It was one of those moments that melted everyone’s heart—when Monkey Lyly saw the cameraman return home after being away for several days. No one expected such a touching reaction from the little monkey, but the instant she spotted him at the gate, her emotions overflowed.
At first, Lyly froze, staring with wide, disbelieving eyes. She tilted her head, blinked a few times, and then suddenly leaped from her perch, running straight toward him. Her tiny arms stretched out, her face lit up with pure joy, and before he could even set down his bag, Lyly wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. She held him as if she never wanted to let go again.
Everyone watching was silent, overcome by the tenderness of the scene. Lyly pressed her cheek against his, making soft sounds that almost sounded like little sobs. Her tail wrapped around his arm, her small hands patting his back gently—just like a child reassuring herself that it was real, that he had truly come home.
The cameraman, touched beyond words, hugged her back and whispered softly, “I missed you too, Lyly.” She responded with another affectionate squeeze, then pulled back slightly to look into his eyes before hugging him again. It was as if she wanted to make sure he would never disappear again.
Lyly had always been playful and mischievous, but moments like this revealed just how deep her heart truly was. She remembered kindness. She recognized love. And she wasn’t afraid to show it.
Later, she refused to leave his side—following him everywhere, touching his face, and sitting on his shoulder like a little shadow. It was clear she felt safe again, finally complete.
This emotional reunion proved one thing beyond doubt: animals, especially monkeys like Lyly, feel love and attachment as deeply as we do. Her heartfelt hug said everything words never could—a beautiful reminder of the bond that goes beyond species, straight to the heart.
