Mu Yazhe finally recognized him. The boy standing before him was not Gong Fan, but Youyou. The innocent, sweet, kind Youyou. So understanding, thoughtful, and gentle.

Mu Yazhe was choked by emotions.

“Youyou…” He called out the boy’s name, except that there was too much hoarseness in his voice.

Even though it had been so long since he’d seen him, there was no unfamiliarity at all. It was as if the scene of the boy standing before him last happened only yesterday.

“Daddy…” He took a deep breath, opened his bright eyes again, and opened his arms shakily.

The man felt a sharp pain in his heart when he saw the boy’s fingertips trembling with tension.

He took a slight step forward and drew the boy tightly into his arms. “You’re back!” He sighed and looked a little bitter!

The boy was full of emotions upon hearing this. Tears were already rolling down from his eyes subconsciously. He could hear how much his father had missed him.

It had been so long. Over a year. While he had been asleep all that time, Daddy, just like Mommy, must have looked forward to his return!

Little Yichen walked out into the corridor and happened to see this. For some reason, he was deeply moved. He hid in a corner and watched surreptitiously, but soon, he was by Yun Shishi’s side, his arm around her waist, watching this scene with her.

The father and son didn’t seem to have much in the way of words or physical gestures as the boy did with Yun Shishi. They simply embraced each other, but for some reason it made Yun Shishi’s heart ache. However, it was a heartwarming moment to witness the unbreakable father-and-son bond between Mu Yazhe and Youyou.

In fact, it was different from Yun Shishi.

Being a man, Mu Yazhe’s emotional expression was not as rich as a woman’s. Normally, he would not display or vocalize it much. Sometimes, when Yun Shishi missed Youyou so much that she could not sleep all night, he would even comfort her and make light of it.

But in fact… The man did not miss the boy any lesser.

Still holding the boy, he let out a long, deep sigh. “I’ve missed you, Youyou!”

Those words brought tears to the boy’s eyes. Youyou back his tears, pursed his lips, and tightened his arms around his father’s neck!

“Daddy, I’ve missed you too!” Embracing him and terribly moved, Youyou said, “I thought about you all the time!”

He’d been looking forward to this moment of reunion for so long, and now that he was actually seeing his father again, the boy felt as if his heart was full of hot lava that was spreading throughout his body.

As Yun Shishi watched this, she too, felt the warmth overflowing. She didn’t dare, and couldn’t bear to interrupt them. She watched as they embraced, so quietly, that even her breathing was light and shallow.

The man sat at the table with the boy in his arms. As he looked at the sumptuous spread, he felt a surge of many emotions.

“It seems a long time since I’ve had a meal cooked by Youyou!”

Youyou was surprised for a moment to hear this. “Doesn’t ‘he’ know how to cook?”

They both knew full well who Youyou meant by “he”.

“No! he doesn’t know how to cook or do household chores.”
