TCBHIWAF Chapter 6
by Volare“Then I’m coming in,” Ye Xingchen said, gently pushing the door open.
Lin Yu was wrapped in a bath towel, his body trembling slightly, his hand supporting the wall beside him, his face as pale as paper, and a hint of unspeakable discomfort in his eyes.
Ye Xingchen felt extremely sorry for him. He rushed forward and picked him up directly, saying gently, “Let me carry you out.”
After going out.
Ye Xingchen gently placed Lin Yu on the sofa chair, picked up a hair dryer, and carefully dried his hair…
After drying his hair, he put him on the bed and covered him with a quilt. Every movement was particularly gentle, as if Lin Yu was a fragile treasure.
Then, Ye Xingchen quickly rushed into the bathroom to wash up. He casually wiped his hair with a towel, and then walked to the bedside with the ointment, saying, “Lie down, I’ll help you apply the medicine.”
Lin Yu pursed his lips tightly, his cheeks slightly red, and did not make a sound.
Ye Xingchen applied the medicine carefully, saying with guilt, “I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay.”
Although he said it was okay, Lin Yu made a decision secretly in his heart.
He could not accept himself like this. The inner entanglement and struggle made him feel very unbearable.
He could no longer face relatives, friends, or even acquaintances. The sense of shame followed him like a shadow, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He desperately wanted to escape from everyone and find a place to breathe.
Anyway, he had already decided to leave, so he might as well be a little more compliant.
Lin Yu looked at Ye Xingchen and suggested, “Xingchen, we haven’t gone out to play together for a long time. Let’s take a few days off.”
As soon as Ye Xingchen heard this, his eyes suddenly became bright with joy. He couldn’t hide the joy on his face.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you!”
‘Yu’ took the initiative to ask him out to play, did it mean that he was willing to accept him?
At this moment, Lin Yu leaned on Ye Xingchen’s shoulder, reached out and hugged his lean and strong waist, closed his eyes and enjoyed this moment.
How could he have no feelings for Ye Xingchen?
But he couldn’t convince himself, so let him covet this little while.
Before long, Lin Yu felt physically and mentally exhausted and fell asleep unconsciously.
Ye Xingchen looked at Lin Yu, who was sleeping peacefully in his arms, with eyes full of doting and heartache.
He gently put Lin Yu on the bed, covered him with a quilt, and kissed him on the forehead before tiptoeing out of the room.
Ye Xingchen went out and looked at the employees who were still working hard, and then looked at the time, saying, “No overtime today, everyone go home.”
Then he added, “Double pay this week.”
The employees were overjoyed, and cheers rose one after another…
Ye Xingchen ignored them and went straight back to the office. His eyes fell on the Lin’s Corporation cooperation plan from the daytime, and he signed it directly without hesitation.
In fact, even if ‘Yu’ didn’t come, he would have signed it, but now that ‘Yu’ came, he didn’t want to let him go.
He had finally taken this step, and even if ‘Yu’ was not used to it yet, he would make ‘Yu’ get used to him until he fully adapted to their new relationship.
After the employees had left, Ye Xingchen simply carried Lin Yu and drove back to the Seaside Villa.
Then, he carefully carried Lin Yu back to his bedroom, put him on the bed, adjusted the position of the pillow so that he could sleep more comfortably.
Ye Xingchen sat down by the bed, looking at him gently.
After a while, Ye Xingchen got up and walked to the study. He gently turned an ornament on the bookshelf, and the bookshelf slowly moved, revealing a small secret chamber.
The secret chamber was densely packed with many things, all related to Lin Yu.
Because their families were family friends, they grew up together since childhood, and there were countless memories between them…
The old leather ball in the corner was a gift Lin Yu had once given him.
There were also kites and slingshots that they had played with, as well as countless small toys.
In the photo frames hanging on the wall, there were photos of them making faces together in elementary school, group photos of them wearing school uniforms side by side in middle school, moments of sprinting at the high school sports meet, and bright smiles at the university graduation ceremony.
Ye Xingchen mostly had a cold face, but every time he took pictures or did things with Lin Yu, he would unconsciously show a gentle smile. He himself didn’t realize it, as if he had been slowly infected by Lin Yu.
Their relationship was getting better and better.
In the eyes of outsiders, Ye Xingchen was taciturn, unattainable, and difficult to approach.
Lin Yu, on the other hand, was as gentle as jade, treating everyone with courtesy, as warm as a spring breeze.
He, on the surface, seemed aloof and indifferent, didn’t like to talk, was noble and detached, as if he didn’t eat the food of the world.
In fact, only he himself knew that his inner depths hid inferiority and distortion.
Even though he was now the dream lover of all the women in Jing City, the object they all wanted to marry, the haze in his heart had never dissipated.
The appearance of Lin Yu was like a beam of light, slowly illuminating his dark world and healing his scarred heart.
But later, Ye Xingchen’s thoughts gradually changed.
He increasingly wanted to keep Lin Yu, not just as his good friend. This kind of emotion quietly grew and spread in his heart, eventually evolving into another deep and complex feeling.
Every time he saw Lin Yu showing a smile to others, a kind of unspeakable bitterness would well up in Ye Xingchen’s heart.
Whenever Lin Yu was close to others, Ye Xingchen couldn’t help but want to pull him back to his side.
This possessiveness became more and more intense, making Ye Xingchen clearly realize that his feelings for Lin Yu had long surpassed the boundaries of friendship.
He began to test cautiously, trying to express his feelings to Lin Yu, but he was afraid that it would destroy the original beautiful relationship between them.
Ye Xingchen struggled and wandered in this forbidden emotion, not knowing what to do.
It wasn’t until the last time Lin Yu came to him for help that Ye Xingchen seized that opportunity.
He knew that Lin Yu would definitely compromise, after all, he knew too well what he cared about.
Thinking of the current state of getting along with ‘Yu’, although he might still not be very willing in his heart, Ye Xingchen firmly believed that one day, he would make ‘Yu’s’ heart, and all of him, completely belong to him.
Ye Xingchen’s eyes became firm and persistent, as if he had already seen that beautiful future.
He secretly vowed that no matter what the cost, he would achieve this goal and keep Lin Yu by his side forever, never to leave again.
He knew that his goal was being realized step by step.
After thinking about this, Ye Xingchen picked up a candid photo of him and Lin Yu taken on the seaside. In the photo, the two of them were bathed in warm sunlight, smiling brightly.
His fingers gently caressed the photo, as if touching that beautiful memory, and then he hugged the photo tightly in his arms. After a long time, he reluctantly put it down slowly.
He opened the door of the secret chamber and went out. When he returned to the room and saw Lin Yu sleeping peacefully on the bed, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise.
Ye Xingchen walked gently to the bedside, thinking that ‘Yu’ hadn’t eaten anything all afternoon, and wondering if he would be hungry.
Seeing him sleeping so soundly, he didn’t want to disturb him.
Ye Xingchen gently lifted the quilt, carefully lay down beside Lin Yu, put his hand gently on his waist, and looked at him sideways, before closing his eyes with satisfaction.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yu woke up leisurely, and his stomach grumbled a few times uncontrollably.
This slight movement immediately woke Ye Xingchen beside him, and he heard the grumbling sound.
As soon as Ye Xingchen opened his eyes, he hurriedly said, “Yu, I’ll go make you a late-night snack.”
Lin Yu quickly said, “I’ll go with you.”
After all, there wouldn’t be many chances like this.
