4022 A Perfect Match (218)

The first item on his wish list, the boy wrote: I wish for Mommy's daily morning kiss and goodnight kiss.

Laughing, Yun Shishi gently wrapped her arms around his nape and kissed him.

Smack.

"Good morning, Youyou!"

Pursing his lips and blushing, the boy also stood on tiptoe and kissed her lightly on the cheek. "Good morning, Mommy."

Yun Shishi immediately said, "Good boy. From now on, Mommy will definitely give you a morning kiss and a goodnight kiss every day until you get married."

"Uh huh."

"And what is the second item?" She looked at the next item on the wish list. The second entry read: Say "I love you" to Youyou.

"Are all your wishes so simple?" She muttered under her breath, what an easy little lad to satisfy! She hugged him and said, "I love you, Youyou. Mommy always will!"

When the boy heard this, he broke into a warm smile. A warm sensation spread through his heart instantly. He snuggled up to Yun Shishi and rested his head on her knee, staying quietly by her side.

He wished time would stop still. He wanted to hold her just like that, and wished that they would never part. Her warm embrace was what he found most difficult to part with. But… Deep inside, it was clear to him. Time would not stop still, nor would it stop right here. That was why he cherished every second he had.

His meekness and dependency endeared him to Yun Shishi. Hugging him from behind, she slowly scanned his list of wishes.

"4. Build a snowman with Mommy, 5. Celebrate my missed birthday with Little Yichen, 6.Go to the amusement park with Mommy and Daddy…"

Gradually, for some reason, her nose began to sting. The list of wishes in Youyou's notebook was ridiculously simple, but almost every item had something to do with her. At the same time, she felt an inexplicable sense of unease.

This wish list actually made her feel a little heavy-hearted, as if, having fulfilled all the wishes on the list, the boy would leave her.She didn't know why she'd made that assumption. However, facing such an abnormal version of Youyou, she also became very sensitive.

In the past, the boy would never be this clingy to her. There was a sort of fearlessness, as if life was a long journey and there would always be countless opportunities to accomplish many things. Whereas, this list of wishes made her feel as though the boy was saying good-bye to her.

It was as though… His time with her was running out, so he wanted to take advantage of the limited time to accomplish all his unfinished business and leave without regrets.

And she had no idea why she felt that way. However, when she saw the final item of the wish list, "Take a family photo", her heart skipped a beat and she felt an inexplicable heartache.

"Why … do you have these wishes?" She probed. "So many wishes. There's plenty of time for them later. There's no rush to realize them now, is there?"

Actually, none of them was a wish. Because every item was something she could do easily. For example, going to the amusement park, making up for a missed birthday, baking him a cake… Taking a family portrait… These were all very simple things.
