Shi Mengwan never knew that she would fall into such a situation one day.

She once fantasized that if one day she met her Dear Bother and she found him, what would she do?

Ever since she separated from her Dear Bother at the age of 13, she often thought about it. Sometimes, she even felt her heart ache when she thought about it. When she couldn’t find her Dear Bother, she only felt despondent and lost. But now that she had found him, she felt even worse.

She felt bad that her Dear Bother had forgotten her, and that he was treating her like this now.

But she hated herself even more since because of her previous desires, she put herself in such an awkward situation.

When her gaze fell on Zhan Haoze’s face, she realized that he had opened his eyes. Seeing that she was staring at him, he stretched out his hand and pulled her waist into his embrace.

Their bodies were once again pressed together. Shi Mengwan wasn’t used to this kind of intimacy.

“Don’t move.” Not allowing her to make a sound, Zhan Haoze’s hand was on her waist. “It looks like you don’t want to sleep. If that’s the case –”

His hand slowly moved down the back of her waist. Shi Mengwan was startled and quickly grabbed his hand. “Don’t act recklessly.”

Even she herself felt that these words sounded feeble. If he wanted to do anything rash, he would have done it a long time ago. Why would he care about that?

She lowered her head and what she saw was Zhan Haoze’s chest. She turned her face away uncomfortably.

“I’m sleepy. I want to sleep.”

She tried to turn her back to him, but he didn’t give her the chance.

He took her body back into his arms and lowered his head to look at the defiant expression in her eyes.

“Sleep like this.”

Shi Mengwan felt more and more uncomfortable. How could she sleep like this?

“If you don’t sleep, I’ll continue.” He placed his hand on her waist again.

After Zhan Haoze threatened her again, Shi Mengwan seemed to be frightened, and quickly closed her eyes.

Her eyes were tightly shut. Her long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly.

Zhan Haoze’s eyes darkened. The hand that wasn’t on Shi Mengwan’s waist trembled slightly. He lifted it, as if he wanted to touch her face, but he put it down again.

He closed his eyes and didn’t look at her again.

Shi Mengwan couldn’t fall asleep, and her mind was in turmoil. It was rare for her to be at a loss like this.

Zhan Haoze’s chest was burning hot, and the hand on his waist was firm and strong. She couldn’t break free, but she was afraid that he would really do it again.

She closed her eyes and tried hard not to look at Zhan Haoze. She thought that she wouldn’t be able to sleep, but she fell asleep again in a daze.

The dream came without warning, and Shi Mengwan saw her 12-year-old self again.

She had been with Qiao Ze for more than a month. During this month, she more or less became familiar with her surroundings.

Sometimes during the day, she would go out and take a look around. However, she wouldn’t walk too far and would come back.

She found an extremely old bookstore at the end of the alley. Hence, she had something to do.

Qiao Ze’s residence didn’t have a television or other electronic products. At that time, phones had already been invented.

However, it was impossible for someone like Qiao Ze and her to afford phones and communication products.

Shi Mengwan had nothing to do, so she would go to the bookstore to borrow books every day. There weren’t many books in the bookstore, but she liked to go there. At least she could kill time.

Qiao Ze, on the other hand, went out every day. He seemed to be very busy, especially after the injury on his hand healed. He would go out early and come back late every day.

Sometimes, he would come back for dinner, but after dinner, he would run out again.

She asked him what he was doing, but he told her not to care. After a long time, she didn’t ask anymore.

As if she was Qiao Ze’s sister, she cleaned his house, cooked, and washed his clothes every day.

However, after she stayed at Qiao Ze’s place for more than a month, in Lin City entered late autumn.

Lin City was located in the south, and the weather was extreme. In such a season, the temperature difference was very big. It was fine during the day, but she didn’t feel cold even if she only wore a long sleeve.

But at night, a blanket really couldn’t warm her up. She felt cold.

On the first day it turned cold, she could still endure it, but the next day, it started to rain.

She felt extremely cold. She curled up on the sofa and looked around Qiao Ze’s room with a conflicted expression.

She had stayed at Qiao Ze’s place for more than a month, so she naturally knew that the young man only had a blanket at home. There was nothing else.

She didn’t know where the young man got the money during this period of time, but he had enough money to eat and buy clothes for her. However, she wasn’t sure if her Dear Brother would agree to buy a blanket.

She felt so cold that she felt uncomfortable. She tossed and turned on the sofa for a long time, but she couldn’t fall asleep.

“What are you doing?”

Her movements were too loud. Even Qiao Ze, who was inside, was disturbed by her. He got up and came out. When he saw Shi Mengwan sleeping on the sofa, his face was filled with displeasure.

Shi Mengwan got up and wrapped herself tightly in the blanket. She looked at the youth timidly.

“I’m cold.”

She was too embarrassed to continue talking. She originally wanted to take care of Qiao Ze until his hand was better, then go home. She thought about her quarrel with her grandmother, and how things were at home. If she went back and her parents didn’t change their mind and still wanted to send her sister away, she would rather not go back.

