TCBHIWAF Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Not Afraid of the World’s Views

Ye Xingchen looked at the menu, occasionally raising his head to ask for Lin Yu’s opinion. Lin Yu only smiled and nodded, his eyes never leaving him.

After ordering, the dishes were quickly served…

During the meal, Lin Yu took the initiative to pick up the cutlery, picking up food and bringing it to Ye Xingchen’s mouth.

“Your hand is injured, let me feed you.”

Ye Xingchen was stunned at first, then slightly opened his mouth to accept the feeding.

In the restaurant, the eyes of diners around them occasionally turned to them, sizing them up.

Their outstanding appearance, and the tenderness they showed when they were together, naturally attracted a lot of discussion.

Two young girls at the next table first widened their eyes, one of them gently nudged her companion with her elbow, pursed her lips, and gestured to look at Lin Yu and Ye Xingchen, whispering in surprise: “Oh my god, look at those two men, they’re actually feeding each other!”

The other girl also covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes flashing with gossip, and responded in a low voice, “This is too…”

Their discussion caused people at several tables around them to look sideways.

Not far away, a middle-aged uncle frowned and muttered in a low voice: “Two grown men, acting like this in public, what’s it supposed to look like.”

The lady sitting across from the uncle gently patted his arm and said, “What do you know? Didn’t you see that the boy’s hand is injured? He’s just taking care of him, don’t think of people as so complicated.”

After hearing this, the uncle scratched his head and closed his mouth a little embarrassedly.

Lin Yu turned a deaf ear to the surrounding words, concentrating on feeding Ye Xingchen.

Ye Xingchen was surprised by his change. Did his not fearing the world’s views mean that he was willing to be with him…

Under Lin Yu’s careful feeding, Ye Xingchen’s face rarely carried a gentle smile. The two of them chatted softly, occasionally smiling at each other because of a certain topic. Their every move was full of intimacy that was difficult for others to integrate into.

After they finished their meal, Lin Yu excitedly took out the drawing board and looked at Ye Xingchen with expectant eyes.

“Xingchen, I found a great spot, stand there and let me paint a picture of you.”

Ye Xingchen readily agreed, following Lin Yu to a corner of the deck with a wide view and beautiful scenery.

He stood still according to Lin Yu’s instructions. His posture was upright, and his face was cold and handsome, like a natural painting.

Lin Yu stared at Ye Xingchen, his eyes full of focus and affection. The paintbrush in his hand quickly sketched lines on the drawing board.

The sea breeze gently blew, Ye Xingchen’s clothes fluttered slightly, and his hair danced in the wind.

Lin Yu’s paintbrush never stopped, as if he wanted to eternally preserve this beautiful moment.

Just after finishing a painting, the two of them were admiring it together.

Ye Xingchen rarely showed a heartfelt smile and complimented, “The painting is good.”

“It’s okay.” Then he looked at the surrounding scenery, “Or, I’ll draw a sea chart for you as a gift.”

Ye Xingchen readily agreed, then took a stool and sat next to him, watching silently.

At this time, Shen Qianqian came over and found them.

Gu Chennan followed behind.

Shen Qianqian walked over and said with some shyness, “Brother Yu.”

“Is something the matter?”

Shen Qianqian continued, “Brother Yu, can you paint one for me?” Her eyes were full of expectation.

Lin Yu smiled politely, “Qianqian, I’m sorry, it’s not convenient today. I made it clear to you yesterday that I don’t have that kind of feeling for you. Now I want to focus on painting for Xingchen.”

Shen Qianqian bit her lip, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she still didn’t give up: “Brother Yu, just one, it’ll be quick.”

“Qianqian, it’s really not possible today, maybe next time.”

Ye Xingchen stood up and said coldly, “Yu has already made it very clear, please leave!”

Seeing this, Gu Chennan hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Shen Qianqian, “Qianqian, don’t make things difficult for them, let’s go.”

Shen Qianqian glanced at Lin Yu unwillingly and was pulled away by Gu Chennan.

Lin Yu continued to paint, as if the little episode just now didn’t exist.

Ye Xingchen looked at Lin Yu’s back with a complex expression. He couldn’t figure out why “Yu” always attracted peach blossoms. Even if he rejected them, they would still stick to him.

At this time, Lin Yu turned his head to look at Ye Xingchen and asked, seeing that his expression was a little abnormal, “What’s wrong with you? You’re not jealous, are you?”

Then, he took the initiative to reach out and pull him over to sit down.

“Xingchen, I hope you don’t think too much, when you’re with me, don’t think about anything, okay?”

Ye Xingchen was silent and didn’t speak.

Lin Yu spoke again, “I just want to be with you properly.”

After all, there were only a few days left.

Seeing that his complexion was a little better, Lin Yu took the initiative to pull him and let him hold the paintbrush, holding his hand to start painting…

Shen Qianqian and Gu Chennan were watching them from a distance.

Shen Qianqian complained, “Brother Chen, you didn’t even help me just now.”

Gu Chennan said helplessly, “Didn’t you see that they were busy? Other people can’t integrate into it at all.”

Shen Qianqian was a little unwilling: “Humph!”

Gu Chennan hurriedly persuaded, “Don’t provoke Ye Xingchen, he was obviously angry just now, we can’t afford to offend him.”

Shen Qianqian was still unwilling: “But I’m not reconciled!”

Gu Chennan continued to persuade, “For so many years, you haven’t seen any scandals around your Brother Yu, just one good friend. Pursue him slowly, don’t be impatient.”

Shen Qianqian frowned, with an unwilling expression on her face.

“How can I not be anxious, Brother Yu is so indifferent to me.”

Gu Chennan patted Shen Qianqian’s shoulder.

“Feelings can’t be rushed. The more you push, the more your Brother Yu may resent it. You have to slowly let him see your good side.”

Shen Qianqian bit her lip.

“Okay, then I’ll listen to you.”

“That’s right, let’s go first, don’t stare here.”

When the sea chart was finished, it was already five o’clock in the afternoon, and the ship was about to dock.

Lin Yu put down the paintbrush and said, “Let’s go, go back and pack up your things, get ready to go back.”

Ye Xingchen responded, “Okay.”

The two walked towards the room side by side, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on them, casting long shadows.

After packing up, they got off the ship. Ye Xingchen told Lin Yu to wait a moment while he went to get the car.

Soon, Ye Xingchen drove the car over.

As soon as he got in the car, Ye Xingchen asked, “Going back to the Seaside Villa?”

Lin Yu smiled and directly agreed, “Okay.”

Seeing Lin Yu being so obedient, Ye Xingchen was stunned for a moment, turned to look at him, “Are you really willing to be with me?”

Lin Yu looked at him and said firmly, “Willing.” Then he reached out and gently held his hand.

Ye Xingchen’s heart was full of joy, he stepped on the gas pedal, and the car sped towards the Seaside Villa.
