Zhuang Zhoucheng was slightly startled, and looked down at her, his empty palm covering her eyes.

He spoke word by word in a low, firm voice:

"Huo Yan, you belong to me alone! In the past, I couldn't control you, but from today on, you will all belong to me."

His face was calm and serious!

Huo Yan's eyes were covered by Zhuang Zhoucheng's big hand, and he immediately reached out to pull his hand away.

I pulled a few times, but he didn't move.

Huo Yan said in a muffled voice:

"Zhuang Zhoucheng, you can't do this. I don't want to be your private property. When I haven't figured out how to convince myself to be with you, you saying this will only push me away, and I dare not get close to you. Do you know? You are really scary. You always talk about marriage and lifelong love. Even though that's not true, it makes people scared when they hear it."

"Okay, I'll pay attention from now on. Huo Yan, can you try to look at me again? Put aside your initial impression, just treat me as an ordinary man, look at me again, try to accept me, can you do it?" Zhuang Zhoucheng asked again.

Huo Yan also found that she could no longer communicate with him. The way he spoke was really unacceptable to her.

She opened his big hand that was holding hers and said with a little annoyance:

"You ask if it can be done. How should I answer? Why do you always need an answer? Life is so changing. How can I give you an answer about the future now?"

"Then what do you want? What are your plans between us?" Zhuang Zhoucheng asked her.

Huo Yan looked at him, Zhuang Zhoucheng smiled, took her hand and walked towards the beach. After seeing her settle down, he picked up his pace and walked very slowly, following her pace.

This feels pretty good. It's one of the few peaceful conversations between the two of them so far.

"I……"

Huo Yan stepped on the soft sand under his feet. The sea breeze made his mind clear and his heart calm.

But I feel a little lazy and not very willing to talk.

Zhuang Zhoucheng lowered his eyes and looked at her, watching her hair messed up by the sea breeze.

Looking at her from his angle, he could only see the slightly soft curves of her face.

At this moment, it was exceptionally beautiful, as if all contradictions and entanglements did not exist. With their fingers tightly clasped together, their hearts were in perfect harmony, and the girl he was holding belonged to him.

Huo Yan suddenly looked up and asked him:

"You said you were willing to send me to study abroad. Is that true?"

Zhuang Zhoucheng nodded:

"As long as you are willing, you can." After a pause, he asked her:

"Wouldn't you be afraid of going to an unfamiliar environment?"

"..."

Huo Yan was blocked for a moment. Could she say that when she first entered university, she didn't dare to go to the cafeteria to eat for a week?

"People grow up in adversity. I should be able to learn to be strong and independent, right?"

God knows how afraid she is of facing society and an unfamiliar environment alone.

But the more afraid you are, the more you have to go out.

If she had been a little braver when her mother left, she would not have accepted Ji Wuwei, let alone thought of relying on Zhuang Zhoucheng.

You have sown the seeds of suffering yourself. Is it any use blaming others now?

Zhuang Zhoucheng looked at Huo Yan, at her pretty face. He wanted to tell her that as long as he was around, she didn't need to be strong or independent, and could just stay quietly by his side.

But in the end, she didn't say anything. If she wanted to see the world, then let her go.

Sooner or later, when she gets tired, she will remember his kindness.

"You are very smart and motivated. Be modest and take steady steps. You have a bright future ahead of you."

Zhuang Zhoucheng gently brushed the ends of her hair, and his big palm touched her fair face.

The premise is that with him protecting her, she will definitely have a bright future.

Do I have to listen to him again?

This evening, something finally came up that made Huo Yan happy. She looked at him with some joy:

"Really? I'm just saying it for your good luck."

Who doesn’t want to be well?

Everyone has daydreamed about millions falling from the sky, winning the million-dollar lottery, and becoming a billionaire, and she was certainly no exception.

Huo Yan smiled and added:

"What Zhuang Zhoucheng said must be true. I believe you."

Try to reach out and pull down his big palm that was pressed against your face, and pull his hand.

He has so much experience, he must be very good at judging people. To her, what he said was hope, so she naturally believed him in this regard.

Zhuang Zhoucheng smiled and held her in his arms:

"Besides this, you have to trust me a little more. I'm doing this for your own good. The woman who loves you most in the world is your mother, and the man who loves you most in the world is me! I'm only doing this for your own good. I only want you to be better. Do you understand?"

Huo Yan leaned in his arms, and after a long while, he mumbled:

"Why are you talking about this again?"

Didn't he think it was abrupt and ridiculous to say these words after threatening her with death?

How should she respond when he said that?

In the past, she really thought he liked her.

But she was wrong, he was just a little interested, not even fond of her.

Doesn't he feel it's inappropriate to say such profound words with such feelings?

Is this how all men cheat on women?

"Will it be cold?"

Zhuang Zhoucheng held her hand, which was cold, and turned sideways to block the sea breeze.

"Can we go back? The wind is too strong."

"No."

Huo Yan pushed him away, avoided his outstretched hand, and ran forward.

Zhuang Zhoucheng was helpless, but it was rare that she was happy now. If he forced her to go back, she would definitely not be happy.

"Yan'er, don't take off your shoes... Put them on, be good!"

Before Zhuang Zhoucheng could finish his words, she put down her shoes, and the tone of her voice had to take a sharp turn.

He walked towards her quickly. Huo Yan looked back and saw him coming. She didn't even take off her shoes and ran away, making a few soft noises. Perhaps the touch of her feet against the warm sand made her feel very happy.

Zhuang Zhoucheng immediately lost his temper and shouted coldly:

"Huo Yan, come back and put on your shoes!"

There are so many shells and gravel on this beach. If you are not careful, one of them will scratch your flesh and blood. It will be too late to cry then.

"No, no, Zhuang Zhoucheng, come chase me... Wait a minute, don't be so hasty, wait until I say start, don't leave, I say don't leave..."

Huo Yan was in the mood to play and was in high spirits.

Unfortunately, the man who didn't understand romance refused to cooperate and strode towards her with a dark face.

She was just joking, but he took it seriously.

Huo Yan also noticed that Zhuang Zhoucheng's expression was not right. He was stunned for a moment, then turned around and ran away.

"I just want to have some fun, why can't I even do this?"

Huo Yan shouted loudly and ran very fast.

Zhuang Zhoucheng quickened his pace and chased after her. Well, he did follow her wishes and chased her, but with a different purpose.

"Ah, ah..."

The person was grabbed by a strong force from behind, and after being dragged half a circle, the small body was stuffed into the man's broad arms. At the same time, he was hit twice on the buttocks:

"I told you to be obedient and put on your shoes. You can do whatever you want. Don't you know there are a lot of broken shells in the sand? Huh?"

After being hit twice, Huo Yan became obedient and stopped talking.

Zhuang Zhoucheng wanted to scold her a few more times, but seeing that she was silent and lying limply in his arms, he undoubtedly felt aggrieved in his heart, so he stopped talking.

He took her two steps, bent down to pick her up, walked back, and put on her shoes.

"I'm not in charge of you, but you have to listen to me, baby. There are pebbles, scallops, and other living things hidden in the sand. Just imagine how dangerous it would be if you stepped on them barefoot."

Huo Yan looked at him silently. Zhuang Zhoucheng straightened up and smoothed her hair.

"Have something to say?"

"You hit me again..."

Huo Yan's voice was low, and one could hear the grievance and unwillingness in it.
