Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Huo Zhongshan helped Fang Shi very slowly and gently...
Huo Zhongshan slowly and gently helped Fang Shimian wipe away his tears.
The coldest and hardest ice deep in my heart melted into a pool of water, making my soul scream.
The love I have for this child right in front of me is just too much to mention.
It seemed like there was no way not to love him.
Such a person is so wonderful, with a soft and clean soul, and a warm and sincere heart.
Those tear-soaked eyes looked at him like this. There seemed to be no one in this world who could refuse him.
Huo Zhongshan took off his shirt, revealing a large, winding burn covering his chest and abdomen, with red growths that looked horrific.
Just like a stream of magma flowing on a volcano, it never stops boiling until today.
The man looked down and said, "It's ugly."
He even reached out his hand to cover Fang Shimian's eyes.
The outstretched hand was grabbed and held up halfway.
Through the touch of his fingertips, he felt that the boy holding his hands was trembling.
To be loved, to be hurt, to be cared for.
At this moment, it finally became concrete from nothingness.
It turns out that he really possesses these.
Fang Shimian shed tears as he slowly traced the uneven red color with his fingertips.
That was not an ugly scar that could not be seen, it was Huo Zhongshan's flesh and blood, his pain.
"It hurts so much, brother." Fang Shimian pressed his head against the wounds and cried softly, but it was heartbreaking enough.
It turns out that there are many unloved children in the world.
The dark and tragic past slowly emerged at this moment, and the scarred souls clung to each other tightly, uttering silent moans.
"It's okay, it's all over. I have you, so the pain is gone."
Huo Zhongshan touched Fang Shimian's head. The young man's tears on his hands were hotter than the boiling water that day.
It was like a raging fire that could burn directly into his heart and last forever.
After Huo Zhongshan escaped back home that day, he reappeared in front of Huo Bo holding a scalpel stained with dried blood.
Hopper was talking to Mrs. Hopper in the study. When they saw him appear, Hopper's first reaction was to take out his gun.
But Huo Zhongshan threw away the scalpel and said very calmly: "I am a member of the Huo family and this will never change."
Hopper hesitated for a moment, let go of the gun, and pretended to pick up the document again and look at it without even looking at him.
He still had that unmoved, superior attitude.
Mrs. Huo evaluated and considered him with a scrutinizing look, as if she was checking whether the goods were up to standard.
It was clear that they were no longer willing to accept the return of the rebels.
On the finest golden nanmu desk, there is exquisite and expensive tea set.
The water used to make tea made gurgling sounds, boiling away the affection that had been pretended for more than a decade, revealing a rotten skeleton, which was the true face of this game of power.
If you don't obey, you will be destroyed.
He never really owned anything.
He has never been treated as a human being. If he did not have power, there would definitely not be warmth waiting for him.
In this atmosphere, Huo Zhongshan raised his head and glanced at his parents, and did something that no one expected.
He quickly rushed to the desk, and Mr. Huo stood up suddenly, took a step back and loaded the gun in his hand.
The bodyguard and the butler immediately opened the door and rushed in.
Unexpectedly, Huo Zhongshan picked up the pot of boiling water and poured it on himself without hesitation.
The butler's expression collapsed instantly, and he screamed and rushed forward, overturning the pot of water.
The water that was supposed to splash on his face deviated from its course and landed all over his chest and waist.
"Someone come here!" Mr. Huo's expression was unreadable and he put down the gun in his hand.
It seemed that only then he saw clearly the extreme indifference and rationality on Huo Zhongshan's face. There was no sign of pain on the face of the fifteen-year-old boy.
After a brief shock, he felt incomparable satisfaction, like the craziest person who had found a perfect match.
The successor of the group and the arbiter of its survival should have such courage.
Only such a person can hold the position of the head of the Huo family and be worthy of power.
This was the first time in all these years that Huo Bo felt happy, but he did not show it. Instead, he continued to observe Huo Zhongshan's expression carefully.
If he dared to show any weakness, he would be ruthlessly killed.
If such a person is useless, it would be too dangerous to keep him.
Mrs. Huo stood closer and didn't avoid it, so her hands were also burned. She took the ice cubes handed to her by the servant and trembled with anger, "Mad man!"
There was a chaos and confusion afterwards. Huo Zhongshan said nothing as he watched those people hurriedly tear off their clothes soaked in boiling water, his expression extremely cold.
Afterwards, Huo Zhongshan was withdrawn into a dark study.
Of course Huo Bo would not allow Huo Zhongshan to get treatment. This was the price he had to pay for his rebellion. He firmly believed what the doctor said, that Huo Zhongshan would not get sick and die. The minor burns, scars and pains were all warnings he gave.
Dogs only learn loyalty when they are hurt.
