    Chapter 86 The Paint Can’t Be Washed Off

    Lin Yu cautiously leaned closer, saying ingratiatingly, “How… how about we search online for information, see if there are any special cleaning methods?”

    Ye Xingchen glared at him, not saying anything, but in his heart, he understood that this seemed to be the only way for now.

    So, Lin Yu quickly picked up his phone, swiftly opened the search engine, and typed in “imported paint cleaning methods.”

    The two of them huddled together, their eyes fixed on the phone screen, anxiously browsing the search results. Information scrolled by, but after trying several methods, there was still no effect.

    Ye Xingchen’s face grew increasingly unsightly, while Lin Yu became even more anxious, his fingers constantly swiping across the screen, muttering, “There must be a way, there must be…”

    Just when they were almost despairing, Lin Yu’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he excitedly pointed to a piece of information on the phone screen, saying, “Xingchen, look at this, it might be useful!”

    Ye Xingchen leaned over to take a look, only to see that it described a cleaning method that required specific solvents and complicated steps…

    Ye Xingchen looked at the complicated cleaning method displayed on the phone, his brow furrowing tightly. He asked somewhat doubtfully, “Can this method work? It feels like so much trouble.”

    Lin Yu nodded vigorously, his eyes full of anticipation, “Might as well try anything once, it’s better than having no solution, right?”

    According to the method on the internet, they needed a special solvent, which naturally they didn’t have at home, so they had to go out to buy it.

    Ye Xingchen helplessly put on a turtleneck sweater, then wore a mask and sunglasses, and even pulled up the hood of his hoodie, fully armed.

    But even so, the mottled paint on his hands was still exposed, even in the crevices of his fingers, so he had no choice but to put on gloves as well.

    Lin Yu looked at Ye Xingchen’s appearance, and the guilt that filled his heart was instantly defeated by the comical scene. He couldn’t help but “poof” and burst out laughing.

    Ye Xingchen glared at him, saying in a muffled voice, “You’re still laughing? It’s all your fault!”

    Seeing that Ye Xingchen was angry, Lin Yu quickly stopped laughing, moved closer to Ye Xingchen, and said appeasingly, “Okay, okay, don’t be angry, I won’t laugh at you.”

    But as soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Ye Xingchen, who was wrapped up so tightly, yet still looked somewhat comical, and couldn’t help but laugh again.

    “Hahaha…”

    Ye Xingchen turned to leave in anger. Seeing this, Lin Yu panicked and hurriedly chased after him, planting a “smack” kiss on Ye Xingchen’s cheek.

    “Xingchen, it’s my fault, it’s all my fault, I promise I won’t laugh anymore.”

    Seeing that Ye Xingchen was still angry, he quickly kissed him on the other cheek, coaxing, “Don’t be angry anymore~”

    Ye Xingchen’s temper was completely disarmed by this series of kisses, and his initial anger dissipated.

    He sighed softly, looking at Lin Yu helplessly, and pretending to be serious, he said, “If you dare to laugh again, see how I punish you.”

    Seeing that Ye Xingchen had calmed down, Lin Yu grinned and hooked his arm around his. “I promise I won’t laugh anymore. Let’s go buy the solvent quickly and get the paint off your body.”

    “Okay, let’s go!” Ye Xingchen put on an arrogant look.

    Lin Yu: “…”

    The two of them went out, and along the way, Lin Yu would occasionally tell a joke to make Ye Xingchen happy. Although Ye Xingchen verbally expressed his dislike, his eyes were full of smiles.

    When they arrived at the chemical supply store, the owner saw Ye Xingchen’s getup and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

    Lin Yu quickly explained, “Boss, he accidentally got paint all over himself and is afraid of scaring people, so he dressed like this.”

    The boss suddenly understood and gave them the solvent they needed.

    Back home, the two immediately began to clean.

    As the solvent was wiped on, the paint gradually came off, and Ye Xingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    Just as Lin Yu was using the solvent to wipe the paint off Ye Xingchen’s body, Ye Xingchen suddenly frowned, a look of pain on his face.

