My Youth Began With Him

"I'll admit he's sinister." Tang Chuan nodded.

"So you need to stay away from people like him who are willing to do anything to get what they want… The things that he could do, you won't be able to. When a person doesn't have a moral bottom line and is willing to do anything, you know you can't defeat him."

"I don't even want to look at his face… he looks like a crazy person." Tang Chuan never liked Huo Siqian because the latter always wore a creepy smile on his face and his expression was infuriating.

"Should we go out for a drink tonight?"

"I can't, I need to go home and hang out with my parents and grandpa."

"Your dad's back?"

"Mhm," Su Yu nodded, "do you want to come with? My grandpa was saying how he missed you and Wei Liao last night."

"No, thanks, your dad's fine, but I'm scared of Grandpa Su… He's so traditional, we get a political lecture from him whenever we see him…" Tang Chuan laughed as he got up. "Oh, right, I forgot to ask you how much money you're giving Huo Mian for her wedding. I heard they weren't going to accept anything, but it's not your style to go empty-handed, haha, after all, you're in love with the bride."

"One day I'm going to rip off your face. What does my present have to do with you?" Su Yu chased Tang Chuan out, not sure if he wanted to laugh or cry.

He refused to tell Tang Chuan what he was going to give the Qin Couple.

After his friend left, Su Yu put away his smile and carefully opened his desk drawer and took out a pink invitation.

His assistant gave it to him this morning; these were the official invitations GK's public relationships department mailed out.

The entire invitation was pink, with cartoons of the bride and groom on the cover, as cute as could be.

Inside the invitation was a paragraph on the left, and a photo of Qin Chu and Huo Mian on the right. It wasn't a wedding photo; rather, it was a photo of them wearing school uniforms.

Huo Mian's hair was in a bob cut, making her look as young as ever. Qin Chu's usually-expressionless face surfaced a rare smile.

He held a backpack in one hand and placed the other around Huo Mian's shoulder. Their smiles were sweet, and their love for each other was evident.

Su Yu felt his heartache upon seeing this invitation - Huo Mian had such a beautiful smile, but she never smiled like that to him.

He would die a happy death if one day, Huo Mian could lean on his shoulder and smile like that.

His gaze landed on the left side of the invitation as he read the paragraph.

"You're like the peach blossoms on a spring day, defying and caressing time. You brightened the sun and nourished the mountains and waters. A lake of spring, a touch of longing, a tree of leaves, and a heart of love. You accompanied me when I was young and naïve. Seven years passed by in a flash, and together, we will be spending countless seven years to come, until the end of our lives. The March wind is as innocent as a child's face, and I am willing to exchange undying vows with you in this season. Qin Chu and Huo Mian - together through thick and thin.

Unlike the invitations of other couples, this paragraph was sweet but not cheesy, touching but not tacky.

Even Su Yu felt his heart melt upon reading this… especially the 'together through thick and thin' part. It was such a simple promise, but it represented Qin Chu and Huo Mian's undying love for each other.

At this thought, Su Yu sighed and carefully put the invitation away.

What was Huo Siqian doing? He was standing next to the windows at his private condo, holding a wine glass in his hand…

Wang Shasha's hands were tied up with a belt, and there were bruises all over her body…
