Chapter 267 She was too tired
City A.
Lin Zhihuan put down the phone.
She hadn't said anything before because she was worried Lin Yuchen might act impulsively in Congress, but now...
Lin Zhihuan sighed deeply, feeling somewhat worried.
After thinking for a moment, she found a number and sent a message.
...
On the other side, at the Huo residence.
It's already 10 p.m.
Huo Yanmo rushed over immediately upon hearing the commotion from the room.
Shi Nian stared at the pale ceiling with her eyes open.
She had another nightmare.
This made her feel powerless.
She didn't understand.
She has been trying to live a good life all these years.
Even when faced with numerous obstacles and difficulties, she never considered giving up, but instead tried to find ways to solve them.
She had done a lot of things, but the situation was not what she had expected.
She had thought several times about struggling to escape this situation, but now...
It was like a nightmare that haunted her every night.
Unable to control it, powerless to escape it.
Is this all there is to her life?
Or is she never going to get better?
She was really tired.
"Niannian." When her hand was held, Shi Nian turned her head and saw Huo Yanmo under the dim light of the night lamp.
She didn't say anything, just looked at him.
She wanted to smile at him and tell him that she was okay and that she would get better.
But she doesn't even have the strength to lie now.
Silence remained.
She was too tired.
I no longer have the energy to bear all of this.
Huo Yanmo suddenly felt a little scared at that moment.
Although she didn't lose her mind like before, nor did she react as violently as when she woke up from a nightmare, she still gave him a sense of despair.
It was as if her soul would vanish in the next moment, leaving only this numb shell.
Even if he squeezed her hand tightly, he couldn't hold her.
"Nian Nian".
Huo Yanmo called Shi Nian's name again, but she still didn't respond. She just looked at him, her eyes empty beneath her long eyelashes.
She seemed to be looking at him, yet she also seemed not to.
Fear almost overwhelmed him.
The bed sank slightly as Shi Nian was pulled into Huo Yanmo's arms.
He held her tightly, as if he was afraid of losing something.
She could hear his heartbeat, thumping loudly.
"Don't leave me." His voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.
But she didn't know how to answer.
After a long while, she finally spoke: "I'm here."
But these two words are clearly useless.
What use is it if all that remains is her body?
Huo Yanmo held her face and looked at her.
“Niannian, I’m scared,” he said. “I always feel like you’ll disappear at any moment.”
Shi Nian reached out and gently stroked his face.
He took her hand: "It's not your fault. Don't punish yourself for someone else's mistake."
Huo Yanmo felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
He said, "Niannian, I can't live without you, and neither can Sisi."
He wanted to give her something to worry about, something to support her.
At least for this moment, leave her behind.
"Niannian?" he called her name again.
"I'm here," she answered softly.
But his eyes welled up with tears.
Her lips touched his soft lips, and Shi Nian took the initiative to kiss them, as if to tell him with her actions that she was there.
Huo Yanmo's body trembled slightly.
He held her face and deepened the kiss.
Shi Nian did not resist.
She let him kiss her.
His kisses moved from her lips to her neck, collarbone, and then he buried his face in her chest.
Shi Nian didn't push him away; she just stared calmly at the ceiling, her body trembling slightly from instinct.
If he wants it, give it to him.
That's what she thought.
Nothing matters anymore.
Huo Yanmo supported Shi Nian's waist, unbuttoned her pajamas, and gently kissed the scars on her skin.
Breathing is intensely hot.
She didn't resist; she agreed.
Huo Yanmo thought so.
Joy filled my heart, and desires surged.
He wanted her; he had wanted her for many years, he wanted her so much!
However, when he looked up, he saw her calm, empty eyes staring at the ceiling.
There was no emotion, only calm.
Like a rag doll, at anyone's mercy.
In an instant, it was like a bucket of cold water being poured over him, bringing him to his senses.
My heart was tearing apart with pain.
Huo Yanmo forcibly suppressed his desire and straightened her clothes.
Shi Nian watched his movements and said softly, "Aren't you going to continue?"
But he simply pulled her into his arms.
"Didn't you want me?" Her voice was a little muffled.
Huo Yanmo kissed her forehead and looked at her sadly.
“When you’re really ready,” he said.
"Lu Yanzhi is a rotten person."
"But Niannian, there are still many people in this world who like you and love you."
As he spoke, he gently stroked her face.
"If you want to cry, just cry. Don't hold it in," he said softly. "We are lovers, we are family. You don't need to force yourself when I'm by your side."
Shi Nian's nose tingled slightly; in that instant, she seemed to finally feel a sense of reality.
Shi Nian didn't speak, but simply buried her head in his arms.
He gently patted her back to comfort her, watching her fall asleep in his arms.
Looking at Shi Nian's sleeping profile, Huo Yanmo gently kissed her cheek.
He carefully placed her down, then went to the bathroom to take a cold shower.
When he came out, Huo Yanmo took out his phone and saw the message that Lin Zhihuan had sent him.
I learned everything.
Thinking about it, he called Lin Yuchen.
The other party did not answer.
After thinking for a moment, Huo Yanmo sent a message to Lin Yuchen.
After that, Huo Yanmo called Ran Shuya again to inform her of Shi Nian's current situation.
Thinking of Lu Yanzhi, Huo Yanmo felt a surge of hatred.
The plan needs to be moved forward!
After settling everything, Huo Yanmo returned to Shi Nian's side, lay down beside her, and embraced her.
...
On the other side.
Han Wei's residence.
She went back into the room and took out her secret phone.
"Beep beep..."
She pressed the call button.
A short while later, someone answered the phone.
"What is it?" came the other person's voice.
"I've been feeling uneasy lately," Han Wei said. She had just been under control for a while, and it felt like the world had changed drastically since she was released.
"What's going on?" the other party asked.
"I don't know either." Han Wei kept thinking back, and then she said, "Have all the traces been cleaned up? No one will know that I asked you to hit and kill Shi Nian's child, right?"
"If you had known, you would have known sooner," the voice said. "There was no need to wait until now."
Han Wei was slightly relieved and nodded.
"You now..." she asked a few more questions.
However, what Han Wei didn't realize was that the caregiver secretly came out the moment she entered the room.
While Han Wei was on the phone, the caregiver secretly pressed his ear to the crack under the door, trying to hear something.
