Zhan Haoze shook his head and reached out to pull her into his arms.
Shi Mengwan was hugged by him and she didn't move for a moment. She wanted to look up at him, but the back of her head was held down by him.
The faint smell of mint on his body entered her nose. Shi Mengwan noticed that Zhan Haoze seemed to be different from before.
After a while, he finally let go of her hand. His big hand caressed her cheek and she just looked at him.
"Have you eaten?"
"No." Shi Mengwan looked in the direction of the kitchen. "I'm about to cook."
"Go."
Shi Mengwan glanced at him. She wasn't in a hurry to go to the kitchen. Instead, she looked at him.
"Are you really okay?"
Zhan Haoze shook his head. Shi Mengwan bit her lip. She knew that Zhan Haoze was always like this. When he was still her Dear Brother, he didn't like to tell her anything.
"I'll go cook."
While eating, Shi Mengwan kept looking at Zhan Haoze. She paused when she met his gaze.
"Zhan Haoze."
"Yes?"
"I don't know much about business. But if you have anything to say, you can tell me. I might not be able to help, but I can listen to you. "
Zhan Haoze was stunned for a moment. He looked at Shi Mengwan and nodded slightly. "Okay."
He said okay, but he might not really agree. Shi Mengwan knew. She didn't ask anymore.
Just when she thought Zhan Haoze wouldn't speak, Zhan Haoze spoke.
"I have to go out tomorrow."
Shi Mengwan didn't expect him to take the initiative to tell her about his whereabouts. Her hand holding the chopsticks stopped there and she stared at him blankly.
"I might be gone for more than half a month."
"That long?"
Shi Mengwan bit her lip. Her words were unconsciously tainted with disappointment.
Zhan Haoze didn't say anything and just continued eating.
Shi Mengwan knew his personality. He couldn't say anything nice, but she still hoped to see Zhan Haoze's reluctance to part with her.
However, he appeared so calm. Shi Mengwan didn't wait for Zhan Haoze to say that he was reluctant to part with her. However, at night, it was as if he had returned to the beginning of their relationship.
He took with all his might and plundered with all his might.
In the end, Shi Mengwan felt that her waist was about to break, but Zhan Haoze didn't stop until she was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.
When Shi Mengwan woke up in the morning, Zhan Haoze was already gone.
Looking at the empty house, she could not help but feel a sense of loss in her heart.
He picked up his phone to check the time. When he opened the webpage, he saw two words.
Wait for me.
There were no more words, only these two words. Shi Mengwan's disappointment suddenly disappeared.
Of course she would wait for him. She had waited for so long. He didn't mind waiting for another half a month.
No one knew where he was going or what he was going to do. Half a month? Come to think of it, that was really a long time.
Shi Mengwan's dilemma didn't last long. She received a call from Su Qingsang. Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao had decided to return to Rong City together.
Not only did they want to go back, but they also wanted to bring Xiang Caiping back with them.
The melancholy of parting made Shi Mengwan recover from the disappointment she felt just now.
Shi Mengwan and Su Qingsang were high school classmates and deskmates. Ever since the two of them met, they had gotten along very well in the past few years because they were very compatible.
Even though the two of them later chose completely different majors, their relationship had always been very good. The Medical University was also very close to her Z University.
Although going to Rong City was still in the country, it couldn't be compared to Lin City.
On the thirteenth of the year, Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao were at the airport, preparing to fly to Rong City. Shi Mengwan was reluctant to leave. She went to the airport early and talked to Su Qingsang for a long time.
Su Qingsang was also reluctant to leave her, and she didn't look very happy. She seemed to have something on her mind. Shi Mengwan didn't think too much about it, thinking that she was reluctant to leave Lin City.
In fact, she was also reluctant to leave. She didn't sleep well last night, and there were dark circles under her eyes.
When Su Qingsang noticed it, she could only remind her again not to focus on drawing next time and ignore her health. Shi Mengwan knew that she really cared about her and was touched.
After sending Su Qingsang away, Shi Mengwan thought for a while and put her energy back into work.
