TCBHIWAF Chapter 91

Chapter 91: You Are Like a Star

As soon as they entered the house, the two went to the kitchen together.

Lin Yu first steamed rice, and considering that Ye Xingchen’s allergy hadn’t healed, he took the initiative to wash and cut the vegetables.

He carefully washed each piece of green vegetable, and scrubbed the potatoes clean.

Ye Xingchen prepared to make braised chicken, and Lin Yu blanched the chopped chicken.

On Ye Xingchen’s side, he heated the wok and added oil, then stir-fried the scallions, ginger, and garlic until fragrant. When the aroma filled the air, Lin Yu handed over the blanched chicken.

Ye Xingchen stir-fried until the chicken changed color, added soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine and other seasonings, and then added the potatoes and mushrooms that Lin Yu had cut. After adding water, he simmered it over low heat.

Next, Ye Xingchen guided Lin Yu in making cucumber salad.

Lin Yu washed the cucumbers, smashed them, and sprinkled them with salt, sugar, vinegar, and minced garlic. After mixing well, the refreshing aroma of cucumbers permeated the air.

When making hot and sour shredded potatoes, Lin Yu skillfully cut the potatoes into shreds and then soaked them in water.

Ye Xingchen heated oil in a wok, fried the peppercorns until fragrant, and then removed them. He poured in the shredded potatoes and stir-fried them quickly, adding seasonings. Soon, the hot and sour smell was overwhelming.

Finally, there was fresh meatball soup.

Ye Xingchen chopped the meat filling, and Lin Yu added chopped green onion, ginger, starch, and water as he said, stirring in one direction until it was smooth.

After the water boiled, Lin Yu carefully squeezed the meatballs into the pot.

When the meatballs floated up, Ye Xingchen added green vegetables and seasoned with pepper and sesame oil.

As soon as the dishes were finished, Lin Yu hurriedly pulled Ye Xingchen and carefully washed his hands with hand sanitizer, wiping them dry. Then, he carefully applied medicine to him before saying with relief, “Let’s go eat.”

Afterwards, Lin Yu carried the steaming dishes to the table one by one.

The two sat at the dining table, bathed in the warm light.

Lin Yu looked expectant: “Try it quickly, we’ve been busy for half a day.”

Ye Xingchen picked up a piece of braised chicken, tasted it, and said with a smile: “Delicious, you deserve the credit.”

With that, he put a chopstick of hot and sour shredded potatoes into Lin Yu’s bowl, “Try this, we cooperated perfectly, these shredded potatoes will definitely suit your taste.”

Lin Yu took a bite, then shoveled a mouthful of rice, his eyes narrowed into crescent shapes.

“Yeah, delicious, perfect with rice.” As he spoke, a grain of rice accidentally stuck to the corner of his mouth.

Ye Xingchen’s eyes were gentle. He raised his hand and gently removed it for Lin Yu, his thumb inadvertently brushing against the corner of Lin Yu’s lips. This subtle movement instantly heated the air.

Lin Yu was slightly startled, his cheeks flushed, and his eyes met Ye Xingchen’s. The two’s gazes intertwined, as if time had stopped at this moment.

Ye Xingchen was the first to recover, and chuckled: “You’re not concentrating on eating.”

Lin Yu coughed lightly, quickly lowered his head and continued to eat.

After a while, Lin Yu scooped a spoonful of fresh meatball soup, blew on it, and handed it to Ye Xingchen.

“Drink some soup, it must be delicious.”

Ye Xingchen took Lin Yu’s hand and took a sip from the spoon. The deliciousness of the soup spread in his mouth, and his eyes stared straight at him.

“Yeah, it’s delicious, it’s even more delicious when made with you.”

Lin Yu was amused, “Then let’s make it together more often in the future.”

“Okay!” Ye Xingchen looked at Lin Yu with a smile.

The two chatted while eating. As the dishes in the plates gradually decreased, the dinner came to an end.

Lin Yu put down his chopsticks with satisfaction, his face full of gentle smiles.

“Thank you for cooking. Your allergy hasn’t healed yet, so I’ll do the dishes.”

