As her body became hot, Shi Mengwan put her arms around Zhan Haoze’s neck and looked into his eyes.

She had long discovered that Zhan Haoze’s eyes were darker than the average Asian’s. Most Asian eyes had a light brown tint.

However, Zhan Haoze’s eyes weren’t. His eyes were pure black. They were like a pair of extremely beautiful obsidian.

Every time he fell in love, the color of those eyes became more and more profound. Like a deep spring, she often couldn’t help but indulge in it.

Not only now, but a long time ago, she had liked to look at her Dear Brother’s eyes.

She thought that he was really her disaster. She could talk and laugh freely, she could deal with difficult clients, she could face her troublesome grandmother with a strong attitude. She could even make fun of Xiang Caiping and make her happy.

However, she couldn’t feel at ease in front of Zhan Haoze.

Every time she saw him, she felt helpless.

The face in front of her overlapped with Dear Brother. Shi Mengwan couldn’t help but call him Dear Brother again.

Zhan Haoze, who was working hard on her body, became more and more interested. In the end, he banged her so hard that she couldn’t speak anymore.

When her consciousness was shattered, she naturally couldn’t say the words “Dear Brother” anymore.

..

After Shi Mengwan told Qiao Ze everything, she felt that what Qiao Ze said before might be true. He really had something to do, so he left early and returned late.

Because after that day, Qiao Ze returned to the days where he would go home early every day, eat dinner with her, wake up early and eat breakfast with her.

After the first month, the temperature in Lin City slowly rose. Shi Mengwan grew taller again. She could no longer wear the clothes from before.

In the past few months, some of the clothes she wore were bought for her by Qiao Ze, and some were picked up by her directly.

Her mother used to know how to make clothes, and she was the only tailor in the town at that time. Shi Mengwan had watched her mother step on the sewing machine since she was young. Not only did she know how to make clothes, she also knew how to tailor clothes with a needle and thread.

Qiao Ze also grew very fast. After the new year, he seemed to have grown a few centimeters taller. As he grew taller, he looked even thinner.

There were some things in the closet that couldn’t be worn, such as t-shirts, shirts, and jeans. Shi Mengwan took them over and changed them smaller so that she could wear them for herself.

Qiao Ze once laughed at her. “Are you planning to be a tailor when you grow up?”

“No.” Shi Mengwan shook her head. “I don’t want to be a tailor. I want to be a fashion designer.”

“Isn’t that the same as a tailor?”

The youth didn’t know much about the fashion world and he started joking. However, Shi Mengwan was unusually serious. “That’s not right. A tailor is a tailor, and a fashion designer is a fashion designer. I’ve checked all of them. They’re different.”

The young girl’s eyes were clear and bright. When she talked about her dream, she didn’t back down at all. The youth stared at the clothes in her hands. However, he stopped mocking her.

“Okay. It’s different. I’ll wait for you to become a fashion designer.”

Shi Mengwan’s eyes were mirthful, and she had an obvious smile on her face. “You trust me that much?”

“I trust you.” Just by looking at the stitching and the clothes that she had changed, he saw that there was nothing that didn’t fit. There was nothing for him to not believe.

Shi Mengwan smiled, but that smile didn’t last long. She thought of another matter.

She was hanging out with Qiao Ze every day now. She didn’t go home, nor did she go to school. To become a fashion designer, she had to at least go back and finish her studies.

But when she thought of Grandma Shi and the messy affairs at home, she didn’t want to go back. Grandma Shi didn’t want to go back.

“What’s wrong?” The youth looked at her with a pair of sparkling eyes. When he met the sadness that flashed in Shi Mengwan’s eyes, he seemed to understand something.

“Do you not want to stay here anymore?”

“Dear Brother?” Shi Mengwan was shocked when she heard this. “Are you trying to chase me away?”

“If you don’t want to stay, then go home. You’re different from me.”

Shi Mengwan had parents. She only ran away from home because she was angry with her family. Qiao Ze already knew about this.

Shi Mengwan bit her lip and finally shook her head. “I don’t want to go back.”

“If you don’t go back, how are you going to go to school? How are you going to be your fashion designer?”

“I don’t know.” After all, she was only a little over twelve years old. How could she think about so much?

“Dear Brother, don’t chase me away, okay?”

The youth wasn’t moved by her words. Instead, he was very serious. “You have to know that if you follow me, you might not be able to fulfill your dream.”

Shi Mengwan’s expression was conflicted. She knew in her heart that what the youth said was true.

But —

Her gaze was fixed on the youth. Under the light, the youth’s eyes were as black as ink, and caused her to sink into them.

“Dear Brother.”

“I won’t chase you away.”

The youth discovered his feelings for her, so how could he bear to chase her away?

“But you have to think clearly. If you follow me, you won’t have a good life.”

