Chapter 4253: The Other Side 222
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas StudiosAs a result, whether to Youyou or Little Yichen, they were inseparable from each other.
Little Yichen was overcome with emotion. Suddenly he hugged Youyou tightly and sighed. “Let’s stop overthinking and go to bed early?! Don’t worry, I’ll stay here with you.”
Youyou was exhausted, but he was reluctant to fall asleep. He was afraid that if he did, he would have a nightmare again.
Little Yichen patted him gently on the back and sighed again. “Don’t think too much about it. You can’t stay awake all the time, Youyou. Trust me. I’ll never let anyone hurt you.”
With that reassurance, Youyou felt an inexplicable sense of confidence! He grunted, then closed his eyes briefly.
!!When the first rays of the morning sun shone through the windowsill, Little Yichen half-opened his eyes and saw that the other side of the bed was already empty.
“Youyou?”
Where has he gone? Waking up so early?
Muttering to himself, Little Yichen rolled off the bed and was just leaving the room when he noticed that, for some reason, there was something alien about the familiar surroundings.
“Youyou?” He called out tentatively, but was greeted by the sound of silence.
“Mommy?”
“Daddy…?”
Little Yichen walked towards the door and pushed it open. The huge villa was cold and deserted.
“What was going on…” Little Yichen’s suspicion grew. Where had everyone gone?
He hurried to the door of Yueyao’s room and called out her name as he pushed open the door. It was empty. The lonely crib was still there. On the bed was the handmade wind chime that Yun Shishi had made especially for the girl. The morning breeze blew it in, making it flutter, but it actually sounded desolate in such a lifeless room.
“Yueyao…”
Little Yichen felt strangely uneasy. For some reason, he had a bad feeling.
There was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the door.
The boy heard a small movement and flung open the door. As he stepped outside, he caught the faint scent of blood. He frowned slightly, and felt his heart rate suddenly increase.!
“Youyou…!” He called out again, but suddenly heard voices coming from the kitchen.
Drip, drip, drip…
Drip, drip, drip…
There seemed to be the sound of some water dripping onto the floor. He walked slowly to the kitchen door and saw Youyou standing alone in the kitchen. His stiff, cold back seemed unfamiliar to him for a moment.
“You…” He had just opened his mouth when the boy’s right hand suddenly loosened. Then, a bloodstained fruit knife fell to the ground!
“Ahh…” Little Yichen almost cried out in surprise. The boy turned to him with a cold expression that bore a hint of an icy smile.
“No one should even think of possessing what I cannot have.”
“What… what are you doing!?” Little Yichen was instantly alert. “You’re not Youyou!”
Youyou’s lips curled as he sneered and pressed towards the other boy. “Sooner or later, this body will belong to me! When that happens, Mommy will be mine, and this family will be mine! I’ll never have to be trapped in that cold world again…”
Little Yichen backed away in horror.
