Chapter 299 - 299 300 Tenderness (2)_1
?Chapter 299: Chapter 300: Tenderness (2)_1 Chapter 299: Chapter 300: Tenderness (2)_1 Jing Haohao didn’t sleep well, constantly dreaming about events from her past. From her parents being swept away by a flood during her childhood to her encounter with Shen Liangnian, and how she ended up in Jiangshan City.
These memories of the past decade went by like a movie montage in her dreams, passing quickly frame by frame.
There was hardship, joy, happiness, but as it approached the end, it morphed into endless sorrow… Later, she dreamt about Qiao Wennuan arrogantly linking arms with Shen Liangnian, standing in front of her and mocking her with many harsh words. Shen Liangnian stood by, silent and indifferent.
Then, the scene changed. She was in a car, stepping on the accelerator, attempting to flee. Suddenly, someone darted in front of her vehicle. She hit the person, sending them flying into the air, before they crashed back down.
Frightened, she hurriedly got out of the car and saw a pool of blood everywhere…
…
Just as Liang Chen was finally settling his turbulent thoughts and preparing for sleep, he suddenly heard a low murmur coming from the woman next to him.
Her voice was somewhat indistinct. He couldn’t hear her clearly. Unable to resist, he moved closer and heard her restless sleep-talking: “Blood, blood…”
As she spoke, tears streamed down her pale face. Liang Chen realized that she was having a nightmare. He quickly reached out, gently shook her, and said: “Haohao? Haohao?”
…
In her dream, Jing Haohao stiffly walked over to the person lying in the pool of blood. She couldn’t see their face clearly. Bending down, she gently stretched out her hand to check their breath and found, they weren’t breathing anymore. Immediately, she collapsed on the ground in shock.
She had hit someone and killed them. She had actually killed someone…
Jing Haohao immediately got up and tried to find someone for help, but the street was deserted. Again and again, she ran forward, hoping to find someone. After what felt like forever without seeing anyone, at the brink of despair, a voice suddenly rang in her ears, “Haohao? Haohao?”
Jing Haohao opened her eyes bewilderedly and saw a familiar face. She frowned, then suddenly sniffled and cried out, “Liang Chen.”
Then it was as if she had found a life-saving straw. She flung herself into Liang Chen’s arms, clutching his waist tightly, “I killed someone! I killed someone! Quick, help me save them, save them.”
Liang Chen held Jing Haohao in his arms with one hand, and used the other to gently touch her tear-streaked face. “Haohao. It’s okay. You’re just having a nightmare. Look around, we’re in our own room. Where could anyone have been hit?”
Jing Haohao gazed at Liang Chen with a hint of confusion.
Liang Chen picked up the remote control and turned on the room’s chandelier. “Look, your iPad is still thrown on the floor. Over there, isn’t that the clothes you wore during the day? And there, those are the flowers that Nanny Lin picked for you from the backyard a few days ago.”
Following Liang Chen’s words, Jing Haohao’s eyes darted around the room. Recognizing the familiar surroundings, she let out a long sigh of relief.
With a gentle smile, Liang Chen held Jing Haohao and laid back down. He slowly stroked her back and his voice softly echoed in the quiet room, “It was just a nightmare, it’s okay. Don’t think too much, just go to sleep.”
PS: That’s all for today, we will continue tomorrow. Suddenly, I thought of a saying that I find quite true: “We all desire to meet and grow old with a Liang Chen, but in the end, we always end up meeting a Shen Liangnian.”
