My Youth Began With Him

“She… left?”

“Yeah.”

“Where did she go?”

“I don’t know,” Huo Mian told him the truth.

“When… will she come back?” An asked anxiously.

“I don’t know. An, I’m sorry, but I truly don’t know her plans.”

“Okay. Thank you, President Huo.”

Hanging up, An looked lost.

“What happened? Look at you… Did you lose a bet on a soccer game?” Su Yu teased him.

“Lu Yan left.”

“Left? Where did she go?” Su Yu was surprised.

“I don’t know. No one knows where she went.”

“Why? Did she have a fight with my Mian and leave their home in anger?”

Su Yu thought the matter was simple.

“President Su, I want to take the day off.”

“Are you going to go and find Lu Yan?” Su Yu looked at An in surprise.

“No. I just… feel low and want to go out to get some fresh air.”

“Um… Do you want me to get a female performer from the company to keep you company, Mr. An?” Su Yu joked.

“No. President Su, I’m in no mood to banter with you.”

Then, An got up and left as if he was in a daze.

Su Yu didn’t ask more questions, knowing An had fallen in love with Huo Mian’s younger sister.

But he knew without a doubt that nothing would come out of it.

He didn’t know Lu Yan’s identity but was sure that An couldn’t manage a girl like Lu Yan; they were two totally different kinds of people.

Su Yu drove to work alone.

Ever since Zeng Rou moved out, they hadn’t contacted each other even though they had each other’s WeChat contact.

Su Yu didn’t like posting updates on Moments and was too lazy to like other people’s updates.

Zeng Rou used to post an update each day.

But after moving out, she had been silent. Su Yu had almost forgotten her existence.

But today, he saw Zeng Rou had posted an update when he browsed through his friend circle posts on WeChat..

She posted a selfie before she had gone on a morning jog.

Wearing a black workout tank top, she didn’t put on makeup. Her face looked less pretty but quite fresh.

She wrote, “Suddenly, I miss the mornings in C City.”

Zeng Rou loved to work out. When she lived in Su Yu’s house, she’d jog alone in the community and swim while Su Yu was at work.

Seeing the update, Su Yu clicked the like button naturally. .

In less than three seconds, Zeng Rou sent him a WeChat message.

“Have you had breakfast?”

“Um… No.” Su Yu didn’t know what to say.

“I told you breakfast can’t be skipped, or you’d hurt your stomach. I bought you cereal and milk and put them in the fridge. If you don’t want to cook, you can mix milk with the cereal. It’s nutritious and delicious.”

“Okay. I’ve been busy and didn’t think of that.”

“If you’re so busy, you can skip all three meals…” Zeng Rou bantered with him.

“No, I can’t do that. I’d starve to death.”

“Good. Then the world will have one less single man. So will our country. Generally, it’s a good thing.”

“Sis, did you eat gunpowder this morning? You want to fight with me?” Su Yu was exasperated.

“Not gunpowder. I ate pesticide.”

Su Yu: “…”

“Okay. Get back to whatever you’ve been doing. I’ll go on with my jogging.”

“Okay.”

Su Yu felt nothing about their casual chat, but Zeng Rou had a secret agenda. She wanted to get close to Su Yu but tried to do it subtly.

– On Lu Yan’s private plane –

“Boss, we’ll land in Bangkok, Thailand in 15 minutes. Do you have any plans after we land?”

Lu Yan was reading a military magazine with great interest, studying all kinds of military weapons and outfits in it.

With a peach in her hand, she was enjoying herself.
