Chapter 138: Meet the Parents

A black car coursed through the streets steadily in the suburbs.

It was already early spring. Buds were starting to grow on the willow as some unknown wildflowers bloomed exuberantly on both sides of the roads. A few white clouds floated in the clear blue skies. The sunlight made everything appear warm.

Mu Sheng was feeling a little lazy. The moment she caught sight of the scenery outside, she suddenly took interest. “The weather is perfect.”

In her past life, Mu Sheng was the top scientist working for the government. She spent all her time in the laboratory and never had a chance to go out and enjoy the nice spring weather. She leaned into this seat languidly as she took it all in.

Li Hanchen looked straight ahead. Despite the lovely scenery and perfect weather, he seemed to be in low spirits in contrast. Even though Mu Sheng tended to be less sensitive towards someone else’s feelings, she detected something amiss.

The car traveled up a winding mountain path for 30 minutes before it turned at the corner. The scenery around them took Mu Sheng’s breath away.

There were waterfalls, lush greenery, and pink cherry blossoms that grew everywhere over the mountain. For as far as the eye could see, it was pink. It felt as though she had traveled through time into a peach blossom paradise from ancient times.

Li Hanchen continued driving for a few hundred meters before a medium-sized tomb came into sight.

“We’re here.” Li Hanchen stepped on the brake and helped to undo Mu Sheng’s seat belt.

Mu Sheng got off the car and took a few steps before she saw the name “An Zhao” engraved on the tombstone with a photo hanging at the top. It was a picture of an elegant woman with a warm smile on her face. She had the aura of a peach blossom.

Mu Sheng was even more surprised by how much she resembled Li Hanchen.

“She’s my mother.” Li Hanchen’s voice came from beside her. He had unknowingly walked up beside Mu Sheng with incense in his hands. “Today is her 15th death anniversary.”

Mu Sheng did not know what to say. In the memory of the original owner of the body, Li Hanchen’s mother had died of illness. Back in the day, she used to be the number one debutante in town, but she ended up dying before her time.

Li Hanchen went up to the tomb and lit a stick of incense.

Mu Sheng glanced at the photo on the tomb. Wind swept in the air as a flower petal fluttered down and landed on the tombstone. She stepped forward and lit a stick of incense as well. “Let me pay respects to your mother too.”

Li Hanchen turned to look at Mu Sheng deeply before he nodded. “Okay.”

Mu Sheng stood beside Li Hanchen and bowed three times to the tombstone with him.

After they stopped bowing and stood up straight, Mu Sheng finally realized that there was an unmarked tombstone nearby.

Did the tomb belong to some other relative of Li Hanchen?

Li Hanchen detected Mu Sheng’s gaze. He looked at the unmarked grave profoundly before he said, “That’s for me.”

He had prepared this tomb a year ago.

Mu Sheng was automatically stunned before she felt it made sense.

Then again, if she did not get reborn, Li Hanchen probably wouldn’t survive for more than a year, considering his condition.

Mu Sheng could not imagine how Li Hanchen felt when he prepared his own tomb beside his mother’s grave.

She turned to look at him with a sparkle in her eyes from the sun as she spoke with utter confidence. “Don’t worry. Now that I am around, you won’t get to use the tomb in 100 years.”

Li Hanchen looked fixedly at Mu Sheng with his deep eyes. He gazed at her for such a long time that even Mu Sheng was starting to suspect she had said the wrong thing when Li Hanchen finally smiled and said, “Sure.”

A breeze came from behind and petals floated in the air as it swept past the tombstone. The woman in the picture quietly smiled and looked genial.
