Shi Mengwan was wearing the new clothes Qiao Ze had bought for her and carrying the new school bag Qiao Ze had bought for her.
The book inside was also bought by Qiao Ze. The school bag was very heavy, not only for this semester, but also for the previous semester.
Fortunately, Shi Mengwan's grades had always been good. Although she didn't study last semester, she believed that she would work hard to catch up.
She was thinking about why the teacher called her today and didn't give her any homework. Instead, he asked her to read through the books that she had read before.
If there was anything she didn't understand, she could look for her teacher.
She was in a good mood and quickened her pace. After living in this bungalow for more than half a year, she was no longer as careless as when she first came here.
Turn right, turn left. Just three more alleys and they would reach home.
But before he got there, he heard the sounds of fighting. This area was really chaotic.
Shi Mengwan couldn't help but quicken her steps. She wanted to avoid it, but she heard a familiar voice.
"What? Haven't you learned your lesson from last time? "
The youth's voice had already passed the stage of puberty. His voice had already begun to become clear and bright, and it was the voice she heard every day.
She widened her eyes and couldn't help but stop in her tracks.
She quietly walked over and hid behind the corner of the wall. She silently poked her head out.
Beside the young man stood a few boys that she did not recognize. They were all about the same age as him. There were a few people lying on the ground.
The leader's face was covered in blood, and the young man's foot was stepping on the man's chest.
"What if you haven't learned it? I'll say it again. This place, as well as the East Pier, are all my territory. The next time you cross the border, I won't be polite anymore. "
The young man was already more than 1.8 meters tall, and he was thin. Most of the time, although he was quiet in front of her, he was gentle.
Shi Mengwan had never seen this youth before. Her heart was beating a little fast.
The person he was stepping on wanted to get up. "Stinking brat, I'm telling you, don't be arrogant. Brother Liang won't let you off."
"Heh." The youth laughed. It was a very arrogant laugh. He began to exert force on his leg. "Brother Liang won't let me off, right? Then let him try. Not to mention Brother Liang, even if he had the ability to call Big Boss Hui over, I wouldn't be afraid of him. Understand? "
As he spoke, his foot was pressed against the man's chin. That person's neck was stepped on, and his face was filled with pain. His face, which had already been beaten into a pig's head, looked even scarier now.
"You, you …"
The man started to lose his breath, but the young man had no intention of letting go. Not only did he not, but he also stepped even harder. The man's eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets, and he was about to stop breathing.
Shi Mengwan was shocked and couldn't help but gasp.
That voice was very soft, but it moved Qiao Ze. The young man's gaze shifted over.
Shi Mengwan quickly retracted her body, but she was still a step too late and was seen by the youth.
The young man's expression was rather ugly. He retracted his leg, caught his breath, and coughed violently. He turned to look at the few people following him and gave them a look.
Those people began to deal with the aftermath. The people lying on the ground were quickly dragged away by them.
The young man's expression was solemn as he clenched his fists at his sides. He was only stunned for a few seconds before he reacted.
His slender legs walked step by step in Shi Mengwan's direction.
Shi Mengwan's body was trembling. In the past half a year that she had been with the young man, other than occasionally coming back with some injuries, the young man had rarely been injured in the past few days.
She knew that he would fight outside, but she had never seen the young man treat others like this.
It turned out that the young man wasn't uninjured. Instead, had he changed from a victim to a perpetrator?
Shi Mengwan didn't dare to think about it. Her body was trembling. She didn't know what she was afraid of. However, the ruthlessness on the young man's face just now really scared her.
A pair of long legs suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. She looked up along the legs and saw the young man's expressionless face. Her body actually went limp and she sat on the ground just like that.
The young man wasn't in a hurry to reach out to help her up. He was already sixteen years old. He was tall and thin, and one could already see the shadow of an adult on his body.
He stared at her face from above, his lips opening and closing.
"You saw it."
