To My Dear Mr. Huo

Shi Mengwan and Qiao Ze have been living together for more than a year. Since the last time she encountered Qiao Ze fighting with someone, she has never encountered Qiao Ze fighting with someone again.

She knew that Qiao Ze actually had some things that he was hiding from her outside. But she also knew that it was his life, and even if she wanted to change it, she couldn't do it.

She just had to tell herself that if she didn't see it, she could just pretend that Qiao Ze was living a normal life outside.

They spent the Mid-Autumn Festival, Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, and Dragon Boat Festival together. The hottest summer in Lin City has passed. Shi Mengwan's studies have entered the male track. She is smart and willing to work hard. Even if she stopped for half a semester, she can still keep up.

In a blink of an eye, the National Day is coming again, and after the National Day is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After Shi Mengwan and the boy lived together, the two of them gradually lived a more decent life.

Shi Mengwan goes to school during the day and cleans the house and does homework at night. The boy goes out during the day and returns home at night. While Shi Mengwan did his homework, he read.

Shi Mengwan once thought that the boy had been working as a gangster outside, so he didn't know much about literacy.

But what the boy read were some history books and biographies of famous people.

In the small living room, two people were sitting under the lamp, each doing their own thing.

At night, the two of them have been sleeping on the same bed since the cold weather last year, and until summer, no one said they wanted to change places.

Shi Mengwan actually looked good when sleeping, but it was strange that every time before going to bed, she always turned her back to the boy and kept a certain distance between them.

But when she woke up in the morning, she would definitely be in the boy's arms.

The boy put his hands on her shoulders and held her in his arms, forming a protective posture.

At first, Shi Mengwan would feel embarrassed and embarrassed. But as time passed, she no longer felt embarrassed.

Especially after a thunderstorm night. The weather was terrible that day, with lots of thunder. Thunder accompanied by lightning turned the entire Lin City into darkness.

At midnight, the electricity also stopped. Shi Mengwan was afraid. She unconsciously sought the boy's embrace.

The boy held her in his arms and covered her ears with his hands: "Go to sleep, I'm here."

"Big brother."

"I'll accompany you." The young man's voice, which had already gone through the voice-changing stage, was a bit hoarse: "Don't be afraid."

She pressed her face tightly against the boy's chest. His heartbeat once overwhelmed the thunder outside.

The steady and powerful heartbeat, one after another, made her completely forget the fear and fear in her heart.

He has the power to calm people's hearts, and she likes to be so close to him. From then on, Shi Mengwan no longer turned her back to the boy to fall asleep.

Invisibly, the relationship between the two became closer.

Seeing that the National Day was coming, Shi Mengwan's school was going to have a seven-day holiday. She wondered if she could go out with Qiao Ze for two days.

She has been in Lin City for so long, and except for that time when she went out to watch the fireworks show, she has never gone anywhere to play seriously.

The young man had no objection to her proposal. After thinking about it, there is a Qin Mountain in Lin City, which is famous for having a huge rock that looks like a Qin on it.

Shi Mengwan had heard of it, and some of her classmates were from nearby.

Because this is the first time I go out with a boy, even to the city's scenic spots. Shi Mengwan was also very happy.

She asked her classmates in advance how to get there. Take some buses there.

On National Day, she prepared some snacks and drinks and followed the boy out.

The scenery of Qinshan Mountain is beautiful. In addition to the huge stone that looks like a guqin, there are also several wonders. The two of them didn't have cameras at that time and couldn't take photos.

But Shi Mengwan smiled happily and was very satisfied.

Her physical strength was not very good, and she was exhausted not long after climbing the mountain.

When the boy went down the mountain, he looked at the sweat on her forehead, turned around and bent down, motioning her to get on his back.

Shi Mengwan said: "I'm very heavy. I can walk by myself. Big brother, let's walk."

But the young man just didn't move, lowered his body, and insisted on asking Shi Mengwan to come up.

