Then, she thought of the dream that Sheng Yi had once had.

"Sheng Yi, you mentioned that dream you had before, after I died, what happened to you? How are you doing?"

Upon hearing this, a flash of pain crossed Sheng Yi's eyes, but then his familiar smile returned.

"What? You think I'm lying to you? I swear, I've never been married unless it's you, not even in my dreams."

Zhu Qinghao had thought so from the beginning, and now that it had been confirmed, her eyes reddened, and she choked up as she said:

"Fool."

Sheng Yi suppressed the soreness in his throat and said with a smile:

"You're such a silly girl. Didn't you say it was a dream? How can you take things in a dream seriously?"

For example, we are happy now, and we will be happy in the future, a happiness completely different from the one in our dreams.

Zhu Qing laughed for a moment and then burst into tears, not knowing whether she was crying for herself in her past life or for Sheng Yi in her past life.

Or perhaps they are crying because of the happiness they have experienced in this life, which is completely different from their previous one.

Sheng Yi's eyes reddened as well, but he didn't stop her from venting her emotions. He just hugged her and comforted her again and again.

After Zhu Qinghao had cried enough, she turned her head and looked at Sheng Yi with her red and swollen eyes, saying each word clearly:

"I've had that dream too, or perhaps it wasn't a dream at all, but rather our real life."

This happened in my 'dream'. After I died, I was too passive; I couldn't go anywhere or do anything, so I never saw anything related to you. I'm sorry..."

As soon as she opened her mouth to speak, tears welled up in Sheng Yi's eyes, and he clenched his hands tightly together.

He had prayed countless times in secret, hoping that it really was just a simple dream.

But now, reality has given him a harsh slap in the face.

He could sense Zhu Qinghao's despair even in his dreams, but she said it was the result of her entire life experience.

That must hurt so much...

His dear Hao Hao, such a young and fragile girl, how did she manage to get through so much all by herself, with no one to rely on and no one to depend on?

He simply couldn't imagine it, and he didn't dare to even think about it.

But he had no doubt what Zhu Qinghao said.

In fact, ever since he had that dream, he had come to believe that Zhu Qinghao had really experienced those things.

He was just too cowardly and kept deceiving himself.

Even though he knew Zhu Qinghao had a secret, he never dared to think about it. As long as she didn't tell him, he wouldn't take the initiative to explore it.

"Okay, okay, you don't need to apologize. You haven't done anything to wrong me. If anyone should apologize, it should be me."

If I had found out sooner, if I had known about the Zhu family's situation earlier, if I had rushed back to see you whenever I had the chance, like in previous years, if... maybe everything would be different. It's my fault.

Zhu Qinghao shook her head, crying. How could she blame him? He hadn't done anything wrong. No one could be blamed for him.

"Don't say that, and don't put such a shackle on yourself. It's not your fault, it's never your fault."

Sheng Yi didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer. He felt that if he continued to dwell on it, Zhu Qinghao might start to think that everything was her fault.

"Okay, then let's not think about this anymore. From now on, we will definitely be very happy, healthy, and live a long and healthy life."

He didn't ask her if her past life was very difficult or unbearable; he simply said that she would definitely be happy, healthy, and live a long life in the future.

Zhu Qinghao smiled and nodded, wiping away her tears.

"Yes, it will definitely happen in this lifetime. We will all do it, and our family will too. And all of this is the result of those hardships."

After thinking it over, Zhu Qinghao decided to stop hiding it and come clean.
