144 Their Eternal Love Was Like the Endless Starlight
Sang Qianqian woke up in a cold sweat. It was dark outside the window, and it was only two in the morning.
The scene in the dream replayed in her mind over and over again. It was impossible for her to fall asleep any more.
What happened in the dream? Why did Shen Hanyu change his att.i.tude toward her? Why was he so sad about her death?
If it wasn’t Shen Hanyu, then who was the one who caused the tragedy in the dream?
Sang Qianqian had many questions in her heart, but none of them could be answered. Perhaps she could only get a rough idea when he dreamed again.
Having not slept well for two consecutive nights, Sang Qianqian’s eye bags were a little heavy.
Shen Hanyu came to pick her up at night. He could tell that something was wrong with her. “Why do you look so tired? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Sang Qianqian shook her head. “I just didn’t sleep well these past two days.”
“Are you still thinking about Ding Aojia?”
Shen Hanyu looked at her and apologized in a low voice, “I shouldn’t have brought you there that night.”
Ding Aojia’s head had been smashed, and her death had been too brutal. Seeing that must’ve undoubtedly traumatized Sang Qianqian.
He was to blame for his lack of consideration.
Sang Qianqian smiled. “It has nothing to do with that. Have you forgotten that I’m a doctor? That won’t affect me much.”
To be honest, she was indeed a little shocked when she saw Ding Aojia’s tragic state that night.
However, it was mainly because she remembered the dream where she fell from a building and died tragically. It seemed that she had also suffered a head injury, so she was more or less uneasy.
It had little to do with Ding Aojia’s death.
For the past two days, her mind had been filled with nightmares, and she had even forgotten about Ding Aojia. Now that Shen Hanyu mentioned it, she asked, “How’s the case going?”
“The police are handling it.”
Shen Hanyu’s tone turned cold. “As expected, the Ding family won’t let this go. They want Xia Sitong to pay with her life. My dad has already hired a lawyer for her. As for Han Tianyi,”
He paused. “It’s just a case of trying to cover up the crime. Even if he’s sentenced, it shouldn’t be too heavy.”
Sang Qianqian nodded her head, “As for Uncle Shen, please tell him to not worry so much over Xia Sitong.”
Ding Aojia was Ding Chenghua’s only daughter, so it was only natural for her to have such an att.i.tude. It could only be said that evildoers brought about their own destruction, and Xia Sitong truly deserved what she had done that day.
Since she dared to have the thought of killing someone twice, she should have expected such a day to come.
However, Han Tianyi was rather pitiful.

When Shen Hanyu sent her to Yushui Bay.
“Sang Qianqian,” the man’s eyes were gentle. “I sent you an email. Take a look when you have time, and tell me which one you choose.”
“What are you making me choose?” Sang Qianqian was slightly startled.
Shen Hanyu’s lips curled up. “You’ll know when we go back.”
The first thing Sang Qianqian did when she returned to her room was to turn on her computer.
Shen Hanyu’s email seemed to be a program.
After the installation was completed, the computer screen suddenly changed to the scene of a wedding.
All the wedding themes, including the venue’s decorations, were all vivid and lifelike, as if they were in front of her eyes. She could even magnify the most specific details infinitely.
He had given her a total of ten options. After all the themes had been played, two anime characters that looked very similar to her and Shen Hanyu appeared on the screen.
They held hands and gazed at each other affectionately.
The boy held flowers and a diamond ring, kneeling down sincerely. “Sang Qianqian, marry me.”
The girl lowered her eyes shyly, and two selection boxes appeared beside her, ‘Marry’, and ‘Don’t marry.’
Sang Qianqian was overjoyed and naughtily refused to marry. She wanted to see what his next reaction would be.
In the end, a dialog box popped up. “You can’t.”
She couldn’t help but smile. Why would he set such an option if she could not?
To be frank, she could only choose to marry.
The moment the mouse clicked on the word ‘Marry’, the screen suddenly bloomed with beauty.
A meteor shower streaked across the starry night sky, and the two anime characters hugged and kissed each other affectionately.
Behind them, the endless starlight condensed their silhouettes, as if portraying their eternal love.
Sang Qianqian looked at it for a long time until her eyes were slightly moist.
Shen Hanyu wasn’t good at sweet-talking, and his emotions were too deep and restrained to a certain extent.
Even though he had liked her for five years and was now with her, he had never once said that he liked her or loved her. Even when he confessed to her, he was reserved and restrained.
He only asked if he could give them a chance to try to be together.
He never said any sweet words.
However, the way he looked at her, the words he said to her, the things he did, the things he could see and couldn’t see, all of these made Sang Qianqian feel his deep love for her.
It was like the dark night filled with stars, and also like the boundless sea. It seemed calm, but it was hard to guess its depth. It was heavy and deep.
How could she not like such a man? How could she bear to give him up?

She didn’t know if it was the program that brought her a visual feast. That night, Sang Qianqian did not dream and had a good night’s sleep.
Two days later, Yun Li finished the interview and was ready to return to Yuecheng. She did not ask Sang Qianqian to send her off and only came to her school to see her.
Sang Qianqian didn’t know if she was seeing things, but she felt that Yun Li was a little strange.
Yun Li asked her a question before leaving, “Sang Qianqian, if, um, I’m hiding something from you, will you be angry?”
Sang Qianqian smiled and said, “That depends on what it is. Tell me, what are you hiding from me?”
Yun Li struggled for a long time, but in the end, she still couldn’t say anything.
Sang Qianqian was rather puzzled. Beating around the bush didn’t seem like Yun Li’s style.
However, when she asked her again and again, she said that she didn’t do anything and was only in a hurry to return and submit her ma.n.u.script.
Sang Qianqian was worried and called Wen Xu. “When Yun Li and Rong Ce had dinner together, didn’t you and Rong Yan go? Did something happen? Why do I feel like something’s off with Yun Li?”
Wen Xu smiled. “Nothing happened; Everything went smoothly. Sister, you don’t have to worry about her.”
Sang Qianqian was suspicious. She could only attribute it to the fact that she had been a little dazed by the nightmare. Was she overthinking?
It was strange.
Just as Sang Qianqian was patiently waiting to enter the dream, trying to figure out what had happened…
For the next few days, Sang Qianqian didn’t have any more nightmares.
That was until Sang Pengcheng called her and asked how she was doing in Ming City. She told him she wanted to get married to Shen Hanyu.
Sang Pengcheng was shocked and a little annoyed. “How can marriage be treated like a child’s play?”
“But I like Shen Hanyu, and he likes me too,” Sang Qianqian said seriously. “We’re going to get married sooner or later anyway. What’s the difference between getting married earlier or later?”
Sang Pengcheng was rendered speechless by his daughter’s reb.u.t.tal. “Even so, we can’t be so hasty!”
“But we’ve already started preparing for the wedding.”
Sang Qianqian smiled and said, “In a few days, Hanyu and Uncle Shen will go to Yuecheng to meet Dad and Brother in person for the marriage proposal.”
Sang Pengcheng was speechless. This daughter of his was really…
The pa.s.sion he had for Shen Hanyu back then seemed to have returned, and he was really helpless.
On the phone, Sang Qianqian and Sang Pengcheng chatted for a long time before her father’s att.i.tude finally changed.
That night, she didn’t know what she had triggered, but Sang Qianqian started to dream again.
