Shi Mengwan never knew that one day, she would fall into such a situation.
She had once fantasized that if one day, she met her Dear Brother and she found him, what would happen to her?
Ever since she separated from her Dear Brother at the age of thirteen, she had often thought about it. Sometimes, his heart ached just thinking about it. When she couldn't find Big Brother, she felt lost and lost. But now that he had found the person, he felt even worse.
She was upset that her Dear Brother had forgotten about her and that he was treating her with such an attitude now.
However, she hated herself even more. For the sake of that little bit of hope from before. He had put himself in such an awkward situation.
Her gaze fell on Zhan Haoze's face, only to find that he had opened his eyes. Seeing that she was staring at him, he reached out and pulled her waist into his arms.
Their bodies were pressed together again. Shi Mengwan wasn't used to this kind of intimacy.
"Don't move." Zhan Haoze put his hand on her waist to prevent her from making a sound. "It seems that you don't want to sleep? If that's the case — "
His hand slowly moved down from the back of her waist. Shi Mengwan was shocked and quickly grabbed his hand. "Don't do anything rash."
Even she herself felt that her words were not imposing at all. If he wanted to mess around, he would have done it long ago. Why would he care about this?
She lowered her head and saw Zhan Haoze's chest. She turned her face away uncomfortably.
"I'm sleepy. I want to sleep. "
She tried to turn her back on him, but he wouldn't give her the chance.
He pulled her body into his arms again. He lowered his head and looked at the flash of resistance in her eyes.
"Let's sleep like this."
Shi Mengwan became more and more uncomfortable. How could she fall asleep like this?
"If you don't sleep, I'll continue." His hand rested on her waist again.
Zhan Haoze threatened again. Shi Mengwan seemed to be frightened and quickly closed her eyes.
Her eyes were closed tightly, and her long and thick eyelashes were trembling slightly.
Zhan Haoze's eyes darkened. The hand that wasn't on Shi Mengwan's waist trembled slightly. He raised it as if he was about to touch her face, but then he put it down again.
He closed his eyes and did not look at her again.
Shi Mengwan couldn't fall asleep. Her mind was in a mess. She was rarely at a loss like this.
Zhan Haoze's chest was burning, and his hands on his waist were firm and strong. She couldn't break free, but she was afraid that he would really do it again.
She closed her eyes and forced herself not to look at him. She thought that she wouldn't be able to fall asleep, but she fell asleep again in a daze.
The dream came without warning, and Shi Mengwan saw her 12-year-old self again.
She had been with Qiao Ze for more than a month. After more than a month, she had more or less familiarized herself with her surroundings.
Sometimes she would go out during the day to look around, but she would not go too far and would come back again.
She found a very old bookstore at the end of the alley. Then she had something to do.
Qiao Ze's residence didn't have a TV or other electronic products. At that time, there were already cell phones.
However, it was impossible for people like Qiao Ze and her to afford cell phones and communication products.
Shi Mengwan had nothing to do, so she went to the bookstore to borrow books every day. There weren't many books in the bookstore, but she liked to go there. At least she could pass the time.
However, Qiao Ze went out every day. He seemed to be very busy. Especially after the injury on his hand healed, he went out early and returned late every day.
Sometimes, he would come back for dinner, but after dinner, he would run out again.
She asked him what he was doing, but he told her not to worry about it. After a long time, she didn't ask anymore.
Like Qiao Ze's sister, she cleaned up the house, cooked, and washed clothes for him every day.
However, after she stayed at Qiao Ze's place for more than a month, the weather in Lin City entered late autumn.
Lin City was located in the south, and the weather was extreme. In such a season, the temperature difference was huge. It was fine during the day. She only wore long sleeves, so she didn't feel cold.
But at night, a blanket really couldn't warm her up. She felt cold.
When it turned cold on the first day, she could still endure it. The next day, there was an autumn rain.
She was extremely cold. She curled up on the sofa and looked at Qiao Ze's room with a conflicted expression.
