To My Dear Mr. Huo

It's quiet inside. Zhan Haoze and her eyes met, and they both saw their own reflections in each other's eyes.

Shi Mengwan looked pale and looked haggard. Lips slightly swollen. A pair of eyes stared at him with reluctance, anger, and entanglement, full of pain.

Zhan Haoze missed her sight slightly and his silence seemed to Shi Mengwan to mean that he was unwilling to let her go.

She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and grabbed the front of his clothes.

"Tell me. Zhan Haoze, what are you going to do before you let me go?"

It had only been a few days, and she felt physically and mentally exhausted. She was always weak in front of him, and she was never strong-willed.

She hated herself like this, but couldn't control it. As long as she meets him, as long as she encounters something related to him, she will become unlike herself.

It was obvious that she had made up her mind to get rid of it. Obviously she thought she had made it clear to him, but what does it mean for him to be like this now?

There was still a wound on her lip, which he had bitten a few days ago.

He lost control and forgot to control his strength, which also caused her injury to the point where she is still recovering.

He raised his hand and gently touched her lips. His movement was very light, but Shi Mengwan knocked his hand off.

"Zhan Haoze, answer me. What do you want to do before you let me go? Tell me, tell me."

She was really angry, and she kept beating his chest regardless of her overstretched body.

In his opinion, that kind of force was almost as painless as a cat's paw scratching an itch.

Before Shi Mengwan could react, he picked her up and put her on the bed.

"Zhan Haoze..."

Shi Mengwan's voice was almost mute, and she had no more strength to resist Zhan Haoze.

She was so angry that she simply closed her eyes and let him go. Whatever he wants to do, if he doesn't want to let her go, what can she do?

Zhan Haoze found some clothes, picked her up and put them on for her. Then he carried her to the bathroom.

Her feet indeed had no strength at all. Zhan Haoze supported her and let her lean on his chest while he squeezed out the toothpaste for her.

Putting the toothbrush in her hand, Shi Mengwan looked at Zhan Haoze in the mirror. She took the toothbrush and brushed her teeth almost out of anger.

Her strength was a bit heavy and her gums were bleeding.

Zhan Haoze frowned and gently grabbed her hand. Shi Mengwan stopped for a moment. She looked at Zhan Haoze's face in the mirror, and he was also looking at her.

In the end, she was defeated. She used a little less force on her hands, brushed them clean randomly, and rinsed her mouth.

She wanted to speak, but Zhan Haoze picked her up again, this time carrying her to the restaurant outside.

There were many small plates on the dining table, and the table was filled to the brim.

There are barbecued pork buns, egg tarts, shrimp dumplings, dry steamed siomai, beef louvers, beef balls, salt and pepper duck chin, steamed chicken feet with black bean sauce, spring rolls, fried dough sticks, and steamed buns.

There are two cups of soy milk and two bowls of shrimp porridge on the side.

"..." Shi Mengwan looked at Zhan Haoze. He put her down and pushed a bowl of shrimp porridge in front of her.

"You-" Shi Mengwan didn't know what to say. She saw the markings on the butterflies. This was a very famous Hong Kong-style tea restaurant nearby.

That store's business is very good, and because the business is so good, it never delivers takeout.

And with so much, don't tell her that Zhan Haoze brought it back by himself.

"Have a meal."

Zhan Haoze's voice was faint, and Shi Mengwan had no chance to speak. She looked at the bowl of steaming porridge without moving for a long time.

"You want me to feed you?"

Zhan Haoze's narrow eyes raised slightly, and Shi Mengwan shrank her neck. Some discordant scenes from the past few days came to mind.

She didn't dare let him feed her.

Picking up the bowl of porridge, she found that such a simple action made her hands a little sore.

She couldn't help but glare at Zhan Haoze again. He looked away before he noticed.

The porridge tastes good. She had been to this tea restaurant with Su Qingsang before. At that time, she thought it would be great if the other party was willing to deliver takeout every day, so that she could order the takeout early and eat it before going to work without queuing.

But the people inside said that because the business was so good, even if there was takeout, they couldn't deliver it, so they didn't have it.

Looking at the breakfast on this table now, I don't know how Zhan Haoze did it.

She doesn't have much of an appetite, but she hasn't been eating well these past few days. For three days in a row, everything we ate was takeout.

It just so happens that it’s Chinese New Year and many stores are closed for the holidays. Not much choice at all. Zhan Haoze was tossing her hard again, and she was really hungry.

Shi Mengwan, who ate more than usual, put down the bowl and looked at Zhan Haoze in front of her.

Now, she couldn't understand him more and more.

Zhan Haoze didn't eat slowly, but he didn't look rude. He took big bites but chewed slowly. His manners could even be called elegant.

She thought of what Xiao Qi said before. He said that Zhan Haoze has founded several companies in recent years and has done great things.