    “Hiss… it’s a little itchy, I think I’m having an allergic reaction.”

    Hearing this, Lin Yu was so frightened that he immediately stopped, anxiously looking at Ye Xingchen, his eyes full of self-reproach.

    “Xingchen, let’s not wipe anymore. You’re already having an allergic reaction. If we keep wiping, it might get worse.”

    Ye Xingchen gritted his teeth, enduring the discomfort, and said, “Wipe it off quickly. I can’t see anyone with this paint on my body. I’ll go to the hospital later.”

    Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Ye Xingchen was determined, he had no choice but to speed up his movements, continuing to wipe quickly and carefully.

    With each wipe, his heart clenched a little more, and his heart was full of guilt, secretly scolding himself.

    Finally, after managing to clean off all the paint, Ye Xingchen didn’t delay for a moment, quickly rushing into the bathroom to take a thorough shower.

    After coming out, he said to Lin Yu while putting on his clothes, “Let’s go, to the hospital.”

    At this time, Lin Yu felt extremely guilty, lowering his head, not daring to look Ye Xingchen in the eye, his voice trembling with sobs, “Xingchen, it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t been so playful, things wouldn’t have turned out like this. If you’re because of me…” As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

    Ye Xingchen looked at Lin Yu’s self-reproachful appearance, and the discomfort in his heart lessened a bit. He stepped forward and gently touched Lin Yu’s head.

    “Yu, don’t blame yourself, it’s not a big deal. We’ll just go to the hospital to get it checked out.”

    But Lin Yu still looked guilty, silently following behind Ye Xingchen, afraid that he would suffer any serious harm because of this allergic reaction.

    The two hurried to the hospital and registered for the dermatology department.

    In the examination room, the doctor was looking down and writing something. Hearing the movement, he looked up and saw the two looking hurried. The doctor asked, “Tell me about your situation?”

    Ye Xingchen opened his mouth, his face turning red all the way to his ears. He hesitated, unable to say it out loud.

    Seeing this, Lin Yu quickly stepped forward and said with a guilty look, “Doctor, I was drawing on him, and he got paint all over his body. We used this solvent to wipe off the paint, and after wiping it off, he had an allergic reaction.”

    After speaking, Lin Yu took out the solvent and handed it to the doctor.

    The doctor took the solvent, carefully looked at the label, then unscrewed the cap and smelled it, saying, “You see, it contains some irritating ingredients. Direct skin contact can easily cause allergies.”

    After speaking, the doctor looked up and down at them a few times, and couldn’t help but laugh, “Are you young people so playful? Drawing a picture and drawing on the body. You can’t mess around like this next time.”

    Hearing the doctor’s words, Lin Yu blushed, silently lowered his head, and whispered, “Thank you, doctor. I… I understand, I won’t do it again next time.”

    The doctor shook his head with a smile and began to examine Ye Xingchen.

    While examining him, he reminded him, “The allergic reaction doesn’t seem too serious at the moment, but you still need to pay attention. After going back, try not to let your skin come into contact with irritating things for the next few days and keep it clean.”

    After the examination, the doctor wrote on a piece of paper and instructed, “I’ll prescribe some medicine for you. Remember to apply it on time. If you have any problems, come back to the hospital at any time.”

    Ye Xingchen and Lin Yu thanked him repeatedly, took the medicine, and walked out of the hospital.

    All the way, Lin Yu was sullen, occasionally stealing glances at Ye Xingchen.

    Ye Xingchen looked at his self-reproachful appearance, gently patted his shoulder, and said, “Don’t think about it anymore, the doctor said it’s fine.”

    Only then did Lin Yu raise his head, forcing a smile, “I’ll go get the car, you wait for me here.” With that, he trotted off to the parking lot to get the car.

    Before long, the car slowly drove up to Ye Xingchen.

    Ye Xingchen opened the car door and sat inside. Lin Yu carefully glanced at him before starting the car.
