In fact, the whole story wasn’t too complicated to explain.
At that time, Sang Qianqian would send Shen Hanyu messages and photos almost every day.
Sometimes it was the busy streets, sometimes it was a cup of warm coffee, and sometimes it was the roof of a church covered in snow.
Shen Hanyu had never replied, and she had never expected him to.
She must have thought he had blocked her and had no idea that he could actually see her messages. All her little emotions were revealed.
However, one day, she stopped sending messages.
Shen Hanyu knew that she was with Xie Shi’an. At first, he had no intention of prying into her life.
However, there was still no news from her after a while. Shen Hanyu could not help but worry that she had met with an accident.
As soon as he had this thought, he couldn’t sleep and eat in peace, so he immediately checked her whereabouts.
At that time, she was already in a hospital in another city, and Xie Shi’an was still by her side.
In the corner of the corridor outside the hospital ward, her eyes were full of tears and she couldn’t stop crying. Xie Shi’an’s hand lifted and lowered, raised and lowered again. In the end, he still gently stroked her shoulder and comforted her.
She stayed in the ward day and night. She didn’t know if she was too tired or in a daze, but one day, she fell down the stairs.
She didn’t know where she was hurt, but she lay on the ground, motionless.
In the surveillance camera, a nurse was shouting in panic. Then, Xie Shi’an rushed out of the ward, picked her up from the ground, and ran to the clinic as fast as he could…
Shen Hanyu had no idea what he was doing.
But by the time he found out, he was already on the plane to another country.
Fortunately, Sang Qianqian was fine. She had only fainted due to her weak body. After recuperating in the hospital for two days, she went back to take care of Professor Fu’er.
Shen Hanyu had planned to go back after seeing her.
However, he couldn’t help but stay for a few more days.
When he finally decided to return to China, Professor Fu’er suddenly passed away.
That night, Shen Hanyu saw from afar the Sang Qianqian who seemed to have lost her soul. She left the hospital and was pulled into a car by Xie Shi’an.
Xie Shi’an sent her back to the hotel. He stayed in her room for almost an hour before coming out.
Shen Hanyu sat in the car for a long time in silence.
In the middle of the night, Sang Qianqian suddenly went downstairs and got into a taxi.
Shen Hanyu had no idea what she was going to do, so he followed her out of instinct. To his surprise, he found that she was going to Professor Fu’er’s burned house.
He didn’t plan to go in at first, but she didn’t come out for a long time.
Soon, Shen Hanyu walked in and saw her rummaging through the ruins, looking for something.
In the end, she seemed to have lost all hope. She sat down helplessly, hugged her knees, and buried her head. She couldn’t stop sobbing. She looked so helpless and fragile.
Shen Hanyu was about to walk over, but he stopped himself.
It was a cold winter night, but the moon was unusually bright.
Shen Hanyu stood there quietly, looking at the moon through the broken walls. He listened to the intermittent crying in the cold night, and his heart broke into pieces.
After a long time, the crying finally stopped, and there was no more sound from inside.
Shen Hanyu walked in slowly and found her curled up in a corner. Her eyes were slightly closed, as if she had fallen asleep. There were still tears on her long, feather-like eyelashes.
She looked haggard and tired. Her face had slimmed down, her chin was sharp, and her slender fingers that fell on her knees were charred black. Upon closer inspection, there were many cuts, and even her white down jacket was stained with blood.
Shen Hanyu went to the house next door and borrowed some medicine for external injuries, a blanket, and some firewood.
He covered her with a blanket and started a fire. The house was finally a little warmer.
Shen Hanyu hesitated for a few seconds, but he still decided to treat the wound on her hand.
For the first time, the thought of not caring about anything anymore came to his mind. He thought that if she woke up, he would tell her the truth.
However, Sang Qianqian did not wake up.
She hadn’t slept for a few days. She was exhausted and had cried for so long that she fell into a deep sleep.
She was still unconscious by the time Shen Hanyu finished treating her wound.
Shen Hanyu observed her silently for a long time before finally calling Xie Shi’an.
When Xie Shi’an arrived, he didn’t ask him why he was here. He didn’t even say a word.
Shen Hanyu didn’t say much. He only said, “If you don’t want anything to happen to Ruan Xiaodie, don’t tell Qianqian I was here tonight.”
He then left and flew back to China that very night.
He had stayed in the hospital for almost a week, but he was actually very close to Sang Qianqian at times.
Occasionally, he would hear her talking to Xie Shi’an. She had asked Xie Shi’an to go back and accompany Xiaodie more than once.
However, Xie Shi’an always refused. He said that Cui Ke would take good care of Xiaodie.
Cui Ke was once Ruan Cheng’s trusted aide.
Shen Hanyu was surprised. He used some tricks and managed to get information about Ruan Xiaodie’s identity and condition from the servants in Xie Shi’an’s house.
At that time, he really thought that Sang Qianqian and Xie Shi’an were looking for Professor Fu’er for Ruan Xiaodie.
He did not even expect that Sang Qianqian was doing this for him.
“So you stayed in the hospital for seven days. You were clearly by my side, yet you avoided me.”
Sang Qianqian took a deep breath. “Shen Hanyu, do you even have a conscience? How could you be so indifferent when I was so sad? What do you want me to say about you?”
Even if he mistakenly thought that she was looking for Professor Fu’er for Ruan Xiaodie, since he was there, he should’ve at least gone to see her.
What kind of life had she lived those days? She was like a walking corpse, and she had lost her soul. She had really given up all hope, and she thought that she could not save Shen Hanyu.
If she had known that Shen Hanyu was by her side, she wouldn’t have broken down so easily and cried so hard!
“I was wrong,” Shen Hanyu said apologetically.
“Hmph, you’re not just wrong, you’re absolutely wrong.”
Sang Qianqian’s heart was filled with frustration. “If you didn’t break up with me back then, I would’ve gone to meet Professor Fu’er earlier. Maybe all those bad things wouldn’t have happened. Do you know how much of my time you wasted?”
“I know. So, you can punish me however you want.”
Shen Hanyu said gently. He leaned over slightly and stared at her with his dark eyes.
He pinched her face gently and said in a low and gentle voice, “Don’t be angry at yourself. It’s not worth it.”
“Alright, you said it. I can punish you however I want.”
Sang Qianqian glared at him, thought for a moment, and stretched out her arm. “My hands and shoulders are sore from writing just now. Help me massage them.”
“Sure,” Shen Hanyu replied with a smile.
He turned behind her and massaged her shoulders and arms. The strength of the massage was neither light nor heavy, and it was very comfortable.
Sang Qianqian was very satisfied, but she was not done yet. She placed her feet on the stepping stool and turned to look at Shen Hanyu with a smile. “I wore a pair of heels to work today, so my ankle hurts a lot.”
Shen Hanyu looked at her deeply, then obediently squatted down in front of her and began to massage her ankle..
