The next few days on the vessel were restless and trying for Little Yichen. He wholeheartedly looked forward to the day of his reunion with his family and wished it would come sooner! He really missed home.
Lisa knew that Little Yichen thought of home all the time. It was evident when he was undergoing hypnosis. How strong his willpower must have been, to resist such a terrifying hypnosis process to the extent that it failed?
Little Yichen actually did what Youyou could not! She could not help being impressed by him!
After sailing for half a month⦠finally! Little Yichen was overjoyed when he learned that they would be arriving at the capitalâs harbor the next morning!
That night, he was sleepless! He had lost count of the time that he had been away from home! He wondered if Youyou had been getting along with his parents or regained his memory after returning to the Mu family home.
In the middle of the night, Lisa woke up and saw that the bed next to hers was empty. Little Yichen was missing. She got up and went to the deck. There, she spotted him leaning against the railing, looking out to the horizon. The other shore was the capitalâs harbor.
That was the direction of home. His home.
He kept looking in that direction. Lisa walked over and teased, âWhy? Are you too excited to sleep now that youâre almost home?â
Little Yichen did not reply. Instead, his voice trembled as he said, âLisa, can you imagine?! Iâll be able to see Mommy in six hours!â
Lisa was suddenly silent.
âNot only Mommy, but Daddy, Youyou, Yueyaoâ¦â A blissful smile spread across his face as he spoke.
Surprisingly, Lisa was also affected by his emotions and smiled sincerely. âDo you miss home that much?â
âUh huh!â
Lisa rested her elbow on the railing and propped her chin on her hand as she asked curiously, âMu Yichen, whatâs it like to have a home?â
He was surprised that Lisa would ask such a question. In the past, Lisa would find such a question extremely childish. However, she was actually taking the initiative to ask now.
He was a little curious, but he also seriously considered how to answer this question.
âItâs not really easy to explain. Itâs just⦠a very warm feeling!â
Warm?
Lisa laughed. This was an ambiguous answer. Little Yichen said, âI love it when Mommy reads me bedtime stories. I like to lie in her arms and listen to her gentle voice! My mommyâs voice is the best sound in the world! Listening to her voice, I can fall asleep peacefully. Speaking of which, I can no longer remember the stories she told me, but I really like that feeling. Listening to her voice and falling asleep⦠Iâll never have nightmares again.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lisa listened intently. When he suddenly stopped speaking, she asked curiously, âWhat else?â
âAndâ¦â Little Yichen grinned. âEvery time I made a mistake or Youyou pushed the blame to meâas you know-Youyou is my younger brother, so I have to give in to him! However, even if Mommy is angry, she wonât be fierce towards me. If sheâs really upset, sheâll definitely be so angry that sheâll cry! Iâm so afraid to see her upset, so I keep telling myself not to make Mommy cry. Otherwise, Iâd feel really guilty!â âUh huhâ¦â
âFurthermore my daddy had warned meââ.
Little Yichen pretended to imitate the way Mu Yazhe spoke. âYouâre not to make my wife cry, understand?!â
