My Youth Began With Him

Huo Mian walked over, squatted down, and picked up the clothes carefully.

“He bought these to make me happy, but I didn’t accept because I knew I wouldn’t stay here for long.”

“If you like them, you can take them.”

“No. We don’t need these.” Huo Mian stood up with a smile and returned to Qin Chu’s side.

“President Qin, we checked the whole place and found nothing suspicious or any secret passages.

“Okay.”

“Shall we go to the basement?”

Then, John led Qin Chu and his men toward the direction of the basement.

“Honey, do you know that this small and desolate island has lots of precious herbs and poisonous insects. Without them, I wouldn’t have been able to escape and see you…” Huo Mian seemed to be in a good mood and told Qin Chu her discoveries.

“You’re pregnant and should be careful. What if you were bitten by poisonous insects?”

“Nah, that won’t happen. I read in the Chinese medicine books that wherever there are poisonous insects, you can always find the herbs that these insects fear nearby. I used the juice of the herbs to wash my face and hands, and these poisonous insects won’t bite me because of the scent I carry.”

“You’re as willful as a child…” Qin Chu pinched her nose lovingly but couldn’t bear to scold her.

“President Qin, Huo Siqian is in this basement.” John pointed at the entrance.

“Yeah, that’s right. I’ve been here several times.” Huo Mian nodded to confirm John’s words.

“Mian, you wait here for me while I go down and see him.”

“No. I want to be with you.”

Huo Mian was determined to go with Qin Chu, afraid he would be in danger.

“But the air in the basement is not fresh and you’re pregnant. I’m afraid…”

“It’ll be fine. I used to go down there and there’s no biogas. I’m not so fragile…”

Finally, Qin Chu couldn’t resist her begging and took her and some subordinates down the ladder.

John waited at the entrance under the guard of the other subordinates.

The moment they got down, they saw the place was full of stock.

One of the subordinates was thirsty and reached out for a bottle of water.

Huo Mian stopped him. “Don’t touch these things.”

“But I’m thirsty, Madam…” the man said innocently.

“I put the toxin of the soul-eater grass in the water. If you’re thirsty, drink the water in the helicopter.”

“Um… Okay.”

Due to the limited amount of the toxin, Huo Mian had only put it in the water on the top and bottom boxes.

But now that the water bottles had been disturbed, she didn’t know which were poisoned and which were good, which was why she didn’t want their people to drink it.

Hearing her words, no one dared to touch the things here. Qin Chu and Huo Mian pushed open the small door and walked in slowly.

To their surprise, despite the dampness, there wasn’t a stinky smell.

It seemed Huo Siqian hadn’t eaten much and so didn’t produce any waste.

Sitting in the corner, Huo Siqian watched them walk in, looking unsurprised.

He looked up at Huo Mian and smiled.

“You’re back, Little Sister Mian. I knew you’d come back; you wouldn’t have the heart to leave me.”

“At this moment, you’re still in the mood to say these words? Huo Siqian, are you really crazy or just pretending?” Huo Mian was a bit angry.

Qin Chu looked at Huo Siqian without a word.

“What then? Do you want to kill me? Come on… Kill me now.” Huo Siqian smiled as if he didn’t care.
