My Youth Began With Him

After the two went in and ordered some food, Qin Chu looked down and took out his phone.

Huo Mian was still eating the popcorn that she hadn't finished.

"Did Zhu Lingling fall for Xing Yan?"

Huo Mian was surprised by Qin Chu's sudden question. After all, he wasn't the type to gossip.

"No, she's just playing around. She's'¦ just willing to join in the fun. The more we don't let her do something, the more she likes to do it."

Qin Chu put down his phone and glanced at Huo Mian.

"That's for the best. You two should stay away from Xing Yan. He's fine, but Jiang Xiaoyi's family background is a little complicated'¦ Gao Ran and I happened to bump into you guys, so we could fight and protect you. Plus, it was only in school. If one day you two get stopped outside the school, it'd be troublesome."

"Yes, I'll be careful."

Huo Mian knew that Qin Chu meant well to remind her and Zhu Lingling.

She didn't know who Jiang Xiaoying was, but she believed that Qin Chu and Gao Ran knew.

This was definitely not an exaggeration.

Plus, Zhu Lingling didn't like Xing Yan to begin with. She was just angry at the cheerleader captain.

After chatting for a while about school, the meat skewers were ready.

The two of them didn't talk much, so they had a tacit understanding. After the skewers were served, they started eating.

Huo Mian didn't like fatty meat; she had never eaten it since she was young.

Even though her mother usually made braised pork at home and Zhixin would eat until his mouth was full of meat, Huo Mian was not tempted.

Hence, she picked out all the fat in the meat skewers and only picked the lean meat to eat.

"You don't eat fatty meats?" Qin Chu looked at Huo Mian.

"Oh'¦"

"Why?"

"It's disgusting."

Qin Chu: "'¦"

"If you like it, I'll give it to you so that we won't waste it'¦"

Huo Mian deliberately pushed the meat towards Qin Chu.

Unexpectedly, he looked disgusted. "You wish."

Huo Mian couldn't help but laugh at his cute reaction.

Her devilish laughter made Qin Chu despise her even more'¦

After dinner, Qin Chu walked Huo Mian home.

Although it was a commoner area, it was quiet and safe at night.

The people living around them were all neighbors who had been around for decades.

Therefore, this place was not as complicated as the northern suburbs. There were all kinds of people there.

The two of them walked back along the dark street lamps.

Huo Mian broke the silence first.

"I thought'¦ you would dislike me," Huo Mian said.

"Why?"

Qin Chu tilted his head and looked at the girl next to him. Her delicate side profile was even clearer in the dark, making her even more attractive.

"Because I heard that before I joined, you were always first in the cohort. After I joined, you'¦"

After a moment of hesitation, Huo Mian decided to speak frankly. "Ever since I came here, you've been the second."

As expected, Qin Chu's expression darkened after he said this.

"So I thought you might treat me like a mortal enemy."

"I do want to deal with you'¦ That's why I took you to a movie and barbeque'¦ I am going to use sugar-coated bullets to destroy you'¦" Qin Chu said.

"Really?" Huo Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

However, seeing how serious Qin Chu was, she wasn't sure if he was telling the truth.

"This is only Plan 1. There's also Plan 2, do you want to hear it?" Qin Chu suddenly asked.

"Let me guess, haha, are you throwing me into a smelly ditch after crushing my body, leaving me to fend for myself?" Huo Mian laughed.

Qin Chu shook his head.

"So you're going to take me out to eat and play all day so I don't have time to study?" Huo Mian continued to guess.
