All the evidence indicates that this person is Jin Xuyao, their long-lost son they’ve been searching for years, but why does she always feel like sothing is missing?
Could it be because she hasn’t seen him for so long, or perhaps her excellent son has grown into a beggar, leaving her so disappointed?
Gu Youyou’s eyebrow twitched; she couldn’t tell whether she was upset or delighted, only that there was a heavy stone in her heart, blocking her badly.
She is a doctor, aware that such emotions are very unhealthy for her and could easily lead to a myocardial infarction.
She is no longer young, and has been anxious for many years, truly fearing that before finding her son, she might collapse first.
"Let’s go inside and talk!" Jin Zijin pursed his lips, concealing himself.
He supported Gu Youyou as they entered the valley.
Faced with the person very likely to be their son, they both found themselves at a loss.
This left Jian Shiqing and Zhu Yiping, who had followed them, feeling extrely awkward.
Jian Shiqing maintained the attitude of enjoying a show, while Zhu Yiping pulled Jin Luoyin aside and softly asked, "Could it be a mistake?"
Jin Luoyin shook her head and said, "I don’t know either. It does look like brother, but..." She couldn’t articulate that feeling in her heart. After a mont, she said, "Honestly, upon seeing him, I’m not as happy as I thought I’d be. I’m sowhat... sowhat disappointed, perhaps the parents feel the sa way."
Zhu Yiping understood and nodded gently, saying, "That’s understandable. When the Young Prince went missing, the Prince and Princess had very deep feelings for him, which remained since he was little. There’s an old saying about hoping your son becos a dragon — the Young Prince’s situation made him grow in a way that could not satisfy the Prince and Princess, and after years apart, naturally, sothing feels lacking, making it hard to accept!"
Jin Luoyin felt this made so sense and sighed, "Hopefully, with more ti spent together, those lost familial bonds will return. Regardless, the person has been found."
Jin Zijin had them all escorted down to rest; inside the room, looking at the distraught Gu Youyou, he sighed helplessly, "I know you think he might not be Xuyao, and I also feel the sa way."
Gu Youyou’s inexplicable emotions found no outlet, but hearing Jin Zijin speak like that, she abruptly lifted her head and said, "You also feel sothing’s off?"
Jin Zijin nodded gently.
Gu Youyou exclaid excitedly, "But his experiences, and the Jade Pendant..." She suddenly recalled the story of the Plum Blossom Brand and smiled bitterly, "I should have left a mark on him to facilitate future recognition."
"Who would have known the child would go missing then?"
Both sighed helplessly.
Clearly, they had found soone highly likely to be their son, yet both felt it wasn’t him.
"Why do you think he’s not?" Gu Youyou asked.
"What about you?" Jin Zijin asked her.
Gu Youyou thought for a mont and said, "I don’t know either, perhaps intuition. That year, I was taken by Yu Jizi, and when I returned, Xuyao was already that old. He looked different from his infant tis, but upon seeing Xuyao, it was like seeing a strange little child, completely different from my impression. Yet, I instantly recognized him and couldn’t help but want to get closer, but this person... I don’t have that feeling inside, just intuition, intuition tells it might be wrong."
Jin Zijin lowered his head and said, "But Luoyin has already investigated. This person truly has wandered Beiyi for years, without a na, and a middle-aged man used to call him Little Beast early on. He wasn’t lying."