Since she planned to participate in the competition in France, she had to put some effort into it.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, Shi Mengwan thought of Zhan Haoze again. She still remembered that year when the two of them ate lantern dumplings together, and she also remembered that he bought the wine-fermented meatballs as lantern dumplings.
Not wanting her emotions to be trapped in her thoughts of Zhan Haoze, Shi Mengwan went home.
Mother Shi made the lantern dumplings and waited for her. When she ate the lantern dumplings, she took a photo and posted it on her WeChat moments. Then, she sent the photo to Zhan Haoze alone.
"The lantern dumplings are very sweet. I miss you very much."
She never received a reply from Zhan Haoze. At first, Shi Mengwan kept looking at her phone, but later, she simply put it down.
She focused on accompanying her parents and sister.
..
At the same time, in Qing City.
Zhan Haoze was sitting in the car, and beside him was his assistant, Tang Hua.
"President Zhan." Tang Hua placed a document in Zhan Haoze's hand. "I've already checked. The old man isn't feeling well and has already been hospitalized. He was sent in yesterday. It's the festival today. The old man dislikes those people for being noisy and chased them away. "
Zhan Haoze casually flipped through the information in front of him under the lights in the car.
"Are you sure there's no one?"
"There are bodyguards guarding the door and doctors on duty."
"Let's go." Zhan Haoze placed the document back in Tang Hua's hand. "Let's go meet the old man."
"Boss." Tang Hua even called him by his old name. "Isn't it too early? I heard from the doctor that he has already passed the critical stage. It seems that the old man can still live for a long time. We don't have to be in a hurry. "
"No." Zhan Haoze stared at the entrance of the hospital with a sinister gaze. "I don't want to wait anymore."
In the VIP ward of the hospital, the entire floor was very quiet.
The weather in Qing City had been pretty good these few days. The full moon hung high in the sky outside. In the ward, an old man who looked to be in his seventies was sleeping on the hospital bed with his eyes tightly closed.
The sudden sound in the room made him open his eyes. The environment he had been in for decades made him instantly alert. His hand reached under the pillow.
"If I were you, I wouldn't act rashly now."
The man deliberately lowered his voice, but it sounded very clear. The old man's hand paused. The lights in the ward were turned on at this moment, and he narrowed his eyes.
After adapting to the light, he looked at Zhan Haoze in front of him.
"It's you?"
"It seems that the old man knows me. Then I don't need to introduce myself. "
Zhan Haoze walked to the sofa opposite the bed and sat down. He folded his legs elegantly, and he looked relaxed and leisurely.
The old man stared at him for a long time and nodded gently. "I didn't expect you to come back after so many years."
"Yes. I've disappointed you that I didn't die outside. "
Zhan Haoze met the old man's sharp gaze and didn't dodge at all. The corners of his lips curled up with a hint of mockery. The old man coughed a few times, and his face was redder than before.
"You came back to take revenge?"
The old man narrowed his eyes. His old and shrewd eyes didn't miss any of Zhan Haoze's expressions.
The corners of Zhan Haoze's lips curled up slightly. He leaned back against the back of the sofa.
"Shouldn't I?"
The old man was silent and stared at Zhan Haoze. "What do you want to do?"
"You should ask me what I did."
The old man glared at Zhan Haoze, and a hint of wariness suddenly appeared in his eyes. "What did you do?"
Zhan Haoze didn't answer the old man's question. He got up and walked to the end of the bed. He pulled out the medical record and glanced at it.
"I think it's better for you not to know now."
Putting the medical record back, Zhan Haoze's expression was indifferent. "Otherwise, I'm afraid that if you know, your condition will worsen and you die of anger. That would be my sin. Don't you think so? Grandpa – "
"You –" The old man covered his chest because of his words. His other hand pointed at Zhan Haoze, and his face was livid.
Zhan Haoze looked at him without any fluctuation. He looked at this old man who could be considered to be in his twilight years, Zhan Kun.
Zhan Kun had difficulty breathing. He reached out his hand to get the medicine.
The moment he got the medicine bottle, Zhan Haoze gently pinched the bottle in his hand. He flipped the bottle over and raised it a little higher.
