My Youth Began With Him

“Don’t worry and leave this to me,” Qin Chu said as he put his hand on top of Huo Mian’s.

Huo Mian nodded. During the whole time, she had been holding only her daughters’ hands because she was unwilling to let go.

No one knew how much relief she felt from retrieving something that was beloved but lost…

“Mian, about Zhang…” Qin Chu tried to explain.

“I know.” Huo Mian smiled.

“Daddy, do you even need to explain? Mommy’s IQ is really high, it’s not like you don’t know.” Little Bean looked condescendingly at Qin Chu.

“Okay. I was overthinking.” Qin Chu smiled. It had been a long time since he smiled.

He would only reserve this gentleness for his wife and daughters.

South Hill Manor was very lively on the night the twins returned. It had been very long since it was like this.

Gao Ran, his wife, and their son; Wei Liao, his wife, and their son; Tang Chuan, Qin Ning; Huo Mian’s mother and Zhixin, and Bella – Zhixin’s rumored girlfriend; Su Yu, Su Yu’s parents, Grandpa Su; Ni Yang and his wife, Chen Jie; they all gathered in South Hill Manor. It was a very lively house that night.

Qin Chu had secretly turned on the blocking system so that Huo Siqian’s spying equipment would malfunction.

Even that Caiyue who was planted here as a spy by Huo Siqian was tasked to somewhere else… Everyone was able to completely relax.

Mr. Qin’s old illness almost broke out again and he had to go to the hospital because he was worried sick about his granddaughters that were kidnapped. He did not know how he could live without them anymore.

May in the North was no longer cold; the temperature slightly hiked up. In one night’s time, the peach blossoms would bloom everywhere.

The group enjoyed a barbeque and western-style food in South Hill Manor’s front yard.

The Qin Family and the Su Family’s personal chefs worked together to make a delicious and bountiful dinner.

The twins were extremely happily: they ran around in princess-like dresses.

Everyone was delighted to see them like that. Huo Mian was so overwhelmed with emotions that when she went to get everyone drinks, she stood by the pool and zoned out.

“Are you thinking of Yan?” Qin Chu hugged Huo Mian’s waist from behind and placed his chin on her shoulder.

“You sure know me well, my dear.” Huo Mian didn’t turn around to look. Instead, she gently put her face on his.

The couple savored such peaceful happiness.

“Everything will end soon. Trust me. You, Professor Lu, and Yan will be able to be together,” Qin Chu comforted.

“Yeah, I hope time can just past by faster. I think if it takes one day longer, I’d die,” Huo Mian joked.

“Stop that. My lovely wife, you will live a very long life, till 100…”

“Then you have to live till 100 too. If it’s just me alone in this world, then it would be torture.”

“Of course, regardless if you live till 100 or 101. You will leave before me. Then after taking care of some stuff, I’ll go find you,” Qin Chu teased.

“There’s not enough beer. Yu, go get the beer from over there. I don’t believe that I can’t beat Wei Liao today. Haha…” Tang Chuan was rather drunk from the alcohol.

Su Yu then got up and walked towards the pool. He saw Qin Chu and Huo Mian cuddling together.

He stopped and looked disappointed.

“Does it hurt?” someone said with a crisp voice.

Su Yu looked back and saw that it was Pudding. She was standing behind him very calmly with a popsicle in her hand.

“Ahem… What are you talking about? What hurts? I came over for beer…”

“Why don’t you go and get it then?” Pudding asked.

“Uh… That… Your mommy and daddy are showing their affection for each other over there. I don’t want to bother them,” Su Yu said with embarrassment.

“What are you afraid of? I’ll take you over.”

Then, Pudding pulled Su Yu by his sleeve and walked over.

“Uh… Pudding, stop… Come back,” Su Yu immediately rejected the idea with fright.
