To My Dear Mr. Huo - Chapter 651
Chapter 651: Aren’t You Afraid that They Will Come Looking For You Again?
Shi Mengwan was shocked. Yet this time, she stubbornly met the gaze of the other party.
The youth took a step forward and raised his hand, as if he wanted to hit her. Shi Mengwan shrunk her neck but didn’t run back.
The youth’s hand clenched into a fist before he retracted it and continued forward.
Shi Mengwan followed behind him. She looked at the youth but didn’t know why she wasn’t afraid of him at all.
“Why did those people beat you up?”
“…” The young man ignored her.
“You seem to be seriously injured. Do you want to see a doctor?”
“…” the young man walked faster. Shi Mengwan had no choice but to speed up as well.
“Where are your parents? Don’t they care about you?”
“…”
“Where are you going now? Aren’t you afraid that those people will come looking for you again?”
“Shut up.”
The youth finally couldn’t take it anymore and turned around. He glared at Shi Mengwan fiercely. “Don’t follow me.”
Shi Mengwan bit her lip. Then, as the youth continued to walk forward, she once again followed behind him.
The youth walked very fast. He made up his mind to get rid of Shi Mengwan.
Shi Mengwan followed him and ran. She even thought that it was fortunate that the youth was injured. Otherwise, she definitely wouldn’t have been able to catch up.
Yes, the young man’s leg seemed to be injured and he couldn’t walk fast.
He ran for a long distance and when he realized that he couldn’t shake off Shi Mengwan, so he finally gave up.
He did not take another detour. Instead, he directly walked into an extremely small alley. Then, he found one of the doors with familiarity and pushed the door open to enter.
Shi Mengwan stood at the door for quite a while. Upon seeing that the young man had no intention of closing the door, she followed him in.
The house was very small. She could almost see the entire layout at a single glance.
There was a small living room with a room inside. On the right was the kitchen and bathroom. There was nothing else.
The living room was very small. There was an extremely shabby fabric sofa. The original color could no longer be seen.
The coffee table in front of the sofa was also missing a corner. There was an open medicine box on it.
The youth took out bandages and ointment to treat his wounds.
The most serious part of his injury was his hand. With his only one hand, he wouldn’t be able to apply good medicine on himself.
Looking at the youth’s overly clumsy movements. Shi Mengwan went forward and sat down beside him. She took the ointment from his hand.
“Let me help you,”she said.
“Do you know how to do it?”
“No.”
Shi Mengwan shook her head honestly. “However, I’ve seen the veterinarian near our house bandaging the dog’s wound.”
She felt the youth’s face instantly turn gloomy. She jumped in fright, and her hand that was holding the ointment shrank.
“You’re cursing me?”
The youth was young, but he was full of hostility. Shi Mengwan had never seen such a person before. She shook her head rapidly.
The young man didn’t speak again. Shi Mengwan could finally begin to treat his wounds.
She was clumsy. After all, she had never done such a thing before. The young man kept gritting his teeth, as if he was enduring something.
After more than half an hour, she finally managed to treat all the wounds on the young man’s body.
The other parts of the young man’s body all had superficial wounds. The more serious ones were one his feet and elbows. After she finished bandaging him, she realized that she had wrapped the wounds up in a very ugly manner. For a moment, her face was filled with guilt. Fortunately, the young man didn’t mind.
After the wounds were wrapped up, the young man stood up and walked towards the kitchen. He looked around, as if he was looking for something to eat.
However, he discovered that the kitchen was empty. The young man’s expression became even uglier.
Shi Mengwan seemed to know what he was thinking. When she recalled the scene of him gobbling up bread, she looked at him very quietly.
“You, are you still hungry? Do you want to eat something? I’ll go buy it for you?”
The youth’s malicious gaze landed on her once again. Shi Mengwan shrunk her neck. She took out a few bills from her pocket. They were the only ones left after she bought the bus ticket.
The youth looked at the money in her hand. This time, he stood up without hesitation and took it.
“You stay here and don’t run around.”
The youth’s voice was changing, so his voice was actually a little unpleasant. With his face filled with hostility, most people might feel afraid.
However, Shi Mengwan didn’t feel afraid. Strangely, she kept believing that the youth wouldn’t hurt her. After the young man left, she took a look at the house and tidied it up.
Actually, there was nothing much to tidy up. This place was too shabby and old. There was nothing at all.
However, she was the eldest daughter of her family. She was used to doing these things.
Not long after she tidied up, the young man returned with two servings of stir-fried rice noodles in his hands.
Later, Shi Mengwan found out that the alley went in all directions. There were many places to go and many places sold food. Although the stir-fried rice noodles was from a street vendor, the taste was very good and it was very cheap.
Shi Mengwan had just eaten a loaf of bread and a serving of rice noodles. She only ate half of it and couldn’t eat anymore.
When she put down her chopsticks, she clearly felt the young man’s gaze fall on her, as if he was dissatisfied with her wasting food.
Shi Mengwan’s appetite wasn’t big to begin with. Although she came from a small place, her family’s business had been doing quite well in the past few years, and her family’s financial conditions weren’t bad either. Speaking of which, she really hadn’t suffered much.
