To My Dear Mr. Huo

There is a faint fragrance of food floating in the air. Shi Mengwan, wearing the clothes Qiao Ze bought, served the food in the kitchen and took it out.

Qiao Ze sat on the small table like an uncle.

kindness. Qiao Ze later found this table from somewhere. Shi Mengwan and Qiao Ze had their meals on the coffee table before.

She cooked porridge this morning, and when she served it to the coffee table, she found it very inconvenient to sit on the sofa to eat, as she had to bend over.

We should get a table, she said. Would it be comfortable to at least sit and eat?

She said this, and at noon, Qiao Ze moved the table.

Square tables were very common in rural areas in the past. Also brought along were two chairs.

Shi Mengwan didn't even know how Qiao Ze got it. She watched Qiao Ze pick up the bowl and eat with big mouthfuls.

When a boy is growing, he eats an astonishing amount of food. She basically cooked the food for three people when she was at home with her parents.

But except for her share, the rest went into the boy's stomach.

The boy eats so much and doesn't get fat. Very thin. He was quite energetic. He moved in the table just now by himself. She said she wanted to help, but he refused to let her go.

After two days of treatment, the injuries on his face healed a lot. Only the corners of his mouth were slightly bruised. You can already see the boy's true face.

He had a very handsome face with narrow eyes. No one in the school that Shi Mengwan went to or in the town where she lived, including after she came to Lin City, was as good-looking as Zhan Haoze.

He is no less impressive than the stars on TV.

It's this image that's a bit bad. His hand was injured, so he didn't hold the bowl, but held it weakly. Just eat like this. The posture is inevitably a bit ugly.

If her grandma saw this at her house, she would definitely scold her. They say they have no rules and don't eat properly.

The young man noticed that Shi Mengwan was staring at him. He stopped eating and stared at Shi Mengwan.

What are you looking at?

As soon as the young man opened his mouth, his beautiful face was immediately ruined. The voice during the voice change period is really not very nice.

Shi Mengwan looked a little uncomfortable when she peeked at the young man who was caught red-handed. After all, she is only twelve years old this year. It is really not reserved to stare at a boy like this.

I just want to ask, where did you get that table?

The young man didn't say anything. He finished the rice in the bowl in a few mouthfuls. When he went to pick up the next bowl of rice, he glanced at Shi Mengwan.

What? Are you afraid that my table was stolen? Then someone will come and harm you?

She didn't. Before Shi Mengwan could explain, the boy snorted: Don't worry. It's not stolen. No one will come to catch you.

Brother. Shi Mengwan bit her lip, a little hurt by the young man's aggressive and impatient attitude: I'm just curious.

I picked it up. The young man answered casually: If I were to steal it, I wouldn't steal such a rotten table.

It's really a bit messy, look at the corner of the table, the paint is peeling off.

Shi Mengwan stopped asking and ate quietly, but when the boy put down the bowl, she had a new question.

Where did you get the money to buy groceries?

What she bought yesterday, plus what she bought today, if it were just the dozens of dollars she gave to the boy, it would not be enough at all.

You know, the boy even bought ribs and meat today. Not only that, the young man also provided some rice and noodles for the family.

She was really curious.

The young man relaxed his body on the chair. After eating and drinking enough, the unruly and sinister nature in him had subsided a bit.

Don't worry. I'm not stealing or robbing, I'm just doing this in an honest way.

Shi Mengwan looked at him with a bit of doubt in her eyes: Can't I ask?

No. The young man was so arrogant that Shi Mengwan stopped asking. He lowered his head and continued eating, muttering something in his mouth.

That sentence was heard by the young man, who knocked on the table: What do you mean? Tell me clearly.

Shi Mengwan stopped talking, but the young man suddenly moved his face closer. The table is old and not too big. The young man approached so unexpectedly, and the bowl Shi Mengwan was holding almost came loose.

I'm telling you, I have to worry about money. It's not your turn.

After saying that, as if he was afraid that Shi Mengwan would not listen to him, he pointed his index finger at her face: Remember.

knew.

If you dare to pick up scraps, I will destroy you first.

Shi Mengwan said nothing. She looked at the boy and asked her doubts for the first time: Brother, where are your parents? Why do you live here alone?

What's more, apart from the simplest furniture, there is not a single photo in the room. There is not even a trace of adult life.

My parents are dead. The young man glanced at her and sneered: It's you, where are your parents? Why did you come here alone? I heard what you said is a bit different from the locals in Lin City. You shouldn't be the native Are you from the city? What about your parents? Why don’t they care about you?

