My heartbeat suddenly quickened, uncontrollable like a wild horse.

It seemed as if it would burst out of my chest in the next second...

A strange emotion suddenly surged in Sheng Zhiyi's heart.

His brows knitted together unconsciously...

This sudden feeling of palpitations...

He pondered for a long time but could not find the answer.

He raised his lips and was about to say something to his partner...

The young man who had just gone to the lobby to ask the waiter for tea came striding towards them.

But in just a moment, he had already sat down on the square stool next to Sheng Zhiyi.

Sheng Zhiyi swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He tilted his head slightly and his eyes fell on the young man next to him.

At this moment,

The tension and uneasiness that the young man had previously shown had disappeared.

Instead... there were faces full of anticipation and excitement that was hard to conceal.

The excitement was clearly revealed in his eyes and expression.

The air around seemed to be infected and a bit restless.

Mu Yunxi naturally noticed the difference in the young man.

She pursed her lips, glanced at him thoughtfully, thought for a moment, and then spoke slowly and calmly.

: "I wonder what your relationship is to the girl in the photo?"

Mu Yunxi's voice was soft and gentle, yet it carried a firmness and curiosity that could not be ignored.

After saying this, she looked quietly at the young man opposite her, waiting for his answer.

The young man met her gaze, his expectant eyes mixed with a hint of complexity.

He looked at the little face opposite him that was very similar to his aunt, thought for a few seconds, and began to tell the story.

"The person in the photo is my aunt."

: "This photo... was taken when she was young."

The young man's voice was a little low, and there seemed to be a hint of sadness in his tone.

He paused slightly here...

After looking at Mu Yunxi quietly, he continued speaking.

"My aunt, when she was sixteen, was trying to save a child who fell into the water... but unfortunately she was swept away by the current."

His kind-hearted aunt...

Because on the way home...he saw a child who fell into the water, so he jumped into the river to rescue him, regardless of his own safety.

But I never thought...

She successfully lifted the child ashore...

But she herself...

But because of exhaustion, he was directly washed away by the rushing river...

By the time his grandparents heard the news and rushed over... it was already too late...

Her little aunt...had completely disappeared in the vast river.

His father, grandparents searched along the river for a long time, but there was no news.

To this day... his life or death is still unknown...

Although he had never met his aunt who was related to him by blood since he was born.

But when he and his brother were young, they often heard stories about her from their grandparents and father.

Those little bits and pieces about my aunt from childhood to adulthood...

Like a clear spring...

It flowed continuously into the years when he and his brother were growing up.

So even though he and his brother had never met their aunt.

But the affection I have for her deep in my heart is still full and strong.

There was no feeling of emptiness at all.

Seeing that the young man opposite had a slightly heavy expression, he seemed to be lost in his own memories.

Mu Yunxi lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment.

Slowly asked,

: "So how old is your aunt this year?"

As she spoke, she raised her eyes and looked quietly into the eyes of the young man opposite her.

She could see that the young man opposite her had not lied.

But she couldn't figure it out...

If the person in the photo is really Mu's mother...

According to the young man, Mother Mu was washed away by the river because she was saving someone.

But why didn’t Mother Mu go to look for her family after escaping danger?

What is the hidden story behind this...?

Or did she recognize the wrong person...?

Maybe the person in this photo is not Mu's mother at all?

Just a person who looks very similar to Mu's mother?

Mu Yunxi was puzzled.
