Chapter 144 Parallel Space (7)
Xu Wen was stunned. She didn't expect her mother to give such an answer.
As far as she could remember, her mother had never mentioned any of her romantic experiences when she was young, let alone her love for someone who had passed away many years ago.
Her eyes were full of shock and curiosity. She sat quietly beside her mother, listening to her mother slowly telling the story of the dusty past.
Xu Wen's mother's eyes became blurred, as if she had traveled through the tunnel of time and returned to her youth.
Her voice was gentle as she spoke of the boy who had once been unbridled and flamboyant.
"Shen Shen has a sunny smile and his eyes are always shining with wisdom. He is smart, confident, and full of enthusiasm in everything he does. He is the kind of person who can be recognized in a crowd at a glance and can always easily attract everyone's attention."
Xu Wen's mother's words were full of nostalgia, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up in a gentle arc, as if she was recalling the happy times that the boy brought her.
"He is always so dazzling. He can do his best both in academics and in other activities. He is always surrounded by many friends and everyone likes him, including me." Xu Wen's mother lowered her voice and a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes.
As Xu Wen listened to her mother's narration, a vivid image seemed to appear before her eyes - the young boy who was so unrestrained on the stage of youth.
His smile, his confidence, his charm, everything was so attractive. She couldn't help but imagine how great it would be if that boy was still alive.
"Unfortunately, he died fifteen years ago." Xu Wen's mother's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes revealed deep sadness.
"It was an unacceptable tragedy. Since then, Lin Shen's smile and his flamboyance have all become a thing of the past. He has become a person that many people in Beijing cannot even mention."
An inexplicable sadness welled up in Xu Wen's heart; she could feel the pain in her mother's words.
"I guess I will never see him again in this lifetime." Xu Wen's mother sighed softly, her eyes refocused on her daughter, trying to pull herself away from the sadness.
Xu Wen held his mother's hand, trying to give her some comfort.
The boy whom she had only seen in photos was once a beautiful memory in her mother's heart.
Her heart was filled with complicated emotions. She couldn't believe what it would be like if she met a boy like that when she was her mother's age, because she fell in love with him as soon as she saw his photo. It was so ridiculous!

Luo Wenzhou came to school as usual the next day, but Lin Shen was still thinking about Wu Kairui.
He was thinking about how to convince Luo Wenzhou to go find his brother in this body and explain everything to him.
Lin Shen believed that his brother must have deep feelings for the owner of this body. Once he knew the truth, he would definitely stand on their side and deal with the evil Wu Kairui together.
After all, this body belongs to one of the four major families, and power can often be the most powerful weapon in this world.
However, before Lin Shen found a suitable opportunity to talk to Luo Wenzhou about this plan, things took an unexpected turn.
Just after school, Luo Wenzhou and Lin Shen packed their bags and prepared to leave school as usual. As soon as they walked out of the school gate, they saw a conspicuous Maybach parked on the side of the road.
Lin Shen recognized at a glance that it was a national limited edition car. Standing next to the car was a middle-aged man, whose dress and temperament revealed the aura of a successful person.
Luo Wenzhou originally planned to leave directly, but the middle-aged man took the initiative to walk up to him and said in a very respectful manner: "Student Luo, our boss wants to see you for something."
His attitude was so respectful that even though Luo Wenzhou was dressed simply, he did not show any contempt.
Luo Wenzhou nodded silently and got into the back seat of the car. Lin Shen followed closely behind him.
The middle-aged man got in the car, started the engine, and the vehicle drove smoothly away from the school.
Not long after, they arrived at a villa located in a wealthy area.
This is not a place where money alone can reach, but also requires corresponding power.
Luo Wenzhou did not look around, but just glanced at Lin Shen secretly. He did not know who was looking for him, so he could only act according to circumstances.
They walked through a beautiful garden with a swing and finally arrived at the villa's living room.
The living room was filled with valuable paintings. Sitting on the sofa was a handsome man. His features were somewhat similar to Lin Shen's. He looked mature and steady, probably in his thirties, and exuded the charm of a successful man.
Luo Wenzhou and Lin Shen guessed almost at the same time that this man was the brother of this body.
When the man saw Luo Wenzhou, he smiled and pointed at the sofa, motioning him to take a seat.
Luo Wenzhou didn't hesitate and sat directly opposite the man.
Lin Shen was curious and walked around the man several times. He found that his brother had eyes very similar to his. Then he floated back and forth in the living room several times.
Someone came forward to make tea for Luo Wenzhou, and then everyone in the living room quickly left, leaving only the two of them.
Luo Wenzhou remained silent, with no expression on his face.
But the man saw that he was following something with his peripheral vision, and there was someone else in his house.
He guessed who it was right away.
The man said, "I'm Lin Mochen, Lin Shen's brother." His voice echoed in the living room, carrying a deep sense of oppression.
Luo Wenzhou paused, looked at the man in front of him, and said nothing.
Lin Mochen has always been patient, but he doesn't have much patience when it comes to his brother's affairs.
Yesterday Wei Tianxing told him that Shen Shen had returned, and he had no doubts about it. Today, his words were further confirmed.
After Shen Shen died that year, he once wanted to die, but the mysterious man told him that he would come back one day. He lived for many years with this little hope, and when he was about to give up, his Shen Shen finally came back.
But he didn't know what to say for a moment, he felt the deep atmosphere of his home.
"Student Luo, I heard that you were asking about my brother." The man spoke in a casual tone, as if he didn't care.
Luo Wenzhou listened to his tone and was unsure for a moment whether this man really cared about his brother?
But now that the situation has come to this, he can only make it clear. Before he could open his mouth, the man spoke first.
"Shen Shen is here, right?" the man's voice was long and drawn out.
Luo Wenzhou paused, and Lin Shen stopped wandering, looking at the man carefully.
Luo Wenzhou glanced at Lin Shen, who nodded.
"Mr. Lin, I was asked by Lin Shen to find out his identity. He doesn't remember who he is."
The man who had been so calm all along panicked and spilled some water from the cup in his hand without the man noticing.
