My Youth Began With Him

“Okay, but I’ve got to inspect it first.”

Huo Mian took out her tool to check the food.

Making sure it was clean, she let Su Yu eat it.

Taking a sip of the congee, Su Yu stole a glance at Huo Mian

“Why are you looking at me?”

“I’m afraid you’re a vision I summoned in my mind and you might be gone in the next moment.”

“Ha. Don’t worry. I won’t go unless I die,” Huo Mian said it jokingly, but Su Yu looked angry.

“Pooh. Pooh. Don’t say unlucky things. Hurry up and eat.”

At Su Yu’s urging, Huo Mian began to eat her own congee. She peeled a boiled egg for him.

“One for each of us,” said Huo Mian.

“You take them. You have a baby and need more nutrients.” Su Yu didn’t mind going hungry, but he couldn’t bear to starve the baby in her belly.

“The baby says his Uncle Su will treat us to a big feast; one egg is not enough.”

Before Su Yu could speak, she stuffed the peeled egg into his mouth.

Resigned, he had to eat it.

“Mian… I’m sorry.”

“Why do you say that?”

“I dragged you into this mess…”

“Don’t pull this bullshit with me, okay? We’re great friends… Even if you were taken to the end of the world, I’d go and find you.”

“But… if we couldn’t make it back, I’d…”

“You told me not to say unlucky things, but you are doing it now… Pooh. Don’t say such unlucky things.”

Ignoring him, she began to gulp down her congee as if it was the most delicious thing in the world.

She had always been down-to-earth and never acted like a goddess.

Everyone liked her because she was real.

Watching Su Yu and Huo Mian joke with each other on the screen, Leila was displeased.

Lying on Jack’s lap, she touched the sensitive skin on his thigh.

She said feelingly, “My dear, how can a woman as bitchy as Huo Mian exist in this world? She claims she loves her husband Qin Chu, but now she came to seduce Su Yu even with a baby in her belly. If her husband knew about it, he’d be sad, right?”

“Huo Mian isn’t seducing Su Yu. They seem… to be good friends.”

Jack didn’t agree. Even though he didn’t like Huo Mian, he wouldn’t distort the truth about her character.

“Isn’t she seducing him? She took off his shirt, did surgery on him and even wanted to feed him… I’m disgusted… I always think cheating on someone physically is less horrible than cheating spiritually. Huo Mian is cheating on her husband spiritually, which is more despicable. I’ve had sex with many, many men, but I don’t love them… But Huo Mian is a bitch who plays with men in the name of true love. Don’t you think so?”

The woman touched Jack’s handsome face with her long fingernails, looking seductive in the dark night…

“Yeah. Young madam, you’re right in everything.”

She giggled. “I like your glib tongue…”

Leila was satisfied with Jack’s obedience and performance.

She dismissed the friendship between Su Yu and Huo Mian and maligned Huo Mian’s behavior as cheating spiritually.

“Okay. It’s almost time. Let’s watch something more interesting.”

Jack watched Leila as she opened an exquisite small box.

With a swoosh, something flew out of the box and disappeared.

“This is…” Puzzled, Jack didn’t know what Leila was doing.
