Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Similar People

Looking at the unfamiliar scene, Shen Zhiyu swallowed his saliva, feeling somewhat flustered.

He saw his mother being taken to this place. Where would his mother be?

The early runners on the playground saw a dirty little boy standing on the track and couldn’t help but stop in their tracks.

A female student, feeling sorry for the panic-stricken little fellow, approached and asked: "Little guy, what are you doing here?"

On seeing the elder sister dressed in a sports jacket and shorts approaching, the little boy blushed and covered his small eyes with his hands.

"I came to find my mother."

Hearing the boy’s words, everyone was taken aback.

Find his mother?

This little boy is here to find his mother?

Could it be that this child is the son of a teacher or staff member at the school?

"Little guy, what’s your mother’s name? Does she teach at this school?"

The female student asked in a softened voice.

Zhiyu, not fully understanding, was able to pick out the word ’name’ and raising his head, said, "My name is Shen Zhiyu, my mother’s name is Lin Nanzhi, and my father’s name is Shen Wenchen."

Two guys standing on the perimeter of the crowd, upon hearing the boy’s words, were stunned and rushed to make a phone call to their roommate as if they had discovered something huge.

"Wenchen, guess who we bumped into on the playground?"

Shen Wenchen was sitting in his dorm playing games, and hearing his friend’s mysterious tone, he couldn’t help but smirk.

"Your ex-girlfriend?"

"No, no, we met a little boy. He said his dad’s name was Shen Wenchen!"

The other friend grabbed the phone and chuckled: "When did you have a son behind our backs? How come we don’t know anything about it?"

Shen Wenchen paused in his actions, was cornered and got killed by three opponents.

"North Playground?"

"Yes, yes, are you coming over?"

"Mm."

Shen Wenchen didn’t say much more, just handed his computer over to the roommate on the next bed.

"Play for me for a while."

The fourth one was catching up on an anime series, was caught off guard by him: "You’re going out? Didn’t you say you’re staying in the dorm all day Saturday?"

"I’ll bring you food."

"Okay, off you go. Don’t worry, I got this." The fourth one thumped his chest, not forgetting to remind him: "I want the tomato and beef rice from the second floor of the dining hall and a soda."

Shen Wenchen just waved his hand, put on his shoes, and left the dormitory.

The male dorm is very close to the North Playground. When Shen Wenchen went over, he saw a crowd crowded in one corner of the playground.

Using his height advantage, he saw a dirty little boy in the crowd. The little boy was so thin he barely looked the part, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

Having been surrounded by people for a while, Shen Zhiyu felt anxious. He looked around and immediately brightened when he saw Shen Wenchen in the crowd.

Mom said dad went to fight the goblins. Did dad come here to fight goblins?

"Daddy!"

The little boy crisply shouted "Daddy", causing everyone to turn their heads in the direction he was looking.

The two elder brothers were taken aback when the little boy looked at their brother and shouted "Daddy".

They thought they had just encountered someone with the same name and surname, which was why they called to tell their third brother. Turns out, this is actually their third brother’s son?

The crowd made way and Shen Zhiyu, seeing a familiar face, naturally couldn’t contain his excitement and ran towards Shen Wenchen.

"Daddy! Zhiyu can’t find mommy!"

Shen Wenchen instinctively picked up the little boy who had rushed over and froze at his words.

She can’t find her mom?

Does that mean there’s really something wrong with Nannan?

Ignoring the curious gazes of those around him, Shen Wenchen quickly returned to the dormitory with Shen Zhiyu in his arms.

The scene drew sidelong glances from many passersby.

"Dad, Zhiyu can’t find mom. Brother River Clam said he would find mom and take her home."

The little guy started to sob again in his dad’s arms.

He had just asked those strange brothers and sisters if they had seen his mother, but they all shook their heads, saying they didn’t know.

"Zhiyu, be good. What happened to your mom?"

Shen Wenchen asked in a low voice, never slowing his pace.

"Mom got sick from the rain; her face was so pale,.. so pale.. She’s been sleeping all the time. I called her but she didn’t respond to Zhiyu." The little guy’s words prompted memories of Nanzhi lying in the car, and he started crying again.

"Brother River Clam said that if I can’t find mom before the sun sets, mom will die."

Although Shen Wenchen didn’t know who his son was referring to as Brother River Clam, he felt his heart skip a beat or two.

He had no idea why he was in this strange place.

His recollection of coming to this place was blurry; he remembered hurrying on his way, and then everything went black before he found himself here.

From a baby to a junior in university, if he hadn’t met Zhiyu today, he might have thought everything in the past was just a dream.

But now that Zhiyu was here, it proved that he had never been dreaming, and perhaps the twenty-one years in this world were just a dream after all.

"Did Brother River Clam tell you where your mom is?" Shen Wenchen asked as he unlocked his dorm room.

"No, he didn’t, but I saw Mom brought to a place like this." The little guy shook his head, but his eyes lit up when he saw the inside of Shen Wenchen’s dormitory.

He had seen his mom brought to a similar place, with high beds that required a ladder to climb up and go to sleep.

How strange.

The roommate who had just finished gaming heard the door open and was about to get his meal, but instead of his desired dish of tomato and beef with a soda, he saw Shen Wenchen holding a dirty little child in his hands.

"Third bro, what is this?" Where did he pick up a child?

"My son, your nephew."

Shen Wenchen’s face was calm as he reminded Zhiyu to greet the man: "Zhiyu, this is your fourth uncle. Say hello."

Although he didn’t know the man, Zhiyu obediently greeted him since his own dad had said so: "Hello, Uncle Fourth."

"Wh... where did you get such a big son?"

Roommate number four was so shocked his jaw dropped; he stammered out his question.

"Born to your sister-in-law." Shen Wenchen spoke as he placed Zhiyu on a stool, not forgetting to open a sausage for him.

"Help me find your sister-in-law."

Roommate number four’s words got stuck in his throat and it took him a while to blurt out, "You had such a big son without even finding a wife?"

"Ever heard of running away with a ball?"

Roommate number four was lost for words.

Finally, he could only ask, "How should we find her?"

"She’s a student at our university, presumably a freshman. Her name is Lin Nanzhi."

Since Zhiyu said they went to a strange place like this, it should be the female dormitory. Plus, Nannan is two years younger than him, so it should be her freshman year now.

Roommate number four shrugged, but he began to search, then pointed to the photo on the computer, asking, "This one?"

Before Shen Wenchen had a chance to look, Zhiyu was already nodding and saying, "Mom, mom, it’s mom!"

Only then did Shen Wenchen look over.

He frowned slightly.

Although the girl in the picture looked a fair bit like Nannan, her demeanor was very different. She had pulled her hair up in a ponytail, and her naturally pretty face brightened up as she smiled. But remembering his wife’s face, Wenchen realized she had never truly smiled like that before...
