Chapter 3380: Nirvana (21)
“Big… Brother…”
Little Yichen heard it clearly and was instantly overjoyed. He immediately carried her in his arms and gently stroked her tender cheeks.
“Yueyao, you must have recognized that this belongs to Youyou, right?”
Little Yueyao lay in his arms, her eyes filled with curiosity as she looked at the purple crystal necklace, her two hands constantly fiddling with it.
Children have a limited memory.
The things she could remember were very limited.
However, Yueyao was a very intelligent child. When Youyou was around, he loved being around her, and she, in turn, was very familiar with him.
As long as the toddler was awake and Youyou entered the room, she would be able to tell whom the person was by listening to the footsteps. Sometimes, when she picked up Youyou’s scent, she would start kicking her legs in excitement!
Yueyao could not speak yet, and had limited ability to reason. Hence, it was hard to tell whom her favorite person was although, everyone thought of himself as Yueyao’s favorite person.
In reality, Yueyao was the most excited when Youyou was around her. She was very familiar with him, so when she saw the amethyst pendant around Little Yichen’s neck, she knew at once that it belonged to Youyou and danced with joy.
However, she seemed to have mistaken Little Yichen for Youyou. After all, the two little guys looked too similar. Furthermore, Yueyao was so young, so while she had initially ignored Little Yichen, when she saw the necklace around his neck, she became excited.
“Big… Brother…^^”
Tears welled up in Little Yichen’s eyes as he hugged Yueyao tightly. He had just woken up from a nightmare and was exhausted, but because of her words, he could no longer hold back his tears.
“Big… Brother…”
Little Yueyao, however, did not quite understand his tears. She fiddled with the amethyst with great interest, as if she loved it dearly.
She did not understand Mu Yichen’s sorrow and heartache, nor did she understand why he was crying. She was completely attracted to the amethyst.
Seeing how much she liked it, Little Yichen returned to his room and unstrung the amethyst beads.
There were two crystals. He strung each separately and went back to the nursery. He fastened the ankle bracelet that he had made for Little Yueyao.
“One for you, one for me.” Little Yichen fiddled with the amethyst pendant and smiled at her. “But you’re not allowed to lose it! This is the amulet Youyou gave us!”
Little Yueyao hugged her foot and, for a moment, lost her balance and fell onto the bed. Amused, Little Yichen smiled and stopped crying.
The little guy finally started speaking, even though the first word she said was not “daddy” or “mommy” but “big brother”. This was somewhat amusing.
If Youyou were here, he would definitely be beaming with joy, right? His dream was to hear Little Yueyao call him “Big Brother”.
However, Little Yichen did not mention this matter to Yun Shishi, as he was worried that his mother might be upset again when she thought of him.
…
The search and rescue operations continued smoothly.
Gong Jie deployed another two patrol ships. The lineup was vast and almost affected the hub of the sea route.
However, half a month had passed and there was still no news of him.
Yun Shishi was not willing to give up as long as there was the slightest ray of hope. Other than sleeping, she spent most of her time on the ship waiting for news, but after half a month, there was still no news.