The youth finished his portion of the stir-fried rice noodles. He silently took the remaining half of Shi Mengwan’s portion and finished it as well.
Shi Mengwan felt a little embarrassed for some reason. The youth didn’t seem to notice her reaction.
He finished the stir-fried rice noodles in a few seconds. Without taking a shower, he directly went inside to lie down on the bed.
Feeling somewhat at a loss, Shi Mengwan sat on the small sofa outside. She wanted to say, ‘You haven’t even brushed your teeth and washed your face. Isn’t sleeping like that dirty?’
She sat there waiting for a long time, but the youth seemed to have really fallen asleep. At this moment, Shi Mengwan stood up and took small steps towards the bathroom.
There was only a cup and a toothbrush there. Shi Mengwan had slight O.C.D, so she couldn’t bring herself to use someone else’s toothbrush.
She could only rinse her mouth with water and then wash her face with a handful of water. After tidying herself up, she looked at herself.
She didn’t have any extra clothes or money. The remaining tens of yuan had been given to that youth just now.
She felt that she was a little silly and should have kept a few yuan. She didn’t know what she was thinking just now. She gave all the money to him on impulse.
Now, without a watch, she couldn’t calculate the time. Shi Mengwan was sleepy, so she thought about it for a while and finally curled up her feet on the shabby sofa. She fell asleep just like that.
..
Someone knocked on the car window and interrupted Shi Mengwan’s memories. Shi Mengwan stopped the car. She found that the traffic police was cracking down on drunk drivers. She took out her driver’s license and cooperatively blew on it.
The traffic police glanced at Zhan Haoze, who was sitting next to the driver’s seat. Finally, he waved his hand and signaled Shi Mengwan to leave.
Shi Mengwan’s car drove away from the intersection, and she found that Zhan Haoze had actually woken up.
The two of them didn’t speak, and Shi Mengwan realized that her apartment wasn’t far ahead. She actually brought Zhan Haoze home without realizing it.
Shi Mengwan’s apartment was very close to her studio, and this location wasn’t cheap. Fortunately, the studio’s income these few years was good.
After she made money in the studio, she borrowed some money from Su Qingsang to buy this small apartment. Although Su Qingsang was an illegitimate daughter, the Su family wasn’t stingy when it came to money.
She had her own apartment since a long time ago, and every year, Su Chenghui gave her pocket money. When she found out that Shi Mengwan wanted to buy an apartment, Su Qingsang generously lent all her money to her.
Shi Mengwan had been desperately drawing for the past few years and had paid back the money she owed Su Qingsang. She had also saved some money.
Two rooms and a living room. Even though it was small, it was quite complete. Although it couldn’t compare to the Su family’s mansion, it was still something she had bought herself.
One of the two rooms was used as the master bedroom, and the other was used as the study and design room. When she had inspiration, she had to have a complete set of drawing tools in front of her.
The living room wasn’t big, but it had a large balcony. Looking out from here, one could see the landmark buildings of Lin City in the distance, as well as the large patch of greenery under the residential area.
Overall, Shi Mengwan was very satisfied with her current situation. She was still young, but she had her own studio, house, and car.
She entered the door silently. Shi Mengwan didn’t welcome Zhan Haoze, but went to the cabinet in the living room to take out the medicine box.
Zhan Haoze stood in the living room, as if he was sizing up the environment in front of him.
Shi Mengwan glanced at him and sat down on the sofa. Zhan Haoze took a few steps forward and sat down as well.
The house was warm and cozy. The sofa in the corner wasn’t big, but it was very comfortable to sit on.
Shi Mengwan opened the medicine box and gesturing for him to take out his hand, she glanced at Zhan Haoze.
He was wearing a light-colored shirt today. The blood had stained the shirt and was already stuck to his flesh.
Shi Mengwan’s expression wasn’t too good. Everything in front of her was developing into a strange turn of events.
She had a momentary illusion that the person in front of her was her Dear Brother. She even suggested sending him to the hospital, but in the end, she brought this man home.
She skillfully cut open the man’s sleeve and looked at the wound on it.
Fortunately, it wasn’t very serious. If he needed stitches, he would really have to go to the hospital.
Her movements were very skillful. It seemed as if she had practiced it specially.
Speaking of which, her bandaging skills were like this because she had bandaged her Dear Brother’s wounds too many times.
She thought of that brazen and unruly youth again. She met him during that time he was beaten up. After that, he would fight from time to time and get injured from time to time.
From the beginning, she was clumsy. Later on, she became extremely skilled at treating his wounds.
When she realized that she had linked Zhan Haoze and Dear Brother together again, Shi Mengwan’s expression didn’t look too good.
They weren’t the same person, they weren’t the same person. She kept reminding herself to keep herself rational.
She moved very quickly and the wounds on Zhan Haoze’s hands were quickly bandaged. She looked at Zhan Haoze’s face again.
His face was well-defined, and his tan skin was smooth and tight. It seemed that his fighting skills had improved.
After all, every time he was beaten up in the past, his face would be bruised.
She was looking at Zhan Haoze, and Zhan Haoze was also looking at her. He seemed to be able to tell that Shi Mengwan was a little absent-minded.
Zhan Haoze looked at his arm, then at Shi Mengwan’s confused gaze, and his eyes darkened a little.
