To My Dear Mr. Huo

Shi Mengwan's dumplings are mostly filled. She makes dumplings very quickly.

It's strange that in all these years, she has never learned how to roll out dumpling wrappers. Never will.

At home, Shi’s mother rolls out the dough, and all she has to do is wrap it. She was afraid of trouble when she went out, not to mention that there were ready-made dumpling wrappers for sale now.

"You're back? You can eat right away."

The kitchen is small and some functions cannot be used, so Shi Mengwan makes dumplings on the dining table.

I mixed a big pot of stuffing, and now it's two-thirds full.

Zhan Haoze stepped forward and looked at Shi Mengwan's movements. She has a pair of very beautiful hands, with slender jade fingers and round roots.

She makes dumplings very quickly, which is very pleasing to the eye. Zhan Haoze pulled out the chair in front of the dining table and sat there watching Shi Mengwan make dumplings.

Shi Mengwan felt uncomfortable when he saw her, and her hand movements stopped for a moment.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Zhan Haoze didn't speak, she pursed her lips and said, "Can you do it? Why don't you come and help?"

"I won't."

The three words were faint, and the voice was slightly low. Shi Mengwan knew that he wouldn't, so she stopped looking at him.

Wrap all the dumplings very neatly and put them away. Then he went into the kitchen to boil water.

While waiting for the water to boil, she found the bacon and sausages that Shi's mother asked her to bring to Linshi before she came back. She calculated the portions, cut them, and then started to stir-fry two vegetables.

When she was taking the dishes out of the pot, she realized that Zhan Haoze had been staring at her at the door.

Shi Mengwan raised the corners of her lips slightly: "Wait a minute, the dumplings will be ready soon."

As she spoke, she handed one of the dishes to Zhan Haoze: "Please take it out."

Zhan Haoze didn't expect that she would let him serve the food. He stared at the food in her hand for a few seconds and finally stretched out his hand.

"And this." Shi Mengwan smiled and glanced at the cooking table.

Zhan Haoze put the dishes on the table outside. Shi Mengwan looked at the dumplings and saw that they were ready to be cooked. She took out the dumplings and brought them to the table outside.

"Okay, bring me two bowls."

Zhan Haoze had already sat down. Because of Shi Mengwan's words, he glanced at her and finally got up to get the bowl.

There was a faint smile in Shi Mengwan's eyes. Some things require a sense of participation.

This is her home, and Zhan Haoze is now her man. She always wanted him to have some sense of involvement.

There are many things that two people need to do together to enhance their relationship. She hopes that the relationship between two people can be improved outside the bed, instead of only in bed every time they communicate.

Seeing Zhan Haoze sitting down with a bowl, Shi Mengwan poured dumplings into his bowl.

"How about giving it a try?"

Zhan Haoze tasted one, looked up at her and nodded.

Shi Mengwan's eyes suddenly turned red because of his reaction, but this time, she controlled it and did not let herself lose her composure.

She lowered her head and ate the dumplings quietly.

"My mother made this. So did this."

In fact, when she was with her elder brother, Shi Mengwan also thought about getting some new year's goods. It's just that she was really too young at the time and couldn't do it.

She couldn't do it now, but she could give him a taste of her mother's cooking.

Shi Mengwan made a lot of dumplings. Only half cooked. She puts the rest in the freezer so she can cook it next time she wants to eat it.

And all the food she cooked went into Zhan Haoze's stomach. She really had to sigh that he had such a good appetite.

After dinner, Shi Mengwan tidied up the kitchen. When he came out, he was pulled by Zhan Haoze and sat down on the sofa.

His hands clasped her waist and held her in his arms. Shi Mengwan felt a little uncomfortable. She was too full, and Zhan Haoze's actions made her feel dangerous.

"Zhan Haoze, how about we go for a walk?"

Grabbing his hand away, Shi Mengwan really didn't want to do such exercise right after eating, it was too tiring.

"We were too full after eating at night. We should go for a walk to digest our food, don't you think?"

