Chapter 63: Utterly Impossible for Me

Chapter 63: Utterly Impossible for Me

From the moment Ye Xingchen appeared like a hero today, rescuing him from Wang Huaian’s clutches,

to his anxious and concerned expression later at the hospital, and then the meticulous care he received back at the villa…

Everything Ye Xingchen had done for him played in his mind like a movie.

Once, he thought he could let go, that he could treat Ye Xingchen as just a friend, and genuinely wish him and his so-called “fiancée” well.

But when he really tried to let go, to utter those words of blessing, his heart felt like it was being fiercely gripped by something, the pain unbearable.

He originally thought he could face it with equanimity, that he could watch Ye Xingchen walk towards his “predestined” life path, but now he realized that it was utterly impossible for him.

Those blessings he thought he could easily say, each word was like a thorn, piercing his heart.

He tightly closed his eyes, trying to drive away these chaotic thoughts, but Ye Xingchen’s face became increasingly clear in his mind.

His eyes, his concerned gaze, his gentle words… all of this made the struggle within Lin Yu’s heart even more intense.

He silently asked himself, was he really going to miss out on this relationship?

But the various obstacles of reality were like an invisible mountain, lying between them.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu’s brow furrowed tightly, and a tear unconsciously overflowed from the corner of his eye, slowly sliding onto the pillow in the silent night.

The next morning, sunlight gently streamed through the gap in the curtains, softly illuminating Ye Xingchen’s face.

He slowly woke up, reached for his phone on the bedside table, and instinctively called his assistant, Secretary Shen.

As soon as the call connected, Ye Xingchen said directly: “Secretary Shen, I won’t be going to the company today. Please keep an eye on things there for me. Contact me if anything important comes up.”

“Okay, Ye Total.”

After hanging up, he quickly flipped out of bed, quickly washed up, casually threw on a casual outfit, and hurried to Lin Yu’s room.

He gently turned the doorknob, and the door opened silently.

Ye Xingchen tiptoed into the room, only to see Lin Yu still immersed in sleep, his even breathing particularly clear in the quiet room.

Ye Xingchen leaned down slightly, quietly gazing at Lin Yu, his eyes filled with tenderness.

After contemplating for a moment, he quietly withdrew from the room and went downstairs.

Arriving at the kitchen, Ye Xingchen saw the servants busily preparing breakfast.

He pondered for a moment and said, “You can all go home. I’m giving you a few days off.”

The servants were stunned and looked at each other. One of the older servants hesitated and said, “This…”

Ye Xingchen waved his hand. “It’s okay. Just let them know. You can all go. I’ll take care of the rest.”

Hearing this, the servants were immediately overjoyed and thanked him profusely before happily leaving.

Ye Xingchen turned and tied on an apron, determined to make Lin Yu a nutritious breakfast.

He decided to make a fish fillet congee.

He first rinsed the rice clean, put it in a pot, added an appropriate amount of water, and started slowly simmering it over low heat.

Then, he selected a fresh sea bass, skillfully scaled it, gutted it, and deboned it, cutting the fish meat into thin slices and marinating them for a moment with green onion and ginger water, cooking wine, a little salt, and cornstarch.

While waiting for the congee to thicken, Ye Xingchen dropped the marinated fish slices into the pot one by one, gently stirring to prevent them from sticking together.

Before long, the fish slices swirled in the pot, turning as white as jade, and a delicious aroma instantly filled the air.

He also sprinkled a handful of emerald green scallions, adding a few touches of tempting color to the congee.

In addition to the fish fillet congee, Ye Xingchen also prepared several refreshing and delicious side dishes.

When everything was ready, Ye Xingchen carried the steaming fish fillet congee and side dishes to the dining table one by one.

After that, he went upstairs again, preparing to see if Lin Yu had woken up.

As he approached the door, he happened to hear the sound of water coming from the washroom.

Before long, Lin Yu finished washing up, opened the door, and walked out.

He was slightly startled to see Ye Xingchen standing in the room, then a faint smile appeared on his face.

Ye Xingchen returned the smile and said, “You’re awake. How are you feeling? Come downstairs for breakfast. I made the fish fillet congee you like.”

Lin Yu said with a smile, “I’m fine. Thank you for your trouble.”

“No trouble at all!”

The two smiled at each other and went downstairs together. The table was set with the breakfast Ye Xingchen had carefully prepared. The fish fillet congee was still steaming, and the refreshing side dishes were attractively colored.

Ye Xingchen pulled out a chair and motioned for Lin Yu to sit down.

“Try my cooking and see if you like it.”

Lin Yu scooped up a spoonful of fish fillet congee, gently blew on it, and put it in his mouth. The softness of the congee, the tenderness of the fish fillets, and the faint aroma of scallions spread on his tongue. He couldn’t help but nod slightly: “It’s delicious. Your cooking has always been very good.”

Seeing Lin Yu eating with satisfaction, a happy smile also appeared on Ye Xingchen’s face, and he started eating along with him.

During the meal, the two occasionally exchanged a few words, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

Before long, they finished breakfast.

Seeing that Ye Xingchen was still at home, Lin Yu couldn’t help but ask, “Why haven’t you gone to the company yet? Aren’t you going to work?”

Ye Xingchen looked at Lin Yu and said in a light tone: “I’m not going today. I’m keeping you company.”

At this time, Ye Xingchen looked at the bright sunshine outside the window and suggested, “Let’s go out and get some sun, go to the yard.”

Lin Yu happily agreed, and the two went to the yard together.

The flowers and plants in the yard were vibrant under the sunlight, emitting a faint fragrance.

They found a comfortable corner where several lounge chairs were placed.

Ye Xingchen and Lin Yu sat down and enjoyed the warm sunshine.

Ye Xingchen turned to look at Lin Yu, seeing him squinting slightly, looking content, and then looked at the surrounding scenery. He couldn’t help but ask, “Do you want to paint? I’ll get everything ready for you.”

Lin Yu pondered for a moment, remembering that he hadn’t painted for a long time, and nodded, “Thank you.”

Ye Xingchen immediately got up and soon brought all the tools needed for painting.

He set up the easel, secured the canvas, and neatly arranged the paints and brushes.

Lin Yu looked at the comprehensive tools, his heart filled with emotion.

At this time, Ye Xingchen had a new idea. He looked at the sea not far away.

“Let’s go to the Seaside for a walk and find some inspiration. The scenery here is beautiful, it will definitely be beautiful in a painting.”

Lin Yu followed his gaze. The sparkling sea surface was dreamlike under the sunlight. It was indeed a great scene for painting, so he nodded in agreement: “Okay!”

So, Ye Xingchen carefully put away the painting tools, and the two walked side by side towards the Seaside.

The sea breeze gently brushed over them, carrying a trace of saltiness, stirring their hair.

The waves rhythmically beat against the beach, making pleasant sounds.

Lin Yu took a deep breath, feeling this wonderful atmosphere, and the inspiration for creation gradually surged in his heart.
