    Chapter 78: Captive Love

    Lin Yu frowned slightly in his unconsciousness, as if sensing the strangeness of the environment.

    Ye Xingchen stared intently at Lin Yu through the bars of the cage, his eyes swirling with madness and deep affection.

    He slowly crouched down, his fingers gently tracing the bars of the cage as if caressing Lin Yu, and whispered to himself:

    “Do you know how long I’ve waited for this moment? For so many years, you’ve been so close, yet so far away. You wouldn’t understand that kind of pain. Now it’s good, you finally belong only to me.”

    Three hours later.

    Ye Xingchen calculated the time and walked into the cage, sitting by the bed waiting for him to wake up.

    Perhaps because he had been drinking, he had been unconscious for a relatively long time.

    After waiting for a long time, Lin Yu’s eyelids trembled slightly, and he gradually regained some consciousness.

    He slowly opened his eyes, and in his blurred vision, the first thing that came into view was the top of the cage, and Ye Xingchen’s familiar yet strangely unfamiliar face beside the bed.

    “Xing… Xingchen, where is this… Why are you locking me up here…” Lin Yu’s voice was weak and hoarse, filled with deep confusion and fear.

    He subconsciously wanted to get up, but found his whole body limp and weak, as if all his strength had been drained.

    Ye Xingchen looked at Lin Yu waking up, a comforted yet sick smile appearing on his face.

    He gently took Lin Yu into his arms.

    Lin Yu was in a semi-conscious state, his mind blurred, and he could only instinctively lean on him.

    Ye Xingchen slowly lowered his head, his lips gently covering Lin Yu’s, the kiss filled with a crazy possessiveness, long-suppressed deep affection, and a reckless obsession.

    In his daze, Lin Yu tried to avoid the fiery and mad kiss, but could only utter a few weak whimpers.

    “Ugh, ugh…”

    When the kiss ended, Ye Xingchen released Lin Yu, his forehead pressed tightly against Lin Yu’s, and he said with a disordered breath, “You’ll get used to it. Here, only I will be with you, and you can only rely on me.”

    With that, he slowly got up, walked out of the cage, and locked the door.

    Just as Ye Xingchen turned to leave, Lin Yu turned his head to look at him, weakly calling out, “Xingchen, Xingchen, don’t go…”

    Ye Xingchen’s footsteps suddenly stopped, and he slowly turned his head, looking at Lin Yu with a complicated gaze.

    Lin Yu struggled to support himself, his eyes filled with eagerness and sincerity.

    “Xingchen, I have something to tell you, can you come in?”

    A hint of hesitation flashed in Ye Xingchen’s eyes, and then he said in a cold tone, “It’s too late, I don’t want to listen, I don’t want to hear you reject me again.”

    Lin Yu hurriedly shook his head, coughing a few times due to excitement, and said panting, “I haven’t even said it yet, why do you have to think like that? Can you believe me one more time?”

    “Enough, don’t lie to me anymore!” The voice echoed in the basement, filled with long-accumulated pain and anger.

    Lin Yu slowly sat up, his eyes full of sincerity and helplessness.

    “I’m not lying to you, I’m already like this, how can I lie to you? Come in, please come in?”

    Ye Xingchen stood outside, looking at Lin Yu with complicated eyes, struggling inwardly for a long time.

    Finally, he slowly opened the cage door and walked in.

    Lin Yu was still a little weak at this time. He reached out and tugged at the corner of Ye Xingchen’s clothes, saying in a weak voice, “Xingchen, sit down, I… I feel so uncomfortable.”

    As he spoke, he raised his hand to rub his head, struggling to get a little closer to Ye Xingchen, and then leaned into his arms, tightly hugging Ye Xingchen’s waist.

    Lin Yu took a deep breath and slowly said, “Xingchen, what I said to you before wasn’t all lies. What I said about liking you was true, I really do like you.”

    “I was just afraid, afraid of others knowing about our relationship. You know, being in families like ours, once this kind of thing is exposed, it will bring shame to the family.”

    “I was afraid of those rumors, afraid of causing trouble for our families, so I kept running away, not daring to face my own heart, and not daring to face you. But now I don’t want to run away anymore, I want to bravely face this relationship and be with you.”

    Ye Xingchen’s body trembled slightly as he listened to Lin Yu’s words.

    He lowered his head, looking at the weak and sincere Lin Yu in his arms, a trace of emotion flashing in his eyes, and the ice in his heart began to gradually melt.

    “You… Are you telling the truth?” Ye Xingchen’s voice trembled slightly, he couldn’t believe that his long-standing desire was being answered at this moment.

    Lin Yu raised his head, looking at Ye Xingchen with a firm gaze.

    “It’s true, Xingchen. I know that my previous actions have hurt you a lot, but I hope you can believe me and give me a chance, let’s face the future together, okay?”

    Ye Xingchen was silent for a moment, his eyes gradually moistening.

    He gently hugged Lin Yu tightly, as if afraid that if he let go, everything before him would turn into a bubble.

    “Okay, I believe you. From now on, we’ll never be apart again…”

    After a while, seeing that his emotions weren’t so extreme, Lin Yu tentatively said, “Then let me out.”

    As soon as the words came out, Ye Xingchen seemed to suddenly react, and abruptly pushed Lin Yu away, his eyes instantly filled with vigilance and anger again.

    “You still say you didn’t lie to me!” Ye Xingchen’s voice was very loud, and his voice cracked with excitement.

    “You said so much, just to get me to let you out. Heh… So what you just said was just to trick me into opening the cage.”

    Lin Yu was pushed and fell on the bed, he quickly struggled to get up, anxiously explaining:

    “Xingchen, it’s not like that! I really want to face the future with you. I promise, after going out, I won’t leave you, I will always be with you, please believe me!”

    Ye Xingchen’s face was full of distrust, he paced back and forth in the cage, constantly grabbing his hair with both hands, his expression painful and conflicted.

    “How can you make me believe you? I finally managed to keep you by my side, but you’reyīxīn- whole heartedly thinking about leaving.”

    Lin Yu looked at Ye Xingchen’s out-of-control appearance, his heart filled with heartache.

    He slowly approached Ye Xingchen again, cautiously taking his hand.

    “Xingchen, I know I’ve disappointed you many times, but this time it’s for real. Let’s go out, be together properly, okay? Look, how can we be properly together in this cage?”

    Ye Xingchen stopped, his eyes full of struggle, he didn’t know whether to believe Lin Yu again, his heart wavering between love and fear.

    Ye Xingchen was silent for a long time, his heart was fighting fiercely.

    On the one hand, his deep love for Lin Yu made him eager to believe Lin Yu’s promise; on the other hand, the past made him afraid to take this step easily.

    Finally, Ye Xingchen took a deep breath and slowly said, “Okay, I’ll believe you one more time. But if you leave me again, I…”

    Ye Xingchen didn’t continue, but the determination in his eyes made Lin Yu understand that this was his last bottom line.

    Lin Yu hugged Ye Xingchen tightly, as if responding to his trust.

    “Don’t worry, Xingchen, I won’t let you down again.”

    Ye Xingchen gently pushed Lin Yu away, slowly turned around and opened the cage door.
