Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo

Chapter 21 Dreaming of Ning Tingnan

"I saw your interview online. You're great." Lin Yunzheng sent a WeChat message to Huo Chenyuan.

After a long time, Lin Yunzheng received a reply: "Thank you."

Just these two words, nothing else.

Huo Chenyuan booked a flight for tomorrow and originally told Lin Yunzheng to return to Yunzhou tomorrow in advance.

However, perhaps because he still felt distant, Huo Chenyuan put down his phone and still didn't say anything.

Huo Chenyuan didn't know that Ning Tingnan, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, was also watching the TV interview program through the Internet.

Ning Tingnan once studied for a master's and doctoral degree with Huo Chenyuan until they separated. They had been in love for many years.

That breakup caused Huo Chenyuan great psychological trauma, and he was single for many years without finding a girlfriend.

Over the years, Mrs. Huo had arranged countless blind dates for him, but Huo Chenyuan either refused to go or left after a few minutes to get by.

Huo Chenyuan didn't know if he would ever forget Ning Tingnan. Over the years, their photo had been kept in Huo Chenyuan's study.

In the blink of an eye, several years have passed, but some fragments deep in my memory are still clearly visible, like traces engraved deep in my soul that cannot be erased.

Huo Chenyuan once thought that his marriage with Ning Tingnan was a match made in heaven. They both studied at the world's top universities, had similar family backgrounds and social status, and even had the same aspirations for the future.

At that time, he was full of expectations, thinking that he had found his destined soul mate.

However, things are unpredictable. Ning Tingnan suddenly proposed to break up. In the days that followed, he was immersed in loss, lost his way for a while, and even started drinking. It was not until he returned to China that he quit drinking under the urging of his grandmother.

Huo Chenyuan no longer wanted to recall the reason for their breakup that year.

After reading many psychology books and going through a long process of self-healing, Huo Chenyuan gradually let go of the past and began to focus on his career as a doctor.

After the interview, Huo Chenyuan returned to the hotel to rest.

As soon as I sat down, my cell phone rang.

It’s a WeChat account I haven’t contacted for many years.

It was Ning Tingnan who called.

Huo Chenyuan looked up out the window. The dim light from the street lamps penetrated the mist, casting mottled shadows and adding a bit of loneliness to the atmosphere.

Huo Chenyuan looked at the scenery, hesitated for a moment, and finally pressed the answer button. At that moment, it seemed as if time and space intertwined, pulling him back to his youth many years ago.

"Chen Yuan, I saw the news. Congratulations on being named an outstanding young doctor." Ning Tingnan's voice on the other end of the phone was soft and affectionate, just like it was back then, but with a bit more vicissitudes and emotion.

Huo Chenyuan responded slowly: "Thank you for your blessing, Miss Ning, these are all things of the past."

Huo Chenyuan called her "Miss Ning", and it seemed that he was deliberately keeping a distance from her in his heart.

Ning Tingnan asked softly: "Chen Yuan, is it possible for us to start over? I know I missed too much. Do we still have a chance?"

Huo Chenyuan's heart suddenly moved, and a beautiful picture of knowing and accompanying Ning Tingnan flashed through his mind. The warmth that once felt was so precious that it could not be described in any words, but it also hurt him deeply, so deeply that it could not be hurt any more.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Ning Tingnan, many things are hard to turn back once you miss them."

"When you were being interviewed, the host asked you about your situation and you said you were married... Is that true?" Miss Ning's voice trembled a little.

Huo Chenyuan paused, and finally spoke slowly: "Yes, I am married."

There was a moment of silence on both ends of the phone.

No one broke the silence, and Ning Tingnan hung up the voice call.

Huo Chenyuan knew in his heart that the past was over. His current legal wife was Lin Yunzheng, and she was his only wife.

Huo Chenyuan felt a little tired, so he took a shower and went to bed.

In the silence of the universe, Huo Chenyuan fell asleep. The scene in his dream slowly unfolded like a scroll, returning him to that distant yet familiar foreign land - Toronto, Canada.

At that time, he was a young student diligently pursuing a doctorate degree.

In his dream, Huo Chenyuan strolled across the University of Toronto campus, moving between the library and the lab. The thick snow crunched under his feet. Snowflakes continued to fall, landing on treetops, rooftops, and even every corner, creating a quiet and pure atmosphere.

Just as he was immersed in this rare tranquility and beauty, his gaze suddenly shifted to a side path. There stood a woman, Ning Tingnan. She was wearing a red coat, a stark contrast to the white surroundings, like a ray of warm sunshine on a winter day.

Her smile was gentle and sweet, and she waved to him. Ning Tingnan's smile was like the sunshine in winter, warm and bright, illuminating Huo Chenyuan's whole world.

Huo Chenyuan took a step forward, heading towards Ning Tingnan. Then, they walked side by side, chatting and laughing, sharing each other's dreams and future. Huo Chenyuan felt that the winter in Toronto was no longer cold because of Ning Tingnan's company. With her around, every scene became vivid and warm.

However, just as Huo Chenyuan reached out to touch Ning Tingnan's hand, the scene suddenly changed. The scene before him began to blur, and Ning Tingnan's figure gradually moved further away until it disappeared. In its place was a biting cold wind and snowflakes dancing wildly in the sky.

He tried his best to chase after it, but he couldn't catch up. He could only watch the beauty disappear into thin air.

Suddenly, Huo Chenyuan woke up with a start, his pillowcase soaked with sweat, and his heart beating violently.

Looking around, everything seemed a world away. It turned out to be just a dream, a dream about the past, about lost love, about irreversible fate.

The next day, the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the hotel window onto Huo Chenyuan's sleeping face.

The alarm on his cell phone rang quietly. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up.

The conversation with Ning Tingnan last night touched some soft corners of his heart, but somehow, he actually missed Lin Yunzheng's figure a little bit, and missed seeing her wearing cheongsam that morning.

At that moment, he felt that Qianyue Jiayuan was home.

After packing his luggage, Huo Chenyuan walked out of the room and headed for the airport.

The sky was clear blue all the way. After arriving at the airport, he first went to the airport mall to pick out perfume as a gift for Lin Yunzheng.

The saleswoman was a warm and generous lady. She smiled and recommended several best-selling products to Huo Chenyuan, and asked earnestly, "Sir, which special lady is this perfume intended for?"

A hint of tenderness flashed in Huo Chenyuan's eyes, and he answered frankly: "It's for my wife."

After careful selection, the salesperson chose a bottle of perfume called "Elegant Cream" for Huo Chenyuan. Its scent is light yet elegant.

A few hours later, the plane landed safely at Yunzhou International Airport.
