    Chapter 105 Let’s Break Up

    Hearing Lin Yu’s resolute word “get out,” Ye Xingchen’s expression instantly changed, his eyes turning instantly gloomy.

    He couldn’t tolerate Lin Yu’s attitude in the slightest. Even if he had acted rashly, his obsessive nature wouldn’t allow Lin Yu to treat him this way.

    He abruptly charged into the bathroom, took a few strides to stand before Lin Yu, reached out and grabbed Lin Yu’s chin, forcing Lin Yu to meet his gaze.

    “Why are you yelling at me?”

    Ye Xingchen’s voice was low and filled with suppressed anger, his eyes fixed on Lin Yu as if he wanted to devour him whole.

    Lin Yu winced in pain from the sudden action, his brow furrowing tightly, his eyes filled with anger and resentment.

    He struggled forcefully, trying to break free from Ye Xingchen’s grip. “Let go! How can you even ask me that? Did you even consider my feelings before you acted?”

    Lin Yu’s voice trembled slightly with anger, water droplets constantly sliding down his face, dripping onto Ye Xingchen’s hand.

    Ye Xingchen remained unmoved, his grip tightening even more. “I have my reasons for doing things, do you have to be so difficult with me?”

    Ye Xingchen’s face drew closer to Lin Yu’s, their breaths mingling, the atmosphere as tense as a string about to snap.

    Seeing that he couldn’t break free, a flicker of resolution flashed in Lin Yu’s eyes.

    “Ye Xingchen, you’re too selfish! You only ever think of yourself!”

    Lin Yu’s words were like a sharp blade, piercing straight into Ye Xingchen’s heart.

    A flicker of panic flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly concealed by his stubbornness.

    After a moment of deadlock, Ye Xingchen suddenly released his hand, turned around and walked out without a word.

    He strode to the sofa in the office, plopped down, leaned forward slightly, clenched his hands into fists, placed them on his knees, and stared intently at the floor, as if trying to bore a hole in it.

    After a long time, the bathroom door creaked open, and Lin Yu, wrapped in a bath towel and a bathrobe, walked out slowly.

    His hair was disheveled, and wet strands of hair were still dripping water, sliding down his neck into the bathrobe.

    His eyes were somewhat hollow, and he glanced at Ye Xingchen sitting on the sofa, his lips moving, but he didn’t say anything. He slowly walked to the chair next to him, sat down, and looked tired and helpless.

    Ye Xingchen’s gaze had been fixed on Lin Yu since he came out, never leaving him for a moment.

    Water droplets from Lin Yu’s hair continued to roll down, dampening the collar of the bathrobe on his body.

    He sat on the chair in front of the desk, turned to look out the window, his whole body exuding an aura of keeping people at a distance.

    Time slowly passed in silence, and this oppressive silence made Ye Xingchen more and more tormented…

    Finally, he couldn’t take it anymore, and suddenly got up and strode into the bathroom.

    Soon, he came out in a hurry with a towel in his hand and went straight to Lin Yu.

    Ye Xingchen came behind Lin Yu, and gently tried to wipe his hair, trying to ease the tense atmosphere between them.

    However, like a conditioned reflex, Lin Yu raised his hand and pushed Ye Xingchen away with force.

    This sudden action instantly snapped the taut string in Ye Xingchen’s heart.

    He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and rushed forward like an angry beast.

    He grabbed Lin Yu’s neck with both hands, his eyes red, and roared almost uncontrollably, “What the hell are you doing?”

    “I did all this so that we could be together openly! Why don’t you understand?”

    Ye Xingchen’s voice became hoarse with emotion, and every word seemed to exhaust all his strength.

    Lin Yu had difficulty breathing, his face gradually flushed, but the stubbornness in his eyes did not diminish.

    He tried to pry open Ye Xingchen’s hand, and squeezed out a few words with difficulty: “Don’t… make excuses for your selfishness?”

    Hearing this, Ye Xingchen’s body shook, and the strength in his hands unconsciously loosened a bit.

    He looked at Lin Yu, and the anger in his eyes was gradually replaced by a trace of panic and confusion under Lin Yu’s firm gaze.

    He opened his mouth, as if trying to defend himself, but was momentarily at a loss for words.

    The office was eerily quiet, with only the two of them breathing slightly rapidly, the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed like it would explode completely in the next second…

    The two of them were in a stalemate, and silence spread in the air, as if time had frozen.

    After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yu slowly raised his head, looked directly at Ye Xingchen, his eyes full of exhaustion and resolution, and said word by word: “Let’s break up.”

    After speaking, he gently closed his eyes, as if escaping Ye Xingchen’s gaze, and also escaping this relationship that made him miserable.

    Hearing this, Ye Xingchen was stunned for a moment, and then he actually laughed…

    The “hehehe” laughter was particularly abrupt in the silent office, and the laughter contained a trace of disbelief, and a strong sense of self-deprecation.

    “You actually want to break up with me?” Ye Xingchen muttered to himself while laughing.

    However, the laughter stopped abruptly, and Ye Xingchen instantly changed his appearance, with a stubborn and crazy flame burning in his eyes.

    Like a mad beast, he rushed over, tightly imprisoned Lin Yu’s face with both hands, forcing Lin Yu to meet his gaze. Lin Yu’s cheeks were deformed, but he couldn’t break free.

    Under Ye Xingchen’s control, his face turned red, but his eyes were still stubborn.

    Ye Xingchen gritted his teeth and squeezed out words from between his teeth: “Have I ever told you that I will never let you go in this lifetime?” The voice was stubborn and crazy.

    Tears flickered in Lin Yu’s eyes, tears intertwined and tortured by love and pain.

    He loved Ye Xingchen, this love was deeply rooted in his bones, but now it has become an unbearable burden.

    With much difficulty, he mustered all his courage, broke through the shackles in his heart and was with Ye Xingchen, thinking that he could usher in a beautiful future.

    But at this moment, Ye Xingchen’s stubborn and crazy behavior made him feel that this love had become so unfamiliar.

    He felt that Ye Xingchen didn’t understand him at all, didn’t understand his worries and fears.

    The pressure from the family and the outside world, these things weighed on his heart like huge rocks, and Ye Xingchen’s unauthorized public announcement of their relationship undoubtedly pushed him to the center of a more turbulent storm.

    Lin Yu’s already fragile sense of security was completely shattered at this moment. His heart was full of bitterness, but he didn’t know how to tell Ye Xingchen all of this.

    A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Ye Xingchen’s eyes, and that kind of stubborn madness was frightening.

    He stared at Lin Yu so intently, as if to imprison Lin Yu with his eyes, so that he would never be able to escape his control.

    And Lin Yu, under this piercing gaze, only felt a desolation in his heart, and his longing for a beautiful love had been shattered at this moment.

    After an unknown amount of time.

    Lin Yu’s eyes were red, and he said almost pleadingly with a sob: “Please let me go, please~”

    A trace of pain flashed in Ye Xingchen’s eyes, and he said with a sneer: “You don’t want to be with me that much?”

    Lin Yu’s face was full of pain, and his voice trembled: “I really can’t bear it.”

    Ye Xingchen smiled bitterly, that smile was extremely bitter.

    “What a ‘can’t bear it’.” After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Lin Yu’s arm tightly, dragging him out.
