a dream. It was only when she caressed his face and touched him with her fingertips that she was sure it was real!
She hugged him tightly in her arms.. Hot tears fell on his shoulders as she said in a quivering voice, “Youyou, is it really you”
