TCBHIWAF Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Do Not Turn on the Lights

Lin Yu was about to turn on the light when Ye Xingchen grabbed his hand.

“Don’t turn it on, just like this.”

“Why…” Before Lin Yu could finish speaking, Ye Xingchen directly blocked his words with a kiss.

In the darkness, Lin Yu’s body instantly stiffened. He hadn’t expected Ye Xingchen to make such a move at all.

Ye Xingchen’s lips pressed tightly against Lin Yu’s, with an irresistible force.

Lin Yu’s mind went blank, and he subconsciously wanted to struggle, but Ye Xingchen held his waist tightly, preventing him from moving.

Gradually, he gave up resisting and began to respond to Ye Xingchen’s kiss.

Their breathing became more rapid, and in this dark space, the only sensations were each other’s temperature and heartbeat.

After a while, Ye Xingchen released Lin Yu and whispered in his ear, “Go take a shower.”

Lin Yu nodded lightly, took a bathrobe, and went into the bathroom.

The warm water washed over his body, gradually relaxing his mood.

The two of them showered one after the other, dried their hair, put on comfortable pajamas, and returned to the room.

Ye Xingchen lifted the quilt, let Lin Yu lie down, and then turned off the light.

Then, Ye Xingchen lay down beside him and suddenly pulled him into his arms.

Ye Xingchen’s kisses fell like raindrops on Lin Yu’s face, from his forehead to the tip of his nose, then to his cheeks, and finally lingered on his lips.

The kisses carried urgency and desire, as well as an overbearingness that brooked no refusal.

Immediately afterward, Ye Xingchen pried open Lin Yu’s lips and teeth, his tongue probing in, and they entangled passionately…

Lin Yu gradually became lost in the passionate kisses, and his hands involuntarily wrapped around Ye Xingchen’s neck.

The two of them gradually succumbed to love…

–[September 16th, Wednesday/Sunny turning cloudy]

The next day, Ye Xingchen woke up first.

He turned his head and gazed at Lin Yu beside him, his eyes filled with tender affection.

As if his gaze was too intense, Lin Yu slowly woke up, but the moment he opened his eyes and saw Ye Xingchen, he instantly froze.

Good heavens, he couldn’t even look Ye Xingchen in the eye now. His gaze quickly swept over him, then hurriedly looked away, like a frightened deer.

Then, he shyly pulled the quilt over himself and covered himself tightly.

Ye Xingchen gently lifted a corner of the quilt, his voice carrying the laziness and indulgence of the morning, and softly called out: “Yu, go have breakfast, get ready for work.”

Hearing this, Lin Yu wrapped himself even tighter, his voice muffled from under the quilt.

“I can’t go to work today.”

Ye Xingchen shook his head helplessly and amusedly, reaching out to gently caress the slightly trembling body under the quilt.

“Then how about you handle the documents at home today?”

Lin Yu pouted with a hint of coquetry, “You handle them for me, I can’t get up today.”

The corners of Ye Xingchen’s mouth turned up, and he leaned closer to the quilt and said, “Okay, okay, then I’ll bring you breakfast up.”

“Mmm~” Lin Yu’s voice came from under the quilt, the ending note drawn out long, carrying a hint of laziness and dependence.

Ye Xingchen chuckled lightly, got up, got dressed, and went downstairs to prepare breakfast.

Before long, Ye Xingchen returned to the room with a sumptuous breakfast, gently placing it on the bedside table.

“Yu, get up and have breakfast,” Ye Xingchen said gently.

Only then did Lin Yu slowly poke his head out from under the quilt, his hair a little messy, his eyes still sleepy, looking extremely adorable.

Looking at him, Ye Xingchen couldn’t help but lean down and kiss his forehead.

A blush spread across Lin Yu’s face, and he shrank back under the quilt and hid for a while before sitting up.

Ye Xingchen sat on the edge of the bed, picked up a steamed bun, brought it to Lin Yu’s mouth, and said with a smile, “Open your mouth.”

Lin Yu obediently ate it, his face red.

And so, under Ye Xingchen’s loving feeding, Lin Yu enjoyed breakfast.

After breakfast, Ye Xingchen took the computer and began to handle the company’s documents, while also logging into Lin Yu’s account to help him deal with the company’s affairs.

Lin Yu leaned against Ye Xingchen, watching his focused expression, and felt a trance in his heart.

Today was already Wednesday, and after Ye Xingchen’s birthday on Sunday, he would have to leave…

Lin Yu suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and asked, “Xingchen, what kind of gift do you want for your birthday?”

Ye Xingchen’s hands didn’t stop moving, and without looking up, he said, “Having you by my side is the best gift.”

Lin Yu’s eyes turned slightly red, and he forced a smile and said, “Stop joking, I’m serious.”

Only then did Ye Xingchen stop the work in his hands, turn his head to look at Lin Yu, his eyes gentle and affectionate.

“As long as it’s from you, I’ll like it.”

Hearing this, Lin Yu was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to control his emotions, so he stood up, his legs trembling, but he still forced himself to say with grief, “I’m going out to buy something.”

Seeing him like this, Ye Xingchen said worriedly, “Are you sure you can do it? Or should I take you?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll drive there, I’ll be back soon.”

And in the room, Ye Xingchen, watching Lin Yu’s departing figure, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes…

He felt that ‘Yu’ was acting strangely, but when he thought about how they were getting along now, he thought he was just overthinking it.

On the other side, as soon as Lin Yu got into the car, he could no longer control his emotions.

Lin Yu lay on the steering wheel, tears flowing silently and continuously, his body trembling slightly.

But he still forced himself to start the car with grief and moved forward slowly.

After the car drove away, he finally couldn’t hold it back any longer and burst into tears.

He didn’t know how to face the future without Ye Xingchen, and his heart felt like it was being torn apart.

The car sped down the highway, and Lin Yu’s crying echoed in the car, as if to vent all the pain.

“Why, are we the same gender?” Lin Yu lay on the steering wheel, muttering hoarsely to himself.

“Same-sex love is not tolerated by the world. Although I love you, I can’t accept this part of myself, and I can’t face the people around me. I’m afraid of their pointing fingers after they find out, afraid of their strange looks. I… I really don’t know what to do.”

Tears blurred his vision, and his heart seemed to fall into an endless abyss of darkness.

A long time later, in the Seaside Villa, Ye Xingchen suddenly felt flustered, and he couldn’t help but call Lin Yu.

The phone rang, and at this time, Lin Yu was lying on the steering wheel, his face covered in tears.

Seeing the caller ID, he quickly wiped away his tears, immediately switched back to his usual self, and then answered, “Xingchen!”

Ye Xingchen’s voice came through: “Yu, why have you been gone for so long?”

“Oh, I was just thinking of preparing a surprise for your birthday, don’t worry.”

Hearing this, Ye Xingchen immediately felt relieved and said, “Okay, then take your time.”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm his mood.

After calming down, Lin Yu drove quickly toward a high-end piano store.

Ye Xingchen liked to play the piano, and he had already reserved this piano.

Arriving at the piano store, a kind-faced woman warmly welcomed him into the store.

The female owner smiled and said, “This is a precious antique piano, quite valuable. You’ve reserved it for so long, you must be giving it to someone you love, right?”

Lin Yu nodded slightly and replied, “Indeed, it’s for someone I love.”