She had stayed at Qiao Ze's place for more than a month, so she naturally knew that the young man's house only had a blanket and nothing else.
She didn't know where the young man got the money from during this period of time, but he had enough to eat and buy clothes for her. But she wasn't sure if her Dear Brother would agree to buy a blanket.
She was so cold that she felt uncomfortable. She tossed and turned on the sofa for a long time, but she couldn't fall asleep.
"What are you doing?"
Her movements were so loud that even Qiao Ze, who was inside, was disturbed by her. He got up and looked at Shi Mengwan, who was sleeping on the sofa. His face was full of unhappiness.
Shi Mengwan got up and wrapped herself tightly with the blanket. She looked at the young man timidly.
"I'm cold."
She was too embarrassed to continue. She originally wanted to take care of Qiao Ze until his hand recovered and then go home. She thought about how she quarreled with her grandmother and how her family was like that. If she went back and her parents didn't change their mind and still wanted to send her sister away, she would rather not go back.
But after staying for more than a month, although Qiao Ze sometimes looked fierce, he treated her well.
Qiao Ze treated her well, but she was a little embarrassed.
He saved her from being bullied. She stayed to repay him for saving her life.
But now, she wanted him to raise her. Now, she even wanted him to buy her a blanket.
A twelve-year-old girl was very thin-skinned. If it wasn't for the fact that it was really cold, she would be too embarrassed to say anything.
Qiao Ze glanced at her, then looked at the sofa.
"Go sleep on the bed."
"What about you?"
Shi Mengwan bit her lip and looked at the sofa. He was much taller than her. How could he sleep on such a sofa?
Qiao Ze didn't say anything and gestured for her to get up. He pulled the blanket over and lay down on the sofa.
When he really fell asleep, Shi Mengwan realized that Qiao Ze really couldn't sleep.
He was already 1.7 meters tall. He couldn't even put his feet down when he slept on the sofa. Not to mention that the small blanket couldn't cover him.
"Dear Brother …"
"Go to sleep." Qiao Ze closed his eyes as if he was going to sleep just like that.
Shi Mengwan bit her lip. She didn't enter the room. She looked at Qiao Ze and then at the bed.
In the end, her hands clenched tightly into fists.
"Dear Brother. Why don't you sleep on the bed too? "
The weather was getting colder and colder. She couldn't let Qiao Ze sleep on the sofa outside. If this continued, he would definitely catch a cold.
When Qiao Ze heard this, he opened his eyes and looked at her. "You want to sleep with me?"
"…" Shi Mengwan was a little embarrassed. In the end, she nodded. "Dear Brother, I believe in you."
Qiao Ze stared at her face and finally sat up.
Shi Mengwan entered the room, and Qiao Ze followed her in.
He lay down on the bed. Shi Mengwan stood there, feeling a little awkward.
After Qiao Ze fell asleep, he pulled the blanket over himself and closed his eyes to sleep. After waiting for a while, he didn't see Shi Mengwan come up to sleep, so he opened his eyes again.
He looked at Shi Mengwan and found that she was standing there motionlessly, a little at a loss for what to do.
"Aren't you sleepy?"
Sleepy, how could she not be sleepy? But no matter how sleepy she was, she was still a girl.
Just now, she was just impulsive. She was afraid that Dear Brother wouldn't sleep well and would catch a cold, so she asked him to sleep on the bed too.
Now that she had calmed down, Shi Mengwan felt awkward.
"Then go to sleep."
Qiao Ze ran outside every day during the day, so he exercised a lot every day. Now, he was sleepy and wanted to sleep.
Before he closed his eyes, he glanced at Shi Mengwan again.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your shriveled body."
Shi Mengwan was still a little girl. When had she ever heard such words? Her face was burning fiercely. She was blushing and embarrassed.
But what Qiao Ze said was the truth.
She was only twelve years old this year and hadn't developed yet. She was just a little girl.