I... Shi Mengwan bit her lip, thinking of her grandmother who favored boys over girls, and her mother who had just given birth to a little sister but was rejected by her grandmother: It's not that they don't care about me, it's that I ran away from home.

How courageous you are. The young man stared at Shi Mengwan and clicked his tongue: With your appearance, you dare to run away from home?

Nothing happened, she was really lucky, and the situation she encountered those two gangsters that day was entirely caused by herself.

What's wrong with my appearance?

Shi Mengwan's mother was a beauty, but Shi Mengwan herself didn't really think she was good-looking.

The young man suddenly moved his face closer, his eyes staring straight at her. Shi Mengwan felt uncomfortable being stared at by him.

What are you doing?

Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know?

The boy was so close that she could clearly see the fine fuzz on his skin. She is a little girl after all, so she felt embarrassed now.

Shi Mengwan stepped back a little: You...

Forget it, I won't tease you anymore.

It's not like she grew up in this market. I am very clear about these principles.

But a child. The boy felt bored, stood up and walked outside.

Where are you going?

Let's go. Xu felt that his tone was a little bad, so he added in the young man's duck voice: I'm going to make money, aren't you always worried that I don't have money? I'm going to make money.

Who is worried that he has no money? Shi Mengwan is not worried.

You still have injuries on your hands. What do you want to do? Shi Mengwan thought of the table he moved back before: The doctor told you not to lift heavy objects, have you forgotten?

Don't worry. This little injury won't kill you.

The young man said this and left.

The young man left but didn't come back for a long time. When night fell, Shi Mengwan was no longer waiting for him.

It's just that she doesn't feel safe at home alone.

This bungalow only has one door. There isn't even an extra security door outside.

It's not like when she was in the town before, her neighbors on the left and right were all close people. It won't hinder anything.

In the few days she has been here, she hasn't seen anyone living next door. What she didn't know was that this place was very close to a development zone in Zhuolin City.

In this old city, it turns out that most local people are no longer willing to live here, and they rent it out to migrant workers.

The people who live here all work during the day, and those who work part-time, each have their own things to do. It’s been a tiring day since I got home. Who wants to meddle in other people’s affairs?

This is also the reason why no one came to help Shi Mengwan when she was chased by two people last time.

Shi Mengwan huddled on the small sofa and stared at the door, not daring to sleep.

I don't know where Qiao Ze has gone, and he still hasn't come back so late. She got up and looked at the time again.

The old alarm clock already pointed to half past eleven. The weather seemed to be bad today. She heard the sound of rain hitting the window.

The sound came one after another, making her more and more anxious.

After all, she was only twelve years old, and she ran away from home alone to Lin City, that boy, even though she was not familiar with him, even though the boy looked angry.

But when he is here, at least it won't be so empty.

She turned over again, but still couldn't sleep. The rain outside seemed to be getting heavier.

She couldn't sleep any more, so she simply got up, wrapped herself in a blanket, and sat huddled on the sofa.

That's when the door opened. She was startled by the sound of the door opening and almost jumped.

It was at this time that the young man pushed open the door and entered. The boy's clothes were all wet, and his hair was also wet.

The soles of the shoes were stained with some mud and water, and they looked a little embarrassed. Seeing that Shi Mengwan was still asleep, the young man was stunned for a moment.

You haven't slept yet?

I - Shi Mengwan was embarrassed to say that she was timid and was afraid that she would not be able to sleep: Where have you been? Why did you come back so late?

That's embarrassing. The young man shook the water from his hair and went to his room.

Shi Mengwan stood up and followed him: You, why are you getting wet?

Yes. The young man responded casually and was about to take off the wet clothes. Suddenly he turned around and glanced at Shi Mengwan.

There should be some materials in the kitchen, right?

Yes. Are you hungry?

Well, cook me a bowl of noodles. The young man looked at Shi Mengwan and said, Cook more, and I'll take a shower.

The naturally instructive tone did not arouse the slightest dissatisfaction or resistance from Shi Mengwan.

He's back, there's one more person here, and she doesn't have to be so scared.

She turned around and went to the kitchen. Cooking noodles couldn't be easier for her.

The moment she took out the noodles, she thought of the boy's too thin body.

After thinking about it, he took out another egg and the remaining tomatoes that the boy bought before.

It took her twenty minutes to cook the tomato and egg noodles. He took it out and put it on the small table outside. The boy had just taken a shower.

As soon as he came out, he smelled the fragrance and glanced at Shi Mengwan.

Without saying anything, he sat down and picked up the noodles to eat. He didn't realize anything until he picked up the chopsticks and glanced at Shi Mengwan.

You don't want to eat?

No need. Just eat.

Shi Mengwan shook her head. She had already brushed her teeth. She is a bit mysophobic and refuses to eat after brushing her teeth.