Shi Mengwan instinctively wanted to shake her head, but her body was cold and she couldn't say a word. However, there was a hint of fear in her eyes as she looked at him.
The young man looked at her and reached out his hand to her. Shi Mengwan's body trembled. Thinking about the scene just now, she instinctively retreated, wanting to avoid the young man's hand.
Qiao Ze narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of danger in them.
He had asked someone to think of a way to get Shi Mengwan a place to go to school because he didn't want her to stay at home every day, and he didn't want her to see him like this today.
However, he didn't expect her to still see it.
Looking at Shi Mengwan's avoiding gaze, he forcefully reached out his hand and took away Shi Mengwan's school bag. He carried it on his shoulder.
Before she could react to what he was going to do, he bent down and picked her up.
Shi Mengwan's body trembled even more, but she was familiar with the young man's embrace.
She looked at the young man's handsome side profile and swallowed her saliva. The young man didn't seem to notice that something was wrong with her. He just carried her back to the bungalow where they were.
After Shi Mengwan entered the door, her legs were still a little weak. The young man placed her on the sofa. Almost as soon as she was put down by him, she shrunk to the other side of the sofa.
The young man suddenly moved his face closer. His big hand supported her side as he stared at her face.
"Are you afraid of me?"
Shi Mengwan looked at the young man's familiar face. These days, they slept together every night. Sometimes, when she was cold, she would wake up to find herself in the young man's arms.
The environment of the bungalow was bad, but she had never been cold. She had never been hungry.
She suddenly shook her head. Her movements were very gentle but firm.
Before the young man could take his hand away, Shi Mengwan bit her lip and said timidly, "You, did you want to kill him just now?"
He didn't expect her to ask such a question. The young man was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head. "No."
Shi Mengwan seemed to be relieved. "You, don't kill anyone, okay?"
The young man looked into her eyes and caressed her face with his slender and well-defined hands.
"Okay. I won't kill anyone. "
Shi Mengwan heaved a sigh of relief. The young man's hands were a little cold. The weather hadn't turned warm in this season. She looked at him with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
"Killing is against the law."
She said this in a very low voice. The young man seemed to want to laugh, but he held it in. "Yes. Killing is against the law. Wanwan really knows a lot. "
He was treating her like a child. Shi Mengwan gritted her teeth and suddenly raised her voice.
"Don't care. If you kill someone, you'll go to prison. I won't go to see you when the time comes. "
She said it resolutely, but the expression in her eyes was completely different.
The young man looked at her duplicitous look and raised his eyebrows.
"Oh? If I go to prison, you won't come to see me? "
"Of course." Shi Mengwan nodded and emphasized, "If you go to prison, I'll go home and let you be alone in the future."
Her face was young and childish. The young man suddenly reached out and hugged her in his arms. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
His embrace made Shi Mengwan relax. She wasn't as afraid as before, and she was no longer trembling.
"Dear Brother. Don't do anything dangerous, okay? "
The young man didn't answer her question. He just tightened his arms. Shi Mengwan had a little difficulty breathing, but she still had to say, "If you do something dangerous, what will I do?"
She reached out to push him away and moved away from his arms a little. "Dear Brother, if you're really locked up, or if something else happens, what will I do?"
After such a long time, she had run away from home. But she had never felt lonely because of him. His care and love for her made her forget the loneliness of being alone.
More importantly, she realized that her Dear Brother was different in her heart.
"Dear Brother, I don't want anything to happen to you, and I don't want to be separated from you, so you have to take care of yourself, okay?"
The young man looked into her eyes. Her lips opened and closed as she said words that she was worried about him. Today, she saw his dark side, but she wasn't afraid, nor did she run away.
He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. Something was surging in his heart.
He hugged her tightly again and buried his face in the crook of her neck. His voice was very soft as he smelled the faint fragrance of a young girl on her body.
"Okay, I promise you. I'll take care of myself and won't be separated from you. "
"Really?"
"Really."
