My Youth Began With Him

“Friend? That shouldn’t be… I’ve investigated him before. There’s nothing suspicious. The important thing is there’s no connection between us.” Su Yu looked so innocent.

“What about enemies? Do you have any enemies?”

“Enemies… then I’m done for. I have so many I don’t even know the number.”

“…”

“Fine, you win.”

“Haha, it’s okay. My grandpa won’t let anything happen to me. Don’t worry.”

“I know. Worst comes to worst, you’ll get a couple of years. Then Grandpa Su will bail you out for medical purposes and send you abroad for a year or two. Later on, you’ll come back after the storm blows over,” Huo Mian spoke for him.

Su Yu nodded his head vigorously. “Smart girl. That’s right.”

“But… I won’t let that happen.” Huo Mian looked serious.

“Ugh… then how many years do you want me to get?” Su Yu joked.

“Are you dumb? You didn’t even do this. What you need to do now is clear your name, not think about how to reduce your sentence,” Huo Mian said.

“I know. I want to do that too but the evidence is conclusive. And with so many witnesses and all the pressure from the media, I think… it’ll be very difficult.” Su Yu was a reasonable man. He knew that, since it was a setup, they probably designed a foolproof plan to trap him.

So, he wasn’t hoping for his name to be cleared…

“What kind of bullshit is that? You need to prove your innocence, no matter how difficult it’ll be. You didn’t do this, why should you take the blame?!” Huo Mian was beyond furious.

“Mian… you’re… really busy recently… stop worrying about me. I’m fine. I promise. You should talk to Qin Chu and handle Zhang Manlin. You’ve really been too nice recently… All kinds of random people are walking all over you. As the wife of the richest man in the city, it makes sense that you’re being watched by everyone. Qin Chu’s popularity with women is also expected. The strange thing is how you’re just accepting all of this. You can’t just sit back and let things just happen. Do something to stop them. If they still don’t back off, just get rid of them.” Su Yu seemed nonchalant.

“You worried about me? You’re the clay Buddha crossing a river right now, dude. Save yourself from drowning first.” Huo Mian was both mad and amused.

“It’s alright. Whether I’m a clay Buddha or a gold Buddha, the fact that I’m a Buddha is already impressive. Nothing that happens to me will ever change the fact that I’m the oldest son of the Su Family.” Su Yu was very proud.

“Get over yourself…” Huo Mian smiled.

Under these circumstances, having Huo Mian across from him, smiling at him, Su Yu couldn’t be any happier.

The fact that Huo Mian came to see him, to care for him at such a sensitive time, even as a friend, moved him to his core.

Basically, he was in love with the right person.

“Why are you looking at me?” Huo Mian asked. Su Yu had stopped talking and was now staring at her, as if in a daze.

“Ahem… well, I was in here for a whole entire night and I didn’t see any females. Now I understand why those freshly released people from prison or detention centers will gawk at any female they can find, even if it’s a female teddy, hahaha.”

“You’re calling me a female teddy?” Huo Mian’s face darkened.

“Ahem… I said the wrong thing again… damn it… Mian, I didn’t mean anything by it, haha, I’m not talking about you, I swear.”

Su Yu was really overjoyed that he didn’t even know how to tell jokes anymore.