Shi Mengwan had no choice but to get on the young man's back. On National Day, there were many people on the mountain. The young man was carrying Shi Mengwan but his steps were steady.

After coming down from the mountain, the two of them waited for a long time but didn't get the bus. After discussing with Qiao Ze, Shi Mengwan and Qiao Ze unanimously decided to walk two stops to a place with public transportation.

After just one stop, the two people realized that they might have gone the wrong way. This is still far away from the real foot of the mountain.

By the time they reacted, several people had already come in front, blocking the way of the two people.

Shi Mengwan was behind Zhan Haoze. Seeing that those people were frightened, she shrank her body behind the boy.

The young man narrowed his eyes as he looked at those people.

"Boy, your followers aren't with you today, are they? I want to see how you can behave today."

Qiao Ze blocked Shi Mengwan behind him and looked at the people in front of him, with the corners of his lips raised in a mocking arc.

He turned around and looked at Shi Mengwan: "You go over there and hide first. I'll be right back."

Shi Mengwan was scared and couldn't help but grab the hem of the boy's clothes. Qiao Ze patted her hand and told her not to be afraid.

She quickly ran and hid behind a nearby tree.

There seemed to be eight people coming, but there was only one young man. Shi Mengwan was extremely worried.

But he saw that the young man was one against eight, and he was not afraid of the fists and kicks that were thrown at him. Dispose of tricks at a glance.

Shi Mengwan's heart was hanging in a knot, as she watched the young man fight back, and she also received a lot of beatings.

Her eyes were red. The boy's fists were accumulated in actual combat, and they hit the flesh and hit the vital points directly.

Three or four people had already been beaten to the ground by him. The remaining people became angrier and fought back harder.

The boy didn't pay attention and received a few more blows on his body. Shi Mengwan became more and more worried.

But at this time, a few more people appeared from nowhere. Those people were different from the gangsters just now. Everyone actually had sticks and steel pipes as thick as their thumbs.

Shi Mengwan's eyes widened as she watched the group of people rush towards Qiao Ze and take action.

Qiao Ze was able to carry one or two at first, but later he was hit several times with sticks on his hands and body, and his figure began to stagger a little.

Shi Mengwan knew that she would only cause trouble in the past, but when she saw someone swinging the long steel pipe towards Qiao Ze's head, she couldn't help but scream.

"Big brother, be careful."

Her cry made Qiao Ze avoid that moment. But it also attracted other people's attention to her direction, and soon, several gangsters rushed towards her.

Qiao Ze was anxious. He ran towards her direction without thinking, but there were too many people on the other side, surrounding him, and he couldn't get through for a while.

Shi Mengwan casually picked up the stones on the ground and threw them at them as they rushed toward her.

But she was young and not very strong. Except for one piece that hit, the rest were all thrown away. The punk she hit was furious. He rushed towards Shi Mengwan and punched her.

The punch was blocked by Qiao Ze who rushed over. Qiao Ze protected her behind him, and when the other party's people rushed up, he pushed her and told her to run quickly.

Where could Shi Mengwan run away at this time? In anger, she picked up the wooden stick that fell on the ground and swung it around.

Such an unstructured fight had no effect at all, and she was soon surrounded by a few gangsters.

The young man tried desperately to run in her direction, but it was no use. Shi Mengwan was beaten anyway.

Shi Mengwan was a little girl, how had she ever experienced this? His body was beaten and he took a few steps back and fell to the ground.

The remaining gangsters were not the kind of people who cared about women, so they swung those sticks at Shi Mengwan. She was able to protect her head with her hands at first.

Later, he received a blow on the head, which made him feel dizzy. She held on and wanted to tell her eldest brother to run quickly. But another blow hit her on the head. She completely lost the ability to resist.

The young man was about to rush over, but at this moment, a gangster from before took out a knife and stabbed the young man.

"Big brother——" Shi Mengwan was so anxious that she desperately tried to save her big brother, but it was in vain. Another blow hit her head and she began to feel dizzy.