"Grandpa, why are you angry? You are the pillar of the Zhan family now. If you were to fall, the Zhan Family would be in a mess. "
Zhan Kun's expression became even uglier. He looked at Zhan Haoze as if he was looking at an Asura from hell.
He raised his hand, but he didn't manage to grab the medicine. He could only reach out and want to ring the bell for help.
Zhan Haoze looked at his movements and saw that his trembling fingers were about to touch the bell. However, he grabbed Zhan Kun's hand the moment he was about to touch it.
Zhan Kun panted even more violently. Zhan Haoze expressionlessly pressed his body back onto the bed. Before he could react, he poured out a pill from the bottle and put it into his mouth.
After feeding him the medicine, he seemed to have been stained with something dirty. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hands clean.
After taking the medicine, Zhan Kun's breathing finally stopped. However, his expression couldn't recover for a while.
Seeing Zhan Haoze's actions, his face turned from white to red again. His swollen face, which had almost turned purple, looked a little terrifying under the light.
"You … you …"
Zhan Kun pointed at Zhan Haoze and spent a lot of effort to finish his sentence.
"You, what exactly do you want to do?"
Zhan Haoze looked at the expression on Zhan Kun's face and suddenly smiled. He rarely smiled, and his smile at this moment undoubtedly carried deep malice.
He threw the handkerchief to the side, bent down, and looked at Zhan Kun. He looked at his old and turbid eyes, and said word by word extremely slowly.
"I'm here to get back what I deserve."
Zhan Kun glared at him, and his hands trembled even more.
Zhan Haoze didn't want to let it go just like that. He moved forward a little, and his voice was even softer than before.
"After you get it, destroy it."
Zhan Kun was completely out of breath this time. His eyes widened, and his breath was stuck there, almost suffocating.
The corners of Zhan Haoze's lips curled into a mocking smile. Before the other party completely fainted, he pressed the bell.
He stood up straight and looked at Zhan Kun's powerless hand. He left the ward without looking back.
When he left, he bumped into the doctors who had rushed over. The doctors were very concerned about the people in this special ward. When they saw Zhan Haoze suddenly appear, they didn't understand where this person came from.
Zhan Haoze acted as if he didn't see them and walked straight out.
The bodyguard who had been staying inside just now had already come back to his senses. He reached out to stop Zhan Haoze.
Zhan Haoze glanced at the two people coldly. The aura of the two bodyguards was actually taken away by him, and they took a step back at the same time.
After coming out of the hospital, Tang Hua was already waiting outside.
When he saw Zhan Haoze come out, he was the first to open the car door for him. When Zhan Haoze got into the car, he also got into the car.
"Boss?"
"Don't worry, I won't die."
Zhan Haoze looked at the inpatient building outside the car window. His eyes were a little cold. He reached out and took out the document from just now to look at it.
"Old fox."
"Boss?" Tang Hua looked at him. "Are we going back to the hotel next?"
Zhan Haoze was about to nod when his phone rang. He opened it and saw a message. On it was a bowl of glutinous rice balls.
Looking at the photo and the words, the corners of Zhan Haoze's lips unconsciously curled up a little. His finger swiped across the screen and was about to reply.
"Bang!" Their car was hit by someone from behind. Zhan Haoze's phone flew out and fell into the car.
He turned around abruptly, and Tang Hua turned around with him. The two of them saw that under the night sky, three cars were following behind them. They had already surrounded and surrounded their car.
"Boss?"
Tang Hua looked at Zhan Haoze worriedly. Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes. "Speed up."
The driver heard his words and stepped on the accelerator. They accelerated, and the car behind them also accelerated. At this moment, the car on the right was once again heading in their direction and slamming hard into them.
With a bang, the car that Zhan Haoze and the others were sitting in was knocked to the side, and then it slammed heavily into the side guardrail.
The car collided extremely violently, but the three cars behind it didn't intend to let it go just like that. The car behind them followed suit and crashed into them.
There was another "Peng" sound. This time, it was even louder than the previous two times.
