My Youth Began With Him - Chapter 76

Chapter 76

After a while, Qin Chu answered slowly, "All I know is that the seven years apart from you was the biggest mistake of my life . "

These words thudded in Huo Mian's heart, as though something was softly broken .

She didn't know what it was; maybe it was the wall surrounding her heart…

Then, they both remained silent for the rest of the trip…

It was only 9:20 PM when they got back to Imperial Park .

Qin Chu helped Huo Mian get out the first-aid kit from the cabinet in the living room .

Then, they sat on the couch as Huo Mian carefully dealt with Qin Chu's wounds .

Qin Chu didn't just hurt his hands, his knees were scraped as well; blood was seeping through his expensive pants .

"It's done . Don't let it touch water for a couple of days . Keep an eye on it when you shower . " Huo Mian reminded him .

"Got it . "

"And… take off your pants . I will wash them for you . "

"It's fine . These can be dry cleaned . "

"Fine, go get some rest then . I'm a little tired and want to go to sleep now," Huo Mian said as she headed for the stairs .

"Mian, I'm a little hungry . " Qin Chu's words stopped Huo Mian in her tracks .

"What do you want to eat?"

"Anything sounds good . " Qin Chu looked into her eyes .

Huo Mian didn't want to make eye contact with Qin Chu . She turned her head around and walked towards the fridge .

She opened the fridge to see it filled with vegetables and fruits . It seemed like he prepared them ahead of time .

Huo Mian took out some egg noodles and a bunch of lettuce . Then she walked to the kitchen .

- Twenty minutes later -

She brought a steaming bowl of egg noodles with lettuce out from the kitchen and set it on the coffee table .

"Eat it while it's hot . "

"You're not going to have any?"

"I already ate during my shift . I'm not hungry . " Then, Huo Mian turned around and went upstairs .

Qin Chu sat on the couch, grabbed the chopsticks, and slowly began eating the noodles .

Memories began surfacing in his mind . . .

"Qin Chu, this shop's noodles are not good . How dare they charge 15 yuan for a yucky bowl of noodles? It's crazy . Next time, I'll make you some . I make good noodles . "

"Yeah? If one day we lose our jobs, you can open a noodle restaurant to support me . "

"Do you think I would let a man who lives off a woman be my husband?"

"As long as I can be your husband, I don't mind living off a woman . "

They created a lot of beautiful memories seven years ago…

There was a lot of street food behind their school . Qin Chu loved noodles, so Huo Mian always went with him .

They visited many stores but found nothing good . That's how that conversation happened .



Back then, Qin Chu thought that he and Huo Mian would be with each other every day, so he would have many opportunities to try her noodles .

Little did he know that he had to wait seven years for that to happen .

Time was heartless . So many beautiful things could only be preserved in memories .

Although tonight he set his life aside to save her, she still kept him at arm's length . He knew what was on her mind .

He could see the conflict, unease, guilt, and fear in her heart .

But, as long as he could be with her, he was willing to sacrifice everything . His wish was very simple: as long as she was well .

His thoughts came to a halt . Qin Chu started to swallow down the noodles quickly and finished the soup .

He didn't remember how the noodles tasted, but he knew that these were the most delicious noodles in the entire world .

It was because Huo Mian cooked them…

- Upstairs in the bedroom -

Huo Mian lied on her bed, physically and mentally exhausted . Qin Chu got hurt because of her, she wasn't heartless and didn't overlook what happened . But, as soon as she thought of her mother's words, she immediately started to feel conflicted .



Ding~

She got a WeChat message…

Huo Mian slowly picked up her phone . As expected, it was from Zhu Lingling .

Recently she was on the east coast route and hadn't been back to C City . Huo Mian was actually not used to the tranquility without a boat load of messages from Lingling .

"Mian, I'm back . Come out and have a drink with me . I've been working like a dog these past few days . "

Huo Mian smiled softly and responded, "No way, no dog is this tired . "

"…" Zhu Lingling was speechless .

Then, Huo Mian sent her another short message .

"Lingling, I got married . "

After seeing these four words clearly, a shocked Zhu Lingling immediately jumped out of her bed .