She got on the bed and slept an arm's length away from Qiao Ze. She covered her body with the blanket. Covering herself with a blanket was completely different from covering herself with a blanket.
She finally felt that she wasn't cold anymore. Because she wasn't cold anymore, her complexion was much better.
With someone sleeping beside her, she thought that she wouldn't be able to sleep. But she was really sleepy. Slowly, she actually fell asleep.
When Shi Mengwan woke up in the morning, she realized that she was sleeping with Qiao Ze.
The young man's sleeping posture was quite casual. One of his feet was already outside the blanket, and the other was still under the blanket.
His slender arm was placed on her shoulder just like that.
Shi Mengwan looked at that hand and then at the young man's sleeping face. She confirmed that the young man didn't mean it.
She uncomfortably stepped back, wanting to avoid the young man's hand. But the bed was only so big, so where could she avoid it?
She could only take the young man's hand away, but the young man opened his eyes at this moment.
Her hand was still holding his hand, and she suddenly met the young man's dark and deep gaze. Shi Mengwan was shocked and quickly let go of her hand.
Qiao Ze's hand dropped again and hit her shoulder.
She felt the pain, and her face instantly changed color.
"What are you doing?" The young man stood up. His duck-like voice sounded a little hoarse in the morning, and it was even more unpleasant to hear.
"… Nothing." Shi Mengwan quickly got up. "I, I'm just asking you what you're eating for breakfast."
"Anything." There was no need to ask about such things. Shi Mengwan had always made her own decisions.
Shi Mengwan hadn't lived with her parents since she was young. Because her parents had given birth to a girl, she wasn't close to her cousins at home.
This was the first time she had slept in the same bed with a boy, and it was a boy she had not known for long.
The young man only felt that she was strange. How could he have thought of her young girl's thoughts?
Shi Mengwan had lived with the young man for a few days before she realized that in the young man's heart, there was no difference between men and women.
Every day, he slept as he should and did as he should. He still took good care of Shi Mengwan. However, she slowly came to her senses. Perhaps in the young man's heart at that time, he only treated her as a little brother or a little sister.
He was very busy. She didn't even know why he was so busy.
What she could be sure of was that the young man was definitely not studying. She knew that other people's children should be in school at the age of fifteen. They were either in their first or second year of high school.
However, the young man wasn't in school. She had asked a few times, but Qiao Ze said he wasn't. She didn't ask anymore.
Her relationship with the young man had always been like this. She treated the young man as a big brother, and the young man treated her as a little sister.
If the young man hadn't bought the wrong bowl of glutinous rice balls that day and bought them home as glutinous rice balls, their relationship might have always been that of a big brother and a little sister, right?
Shi Mengwan woke up from her sleep and realized that she had slept until noon again.
She blinked her eyes and seemed to have spent some effort to realize where she was and what had happened.
She looked at the other side of the bed, but it was already empty. Zhan Haoze had already left. She sat up and the blanket slid down.
The marks on her body were no longer covered.
Shi Mengwan pursed her lips into a straight line. She bit her lip and thought of Zhan Haoze's frivolous behavior last night, and of her obedience without any resistance.
She suddenly felt as if there was a thorn in her heart.
She curled up her body and pulled up the blanket to cover herself. She looked at an unknown point, and her mood became gloomy bit by bit.
… …
Today was Su Qingsang's birthday. Su Qingsang's birthday was also very interesting. It was the day after Christmas.
In the past, Su Qingsang and Shi Mengwan would always be together. The two sisters would have a meal together on Su Qingsang's birthday. They would celebrate her birthday together.
Su Qingsang was an illegitimate daughter. In the past, no one in the Su family would remember her birthday, and no one would specially celebrate her birthday.
Every year, she would ask Su Qingsang to come to her apartment and cook a bowl of longevity noodles for her.
This year was different. Su Qingsang was married. Shi Mengwan believed that Huo Jinyao would definitely be prepared.
On Christmas Day, Shi Mengwan spent it with the employees of the studio. It was the end of the year. Although there were many things to do, she was not an unreasonable boss.
