As the mother and son pair wiped each other’s tears, they cried and laughed at the same time.
Little Yichen stood there, feeling both envious and relieved. Relieved that mother and son were finally reunited.
He was envious because the bond between Mommy and Youyou was beyond anyone’s reach. Youyou had always said that he relied on his mother. In fact, in comparison, Yun Shishi relied on him even more. She had brought him into this world, but he had redeemed her. No matter what, no one could match Youyou’s place in Yun Shishi’s heart.
Little Yichen understood that Youyou meant something special to Mommy, and Mommy meant something special to Youyou. But he wasn’t jealous. Without disturbing them, the boy quietly backed out of the dining room, leaving the door slightly ajar to give them more privacy.
There’s nothing more touching than reunion.
Even though neither of them said very much, just embracing each other was more than words could convey.
The door was slightly ajar.
After Little Yichen was gone, Youyou finally spoke. “Mommy, don’t cry. I’ll feel bad if you do.” It felt as though his heart was being cut by a knife.
Pouting, Yun Shishi said coquettishly, “Mommy thought I’d never see you again… all this time, Mommy’s been trying to find a solution. They all said you have a split personality, and your first personality had been destroyed. Mommy didn’t believe them…”
She choked on her words, unable to continue.
Youyou felt a dull pain in his heart. Back then, when he had chosen to go to sleep, he had his worries. He could not let go of his mommy, but he knew that he could no longer contain his second personality. He also felt tired. And so, for a moment, there was a selfish thought. He chose to sleep, to rest… He was tired. But now, he regretted that decision! Nothing was more important than Mommy.
“Mommy, I was wrong…” Youyou lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong. He looked sad and disappointed. “I’ve caused you to worry …”
Yun Shishi merely hugged him but said nothing. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to speak. She just couldn’t. She hadn’t been able to sleep properly for a long time after learning that the boy’s personality had been “killed.” She had never quite understood what split personality was. Was it an illness or something else? So she and her husband had gone through the relevant information in earnest, and she came to understand what split personality was.
There were only about a thousand cases of split personalities in the world. Youyou was one of them!
Besides “split personality”, there is also “multiple personalities”. In multiple personalities, as the name suggests, a number of personalities exist. The personalities outside the primary personality may be young girls, knowledgeable professors, or weathered elders. The memories of these personalities are not interlinked. The personalities are independent and do not interfere with each other.
Someone had even set a record for having 24 personalities.
Youyou had only two personalities, but, as a rule, split personalities were supposed to be independent of each other and unaware of each other’s existence. However the boy was vaguely aware of it.
Yun Shishi recalled the analysis made by a professor that it could be because the boy’s sixth sense was particularly acute. Before this, the boy’s primary personality had been vaguely aware of the presence of another self. The second personality, on the other hand, had never known the existence of the first. However, after Alice’s hypnosis, she had created a fantasy world.