Not to mention the current environment, even if he wanted to do things in the future, the further he went, the more dangerous it would be. He couldn’t say it out loud, but did she really understand?

“I’m not afraid.”

Shi Mengwan hadn’t realized her subtle thoughts yet. She only knew that she didn’t want to leave Dear Brother like this.

“So silly.” Qiao Ze looked at her and felt that the girl was a little silly.

Shi Mengwan bit her lip and suddenly put down the T-shirt in her hand. She reached out and hugged Qiao Ze. “Dear Brother, I want to follow you. I don’t want to go back.”

Even though their life was actually quite tough now, even if she didn’t have anything here, she had a big brother.

She did not have an older brother in the past. Although father Shi treated her well, that feeling was different.

Shi Mengwan’s slender body was soft, and there was the faint fragrance characteristic of a young girl on her body.

The young man’s ears quietly turned red. He almost didn’t dare to look at the young girl. “If you don’t want to go back, then don’t go back.”

He said these simple words with an especially stiff tone.

Shi Mengwan didn’t notice it. She only felt happy because the young man didn’t chase her away. What was the reason for that happiness? She was still too young, so she didn’t know at this moment.

..

Shi Mengwan opened her eyes and felt a hand on her waist.

The dlanket had slid down quite a bit, but she couldn’t feel the cold. She didn’t know when the heater had switched on in the room.

She looked up and saw Zhan Haoze still sleeping with his eyes closed in front of her.

She thought about her dream just now. The young man had a thin but strong chest. She hugged him. He was still a thin and weak young man, but he gave her a sense of security.

She raised her head to look at Zhan Haoze. The feeling he gave her was the same, but she didn’t know whether this feeling was only for her or for other women as well.

She knew that this was because she was different from him.

She gently removed his hand and Shi Mengwan got up to go to the bathroom.

Before she left home, Shi Mengwan was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to take care of herself in Lin City alone, so she asked her to bring a lot of food over.

Among them were dumplings and wontons that Shi Mengwan had personally made. They were all frozen and packed. If she was too lazy to cook in the future, she could just cook them directly.

Shi Mengwan took a look and decided to cook wontons. She was very handy when it came to doing these things, and it was done very quickly.

When Zhan Haoze came out of the room, he saw two sets of wontons, one big and one small, on the table.

Shi Mengwan glanced at him. “Let’s eat.”

Her voice was still very calm and without a trace of emotion.

Zhan Haoze sat down opposite her and looked at the wontons in front of him, which were almost twice as big as the one in front of Shi Mengwan.

“You eat. After you eat, I have something to tell you.”

Shi Mengwan felt self-loathing and disgust at herself for being in Zhan Haoze’s arms again.

She felt conflicted. On the one hand, she couldn’t control her emotions, but on the other hand, she felt that it was inappropriate. She was conflicted on both sides, but it was difficult for her.

Zhan Haoze heard her and paused his action of picking up the chopsticks. He glanced at Shi Mengwan, but she lowered her head and didn’t look at him anymore.

Shi Mengwan’s cooking skills were very good, and the wontons she made were very delicious. It was different from the ones sold outside.

Shi Mengwan’s speed was very fast. She had the inspiration yesterday, but the feeling today was still there. She wanted to finish her design in one go.

After the New Year, there was a fashion design competition in France, and she wanted to give it a try.

Although such a competition was almost impossible for a small studio like theirs, her teacher especially admired her and gave her an invitation letter.

Behind the invitation letter was a design. It was first sent to the other party’s competition organizing committee, and then the competition organizing committee would pick out the shortlisted designs from these works.

If they were shortlisted, they would have a chance. There was still a month before the submission of the initial works of the competition. Shi Mengwan wanted to send the works that she had thought of yesterday to the competition.

She had something on her mind, so she ate quickly. After finishing the wonton in front of her, she found that Zhan Haoze was still eating.

She put down the bowl, sat up straight, and looked at Zhan Haoze with a serious expression.

“Zhan Haoze, after this breakfast, don’t come again.”

Zhan Haoze raised his head and glanced at her. Shi Mengwan didn’t need him to speak, nor did she need him to respond.

“You have Chen Feifei. I don’t want to be a mistress. Everything that happened between us before was wrong.”

“Yes, I admit that I’m also responsible for this matter. But I also paid the price. You didn’t suffer a loss. So that’s it. That’s it. We both know some things, so that’s it.”

When she faced Zhan Haoze, her aura was always a little weaker. She didn’t want to continue like this, she needed to end this mistake.

Zhan Haoze didn’t speak, but listened to her words. He finished the rest of the wontons. He took out a tissue and wiped the corner of his lips.

“I’ve said it before, Chen Feifei isn’t my girlfriend, and she’s not my fiancée.”

“Is that so?”
