Chapter 241 - 241 The Best Form of Love
241 The Best Form of Love
Sang Qianqian’s gaze fell on the flower, and her expression was a little subtle.
Shen Hanyu had always known that she did not like roses.
She still remembered the first time Shen Hanyu gave her flowers. At that time, her relationship with Shen Hanyu was still unclear.
At that time, she would go to the Imperial Creek Terrace every night to perform acupuncture on Shen Hanyu. One day, Shen Hanyu would ask her what kind of flowers she liked.
She replied, “Bellflowers.”
A few days later, when Shen Hanyu sent her back to her place, he gave her a bouquet of Chinese Bellflowers.
It was Chinese Valentine’s Day that night, but Shen Hanyu said that the flowers had nothing to do with the day, and were only to thank her for her treatment during this period of time.
Sang Qianqian couldn’t reject it and could only accept his kindness.
The meaning of the Chinese Bellflowers was eternal, unrepentant, and unwavering love.
In her previous life, when Sang Qianqian passed away, Shen Hanyu would bring Chinese Bellflowers to her grave every time he visited her.
Be it in her previous life or this life, balloon flowers had always been Sang Qianqian’s favorite flower.
If Shen Hanyu had really asked Shen Shaofeng to give her flowers, he would not have given her roses.
However, she still took the bouquet of roses and smiled obediently. “Thank you, Uncle Shen,”
Shen Shaofeng waved his hand. “Don’t thank me. I’m just giving a gift on behalf of Hanyu.”
It was obvious that he was really happy. He smiled and said, “What a good day it is today. I just called Hanyu and he said that he would be back tomorrow morning. I didn’t expect Qianqian to wake up at the same time. This is a double blessing.”
Sang Qianqian’s heart skipped a beat. Was Shen Hanyu going back to the capital tomorrow?
He didn’t mention it at all in the phone call just now.
“That’s great. Qianqian will be discharged tomorrow afternoon.”
Sang Minglang replied calmly, “If Shen Hanyu had come earlier, he would have been able to pick up my sister in time.”
“Alright, I’ll tell Hanyu about it later.”
Shen Shaofeng smiled. “I’ll come with Hanyu to pick Qianqian up from the hospital tomorrow.”
Sang Qianqian really wanted to call Shen Hanyu again to confirm, but in the end, she held back.
After typing countless messages, she deleted them one by one. In the end, she only sent Shen Hanyu one sentence: [Hanyu, I’ll be waiting for you.]
After sending the message, she waited for a long time but did not receive a reply.
He was probably busy.
Sang Qianqian consoled herself and did not get angry. Having lived two lives, she felt warm just thinking about Shen Hanyu’s name.
Shen Hanyu was still alive. To her, he was her greatest medium for comfort.
Everything she had experienced was worth it.
The most difficult time had passed. In the future, her relationship with Shen Hanyu would only be a smooth and open road.
No matter how cold Shen Hanyu sounded on the phone, she did not believe that he would remain unmoved when he saw her.
—
The setting sun gradually faded into the dark blue night sky, and the light in the ward gradually dimmed.
The faint light on the screen was still on.
Shen Hanyu stared at the message for a long time before he finally turned off the phone.
He didn’t send a reply.
He didn’t know how long she had been standing in front of the window before the door behind him was pushed open.
“Why didn’t you turn on the lights?”
Shen Shaofeng raised his hand to turn on the switch on the wall, and the incandescent light suddenly lit up.
Shen Hanyu did not turn around. “It’s so late. Why are you here?”
“I’m worried, so I’m here to ask Mr. Chen about your situation.”
The expression on Shen Shaofeng’s face at the moment was no longer the smile he had when he faced the Sang family. instead, it had an indescribable heaviness.
He slowly walked to Shen Hanyu’s side and stood there for a long time before he said, “Do you know how your mother and I met back then?”
Shen Hanyu turned to look at Shen Shaofeng. He didn’t understand why his father would suddenly ask such a question.
To be honest, he really did not know how his parents got together in the past.
If they did not take the initiative to tell him, Shen Hanyu would not ask either.
However, he had seen with his own eyes how much his father loved his mother. He had also seen how his father’s personality changed drastically after his mother’s death, and how he was so paranoid that he had a mental breakdown.
When his mother was alive, she looked at her father with undisguised dependence, trust, and love, which had not diminished even a little over the years.
They had never quarreled before. They only had each other’s backs and were deeply in love like glue. That was the best form of love.
That was Shen Hanyu’s first understanding of love.
However, he had never known the reason for the love between his parents.
“You might not believe it, but your mother and I actually met because of an email. We were considered online friends.”
Shen Shaofeng recalled the past and his eyes softened. “At that time, your mother was only seventeen.”
Shen Shaofeng was only twenty years old and was still a third-year university student.
One day, a random email was sent to Shen Shaofeng’s mailbox by accident.
In the email was the self-narration of a 17-year-old girl who had been bedridden for a long time. She was depressed and depressed.
She said that she had been suffering from heart failure since she was born and that she had spent more than half of the year in a hospital.
She said that she couldn’t go to school and make friends like a normal child. She was very lonely.
Other than that, she said she liked to climb mountains and hoped to see the sunrise at the top of the mountain. Unfortunately, due to her body condition, she had no chance at all to do such a physically exhausting activity.
She mentioned that this kind of life was really boring at times, and she really wanted to leave the world…
Perhaps he was influenced by the emotions in the letter, or perhaps he didn’t want the little girl to do anything stupid, but Shen Shaofeng replied to the email.
He actually did not know how to persuade her. After thinking for a long time, he typed a few words, advising her to be optimistic, to believe that her illness would be cured one day, and that her wishes would come true. However, the words were somewhat dry and powerless.
Due to this, Shen Shaofeng got up in the middle of the night and went to a mountain to watch the sunrise.
He recorded the entire process and sent it to the young lady.
Shen Shaofeng did this out of the simplest sympathy. He tried his best to convey the kindness that a stranger could give and did not expect the other party to reply.
However, the little girl quickly replied, her words filled with joy. She did not expect that she would receive such sincere comfort from a stranger when she was just venting her emotions.
Afterward, the two of them got to know each other.
The days in the hospital were lonely and boring. She would often tell this stranger what she saw and heard in the hospital, as well as her thoughts.
Shen Shaofeng couldn’t bear to disappoint her, so he would reply to her seriously every time.
The things that the little girl wanted to eat, the things she wanted to do, the places she wanted to go.
Shen Shaofeng patiently tried everything for her and then sent her videos of it to let her experience it personally.
Their relationship as ‘online friends’ had lasted for four years.
Shen Shaofeng gradually realized that he had already developed some feelings for this girl.
Soon, he had sent Zhen Yixin the most outrageous email he had typed in the many years he knew her.
He had asked her if she could be his girlfriend, but he didn’t receive a reply. In fact, he didn’t hear from Zhen Yixin for a long time.