She had always known that he was an ambitious and ambitious man.

But his achievements today still made her feel a little surprised and a little shocked. If you think about it carefully, it seems normal.

She remembered him back then, with nothing. But he can always conjure up something at critical moments.

For example, money, food. For example, the expenses required by the two of them.

She remembered that time she changed his clothes, but his coat was too thick and she couldn't get rid of it. In the end, the only option was to sew the sleeves shorter so that she could wear it as a thick coat.

But because it was too thick, she accidentally pricked her hand.

Qiao Ze, who didn't notice what she was doing at first, snatched the clothes from her hand and the needle and thread in the next second.

The young man put her index finger into his mouth, and Shi Mengwan looked at his handsome face, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I'm all right."

She said, but the boy did not let her go. His eyes were intense, and there seemed to be fire in them.

It's a pity that Shi Mengwan was too young at the time and she didn't understand it at all.

The young man let her go, but wouldn't let her touch the needle and thread again.

Shi Mengwan thought how could she not touch it? Their life is not easy now. Although his clothes have been changed, they are not completely suitable for her to wear, and are even a bit ugly.

But isn’t it enough to keep out the cold? Her thoughts at the time were that simple. She thought that she could wait until Qiao Ze left home and continue while he was away. The boy brought back two brand new sets of clothes the next day.

The boy not only brought her clothes, but also matching shoes and hair accessories. There are three or four sets of them both inside and outside.

Although it was not a famous brand, she was not ignorant at that time. She knew that these clothes were not cheap.

"Where did it come from?"

The young man held her hand and told her, "Wanwan, believe me, I won't let you suffer."

Shi Mengwan didn't know it was a promise, so she blinked her eyes. Naturally, she believed what the young man said.

"Big brother……"

"Wanwan, as long as you follow me, I will never let you suffer."

Give him time and he will definitely let her live a good life. That's a boy's promise. Although young and immature, he is extremely solemn.

The chair next to Shi Mengwan was pulled away. She was startled, and when she regained consciousness, she found that Zhan Haoze had already finished eating.

So many, he actually solved them all.

She was picked up by him again and placed on his lap.

"What were you thinking about just now?" he asked.

Shi Mengwan bit her lip, unable to answer Zhan Haoze's question.

Zhan Haoze turned her body around and looked at her. His eyes were dark, and Shi Mengwan couldn't help but think of that boy again.

They also have such eyes, and such a serious and solemn expression. What he did was completely opposite to Zhan Haoze.

Zhan Haoze pinched her chin again, and his eyebrows knitted together tightly. He seemed very dissatisfied with the fact that she was always distracted when he was around him.

Shi Mengwan didn't grab his hand this time, she even bravely raised her head to look at him.

"Zhan Haoze, I'm thinking of you."

She put her hand on his cheek and stared at his face.

"I miss you."

Seeing his slightly frowning eyebrows, she stretched out her hand and smoothed it gently: "I'm thinking, why do you want me? I'm thinking, what do you mean? I'm thinking, what should I do, and you will Will you let me go."

Meeting Zhan Haoze's eyes that became more profound, she gently raised the corners of her lips: "Zhan Haoze. Can you tell me?"

She had said it several times today, but he never gave him an answer.

Zhan Haoze released his hand on her chin and pulled her hand away. But he didn't answer her question.

"Zhan Haoze." Shi Mengwan held his face again. This time, her eyes were very serious.

"In your mind, am I a skilled woman?"

Zhan Haoze's face suddenly turned very ugly: "Shi Mengwan."

"If you didn't treat me like a skilled woman, then why did you do this to me?"

Shi Mengwan really couldn't understand that the big brother she liked, admired, and always thought about should not be like this.

She looked at him steadily, stubbornly demanding an answer.

Although the home clothes she wore were thick, they had a round neck design. She held his face like this and moved her hands forward, so that her collar could be clearly seen in front of him.

The bruises and purples on it are all traces left by him. It also reminded him of how crazy things had been between them these past few days. Zhan Haoze felt that his body was a little stiff, but he also knew that the other party could not bear more, so he looked away again.

"Zhan Haoze."

He wanted to avoid it, but Shi Mengwan didn't give him a chance to avoid it.

"Xiao Qi is a blind date arranged by my parents. I am twenty-six this year. Maybe I am not too old among the unmarried girls in Lin City. But in our town, many girls of the same age as me are already married and have children. "

She is not a person who follows the crowd, nor is she someone who follows what others say. She said so much today because that person was Zhan Haoze.

"What other people's lives are like has nothing to do with me. But I have to worry about what my parents think."

"If you don't think of me as a skilled maiden, can I take it that you also have feelings for me? At least, you like me a little bit and care about me a little bit, right?"

As long as he has feelings for her, she can wait and persist.

