My Youth Began With Him

“It’s a little unique, don’t you think? Haha, I actually learned it from Xixi.”

“Xixi?” Qin Chu didn’t realize who she was talking about and Huo Mian nodded. “She’s Rick’s girlfriend, silly.”

Qin Chu: “…”

“She likes cartoons, so I’ve been getting recommendations from her. She posts a lot of different cartoons on her WeChat friend circle, and I plan on watching every single one of them. The New Calabash Brothers are really cute, their clothes are brighter than they used to be.”

Huo Mian enjoyed her cartoons as she snuggled in Qin Chu’s embrace. Eating chips while watching cartoons was the best.

She wanted to use this method to relieve Qin Chu of stress, but little did she know that his stress came from her.

Moreover, this stress was virtually non-relievable, because it had to do with her life and future.

Qin Chu thought countless times that he couldn’t lose Huo Mian, not even if he died. However, faced with her life, he decided to leave her, so she could stay safe…

Huo Mian had to stay alive.

Only then would he have hope. If they were both alive, they could think about each other, no matter where they were.

One day, they will look up to realize that they lived under the same skies, watched the same sunset, and enjoyed the same moonlight.

“Honey…”

“Mhm?”

“What are you thinking about? Your mind seemed to be elsewhere…” Huo Mian looked up at Qin Chu; he seemed restless and his pupils weren’t in focus.

“I’m really fine.”

“Honey… don’t worry about our wedding, I made all the arrangements. I know how busy you’ve been, so I made most of the decisions. I even bought a wedding dress, ha, I’m sure I’ll be beautiful. Lingling will be my bridesmaid, she said she’s going to look prettier than me in her bridesmaid dress and is going to see if she can steal my thunder… There’s going to be a lot of people that day. I’m getting nervous just thinking about it… what about you? Are you nervous?”

“Mian…”

“Mhm?”

“We can’t hold the wedding anymore… I’m sorry,” Qin Chu said, word for word.

After freezing for a brief second, Huo Mian smiled. “Okay, I understand. Let’s hold the wedding after dad’s surgery and once GK frees up, okay? It’s not a big deal, why do you look like someone killed your dog? I thought… you owed someone a large debt or something.”

When Qin Chu said that he wanted to cancel the wedding, Huo Mian couldn’t help but feel a slight pang of disappointment. However, she understood where he was coming from; Qin Chu had been busier than a bee and it was probably better to hold the wedding once his father-in-law recovered anyways.

They would hold the wedding sooner or later, it wasn’t like Qin Chu was going anywhere, right?

The more understanding and considerate Huo Mian was, the more heartbroken Qin Chu became… he knew how much effort Mian put into planning the wedding, but…

“Look at you, I agreed to push the wedding back already, why do you still look so depressed?” Huo Mian said as her finger glided across Qin Chu’s angular chin, teasing him.

“Huo Mian… I want a divorce.”

After a long silence, Qin Chu clenched his teeth and finally said what he needed to say.

“What… did you say?” Huo Mian wasn’t sure if she heard right, and Qin Chu slowly repeated himself, “I said… Huo Mian, I want a divorce.”

He felt his heart bleeding… the blood dripped into every cell in his body.

He didn’t even have the courage to look into Huo Mian’s eyes, because he felt like he was about to break down…
