Chapter 419 Don't Go Tonight

In the dim yellow candlelight, Huo Jingya recalled the past, smiling and sad at times, but in the end there was loneliness in her eyes.

"After so many years abroad, I have many friends, but it seems like I have no friends at all."

"No one can be like you. Even if you sit next to me without speaking, you can make me feel happy and safe. I will always remember every day and every moment of those years in my heart."

"Brother Mo Chen, what about you? Do you still remember what happened in the past?"

Zhan Mochen didn't answer her.

When he was 13 years old, his parents died unexpectedly, and his life became dark from that day on.

He didn't know how long he had been in a state of confusion. After he regained his composure, he just wanted to seal up all the gloomy memories.

But Huo Jingya did indeed exist, and her company was like a bunch of lights in those dark years. I can't remember it clearly, but I can't erase all traces.

Zhan Mochen raised his hand to bring the plate in front of Huo Jingya, cut the steak himself, and put it back in front of Huo Jingya.

This time, his expression was much more sincere: "Jingya, happy birthday."

"Thank you, Brother Mochen."

Huo Jingya seemed to be moved by Zhan Mochen's sudden tenderness, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and her voice choked with sobs.

Zhan Mochen didn't speak any more, he just ate the steak gracefully, and the two of them finished the meal in relative silence.

When Zhan Mochen stood up to leave, Huo Jingya brought the cake over.

"Brother Mo Chen, please finish the cake with me before leaving."

Zhan Mochen nodded and sat down again.

After opening the box, Huo Jingya personally inserted the gift candles on the cake, lit them one by one, then clasped her palms together and closed her eyes to make a wish.

After a while, she opened her eyes and smiled playfully at Zhan Mochen: "Brother Mochen, do you know what wish I made?"

The long-lost memories began to revive, and Zhan Mochen raised a slight arc on his lips: "My birthday wish won't work if I say it."

"Hahaha, it turns out you still remember what I told you!"

Huo Jingya's eyes were full of surprise, and she seemed to have returned to the past in an instant.

"Back then, you celebrated my birthday, and I celebrated your birthday. Every time I asked you for your birthday wish, you would tell me that the birthday wish wouldn't work if you said it!"

Huo Jingya's smile was sincere, as if she was just happy for the friendship they had before.

Zhan Mochen breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief, nodded, and handed over the knife and fork: "I wish all your wishes will come true."

"With your words, it will definitely come true."

Huo Jingya took the cake knife and cut the cake with a smile, feeling another surprise.

"Brother Mo Chen, you still remember that I like to eat mango cake, I'm really touched!" Huo Jingya's eyes quickly filled with mist, and she looked at Zhan Mochen with emotion.

Zhan Mochen said calmly: "Your sister-in-law chose the cake."

A gentle word, like a thunder, instantly shattered the heart, and a smile froze on Huo Jingya's face.

At this time, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed outside the window, followed by a roar, which made Huo Jingya's body tremble suddenly.

She loosened her fingers and threw away the knife in her hand.

The knife fell on the cake, smashing the delicate shapes on the cake into a mess.

"Brother Mo Chen, I'm so scared!"

Huo Jingya seemed to be frightened by the lightning and thunder outside the window. She suddenly threw herself into Zhan Mochen's arms, grabbed his clothes and screamed.

Zhan Mochen glanced out the window, seeing huge thunder and lightning flying in the gloomy night sky, and waves of rumbling sounds rolling in.

Huo Jingya in her arms was like a frightened bird, trembling, indescribably weak and helpless.

Zhan Mochen could only stretch out his hand and pat Huo Jingya's back gently: "Don't be afraid, it will be over in a while."

Huo Jingya has been afraid of thunder and the dark since she was a child. She didn't expect that after so many years, she would still be so timid.

Zhan Mochen thought, and his heart softened involuntarily.