But Ye Xingchen still wanted to help, and Lin Yu gently pressed him back into his seat.

“You rest, after I’m done, we’ll go for a walk.”

Lin Yu quickly cleared the dishes into the kitchen. Soon, the sound of water and the crisp sound of dishes colliding came from the kitchen.

Ye Xingchen sat in the living room, occasionally looking at Lin Yu’s busy figure in the kitchen, feeling both happy and unreal.

Soon, Lin Yu washed the dishes and tidied up the kitchen. He came out and took Ye Xingchen’s hand.

“Let’s go, let’s go for a walk.”

It wasn’t until he saw Lin Yu holding his hand that he truly felt happiness.

“Okay.” Ye Xingchen put his arm around his shoulder.

The night in February and March was cold, but it did not diminish the interest of the two.

Strolling along the winding path, the moonlight sprinkled like silver gauze, and the trees by the road rustled in the wind.

Climbing the small slope, a vast galaxy appeared before them, with stars twinkling like gems inlaid in the sky.

Lin Yu stretched out his hand as if to touch it, and couldn’t help but exclaim, “So beautiful!”

Ye Xingchen, afraid that he was cold, pulled him closer: “If you’re cold, lean closer to me.”

Lin Yu leaned over and absorbed the warmth from Ye Xingchen.

The two sat side by side on a stone bench, quietly gazing at the starry sky, enjoying the tranquility and romance.

However, they did not notice that in the shadows in the distance, a low-key dressed girl was holding a camera and secretly taking pictures.

The cold wind made the girl shrink back, but she still tried to find an angle.

Unfortunately, the two were just sitting close together and did not have too intimate gestures. The girl took a few borrowed-angle photos before leaving with a face full of unwillingness.

Lin Yu stared at the starry sky with fascination, and said softly: “Every time I see the stars, I can’t help but think of you.”

Ye Xingchen was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at Lin Yu, his eyes full of curiosity and expectation.

“You are like a star, distant and bright. Although you look out of reach, you have always guided me.” At this point, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of Lin Yu’s mouth.

Ye Xingchen was slightly moved, his voice low and warm: “I never knew that in your heart, I was such an existence. In fact, in my eyes, you are just as excellent.”

Lin Yu turned to look at Ye Xingchen, his eyes sparkling with starlight and emotion.

“Even so, you are still my star. So many years of pursuit has already become a habit. In the future, I want to be with you, like stars accompanying each other, and continue to walk together.”

Ye Xingchen gently hugged Lin Yu into his arms. The cold wind howled on the top of the mountain, but it could not blow away the deep affection between them.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yu sneezed, and Ye Xingchen looked nervous.

“Are you catching a cold? Let’s go back, don’t freeze.”

The two held hands and slowly returned to Seaside Villa in the silvery moonlight.

As soon as they entered the villa, Ye Xingchen looked concerned and gently pulled Lin Yu to sit down on the sofa.

“You sit down first, don’t move.” With that, he quickly walked to the kitchen.

Before long, Ye Xingchen came out with a steaming cup of ginger tea and carefully handed it to Lin Yu.

“Quick, drink some ginger tea to get rid of the cold, don’t really catch a cold.”

Lin Yu took the ginger tea, took a sip, and the warm feeling spread from his throat to his whole body. He looked up at Ye Xingchen, his eyes full of emotion.

“Xingchen, you’re so nice!”

Ye Xingchen urged again: “Drink it quickly, and then take a hot bath later.”

Lin Yu nodded obediently, like a well-behaved child, and quickly drank the ginger tea.

Afterwards, he stretched out his hand, grabbed Ye Xingchen’s hand, his eyes with a bit of playfulness.

“Xingchen, let’s go back to the room.” Saying that, he pulled Ye Xingchen up and walked upstairs.

The two returned to the room. As soon as they entered, Lin Yu went straight to the wardrobe and took out two sets of soft pajamas.

Then he grabbed Ye Xingchen’s hand, his eyes full of eagerness and intimacy, and dragged him directly into the bathroom.
