Chapter 4019: A Perfect Match (215)

Sigh. Gong Shaoying let out a heavy sigh and fell back onto the sofa in deadly silence.

The door swung open again.

Gong Jie entered and saw him sitting in the gloom, looking depressed. Father, he finally said.

Gong Shaoying nodded. How is she?

Shes left. Ive asked the driver to send her home.

You should send her home yourself. Otherwise, Ill be worried.

But you

You dont have to worry about me. Gong Shaoying waved his hand weakly. Ill be fine sitting alone for a bit.

Without another word, Gong Jie turned and left. The door shut behind him. However, Gong Shaoying did not notice the figure hiding quietly in the corner of the escalator on the second floor.

The boy stood expressionlessly in the corner. Earlier, when he heard what Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ and Gong Shaoying said, he had felt a little upset. Loss, grievance, loneliness, unwillingness, guilt He knew that the sweet, innocent boy he had once been, held an unshakable place in his mothers heart. He also understood that even giving everything he had might not replace the boys former place in her heart. But he wanted to try.

So he occupied this body and stayed with her, all he wanted was her acknowledgment. He wanted to replace the previous Youyou. But it didnt seem possible

No one can ever replace another person. Everyone is unique. No one can be replaced.

But why couldnt he? Had he not done well enough? Was he not as good as that Youyou? He was already trying to change. Mommy loved to see him smile. Even if he wasnt very used to smiling at others, he tried to be sunny, tried to be that innocent and simple character. However, he was the second personality to begin with, a personality born of darkness. How could he transform into real sunlight?

This was a disguised suppression. He had also toyed with the idea of giving up. He wanted to give up and let the original boy return to his body. Whereas the boy had chosen to sleep forever and never wake up.

But He couldnt do it. Even though he was born of darkness, he instinctively felt the warmth. Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was as warm as the sun. Gradually, he became fatally dependent on such warmth. That was why he was hogging this body. He wanted to play the part of the previous Youyou and claim all her favor. But now, hed heard it with his own ears. Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ missed the previous Youyou so much that she wanted him back with her.

Hed learned from Gong Jie that Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was meeting with Gong Shaoying, so hed come here in secret. He hadnt told anyone, just because he was worried. Hence, hed hidden himself on the second floor and overheard their conversation. Except that after hearing her true thoughts, he could not help feeling a little sad.

Was he unwanted? The boy could not help doubting himself.

She seemed to miss the previous Youyou, but what about him? Didnt she need him? Couldnt he replace the other boy? So what was the point of his existence now?

The boy put his hand over his heart and squatted down, looking forlorn, hugging himself helplessly. He craved warmth too. He was Youyou, too. He was part of this life. Why was he not needed and so rejected? He he wanted a family too!
