With a soft thud, the book with no name on the cover fell to the ground.

Lin Shen turned his head and stared blankly at Lin Yuan.

His brother was actually at home!

Shouldn't he be at the company right now?

Lin Yuan was wearing a dark gray V-neck sweater and black casual pants.

His feet were bare, and he was wearing slippers.

The villa had central air conditioning all year round, and the temperature was constant. It was neither hot nor cold.

Looking at his younger brother's dumbfounded expression, Lin Yuan smiled slightly.

He crossed his arms in front of his chest and leaned against the door of his bedroom.

"What's wrong, Shen Shen?" Lin Yuan asked gently, "Are you not feeling well?"

He repeated his question.

"No, no …" Lin Shen swallowed with some difficulty.

He could hear his own voice, as if it was coming from a very far place.

It was dry and hoarse.

It seemed so unreal.

Lin Shen stuttered as he answered Lin Yuan's question.

He nodded nervously and looked at the "book" on the ground, then turned to look at Lin Yuan.

He ran home to do bad things because he was suspicious.

He was even caught red-handed by the other party.

No matter how he thought about it, it was embarrassing.

He stood there helplessly, his body stiff.

Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows.

He put down the arms in front of his chest and stepped forward calmly.

Then, he bent down and picked up the book that fell on the ground.

The floor of the bedroom was very clean, but he still patted the cover lightly.

Lin Shen pulled out the bookmark that had been stuck inside and carefully placed it on the bedside table.

Lin Yuan glanced at it and took it and put it in the book.

He did the whole thing so naturally that even the gentle smile on his face didn't decrease in the slightest.

Lin Shen stood at the side and watched, but his body became stiffer and stiffer.

"… Bro, bro, bro." He called out softly with a trembling voice.

"Mm." Lin Yuan answered casually.

He turned to look at Lin Shen, raised his hand, and rubbed his hair.

"If you're not feeling well, then rest well." Lin Yuan smiled. "Do you want to drink juice?

I still want to have some porridge. "

He smiled and looked at Lin Shen. "I'll do it."

Lin Shen shook his head.

Before Pandora's Box was opened, it would make people curious and afraid.

But once it was opened, it seemed that there was only one path left.

Lin Shen Shenshen took a deep breath.

His body regained its senses, and his limbs were no longer as cold.

He looked at his gentle, considerate, and talented elder brother, and his gaze slowly turned to the book in his brother's hand.

Lin Yuan came too quickly. He didn't even have time to finish reading the first paragraph.

— — But there was no need to finish reading it.

"Big Brother." Lin Shen called out to Lin Yuan again.

It was as though this form of address gave him the courage to continue speaking, "This book … no!"

He pursed his lips. "Does this diary belong to him?"

The room instantly became incomparably quiet.

No one said anything.

Lin Shen looked at his brother quietly.

His brother held the diary in his hand and remained silent.

He didn't know how much time had passed.

Or perhaps, it was only a short while.

Lin Shen could hear his own heart beating faster and faster, and he could also hear his own breathing becoming more and more rapid.

His hands were clenched tightly by his sides, and his palms were already soaked with sweat.

Just when he thought that his brother wouldn't answer this question.

But Lin Yuan suddenly opened his mouth.

Lin Yuan asked, "You've seen it all?"

Lin Shen hurriedly shook his head, "I've only seen the first paragraph."

He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Last time … it was the night Mo Juechen came. I came to your room to look for pajamas for him, and I accidentally saw the contents of one of the pages in this book."

He paused and looked away, not daring to meet Lin Yuan's eyes, "At that time, I knocked this diary to the ground. When I picked it up, I saw the contents inside.

It was just a quick glance, but I … I saw a lot of words. "

"I … I also saw Mo Juechen's name."

Lin Shen mustered up his courage and said in one breath, "I saw Su Tiantian's doujinshi book in your office that day.

