Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

When she went to the window to open it, her eyes spotted the black figure who was surrounded by four old ladies. 

"Judging from your stiff face, you must be very uncomfortable… serves you right!" Ji Yanli snorted in anger and didn\'t open the windows in the end.

Yan Luhan lifted his head when he felt someone\'s piercing eyes behind him. But he didn\'t find anyone.

"Ah, young man, what is your age? I have a daughter of the same age as you. Do you want to see her? I am sure you will like her!" A woman with wrinkles humbly tried to pacify Yan Luhan.

The sharp woman beside her intervened immediately, "Ah, will you stop it?! It\'s the tenth time you have wanted to steal a man for your daughter!" Then the sharp woman soothed her expression and coaxed Yan Luhan, "Boy, my girl is more like your type… why don\'t you... "

Yan Luhan tried to gently reason with them to leave him but the over-excited women didn\'t listen. Contrary, he attracted more people.

His aura, dress up and demeanour was different from theirs. Also, he had come here in a big car.

To these people, who could afford a car were considered rich. So some aunties wanted to fish him for their young daughter. 

In the end, he couldn\'t bear it and left with a gloomy face. 

"Remember to come again~" The humble-looking aunt called out.

"Don\'t forget this aunt, you brat!" The woman with sharp features shouted from behind.

Hearing the noise, Yan Luhan quickened his steps and hurriedly drove away, as if his life was on the line!

… … 

Deep in the night.

Wang Haixiao came back to his apartment. The man was slightly drunk. As soon as he reached the door and wanted to unlock it, he realised that the door was slightly open. 

"Brother Wang, why did you freeze? Hurry up! My back is so sore! I need to wash up and sleep early" Right then, An Ching who lived in Wang Haixiao\'s apartment, also came. Watching the drunk man not giving any response, he went forward and took the key from Wang Haixiao\'s hand.

"It\'s open…" Wang Haixiao murmured in his slightly dazed voice. 

"Ah, I see. I guess you have already opened it earlier. Come, I can see that you are a bit tipsy. Let me help you in… " An Ching smiled and grabbed his hand.

Wang Haixiao wanted to refute that he wasn\'t the person who had unlocked the door. However, without hearing him, An Ching dragged him directly. "Brother, don\'t you think the air is too cold? Have you left the AC turned on when you left for the office in the morning?"

Both of them shivered as their skin felt the big diversity of temperature between the outside atmosphere and the inside of the apartment.

"En…" Wang Haixiao only nodded his head and hummed.

When they entered, they were greeted by the brightly lit apartment but only the front had light. As they went forward, all the lights were turned off.

Both men frowned as they vaguely heard some noises. It sounded like an old lady who was crying. But the cry was different as it was filled with heartache, longing and resentment.

"Wuwu… my son… wu… don\'t leave mother behind… how can I leave in this cruel world without you?... Wuwu… why did you die?..." It was clear that someone was crying for their deceased son. 

The man beside Wang Haixiao gulped hard, "Brother Wang, this… " An Ching lost his reasoning and tightened his hold on Wang Haixiao. 

On the other hand, Wang Haixiao tried to see clearly in the darkroom. Their steps turned like those snails as well as they lost their sense. If they wanted they could\'ve turned on the switches which were just beside them but they didn\'t.

Suddenly a soul-piercing, shuttering, earth-destroying scary cry rang out in the room.

"Ahhh~"

"AHHHH…!!!"

"... ahho?!"

Following that cry, a woman\'s scream rang out. Then An Ching who was bravely trading through the darkness lost all his manliness and cried out as he jumped out and hid behind Wang Haixiao. 

The last one, the tipsy Haixiao, was so confused with the situation that he forgot that he should also scream to fit in this atmosphere but only a broken syllable weakly left his lips.

"Who? Who is there?!" Suddenly, the room became lively with some irregular footsteps. The man clutched onto Wang Haixiao and murmured shakingly, "Brother Wang, I am scared. Save me!" After saying this, he shouted, "Who is there?! You thief! Don\'t let me catch you or… "

Even though he wanted to sound very imposing, his broken voice sold his fear away. 

"Heh!" A bone-chilling woman\'s voice sounded the next second. 

Wang Haixiao suddenly sobered up when he heard the familiar snort. It was filled with disdain and arrogance, as usual.

Before the scared man could threaten the other party more, the room suddenly brightened up. It was so dazzling that they couldn\'t see anything and their eyes closed in reflex, to protect the delicate nerves.

"Here I was wondering who those sneaky rats were… " Both men slowly opened their eyes. Wang Haixiao\'s eyes paused slightly. Not because it was Ji Yanli but because of her outfit. 

Before the sofa, the woman was standing while her legs were slightly crossed. A black short length nightgown was on her body, showing her two long milky white legs. 

Her sexy nightgown was crooked at the right side, showing her cleavage. Because her hands were folded in the front, her two buns were slightly bulging. As the electric light directly fell on her back, her body seemed to release a very seductive aura. 

The cool air from the air conditioner was turned too high, making the area so cold that Wang Haixiao alongside the other man sneezed while seizing her up.

"Acchi!"

"Acchhoo!?"

Watching this soul captivating scene, both men were awestruck. Before they could regain their senses, both of them were affected by the iciness of the air as if winter had come.