Zhan Haoze's face was turned towards her again and he looked into her eyes. Her eyes were intense, and the light inside them made the whole room pale.

Compared with him, she is undoubtedly brave, at least emotionally she is much braver than him.

The air was silent, and Zhan Haoze was silent.

Shi Mengwan's eyes darkened and she withdrew her hand.

"Zhan Haoze. Let's go." No matter how much she loves, she will never lower herself to this level without dignity and reason.

She stepped back a little, her eyes cold. She was about to get up and leave, but Zhan Haoze stretched out his hand to hug her before she left.

He held her tightly and held her tightly.

"Zhan Haoze." Shi Mengwan heard his heartbeat. Her voice was hoarse, but the words she spoke were quite clear: "Don't do this."

Zhan Haoze didn't let go. He clasped her waist tightly and pressed his chin against the hollow of her neck. His body was a little stiff, as if he was enduring.

"Zhan Haoze, let me go."

She didn't struggle, she had no strength now. In three days, almost all her energy was consumed.

"Shi Mengwan."

The man finally spoke, his voice a little gravelly. He called her name. Pressing her face tightly against his chest. She could even hear the vibrations in his chest when he spoke.

"give me sometime."

Shi Mengwan raised her eyes to look at him. His dark eyes were also looking at her at this moment. She couldn't understand the emotions inside.

"Give you time? What time? Time to marry me?" Shi Mengwan's tone was a bit sarcastic. She did not believe Zhan Haoze's words.

Zhan Haoze stared at her face and nodded. Shi Mengwan looked at him and couldn't tell what she was feeling.

"Zhan Haoze——"

"Give me time." Zhan Haoze said again.

Shi Mengwan lowered her eyes and heard the sound of her own heartbeat. That is the deepest desire in the heart.

She really wants to marry her eldest brother and stay with him for the rest of her life. The expectations deep in her heart prevented her from even thinking about more practical issues.

"Are you serious?"

If you don't like it, you won't be so concerned about gains and losses. But if you like it and fall in love, you have no choice but to act according to your own subjective will.

Zhan Haoze looked at her and nodded. Shi Mengwan was in a very excited mood, but the more excited she became, the calmer she acted at this time.

She just stared at Zhan Haoze, and he looked at her too. Shi Mengwan blinked and tried to calm down.

"how long?"

Seeing that Zhan Haoze didn't speak, he just frowned slightly, as if he was embarrassed. Shi Mengwan smiled bitterly: "You can't possibly make me wait forever, can you?"

She doesn't believe in the idea that women's youth is limited, but she has her own problems now.

It was impossible for her to ignore Grandma Shi's two-year period. Looking at grandma's body, she can live to be a hundred years old. If she doesn't bring a man back then, what will happen to grandma?

"Zhan Haoze, tell me, how long do you want me to wait for you?"

Silent, Zhan Haoze's thin lips pursed into a straight line, seemingly embarrassed.

Shi Mengwan felt that the conversation could go on. She thought she had done everything a girl could do. What else did Zhan Haoze want?

"Zhan Haoze." She stood up from his arms forcefully and took a big step back.

Her feet were still a little soft, and such a simple movement made her feel uncomfortable in a place she couldn't tell others about.

She gritted her teeth and forced herself to ignore the feeling of her body: "Let's go."

Zhan Haoze held her hand before she wanted to go back to the room: "It won't be long."

Not long?

Shi Mengwan wanted to ask him, if not how long, how long? But she couldn't ask. She looked at Zhan Haoze, his eyes were like a deep spring. She fell deeply into it.

She was pulled into his arms again, and he lowered his head and kissed her gently.

Not as rude as he was these days, nor as domineering as before.

Kissing her softly, little by little, he traced the shape of her lips carefully.

The strong Zhan Haoze would make Shi Mengwan unable to refuse, but such a gentle Zhan Haoze made Shi Mengwan confused.

She slowly closed her eyes and let herself get lost in his kiss.

He finally pulled away some as she nearly choked. Pressing his forehead against hers, he was breathing heavily, a little panting.

"give me sometime."

With a slightly hoarse voice, he said those few words very softly.

Shi Mengwan looked into his eyes and finally nodded weakly.

The body was picked up by him again, but instead of going to the room, he went to the living room.

"Watching a movie?"

Zhan Haoze asked her, and Shi Mengwan blinked at him. Although she didn't understand what he meant, she still nodded.

She got up and picked out a movie called "Life is Beautiful". Shi Mengwan had seen this movie before, but it had been so long that she had forgotten many of the plots.

The pace of the movie was very slow, and she slowly recalled the plot along with the movie.

Her eyes were a little red, and when she saw Guido dying under the gun's muzzle with ridiculous steps, Shi Mengwan's eyes started to water.

