My Youth Began With Him - Chapter 88

Chapter 88

"This was the only black car left in the garage," Qin Chu said lightly .

" . . . " Huo Mian was left speechless again . Must be nice to be rich .

Qin Chu drove the car all the way back to Imperial Park, and, after Huo Mian went upstairs, she couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging .

Simply put, it was the feeling of safety and calmness that Huo Mian felt when she arrived home after a long day .

Either out of habit or exhaustion, Huo Mian curled up on the couch and quickly fell asleep .

Qin Chu furrowed his brows ever so slightly when he saw Huo Mian like that; it was as if someone was tugging at his heartstrings .

He then brought out a white blanket from the bedroom and covered Huo Mian up .

She fell fast asleep, and so, she dreamt . . .

In her dream, she saw Grandma Huo, who was wearing a plain-dyed gown . She sat on the rocks outside of a temple and was working on embroidering a handkerchief .

It was said that Grandma Huo came from a well-off family, and she had the talent for embroidery . Later, her family went bankrupt, leaving her no choice but to brave the world in poverty with her husband .

Grandpa Huo started from scratch and built his little manufacturing factory . He became overwhelmingly busy, and left Grandma Huo alone with her arts and crafts .

Twenty-five years ago, before Huo Mian was even born, Grandpa Huo passed away from lung cancer .

Grandma Huo then moved out of the house and frequently resided within the temple . When asked, she simply said that she was praying for Grandpa Huo .

In the end, she was nothing more than a woman infatuated by love .

Huo Mian only saw Grandma Huo a handful of times . Nevertheless, to this day, she remembered the familial bond between them .

She dreamt that she had slowly wandered over and rested her head on Grandma Huo's lap and fell asleep .

The sunlight that shined through the temple surrounded her, and Huo Mian felt a sense of happiness that she could not explain with words .

When she woke up, Huo Mian found a white blanket on her . The quilt was made with bamboo charcoal fiber, so it felt soft and silky on her skin .

Other than Qin Chu, she couldn't possibly think of a second person who would do this .

She checked her fully charged phone and realized that it was already half past eleven . She slept for more than three hours?

Huo Mian felt a little hungry . She yawned and went to the sauna room on the second floor .

On the second floor, there was a Korean-style shared sauna room that allowed for showers and saunas .

Huo Mian never really used it before . She felt like it was too inconvenient since she shared this room with Qin Chu .

But Qin Chu wasn't here today; she was home alone . It would be a good idea to relax a little in the sauna room .

However, it wasn't until she finished showering that she realized she forgot to bring in a towel .

Out of necessity, Huo Mian grabbed two tiny towels from the sauna room . She covered up the most important parts of her body and carefully walked out .

She followed the hallway that leads to the bedroom, but then the door of the study magically swung open .

Huo Mian was dumbfounded upon seeing Qin Chu .

Huo Mian attempted to clutch the tiny towels tighter, but out of nervousness, she lost her grip .

Both towels fell to the floor…

"Ah…" Huo Mian shrieked . Not knowing what to do, her hands flew up to cover her face .

Why? Because she once heard a joke about a public shower place that caught on fire . A lot of women ran out, some covering the top half of their bodies, while the others covered the bottom half .  One particular woman walked out calmly with her face covered . "This way, no one will know who I am," the woman said proudly .



Therefore, Huo Mian automatically covered her face .

Qin Chu was stunned by her reaction .

He looked at her exposed body and felt his throat tighten . Qin Chu tried hard to control the urges deep within in his heart .

"There's only the two of us, is it really necessary to cover your face?" Qin Chu asked as a hint of awkwardness floated in the air .
