My Youth Began With Him

“Oh… I don’t remember. I didn’t see them clearly.”

“Did you offend someone? Why did they target you?” An tried to analyze the situation.

“Yeah. Maybe I was too arrogant, and someone tried to teach me a lesson.”

Lu Yan knew those mysterious guys who had rescued Huo Siqian were extraordinary people.

She decided to take a break and not talk about the incident to others, not to mention an ordinary person like An.

“Is your wound serious?”

“Not serious. It’s a slight concussion and I’ll be fine after resting for a couple of days. My sister insisted that I stay here for one more day, otherwise I’d have left the hospital today.”

“Please don’t. You must listen to Dr. Huo. She has your best interests in heart.”

“Yeah.” Lu Yan nodded.

“Do you want to eat an apple? Do you want me to peel one for you?” An offered.

“No… No. I don’t want to eat it. Thank you.”

“After you’re released from the hospital, I’ll accompany you if you want to go out and play, so I can protect you.”

“You… protect me?” Lu Yan looked at An.

“Yeah. I know you know some kungfu, but you’re still a girl… There are many bad guys out there, and you must be careful… I’m Young Master Su’s bodyguard and once protected your sister Dr. Huo for three years. You can trust me.”

An said it seriously, but Lu Yan almost laughed out loud.

“Oh… I trust you, absolutely. I know you’re a good fighter. You used to be a soldier in the special forces, right?”

“How did you know it?” An was surprised.

“Um… I heard it from my sister. She said Su Yu was in it, too.”

“Yeah. President Su was the captain of our platoon. He was really a good soldier, and I thought he’d stay in the army all his life. But he later quit the army.” An lamented.

He still felt thrilled whenever he recalled the time when he stayed in the army with Su Yu.

“I’m fine and don’t need your protection… In fact, I can manage,” Lu Yan said.

“If I was with you, you wouldn’t have been injured.”

“Fellow, why are you so good to me?” Lu Yan glanced at An and asked.

“I… President Su told me to protect you since you’re Dr. Huo’s sister and he’s Dr. Huo’s very, very good friend.”

“This reasoning is lame.”

An: “…”

“Thank you for your kindness. But I truly don’t need your protection. Your job is protecting Su Yu.” Lu Yan smiled at him and then went back to the game.

When she smiled, she looked like a child with a dimple on her face.

An knew this girl was extraordinary and out of his league.

Seeing how she spent money, he knew she was loaded.

Living abroad all the time, she was way out of the reach of a small bodyguard.

But still, An couldn’t resist her charms.

He found the girl’s fighting skills, personality, and talking style to be very unique.

Su Yu had wanted to match him with Zeng Rou, but he knew Zeng Rou was out of his league as the daughter of Secretary Zeng in the provincial government. Besides, Zeng Rou was like a buddy to him and he felt nothing about her.

But this girl was different; he’d always think of her when she wasn’t with him.

“Your name is… Lu Yan?” He had heard her name from Huo Mian on their way to the ward.

“Oh. Yeah,” Lu Yan answered indifferently.

“It’s a good name,” An said.

“Oh, really? I used to complain to my dad about it. I’m sure he gave me the name ‘Yan’ because he loved smoking.” (Note: “Yan” in Chinese means “smoke”.)

“Haha! You’re funny.” Hearing her words, An laughed.

“I’m serious… I wasn’t joking,” Lu Yan said with a straight face.

“Lu Yan, how… old are you?” An mustered his courage and asked.