She treated the employees to a meal and accompanied them to karaoke, which was very rare. After a night of fooling around, she remembered the next day that she had an appointment with two clients that day.
Shi Mengwan had already ordered a cake, but the client was particularly difficult to deal with.
After Shi Mengwan sent the client away, she went to take the cake and rushed to the place where Su Qingsang was celebrating her birthday. Only then did she realize that something was wrong.
Su Qingsang had acknowledged her mother, and Xiang Caiping was also there. But this time, not only Xiang Caiping, but also Su Chenghui, was there for her birthday.
Shi Mengwan looked at Su Qingsang and then at Su Chenghui. The calmest person among them was Huo Jinyao, as if nothing had happened.
Shi Mengwan looked at him for a few minutes and realized that Su Chenghui probably felt guilty towards Xiang Caiping because Xiang Caiping didn't like him.
She looked at Su Chenghui and felt strange.
She had to admit that a woman's intuition was quite accurate.
In Shi Mengwan's heart, Su Chenghui was the representative of a scumbag. He had a wife, but also an old lover. Not only did he have an old lover, but he also had an illegitimate daughter?
In the past, he had ignored this illegitimate daughter for so many years. When his old lover came back, he started to care about this illegitimate daughter again?
No matter how she looked at it, it was strange. She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell why.
Seeing that Xiang Caiping was unhappy, she used her usual talent and laughed in front of her. Finally, Xiang Caiping had a smile on her face.
After the party, Shi Mengwan was a little worried about Su Qingsang. However, when she saw the protective look on Huo Jinyao's face, she felt relieved again.
A faint envy surged in her heart.
No matter how difficult Su Qingsang had been in the past 20 years, at least she was happy now. After all, Huo Jinyao was really good to her.
After saying goodbye to Su Qingsang, Shi Mengwan wasn't in a hurry to go home.
It had been more than a week since the last time Zhan Haoze appeared and left.
These days, she couldn't help but think of Zhan Haoze. Occasionally, she would ask herself in her heart, why couldn't she let him go?
She kept convincing herself to forget Zhan Haoze, the man who came and went as he pleased, but she found that she couldn't do it.
She stopped the car in front of the river embankment, got out, and walked along the river embankment.
It was winter in Lin City, and the weather was very cold. There weren't many people on the river embankment. Shi Mengwan tightened her coat, walked to a bench, and sat down.
Lin City had been developing well in the past few years. There were tall buildings on the other side of the river embankment, and the LED walls outside the buildings were playing all kinds of advertisements.
The New Year was coming, and the advertisements were very festive and red. However, Shi Mengwan didn't feel the atmosphere of the New Year at all.
She took out her phone and took a picture of the scenery on the other side of the river. She wanted to post it on WeChat, but in the end, she deleted it.
This was the way of the world. Happy things could be shared, but loneliness couldn't be shared with anyone.
She put away her phone and planned to go home, feeling a little cold from the cold wind. At that moment, another person sat down on the bench.
Shi Mengwan was stunned for a moment. She turned her face, and the light from the river embankment shone on the person's face. She looked at Zhan Haoze and was stunned for a moment.
She was looking at him, and he was looking at her.
She couldn't help but look behind her again. There was no one else. It was just him. She didn't know when he came, and how long had he been here?
"Zhan –"
Before she could finish her sentence, Zhan Haoze reached out and hugged her tightly.
Shi Mengwan's body froze there. She didn't know what to say. There seemed to be something wrong with Zhan Haoze today.
His hands held her tightly in his arms. The night wind blew, and Shi Mengwan should feel cold. But now that she was hugged by him, she didn't feel cold.
For a moment, time seemed to stand still. She didn't move, and he didn't move either.
Until she seemed to hear someone approaching and walking in this direction.
She tried to retreat from Zhan Haoze's arms, but he hugged her very tightly. She was helpless. When someone approached, she buried her face in his chest.