When the young man heard this, he ignored her.

Shi Mengwan can go to sleep now: I'm going to bed. When you're done eating, put the bowl in the sink inside. I'll wash it tomorrow.

That's long-winded. The young man replied without raising his head while eating noodles.

Shi Mengwan's face didn't look very good. Why was she so verbose?

Not wanting to pay attention to the boy, she went straight to sleep on the sofa. The moment I closed my eyes, I thought, maybe her cooking skills are not that good, right?

Why does the young man eat so happily every time?

I don’t know what life was like before. She has a lot of curiosity about teenagers. But at this time, she knew that she couldn't ask anything.

………………

The sound of the bowl being placed on the table brought Shi Mengwan back to her senses, only to realize that Zhan Haoze had finished eating the noodles and was staring at her. She withdrew her gaze and re-entered the kitchen without saying another word.

The materials are all ready-made, she moves quickly, and it's not complicated to make. I cooked another bowl of noodles for myself. But I found that I didn't have much appetite to eat.

In that year and more, how many times had she cooked for her eldest brother? How many times have you cooked noodles?

But she found that her eldest brother’s favorite was tomato and egg noodles. Even if her cooking methods are not like those of a chef and even have some weird methods, Qiao Ze likes them very much.

For example, no one would chop up the vegetables and put them into the noodles when cooking noodles. Another example is that she always likes to cut tomatoes into small pieces.

Instead of cutting the tomatoes into slices like in restaurants outside.

Su Qingsang had laughed at her before, saying that no one could cook tomato and egg noodles like her.

She countered, saying this is my original creation, okay?

Fortunately, Su Qingsang is not good at cooking, but he is not picky either. When two good sisters get together, she eats whatever she does.

Just like the big brother, no matter what she does or how she makes it, he will eat it the same.

And she just looked at Zhan Haoze. I thought of my big brother. There are two people, although one looks rude and wolfish, the other looks slow and elegant.

But she really saw the similarities between the two people. For example, both Big Brother and Zhan Haoze like to pick up the noodles first and then take a sip of the soup in the noodles instead of eating them.

Also, Zhan Haoze's movements in holding chopsticks are the same as those of his elder brother. Normal people hold chopsticks flat.

But Zhan Haoze's fingers are particularly long. When he holds the chopsticks, the angle is a bit lower than that of ordinary people. It looks like he is holding it crookedly.

It was once again confirmed that Zhan Haoze was the eldest brother, and the similarities between the two people were once again found, but there was nothing to be happy about for Shi Mengwan.

The eldest brother has already forgotten her.

She looked at the bowl of noodles and had no appetite, but forced herself to take it out.

Not seeing Zhan Haoze, she was stunned for a moment. I was so distracted just now that I didn't even hear the door close.

Come to think of it, Zhan Haoze has already left. I can't tell whether it's because I'm disappointed or something else.

She just felt that her whole heart was empty, and that feeling was back to when she was thirteen years old and lost her eldest brother.

After casually eating a few mouthfuls of noodles, Shi Mengwan was in no mood to continue.

Put away the bowls and tidy up the kitchen again. I was obviously very tired, but I didn't want to sleep at all. I simply mopped the kitchen and living room floors.

When she was tired and busy, Shi Mengwan returned to her room.

She was startled as soon as she entered the door. The person she thought had left was actually sitting on the bed in her room.

...

Shi Mengwan stood at the door, looked at Zhan Haoze, and then looked in the direction of the door.

You, you didn't leave?

She looked at Zhan Haoze. He had already taken off his suit jacket and vest. Wearing only a shirt underneath.

At this time, two buttons of the shirt were unbuttoned, and the sleeves were casually rolled up to the elbow.

The broken hair hung down from his forehead, and his leopard-like eyes were still sharp. Especially since the other party was still sitting on the bed at this time, with his slender legs folded together casually, making him look handsome and lazy.

... If I want to drive the other person away, there is a lump in my throat, and I can't say a word.

She didn't know it before, but now she realizes that it's not just women who mislead people. The same goes for men and women.

It took a few seconds to find her voice, and Shi Mengwan took a step back.

Looking at the enlarged face in front of her, she couldn't find her voice for a long time. Digging her nails into her palms, she reminded herself that the person in front of her was no longer her big brother, and she could no longer be entangled with him.

Mr. Zhan, it's getting late. Please leave.

Her expulsion order made Zhan Haoze stand up. The room was so big, and he walked in front of her easily.

Shi Mengwan thought he was leaving, so she took a step back twice. Signaling that he can go out.

Zhan Haoze suddenly put a hand on the wall behind her.