Zhan Haoze's hand was still on her waist. Shi Mengwan was not sure that she would agree to his request, but no matter what, he had to give it a try.

"Let's go. Going for a walk?"

Zhan Haoze stood up, and Shi Mengwan was happy. She went to get her coat. She had already gone out today, and her coat was hanging at the entrance.

She took the keys and mobile phone and put them in her pocket, looking at Zhan Haoze with shining eyes.

After going downstairs, Shi Mengwan felt a little regretful. The sun was out during the day, and the temperature in Lin City was not bad, and she could bear it.

But it is night now, Lin City is close to the sea, the wind is strong and the temperature is low.

A gust of wind blew over, and Shi Mengwan couldn't bear it anymore.

"It's so cold."

Why is it so cold? She thought the weather forecast said it would cool down again, but she didn't expect it to be so cold.

She reached out and rubbed her palms. Just before he wanted to put his hand back in his pocket, Zhan Haoze reached out to hold her hand and put her hand into his pocket.

His hands were big, wrapping hers tightly.

Shi Mengwan had a moment of dazzle. Looking at Zhan Haoze's profound profile, she bit her lip and felt uncontrollable joy in her heart.

She knew that her big brother was like this.

He brought his face close to Zhan Haoze's arm and rubbed it. The smile on Shi Mengwan's face became even brighter.

Zhan Haoze felt her movement and turned his face to look at her. He didn't say much, but the expression on his face softened a lot.

…………

The next day, it started to rain in Lin City. When Zhan Haoze left the company, he received a call from Chen Yongchang, saying that something had happened to Chen Feifei.

When Zhan Haoze rushed back to Chen's house, the doctor had just left.

Chen Feifei was lying on the bed, looking pale. Chen Yongchang stood aside, his face full of concern.

"Uncle." Zhan Haoze looked at Chen Yongchang, his eyes falling on Chen Feifei's face: "Is Feifei okay?"

"She has a chronic problem, you don't know that."

When Chen Yongchang spoke, he glanced at Zhan Haoze: "You haven't come back these days. Feifei misses you so much. She ran out to look for you, but you also know that the temperature dropped yesterday. Feifei is not in good health. If it rains, something is wrong."

Zhan Haoze didn't speak, but Chen Feifei on the bed glanced at her father at this moment.

"Dad, don't blame Brother Hao. It's not like Brother Hao didn't come to see me on purpose. You obviously know that Brother Hao is busy with work."

"Feifei, you..." Chen Yongchang looked at his daughter with a confused expression. It seems very helpless that his daughter always regards Zhan Haoze as more important than him.

"Haoze." Chen Yongchang looked at Zhan Haoze: "Originally, I didn't blame you for this. But Feifei is very weak now, so you should stay with her."

While talking, Chen Yongchang walked out.

The room became quiet, and only Zhan Haoze and Chen Feifei were left.

After Chen Yongchang left, Chen Feifei stretched out her hand to stretch Haoze's hand.

"Brother Hao, dad is too worried about me. It has nothing to do with you. Don't be angry."

"I'm not angry." Zhan Haoze was about to take his hand out, but Chen Feifei held it tightly: "Brother Hao, are you really not angry?"

Her face was full of uneasiness at this time, as if she was really afraid that Zhan Haoze would be angry.

Zhan Haoze pursed his lips into a straight line and shook his head gently.

Chen Feifei was satisfied, with an extremely gentle smile on her face. Her hand was always holding his tightly.

"Brother Hao, what have you been busy with these days? I miss you so much. When I call you, you always say you have something to do. When I go to your company, I can't find anyone. Do you know that I am really worried about you?"

"The company has a lot of things going on."

Zhan Haoze looked at Chen Feifei and couldn't hold back his hand.

"No matter how much work there is in the company, you still have to pay attention to your health. Just look at me and you will know. I have been a sick child since I was a child. Now that I have grown up, not only can't I help you, but I will also tire you out."

