Muchen knew Yun Lui was lost in his thoughts all the way home. He did not want to distract him. He only watched out the way for him so that he does not hit any obstacles and hurt himself.
It was normal for Yun Lui to be thinking about those men they had met earlier. It would have been weird if he didn't.
They were the first people that seemed to be to be acquaintanced to Yun Lui before he had met him and his family. Maybe he'll be able to be reunited with his family too through them.
They saw mama Chi by the gate of their house, obviously waiting for.
"Mother.", Yun Lui run to hug the woman whom he calls his mother. Mama Chi did not mind though.
In these last past four years that she had met Yun Lui, she has really grown fond of the may and sees him as her own child. She thinks of him as her third son that the universe had given her.
Yun Lui hugged her tightly just standing there and not saying anything. Mama Chi had to readjust herself in order for the both of them not to fall.
She looked at her second son, Muchen with raised eyebrows, which he in turn understood as his mother inquiring of him if anything bad had happened at the market.
He signaled her back that he would tell her later. Mama Chi asked Yun Lui that they get into the house and that it was very dangerous for them to be outside.
All three of them went inside. Mama Chi left for the kitchen after successfully making Yun Lui to take a seat at the dining table.
She brought in their food and served them. She left to check on the twins that she had put to bed.
The cloth that she had used to cover them had slipped off. She pulled it back on them and tucked them in properly before going back to the dining room.
Yun Lui seemed to have lost his appetite. He would was staring at the room ceiling with his hands holding the chopsticks that he was eating with but one of them slipped and fell down. It was then that his attention came back to the food.
Mama Chi notice all these. She sighed. She couldn't imagine the thoughts that were running through Yun Lui's mind but she knew they would all be concerns about whatever had happened at the market today.
She has yet to know what had happened but that can wait. Yun Lui needs to eat something as he works hard. His health matters to her than whatever problem had happened at the market today.
"Lulu, you should eat more food and stop taking only small bites. Your body will feel too weak and affect your health which should be paramount to you.", she admonished him.
Yun Lui listened and took a big bite of the food to eat but ended up drifting back to whatever he was thinking. Seeing this got Mama Chi worried, so she tried and fed Yun Lui some more food.
Yun Lui tried to wriggle out of eating any more of the food being fed to him by his adoptive mother. More like being force down into his throat. Gosh, he hates it when his adoptive mother was like this. He was not an invalid!
Muchen watched the two in amusement. He never wants to ever get involved in their business at all. Both Yun Lui and his mother are stubborn. None of them will back off for the other to win.
He knew the two will be at it until one of them emerged as the winner. When Yun Lui first joined their family, he tried to be the arbitrator between the two whenever they had an issue.
The two would not even look in his direction let alone to listen to him. It was as if he didn't even exist during such moments. So as time went on, he has learnt his lesson to let them be, while they were at it again.
He's even come to enjoy watching them on the sideline while trying to guess which one of the two will win the battle. Today was no exception. In fact from the way things are going so far, he has concluded that Mama Chi will win this one today.
Mama Chi continued to feed the frowning Yun Lui until she was satisfied that Yun Lui has enough food in his tummy before she allowed him to leave the dining table.
After the dinner, they all went into the living room and sat on the floor mats that served as seats.
"Now Muchen tell me, what happened at the market today?", Mama Chi went straight to the point.
Muchen went ahead and narrated their encounter with the two men that they had met at the market today.
"Okay. Then let's wait and see how your meeting goes tomorrow. Maybe Yun Lui may find his family with their help.", Mama Chi said.
Muchen nodded in acknowledgement but Yun Lui only sat there quietly.
"Yun Lui what is wrong? Is there something that is worrying you?" Mama Chi asked with concern.
Yun Lui turned to look in her direction and shook his head as a way of telling her that nothing was wrong with him.
Mama Chi drew closer and held his hands as she said, "LuLu, I believe this is good news. At least this way you will know your roots.
Assuming your parents are to be alive, I am sure they will be very happy to know that you're alive.
And maybe through them you may recover your memories and the twins may be united with their father. For all we know he might have been searching for you.
So I think you should meet with those two men tomorrow and let's see whatever information we can get from them. Then we will know what to do next. Okay?", mama Chi said.
Yun Lui knew that she was waiting his answer with her gaze totally fixed on him. Sighed, "Okay mommy. If you think so. I'll meet with them together with brother tomorrow in the then."
And with that, mama Chi hugged him and they all retired for bed for the night.