The lightning and thunder outside became more and more intensive, the big trees in the distance were ravaged by the strong wind, and the heavy rain soon fell.

Raindrops as big as soybeans pattered on the window pane, making people tremble with fear.Time passed by, and the heavy rain showed no sign of letting up.

The rain kept falling and thunder kept flashing. Huo Jingya lay in Zhan Mochen's arms, clutching his clothes tightly. Her body was shaking and she didn't even dare to raise her head.

The candles in the room burned out and the light became dimmer. Zhan Mochen tried to help Huo Jingya back to the hospital bed.

"Jingya, let me help you go to rest..."

"No, I don't want it!"

Huo Jingya screamed and refused to let go.

Helpless, Zhan Mochen was about to persuade him again when the cell phone in his pocket rang.

It was An Yan's call, and Zhan Mochen answered it immediately.

"Mo Chen, are you starting to walk back now? It's raining outside, please go slower on the road." An Yan warned worriedly.

"Well, I'm going to..."

Just as Zhan Mochen was about to say that he would go back immediately, Huo Jingya in his arms suddenly screamed.

"Brother Mo Chen, I'm so scared!"

Huo Jingya took the opportunity to hug Zhan Mochen's warm body tightly, and she was about to cry: "Brother Mochen, hold me tight, okay? You agreed to sleep with me..."

There was a moment of silence on the other side of the phone, and An Yan's voice was full of surprise: "Are you still with Jingya?"

"Yeah." Zhan Mochen was disturbed by Huo Jingya's scream: "It's raining heavily outside and thundering. How are you at home? You and the three little ones must not go out in such a heavy rain."

"Well, the kids are already asleep. I'm just worried about you."

On the other side of the phone, An Yan frowned slightly.

What did Huo Jingya say just now... sleep with her?Did she hear it wrong?

She felt vaguely uneasy, but she didn't know how to ask.

Zhan Mochen's expression softened unconsciously: "Well, I'm fine. Just close the doors and windows and go to sleep first. I'll be back soon."

"Okay." An Yan answered softly and hung up the phone without asking any more questions.

Zhan Mochen put the phone back in his pocket, and without any hesitation, he directly picked up Huo Jingya and threw her back on the bed.

"You need a good rest, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he turned around and left, not wanting to give Huo Jingya any chance to get entangled.

But it has reached this point. The opportunity is fleeting and may never come again in this life. How can Huo Jingya give up?
"Brother Mo Chen, please, don't leave!"

Huo Jingya suddenly rushed over from the bed, screamed and fell to the ground, grabbing Zhan Mochen's trousers.

"Brother Mo Chen, I'm really scared. I'm afraid of thunder and the dark. If you leave and leave me alone, I will have nightmares... Please, don't leave..."

Hearing the sound of Huo Jingya falling, Zhan Mochen turned his head and saw Huo Jingya's face covered with tears and her helpless cries.

Big tears welled up from her eyes. The woman who had smiled decently just now had a messy face, her hair was messy, and her eyes were filled with the fear and sadness of being abandoned.

"Jingya..." Zhan Mochen's heart ached slightly, and he suddenly remembered that the last time he saw Huo Jingya like this was when her parents went abroad.

She cried and refused to let them go, but her parents decided to go abroad for a better development.

Huo Jingya, who had always been obedient and sensible, cried so hard that she ended up suffering from convulsions and high fever, and lay in the hospital for half a month.

The scene in front of him overlapped with the memory from more than ten years ago. The girl's crying was as before, and her eyes looking at him seemed to be longing for salvation.

"Don't leave me, I really don't want to be alone...Brother Mo Chen, can you stay with me one last time?"

Huo Jingya covered her heart and cried bitterly, reaching out to him.

Zhan Mochen hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't bear it anymore. He squatted down and held Huo Jingya's hand: "Okay."

More than ten years ago, she accompanied him through a difficult period, and more than ten years later, he just wanted to pay her back.

From then on it was clear.
