"How did the baby find its parents?"
Song Yun wanted to know clearly: Were you scared when you first went to the underworld? Were you scared when you saw the ugly ghost messengers?
Shen Bai answered in the next second:
"I met a calf and a pony. They played with me, gave me juice... and then I went to find my mom and dad."
"Hmm, what happened next? Did you go anywhere else and see any other people?"
Song Yun guessed that the calf and the horse must be Ox-Head and Horse-Face, since children call the Black and White Impermanence "Big Black" and "Big White".
[Of course he went to Dongyue Palace, but if Xiaobai tells him that, will he think Xiaobai is lying?]
Did he really go to Dongyue Palace? Then does that mean...?
Song Yun could only coax him to speak softly. In order not to reveal that he could read minds, Song Yun had to make him speak before he could continue talking about himself and his relationship.
Shen Bai nestled into his arms.
"Tell me, okay? Baby, wife?"
His voice was so gentle that Shen Bai couldn't help but say it.
“I went to the Dongyue Palace and saw the portrait of the Dongyue Emperor.”
Shen Bai was in Song Yun's arms, and he could hear his chest pounding violently.
Even the arms holding him tightened a little.
"So, baby, does anything come to mind?"
Shen Bai fell silent.
But Song Yun remained patient, waiting for him to say it himself.
"I am Baiyue Xianjun, raised by the Great Emperor of Dongyue, Xiaobaiyue."
Song Yun buried her face in Shen Bai's shoulder, deeply inhaling the faint scent of Chinese medicine emanating from him.
My heart melted completely; it turned out he already knew.
"My little white moon, do you remember who I am?"
Shen Bai's figure stiffened for a moment, his hand grabbing Song Yun's clothes helplessly.
"Are you the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak?"
He wasn't sure if Song Yun had those memories, but he called him Little White Moon, so could it be that he remembered them?
Shen Bai's heart was pounding. So Song Yun was the Emperor of Dongyue? What should he do?
The sudden change in identity left Shen Bai somewhat at a loss, unsure of how to cope.
She could only bury her face in Song Yun's arms and refused to come out.
"It's me, Xiaobaiyue, it's me."
He looked down at the person preparing the quails, his eyes slightly red.
This is his precious child, the little white moon he watched grow up, who has suffered a lot here.
Will it be even more painful if I have the memory?
"I'm sorry, my brother has no memory of the past, and I've made you suffer."
Shen Bai kept his head down and didn't speak. Song Yun felt a little flustered and spoke in a pitiful tone.
"Honey, don't you love me anymore?"
[It's not that I don't like him, it's that I hate him! He regained his memories and didn't even tell me! How awful!]
[It forces me to keep pretending; I was bad at Dongyue Palace, and I'm even worse here.]
"I was wrong, honey, I know I was wrong. Can I let you hit me back?"
Song Yun tried to pull Chen Bai's hand and hit himself with it.
Shen Bai immediately pulled his hand away.
"snort!"
"What can I do to get your forgiveness? Please say something, baby?"
Shen Bai remained silent, letting Song Yun worry on his own.
Song Yun was indeed very anxious and just wanted to appease him and make him happy.
Little did he know, Shen Bai was secretly smiling with her eyes crinkling in his arms.
[Hehe, I'll talk to him after he starts crying, and then I'll take a picture and laugh at him.]
Song Yun found these words adorable, but knowing that he wasn't really angry, she felt much relieved.
If the child wants to see him cry, then let him cry; he can't just stay silent.
Song Yun rested her forehead on Shen Bai's shoulder and pretended to sob a few times.
Shen Bai indeed looked up.
[You really cried?]
Song Yun's shoulders trembled, as if he was extremely sad. However, Shen Bai did not feel the happiness he had imagined. Instead, he felt a tightness in his chest.
"No, don't cry."
Shen Bai felt a little flustered and could only say:
"I forgive you."
"Waaah..." Song Yun was still "crying".
Shen Bai added, "I like you."
This time, Song Yun immediately asked:
"Really? But you can only like me."
Shen Bai, completely oblivious to the fact that the voice didn't sound like someone who had been crying, nodded and said:
"Okay, okay, I only like you."
He patted Song Yun on the back to comfort him, just as Song Yun usually comforted himself.
"Yes, I only like you. So, baby, can you promise me one thing?"
Shen Bai asked in confusion, "What is it?"
Song Yun spoke in a muffled voice:
"Promise me first, and I'll tell you later."
Should I agree? But what if it's something bad?
Shen Bai was torn, unsure whether he should agree or not. But if he didn't agree, wouldn't he be very sad?
Song Yun continued:
"Please promise me, baby, please."
Shen Bai couldn't resist his pleas and had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, but you can't lie to me, and you can't make me do bad things."
"Yes, it's not a bad thing, I promise."
At this moment, Song Yun's eyes were deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.
*
The night was dark and the wind was high.
Song Yun led Shen Bai to the corner of a villa. After he took out his phone and sent a message to Xiao Feng, the villa door opened.
Xiao Feng came out.
"Mr. Song, I've turned off all the surveillance equipment inside. I don't know where the Chen family members have gone. Only bodyguards and servants are left in the villa."
Song Yun thought of the footage captured by the hidden camera last time.
