Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1469: Chapter 1469: Seeking the Enlightenment from a Dream

That night, An Hao laughed and joked at the dinner table just like any other day, carefully making sure not to let any hint of a flaw show.

Zhang Lanxiang told her that Zhang Jianguo had already sealed off the news.

Therefore, for the time being, this news wouldn’t reach Ning Yibin’s ears.

During this time, An Hao needed to carefully consider what to do next, ”Is Qin Jian really dead? That’s hard to say!”

Although everyone had witnessed that scene, An Hao couldn’t bring herself to believe it no matter what.

Could it be that she was reborn just to watch Qin Jian die?

In her previous life, she had died by jumping off a building, leaving Qin Jian alone for a lifetime.

In this life, could it be fate had turned the cycle upside down? Was she now meant to spend a lifetime guarding Qin Jian’s cold grave?

”An Hao? What are you thinking about that you’re so lost in thought? You’ve cleaned the bowl already, why are you still scraping it?” Zhang Yun asked, looking at An Hao with amusement.

”I... I was just thinking that Qin Jian has been in the disaster area for quite some time. I miss him a lot and want to go see him,” An Hao raised her head and said to Zhang Yun.

”Yes, it’s been a while since Qin Jian came back. You really should go see him. They’re probably starting reconstruction over there, aren’t they? Why not go early and see what the situation is like? That way you’ll feel at ease, and we will too,” Zhang Yun agreed with her daughter-in-law’s idea.

Ning Yibin thought it was feasible too, ”Okay. If you want to go, I’ll send someone to take you there tomorrow.”

An Hao wanted to refuse but, on second thought, if she did refuse, she was afraid it would arouse the family’s suspicions, so she agreed.

Afterward, she’d find a way to act according to the situation.

Finally, when it was time to sleep at night, An Hao made an excuse of feeling unwell and handed her two children over to her mother-in-law, Zhang Yun.

She went back upstairs by herself, and as soon as she closed the door, tears streamed down her cheeks.

”Qin Jian... have you really left me?” An Hao murmured, clutching her chest, ”Why can’t I feel your presence, nor sense your departure?”

Where had all those premonitions from before gone?

She now needed those premonitions to help her locate Qin Jian.

An Hao remembered how she had had a high fever the last two times, and each fever had brought her some kind of dream.

This time, she wanted to have a fever, to see if the dreams would bring her some premonitions and revelations.

She locked the door to her room, then stripped off her clothes and walked into the bathroom, filling a basin to the brim with water and dousing herself from head to toe.

In the bitter winter, the water was piercingly cold.

An Hao’s teeth chattered from the cold, and her lips turned purple.

She endured it, pouring basin after basin over herself until her body temperature shot up like a rocket.

She had a fever.

An Hao dreamed, and in her dream everything was pitch black, and she couldn’t see anything clearly.

”Qin Jian... Qin Jian...” she fumbled in the darkness, calling out his name anxiously.

Her voice echoed repeatedly in the air, but she never heard Qin Jian’s reply.

An Hao despaired.

Was this the revelation her dream had brought her?

Suddenly, a light sliced through the darkness, and she heard her mother-in-law’s familiar voice calling out to her non-stop.

Just as An Hao was about to open her eyes, she saw a figure dressed in army green walking towards her, arms slowly opening up.

”Qin Jian...” An Hao murmured the name, her eyes fluttering open after a few blinks.