"It's nothing." Zhan Haoze's voice was very cold. His coldness didn't just start today.

Ever since Chen Feifei rescued Zhan Haoze and brought him home, he has always been like this.

But the more Zhan Haoze behaves like this, the more Chen Feifei can't stop, always thinking about getting Zhan Haoze.

"Brother Hao, please stop comforting me. I know you have always thought that I am a burden, so you are unwilling to tell me about the company or outside matters. But Brother Hao, I really like you. .”

Chen Feifei's eyes were fixedly looking at Zhan Haoze, and it could be clearly seen in those eyes that they were all about him.

"I know."

Chen Feifei bit her lip, still a little hurt by Zhan Haoze's reaction: "Brother Hao, what about you? Do you like me?"

Zhan Haoze frowned and watched Chen Feifei withdraw her hand: "You are not in good health, please rest early."

"Brother Hao?" Chen Feifei took his hand again and looked up at him with eyes full of pleading: "Do you hate me?"

"Don't think too much, it's nothing."

"Then why don't you come back to stay with me? You said you would take care of me."

"Feifei." Zhan Haoze didn't have a cold face this time: "In my heart, you are almost like my sister."

"But, but..."

"Okay, it's getting late, you can rest."

Zhan Haoze patted her shoulder, then turned and left. Chen Feifei almost changed her face after he left.

Who wants to be his sister? Who is going to be his sister? What she always wanted to be was his woman, not his sister.

Chen Feifei looked at the bedside lamp placed beside the bed and swept it down without thinking.

The room is well soundproofed and has thick carpets. No matter how loud she makes, no one will hear her.

Not counting the smashed bedside lamp, Chen Feifei threw away everything around her that could be smashed or thrown.

It wasn't until he was out of breath and exhausted that he called the servants to tidy up the house.

The Chen family's servants have long been accustomed to Chen Feifei having an attack from time to time. I packed my things silently and put new ones in. In a short time, even the carpet was replaced.

The room was just as it was before Zhan Haoze came in, with no trace of damage.

Zhan Haoze went downstairs and met Chen Yongchang. He waved when he saw him. The two of them went to the Chen family's study in tandem again.

"Haoze has been busy recently?"

"It's okay." Zhan Haoze's voice was calm and calm.

"You haven't been in the company these days, and the company's affairs have put a lot of pressure on you. You see, I'm getting older now, and I can't keep up with my energy. You still have to spend more time on official matters in the future."

"Yes, I understand."

"Speaking of which, I'm almost old enough to retire. Look, how about you take over the Chen family?"

Zhan Haoze lowered his eyes with his usual expressionless face: "I'm afraid this isn't appropriate, is it?"

"There's nothing inappropriate. After you and Feifei get married, won't all the Chen family belong to you?"

Zhan Haoze didn't respond, but Chen Yongchang sighed at this moment: "Haoze, I also know that you don't want to marry Feifei. But Feifei is my only daughter. She really likes you, and I can't Let her suffer."

"uncle."

"I also know that for so many years, you only regarded Feifei as your sister. There is no relationship between men and women. But she is not in good health and she was spoiled by me. I don't feel comfortable leaving it to others. After thinking about it, I can only You are suitable."

Seeing that Zhan Haoze remained silent, the expression on Chen Yongchang's face became more and more sad: "Haoze, you can't forget your roots. If our family hadn't taken you in, sent you to school, and given you the best conditions, How can you achieve such an achievement today? You don’t want to be successful and just abandon Feifei, right? "

"Uncle, I said, I treat Feifei as my sister, and I will do my best to take care of her."

"What kind of care can be more useful than marrying her and spending her life with her?"

Seeing that Zhan Haoze was still about to speak, he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay. You must be tired today. Go and rest. As for the wedding, I will let someone choose a good day. Anyway, you are all too We understand, we are all familiar with each other. If you need time, get engaged first and then get married."

"uncle--"

"Okay, I still have business to deal with. You can go back to your room and rest first."

