My Youth Began With Him

“Honey… Can you not laugh so hysterically?” Qin Chu looked at her, completely speechless.

“I’m surprised you would have such a thought.”

“Haven’t you realized what a strong reaction Little Bean and Pudding have towards Su Yu?”

“Yeah, but they were always like that. It’s nothing big… They often tell me that they want to marry Su Yu when they grow up and get into fights with each other about who likes Su Yu more. They’re still just kids… I think that’s how kids think. When they grow up, they will realize what love really is and they will forget about this thought… They would realize that there is a giant age gap between them. Right now, they just don’t understand their feelings toward Su Yu.”

“Then what feeling do you think that is?” Qin Chu turned to Huo Mian with a serious face.

“I think… it’s a rather special feeling. It’s just a little less intense than that of fatherly love but their bond is strong… I think they rely on each other and love each other but at the end of the day, it’s still just how elders love the kids.”

“Okay… I just hope you’re right… I just don’t want my kids to marry an old man in the future. What would be worse would be that by then we would have known this old man for decades…”

Huo Mian couldn’t control her laughter again.

“What are you laughing at? Do you want to be Su Yu’s mother-in-law?”

Huo Mian: “… Honey, the four years you were away changed you.”

“How so?” Qin Chu asked.

“You’re more childish and your IQ is plummeting… haha…” Huo Mian giggled happily.

Qin Chu, on the other hand, was a bit dumbfounded and didn’t know how to react.

Since they didn’t have the two little buns with them, Huo Mian suggested they eat before going home.

Therefore, they strolled the streets hand in hand, looking for a nice Chinese restaurant to eat at, just like they did back in the day.

After dinner, they went to Rainbow Square to see the nightscape. It had been a while since they did that.

It was 7:00 PM and the sky was pitch dark. The northern wind was blowing, bristling through the air.

The cold weather did not hinder the people of the city from enjoying themselves under the street lights at the park.

Middle-aged women danced in the square and children were skateboarding…

Elderly men and women put out stalls to sell accessories, like nail clips and hairpins…

Huo Mian was wearing a beige cashmere coat, with a light green silk scarf around her neck.

She held onto Qin Chu’s hand tightly… She suddenly realized that this year, winter didn’t feel as cold as it did before.

Qin Chu was wearing a casual black jacket and you couldn’t tell he was already in his early 30s.

He was still very good looking. When walking on the streets, many girls would turn around to stare at him.

Every time this happened, Huo Mian would feel a great sense of superiority.

After all, this handsome Qin Chu belonged to her and only her…

She was proud and this kind of pride was her greatest affirmation towards herself and Qin Chu…

“Honey… are you cold?” Qin Chu held Huo Mian’s hand.

“I’m not cold. Let’s keep walking for a bit longer.”

“Okay.” Qin Chu nodded.

They slowly walked on the paths of the square, holding each other’s hands…

“Honey…”

“Yes?”

“The past four years must’ve been hard for you, right?” Huo Mian asked softly.

“No… It was all worth it for you and the girls.”

Huo Mian felt a clump in her throat when she heard Qin Chu say these words.

Even though Qin Chu never elaborated about his days in Seattle, he did mention some of those terrifying operations that he had been through.

Huo Mian could almost feel the pain he had been through…

Every time Huo Mian thought about the fact that Qin Chu was forced to leave her and suffer those inhumane pains, she felt like stabbing Huo Siqian…

“What do you plan to do now?” Huo Mian took a deep breath and changed the topic because she didn’t want Qin Chu to feel bad again.

“Which aspect are you talking about?”

“What are you going to do about Huo Siqian…?” Huo Mian asked in a low voice.

“Yeah… I’ve thought about it and I have plans that are in execution.” Qin Chu gave a faint smile, the smile that was filled with his usual confidence.

Huo Mian looked up looking a bit surprised…

Before Huo Mian could say anything, Qin Chu leaned down and kissed her cold lips.

He gently sucked them, leading onto a kiss that expressed his immense love for her…
