My Youth Began With Him

"You asked the question because you don't trust me?" the professor said with a smile.

"No. I'm just curious."

"Little kid… You're a smart girl…" The professor touched her head lovingly.

In the last couple of days, the twins didn't feel bored as they stayed with the old man.

Instead, they felt intrigued, especially Little Bean; she found her grandpa was extremely knowledgeable and could do anything.

He could cook, cure illnesses, study all kinds of interesting liquids, and do chemical experiments.

He could even do magic tricks and tell them interesting stories about criminal psychology; there was almost nothing he couldn't do.

She even declined Su Yu's offer to take her out for sweets because she didn't want to leave the house.

The professor hadn't lived such a simple life for a long time; after staying with his granddaughters for a few days, he had formed a stronger bond with them and was reluctant to leave.

"Grandpa, please come and see if I got this equation right." Pudding was doing math problems on her tablet.

The professor walked over.

Little Bean took the opportunity and dialed Gao Boyuan's number on her cellphone.

"Hello, Little Bean."

"Boyuan, what are you doing?"

"I'm watching a cartoon."

"Well… You'd rather watch cartoons than talk to me on WeChat. Friendship over."

"Um… No, I thought you were busy, so…"

"I don't want to hear your explanation. Humph, you owe me a bag of seafood-flavored potato chips."

"Okay, okay! A bag of seafood-flavored potato chips." Gao Boyuan nodded repeatedly.

"Where's Auntie Lingling?"

"Mom's cooking soup in the kitchen."

"Is Uncle Gao Ran home, too?"

"No. My dad has been busy lately… He's got lots of things to do in the Bureau."

"Oh. Boyuan, I want to show you something."

Little Bean moved her cellphone over carefully and turned the camera to the vial containing the colorful liquid.

"Look."

"What's that?" Gao Boyuan leaned forward in curiosity.

"This thing is magical. After it's fed to my dad, he'll wake up."

"Awesome… Where did you get it?"

"An immortal gave it to me," Little Bean said with a smirk.

"Liar. There are no immortals in the world."

"Hahaha! Anyway, this is a magical thing that can't be bought with money." Little Bean was in a great mood.

"It will be great if Uncle Qin wakes up. I hope everything goes well with him."

"Yeah. After my dad wakes up, he can hold me again and will help us find Mom."

"Little Bean, if you and Pudding are bored at home, I can ask Mom to go and bring you to our home."

"No. We're not bored. We've lots of fun stuff to do. When Dad wakes up, I'll invite you to have BBQ in our house."

"Okay. Shall we invite Wei Yunchu?" Gao Boyuan asked.

"That's my sister's business and not my concern. Haha."

"Um… Okay."

Ending the call with Gao Boyuan, Little Bean continued to gaze at the small vial with great curiosity.

It was magical that this thing could wake up her dad. Little Bean wondered if her dad would wake up instantly just like the sleeping beauty in the fairy tale.

She felt very happy at the thought.

- On a deserted island overseas -

In the third month of her pregnancy, Huo Mian was always sleepy and slept a lot.

When she woke up, she opened the door and smelt a very tempting scent from the distance.

Wearing only a pair of beach shorts, Huo Siqian had erected a wood stand over the bonfire.

He was roasting a goat leg which was sizzling with oil; it looked ready to be eaten.

Hearing the door open, he turned his head and smiled gently at Huo Mian. "How was your sleep?"