Although it looked similar on the surface, there were very few words on it. It was almost all manga. "

"Did you begin to suspect it at that time?" Lin Yuan asked faintly.

His voice was still calm, and he didn't seem to blame Lin Shen in the slightest.

But compared to his earlier gentleness, he still seemed much calmer.

Lin Shen couldn't help but turn his head and glance quickly at Lin Yuan.

He shook his head and said, "At that time, I didn't suspect anything."

He took a deep breath and added, "Until I saw the post on the school forum yesterday …"

"That …" Lin Yuan's lips curved, "The post that said you had a crush on me?"

Lin Shen: "…"

He knew that his brother must have seen it!

"I didn't!

I didn't! "He hurriedly explained.

As soon as he said it, he felt that it was a little unnecessary.

He didn't need to explain at all.

Because the person in the photo wasn't him at all!

Lin Yuan …

He must have known.

In fact, even at the beginning, Lin Shen did think that Lin Yuan was Yan Shuo.

They were both so gentle, men who gave him so much warmth.

But Lin Shen himself didn't know what kind of feelings he had for Yan Shuo.

When he first came here, he was still thinking about going back.

He had one goal, and that was to figure out his feelings for Yan Shuo.

But after that, he lived every day here to the fullest.

He was busy studying.

He was busy dealing with the gossip flying around the school.

He was busy with Mo Juechen …

When Lin Shen thought of this, he was suddenly shocked.

He quickly recalled everything that had happened during this period of time and realized that the person who occupied most of his time was actually Mo Juechen!

They did questions together!

They worked hard to win a bet against Lu Miaomiao and Ouyang Yingyi!

After the exam results were out, they celebrated happily together.

In order to protect the other party, they would also do some seemingly stupid things.

Then!

He slowly …

He didn't have any extra time or energy to think about Yan Shuo.

！！！

Lin Shen never knew that he was such a heartless person.

Yan Shuo was the brother next door who warmed his heart for his entire youth.

He actually slowly forgot about him because of Mo Juechen.

He …

"I know you didn't." Lin Yuan stared at him for a moment and suddenly laughed softly.

The coldness that had suddenly appeared on his face had already disappeared.

Lin Yuan raised his hand and ruffled Lin Shen's hair.

His fingers were long and his palm was warm.

He treated Lin Shen like an older brother would treat his younger brother.

Even his gaze was clean and clear, without a trace of ambiguity.

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Yuan said with a smile.

After he finished speaking, he sighed softly.

"Shen Shen." He called Lin Shen's nickname. "Let's forget about this, okay?"

"Huh?" Lin Shen didn't quite understand.

"Your brother will deal with the matter on the school forum. Your little boyfriend must have a way to shut up his classmates."

Lin Yuan paused. "If he can't do it, I will try my best to minimize the impact of this matter."

He ruffled Lin Shen's hair again. "Let's forget about this matter, okay?"

"But …" Lin Shen opened his mouth with difficulty.

But this kind of matter wasn't something he could forget just because he said so.

But he really couldn't refuse such a gentle request from Lin Yuan.

It even had a hint of sadness in it.

"But …" Lin Shen opened his mouth again.

He didn't dare to look into Lin Yuan's eyes. He could only look at the diary in his hand.

That was … a diary, right?

When he asked just now, the other party didn't deny it.

The first paragraph Lin Shen read was in the standard diary format.

"Year 20XX, Yin.

On the third day here, I've gradually adapted to my new life and environment.

He was right. I'm a strong and fickle person. Smile.

It's just that I still dream of him, but it doesn't matter.

There's nothing that time can't solve.

If three days isn't enough, then a week, a month, a year …

If we don't meet again, it will eventually fade away. "

"Brother, brother …" Lin Shen had a good memory.

Although he only read it once, the contents of the first diary weren't obscure. He could more or less remember the contents.

"Is this written by him?" He asked in a small voice.

This time, Lin Yuan was silent for a long time.

The bedroom was quiet for a while.

