TCBHIWAF Chapter 79

Chapter 79 The Only Person I’ve Ever Cared About Has Always Been You

Seeing him open the door, Lin Yu was just about to get up and leave when Ye Xingchen quickly stepped forward and swept him up in his arms.

After a dizzying spin, Lin Yu was held tightly in his embrace.

Lin Yu was a little embarrassed, “Um… I can walk myself.”

Ye Xingchen’s face instantly darkened, a hint of hurt and grievance flashing in his eyes, his tone tinged with a hint of complaint: “You just said you wouldn’t let me down again, what, can’t I even hug you?”

Lin Yu quickly explained, his voice full of apology, “It’s not that I don’t want to, I… I just think I can walk myself, I don’t want to trouble you.”

Ye Xingchen held him steadily as he walked out, responding softly, “It’s no trouble, holding you makes me feel at ease.”

The two returned to Ye Xingchen’s room.

Ye Xingchen gently placed Lin Yu on the bed, while he sat down beside the bed, looking at Lin Yu with gentle and expectant eyes.

“From now on, you’ll live with me, okay?”

Lin Yu’s cheeks flushed instantly, his heart filled with a complex mix of shyness and sweetness.

After hesitating for a moment, he whispered, “Okay~”

After speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and biting his lip slightly, he asked cautiously, “I… I want to go back to Yunling Villa, can I?”

Ye Xingchen didn’t hesitate, looking at Lin Yu with firm and affectionate eyes.

“Of course, wherever you live, I’ll live. As long as I can be with you, going anywhere is the same to me.”

As he spoke, he gently took Lin Yu’s hand, their fingers intertwined, as if promising each other the steadfastness of this relationship.

Lin Yu gazed at Ye Xingchen, feeling both happiness and a hint of worry.

Although their hearts were connected at this moment, and they had decided to move forward hand in hand, could the road ahead really be so smooth?

The family’s reputation, the strange gazes of the outside world… he didn’t dare to think about it anymore.

Ye Xingchen keenly noticed the subtle changes in Lin Yu’s emotions, and he gently pulled Lin Yu into his arms, his chin resting lightly on the top of Lin Yu’s head.

“Don’t worry, no matter what we encounter in the future, we’ll carry it together. I won’t let you face those pressures alone, all you have to do is believe in me.”

Lin Yu leaned in Ye Xingchen’s arms, reaching out to hug his waist.

After a while, Lin Yu looked up slightly, looking at Ye Xingchen with a hint of doubt and unease in his eyes, and asked, “You… you’re with me, what about your fiancee?”

Ye Xingchen smiled and pinched Lin Yu’s cheek.

“She’s just someone I brought in to make you jealous, I just wanted to see if you would be jealous. I wanted to test your feelings for me.”

“Then what you did yesterday…” Lin Yu wrinkled his nose, pretending to be angry.

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Xingchen gently tapped Lin Yu’s forehead, saying indulgently, “If I didn’t say that, would you be jealous? If I didn’t act a little more convincingly, how could I have hidden it from you?”

Changing the subject, a hint of jealousy flashed in Ye Xingchen’s eyes, and he asked, “Then what about you, what’s going on with Xia Meng?”

“She’s not my girlfriend, we were pretending.”

Remembering the scene he saw yesterday, Ye Xingchen still felt a little uncomfortable.

“But you kissed yesterday.”

Lin Yu explained anxiously, “It was fake, she blocked it with her hand yesterday, we didn’t actually kiss.”

“Listening to you, are you a little disappointed that you didn’t kiss?”

Just as Ye Xingchen was about to get angry, Lin Yu became anxious, gently pulling him closer to himself, looking up slightly, and lightly pecking Ye Xingchen’s lips like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Ye Xingchen was stunned at first, then his body instantly stiffened, a tense emotion spreading from the bottom of his heart, and his hands clenched unconsciously.

Lin Yu let go slightly, gazing at Ye Xingchen, his eyes full of affection and guilt.

“Don’t be angry, I admit, it was wrong of me to ask Xia Meng to act. But I was really afraid to face the feelings between us, so I kept running away. But after Xia Meng’s guidance yesterday, I realized that I need to be brave.”

