    Chapter 51: What Exactly Are You Afraid Of?

    Ye Xingchen stood in the living room, his figure appearing lonely and obsessive.

    He took a deep breath, turned, and went back to the room. Looking at Lin Yu’s peaceful face in his sleep, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

    He gently sat down on the edge of the bed, his eyes filled with deep affection as he gazed at Lin Yu’s tranquil face in his dream. He slowly reached out and gently stroked, caressing his cheeks.

    Then, he lay down directly and abruptly pulled Lin Yu into his arms, holding him tightly.

    Lin Yu was startled awake by Ye Xingchen’s sudden action. He frowned slightly, opened his eyes, glanced at him, and then gently placed his hand on his waist.

    “Xingchen, stop fooling around, go to sleep,” he said, his tone extremely gentle and indulgent.

    Ye Xingchen was stunned for a moment, then hugged Lin Yu even tighter, and slowly closed his eyes, but his heart was still filled with turbulent thoughts.

    The next day, Lin Yu woke up in Ye Xingchen’s arms.

    Ye Xingchen was still asleep, his peaceful sleeping face as exquisite as a sculpture.

    Lin Yu couldn’t help but reach out, his fingers gently touching Ye Xingchen’s lips, feeling the slight warmth.

    Just then, Ye Xingchen suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed his hand.

    “What do you want to do early in the morning? Are you plotting something against me…”

    Lin Yu’s face flushed instantly upon hearing this, and he stammered, “I…I just…”

    Ye Xingchen looked at his flustered appearance, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he squeezed his hand even tighter.

    “Hmm? Speak.”

    Lin Yu wanted to break free, but couldn’t. So, he steeled himself and said softly, “I just think you’re good-looking, is that not allowed!”

    Ye Xingchen smiled indulgently upon hearing this and pulled Lin Yu back into his arms.

    “Then look at me for a while longer.”

    “No… I’m not looking anymore.”

    Ye Xingchen’s voice came from above him, “Tell me, you clearly love me so much, why do you want to push me away? Doesn’t that make you sad?”

    Lin Yu nestled in his arms, greedily inhaling his unique woody sandalwood scent.

    “What’s the use of being sad? Can a relationship like ours have a future?”

    Ye Xingchen sat up, held Lin Yu’s shoulders with both hands, and said seriously, “Why can’t it? As long as we work together, nothing can stop us.”

    A hint of hesitation flashed in Lin Yu’s eyes, “But…”

    Ye Xingchen interrupted him with a complicated expression, “No buts, trust me.”

    This is your last chance.

    After a long silence, Lin Yu broke free from his restraint and got up, saying as he walked, “Don’t force me, I don’t want to. Today is almost over, and there’s only one day left.”

    Ye Xingchen’s face turned gloomy instantly upon hearing this. He followed him out, glaring at Lin Yu.

    “Can’t you see my sincerity towards you? You keep running away. What exactly are you afraid of?”

    Lin Yu sat on the sofa, turning his head away, not daring to look at him, “What’s the use of sincerity? We can’t escape the judgment of the world after all.”

    Seeing his attitude, Ye Xingchen was angry but still restrained himself.

    Then he ordered directly, “Isn’t there still time? Come and keep me company.”

    As he spoke, he grabbed Lin Yu’s arm without another word, dragging Lin Yu towards the bedroom as if he were carrying a chick.

    Lin Yu struggled desperately, trying to break free from his restraint, and shouted, “You’re hurting me.”

    Ye Xingchen ignored him completely, his grip tightening, clamping down on Lin Yu like iron pliers, dragging him forward without any mercy.

    Lin Yu’s footsteps faltered, and he almost fell, but he still couldn’t stop Ye Xingchen’s barbaric actions.

    As soon as they entered the bedroom, Ye Xingchen threw Lin Yu onto the bed, and his tall body pressed down on top of him. His hands pinned Lin Yu’s shoulders, his eyes bloodshot, and he said through gritted teeth, “You’re not going anywhere today. You have to stay here and keep me company!”

    Lin Yu’s eyes widened in horror, his face full of panic and fear, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

    “Ye Xingchen, you’re really crazy! Let me go.”

    Ye Xingchen seemed to have fallen into madness, sneering and saying with a twisted expression, “Yes, I’m crazy, driven crazy by you! No matter what you say, I just want you by my side!”

    Just then, Lin Yu suddenly said aggrievedly, “I’m hungry.”

    Hearing this, Ye Xingchen was stunned for a moment, then got up and walked out without a word.

    Soon, he came back with a bowl of steaming noodles, and ordered, “Eat!”

    Lin Yu silently took the noodles, slowly eating them while pondering a way out…

    As soon as he finished eating, Lin Yu tried to reason with him, “Xingchen, this isn’t going to work. You can’t force me.”

    Before he could finish speaking, Ye Xingchen put the bowl aside and pounced on Lin Yu again, and the two of them fell onto the bed.

    “Full now?” His tone was both ambiguous and irresistibly domineering.

    Lin Yu’s body trembled with fear at his sudden action, and he used his hands to push against Ye Xingchen’s chest, his voice trembling as he said, “Xingchen, don’t do this, calm down… calm down.”

    But Ye Xingchen had no intention of stopping. He grabbed Lin Yu’s wrists tightly, pinning them above his head.

    Leaning down towards Lin Yu’s ear, he said, panting, “I can’t calm down.”

    A trace of heartache and helplessness flashed in Lin Yu’s eyes, and tears welled up in his eyes. He choked and said, “Xingchen, even if I love you, you can’t do this.”

    Ye Xingchen paused slightly, then roared even more frantically, “Love me? If you love me, why do you keep rejecting me? No one can save you today. You have to be mine!” With that, he kissed Lin Yu’s lips fiercely.

    Ye Xingchen bit and gnawed frantically, and Lin Yu couldn’t help but gasp “Hiss—” in pain. He struggled desperately, but couldn’t break free from his strong restraints.

    “Ugh… Ye Xingchen, you… let me go!” Lin Yu’s voice was muffled between his lips, indistinct.

    Ye Xingchen seemed not to hear him, kissing him more and more intensely.

    Lin Yu was anxious and angry, and tears couldn’t stop flowing down.

    “Ye Xingchen, you’ll ruin us if you do this…”

    Ye Xingchen stopped kissing, panting, and stared at Lin Yu with bloodshot eyes.

    “Then let’s be destroyed together.”

    Knowing that he couldn’t resist, Lin Yu closed his eyes in despair, tears falling uncontrollably, his heart sinking bit by bit.

    Just then, Ye Xingchen’s movements suddenly stopped. He looked at Lin Yu’s face full of tears and despair, and his heart ached fiercely.

    “Yu… I…” Ye Xingchen’s voice was full of pain and struggle, and he slowly released his grip, his body retreating.

    Lin Yu took the opportunity to break free, curled up in the quilt, and sobbed non-stop.

    Ye Xingchen stood there blankly, looking at the lump under the quilt, his heart full of remorse and self-blame.

    “Yu, I’m sorry… I was too impulsive, I…”

    “I only kissed you a few times, and didn’t do anything too outrageous. Can you stop crying?”

    Lin Yu: “Wuu wuu…”

    “Get up, what’s with all the crying?”

    “Wuu wuu…”