Inexplicably, she didn't want others to see her with Zhan Haoze.
The footsteps approached. The person might have just passed by here at night, but he quickly left.
She could hear the footsteps approaching, and they seemed to have stopped for a moment.
She didn't know that the people who passed by were two girls. When they saw Zhan Haoze's appearance, even though they didn't see it clearly, they were still stunned by Zhan Haoze.
One of the two girls even wanted to secretly take out her phone to take a picture of Zhan Haoze, but she was defeated by Zhan Haoze's gloomy gaze.
As his footsteps left, Zhan Haoze's hand loosened a little. Shi Mengwan looked up from his arms and met his deep eyes.
There were many emotions in those eyes. Shi Mengwan couldn't see them clearly for a moment. She wanted to see them clearly, but she found that Zhan Haoze's gaze made her sink into it.
Their eyes met, and her eyes were filled with his shadow. Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes slightly. He suddenly approached her, pressed a hand on the back of her head, and kissed her lips forcefully.
His lips were cold, and so was hers. In this weather, the temperature of their bodies wouldn't be too high.
However, after their slightly cold lips met, she began to feel hot. She blinked her eyes. Zhan Haoze's face in front of her made her a little intoxicated.
She couldn't help but reach out her hand to hold his face, as if she wanted to see his face more clearly.
There was a pair of hands on her eyes. Zhan Haoze covered her eyes and deepened the kiss.
His embrace slowly warmed her. Shi Mengwan, who had felt lonely before, decided not to think about anything for a moment. Just like that, she was hugged and kissed by him.
She couldn't see his face, and the feeling in the darkness was especially clear.
His kiss was so domineering, and all her feelings were focused on that one spot.
She even unconsciously responded to him. And that kind of response made him deepen the kiss.
Shi Mengwan was stunned for a moment. She realized what she had done and went back to pull Zhan Haoze's hand. However, he let go of her at this moment and hugged her tightly instead.
Her face was on his shoulder, so she couldn't see his expression. Her hands hung by her side. For a moment, she wanted to hug him back, but she forced herself to put them down.
He suddenly got up and before she could react, he brought her out of the river embankment.
Shi Mengwan could only follow his footsteps and reach the place where she parked her car.
Only now did she know that Zhan Haoze might have been following her just now.
She didn't get into the car. Shi Mengwan bit her lip and stood in front of the car and looked at him. "Zhan Haoze, what exactly do you want?"
She didn't call him Mr. Zhan anymore. At this time, that form of address was really too pretentious.
Zhan Haoze stood in front of the car and didn't speak. Shi Mengwan took a deep breath and told herself not to be angry, not to be angry.
"Zhan Haoze, can you tell me what exactly you want?"
She didn't want to be like this anymore. "It's not the first time. You can come and go as you please. You can even do it if you want. "
Her words were a little vulgar, but they were the truest thoughts in her heart at this moment.
"I'm not a prostitute. Zhan Haoze. "
She was a woman, an ordinary, ordinary woman.
She longed for love, but the premise was that the person who gave her love was her Dear Brother.
She was a stubborn person. Since she had decided on her Dear Brother, she wouldn't change her mind.
"If you weren't my Dear Brother. Please stay away from me. Okay? "
She couldn't play his game, and she couldn't be like him, disappearing after having sex with her. He didn't even leave a word.
But when he appeared again, he pretended as if nothing had happened and took advantage of her.
"Zhan Haoze. Please stay away from me. "Her tone was very serious and sincere.
She had long realized that she was always weak in front of Zhan Haoze.
She didn't like such weakness, and she wanted to change this.
"Goodbye."
After saying this, she took out the car keys from her coat.
When she wanted to get into the car, Zhan Haoze took her car keys and got into the driver's seat.
"Zhan Haoze, you …"
What did he mean?
"Get in the car."
Zhan Haoze's voice was indifferent. Shi Mengwan gritted her teeth and stood at the door of the car without moving.
"Get out of the car."
"Get in the car."