After that, the bodyguards delivered three meals a day on time. In the first two days, he took all the food to the bathroom and threw it away, and couldn't eat anything at all.
The wound became inflamed and ulcerated repeatedly, and Huo Zhongshan was in so much pain that he felt worse than death. The continued high fever left him without the strength to even pour out his food.
On the third day, Huo Yue and his bodyguard came to deliver the meal. Huo Yue sent the bodyguard away with a cold face and threw a small bag of medicine to Huo Zhongshan.
"I know you can make it. These pills will make you feel better."
Huo Zhongshan lay on the bed, looking at Huo Yue without any expression.
"I know what you want, and I won't fight with you." Huo Yue's eyes were very cold, and he used a negotiating tone, "It doesn't matter whether you use this medicine or not. When you get out, don't treat me and Huo Jun as enemies."
Huo Zhongshan closed his eyes and said, "Okay."
The door was closed and locked again. Huo Zhongshan threw away the bag of medicine, slowly sat up, and looked at the windowsill of the study in silence.
Before night fell, the shrill cries of children were heard, but they were suppressed after a moment.
I was sent outside to stand again.
He saw the informer hugging the child very gently, and interestingly, the child trembled even more violently.
It was completely dark, and the child was still not allowed to enter the house. The little guy lay alone at the end of the corridor, silently wiping his tears and looking up at the stars in the sky.
Which one is he looking at?
Are you waiting for the savior to descend from the sky?
Nothing.
Huo Zhongshan watched quietly for a long, long time and thought he was very stupid.
I am stupid too.
After a while, he picked up the bag of medicine in the moonlight, applied a layer of burn ointment, and lay down on the bed to sleep.
That night, Huo Zhongshan had many dreams, which was unusual for him. The crying child was always present in his dreams.
“Woo woo…”
It can perfectly overlap with the crying boy now.
The two young men who were helpless and scarred back then are now hugging each other tightly and licking each other's wounds.
Time takes away the distance.
Guide him to find this dusty treasure.
Whether it's stealing what others love or having a bad temper, snatching and possessing is the way of survival he has learned in this world.
"I accidentally spilled it on myself. I went to get treatment right away. You know how good Anhe's medical care is, right? Their painkillers are very effective. I recovered without even feeling any pain."
"Really?"
"Yes, really. Nine out of ten things Huo Jun says are lies. Don't believe anything he says from now on."
After that, he coaxed the boy for a long time before he felt a little better.
"Don't cry, it's okay." Huo Zhongshan said again. He picked up Fang Shimian, kissed him gently, and sighed, "There are always so many tears. Shimian's crying broke my brother's heart."
Fang Shimian choked up and covered his eyes with his arms, looking very aggrieved, "But I can't control it, it always keeps flowing..."
Huo Zhongshan thought of the red marks on Fang Shimian's face that day, touched the back of Fang Shimian's round head, and gently pressed his thumb on the wet corners of the boy's eyes, "Then cry, it's okay, brother knows that Shimian is the strongest and best child."
Fang Shimian was recognized and kissed the man's lips passionately. His eyelashes fluttered slightly and his eyes were full of water, a mixture of purity and desire, extremely sexy.
Huo Zhongshan's breathing became heavier. Just as his hands slid down to the boy's slender waist, Fang Shimian raised his tearful face, kissed his lips beautifully, and said, "Brother."
"I'm so hungry. Can I have some chocolate ice cream from the shop downstairs from my company?"
Huo Zhongshan: “…”
Sometimes desire can be aroused and destroyed with just a few words.
Fang Shimian thought Huo Zhongshan disagreed with him eating junk food again, so he said, "I will have police training after this weekend, and I can't go out on weekends. I won't be able to eat for a month."
Huo Zhongshan's expression didn't change after hearing this, but he still compromised, "Eat something with me first, then we can go eat those."
Fang Shimian nodded quickly and jumped off Huo Zhongshan to wash his face.
After eating the tasteless coarse grain rice, Fang Shimian finally got to eat the ice cream he had been craving for.
Because he didn't like eating at the table when he was in school, Fang Shimian had to eat snacks to fill his stomach during his developmental period. Gradually, he didn't like eating rice as a regular meal. But later, when he had no money and didn't have enough food, he corrected his habit of not liking to eat rice during the few days in the temple.
During the physical examination a few days ago, the doctor said that Fang Shimian's stomach was not very good. Huo Zhongshan was particularly careful about Fang Shimian's diet and basically asked about every meal. Fang Shimian could only eat snacks after meals.
But this week in the school cafeteria, Fang Shimian was addicted to spicy and sour rice noodles and hot pot sets, and naturally had no interest in the light meals on the weekend.