“So I should thank her?” Ye Xingchen looked at Lin Yu angrily.

“Xingchen, the only person I’ve ever cared about has always been you! Can you not mention her?”

Before the words fell, Lin Yu slowly approached again, his eyes full of longing and determination.

His lips gently touched Ye Xingchen’s, first gently caressing, as if to appease Ye Xingchen’s anger just now.

Afterwards, the kiss gradually deepened, Lin Yu’s breath became increasingly hot, his hands gently holding Ye Xingchen’s face, and the two slowly fell backward.

Under this sudden wave of tenderness, Ye Xingchen’s original anger and defensiveness completely collapsed.

He nervously gripped the sheets under him tightly, an unprecedented sense of numbness surging from the bottom of his heart, his mind was blank, and all his thoughts were occupied by Lin Yu’s kiss.

After an unknown amount of time, the passionate kiss finally ended.

Ye Xingchen was panting slightly, his cheeks flushed, but he still said with a hint of arrogance, “You’re not allowed to lie to me again.”

“I promise I won’t.” Lin Yu’s cheeks were still flushed from the passionate kiss just now, he looked at Ye Xingchen and changed the subject, “Xingchen, I’m hungry, I want to eat the food you make. I haven’t had your food lately, I’ve lost weight.”

The corners of Ye Xingchen’s mouth turned up slightly, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes. After looking him up and down, he deliberately dragged out his tone, his tone ambiguous, “Well, you have lost weight, but…”

As soon as Lin Yu heard this, his face turned even redder.

Ye Xingchen’s ill-intentioned gaze still lingered on him, and he looked him over carefully again, seemingly confirming the words he had just said.

Lin Yu felt uncomfortable all over, and couldn’t help but get up directly, gently pushing Ye Xingchen away, pretending to be angry, “You… what kind of look is that? Hurry up and cook!”

Ye Xingchen looked at Lin Yu’s shy appearance, finding it quite cute, and stood up with a smile.

“Okay, okay, I’ll go make it for you right away.”

After speaking, he turned and walked towards the kitchen, while Lin Yu sat on the bed, unconsciously touching his burning cheeks, the corners of his mouth unable to help but turn up slightly.

After a while, Lin Yu came downstairs and immediately saw Ye Xingchen busy in the kitchen.

He walked over lightly, gently wrapping his arms around Ye Xingchen’s waist from behind, his movements gentle and natural, and asked softly, “Xingchen, what are you doing?”

Ye Xingchen’s body stiffened slightly, feeling Lin Yu’s warm breath, but quickly returned to normal, deftly manipulating the frying pan.

“Aren’t you hungry? I’ll just pan-fry a steak and make a vegetable salad.”

The corners of Lin Yu’s mouth turned up slightly, resting his head on Ye Xingchen’s back, his voice gentle, “You’re working hard.”

Ye Xingchen tilted his head slightly, glanced at Lin Yu, his expression relaxed a little, “Go wash your hands first, it’ll be ready soon.”

Lin Yu didn’t intend to let go, but tightened his arms instead, his voice carrying a hint of attachment, “Let me hug you for a while, it makes me feel at ease leaning on you like this.”

Ye Xingchen was helpless, but the movements of flipping the steak in his hand didn’t stop.

“Don’t mess around, the steak will burn in a while.”

Only then did Lin Yu let go, but he didn’t leave immediately, but stood beside Ye Xingchen, watching him pan-fry the steak, his eyes full of appreciation and love.

“Xingchen, the way you seriously cook is quite charming.”

Ye Xingchen raised an eyebrow slightly, glancing at Lin Yu, “Smooth talker.” But his ear tips were slightly red, revealing the unease in his heart.

Before long, the steak was pan-fried, and Ye Xingchen served it on a plate, and also brought up the prepared vegetable salad.

The two sat at the dining table, and Lin Yu sincerely praised as he looked at the food in front of him, “It looks so delicious!”

Ye Xingchen’s expression was calm, “Eat quickly.”

In the moment when Lin Yu lowered his head and picked up his knife and fork, a trace of tenderness flashed in Ye Xingchen’s eyes.
