The both of them froze at this sudden movement.
Looking at the broken gla.s.s on the floor, Youyou was inexplicably vexed.
Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ stared at the shards of gla.s.s and for a moment, she was unsure if the broken bits came from the gla.s.s or… her heart! She pursed her lips as tears rolled down her cheeks. Suddenly, she knelt down on one knee and started picking up the pieces.
“Mommy, let’s all four of us use the same gla.s.ses at home in the future, shall we?”
She recalled that not long after Yueyao was born, Youyou had very excitedly brought the set of five gla.s.ses to her. On each of three of the cups, there was an image of a cute sun, while each of the other two carried an image of a beautiful personified moon. Youyou said that his father, Little Yichen, and
himself were the suns that protected the moons and gave them a warm glow.
The moon borrows its light from the sun.
Gong Jie even threw a tantrum, upset that none of the five cups represented him!
Youyou, on the other hand, muttered, “An uncle, once married, is like spilled water, lost forever!”
He placed the five cups on the shelf and set them aside from the other cups.
Her tears kept falling. They fell onto the carpet and stained it.
She picked up the fragments bit by bit. Then, her gaze fell on the shattered image of the sun. Her hands suddenly trembled uncontrollably, and she accidentally cut her finger.
A bead of blood appeared.
However, she did not feel any pain at all. She held the broken pieces in her hands and her tears continued to fall silently.
Youyou tightened his grip on the bedsheets when he saw that Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was crying.
The bedsheets were crumpled into a ball, just like his inner world!
“Stop picking it up!”
Unexpectedly, the moment he uttered those words, Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+’s tears fell even more violently and she started sobbing uncontrollably.
Youyou frowned again. Her crying gave him an unbearable headache! He held his forehead and looked helplessly at Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, who was squatting by the bed and quietly sobbing. He did not know what to do with her!
“You actually knew why Alice came to the island. You also recognized Gong Jie and I.”
The sea breeze blew gently.
Little Yichen sat on the beach with his coat draped over his shoulders. By the sea, the bright moon looked as if half of it was submerged in the water, as if it was rising from the sea. It was a beautiful sight.
Lisa stood beside him and looked at the half-immersed moon. She imagined the sea to be the tears of the moon that had gathered into a giant pool.
‘Without saying a word, she sat down beside Little Yichen and looked into the distant horizon. Her lips twitched as she said, “I’m Young Master Jie’s servant. How could I not recognize you?”
He turned to look at her in surprise. “So, you did it on purpose?”
“On purpose?” Lisa smiled. “Do what on purpose?”
“You knew that Youyou and I had swapped places, but you allowed Gong Jie take Youyou away.”
The girl’s silence was like an admission of her guilt!
“Why?!” Little Yichen could not understand it. “Isn’t it your mission to take care of Youyou? If he’s taken away, it means that you’ve failed in your duty! Aren’t you worried that Gong Shaoying would hold you accountable?”
Instead of answering, Lisa asked, “Do you know what faith is?”
Little Yichen was stunned by her sudden question..
