My Youth Began With Him

Qin Chu: “…”

Su Yu: “…”

The twins’ naïve words always left Qin Chu and Su Yu at a loss for words, not sure if they should be laughing or crying.

Once the twins walked in, Su Yu immediately said, “Don’t tell me you’re here to talk me into breaking up with Jian Tong as well…”

“That’s not it,” Mr. Qin replied calmly.

“Then you want me to give up on Huo Mian?” Su Yu asked.

“That’s not it either.”

“Um, okay then. I’m out of guesses.”

After glancing at Su Yu for a brief moment, Qin Chu asked faintly, “Do you have plans against Huo Siqian?”

“No, I’m too busy to deal with that piece of garbage,” Su Yu spat angrily, but immediately realized that something seemed off. Why would Qin Chu suddenly bring him up? “Why, is he attacking you right now?”

“Mhm, we’re secretly playing a knuckle game. He might utilize despicable means again, be careful. I don’t want you to end up as cannon fodder…”

“I won’t, he probably doesn’t have the guts to target me anyways,” Su Yu said confidently.

“That’s good then.”

“That’s it?” Su Yu asked, a little surprised.

“Mhm.”

“Um, okay then, I thought you were going to talk to me about something really important. After all, we’re old competitors and present rivals.”

“Thank you, Su Yu,” Qin Chu suddenly said.

Su Yu: “For what? Taking the twins out to play golf?”

“No, thank you for giving so much love to Pudding and Little Bean, and for giving them fatherly love when I couldn’t…”

“Don’t say that, I’m not all that. Honestly, I just really like them, I’m not as chivalrous as you think,” Su Yu replied, feeling a little embarrassed.

“My family has so much debt to pay to your family for taking in Mian and the twins. I really do have to thank you.”

“You’re welcome, but I didn’t do it for you…” Su Yu was incredibly straightforward.

“I know, you did it for Mian,” Qin Chu said.

“So what if I did? She still… only loves you.” Su Yu smiled bitterly.

“Su Yu.”

“Mhm?”

“If you ever need help, just say the word and we’ll do all we can.”

“I really don’t need help with anything.”

“If you need anything in the future, make sure to tell me.”

“Come on, we’re rivals, don’t make it look like we are friends or that would be even more awkward… The entire world knows I like Mian, aren’t you jealous?” Su Yu wasn’t used to Qin Chu being so humble in front of him.

“I am, but it doesn’t make a difference. On the other hand, I should thank you for liking Mian. If you didn’t like her, you wouldn’t have helped her out of crisis after crisis… Everything else is unimportant compared to Huo Mian’s safety and wellbeing… All I want is for her to live happily, nothing else matters in comparison.”

Qin Chu’s words sounded simple, but they shocked Su Yu to his core – he had no idea how much Qin Chu loved Huo Mian…

“Honestly, I feel ashamed by what you said. Although I never wanted Mian to thank me, I always hoped that she would reciprocate my feelings. But you can give up everything, just so she can live happily. I don’t think the way you do, and I finally understand why Huo Mian loves you more than anyone in the world.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Chu quietly looked at Su Yu without responding.

“You’re worth her love, Qin Chu, you’re a real man. I’m really impressed.” Su Yu was never easily impressed by any man, but Qin Chu’s words truly shook him.

“She’s my only wish in life, and I’ve wanted to marry her since I was a young boy. She’s a poison I have no antidote for,” Qin Chu emphasized.

“I understand.” Su Yu nodded.

They haven’t had such a serious conversation in a very long time.

– Inside South Hill Manor –

The twins were super curious as to what Su Yu and Qin Chu were talking about.

Little Bean was extremely worried. “Sis, what do you think Daddy is saying to Handsome Su? Is he going to stop us from seeing him?”
