TCBHIWAF Chapter 62

Chapter 62: Aren’t We Best Friends?

Ye Xingchen was stunned for a moment, a trace of hurt flashed across his face, but he quickly pretended to be calm.

“Do I have other relationships with you? Aren’t we best friends? We grew up together, so what’s wrong with you staying at my house? Besides, are you reminding me of the ‘that’ relationship you just mentioned?”

Lin Yu avoided Ye Xingchen’s gaze, his tone carrying a hint of decisiveness.

“Xingchen, I hope you can understand, I hope you’ll be well. As long as you’re doing well, I’ll be fine.”

“Don’t say anymore, I understand everything.” Ye Xingchen replied seemingly nonchalantly, but his tightly clenched fist betrayed the turmoil in his heart.

Silence fell in the hospital room, the atmosphere so oppressive it was hard to breathe.

After a while, Ye Xingchen took the lead in breaking the silence, his voice trying to sound relaxed:

“I’ll go ask the doctor if you can be discharged? I’ll take you home. It’s always uncomfortable in the hospital.”

Lin Yu still didn’t speak, just quietly watched Ye Xingchen turn and walk out of the ward, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Ye Xingchen walked quickly out of the ward, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his emotions.

He knew that there was still a long way to go to get ‘Yu’ to accept him, but he wouldn’t give up.

Ye Xingchen found the doctor and inquired in detail about Lin Yu’s physical condition.

The doctor said that Lin Yu’s body was fine and he could be discharged.

Ye Xingchen returned to the ward and told Lin Yu the news. Lin Yu silently prepared to get up, but due to the lingering effects of the medicine, his steps were still a little unsteady, and his body swayed slightly.

Ye Xingchen was quick to react and hurried forward to support him, saying with concern, “Be careful.”

Lin Yu said “Thank you” in a low voice, his voice as light as a mosquito’s hum.

Ye Xingchen supported Lin Yu and slowly walked towards the door.

Along the way, Lin Yu seemed a little weak due to physical discomfort, almost leaning most of his weight on Ye Xingchen.

Ye Xingchen slightly exerted force in his arm, steadily supporting him, and gently comforted him, “Don’t rush, walk slowly.”

At the elevator, Ye Xingchen pressed the button, held Lin Yu into it.

In the narrow space, the breathing of the two intertwined, Lin Yu slightly lowered his head, deliberately avoiding Ye Xingchen’s eyes.

After exiting the elevator, Ye Xingchen supported Lin Yu downstairs.

Lin Yu’s steps were still a little unsteady, and he seemed cautious with every step.

Ye Xingchen felt sorry for him and said softly, “How about I carry you on my back? That way, we can get there faster.”

Lin Yu shook his head slightly and refused softly, “No need, I can walk myself.”

Finally downstairs, Ye Xingchen helped Lin Yu into the car and fastened his seat belt.

Looking at Lin Yu’s pale face, Ye Xingchen’s heart was full of pity.

Afterward, Ye Xingchen sat in the driver’s seat, started the car, and drove towards the Seaside Villa.

About 25 minutes later, Ye Xingchen’s car slowly drove towards the Seaside Villa.

The guard at the gate was sharp-eyed and deftly pressed the door-opening button, and the electric gate slowly opened.

Ye Xingchen gently pressed the accelerator, and the car steadily drove into the courtyard.

He quickly unfastened his seat belt, hurried out of the car, and took a few steps around to the passenger seat.

Gently opening the car door, Ye Xingchen leaned in, his voice gentle and concerned: “Yu, we’re here, let’s get out.”

Lin Yu opened his eyes slightly, his eyes weary, and nodded weakly.

With Ye Xingchen’s support, he slowly got up and got out of the car.

Lin Yu’s legs were weak, and his entire center of gravity was unstable. Ye Xingchen quickly hugged his waist tightly, put his arm around his shoulder, and carefully supported him step by step towards the villa.