Shi Mengwan raised her head and looked into the young man's eyes. Her heart had already calmed down. She bit her lip. "Dear Brother, we'll always be together, right?"
"Yes." The young man nodded and looked into Shi Mengwan's eyes with a focused expression. "We'll always be together."
He would be with her, protect her, and not let anyone hurt her.
"Dear Brother." Shi Mengwan reached out and hugged the young man's waist. No matter how her Dear Brother treated others, as long as they could be like this forever, it would be fine.
She hugged him very tightly until she saw the trace of blood on the young man's sleeve.
She was shocked and forced herself not to look and not to care. She stepped back. She gestured for him to take a shower.
She washed his clothes for him, so the blood stain was naturally washed away.
However, even though Shi Mengwan could wash away the blood stain, it didn't mean that she could forget the young man's ruthless expression. That night, she inevitably had nightmares.
She dreamed that the young man was holding a knife in his hand and was constantly slashing at a person whose face couldn't be seen clearly. She screamed with all her might, trying to make the young man stop.
When the young man saw her coming, he finally stopped. The young man walked towards her and told her not to be afraid. Shi Mengwan kept shaking her head. Looking at the police who rushed over, she wanted to tell the young man to leave quickly, but she couldn't say anything.
She could only watch helplessly as the police took the young man away. No matter how much she cried, it was useless.
At this moment, the scene in the dream changed. The young man's face became Zhan Haoze. When she saw Zhan Haoze again, it was through the iron window.
Shi Mengwan was frightened. She wanted to pull his hand, but his figure was getting further and further away. She woke up from her dream screaming, "Dear Brother, Dear Brother …"
The scene in the dream began to enlarge, and that feeling made her fall into deep despair.
She opened her eyes and was shocked by the figure at the head of the bed. When she saw clearly, she realized that the person sitting there was Zhan Haoze.
"Zhan Haoze?" She wasn't fully awake yet, nor had she recovered from the dream. She suddenly saw him, and she still felt like she was in a dream.
"Yes."
In the next second, Shi Mengwan suddenly sat up and wrapped her arms around Zhan Haoze's neck. She hugged him tightly.
"Dear Brother, Dear Brother." When she thought of the figure in the iron window in her dream, she felt a strong sense of insecurity.
She hugged him very tightly and pressed her face against his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
Zhan Haoze let her hug him and didn't move. Shi Mengwan suddenly raised her head and kissed his lips.
Her kiss was a little urgent and a little flustered. She was also a little scared.
She didn't know what her Dear Brother had experienced all these years. What made him, a street thug, suddenly become a business elite?
She also didn't know how he started the company and what hardships he had experienced.
But she thought that he should be safe now, right? It shouldn't be like what she thought in her dream, right?
She couldn't help but think of the last time they met, he seemed to be fighting with someone again. That made the feeling of insecurity even more obvious.
"Dear Brother."
She kissed his lips haphazardly. All her experience came from him.
In this aspect, she was undoubtedly clumsy. But this clumsiness made Zhan Haoze lose control.
Her hands tugged at his clothes. She was a little anxious. She was so anxious that she couldn't unbuckle her belt even after trying a few times.
Her face was red, but at this moment, Zhan Haoze turned the tables and pressed her down on the bed.
It was a dark night, and the weather outside was a little gloomy. Spring had arrived, and there was a lot of rain.
It was accompanied by the occasional sound of spring thunder.
Soon, it started to rain outside. The sound of the thunderstorm covered up the sound of the collision in the room. Those emotions that were out of control also existed on such a thunderstorm night.
..
When Shi Mengwan woke up in the morning, she thought she had a dream.
She dreamed that Zhan Haoze had returned and that he was fine. She dreamed that they were the same as before. She enjoyed the pleasure of being intimate.
She opened her eyes, and the feeling of exhaustion and weakness in her body suddenly woke her up.
It wasn't a dream. Was Zhan Haoze really back? She sat up abruptly, ignoring the marks on her body and the discomfort on her body.
