How could things have turned out this way?
Youyou⦠She really thought that Youyou was back! She really thought that the gentle Youyou of the past was back! However, in the blink of an eye, he had gone back to being that cold, emotionless person.
âHow did this happen?â Yun Shishi said anxiously, âJust now, it was clearly Youyouâ¦â She cried with heartache and said to Mu Yazhe, âI just heard Youyou calling me âmommy *â¦â
The man felt a dull ache in his heart as well. He put his arms around Yun Shishi and kissed her forehead. âShishi, donât be like this. Donât be anxious. Didnât we say to take it slow?â
She turned to look at the child in her arms and suddenly begged, âPlease! Let Youyou come back, okay?! I wish to see Youyou, I wish to see Youyouâ¦â
She had no idea what nonsense she was spouting! Her thoughts were in turmoil. The only thing she could sense was that there seemed to be two souls residing in this childâs body.
âOne was the former Youyou. The other was the present Youyou, who had been given the name âGong Fanâ. She missed the Youyou of the past, and wanted to see him again and hear him call her âmommyâ. She wanted that Youyou to return. She had been waiting patiently all this while!
But
Her hopes were dashed again! Her disappointed expression undoubtedly agitated the child.
The child looked at her coldly and finally spoke. âIâm not Youyou.â
âThen, can you let Youyou come back?â
Yun Shishi humbled herself as much as she could and was practically begging him!
The child suddenly felt extremely annoyed!
Youyou, Youyou, Youyou⦠Listening to this name that did not belong to him every day made his ears grow calluses!
So it seemed this woman treated him so gently only because she wanted to wake up that âYouyouâ?!
Who she needed was this âYouyouâ, and the same went for Yun Shishi, Mu Yazhe, and Yueyao.
All of them wanted the other âYouyou, and not him.
âThe strange thing was that he was actually moved by her gentleness. He even instinctively yearned for her warmth and tenderness. Instinctively, he wanted to rely on her and⦠hug her!
However, right from the onset, he had been treated as another âYouyouâ! What she needed, what she loved, what she missed, was never him! All along, he had been neededâ, cared for, and loved because they wanted to find the shadow of the other âYouyouâ in him! It was as if this body had always
belonged to âYouyouâ, while he was treated as an invader. He dominated this body and was treated as an enemy!
He has never been needed. To the extent that he was even rejected? Abhorred? And detested! He also had hoped to work hard to adapt to the role of âYouyouâ. But he was not Youyou! So⦠stop calling him Youyou!
âThe child was anxious and frustrated. He pushed her away abruptly. âI told you! Iâm not Youyou!â
Yun Shishi fell to the ground in shock! Mu Yazhe looked at the boy in disbelief as well. He did not expect him to return to that cold personality of when he first came home! The child was clearly losing control of his emotions!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He stood up, his body swaying slightly. The child struggled to regain his balance and turned to look at Yun Shishi. He said in disappointment and anger, âDonât call me by that name again! Iâm not Youyou, Iâm not!â
âYouyou.
The child trembled and suddenly interrupted, âThatâs enough!â