Speaking of which, Fang Shimian is quite generous with his money on food, and his snacks are kept in a separate storage box in the cupboard.
Huo Zhongshan paid for Fang Shimian's tuition and he had to pay for his living expenses out of his own pocket. The price he paid was that after he got a job, Fang Shimian had to hand in his salary card and he was not allowed to keep a single cent for himself.
This was the result of the negotiation between the two. At the beginning, Huo Zhongshan's goal was very clear. He directly took away all of Fang Shimian's bank cards and used his for all future expenses.
Unfortunately, Fang Shimian was unwilling and even a little reluctant, which forced Huo Zhongshan to revise the plan. The two of them made concessions and finally solved the problem.
Just because of this little stubbornness, Fang Shimian suffered a lot that night. He slept until noon the next day and woke up crying because he was hungry.
After eating the ice cream, Fang Shimian went to Huo Zhongshan's lounge to sleep. When he was called to wake up in the afternoon, he was still sleepy and didn't want to get up. Huo Zhongshan was very patient and helped him to put on clothes and wash his face.
Knowing that Huo Zhongshan had made an appointment with Qin Liu to have dinner together in the evening, Fang Shimian's brain started to work again. He opened his eyes and suddenly became alert.
Ever since Qin Liu suddenly disappeared that time, he hasn't seen Qin Liu in Yunjin since. When he asked the bodyguards, they all said they didn't know. When he asked Ming Ke, he always changed the subject and never answered.
Not to mention asking Huo Zhongshan, as asking would bring disaster to you at night and you wouldn't get the answer to the key question.
He even conceded that Qin Liu might be a wanted criminal, so everyone was very secretive about it and no one dared to mention it.
Huo Zhongshan saw that he instantly perked up and smiled slightly, "Are you awake?"
Fang Shimian had just nodded when he was pressed on the man's legs and received two hot slaps on his butt. He turned to look at Huo Zhongshan with a confused look on his face.
"Shouldn't you be punished for staying in bed too long?" Huo Zhongshan asked slowly.
Fang Shimian didn't know where this rule came from, so he had to get into the man's arms, lean on him, yawned, and said, "Brother, I'm still sleepy."
Huo Zhongshan's expression gradually relaxed. He pretended to scold the boy a few words, neither too light nor too heavy, and then began to work tirelessly to put clothes and shoes on the sleepy boy.
As he approached the hotel box and saw Qin Liu, Fang Shimian's eyes lit up and he quickly waved to him.
For some reason, Fang Shimian felt close to Qin Liu when he saw him. It might be because they had spent some time together before, so he felt very relaxed with Qin Liu.
Of course, the most likely possibility is that Qin Liu accompanied him to watch the entire Godzilla vs. Kong movie.
During the meal, Huo Zhongshan formally introduced Qin Liu to Fang Shimian.
The only successor to M Guoke Yayi Group, but he has never been made public due to security issues. He was one of the core members of Huo Zhongshan's social circle during his study abroad.
Qin Liu is of mixed race and the youngest son of the chairman of the Keyai Group. Originally, he was not taken seriously, but the old man's first few children died in various accidents, leaving only Qin Liu as the only child. The old man has been watching him like the apple of his eye in the past two years, fearing that something might happen again. At the age of sixty or seventy, it would be too late to have another child.
The situation in Keyai Group has been unstable during this period, and the old man was scared, so he immediately sent Qin Liu here for refuge. As soon as the situation improved, he would take the person away without saying a word.
Huo Zhongshan deliberately concealed the fact that Qin Liu majored in psychology when he was studying abroad, and had done a lot of research on traumatic psychological issues with remarkable results. If he had not become the heir to the group, he would have been recruited by him to work in Anhe in the past two years.
"Shi Mian wants to be a policeman." Qin Liu didn't seem to expect Fang Shi Mian to choose this path. It was a bit troublesome. After officially working, he had to apply to and report to his superiors for entry and exit, and it would not be easy to take people away casually in the future.
Not to mention that Keyayi is involved in organized crime, and the biggest profit is still in the arms business.
It's difficult.
"Yes." Fang Shimian nodded affirmatively.
Huo Zhongshan picked up some food for Fang Shimian, smiled when he heard it, and said nothing.
"Last time you left without even knowing it." Fang Shimian looked at Qin Liu, "You left without saying goodbye, and I thought something had happened to you."
Qin Liu smiled, and quickly raised his glass to apologize to the angry Xiao Shimian, and said with a smile: "So I came here specially to say goodbye to you this time."
Fang Shimian was stunned for a moment and asked, "Brother Qin, are you leaving again?"
"Eh, I don't really want to leave." Qin Liu glanced at the silent man next to Fang Shimian and smiled lazily, "It's just that I'm not popular here. Wait for me to go back and get some things. I'll give you something fun when we meet."