Chen Yongchang didn't listen to Zhan Haoze and dismissed him with a wave of his hand. Zhan Haoze looked at Chen Yongchang for a while, then took a step back and left the study.

Before going back to the room, I saw the maid coming down from upstairs carrying two large garbage bags.

Zhan Haoze stood there and waited until the servant left before he went upstairs again.

…………

Shi Mengwan was shocked when she received Xiao Qi's call.

"Hello."

"Hello, Mengwan." Xiao Qi's voice seemed to be very pleasant: "Is your cold better?"

"Okay. Thank you for your concern." It wasn't a cold at first, but Shi Mengwan couldn't say this: "Are you okay?"

"That's good, I also said I would come to see you."

"No need." Shi Mengwan answered a little quickly. She looked at the time and saw that Zhan Haoze hadn't come back yet. She had already prepared the food.

"That's a pity." Xiao Qi thought for a while: "Mengwan, I didn't finish the movie that day. Do you think you have time recently?"

"I may not have time recently." Shi Mengwan bit her lip: "My studio has received new orders recently and is a bit busy."

"That's it." Xiao Qi nodded: "How about having a meal together?"

"Xiao Qi——"

"Look, you are very busy and don't have time to watch movies. Then you have to have time to eat, right? Before I came, my aunt told me that you are not very good at taking care of yourself. Look, you can't let me be a burden. Isn’t it Auntie’s commission?”

Shi Mengwan bit her lip, and after thinking about it, she decided to agree to him. At least she should make it clear to him.

"That's it. Let's make an appointment to meet at noon tomorrow."

"good."

Xiao Qi was satisfied, and after a few more words of concern for her, he told her to take good care of herself and then hung up the phone.

Shi Mengwan sat down and took out her cell phone to call Zhan Haoze. But after calling for a long time, no one answered.

She looked at the table of dishes, and her previous good mood seemed to suddenly disappear.

She felt very happy these days. Zhan Haoze has always been here to accompany her.

During the day, she stayed at home and drew pictures, while Zhan Haoze went to work.

In the evening they ate together, walked and had sex together. Zhan Haoze is much gentler than before, at least he no longer takes pleasure in tossing her, and she can also get happiness from that thing.

When her body merged with Zhan Haoze's, she felt satisfied, not only in her body, but also in her heart.

That was the big brother she longed to find. That was the person she had always liked and loved.

Looking at the darkened screen, Shi Mengwan sent another message to Zhan Haoze. Without any unnecessary words, she just asked him if he would come back for dinner. This time Zhan Haoze responded.

"I have something to do today. You eat first."

Putting down her phone, Shi Mengwan felt a headache looking at the dishes on the table, and there was also a hint of almost invisible loss and loneliness.

………

The next day, Shi Mengwan arrived at the place agreed with Xiao Qi in advance.

She was always afraid of the cold, so today she was wearing a thick khaki coat and a scarf of the same color. The whole person looks plump.

She thought she had arrived early, but she didn't expect Xiao Qi to be earlier than her.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"No, I arrived early."

Xiao Qi stood up and pulled out a chair for Shi Mengwan. This move made Shi Mengwan a little uncomfortable. She took a step back and looked at Xiao Qi.

"I will do it myself."

"Can't you give me a chance to serve a beautiful woman?"

this person……

Shi Mengwan really didn't know what she could say, so she sat down without any further refusal. The indoor air conditioner was very hot, so she took off her coat and put it aside.

"Do all fashion designers know how to dress like you?"

Xiao Qi looked at her clothes underneath, with obvious admiration in his eyes. Shi Mengwan looked at herself and cleared her throat: "Thank you. I think so."

"But I think you must be the best at dressing up." Xiao Qi whispered: "After all, they can't be as beautiful as you."

"Thanks."

Shi Mengwan was a little uncomfortable with his praise. The waiter brought the menu just at this time, and Xiao Qi asked Shi Mengwan to order first in a very graceful manner.

