    Chapter 88: A Day in the Life of Lovers

    Bai Shiya invited them to sit down and started chatting about everyday life.

    Bai Shiya looked Ye Xingchen up and down, and asked with concern, “Xingchen, is your allergy serious? Did you go to the hospital?”

    Ye Xingchen replied politely, “Auntie, I’ve seen a doctor, and they prescribed some medicine. It’s nothing serious, so don’t worry.”

    Bai Shiya nodded, saying with heartache, “That’s good. You should pay more attention to it usually. By the way, how did you get an allergy?”

    Lin Yu’s heart tightened, and he was about to interrupt to change the subject, but Ye Xingchen gently touched his hand, signaling him not to be nervous.

    “Auntie, today Yu was painting and got paint on me. We used a solvent to wipe it off, but maybe the solvent wasn’t very good, so I got an allergy.”

    Bai Shiya couldn’t help but laugh and cry after hearing this, “You two are still as naughty as when you were kids. But luckily, it’s nothing serious.”

    As she spoke, Bai Shiya put some food into Ye Xingchen’s bowl, “Xingchen, eat more. You look so thin.”

    Ye Xingchen smiled and thanked her, “Thank you, Auntie. Your cooking is still as delicious as before.”

    Lin Yu watched his mother being so caring towards Ye Xingchen, and felt warmth in his heart, but also a little bit of jealousy. He couldn’t help but mutter, “Mom, who is your real son, anyway? You’ve been only caring about him since you came in.”

    Bai Shiya glared at Lin Yu.

    “You child, Xingchen is like my own son. What’s wrong with me caring about him? Besides, you were the one who gave him an allergy today, shouldn’t you take good care of him?”

    Ye Xingchen looked at Lin Yu’s deflated expression and couldn’t help but laugh, “Yu, your aunt is just showing me affection. Don’t be jealous.”

    Lin Yu pretended to be angry and turned his head away. Bai Shiya and Ye Xingchen looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere in the room became even more cheerful.

    Before they knew it, it was getting late, and Bai Shiya got up to leave, “It’s getting late, I’ll go back first. You guys should rest early. If Xingchen feels uncomfortable with his allergy, be sure to tell Auntie.”

    The two quickly nodded and sent Bai Shiya to the door.

    Back in the house, Lin Yu collapsed on the sofa, sighing, “Today was really a rollercoaster.”

    Ye Xingchen sat down next to him and gently hugged him, “What are you afraid of? If we don’t admit it, your mom won’t suspect anything.”

    Lin Yu turned to look at Ye Xingchen, and as their eyes met, they both saw full of happiness and love in each other’s eyes.

    But soon, worry crept into Lin Yu’s eyes again.

    Lin Yu sighed heavily!

    “Xingchen, I’m not just worried about my mom. My dad has a heart condition and can’t take any shocks. If they find out about our relationship, I’m really afraid that my dad will…”

    Ye Xingchen frowned slightly after hearing this, and hugged Lin Yu tighter to comfort him.

    “Don’t worry too much. We have to think positively. Now that we’re together, we have to face the challenges ahead together. I believe we can definitely solve this.”

    Lin Yu looked at Ye Xingchen, his eyes filled with worry and confusion.

    “But how can we get them to accept it? For them, it might not be… acceptable.”

    Ye Xingchen thought for a moment and slowly said, “Maybe we can take it slowly. First, let them see the deep affection between us, just like we always have, but interacting even more naturally.”

    “When the time is right, we can find a suitable opportunity to reveal a little hint, test their attitude, and take it one step at a time, giving them time to adapt.”

    Lin Yu nodded slightly, “That’s the only way. Xingchen, I’m so glad I have you, or I really wouldn’t know what to do.”

    Ye Xingchen gently stroked Lin Yu’s head, “Silly, since we’ve decided to walk together, we should face problems together. No matter what happens, I’ll be by your side.”

    Lin Yu leaned on Ye Xingchen’s shoulder, feeling his warmth and determination, and the fear and anxiety in his heart seemed to lessen a bit.

    “Yeah, Xingchen, let’s work together and we’ll definitely get my parents to accept us.”