The atmosphere was so awkward that Lin Shen's body was stiff to the point of pain.

However, in the end, Lin Yuan nodded gently.

"It's him."

He sighed softly and added, "It's his diary."

They didn't mention that person's name, but they both knew who the "he" in each other's mouths was.

"So …" Lin Shen asked softly, "What's going on here?"

"Why am I here?"

"Where is the 'here' mentioned in his diary?"

"Why did he say that we can't meet again?"

Lin Shen murmured.

He actually had many, many questions to ask, but when he saw the pain in Lin Yuan's eyes, it became more and more obvious.

Lin Shen opened his mouth and finally asked, "Is he the one in the video who said that if you could always be happy, he would forgive you … 'Lin Shen'?"

Lin Shen found it hard to imagine.

One day, the words "Lin Shen" would come out of his mouth in such an atmosphere.

As soon as he asked this question, Lin Yuan suddenly turned to look at him.

His eyes flashed with a trace of surprise.

Although he quickly covered it up, Lin Shen still keenly captured the shock that flashed across his face.

He thought for a moment and took out his cell phone.

Mo Juechen had already sent the video to him.

Lin Shen closed his eyes, opened the video, and pressed the play button.

After a long period of silence, Lin Yuan's voice sounded from the video, "I'm sorry …"

Then, the young man's cold voice sounded, "… If you can always be happy … I'll forgive you."

The background was actually very noisy, but the two people's voices could still be heard clearly.

Lin Yuan couldn't hide the shock on his face in time.

He suddenly reached out and took the cell phone from Lin Shen's hand.

"What … what did he say?!" He muttered, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"He said …" Lin Yuan's voice was somewhat choked.

He reached out with trembling hands and hovered over Lin Shen's cell phone screen.

The video had already played to the end, and he could see himself in a sorry state as he leaned against the young man's shoulder.

He saw the other person's hand gently placed on his shoulder.

But the angle of the video made it impossible for Lin Yuan to see the other person's expression.

He could only see the young man slightly tilting his head, as if looking at the night sky.

"Brother?" Lin Shen called out to Lin Yuan worriedly.

So he didn't know?

Ah, yes!

He remembered that at the beginning of the video, Lin Yuan was being helped out of the bar.

He was staggering a little, probably drunk.

So even Lin Yuan didn't know what happened after that?

"He said …" Lin Yuan's hand was still trembling.

His fingers were trembling so badly.

Even his whole body seemed to be trembling.

Lin Shen had never seen Lin Yuan like this.

His brother had always been so calm and collected.

He was a genius, a tech upstart!

He was a powerhouse who relied on himself to gain a foothold in City S.

He was also an outstanding senior who graduated from Singshang College many years ago, and was still talked about by his juniors.

He was the good son of the family.

He was the reliable big brother to his two younger brothers.

He was the generous brother who would constantly transfer money to Lin Shen's WeChat.

Lin Shen didn't expect that he would see Lin Yuan in such a sorry state.

"Brother …" He gritted his teeth, reached out for the phone, pulled back the video progress bar, and then played it.

"If you continue to be happy … I'll forgive you." The young man's clean and unique voice sounded in the bedroom again.

Lin Yuan's arm slowly dropped.

His hand clenched, then relaxed.

Clenched, then relaxed.

"Sorry." After a while, he finally calmed down.

"Can you send the video to me?" Lin Yuan asked.

When he spoke, his eyes looked into Lin Shen's eyes.

"Okay." Lin Shen nodded, and immediately forwarded the video to Lin Yuan.

Vaguely, he felt that he could more or less guess the whole thing.

During the process of sending the video, neither of them spoke.

Lin Shen was silent.

Lin Yuan was also silent.

"Brother …" Seeing the last bit of the progress bar, Lin Shen raised his head. "Can I still call you brother?"

"… Of course." Lin Yuan's gaze was somewhat reluctant to move away from his phone.

He looked at Lin Shen. "You are my younger brother."