Shi Mengwan's back was pressed tightly against the wall, not daring to move.

What did you call me? Zhan Haoze slowly moved his face closer, and his breath pointed at her face.

Shi Mengwan felt uncomfortable for a while, and she didn't know what kind of madness he had. Since he doesn't admit that he is her eldest brother and has a fiancée, let her keep her distance from him.

Mr. Zhan. It's getting late, please - uh uh -

Her lips were kissed, and the man's minty smell hit her face. Behind her was the cold wall, and in front of her was his hot chest.

She experienced the same situation twice in one day.

She didn't understand what Zhan Haoze was thinking. All her consciousness was confused by this overbearing kiss.

She thought of Zhan Haoze eating noodles and her elder brother eating noodles.

She thought of the way Zhan Haoze looked when he was sitting on her bed with his legs folded just now, and also thought of the way his eldest brother sat on the sofa in the small bungalow.

Two faces, youthful and mature, overlapped in front of her. She couldn't escape from Zhan Haoze's kiss.

She even forgot how she resisted Zhan Haoze in the hotel before. Or maybe she had to worry about someone walking by at that time, but she didn't have to worry about it now.

The kiss slowly changed in flavor, and Zhan Haoze's hands began to move around her body.

Maybe it was because the temperature in the room was not low, but she actually felt that his hands were a little hot.

Her consciousness became more and more confused. The remaining string of reason told her that this was wrong, wrong. can not do this.

But when Zhan Haoze's hand reached into her clothes, that reason completely collapsed.

She was defeated in front of him, retreating steadily.

She didn't know when the body arrived on the bed.

She didn't know when the clothes fell to the ground.

She only remembered the feeling, Zhan Haoze's kiss, Zhan Haoze's touch, and the feeling Zhan Haoze made her feel.

Not rude, but not as eager as last time. But it can't be said to be very gentle. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, he still carried a brutal, almost predatory attack.

When she became one with him, her mind went blank, and the only thought left was that of her big brother.

Big brother……

She whispered those three words softly, but Zhan Haoze's eyes became deeper and gloomier.

He kissed her lips, but felt it wasn't enough. He increased the force and knocked her into pieces. Naturally, the sound could no longer come out.

………………

Everything must come to an end.

When everything returned to calm for Shi Mengwan, her remaining sanity finally began to return.

She suddenly realized what she had done. What did Zhan Haoze do?

She turned to look at him. The man was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling above his head, breathing heavily.

Silence, the only sound in the room was the breathing of two people. Shi Mengwan turned away, her body was tired, but what was even more tired was her heart.

What does it mean for them to be like this?

What did he take her for?

She turned over and her body slowly curled up. She is tired and she needs to sleep now.

Her body was held in someone's arms. She tried to struggle, but she had no strength.

What's more, the struggle at this time is actually very ridiculous.

They just did everything they could and couldn't do. Isn’t it too late to struggle now?

Shi Mengwan felt that she was being pretentious, but now she was really being pretentious.

Don't touch me, don't come again. She had no strength left. Didn't he know what he had just done?

Zhan Haoze did not do anything to her. He just hugged her into his arms, tightening his arms a little tight.

Zhan Haoze. Let me go. Shi Mengwan's back was pressed tightly against his chest, and the two of them were in an extremely intimate posture at this time.

She doesn't like this kind of intimacy, or maybe she's not used to it.

I'm going to take a shower. Seeing that he had no intention of letting go, she had to pull his arm.

I said let me go, I'm going to take a shower.

Zhan Haoze did not let her go, but turned her body around.

The resistance on her face was so obvious that Zhan Haoze didn't even understand what she was resisting.

He went to kiss her lips again. Shi Mengwan really felt tired.

She didn't understand how he did it, but she couldn't ask. Because Zhan Haoze started again.

When she wanted to regain her senses and draw a clear line with him, he started a new round of plundering.

This time, she didn't even have a place to escape.

…………

Shi Mengwan suffered from insomnia. She couldn't sleep.

After three consecutive pleasures and entanglements with Zhan Haoze, she was just like last time. She should have been extremely tired, but she was full of energy at this time.

She looked at the ceiling above her head, not quite understanding how things had turned out like this.

His eyes fell on Zhan Haoze's face again. What on earth was he thinking?

Why can he have sex with himself while also having sex with her girlfriend?

She had never seen them get along, but she felt she didn't need to. Just now Chen Feifei kept hooking Zhan Haoze's hand. She knew it.

Where she didn't see it, the two of them would definitely be intimate.

But why?

Why did he come to provoke him?

One update, six thousand words. I'm busy today, so I'll update more tomorrow, sorry.
