When Youyou was resting, Gong Fan would come out. If Gong Fan got tired, would Youyou return?

He should… that should be the correct understanding!

Little Yichen didn’t ask any questions. It seemed that Gong Fan was also in a bad state.

Leaning back in the swing with his head bowed, he told his brother, “Leave me alone.”

“Uh…” Despite his concern, Little Yichen knew that since Gong Fan had shown up, the two personalities must have come to an understanding. Just as well. Because he had woken up from a nightmare, he was a little sleepy now, so he went back to his room to rest.

When he woke up at noon, he changed into his home clothes and went to the living room. He saw Yun Shishi standing in the living room in a daze, looking at the closed door of the dining room with a shocked expression. Although shocked, there was something strange reflected in her eyes… They flickered as if some emotion was building up within.

Little Yichen went to her and tugged gently at her sleeve. “What is it, Mommy?” he whispered.

Only then did Yun Shishi snapped back to her senses. She looked down and saw Little Yichen. It took her a moment to regain her composure.

‘Who’s in the kitchen?’

“Eh? I don’t know.”

Little Yichen thought for a moment, then realized and ventured, “Could it be… Youyou?”

“You…” Yun Shishi furrowed her brow, and her eyes began to flash!

“Why is he … in the kitchen?”

In truth, she knew all too well that the Youyou of Gong Fan’s personality knew nothing about cooking. He didn’t even know how to peel potatoes, let alone cook. But someone was indeed in the kitchen. If it were Youyou, that meant… He was back.

However, when Yun Shishi discovered Youyou in the kitchen, she stood rooted to the ground for more than ten minutes. She understood that the boy must be in there, but she dared not confirm it. What if it was just the nanny?

Sometimes, Mu Yazhe would get the nanny to come in to cook, but it was not an every day affair.

She worried that if she were to walk over and push open the door, she would find that it was the nanny cooking, not the boy. She didn’t dare, couldn’t bear, to face the sense of loss.

Little Yichen walked to the kitchen door and pushed it open. Sure enough, Youyou was standing in front of the oven, carefully removing the Orleans wings. By now, the boy had grown so much taller that he no longer needed to step on a small stool to cook.

Setting the tray aside, he looked in the direction of the door. When he saw that it was his brother, a gentle smile broke across his face. “You’re finally up?”

“Youyou…” Little Yichen had barely gotten the word out when he heard urgent footsteps behind him.

Yun Shishi’s mind went blank. She came to the kitchen entrance and stared at the boy standing by the oven with his gloves on. Tears welled up in her eyes.

“You…”

When the boy saw her, he calmly removed his gloves and turned to her with a tender expression.

“Mommy, it’s time to eat!”

Mommy… His tone alone brought a sense of warmth that she had not felt for a long time!

It was him… It had to be him!

He… That little angel, the first light of her life, had finally returned to her!

“Youyou…” She threw herself at the boy and pulled him into her arms, hugging him tight!

“It’s… it’s you. It’s really you!”
