My Youth Began With Him

"No."

"The doctor told me everything. You dare to lie to me?" Su Yu continued coldly.

"I'm not lying. The doctor doesn't know how to count. I didn't eat six pounds of lychee. I ate much more than that, thank you very much."

"…"

"Why aren't you dead yet?" Su Yu scolded.

"Haha, if I die, you'll be in trouble. The headlines would be 'Jane Doe dies in the private mansion of Su Yu, reasons unknown'. How's that for a title?"

"Shut up!" Su Yu was furious.

"Hey, I'm the patient. Can't you be a little nicer?"

"Nice? Do you deserve my niceness? Let me ask you something. Were you starved in your past life? Have you never had lychee before? Are you from some rural village? Six pounds all at once! Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

This was the first time Su Yu had met a woman like this, eating herself all the way into the hospital.

Luckily, it was nothing serious. Otherwise, if she had really died, the two boxes of lychees he gave her would be the murder weapon.

"Ha, it really was delicious. I couldn't help myself. I've always loved the taste of lychee but this was the first time I've tasted such delicious ones. Juicy, large, and round!" Zeng Rou licked her lips.

"Shut your mouth. Tomorrow, when you're released from the hospital, go back to your own home."

"Su Yu, can you not? What else can you do other than chase me away? Are you scared of me or something?"

"Yes, I'm scared of you. Miss Zeng, Lady Zeng… please spare me. As the daughter of the secretary head of state, you can find any man you want. Please leave me alone. Could you please stop grossing me out?"

"Su Yu, I'm not trying to gross you out. I'm only…" Zeng Rou paused.

"Only what?" Su Yu wanted to hear the rest of her sentence.

"I just wanted to say that… you should treat me as a friend. I just want to stay with you for a while. I won't cause you any trouble. Actually, I just want to see how much you like Doctor Huo…" Zeng Rou mumbled the last sentence quietly, inaudible to Su Yu.

"You leaving would be enough for me."

"Su Yu, I'm going to be straight with you. Really, let's just be friends. I won't ask to be your wife anymore… and I won't try to seduce you with spaghetti straps anymore. You don't have to treat me like a woman. Treat me like a brother. Just… don't chase me away. I'll spend my own money and won't ask you to spend yours, okay? Just pretend you're leasing out a room, okay?"

Zeng Rou continued to compromise, wanting to persuade Su Yu into letting her stay.

"Zeng Rou, no matter what you're looking for, I'm not the one to give it to you." Su Yu was very frank.

"I don't want anything. I just want to be your friend."

"Don't get any ideas about me and don't bother Huo Mian. Really, I don't want any woman to cause her trouble because of me…" Su Yu warned.

"Wow, you really are dedicated to her…"

Zeng Rou was finally able to see Su Yu's love for Huo Mian. Even before meeting Huo Mian, Su Yu warned her not to cause the woman any trouble…

However, the more he insisted, the more Zeng Rou wanted to meet Huo Mian.

"Su Yu, I promise you that I won't cause any trouble for Huo Mian. I'm not a manipulative shrew or a pretentious bitch… of course, I'm also no Mother Theresa. I'm just a normal person with emotions. I promise I won't cause you any trouble. Just pretend that I'm the maid, okay? I'll cook and clean for you, alright?"

Zeng Rou seemed resolute in her decision to stay next to Su Yu. Her attitude completely shifted and she wasn't as stuck up as before.