"Then what about him?" Lin Shen asked.

This question had to be asked in the end.

Perhaps other people wouldn't recognize him, but Lin Yuan's behavior couldn't be any clearer.

He knew that he wasn't the original owner.

It should be said that he knew from the beginning.

Lin Yuan laughed bitterly. "He's not."

He continued to lower his head and fiddle with his phone.

As if worried that it would be lost, Lin Yuan saved the video, then quickly made two cloud backups. Only then did he let out an almost imperceptible sigh of relief.

He raised his head again to look at Lin Shen, and reached out to ruffle his hair.

"I've let you see a joke."

Lin Shen shook his head.

Lin Yuan took a step back and sat down on his bed.

He patted the side and called out to Lin Shen. "Come and sit."

The two brothers acted as if this matter really didn't happen.

They sat side by side on the soft bed.

"If you want to ask something, just ask." Lin Yuan was still holding his phone tightly.

Lin Shen couldn't help but turn to look at him.

Just now, the other party clearly said that he hoped that he would forget this matter and pretend that it never happened.

He didn't expect that a video would actually change the other party's attitude.

The young man in the video must be very important to his brother.

Or perhaps, he was even more important than himself?

Lin Shen thought a little uncertainly.

He had long been used to being ignored by his family.

He was also used to not being able to attract the slightest bit of attention no matter what he did.

When he suddenly came to this world and found out that he got a perfect score in physics, the whole family would happily celebrate.

On Family Day, the whole family would specially go to a hot spring hotel together.

To be honest, happiness came too suddenly. Lin Shen always felt that it was a bit unreal.

"Right now, is he in my original world?" Lin Shen thought over and over for a long time before finally choosing to start with this question.

"Yes." Lin Yuan softly replied.

Lin Shen was silent.

He was already mentally prepared, but he still didn't know what to say when he received this answer.

In that world, there were parents who were indifferent to him.

There was also a genius older brother, but his eyes wouldn't look at his ordinary younger brother.

There was also a little sister who was spoiled like a pearl in the palm. Although she wasn't arrogant, in her eyes, her second brother was also dispensable.

The only warmth was Yan Shuo. He was currently studying abroad and hadn't appeared in a long time.

Lin Shen grew up in that kind of environment. Just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable.

He really couldn't imagine it.

The original owner, who was surrounded by love and warmth for eighteen years, suddenly went to that kind of environment. He would definitely feel even more uncomfortable!

He was dazed for a moment before asking, "Why did we exchange?"

"Because ….." Lin Yuan bitterly smiled, "You're my real younger brother."

He reached out and rubbed Lin Shen's hair. Under the other's stunned expression, he said, "Ten years ago, there was an accident and you guys exchanged identities."

"Hm?"

Lin Shen's eyes widened in disbelief.

But he quickly let it go.

If he could transmigrate into a novel, what else couldn't happen?

"Do you still remember when you were young?" Lin Yuan asked again.

He didn't wait for Lin Shen to answer and added, "Before you were seven years old."

Lin Shen was dazed.

He thought about it. It seemed like his memories were really vague.

He didn't remember much about his childhood, but he always thought that it was normal.

After all, many people's memories of their childhood were very vague. Occasionally, there would be a flash of strange memories. Lin Shen would think that there was something wrong with his memory.

"It was when you were seven years old." Lin Yuan lightly sighed, "You had a serious illness. After you recovered, your entire person changed.

At first, everyone thought that it was a side effect of the illness. Later, they found out that it wasn't.

It was your soul that was exchanged with another soul. "

Lin Shen: "… …"

As the main character who transmigrated, he didn't seem to have the right to say anything about this kind of mysterious matter.

"How did you guys find out … …" Lin Shen curiously asked, "We're not the same person?

After all, he and I look pretty similar. "

"Because although you don't remember what happened before you got sick, he remembers."

Lin Yuan bitterly smiled again.

