Chapter 684 - You Shameless Mistress (1/2)

Shi Mengwan had been living with Qiao Ze for more than a year. Ever since the last time she saw Qiao Ze fight with someone, she had never seen Qiao Ze fight with anyone again.

She knew that Qiao Ze was hiding something from her outside, but she also knew that it was his life. Even if she wanted to change it, she couldn’t do anything about it.

All she had to do was tell herself that she didn’t see it, and she could treat it as if Qiao Ze was living a normal life outside.

They spent the Mid-autumn Festival, the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival, and the Dragon Boat Festival together. They spent the hottest summer in Lin City. Shi Mengwan’s studies advanced. She was smart and willing to work hard. Even if she had to stop for half a semester, she wouldn’t be unable to keep up.

In the blink of an eye, it was the National Day again. After the National Day, it was the Mid-autumn Festival.

After Shi Mengwan and the youth lived together, the two of them slowly lived began a more decent life.

Shi Mengwan went to school during the day, tidied up the house and did her homework at night. The youth went out during the day and returned home at night. Shi Mengwan did her homework, and he read.

Shi Mengwan once thought that because the youth had always been a gangster outside, he couldn’t read much.

However, the young man only read history books and biographies of famous people.

In the narrow living room, the two of them sat under the lights while each doing their own things.

The two of them had been sleeping on the same bed at night ever since last year’s cold weather. Until summer, no one said they wanted to change places.

Shi Mengwan actually slept very well, but it was very strange. Every time before she slept, her back was facing the young man, so the two of them maintained a certain distance.

But when she woke up in the morning, she would definitely be in the youth’s arms.

The youth’s hand was placed on her shoulder, and forming a protective posture, he wrapped her in his arms.

At the beginning, Shi Mengwan would still feel awkward and embarrassed, but as time passed, she didn’t feel humiliated anymore.

Especially after a thunderstorm night. The weather that day was special, and it thundered. Thunder accompanied by lightning made the entire Lin City fall into darkness.

By midnight, the electricity had stopped. Shi Mengwan was afraid. She reflexively went to seek the youth’s embrace.

The youth held her in his arms and covered her ears with his hands. “Sleep, I’m here.”

“Big Brother.”

“I’ll accompany you.” The youth had already tried his voice during the voice change phase, and it was a little hoarse. “Don’t be afraid.”

She pressed her face tightly against the young man’s chest. At one point, his heartbeat suppressed the sound of thunder outside.

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

He had the power to calm people’s hearts, and she liked being so close to him. From then on, Shi Mengwan no longer turned her back on the young man and fell asleep.

Unknowingly, the relationship between the two of them became even closer.

Since National Day was coming, Shi Mengwan’s school was going to be on a seven-day break. She wondered if she could go out and play with Qiao Ze for two days.

She had been in Lin City for so long, but other than that time when she went out to watch the fireworks party, she hadn’t really gone anywhere to play.

The youth didn’t object to her suggestion. Qin Mountain was in Lin City. It was famous for having a huge rock that looked like a zither on it.

Shi Mengwan had heard of it before. Some of her classmates were from the vicinity.

This was the first time she had gone out with a teenager, much less to a scenic spot in the city. Shi Mengwan was also very happy.

She had asked her classmates in advance how to get there. She took a few buses to go there.

On National Day, she had prepared some snacks and drinks and went out with the teenager.

The scenery of was was beautiful. Other than the huge rock that looked like a zither, there were also a few other amazing scenes. At that time, the two of them didn’t have a camera, so they couldn’t take any photos.

However, Shi Mengwan smiled very happily and was very satisfied.

Her stamina wasn’t good, so she was extremely tired after climbing the mountain for a short while.

When the youth went down the mountain, he saw the sweat on her forehead. He turned around and motioning for her to get on his back, he bent down.

Shi Mengwan wasn’t willing. “I’m very heavy. I can walk on my own. Dear Brother, let’s go.”

The youth didn’t just move. He lowered his body and insisted that Shi Mengwan come up.

Shi Mengwan was helpless. In the end, she got on the youth’s back. During National Day, there were quite a number of people on the mountain. The youth carried Shi Mengwan on his back, but his footsteps were very steady.

When they came down from the mountain, the two of them waited for a long time, but there was no bus. After discussing with Qiao Ze, Shi Mengwan and Qiao Ze decided to walk two stops first and go to a place where there was a bus.

The two of them had just walked one stop when they realized that they might have taken the wrong road. There was still a distance to the real foot of the mountain.

By the time they reacted, there were already a few people blocking their way in front of them.

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

The youth looked at those people and narrowed his eyes.

“Kid, your followers aren’t by your side today, right? I want to see what you can do today.”

Qiao Ze shielded Shi Mengwan behind him and looked at those people in front of him. The corners of his lips curled up in a mocking smile.

He turned around and looked at Shi Mengwan. “Go over there and hide. I’ll be right there.”

