An aunt would not care for Song Yujin the way Song Ci did. Song Yujin would not miss his aunt either if he did not see her every day. Basically, Song Ci was someone different.
From the very beginning, Song Ci had been kind to Song Yujin. She would dote on and protect him. Even when he ignored or treated her coldly, she never got angry. Song Ci had brightened up Song Yujin’s world immensely.
A figure slowly appeared in Song Yujin’s mind. It was his mother, Kong Chuyun. She was the only other person who treated him with love and compassion.
Song Ci was similar to Kong Chuyun. In fact, she indulged Song Yujin more than his mother. Moreover, Song Ci would always encourage him.
With that thought in mind, Song Yujin looked at Song Ci and said, “I don’t want to call you auntie.”
Song Ci felt like crying. She could not even be his aunt?
Before Song Ci could say anything, Song Yujin whispered, “Can I call you mom? You’re not my sister or my aunt. You act more like my mom. So, is that okay? You’ve mentioned before that you wanted to be my mom, right?”
Song Ci was shocked.
‘Am I dreaming?’
She picked up the little boy and kissed his face repeatedly.
“Of course! Yujin, mommy loves you very much!”
Song Ci hugged Song Yujin tightly. The latter had a hard time breathing.
‘Is she going crazy? She won’t stop hugging and kissing me!’
It took a while for Song Ci to regain her composure.
Song Ci and Song Yujin looked at each other. There were still some tear stains on Song Ci’s face. This was the first time Song Yujin had seen her cry. It made him feel uneasy. Song Ci’s eyelids were slightly red as well.
Song Yujin reached out to wipe away Song Ci’s leftover tears.
Song Ci felt a little embarrassed.
‘Did I really cry in front of a child?’
She hugged Song Yujin and said, “I should help you with your bath now.”
Song Yujin kept quiet. Song Ci had finally stopped crying. He did not want to say anything and accidentally trigger her again. Hence, he just reached out his hands and hugged Song Ci.
Song Ci thought to herself, ‘A mother and sister are treated differently. I can’t believe he took the initiative to hug me.’
Anyway, Song Ci smiled and carried Song Yujin.
“Let’s go.”
Song Yujin remained silent.
‘I’m not even this childish when I was three years old…’
Song Ci happily bathed Song Yujin.
Song Yujin looked at Song Ci with a serious expression and asked, “What was your real name?”
“Coincidentally, my name is also Song Ci.”
Song Yujin asked again, “What did you look like before?”
