My Youth Began With Him

“Su Yu’s family is worried that he still doesn’t have a girlfriend yet and hence has been arranging blind dates for him. Even my husband said that he would get sick of seeing all those women.”

“Em… maybe the Su’s are just being nice.” Huo Mian never gave random comments about Su Yu’s life.

After all, she was in a sensitive position…

“I don’t think it’ll work, even if he goes on a hundred of those blind dates and every one of them is with a beautiful woman.”

“How so?” Confused, Huo Mian raised her head and looked at Jiang Xiaowei.

“Because Su Yu is still thinking about you…”

Jiang Xiaowei’s words were on point…

They made Huo Mian feel a little awkward…

“Em… let’s eat. Ha, I’m so hungry.” Huo Mian quickly changed the topic and stopped talking about this with Jiang Xiaowei.

Huo Mian didn’t forget to take pictures while eating.

Then she posted them on WeChat…

“Got fed at Dr. Jiang’s. Yay.”

Under the caption were nine pictures of food. Eight of them were the dishes. To make it a nine, Huo Mian added a picture of a bowl of rice by itself.

“OCD… really.” Jiang Xiaowei laughed at her. (TL Note: 9 forms a grid, perfect square, while 8 will miss the bottom right corner)

Huo Mian smiled but didn’t respond…

“Sis… you are so blessed to have all this Chinese food.” Zhixin, who was abroad, was the first one to like and comment on her post.

“When you get back, I’ll take you out every day and stuff your belly full of Chinese food,” Huo Mian responded.

“Awesome, love ya!” Zhixin sent a smiley.

“What the hell… you heartless girl. You didn’t call me for this? Friendship over!” Zhu Lingling immediately started to complain.

“You were at it all night yesterday with Captain Gao. How could I wake you up? I thought you wouldn’t wake up until sunset.”

“F*ck… that’s dirty… all night? How could you say that out loud? Goddess Huo is no longer the pure and innocent girl in my heart. Huh,” Zhu Lingling chuckled.

“You’re thinking too much. I thought… you guys played poker all night. What, did you guys do something else that we don’t know about?” Huo Mian asked on purpose.

“Huo Mian, come here, I promise I won’t kill you.”

Zhu Lingling pretended to be mad and fought with Huo Mian playfully when she realized that she had been tricked.

When Huo Mian and Jiang Xiaowei finished lunch, the maid served some more fruit.

The two of them were bathing under the sun on the top-floor balcony with the heater on. What a life.

Jiang Xiaowei was reluctant to let Huo Mian leave…

“Girl, when are you coming to see me again?”

“Alright, don’t make it sound like I’m here visiting a prisoner. You’re pregnant, not a criminal. Call me to hang out whenever you miss me. Ha. Disturb me whenever you want!”

“Okay them. I will go to South Side to see you tomorrow.”

“Sure, I will treat you to lunch in our cafeteria.”

They said goodbye to each other reluctantly before Huo Mian called a cab and went back to South Hill Manor…

She hadn’t been resting well these last couple of days, so Huo Mian took a nap through the entire afternoon.

It was five-something when she woke up…

Then she realized that she had three missed calls.

They were all from a local landline.

Just as she was wondering, her cellphone rang again. It was that landline number.

“Hello?”

“Hello, is this Miss Huo Mian?” A woman’s voice she didn’t recognize sounded from the other side of the phone.

“This is she,” Huo Mian nodded.

“Hi Miss Huo Mian, I am a TV producer, Wang Xue.”

“Hi, anything I can do for you?” Huo Mian frowned slightly; she had no idea who this woman was.
