Chapter 9
I hurriedly threw back the covers, got out of bed, and walked out of the bedroom.
Su Yu followed close behind me.
I certainly hadn’t mistreated myself in this dream; I was living in a high-end, luxury flat. However, because the place was so spacious, it actually made it harder to pinpoint the source of the crying.
Su Yu and I searched several rooms like headless chickens until he stopped at a door. He opened it and looked at me in utter disbelief. “Huanhuan, look at this…”
Stepping inside, I was met with walls painted entirely in baby blue. The room was filled with various toys, and a crib sat against the wall.
The crying was coming from there.
Su Yu and I exchanged a look, then crept toward the crib with hushed footsteps.
Even though we had braced ourselves, both Su Yu and I gasped the moment we looked down at the baby inside.
The little infant was fair-skinned and chubby, with dark, moist eyes like two black grapes. He was kicking his tiny arms and legs, wailing at the top of his lungs.
When he saw us, his sobs turned into rhythmic hiccups. He reached his little hands out toward me and let out a muffled, indistinct cry: “Mama.”
In an instant, my heart felt as if it were being squeezed into a ball, tossed high into the air, and then gently dropped into a pile of soft cotton.
Oh my god.
He actually called me Mama!
