Yueyao felt inexplicably close to Youyou! This surprised even Yun Shishi.

After all, the child's memory was limited. Even if in the past, Youyou used to be the closest to her and doted on her the most. He would carry her, and take photos of her endlessly like a smitten fool.

Except that at the time, Yueyao was extremely cold towards Youyou. However, Youyou had left for more than a year, so Yueyao should not have remembered! She clung on to Youyou like a koala bear and rested her head on his shoulder, looking extremely satisfied.

Yun Shishi teased the child, "Yueyao, what about Little Yichen?" She thought that Yueyao had mistaken Youyou as Little Yichen.

'When Yueyao had finally started learning how to speak, Little Yichen taught her his name. Yueyao also learned to recognize the names of all her family members except Youyou.

Whenever Yun Shishi asked, "Where's Little Yichen?" Yueyao would point at Little Yichen. When asked, "Where's Mu Yazhe?", she would also look in the appropriate direction and point at her father.

Yun Shishi did not specially teach her Youyou's name, for this name had become an unspeakable pain in her heart. Whether it was Mu Yazhe or Gong Jie, they would try their best to avoid bringing his name up if they could. Hence, Yueyao did not know Youyou's name.

However, because Youyou and Little Yichen looked alike, the child could have had them mixed up.

"Where's Little Yichen?"

When Yueyao heard Yun Shishi mention Little Yichen's name, she responded by looking around. However, she did not see Little Yichen and asked in a daze, "Where's Little Yichen?"

Yun Shishi was stunned. If Yueyao had mistaken Youyou for Little Yichen, she would have pointed at Youyou. But he did not. Yun Shishi never expected that after more than a year… Yueyao actually remembered Youyou's face and could even differentiate between Youyou and Little Yichen.

Youyou was a little suspicious of her question. "Who is Little Yichen?"

Yun Shishi said gently, "Little Yichen is your elder brother, and you two are twins. You look exactly the same. No one else can tell you apart except your family, but I didn't expect Yueyao to be able to tell you apart from Little Yichen."

After a pause, she continued sadly, "After all, Yueyao was only less than a year old when you… when you had an accident."

Hearing this, Youyou's thoughts were thrown into confusion.

"Thave… an elder brother?" There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Yun Shishi immediately flipped through the photographs. She found a family portrait and she showed it to Youyou. Youyou looked at the family portrait. In the picture, Yun Shishi was sitting with Yueyao in her arms. She was flanked by a pair of identical-looking boys.

Sunset.

Of the two children, one was smiling gently while the other was smiling as brightly as the sun. They looked exactly the same, except for the slight difference in height. Even he could not tell which child was himself.

This was his first time seeing such a family portrait ever since he returned to the Mu family home.

At first glance, it was extremely shocking!

Yun Shishi had insisted that he was her son and her precious one. All along, Youyou had his suspicions about it. The reason why he was not so resistant towards her now was not because he believed that he was her son, but because he felt inexplicably close to her.

'When he saw this photograph, he could not help wondering if it was really as she said. He… was closely related to her.

Was it possible?

This was too conflicting with his own memories..