Before she fainted, she saw that her elder brother had dodged the knife, but failed to avoid the steel pipe swung by a gangster behind him, and he also fell down.

"Big brother--"

She wanted to scream, but couldn't. She could only let the darkness pull away from her consciousness.

When she woke up again, she was already in the hospital.

Next to her were Shi's father and mother, who looked worried and anxious. They had been looking for her for more than a year. She was even listed on the missing persons website.

She is obviously in Lin City, but her parents don't know.

She didn't know how she got to the hospital. Later she heard that someone called the police, and when the police arrived, she was already there. In addition to her, there were several injured gangsters.

Shi Mengwan was rescued by the police and taken to the hospital. They found her parents and notified the Shi family to pick her up.

When she woke up, it had been three days since the attack.

She asked her parents where her elder brother was? But no one knows where the big brother is. Even the police said there was no such person.

Not only that, those gangsters also said that they had never met Qiao Ze.

Qiao Ze seemed to have disappeared from the world. No matter how she asked or searched, there was no information about Qiao Ze.

The police even told Shi Mengwan that there was no person named Qiao Ze in Lin City as she mentioned. She didn't believe it and insisted on letting the police investigate.

I found a few named Qiao Ze, but none of them had matching information. She had no choice but to ask the police to investigate again, but no one believed her.

She didn't have a photo and couldn't find a single witness to prove what she was saying. Everyone just thinks she is a child.

After that, she was brought back to the town by her parents. She kept begging her parents to let her find her big brother. But Lin City is so big, the police said no, and the parents didn't even care.

No one believed her words, and no one listened to her. She wanted to find her big brother but there was no one to help her.

The most important thing is that after running away from home this time, Shi's mother was frightened by her. Even though she only gave birth to two daughters, she went to have a sterilization, saying that she would not have a third child, and used this to beg her not to leave home again.

In the end, Shi Mengwan had no choice but to listen to her parents and no longer thought about coming to Lin City to find her elder brother.

But the longing for Qiao Ze in my heart could not be restrained at all. Every night, every sunrise, every holiday.

She would always think of the boy who protected her behind her. Not only did that kind of longing not fade with the passage of time, but it became clearer and deeper.

She missed him crazily.

But she never thought that when they met again, the two of them would reach this point.

Her eldest brother changed his name and was no longer the same person as before. Not only did he not care for her at all, but he also hurt her again and again.

…

Zhan Haoze looked at Shi Mengwan sleeping on the bed, with a flash of guilt in his eyes.

It got out of control yesterday, and the result was that Shi Mengwan fell ill. She was already wet, yet he was so messy.

In the end, she was knocked unconscious by him. Even though he took care of it in time, wiped her hair and cleaned her body, Shi Mengwan still fell ill.

He called her and called a doctor. She had a fever of thirty-nine degrees.

The doctor gave her a fever-reducing injection, but her temperature did not drop immediately. After the doctor left, Zhan Haoze went to the bathroom to twist a towel and put it on her head.

The towel was wet and dry, cold and hot. Shi Mengwan never woke up.

During this period, both Xiao Ji and Xiao Qiu from her studio called her. Zhan Haoze answered the phone and didn't care about their reactions when they heard a man answer Shi Mengwan's call. He directly said Shi Mengwan I'm sick and can't go to work for the time being.

Zhan Haoze called Tang Hua again and asked him to send the work here.

After hanging up the phone, he sat down by the bed and looked at Shi Mengwan.

Her face was abnormally red due to fever. Breathing is also a bit heavy. Even when she was asleep, her eyebrows were tightly knitted.

"Big brother--"

Dimly, he seemed to hear her murmur. It was only when I got closer that I heard clearly that she was calling her "big brother".

Zhan Haoze's eyes were deep, and he reached out his hand and gently touched Shi Mengwan's cheek. It was burning badly there, and the temperature was much higher than usual.