    Ye Xingchen patted Lin Yu’s shoulder and said gently, “Okay, don’t think about it anymore. Go get some rest, you have to go to work tomorrow.”

    Lin Yu also yawned, “Okay, good.”

    The next morning, the weather in February and March should have been warm with the promise of spring, but due to the cold wave, it was slightly chilly.

    Lin Yu drove steadily and dropped Ye Xingchen off at his company.

    He took a light scarf from the back seat, carefully wrapped it around Ye Xingchen, and reminded him, “With this cold wave, it’s quite cold in the morning. I’ll pick you up in the afternoon.”

    Ye Xingchen smiled, his eyes full of love, “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

    Just as Ye Xingchen was about to get out of the car, Lin Yu suddenly called out, “Wait a minute.”

    Ye Xingchen looked at him in confusion, only to see Lin Yu leaning over slightly and gently kissing him on the lips, then blushing and saying, “Now go.”

    Ye Xingchen looked at him, a glint of mischief flashing in his eyes, and suddenly reached out and pulled Lin Yu over.

    “You’re flirting with me so early in the morning?” As he said this, he gave him a passionate kiss.

    Lin Yu was instantly drowned in this passionate kiss, feeling as if he couldn’t breathe, his mind blank.

    Just then, an impatient honk came from behind, and the two woke up as if from a dream.

    Lin Yu pushed Ye Xingchen away in a panic, “Okay, okay, stop messing around, hurry down.”

    Ye Xingchen chuckled and finally let go of Lin Yu, opening the car door and walking out.

    Lin Yu quickly started the car and drove forward.

    The driver behind, who had been blocked, was still cursing, “It takes so long to get out of the car, what are you doing!”

    But the two, immersed in their sweetness, didn’t take his words to heart at all.

    On the way to his own company, Lin Yu’s mouth was always upturned in an uncontrollable smile, and when Ye Xingchen walked into the company building, his eyes were also full of happiness.

    After arriving at the company, Lin Yu hurriedly walked into his office.

    He skillfully turned on the computer and carefully checked the various data of the new game.

    Finding that the player retention rate of a role-playing game had slightly declined, he frowned and fell into deep thought.

    Immediately, he quickly dialed the assistant’s number and requested that the relevant project leaders be summoned for a meeting immediately.

    In the conference room, everyone sat around, the atmosphere was serious.

    Lin Yu listened to the reports from various departments while quickly jotting down the key points in his notebook.

    When the discussion turned to the progress of the newly developed game, the project leader began to take the stage.

    Lin Yu sat upright at the head of the conference room as the project leader reported endlessly on the game’s development progress.

    Listening to those familiar data and plans, Lin Yu gradually felt a sense of boredom in his heart.

    He pretended to listen attentively, but his eyes quietly glanced at his phone, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his fingers tapped lightly on the screen, sending a message to Ye Xingchen.

    Lin Yu: [Xingchen, we’ve only been apart for an hour, do you miss me?]

    At this time, Ye Xingchen was sitting at the conference table in the CEO Office, discussing the company’s strategic plan for the next quarter with senior executives.

    The phone screen lit up, seeing Lin Yu’s message.

    Ye Xingchen: [In a meeting, don’t mess around.]

    Lin Yu: [I’m in a meeting too, I miss you so much, tell me if you miss me?]

    Ye Xingchen smiled indulgently and quickly replied: [Miss you!]

    Lin Yu replied in seconds: [How much?]

    Ye Xingchen: [How do you want me to miss you?]

    Lin Yu: [I’m asking you? ╰_╯]

    Ye Xingchen looked at the message, shook his head slightly, but the corners of his lips turned up unconsciously. Taking advantage of the break in the discussion, he replied with a smirk: [Emoji!]

    Lin Yu clicked it open, and he was shocked, it was mosaicked, but he could still see… his eyes widened instantly, and his face flushed.

    He coughed softly, trying to calm himself down, his eyes swept over the project team members who were focused on reporting in the conference room, and said loudly, “Okay, today’s report will end here, meeting adjourned!”

    Everyone was surprised, but they still packed up their documents and got up to leave the conference room.
