My Youth Began With Him

Huo Siqian slowly walked over and began reading the thesis.

Actually, he didn’t even need to read it to know. What she wrote must be very interesting.

He had seen all her essays in the past few years.

Even after coming to Second High, he did not miss any of her monthly exam papers.

God knew how much he wanted to understand her and get close to her, but he was afraid of scaring her.

“Mian… are you really not considering coming back to the Huo Family?”

“Why are you bringing this up again?” Huo Mian looked angry.

Last time, she and her mother had already expressed their stance and rejected Jiang Hong, right?

“Mian… have you thought about it? If you want to continue being with Qin Chu, you can only come back to the Huo Family. Otherwise, you won’t be able to enter the Qin Family with your current status. I swear, before you even enter the family, Qin Chu’s mother will reject you and send you thousands of miles away… Look at your situation, your status, and your family.”

“Huo Siqian, when did you become so curious about me?”

“I’m just concerned about my sister…”

“I’m not your sister, and I don’t need your concern. If there’s nothing wrong with the thesis, then I’ll take my leave.”

Then, Huo Mian picked up the stack of RMB notes on the table and was about to leave.

“Are you really not going to consider it? You don’t have to be afraid. If you come back, I’ll protect you… I won’t let Huo Siyi and Huo Yanyan bully you.”

Huo Siqian really wanted Huo Mian to come home. Why?

He wanted to get closer to her and grow up with her.

And slowly bring her to his side…

To Huo Siqian, Huo Mian was his only salvation in the dark world. He wanted to redeem himself.

“Thank you for your kind intentions, but there’s no need.”

Huo Mian took the money and left without looking back.

After leaving Huo Siqian’s house, Huo Mian excitedly rushed towards the jade shop.

After having some money, she felt more confident.

“Please help me customize a jade stamp.” Huo Mian was a little excited.

“Okay, what should I engrave?”

“Just engrave ‘Qin Chu’. No, just the word ‘Chu’. Okay, wait… let me think.”

Huo Mian had thought about it, but when she got there, she changed her mind.

In the end, she gritted her teeth and said to the salesperson, “Please engrave four words for me— Chu Mian For Life.”

“Okay, are you sure? You won’t be able to change it later…”

“Yes, I’m sure.”

“Okay, please make the payment. The jade costs 5,000 yuan, and the engraving costs 800 yuan. It’s a total of 5,800 yuan.”

“Okay.”

Huo Mian took out the money she just earned from Huo Siqian and handed 58 of the 100-dollar bills to the salesperson.

Then, she received a receipt. “This is for you. You may collect the stamp in three days.”

“Okay.”

Huo Mian was in a great mood as she walked out of the jade store. She imagined how happy Qin Chu would be to see this gift three days later.

At 6 PM that night.

Huo Mian went to the restaurant they had agreed on, and the three of them were already there.

Huo Mian was the last to arrive. As soon as she sat down, Zhu Lingling complained, “Mian… can you not dress like a polar bear? Look at all the girls in our school, none of them are like you. They all wear coats or thick jackets. Only you would wear a down jacket. You look like a big loaf of bread.”

Huo Mian smiled. “I’m afraid of the cold.”

Then, she took off her down jacket, and Qin Chu helped her hang it up.

“Qin Chu, why don’t you talk some sense to her… Look at her taste… she looks like she’s from Yugoslavia.”

Zhu Lingling always complained about Huo Mian’s taste in clothes.. In fact, it wasn’t that Huo Mian had no taste; she just wanted to consider her family’s situation.
