TCBHIWAF Chapter 98

Chapter 98: It’s Even Now

“I haven’t forgiven you yet. You want to… um~”

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Xingchen, without any explanation, abruptly pulled Lin Yu into his embrace, forcefully covering his lips. This kiss was domineering and passionate, carrying a sense of undeniable demand.

…

After a long while, Ye Xingchen released Lin Yu, then pinched his chin, his eyes carrying an unquestionable fierceness.

“If you dare disrespect me again, I’ll make you regret it…”

Lin Yu struggled desperately, barely managing to turn his head away, resisting, “You bullied me just now, and now you’re bullying me again! I can’t live like this!”

Ye Xingchen raised an eyebrow, looking utterly shameless. “Did I bully you?”

Lin Yu was about to explode with anger, glaring fiercely at him.

“How isn’t that bullying? Then what would you call it if it wasn’t bullying?”

Ye Xingchen, still brazenly shameless, retorted, “Anyway, it’s not bullying.”

Lin Yu, infuriated to the point of laughter, slammed the plate of durian down heavily, reached out, grabbed Ye Xingchen’s collar, and dragged him towards the basement door.

“You’re coming with me!”

Reaching the basement door, Lin Yu said sharply, “Open it!”

Ye Xingchen obediently opened the door, and Lin Yu directly pulled him inside, slamming the door shut with a “bang,” snorting coldly.

“It’s not bullying, huh? Then you just wait.”

…

The next day, the sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating the living room brightly.

Inside the basement.

Lin Yu got up, straightening his clothes, a triumphant look on his face, occasionally rubbing his waist. Clearly, last night’s “torment” had been intense, but the successful revenge put him in a great mood.

He stretched languidly, glanced back at Ye Xingchen, and thought smugly, “Hmph, told you to bully me! Now you know how powerful I am, right?”

In contrast, Ye Xingchen walked with an odd gait, limping. His face was weary, his hair disheveled, and he struggled to climb onto the bed, collapsing with a “thud.”

“You little rascal, looking all gentle and weak, but your methods are quite ruthless.”

Though he complained, a hint of indulgence and amusement flashed in his eyes as he looked at Lin Yu’s retreating figure.

Lin Yu didn’t care what he said, leisurely walking out of the basement first.

He went straight to the living room, plopped down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and put his feet on the coffee table, looking relaxed and carefree.

After a good while, Ye Xingchen slowly emerged from the direction of the basement.

His hair was messy, like a bird’s nest, and his clothes were wrinkled, with some unclear traces left from last night’s activities.

He took each step carefully, his legs trembling slightly, his face full of a mixture of weariness and pain. Clearly, he had suffered quite a bit in the basement last night.

Lin Yu looked at Ye Xingchen’s disheveled appearance, a sly smile curving his lips, teasing, “Those things looked pretty good, saving them for punishing you in the future.”

Hearing this, Ye Xingchen was so angry he was about to burst into flames, but at the moment, his whole body ached, and he really didn’t have the strength to explode.

He kept thinking to himself: Get rid of them, get rid of them, must get rid of them all…

But after all, he was in the wrong first, and he could only grit his teeth in secret, glaring helplessly at Lin Yu.

After a while.

Ye Xingchen sized up Lin Yu, a hint of carefulness in his eyes, and asked softly, “Yu, you’re not angry anymore, right?”

Lin Yu glanced at him and said, “I’m not angry anymore. It’s even now.”

Seeing that he wasn’t angry anymore, Ye Xingchen’s tense nerves relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.

He cautiously walked to Lin Yu’s side and sat down, then reached out, gently put his arm around Lin Yu’s waist, and rested his head on his shoulder.

He said in a spoiled tone, “Yu, don’t do that again in the future. I know I was wrong.”

Lin Yu tilted his head slightly, looked at Ye Xingchen, and gently stroked his hair.

“Okay, since you’ve said so, let’s get along well in the future.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yu’s stomach grumbled, and he impatiently urged, “Go make me some food.”

Ye Xingchen raised his head, looking pitifully at Lin Yu, and said weakly, “I really don’t have the strength. How about ordering takeout?”

Lin Yu glared at him, saying in annoyance, “Aren’t you very capable?”

Although he complained, Lin Yu still picked up his phone and started browsing takeout platforms.

Seeing Lin Yu pick up his phone, Ye Xingchen leaned over, looked at the phone screen on a certain takeout platform, and asked, “Yu, what do you want to eat? There are quite a few choices for breakfast.”

Lin Yu pondered for a moment and said, “Let’s have porridge in the morning, something light.”

While scrolling through the screen, he continued, “Let’s also order some fried dough sticks and steamed dumplings. I haven’t had them in a long time, and I’m feeling quite hungry for them.”

Ye Xingchen nodded in agreement, “Okay, let’s also order a small side of pickled vegetables to go with the porridge.”

After the two had discussed and agreed, Lin Yu placed the order.

Just as he put down his phone, Lin Yu couldn’t help but tease, “It’s a good thing we ordered takeout, otherwise, with you looking so weak right now, I guess the food you made wouldn’t be edible.”

Ye Xingchen pretended to be aggrieved, “It’s not because of last night… Ah, never mind, it’s all my fault.”

In less than 20 minutes, the doorbell rang.

Lin Yu got up, walked through the living room, opened the villa door, and went into the yard.

The morning sun shone on his body, bringing a hint of warmth. He quickly walked through the yard and came to the gate.

Opening the door, the delivery guy handed over the food with a smile, “Hello, your takeout is here. Please take it.”

Lin Yu took the takeout, responding politely, “Thank you.”

Then, carrying the steaming breakfast, he returned to the villa along the yard.

As soon as he entered the living room, he placed the takeout on the coffee table and said to Ye Xingchen, “Come and eat breakfast.”

Ye Xingchen responded.

The two sat on the sofa and began to eat breakfast.

Lin Yu took a sip of porridge, picked up a steamed dumpling, looked up at Ye Xingchen, and asked, “What are we going to do after we finish eating later?”

Ye Xingchen took a bite of a fried dough stick, saying vaguely, “Rest at home.”

Lin Yu frowned, muttering, “That would be too boring.”

Ye Xingchen looked helplessly at him, saying with a bitter face, “Then where can I go now? It’s hard for me to even walk.”

As he spoke, he deliberately gently rubbed his aching legs, showing Lin Yu his “miserable state.”

Lin Yu pursed his lips, pondered for a while, and said, “How about watching a movie? We can huddle on the sofa to watch, so we don’t have to walk around.”

Ye Xingchen’s eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement.

“Okay, watching a movie is good, let’s also prepare some snacks, that would be awesome.”

Lin Yu nodded, “Okay, although I don’t eat snacks anymore, let’s just treat it as a trip down memory lane.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized, “That’s not right, we don’t usually eat snacks either, we don’t have any snacks at home.”

Ye Xingchen smiled mysteriously, pulled Lin Yu to a hidden snack cabinet, opened the cabinet door, and inside were filled with potato chips and jelly that Lin Yu liked to eat.

Lin Yu was speechless, “You even bought so many snacks?”

Ye Xingchen looked at him indulgently, “What do you mean I bought so many snacks? I bought them all for you. If you weren’t here, I wouldn’t want to eat them.”

Lin Yu said helplessly, “If you don’t eat them, won’t they spoil?”

Ye Xingchen put his arm around Lin Yu’s shoulders, explaining, “No, we can change them every month or two. If they’re not eaten, we can give them to the servants and let them take them back to their families.”