There was no one in the room. She casually put on her clothes and went outside.
Zhan Haoze had just closed the door. On the dining table beside him was breakfast that had just been delivered.
"You're awake?"
Shi Mengwan blinked her eyes. Only then did she confirm that she was really not dreaming. She went forward and hugged Zhan Haoze again.
She rubbed her face against his chest and smelled the mint scent on his body. Her heart slowly relaxed and she finally wasn't so nervous anymore.
She looked up at him and realized that he seemed to have lost a little weight.
She didn't take a closer look last night, but now that it was daytime, she took a closer look and realized that Zhan Haoze had lost a lot of weight. Not only had he lost weight, but he also looked a little haggard.
"You –" She had many questions to ask, but in the end, she could only hug him again. Thinking of his appearance, she sniffed and her eyes inexplicably felt a little hot.
Zhan Haoze let her hug him without moving. After a while, he patted her back.
"Let's eat."
Shi Mengwan nodded and walked to the dining table to sit down. Today wasn't the weekend, and she still had to go to work.
She looked up at Zhan Haoze. "You're back from your business trip? Can you rest for the next few days? "
"Yes."
Shi Mengwan nodded and looked at him again. "Will you come back for dinner tonight?"
Zhan Haoze looked at her. He still had a lot of things to do. He had to leave again after a few days, but —
"Okay."
She wanted to refuse, but the words that came out of her mouth became affirmative. Shi Mengwan smiled and seemed to be relieved.
After dinner, Shi Mengwan went to the company. She had spent a few days to draw the work that she was going to compete in. She had named it Blue Mystery.
To her, Zhan Haoze was that mystery. But she wasn't in a hurry. She had the patience to slowly solve this mystery.
..
Zhan Haoze got into the car, and Tang Hua looked at him worriedly.
"Boss, are you okay?"
Zhan Haoze shook his head. The car accident had caused Zhan Haoze to suffer some minor injuries. However, he refused to rest for long. Instead, after he finished his matters in Qing City, he came here.
He roughly knew that the person upstairs was his boss's favorite. But —
"Boss, I'm afraid we'll have a lot of things to do in the future. Moreover, the situation is getting more and more chaotic. It's not appropriate for you to be like this now. "
Tang Hua had followed Zhan Haoze for a long time. In the past ten years, what hadn't they experienced?
But in the past, those undercurrents were still calm on the surface, but now it was different. Zhan Haoze's appearance in Qing City was equivalent to turning everything over to the surface.
Although that car accident didn't cause much damage, it was definitely a warning.
Zhan Kun wasn't dead yet, and those people below weren't honest. Not to mention that there were countless people who didn't like Zhan Haoze and wanted to get rid of him.
"Boss, why don't you stay away from Miss Shi for now?" With their current abilities, even if they could protect Shi Mengwan, it wouldn't be good for such a big weakness to be known by others.
Zhan Haoze leaned against the back of the chair with his eyes half-closed. His face was gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking.
He didn't say anything, so Tang Hua couldn't say much. The car drove towards the Chen Corporation's building. Just as they were about to reach the Chen Corporation's building, Zhan Haoze finally spoke.
"From tomorrow onwards, I'll move back to the Chen family."
"Boss? You've been living in the Chen family all this time. Do you think those people don't know? "The problem now wasn't where he lived, but …
He didn't finish his sentence, but Zhan Haoze understood what he meant. His face was gloomy, and his expression looked quite solemn.
"Boss? Just listen to me. " “
Tang Hua had told him long ago, but Zhan Haoze had always refused. Was he still hesitating at this time?
"Stop talking."
"Boss, what will happen if you get engaged to Miss Chen? It's not like you're getting married. This period of time is just right to divert their attention. It's good for you and Sister-in-law Shi. "
Zhan Haoze pursed his lips into a straight line, and his gaze kept looking out of the window. Seeing this, Tang Hua called out again.