… …
Shi Mengwan waited until midnight, but she didn't receive a reply from Zhan Haoze.
Her mood dropped again. She ate lantern dumplings with her parents, admired the moon, and chatted with her sister.
When she returned to her room, she couldn't fall asleep. She tossed and turned on the bed, feeling conflicted.
She couldn't help but take out her phone to take a look. There was still no reply from Zhan Haoze. She bit her lip and couldn't help but feel a little lonely.
She didn't know who said that it wasn't because she was lonely that she missed him, but because she missed him that she was lonely.
In the past, she thought that these words were pretentious, but now she realized that it was true. It wasn't pretentious.
She couldn't help but want to call Zhan Haoze, but she was worried that Zhan Haoze really had something to do. After thinking about it, she could only continue sending messages.
"Good night."
After sending these two words, Shi Mengwan waited for a while, but before she could receive a reply from Zhan Haoze, she fell asleep in a depressed and conflicted mood.
..
"Dear Brother." Shi Mengwan looked at Qiao Ze with an obvious smile in her eyes. "Are you serious?"
Today, the young man came home and told her that he had helped her solve the problem of going to school, so she could continue going to school. This news made her exceptionally happy.
"Yes." The young man nodded. Looking at the news he brought, Shi Mengwan's eyes lit up. She felt that this decision was right.
"That's really great." Shi Mengwan couldn't help but reach out and hug Qiao Ze. "Dear Brother, how did you do it?"
Qiao Ze was caught off guard by her and felt a little uncomfortable. His hand hung there and didn't move for a long time.
After Shi Mengwan finished hugging him, she realized that she was a little too excited. She took a step back and looked at the young man, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Um, Dear Brother, when can I go to school?"
"You can go tomorrow." Qiao Ze looked at Shi Mengwan. "It's the nearby Fifth High School. They have already agreed to accept you. You can go and register tomorrow. Then you can go to school. "
"Really?"
Shi Mengwan was very happy. "That's really great."
After being happy, she looked at the young man with concern. "Then, Dear Brother, what about you?"
"Me? What about me? "
"I'm going to school. What about you?"
"I won't go. It's the same for you. "
"Dear Brother?"
Shi Mengwan looked at the young man. Even if she didn't understand the key point, she could understand that with Qiao Ze's current ability, he must have done something for her to be able to go to school without a Lin City hukou.
She didn't understand what he had done. To her, everything about the young man was like a mystery.
He could always solve all the problems in the shortest time.
"Dear Brother, if you don't go to school, then I won't go either."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The young man glared at her. "Didn't you want to be a designer? Why? You don't want to anymore? "
Shi Mengwan bit her lip and looked at the young man. She kept shaking her head. "No, I want to be, but I want to go to school with you."
"Alright, you don't have to worry about my matters."
The young man looked at her with a strong expression that couldn't be refused. "Don't worry about me for now. I've asked the teacher. She said that you haven't been to school for the past six months and might not be able to keep up. Before school starts, you have to buy a semester's worth of books to read first. "
"Dear Brother …"
"Let's go. I'll take you to buy books. "
Shi Mengwan couldn't win against Qiao Ze, so she could only compromise. She didn't quite understand why the young man didn't go to school himself.
She vaguely knew why, but at that time, she was still young, so she couldn't understand the answer.
..
Shi Mengwan waited for a few days, but Zhan Haoze didn't appear.
Another half a month passed, and it was already the first month of the lunar calendar. In the middle of the second month of the lunar calendar, the temperature in Lin City began to rise.
At first, Shi Mengwan would try to call Zhan Haoze, but after she realized that she couldn't get through to his phone, she stopped calling him.
Every day before she went to bed, she would call Zhan Haoze. If she couldn't get through, she would send another message.
If no one replied, she would go back to sleep.
At the same time as the weather warmed up, Shi Mengwan's work also passed the preliminary round of the French fashion design competition. The other party sent an invitation letter and asked Shi Mengwan to prepare to go to France to participate in the rest of the competition.
This good news more or less made Shi Mengwan feel a little better. But it only lasted for less than half a day.