After ordering the food, Shi Mengwan looked at Xiao Qi and was thinking about how best to talk to him.

Xiao Qi poured her a cup of hot tea at this moment: "It's cold outside, you have a cup of tea first."

"Thanks."

Frankly speaking, Xiao Qi is really a very good marriage partner. No matter which aspect it is suitable for.

But that’s the way this world is, you may not like the person who is suitable for you.

"Xiao Qi. Last time, I was going to introduce my situation, but I didn't finish it. I think I'd better tell you."

Her serious attitude made Xiao Qi become a little serious.

"Yeah. You say."

"I want to say that we are actually not suitable."

"Why? Is there something wrong with me?" Xiao Qi asked instinctively. After asking, I realized that I seemed too narcissistic: "Sorry, I just think that I think I have good conditions, so I think you can give it a try."

Shi Mengwan shook her head: "The problem is not with you, but with me."

She picked up the cup with both hands and held it in her hands, feeling the slightly scalding heat sobering her up.

"I have a favorite person."

"..." This time Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment: "Do you have someone you like?"

"yes."

"Then why did you come on a blind date?" He didn't think Shi Mengwan was like one of those women who have two legs.

"Because my parents don't know, and even if they knew, they might object."

"That's it."

He didn't say more, but Xiao Qi seemed to understand: "Is it true that the person you like cannot agree to your family's conditions, so your parents object?"

Shi Mengwan knew that it wasn't that reason, but since Xiao Qi determined it this way, she didn't want to explain it anymore.

Her silence was acquiescence, and Xiao Qi nodded: "I understand. The person you like doesn't want to get married, and your parents object?"

Come to think of it, most men, especially now that many of them are only children, would agree to such a condition as marrying into their family.

"Mengwan, we also know each other. I think, if possible, you should do some ideological work to understand your parents. That would be better."

"I thank you, but no need. Some things are not as simple as you think."

Shi Mengwan hasn't told her family or Zhan Haoze about this matter yet. She was not sure whether Zhan Haoze would agree or agree.

She didn't want to continue talking, and Xiao Qi stopped asking.

The waiter began to serve the food, and the two of them ate in silence. When Xiao Qi put down his bowls and chopsticks, he looked at Shi Mengwan.

"Do you like that person very much?"

"I love him." Shi Mengwan also put down her chopsticks. When she answered these three words, her eyes sparkled, and her whole face was filled with the light of love.

What else does Xiao Qi not understand when he sees this?

"Okay. I understand. I won't bother you again next time."

"sorry, I……"

"It doesn't matter." Xiao Qi was able to take it up and let it go: "But Mengwan, as your friend, I still want to give you some advice. Since you like that man so much, can that man sacrifice something for you? ? I think having a child is not a big deal. Even if the child takes your surname, he will still be his child in the future. This is a fact. Times have changed, so some things don’t need to stick to formalities, what do you think?"

"Thank you, I understand."

"Sorry, I'm too talkative. Anyway, I think if that man really loves you, he will definitely agree to this condition."

Shi Mengwan was silent. After Xiao Qi left, she was still sitting in her seat.

If a man really loves her, will he agree to her terms?

But when that person was Zhan Haoze, why didn't she have any confidence at all?

That night, Zhan Haoze didn't come again. She called him and he said he had something to do. Shi Mengwan hung up the phone, thinking about how to mention this matter the next time she saw Zhan Haoze.

It wasn't until the third day that Shi Mengwan finally saw Zhan Haoze when she went home.

He didn't seem to be any different, but Shi Mengwan could tell from his tightened eyebrows that his mood seemed to be a little low.

"Zhan Haoze?"

Is he okay?

One update, six thousand words. Yue Ma was heartbroken. The rankings on the list will be lost, and the subscriptions will be lost. Now even the recommendation votes have been dropped. . It’s free to post and send love, and there’s also no charge to recommend votes. Is it really okay for you to be such a domineering Yue Mama? Heartbroken! I went to the bathroom and cried for a while.
