Yan Ze gazed at her face for a long time. Then, as if seeking verification, he called out, “Duo Duo?”

Qin Yiling felt a little shy to be stared at by a man whom she found so attractive. Hearing him call her by her nickname, she smiled subconsciously as she responded.

“Yes, what’s the matter?”

Yan Ze felt his heart tighten. “Are you really Duo Duo?”

He had waited for fifteen years. God knew how many times he had imagined the scene of Duo Duo coming back. In his countless midnight dreams, he always thought that she had returned. But whenever he woke up, he would realize that it had just been a dream.

Now that they were really reunited, he was a little hesitant, afraid that everything was just a dream.

Qin Yiling could sense his anxiety and subtle emotions acutely, feeling a pang of heartache as she came to develop some understanding of him.

“If the first time you had met me was when I was around three years old, then you’re looking at the right person. My nickname is in fact Duo Duo, as my parents hope that I’ll have a lot of good fortune and a lot of happiness.”

Hearing this, Yan Ze was so excited that he wanted to sit up, but he accidentally touched the wound on his waist, causing him to choke on the words he was so eager to say.

It was his Duo Duo. It was really his Duo Duo!

His Duo Duo was back.

Especially since she had introduced her nickname in the exact same words back then.

It was her!

Indeed, she didn’t go back on her word. She had said before that she would come back to look for him and become his bride!

He had finally fulfilled his wish and hadn’t waited in vain for his little bride.

“Calm down, be careful of your wound!”

Upon seeing his agitated movements, she was so alarmed that she immediately went up to him and stopped his actions.

“Don’t you know that you’re still injured? Why are you in such a hurry? Be careful not to open your wound again, or I would have to apply medicine and bandage you up again.”

Yan Ze looked at the woman in front of him with stars in his eyes, and instantly felt his heart being filled to the brim, without even a single gap of emptiness.

“Duo Duo, you’re back. Do you know how long I’ve waited for you? Fifteen years! 5475 days!”

Qin Yiling was still in the middle of rebuking him when suddenly, she saw the piteous look on his face–he was staring at her unblinkingly with bright, intense eyes.

With a puff, the tiny flame of anger in her heart extinguished instantly.

“Yes, I’m back.”

Oh my, she couldn’t stand the sight of this handsome man looking so pitiful. Her heart was about to melt.

Especially since she found him extremely attractive, so she found it even more unbearable.

As a result, she didn’t dare to say another harsh word, her voice automatically becoming gentler and softer.

“Squeak squeak!”

The little monkey looked at Qin Yiling, then at Yan Ze, who had woken up. Its eyes were filled with curiosity, and it seemed to be in serious thought. “Why do these humans have such complex expressions?”

The delicate atmosphere was instantly shattered by Little Monkey’s sounds.

Qin Yiling grinned. “This is Little Monkey, my new friend. Thanks to him and Little White Tiger, I managed to find you.”

There was a flicker in Yan Ze’s eyes and he thanked the monkey, but his tone was void of the excitement and passion that were in his voice when he was talking to Qin Yiling.

Qin Yiling promptly asked with concern, “How do you feel now? Your biggest wound is on your waist, so you can’t move too vigorously, in case your wound splits open again.”

Yan Ze’s gaze softened and he said calmly, “Don’t worry, I feel very good now. I’ll be careful.”

He didn’t know why either, but it seemed that ever since he had suffered a major trauma at the age of eight, his ability to recover had become faster than that of ordinary people.