But after staying for more than a month, although Qiao Ze sometimes looked intimifating, he was good to her.

Qiao Ze was good to her, so she was a little embarrassed.

He saved her from being bullied, so she stayed to repay him for saving her life.

But now, she had to let him take care of her, and she had to let him buy her a quilt.

A twelve-year-old girl was very thin-skinned. If it weren’t for the cold, she wouldn’t have said anything.

Qiao ze glanced at her and then at the sofa.

“You go to the bed to sleep.”

“What about you?”

Shi Mengwan bit her lip and looked at the sofa. He was much taller than her. How could he sleep on such a sofa?

Qiao Ze didn’t say anything and gestured for her to get up. He pulled the blanket over and laid down on the sofa.

When he really fell asleep, Shi Mengwan realized that Qiao Ze really couldn’t sleep.

He was already 1.7 meters tall. He couldn’t even put his feet down on the sofa, not to mention the fact that the small blanket couldn’t cover him.

“Dear Brother…”

“Go to sleep.” Qiao Ze closed his eyes, as if he was going to sleep just like that.

Shi Mengwan bit her lip. She didn’t enter the room. She looked at Qiao Ze and then looked at the bed.

In the end, her hands tightly clenched into fists.

“Dear Brother. Why don’t you sleep on the bed too?”

The weather was getting colder and colder. She couldn’t possibly let Qiao Ze sleep on the sofa outside. If he continued like this, he would definitely catch a cold.

Qiao Ze heard her and opened his eyes to look at her. “You want to sleep with me?”

“…”Shi Mengwan was a little embarrassed, but in the end, she nodded. “Dear Brother, I believe in you.”

Qiao Ze stared at her face and finally sat up.

Shi Mengwan went into the room, and Qiao Ze followed her in.

He directly laid down on the bed. Feeling a little awkward, Shi Mengwan stood there.

Qiao Ze pulled the blanket over her, then closed his eyes and went to sleep sleep. After waiting for a while, when he didn’t see Shi Mengwan come up to sleep, so he opened his eyes again.

He looked at Shi Mengwan and found that she was standing there without moving at all.

“You’re not sleepy?”

Yes, of course she was sleepy. But no matter how sleepy she was, she was still a girl.

It was just a moment of impulse just now. She was afraid that her Dear Brother wouldn’t sleep well and catch a cold, so she asked him to come to bed to sleep.

Now that she had calmed down, Shi Mengwan felt awkward.

“Go to sleep then.”

Qiao Ze worked outside every day, so he had a lot of exercise every day. He was sleepy now, so he wanted to sleep.

Before closing his eyes, he glanced at Shi Mengwan again.

“Don’t worry, I’m not interested with your curveless figure.”

Shi Mengwan was still a little girl. When had she ever heard such words? Her face was burning, blushing, and she was embarrassed.

But what Qiao Ze said was the truth.

She was only twelve years old this year and wasn’t well developed yet. She was just a little girl.

She went to bed and slept an arm away from Qiao Ze. She covered herself with the blanket. Covering herself with the blanket was completely different from covering herself with the quilt.

She finally felt that she wasn’t cold anymore, because she wasn’t cold anymore, her complexion was much better.

She thought that she wouldn’t be able to sleep with someone sleeping beside her, but she was really sleepy. Slowly, she actually fell asleep.

When Shi Mengwan woke up in the morning, she realized that she was sleeping with Qiao Ze.

The young man’s sleeping posture was quite casual. One of his feet was already outside the blanket, and the other was still under the blanket.

His slightly slender arm was resting on her shoulder.

Shi Mengwan looked at that hand, then looked at the young man’s sleeping face, and confirmed that the young man didn’t mean it.

Trying to avoid the young man’s hand, she stepped back uncomfortably, but the bed was only so big, so how could she avoid it?

She could only take the young man’s hand away, but the young man opened his eyes at that moment.

Her hand was still holding his hand, but when she met the young man’s dark and deep gaze, Shi Mengwan was shocked and quickly released her hand.

Qiao Ze’s hand dropped down again, and hit her shoulder.

She felt pain and her facial expression instantly changed.

“What are you doing?” The youth stood up. His duck-like male voice sounded a little hoarse and unpleasant.

“… nothing.” Shi Mengwan quickly stood up. “I, I’m just asking what you’re having for breakfast.”

“Whatever.” There was no need to ask such things. Shi Mengwan had always made her own decisions.

Shi Mengwan hadn’t lived with her parents ever since she started to understand things. Her cousins weren’t close to her because her parents had given birth to a girl.

This was the first time she slept on the same bed with a boy she had just met.

The boy only felt that she was strange. How could he know her girlish thoughts?

Shi Mengwan had been living with the young man for quite a few days before she realized that in a young man’s heart, there was no awareness of the difference between a man and a woman.
