Mist filled the bathroom. Gradually, the boy relaxed as well. His muscles were no longer as tense as before as he allowed Yun Shishi to spread the soapy foam on him.
She used a very gentle and light motion to smear the foam over him and it allowed his muscles to expand and bones to stretch out reflexively. She then applied some more shampoo to his hair. She spread it carefully so that not a speck of foam entered his eyes. Youyou went into a lull for a long time
because of the gentle and comfortable motion.
After the shower, Yun Shishi carried Youyou onto the cushion and wrapped him in a large bathrobe to wipe down his body. Youyou remained silent, but he did not show much resistance.
Was he… gradually accepting her?! Her heart was filled with warmth at the thought of this.
She firmly believed that even if his memories had been erased, there would be some fetters that could never be broken… blood was thicker than water! She believed that Youyou would recover.
Yun Shishi carried Youyou into the room but was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she took out a pileof fairy tale books from the bedside table. In the past, Youyou loved her reading bedtime stories.
In the time that Youyou was gone, Little Yichen had secretly hidden these fairy tale books away. Yun Shishi thought that the books had been thrown out, so after feeling sad for a while, she went to the bookstore and bought more fairy tale books to place on the bedside table in Youyou’s room.
Every time a new fairy tale book was released, she would buy it and would not miss out on even one. Youyou looked at the fairy tale book she was holding up with a puzzled look.
“Don’t you remember? You used to love Mommy reading fairy tales to you.”
Yun Shishi turned to the first page. The story was “The Little Mermaid” by Andersen. Her fingertips lightly caressed the words, and for a moment, she was filled with emotions!
This was also the very first fairy tale she read to Youyou in the past. At that time, Youyou was young and did not fully understand the story. After reading it a few times, he finally understood that it was a tragic story.
Youyou lay down on the bed while Yun Shishi adjusted the blanket over him.
“Have you heard of ‘The Little Mermaid’?”
The boy blinked but remained silent.
She added, “You probably do not remember. I’ll read it again, hmm?”
The boy slowly closed his eyes as Yun Shishi held the book in her hands and gently read aloud.
“In the depths of the vast sea, there is a kingdom of fish. The Sea King has six beautiful daughters, especially his youngest daughter, who is more beautiful than any of her sisters. She is kind and pure, and has a beautiful and moving voice. They live a carefree life in the sea. The Old Grandmother
sometimes tells them interesting stories about the world beyond the sea. These stories made the youngest princess yearn for that world.”
As Yun Shishi read aloud, memories of the past came back to her. She could almost see the three-year-old Youyou hugging a pillow and leaning against the headboard, looking at her with longing in his eyes.
“Mommy, do these fish look like humans?”
“No, they have human bodies but fish tails.”
“Then how do they breathe in the sea?”
Yun Shishi was stumped for a moment. Then she quickly said, “They are the spirits of the sea. They can swim and breathe freely in the sea.”
“How can they walk when they come ashore?”
