TCBHIWAF Chapter 37

Chapter 37 I Finally Found You

That night after receiving the gift, Ye Xingchen sat blankly in his room, the gift from Lin Yu placed before him, his eyes empty and lifeless.

His heart was filled with pain and despair. He then picked up a bottle of wine, tilted his head back, and gulped it down, wanting to use it to numb his nerves.

One glass after another, the wine kept spilling, soaking his clothes, and his hair became disheveled.

Before long, he was completely drunk, collapsing on the floor, still murmuring Lin Yu’s name.

Meanwhile, Lin Yu, far across the ocean, received a call from Lin Qingfeng, informing him that the gift had been delivered to Ye Xingchen.

Lin Yu’s heart was filled with anguish…

He gazed at the night scene outside the window, recalling his past with Ye Xingchen, tears blurring his vision.

He picked up the wine beside him and kept pouring it into his mouth, as if doing so could alleviate the pain in his heart.

The room was filled with a strong smell of alcohol. His consciousness gradually blurred, and his body began to lose control, but he never put down the wine bottle in his hand.

In different places, the two of them fell into endless pain and intoxication because of this relationship and this gift, as if the whole world was filled with nothing but their sadness and loneliness.

—The Next Day

Qin Wanwan arrived at the Seaside Villa with a nervous heart.

The servant saw that it was the young master’s fiancée and led her straight upstairs.

Pushing open the door, she saw Ye Xingchen collapsed in the room, surrounded by wine bottles and a complete mess.

His hair was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was haggard.

Qin Wanwan frowned. Before she could speak, Ye Xingchen slowly raised his head, looking at her with confused eyes, and asked, “Who are you?”

Qin Wanwan was speechless for a moment. “Didn’t you say you wanted to marry me, that you agreed to a marriage alliance with our family? You don’t even know who I am?”

Ye Xingchen looked indifferent. “No matter who you are, in my heart, you’re just a tool. Tell me, what do you want?”

Qin Wanwan took a deep breath and mustered her courage to say, “I have someone I like. I hope you can take the initiative to call off the engagement.”

Ye Xingchen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then murmured, “You have someone you like…” Immediately afterward, his eyes gradually cleared, and he motioned for her to continue.

Qin Wanwan nodded eagerly. “My parents will definitely not agree to me calling off the engagement. I hope you can bring it up proactively. You have the power to refuse, but I don’t.”

Ye Xingchen was silent for a moment, then stood up and straightened his disheveled clothes.

“Okay, I agree to your request.”

A look of surprise appeared on Qin Wanwan’s face. She had prepared a lot of words to persuade him, but she didn’t expect him to agree so readily.

“Really? Thank you so much.”

Ye Xingchen laughed at himself. “Perhaps we are all people trapped in this helpless fate.”

At this moment, Qin Wanwan looked at the mess in the room and the Depressed Ye Xingchen and couldn’t help but say, “You don’t like me at all, do you? You don’t even know my name.”

Ye Xingchen didn’t hesitate and answered directly, “I don’t like you.”

Qin Wanwan then asked, “Do you have someone you like?”

Ye Xingchen nodded heavily.

Qin Wanwan continued to ask, “Someone as outstanding as you, with everything you could want, how could you end up like this? What difficulties did you encounter?”

Ye Xingchen answered with a wry smile, “The person I like left. He doesn’t want to accept me.”

Qin Wanwan was curious. “Does he like you?”

Ye Xingchen’s eyes were firm, and his tone was certain. “He said he loved me.”

Qin Wanwan asked doubtfully, “Since he said he loved you, why did he leave? Someone as outstanding as you, with an impeccable appearance, how could he not want to accept you? If I didn’t have someone I liked, you would be a good marriage partner.”

After a moment of silence, Ye Xingchen didn’t know why, but he told the truth.

“Because, we are the same gender.”

As soon as Qin Wanwan heard this, a person instantly appeared in her mind, and she blurted out, “Is it Young Master Lin?”

Ye Xingchen nodded slightly.

Qin Wanwan quickly comforted him, “He said he loves you. Is it possible that he can’t accept it or has other concerns? Don’t give up.”

Then, Qin Wanwan said, “You didn’t even ask me who I like.”

Ye Xingchen raised his eyes to look at her in confusion. Qin Wanwan continued, “The person I like is my best friend. Although we are both girls, we have the courage to face it and be firm in this relationship. Maybe he just lacks some courage.”

In the beginning, Qin Wanwan was actually very hesitant and conflicted, but later she figured it out and decided to bravely pursue her own love.

Qin Wanwan continued to comfort him, “In the beginning, my best friend said she liked me. At that time, I avoided her and even wanted to break up with her.”

She took a few steps and continued, “But later I found out that I actually liked her too, but I couldn’t accept myself. But later, I was gradually moved by her. I think he must be like me too.”

Ye Xingchen suddenly understood and asked uncertainly, “Are you serious?”

Qin Wanwan answered affirmatively, “Of course, after all, same-sex relationships have to face so much. If you hadn’t told me that the person you like is the same gender, I would never have told you that I like women.”

Qin Wanwan looked at the mess on the floor again. “He definitely doesn’t want to see you like this.”

Ye Xingchen looked around, and he felt that she was right.

“Thank you, I will call off the engagement with you as soon as possible.”

“Well, I should be thanking you. It’s a good thing that you like the same gender, otherwise, I really wouldn’t know how to persuade you. After all, I have no say in my family, and many times I am involuntary.”

“Then I’ll go first.” Qin Wanwan waved her hand.

After a while, Ye Xingchen also went downstairs and directly instructed the servants to clean up the room completely.

He returned to his room and reorganized himself, as if he had become the high-spirited self again.

“I will definitely find you.” Ye Xingchen vowed secretly, and quickly increased the manpower to keep inquiring.

Finally, in the second year after Lin Yu left, someone found him in H City in the M country.

It happened to be the second New Year. Ye Xingchen gave the employees a month off and went directly to H City with excitement and trepidation.

According to the information, he went directly to Lin Yu’s home in H City. Looking at the password lock in front of him, Ye Xingchen entered a few numbers, and the door “clicked” open.

Ye Xingchen chuckled and went straight in.

That day, Lin Yu left work as usual. As the New Year approached, he gave the company’s employees half a month off.

After leaving the company, Lin Yu drove to a supermarket near his home and bought a few buckets of instant noodles. He didn’t know how to cook and planned to make do with them.

Thinking that the New Year was coming soon, he wanted to eat dumplings, so he looked up a tutorial online and thought it was quite simple, so he bought some meat, vegetables, and dumpling wrappers, and also bought some fruit.

After buying the things, he drove to the apartment parking lot. After getting out of the car, Lin Yu walked towards his home with two large bags of things.

Then he took the elevator straight to the top floor. As soon as he opened the apartment door, he was pulled in by a strong force.

In his panic, the things in his hands rolled all over the floor.

The lights in the room were not turned on, and it was pitch black.

He was shocked, and before he could react, he crashed into a familiar and long-missed embrace.

Ye Xingchen hugged Lin Yu tightly, as if to rub him into his body, his voice trembling with excitement and agitation: “Yu, I finally found you.”

Lin Yu’s body stiffened, his eyes instantly moistened, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. He didn’t know how to face this person he loved deeply but had cruelly left.