There was a tissue in front of her eyes, she took it and wiped away her tears.

She sniffed and found Zhan Haoze staring at her. She suddenly didn't want him to see her like this.

She turned her face away and allowed herself to continue focusing on the plot. The movie ended quickly, but she still didn't get over the situation emotionally.

Zhan Haoze turned his body away and raised his hand, seemingly unable to understand the changes in her emotions.

"Why are you crying?"

"Don't you feel touched?"

Zhan Haoze looked at her expressionlessly and didn't speak. It didn't need to be said that he probably didn't feel anything at all.

"If you're not moved, why did you say you wanted to watch the movie?"

Zhan Haoze turned his eyes away and picked up the remote control to watch a different movie. Shi Mengwan seemed to have some reaction.

"You, you didn't say you wanted to go to the movie because Xiao Qi asked me to go to the movie yesterday, right?"

Zhan Haoze turned around and glared at her, then quickly looked at the screen again.

But Shi Mengwan clearly saw the person, and his earlobes slowly turned red.

This realization stunned her for a moment, and she bit her lip. For a moment, she thought there was something wrong with her eyes.

"Are you jealous of Xiao Qi?"

Shi Mengwan asked this question subconsciously. The next second, she saw Zhan Haoze's earlobes turning even redder.

"..."

At this moment, Zhan Haoze turned his face and glared at her, his eyes looking very fierce.

Shi Mengwan seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, and she wanted to say something else. Zhan Haoze kissed her lips.

A rougher kiss than before, not giving her a chance to speak.

Shi Mengwan blinked, her bright eyes now filled with a faint smile. Extremely shiny, like stars in the sky.

Zhan Haoze raised his hand to cover her eyes and deepened the kiss.

Little by little, his lips plundered and occupied her breath. His hands also became dishonest.

Shi Mengwan wanted to get rid of his hand, but he pushed her down on the sofa and covered her eyes with the silk scarf she had used before.

When the eyes cannot see, the senses become particularly keen.

The weather was still cold, so Shi Mengwan bit her lip: "Don't be here."

The man seemed to want to punish her for teasing her just now. Not only did he not let go of her, but he also strengthened his determination to stay here.

She couldn't resist, so she could only dance with him.

………………

At night, Shi Mengwan, who was sleeping on the bed, righteously rejected Zhan Haoze and refused to let him continue.

She has really been tortured too much by him in the past few days. If he continues to torture her, her waist will be broken.

Zhan Haoze stared at her face for a long time, and finally stopped.

He held her waist and rested his chin on the top of her hair. The lights in the room had been turned off, leaving only a bedside lamp.

Shi Mengwan's back was to Zhan Haoze. When she saw the small lamp, her voice was very soft.

"Zhan Haoze."

"..."

He didn't respond, but Shi Mengwan knew that he was not asleep.

"Don't you even want to go to work?"

It’s already the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and normally, many companies have already started working.

"Need not."

His voice sounded a bit gravelly because he was lying down, but it was particularly touching.

"You -" Shi Mengwan thought of what Xiao Qi said: "Are you running a company now?"

"kindness."

"It's good." She still remembered the boy who had nothing more than ten years ago. At that time, he said that he must make a lot of money and give her a good life.

“Is your company profitable?”

"kindness."

"That's good."

Shi Mengwan nodded gently, and he turned her body around so that she faced him.

She looked up at him: "Can you tell me about you?"

She wanted to know more about him, such as where he was during these years and what else he had done besides starting a company.

Doesn’t he have no home, no parents and relatives? So how did he go to university?

She had many questions to ask, but Zhan Haoze pressed her face against his chest: "Go to sleep."

"Zhan Haoze——"

"If you don't want to sleep, I will do something to make you want to sleep."

Shi Mengwan's face turned red, so she really didn't ask. If he didn't want to say it, she wouldn't ask. She would ask again when he wanted to say it.

Sighing slightly in her heart, she didn't open her eyes, but rubbed her face against his chest.

"Zhan Haoze."

"kindness?"

"Two years."

"What?"

"I'll wait for you for two years."

Shi Mengwan's voice was very soft. She already wanted to sleep. She had spent too little time sleeping in the past few days.

She didn't hear Zhan Haoze's response, and she didn't need his response.

"If you can't marry me in two years, I will find a random man to marry."

she says.

Zhan Haoze stared at her face, but she seemed to be completely asleep and made no sound.

After a long while, her steady breathing came, confirming that she had really fallen asleep.

Two years?

Zhan Haoze squinted his eyes, his eyes full of depth. Then he leaned over and pressed a very light kiss on her forehead.

One update. Six thousand words. . La la la. Did I say it was a pet article? snort. By the way, Yue Ma updated early again today. She updated before ten o'clock. Is it early? So you hurry up and give me a ranking. A heart every day. Love you. mwah.