His second brother's IQ wasn't low. It was just that sometimes he was a little cute, soft, and sweet. The whole family loved him.

The child that was exchanged was the complete opposite.

The other party was also very smart, but compared to Lin Shen, he matured much earlier.

His eyes were always cold and bright.

Just from those eyes alone, one could tell the difference between them.

At first, when little Lin Shen recovered from his illness and said that he wasn't from this world, everyone thought that he was talking nonsense.

His parents were especially worried and took him all over the world to seek medical treatment.

The doctor saw him.

The psychologist saw him.

No one knew what to make of it.

How did he find out later?

He begged him to take him to another city.

A city that he had never been to.

But he was able to take Lin Yuan to many places that matched his description.

He said that he had spent his entire childhood there, so of course he knew everything.

Then he began to tell Lin Yuan.

In his world, his parents ignored him.

His genius brother never cared about him like Lin Yuan did. He only loved himself.

Moreover, he already had a little sister who was loved by everyone. His presence at home was almost invisible.

The seven or eight-year-old child spoke with assurance like a little adult.

His eyes were shockingly bright, and there was also a coldness that Lin Yuan had never seen in his little brother's eyes.

He was suddenly shocked and believed the child's words.

He began to worry crazily about how scared and helpless his adorable little brother, who grew up in the palm of his hands, would be in such an unfamiliar environment.

Lin Yuan convinced his parents. Their whole family believed the child's words.

They still treated him very well. After all, he was an innocent child.

Then he began to think of a way frantically. He wanted to find his biological little brother. He couldn't let him suffer like that.

Lin Yuan recovered from his memories and looked at Lin Shen, who was sitting beside him in a daze.

He couldn't help but reach out again and rub his head.

It was a real feeling. His adorable little brother was really back …

How great!

Lin Shen was lost in thought when his hair was ruffled again.

He shook his head and murmured, "Sorry, I was distracted."

"It's okay," Lin Yuan said, "In this house, you can be distracted if you want.

If you want to skip class, you can skip class. If you want me to do anything, you can ask. "

He rubbed Lin Shen's head again. "I only hope that you can be healthy, safe, and happy for the rest of your life."

Lin Yuan's voice was very gentle.

It was like the warmest wind in spring. It was warm and carried the dry smell of the sun.

It surrounded Lin Shen in the middle.

Lin Shen's nose turned sour when he heard it.

He turned his head away, not wanting the other party to see his suddenly red eyes.

"But he …" he murmured, "might not be very happy."

He couldn't completely digest the whole thing for a while.

But the general context was clear.

To put it simply, he and the Lin Shen of this world exchanged souls for some reason when they were seven years old.

Then he grew up in the other world until he was eighteen years old.

Then, because of a mysterious reason and power, they switched back.

His brother knew about this.

His parents and Xiao Che probably knew.

That was why they accepted him, who had no memories at all, as if he had become a different person.

Then, they tried their best to be good to him.

Those methods of expressing love that he felt were a little exaggerated now had an explanation.

So …

Lin Shen still couldn't believe that he was originally from here.

Lin Yuan, Lin Che, gentle and loving parents …

They were all his!

Then … what about Mo Juechen?

Lin Shen suddenly thought of this question.

Mo Juechen and him …

"You don't doubt me now, right?" Lin Yuan smiled and asked him.

He should have completely calmed down.

The one who was so nervous when he saw the video just now didn't seem to be him at all.

He didn't even mention the video again, nor did he ask Lin Shen where the video came from.

Of course, he didn't tell Lin Shen how they were switched back.

Lin Shen actually still had a lot of questions to ask.

For example, what did Lin Yuan mean by "I'm sorry"?

For example, where did the diary come from?

But he just scratched his head, not knowing what to say now.

"Shenshen." Lin Yuan seemed to have guessed his thoughts.

He spread his arms and gave him a warm hug from his brother.

"I didn't have time to say it, but my dear brother …" he said, "Welcome back!"