As soon as his hand touched it, Shi Mengwan might have felt a burst of coolness, and her frowning eyebrows even relaxed a lot.

"Big brother--"

Shi Mengwan felt like she had had a long dream.

In the dream, she was not forced to separate from her elder brother, there were no gangsters who were looking for trouble, and there was no Zhan Haoze who made her sad.

There is only the big brother who has always been with her and protected her.

She dreamed of opening her own studio and establishing a company, dreamed of her elder brother starting a business with her, and dreamed that they had been together since they were teenagers.

She also dreamed that she and her eldest brother finally achieved enlightenment and walked into the auditorium together.

But at their wedding, just when she was about to marry her eldest brother. Chen Feifei rushed out from nowhere.

"Brother Hao is mine, you shameless mistress."

"You stole my man, you are shameless and despicable."

The wedding became noisy because of Chen Feifei's arrival. All the guests who came to watch the ceremony looked at them as if they were watching a farce.

"I don't, I'm not a mistress."

She was obviously the one who met Zhan Haoze first, so why did she become the mistress?

Shi Mengwan was shocked. She wanted to defend herself, but no one listened to her. She saw the disappointed faces of her parents and the shocked looks of relatives and friends around her.

Even her best friend Su Qingsang looked at her with regret: "Wanwan, give up on him. Give up on him."

Those voices, those people's eyes, were like knives, causing her severe pain.

"don't want--"

She woke up screaming, only to find that her arms and legs were weak. Not only that, she was covered in sweat. The whole person looks like he was fished out of the water.

"you're awake?"

A hoarse male voice sounded, and she turned her head to see Zhan Haoze guarding the bed.

He didn't look well. There was a faint bruise on his jaw and red bloodshot eyes. Seeing him, Shi Mengwan also recalled why he was here.

"you--"

When she spoke, her voice became hoarse. Zhan Haoze brought her a glass of warm water at the right time, helped her up, and fed her to drink.

She wanted to refuse, but her body, which had just had a fever, really didn't have much strength. Her throat was uncomfortable and she couldn't refuse, so she drank all the water in the glass.

The warm water entering her throat finally made her feel better, and she raised her head to look at Zhan Haoze again.

"Are you hungry? There is porridge in the kitchen. It's hot. Let me bring it to you."

Zhan Haoze's voice can be considered gentle. Shi Mengwan looked at him and before she could stop him, he had already gone to serve the porridge.

Shi Mengwan was really hungry. Naturally, she didn't know that she slept for two full days from the time she had a fever to when she woke up.

She doesn't usually get sick very often, so when she does get sick, she reacts very violently.

Zhan Haoze came in with porridge. He helped Shi Mengwan sit up, scooped up a spoonful of porridge and put it into Shi Mengwan's mouth.

Shi Mengwan tilted her head and avoided his hand.

"Zhan Haoze——" Her voice was hoarse and she looked quite weak: "Why haven't you left yet?"

"Drink porridge first." Zhan Haoze still held the spoon in his hand: "You have been sick for two days. You can't do it without eating."

Shi Mengwan's eyebrows were knitted tightly. From her current situation, it was natural to guess that she was sick. She also didn't forget who was responsible for her illness.

"Zhan Haoze, I don't want to see you. Get out."

She has not yet recovered from her illness, and everything from her voice to her face shows weakness. This sentence was said without any momentum at all.

Zhan Haoze still maintained the same posture as before: "You drink porridge first, and then talk about it after you finish it."

"You go first. I will drink it after you leave." Shi Mengwan turned away, stubbornly refusing to drink.

"You drink first, and I will leave after you finish."

Zhan Haoze's words made Shi Mengwan angry, and she couldn't help but glare at him. But don't say she is sick now. Even if she is healthy, she will never be able to suppress him in terms of momentum.

"you--"

She opened her mouth, and Zhan Haoze fed the spoon in his hand into her mouth. Her words failed her. Forced to swallow the porridge in his mouth.

