Chapter 4020: A Perfect Match (216)

At the same time, Gong Shaoying’s words reminded him. “The first personality can never be destroyed.”

Was that true? The boy replayed those words over and over again, but he felt a strange sense of dread. The first personality could never be destroyed, but the second personality could disappear forever. He was the second personality. He was in danger of being destroyed by the first personality. To disappear from this world forever…

The boy frowned, his delicate, handsome face troubled and hesitant. Then, as if he had finally made up his mind about something, an icy smile appeared on his cold lips.

Gong Jie and Yun Shishi returned to the Mu family residence. When they saw no sign of Youyou, they got nervous. Little Yichen was taking his afternoon nap. Yun Shishi shook him awake and asked him where the boy had gone.

Little Yichen said, “Isn’t Youyou at home?”

The two adults looked at each other. Yun Shishi finally panicked. Why wasn’t Youyou at home? Where could he have gone if he wasn’t at home?

More than a year had passed since that incident, and it had been more than a year since the boy had returned from Acklan Island. She remembered that when he first came home, he had been extremely cold to both her and Mu Yazhe. Her heart ached for him. Having lost all his memories, he had become so cold.

However, finding what she had lost made her cherish what she had. She stayed by him patiently, taking care of him, and eventually the boy was no longer estranged from her or so cold towards her. He had come to accept her as his own and was willing to accommodate the family.

Initially, she would worry that the boy would slip away from her one night. But now, although the boy was not as simple and lovely as he had once been, he was gradually opening his heart to her. He was becoming fond of clinging to her.

Usually the boy would not wander off. Something must have happened. He was beginning to know how to feel sorry for her and not worry her. How could a boy like that suddenly disappear without a word?

Just as she was beginning to feel extremely worried, the boy obediently returned home more than half an hour later.

“Mommy!”

She was just about to call her husband and tell him to hurry home to look for the boy, but as she picked up her phone, the door flew open. Yun Shishi and Gong Jie turned in unison and to their amazement, the boy strolled in.

Yun Shishi was stunned for a brief moment. Then she was so nervous that she immediately lunged forward and took him in her arms.

“Where have you been, Youyou?”

The warmth of her arms made him yearn for her. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and gently stroked her hair. “I was bored at home,” he said soothingly. “I went for a walk. Just a casual stroll.” His tone was extremely doting, but he seemed a little absent-minded as he spoke.

He saw her nervousness, but felt at a loss. Was such anxiety real? Was such warmth also real? He had no idea. He wondered if her concern was for him or… for this body. Her conversation with Gong Shaoying continued to replay in his ears. She said she was waiting for Youyou to come back to her.

“Are you feeling cold, Youyou?” Her gentle voice interrupted his thoughts.

It was starting to snow outside. She wondered where and how far he had gone on his solitary walk. The thought of it made her heart ache.
