My Youth Began With Him

After a while, Huo Mian looked up at the sky.

"The moon tonight…"

"Don't interrupt me." These three words shut Huo Mian up.

Huo Mian: "…"

"Answer me."

"Are you here to interrogate me?" Huo Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"No, I just want to hear you say something from your heart… Mian, if you like me, tell me… let me know that the person I like also likes me… If you don't like me, tell me that too. I won't ever make things difficult for you."

Qin Chu was very serious; he probably wanted to use this opportunity to ask her.

After all, in school, there were too many people and there were limited opportunities.

Huo Mian, on the other hand, was the type of person who could change the subject easily.

So on this Yunding Mountain, next to the rainbow fountain outside the hotel.

The two sat side by side, and Qin Chu wanted to make things clear that day.

Whenever he claimed she was his girlfriend in the past—

The little girl seemed to be playing around with him on purpose and did not admit it.

It seemed like his wishful thinking, and because of this, Gao Ran had mocked him for not winning over the study genius.

He knew very well that he wasn't chasing after Huo Mian for her face or because she was a straight-A student.

He wasn't interested in top students, but Huo Mian herself.

Therefore, after suffering for so long, Qin Chu finally chose a good opportunity.

"Qin Chu, this is too sudden…"

"Not at all."

"But we're only teenagers… What do we know?"

"That's why I didn't say 'love', I said 'like '…" Qin Chu explained.

It was silent again… this time it was longer.

About ten seconds later…

Qin Chu seemed to be on the verge of despair. This time, he was putting everything on the line.

If he pushed her too hard, Huo Mian might shrink back, not daring to face their relationship.

In that case, everything he had done in the past would be for naught.

However, it was worth it. Qin Chu only wanted Huo Mian to say one thing and acknowledge him.

After a long silence.

Huo Mian slowly said, "Qin Chu, I like you."

These words pulled Qin Chu back from the brink of despair.

He was ecstatic…

Unable to control himself, he took Huo Mian's hand and held it tightly, wishing he could never let go.

Huo Mian was extremely conflicted; she had given Qin Chu this answer after careful consideration.

Qin Chu was right; she had to follow her heart and talk about her true feelings.

If she liked him, she liked him. There were no additional conditions…

Except…

Huo Mian was still conflicted as she watched Qin Chu hold her hand.

"Qin Chu… but I think we're from two different worlds."

"Don't talk nonsense… Don't talk about not being a match for me, I don't ever believe those old beliefs."

Qin Chu thought she was going to talk about the difference between their families.

Therefore, before Huo Mian could finish her sentence, he quickly refuted her. He had confirmed his feelings for her, and this was a fact that no one could change.

To his surprise, Huo Mian shook her head. "Family background isn't the most important thing… I just feel like I'm too far away from your world."

"Too far? What do you mean? Like…" Qin Chu still didn't let go of her hand.

"For example, your education, your personality, your manners, your interests, your preferences…"

Huo Mian knew that this was the difference between people; it wasn't something that could be explained in a few words.