Before she could speak again, the second spoon was already fed to her. Just like that, Shi Mengwan finished the bowl of porridge half-forced.

The porridge bottomed out, and she regained some strength: "I've finished drinking it, can you go?"

Zhan Haoze put down the bowl and left in no hurry.

Instead, he took out the tissue on the bedside to wipe Shi Mengwan's mouth. Shi Mengwan avoided his movements.

"Zhan Haoze, I really don't want to see you."

Zhan Haoze's hand holding the tissue stopped in mid-air. Shi Mengwan's eyes were looking at an unknown point in front of her. Her head was still a little dizzy, and she was weak and unable to exert herself.

But there were some things she had to say.

"You have Chen Feifei, why are you coming to me?"

Without giving him a chance, she smiled bitterly: "Yes, you want to say that your relationship with Chen Feifei is not that kind of relationship. You want to ask me to believe you and give you time. Right?"

"But why should I believe you and why should I give you time?"

"You and she can appear in front of everyone, you and her can stand in the sun and receive everyone's blessings, but what about you and I? Zhan Haoze, what can you and I do? For example, on an occasion like yesterday, how dare you Introduce everyone, am I your girlfriend? Do you dare?"

She finally looked at him, her voice was hoarse and her eyes were gloomy: "You don't dare."

Zhan Haoze's eyebrows were knitted tightly. He opened his mouth to speak, but Shi Mengwan didn't give him a chance.

"You don't dare let people know that I am your girlfriend, and you don't dare let people know that we have a relationship. You can go out with Chen Feifei, but you can't see me going out with other men. You humiliate me and hurt me. . Zhan Haoze, I am a human being, not a doll——"

After saying so many words in one breath, Shi Mengwan felt a little breathless. She put a hand on her chest to calm herself down.

"Zhan Haoze, everything in the past. I can regard it as my fault, my mistake. I gave you the opportunity to hurt me again and again. But I have paid the price now, Zhan Haoze, can you let go Pass me?"

Her face was pale, and she looked pitiful and weak. She is completely different from her usual bright and charming self.

Zhan Haoze felt his heart tremble. Looking at Shi Mengwan, he couldn't have any other reaction for a moment.

His surprise fell in Shi Mengwan's eyes. She thought he was still unwilling to let go, so her eyes were a little red.

"Zhan Haoze, I'm really tired, very tired, and I don't want to continue. Is that okay? You don't want me to break my skin, right?"

She said for a rare moment: "I think if Chen Feifei knew about our relationship, I'm afraid she would be unhappy, right?"

Zhan Haoze's expression changed slightly, and he thought of Chen Feifei's usual methods. What is the fate of the Ling Xue before? What if she ends up being Shi Mengwan——

He suddenly didn't dare to think about it any more.

Seeing that he was capable, Shi Mengwan knew that he would not dare to let Chen Feifei know about it. The corners of her lips raised, and she smiled mockingly.

"Let's go." Shi Mengwan was really uncomfortable. She felt tired and uncomfortable. She retracted her body into the quilt, turned her face away, and did not look at Zhan Haoze: "I am very tired, I want to rest."

She closed her eyes. In fact, she didn't want to sleep after two days of sleep, but she didn't want to see him even more.

The room was quiet, she didn't move, and Zhan Haoze didn't move either. She felt him still sitting there and she felt uncomfortable. Want to drive him away.

But he knew that he had no strength now and was no match for him.

Many thoughts were running through her mind, from her teenage years until now. From meeting Zhan Haoze again to now. Finally there was that dream.

Chen Feifei pointed at her nose and scolded her for being the dream of a shameless mistress.

Her eyes were a little sore and uncomfortable. She resisted rubbing her eyes, but in the next second, she felt a very gentle kiss fall on her forehead.

"sorry."

One update, six thousand words. Yue Ma really hates weekends. I feel all kinds of uncomfortable when the weekend comes. Continue tomorrow. There’s only one day left to compete in the rankings, little fairies, please give me some strength! Keep asking for love!