Fang Shimian thought for a moment and said, "I don't want any gifts, just be careful." After saying that, he lowered his head to eat. Huo Zhongshan unknowingly picked up a lot of vegetables for him, and even two pieces of bitter melon. Fang Shimian ate it in one bite and his face wrinkled.
He looked at Huo Zhongshan, then at the other piece of bitter melon in the bowl, leaned towards the man, and whispered, "Brother, I don't like bitter melon."
"Just eat two pieces and be good." After saying that, Huo Zhongshan raised his eyes and smiled politely at Qin Liu who was staring at him.
Qin Liu looked away and took a sip of wine nonchalantly.
The meal was quickly finished, and immediately a blond, blue-eyed mercenary knocked on the door to urge them.
Qin Liu quickly pulled Fang Shimian to her body and hugged him before saying goodbye, and then quickly let him go under Huo Zhongshan's scorching gaze, "Shimian, see you next time."
Fang Shimian didn't pay much attention to the undercurrents between the two men, and was still waving goodbye to Qin Liu foolishly.
Soon after returning home, when being pressed on the big sofa and scolded by the big man with a cold face, Fang Shimian began to make serious promises again. However, Huo Zhongshan liked to bring up old things. There were so many things that had annoyed him this week. Fang Shimian recalled them bit by bit and was in great pain.
In the end, no matter how much he begged for mercy, Fang Shimian was not allowed to ejaculate, and he was not allowed to touch himself. Fang Shimian even took the initiative to hug Huo Zhongshan and kiss him during the bath, and promised obediently that he would never do it again. Huo Zhongshan smiled gently and accepted the little guy's initiative, but he did not waver in his original plan at all.
Fang Shimian once again deeply realized that Huo Zhongshan always keeps his word. When he went to bed at night, he would not sleep in the man's arms, but curled up to sleep on the side, looking very angry.
Huo Zhongshan found it hilarious and grabbed the man and coaxed him for a long time.
Fang Shimian used Huo Zhongshan's shower gel, which made his body smell nice, even his head had the same smell.
Because Fang Shimian felt that he had no hair now, he also put shower gel on his head. When in the bathroom, it would have been fine if Huo Zhongshan hadn't said anything, but once he said it, he worked even harder, and the smile on the man's face never stopped.
Fang Shimian was easy to coax. After he promised to make him comfortable next time, he immediately behaved well and nestled in Huo Zhongshan's arms. He looked very docile. Before going to bed, he would say to Huo Zhongshan with sleepy eyes: "Good night, brother."
The moonlight is very quiet, and the thermostatic system in the house adjusts the indoor temperature to the most suitable temperature for sleeping.
In the middle of the night, Huo Zhongshan's arms around Fang Shimian suddenly felt empty. He opened his eyes and touched the pillow, which was still warm.
Just when I was about to get up and look for someone, I felt something pressing against my abdomen. It was warm and a little heavy.
Huo Zhongshan turned on the small lamp beside the bed, and with the warm light, he could clearly see the frozen tear marks on the boy's face.
The quilt and shirt were lifted up, and Fang Shimian was still sobbing softly in his sleep, his face resting on the burned skin, rising and falling rhythmically with the man's breathing.
Fang Shimian's brain protection mechanism will blur the source of his pain when he is extremely sad, thereby cutting off excessive emotional collapse.
But his instinct to love would make him continue his feelings during the day late at night. He would cry unconsciously and feel pain in his dreams.
The heartache he felt for Huo Zhongshan had broken through this protective self-protection mechanism.
True, almost perfect love.
Huo Zhongshan closed his eyes silently in the silence of the room.
The pot of boiling water in his youth brought him scars that were difficult to heal, and it seemed that only at this moment did he truly feel the unspeakable pain.
It was so painful that even someone like him wanted to cry.
I also feel a lump in my throat.
He suddenly realized that those oppressive years were filled not only with deep hatred, but also with pain.
It turns out that it hurts to be held in someone's palm.
A person who is full of resentment and sadness can face all injustice and suffering with a cold brow, but cannot bear to hear a sudden word of concern.
The light was dim, and the man lowered his eyes, quietly watching the sleeping boy for a while. His expression was unclear, but he very gently held Fang Shimian to his side and rested his head in his arms again.
The star that he and Fang Shimian, who was lying on the side of the corridor, had been looking for when he was a teenager, has now finally fallen into his arms.
The remaining moisture in the corners of the eyes was kissed away lovingly.
The boy was unaware, but subconsciously hugged the person next to him.
The small light was turned off.
The moonlight and starlight blocked by the curtains outside the house fell on the tiles in the garden, making the cold and hard objects seem soft.
