My Youth Began With Him

“Sis, you’re still up?” Lu Yan said in a low voice and moved quietly to the bedside.

“I couldn’t sleep with you still out. I thought An was with you, but you dumped him and went to play by yourself.”

“Ha! Were you worried about me?”

“No. I was worried about the people who have the misfortune of seeing you,” Huo Mian said firmly.

She had been worried about Lu Yan, but later Mr. Qin told her that Lu Yan had never gotten in trouble in the past years.

She could even play a hide-and-seek game with a psycho like Ian for years.

So, she was worried about the people who got played with by Lu Yan.

“Hahaha! Sis, you’re dissing me too?”

“Su Yu was busy and didn’t go with you. An stayed with you during the day, right?”

“Yeah.” Lu Yan nodded.

“Then after you made An leave with an excuse, where did you go?” Huo Mian asked.

“Sis, what are you doing? You sound as if you’re interrogating a criminal…”

“Come on. Tell me.”

“I went to have a drink in the nightclub named Prosperous Pearl.”

“What? You went to such a place?”

“Yeah. I drank ten glasses of liquor and earned 10 million yuan,” Lu Yan said cheerfully.

“You drank ten glasses of liquor? Do you know how much damage liquor can afflict on your liver?” With the habits of a doctor, Huo Mian began to lecture her.

“I’m fine. I started chewing alcohol-relieving chewing gum before I drank the liquor; it dissolved all the alcohol.”

“You have a gift but only use it to do crazy stuff.”

“In our family, you and Dad are medical geniuses… No, like me, Dad is good at chemistry and a genius of bombs. Ha. You and Mom are the medical geniuses,” said Lu Yan.

Huo Mian sighed slightly. “You came back so late. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”

“No. I’m not hungry. Sis, you’re pregnant and must sleep now. I’ll go and take a shower.”

Lu Yan went to the wardrobe and changed into her sleeping gown before entering the bathroom.

Huo Mian had been silent about one thing. She had smelt a heavy scent of blood on Lu Yan and wanted to ask her if she killed anyone.

But on second thought, she remembered that Qin Chu had said Yan was born to do what she did.

For her, killing was second nature, just like saving people’s lives was Huo Mian’s second nature.

If they talked about such a serious topic, they might end up with nothing but unhappiness.

So, Huo Mian controlled herself and didn’t ask. But Yan was still young and couldn’t live in that cruel and bloody world for the rest of her life.

Huo Mian began to think about how to help Lu Yan change the way of living and return to the life of an ordinary girl.

She would get married, have babies, and have an ordinary job to spend the rest of her life.

After the shower, Lu Yan lay on the bed with her sister.

She took Huo Mian’s hand under the cover, feeling warm inside.

“Sis, when I was little, I used to wish that I could have an elder sister… At that time, Dad didn’t tell me about you. Dad and I were always on the run and had to change our lodgings each week. I felt very insecure and craved for a family… Now when I finally get to lie in bed with you and hold your hand and talk about things on my mind, I feel—great.”

“I have the same feeling… I feel safe when you’re by my side… Yan, do you have a dream?”

“A dream? For now, I’ll get rid of Ian who keeps following me…”

“What do you want to do after that?” Huo Mian asked.

“I haven’t thought about it. Really, Sis, people like me don’t know if we have a future… Maybe one day…”

Before she could finish, Huo Mian interrupted, “Yan, can you stop doing it and just be a chemistry teacher or something?”