Shi Mengwan was afraid and couldn’t help but grab the hem of the youth’s clothes. Indicating that she shouldn’t be afraid, Qiao Ze patted her hand.

She quickly ran to the side and hid behind a tree.

There seemed to be eight people, but the youth was all by himself. Shi Mengwan was extremely worried.

However, the youth was fighting against eight people by himself. He wasn’t afraid of the punches and kicks that were thrown at him. He countered each and every one of them.

Shi Mengwan’s heart was hanging by a thread as she watched the youth counter-attack. She had also taken quite a number of hits.

Her eyes were red. The youth’s combative skills were accumulated from actual combat. His punches hit their flesh and directly hit their vitals.

Three or four people had already been beaten to the ground by him. The remaining people became angrier and their counter-attacks became more powerful.

The youth wasn’t paying attention and took a few more hits on his body. Shi Mengwan was getting more and more worried.

But at this moment, a few more people appeared out of nowhere. Those people were different from those hooligans from before. Each of them was carrying a club and a steel pipe that was as thick as a thumb.

Shi Mengwan’s eyes widened as she watched the group of people rush towards Qiao Ze and start fighting.

Qiao Ze was able to hold on for a while at first, but after being hit by the club a few times on his hands and body, he started to stagger.

Shi Mengwan knew that she would only cause trouble if she went over, but when she saw someone swing that long steel pipe towards Qiao Ze’s head, she couldn’t help but shout out loud.

“Dear Brother, be careful.”

Her shout made Qiao Ze avoid that hit, but it also made the others notice her direction. Soon, a few hooligans rushed towards her.

Qiao Ze was anxious. Without thinking, he ran towards her direction. But there were too many people and they surrounded him. He couldn’t come over for a while.

Shi Mengwan picked up the stones on the ground and threw them at them when they rushed towards her.

But she was young and didn’t have much strength, except for one piece, the rest were all empty hits. The hooligan who was hit by her was furious. He rushed towards Shi Mengwan and threw a punch.

That punch was blocked by Qiao Ze, who rushed towards her. Qiao Ze protected her behind him. When the other party rushed up, he pushed her and told her to run.

At this time, where could Shi Mengwan run to? In her anger, she picked up the wooden stick that had fallen to the ground and swung it wildly.

That kind of unorganized fighting was completely useless. She was quickly surrounded by a few hooligans.

The youth desperately tried to run in her direction, but it was useless. Shi Mengwan was still beaten up.

Shi Mengwan was a little girl. How had she ever been beaten up? Her body was knocked back a few steps and she fell to the ground.

The remaining hooligans weren’t people who took pity on women. They swung their sticks at Shi Mengwan. At first, she could still protect her head with her hands.

But then she was hit on the head, she fainted. She tried her best to tell Dear Brother to run, but another stick hit her head. She completely lost the ability to resist.

The youth wanted to rush over, but a small thug took out a knife and stabbed at the youth.

“Dear Brother –” Shi Mengwan was burning with anxiety. She tried her best to save Dear Brother, but it was useless. She was hit on the head again, and she began to feel dizzy.

Before she fainted, she saw that Dear Brother dodged the knife, but he didn’t dodge the steel pipe from a small thug behind him. His body also fell down.

“Dear Brother –”

She wanted to scream, but she couldn’t. She could only let the darkness take over her consciousness.

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

Beside her were Father Shi and Mother Shi, who were worried. They had been looking for her for more than a year. They even posted her on the missing persons website.

She was clearly in Lin City, but her parents didn’t know.

She didn’t know how she got to the hospital. Later, she heard that someone had called the police. When the police arrived, she was already there. Other than her, there were also a few injured hooligans.

Shi Mengwan was rescued by the police and brought to the hospital. The police found her parents and informed the Shi couple to come and pick her up.

When she woke up, it had been three days since she was attacked that day.

She asked her parents where her Dear Brother was? But no one knew where her Dear Brother was. The police even said that there was no such person.

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

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

The police even told Shi Mengwan that in Lin City, there was no person called Qiao Ze. She didn’t believe it and asked the police to investigate.

She did find a few people called Qiao Ze, but none of the information matched. She could only ask the police to investigate again, but no one believed her.

She didn’t have a photo and couldn’t find a witness to prove her words. Everyone thought she was just a child and didn’t take her seriously.

After that, she was brought back to town by her parents. She had been begging her parents to let her find her in Lin City, but Lin city was so big and even the police said no, so her parents wouldn’t care.

No one believed her words, and no one listened to her. Even if she wanted to find her in Lin City, no one would help her.

Most importantly, after running away from home, mother Shi was scared by her. Saying that she wouldn’t give birth to a third child, she even ignored the fact that she only had two daughters and ran to get a vasectomy. She used this to beg her not to leave home again.

Shi Mengwan was finally helpless. She could only listen to her parents and no longer thought of running to Lin City to look for her Dear Brother.

However, she couldn’t restrain the longing for Qiao Ze in her heart. Every night, every sunrise, every festival.