As soon as he stepped into the villa, a warm breath, carrying a rich aroma of food, rushed towards him.

Ye Xingchen had already instructed the servants to prepare a nourishing dinner.

On the exquisite dining table, the bird’s nest in the stew pot gleamed with a crystal clear luster, wisps of steam rising, emitting a faint sweet fragrance.

The surroundings were filled with a combination of meat and vegetable dishes, each one with an enticing color, clearly carefully prepared.

Ye Xingchen supported Lin Yu to the dining table, gently pulled out a chair, and helped him sit down slowly.

Then, he picked up a soup spoon, scooped a spoonful of bird’s nest from the stew pot, gently blew on it near his mouth, and handed it to Lin Yu.

“Come, drink some bird’s nest, it’s good for your body recovery. I specially asked someone to stew it for you.”

A trace of gratitude flashed in Lin Yu’s eyes. He thanked him softly, took the spoon, and slowly brought the bird’s nest to his mouth.

The warm bird’s nest slid down his throat, as if injecting a trace of vitality into his weak body.

Ye Xingchen watched Lin Yu intently, his eyes full of heartache, and he didn’t forget to urge him, “Eat slowly, don’t rush, be careful it’s hot.”

Lin Yu nodded slightly and continued to eat the bird’s nest spoonful by spoonful.

Seeing this, Ye Xingchen picked up chopsticks and put broccoli into Lin Yu’s bowl.

“Eat some vegetables too, a balanced diet will help your body recover faster.”

The corners of Lin Yu’s mouth turned up slightly, revealing a weak smile, and he silently ate the vegetables Ye Xingchen picked for him.

The entire dining process was quiet and warm, with only the slight sound of cutlery clinking occasionally.

Ye Xingchen focused on taking care of Lin Yu, every movement was meticulous and thoughtful, his eyes always filled with concern, looking at him from time to time.

Ye Xingchen’s eyes were always on Lin Yu, his caring gaze never wavering.

He noticed every subtle reaction of Lin Yu. Seeing that Lin Yu’s speed slowed down after taking a few bites, he asked softly, “Does it not suit your taste? There are other dishes, tell me what you want to eat.”

Lin Yu shook his head and said softly, “It’s delicious, but I can’t eat anymore.”

Ye Xingchen frowned slightly, with a hint of worry: “Eat a little more, at least replenish some nutrients, you suffered so much today.”

Lin Yu hesitated for a moment and reluctantly ate a few more bites.

After finishing the meal, Lin Yu got up slightly, and said with some fatigue, “I’m going upstairs to rest.” Saying that, he walked towards the stairs on his own.

Seeing this, Ye Xingchen quickly followed, supporting Lin Yu’s arm.

“I’ll take you up, I’ve arranged a room for you.”

Lin Yu paused, glanced at Ye Xingchen, and ultimately did not refuse.

The two slowly went up the stairs, Ye Xingchen introducing softly as he walked, “That room has good lighting, and it’s quiet at night, you’ll definitely get a good night’s sleep.”

At the door of the room, Ye Xingchen pushed open the door. The room was warmly decorated, the bed was soft and clean, and there were also a few bunches of fresh flowers, emitting a faint fragrance.

Ye Xingchen supported Lin Yu to the bed, “You rest well, call me anytime if you need anything, I’m next door.”

Lin Yu looked at Ye Xingchen and saw his sincere face, and only then did he relax, nodding slightly: “Okay, I understand.”

Ye Xingchen smiled and said, “Why are you being so polite with me? Go rest.”

After speaking, he gently closed the door, left the room, leaving Lin Yu in the quiet room.

After taking a bath, Lin Yu slowly lay down on the bed, the soft bed seemed to envelop his fatigue little by little.

He tilted his head slightly, his eyes a little vacant, his thoughts involuntarily drifting back to the bits and pieces of his time with Ye Xingchen.
