My Youth Began With Him

"Wow, this place is beautiful."

"Mhm, when Grandpa was still alive, he loved this mountain range… After he fell sick, my dad built this place to help him fulfill his wish… Unfortunately, he could only build the foundation before Grandpa passed away. He didn't see it in time… But after it was built, it's really beautiful… My dad brings my mom and me here every year… Part of it is to remember Grandpa, but the other reason is because the air here is really good and it's suitable for vacation. My dad is very busy now and doesn't have much time, but I come here occasionally."

"What's the name of this place?"

It was already dark when Huo Mian arrived, so she couldn't see any road signs.

"Yunding Mountain."

"Nice name, too." She smiled.

"Mhm, this is the largest primitive forest in the north. Yunding Mountain is only a small mountain. If we go another 50 kilometers, we'll be in an uninhabited mountain range…"

"The uninhabited mountain range… means that it's undeveloped?"

Qin Chu nodded. "Yes, there are mountains, rivers, and wild beasts there, just like hundreds of years ago… It's very well preserved…"

"Actually, this is good. Sometimes, over-developing isn't a good thing…" Huo Mian sighed.

"Do you like it here?"

"Yeah, I like it… I feel like the air is much better here…" Huo Mian greedily inhaled the night air.

It was natural air that smelled of soil. It was a luxury that the noisy city would never have.

"Then… I'll bring you here often."

The meaning in Qin Chu's words was quite obvious.

Embarrassed, Huo Mian lowered her head and didn't say anything.

"Qin Chu."

"Hm?"

"Liu Siying seems to have liked you for a long time, right?"

"I guess… I'm not sure," Qin Chu said calmly as if he wasn't talking about himself.

Huo Mian laughed. "It's so obvious that she likes you. Don't you know that?"

"That's her business. It has nothing to do with me."

"I heard that she has liked you since middle school. You were classmates in middle school year three, right?"

"Yes, but we barely exchanged more than ten sentences."

Huo Mian: "…"

"Gosh, how did you do that?" Huo Mian was shocked.

Even if he was an ordinary classmate, he couldn't have said less than ten words in three years.

"I ignore everything she says." These words explained Qin Chu's arrogant personality.

"Oh my god… the proudest man in history." Huo Mian laughed.

"Are you mocking me?"

"No, I'm praising you again, haha."

Qin Chu clearly didn't believe her. He turned his head away, silently protesting.

"Actually, I think Liu Siying isn't a bad person. She's just a little princess-like… I can understand why you don't like her…"

Huo Mian analyzed.

"What about you?" Qin Chu turned around and looked at her seriously.

"What about me?" Huo Mian played dumb.

Huo Mian thought he was going to ask her some questions about boys from other classes wooing her.

However, she neglected the fact that Qin Chu didn't like to gossip.

Other than his own matters, he didn't care about anyone else. Of course, Huo Mian had become part of his concern now.

"What about you? Do you like me?" Qin Chu asked naturally.

He was not embarrassed at all and asked naturally.

Huo Mian, on the other hand, felt like her head was about to explode.

How could this guy be so shameless?

Huo Mian felt her body temperature rise rapidly; her face was as red as an apple.

The air froze…
