In the past, when he and Little Yichen stood side by side, many people would mistake them for each other. But Yun Shishi could always tell them apart. And now, it was also only Yun Shishi who could distinguish between the two independent personalities.

Youyou was touched and put his arm around her shoulders. He gently kissed her forehead. “Mommy, I love you.”

“Uh huh!” She wrapped her arms gently around him. “Are you still sleepy? Do you want to take another nap?”

“I’m not sleepy anymore. I just want to keep hugging Mommy like this.” The boy snuggled his head gently into her arms as he spoke.

Yun Shishi found herself chastising him. “You’re all grown up and you’re still clinging to Mommy. How are you going to get yourself a wife in the future?”

“Wife is as important as Mommy.”

“Hmm… Our Youyou is really a mommy’s boy. In the future, you’re not allowed to cling to Mommy like this. Girls don’t like mommy’s boys.”

The boy pouted. “Is it wrong for me to love Mommy? If Mommy has said and done nothing wrong, why wouldn’t I do whatever Mommy says?”

“Will you still be so clingy when you grow up?”

The boy thought for a moment. “It depends,” he said solemnly. “If Mommy becomes senile, I won’t do whatever you say.”

“Mommy will never be senile, even when you’re all grown up!” she said bitterly.

The boy laughed at that. “Yes! Mommy is so young. When I turn 30, Mommy will only be 48!”

Angry and amused, she rubbed his head to soothe him. “Close your eyes again and rest for a while more.”

Obediently, Youyou wrapped his arms around her waist and closed his eyes.

“Mommy…”

“Mmm?”

“It’s very strange that recently, Gong Fan seems to sleep for a long time before he wakes.”

When she heard this, she knew that the boy was worried about Gong Fan. “Isn’t that a good thing?” she reassured him. “At least then you’ll have more time for Mommy.”

“But…” The boy found it rather unbearable. He said sadly, “Wouldn’t he have very little time to see Mommy if this were the case?”

“…”

“He feels a lot lonelier than I do and needs company more. Subconsciously, I wish I could give this body to him and let him spend more time with Mommy, but… he’s been so strange recently. He always sleeps for a long time.”

“Uh…” Yun Shishi found herself hesitating. She realized that Youyou had noticed some minor changes in his body. He was apprehensive about these changes that would come, just as she herself was nervous. But no matter what, she would be there for him and she would accompany him through it.

“Don’t overthink it. Anyway, if you let your imagination run wild, it won’t change anything. Just know that whatever happens, Mommy will be there for you.”

The boy smiled at that. “Okay!”

…

The boy lazed in bed for a while longer with his arms around his mother. When he was no longer sleepy, he got up.

By then, Hua Jin had reheated the food. At noon, everyone had eaten except the two of them. Yun Shishi only just realized it was already 2pm, but she did not feel the least bit hungry.

She asked Hua Jin, “Where’s Natalia? Is she taking a nap?”
