TCBHIWAF Chapter 12
by VolareHe felt that Lin Yu’s calm and emotionally stable demeanor was what he admired most.
No matter what happened, Lin Yu could remain so calm, not easily angered, and not be influenced by the disturbances of the outside world.
It was precisely this calmness of Lin Yu that made him always feel incredibly at ease by his side.
They smiled at each other and turned to walk towards the terrace of the banquet hall.
A gentle breeze caressed their faces on the terrace, bringing a hint of coolness.
Lin Yu rested his hands on the railing, looked at the distant sea view, and sighed, “The scenery is so beautiful.”
Ye Xingchen stood beside him and responded softly, “With you by my side, the scenery is even more beautiful.”
Lin Yu had a smile on his face, but he didn’t respond. His heart was full of bitterness. If he knew I was leaving, I wonder what he would do?
The two of them quietly watched the distant, undulating waves.
At this time, Shen Qianqian searched everywhere for Lin Yu but couldn’t find him. Crestfallen, she just wanted to come out for some fresh air, but unexpectedly, she raised her eyes and actually spotted his figure.
Shen Qianqian ran up to Lin Yu, her face flushed, and stammered, “Brother Yu, I… I finally found you.”
Gu Chennan, watching from behind, felt a pang in his heart.
His cousin cousin had always been carefree and careless, only in front of Lin Yu would she act like such a young lady.
Lin Yu heard the voice and turned his head, looking at her with a gentle smile.
“Qianqian, why are you here?”
Shen Qianqian lowered her head, twisting the hem of her clothes with both hands, and said softly, “I… I just wanted to see you.”
Ye Xingchen watched from the side, his eyes showing a hint of vigilance and dissatisfaction.
Lin Yu asked, “Did you come alone?”
Shen Qianqian quickly replied, “My cousin cousin is here too.”
Lin Yu frowned slightly, “As a girl, pay attention to your safety and don’t run around.”
Shen Qianqian blushed and nodded, slowly raising her head to glance at Lin Yu, only to feel that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
Cheering herself up in her heart, she mustered her courage and said, “Brother Yu, can I talk to you alone for a few words?”
Shen Qianqian then looked at Ye Xingchen next to him and said, “Brother Xingchen, I want to talk to Brother Yu alone.”
Although Ye Xingchen was dissatisfied, he glanced at Lin Yu, and seeing that he didn’t object, he walked away.
As soon as Ye Xingchen walked to the side, Gu Chennan greeted him and said, “Brother Xingchen, let’s go sit over there and wait for them.”
Ye Xingchen didn’t say anything and walked straight over.
Seeing Ye Xingchen walk away, Lin Yu looked at Shen Qianqian with a gentle smile.
“What do you want to say? Just say it.”
Shen Qianqian took a deep breath, her hands tightly clutching the hem of her clothes, her face flushed, and her eyes slightly red.
“Brother Yu, actually, I’ve liked you for a long, long time. I know I may not be good enough yet, but I’m willing to become better for you, Brother Yu, can you accept me?”
After speaking, Shen Qianqian lowered her head shyly and expectantly, not daring to look at Lin Yu’s expression.
“Qianqian, we’re not suitable…”
Shen Qianqian raised her head, tears in her eyes, and continued to express her feelings:
“Since I was little, my eyes have always followed you. Every smile, every action of yours is deeply engraved in my heart. Over the years, this love has never diminished by half, but has become even stronger. I’m serious.”
Shen Qianqian could no longer control her emotions, and tears swirled in her eyes.
Lin Yu sighed softly, stepped forward, and gently hugged her.
“Qianqian, you are very good, you have always been very good. But I have always regarded you as a younger sister, and I have no romantic feelings for you.
“I hope you can find the happiness that truly belongs to you. You can try to look at the people around you, maybe there is someone more suitable for you than me.”
Hearing Lin Yu’s rejection, Shen Qianqian couldn’t hold back her tears any longer, and large tears fell.
Such a gentle person as Brother Yu made her feel even more reluctant to let go. She hugged Lin Yu tightly, as if trying to rub him into her body.
She buried her head in his arms, crying, sobbing, and continuing to say, “Brother Yu, why, why don’t you like me? I’ve grown up, I’m not a child anymore, I can marry you.”
“Feelings can’t be forced, you can try to let go~” Lin Yu’s voice was still gentle, but with an unquestionable firmness.
Shen Qianqian’s body trembled, tears soaked Lin Yu’s clothes, she raised her tear-streaked face, her eyes filled with despair and unwillingness.
“Brother Yu, I’ve liked you for so many years, how can I forget it as soon as you say, let it go as soon as you say. In my heart, no one can compare to you, and I won’t like anyone else.”
Lin Yu gently wiped away her tears, his eyes full of pity.
“Qianqian, don’t be like this, you will meet the person who truly understands and loves you.”
Shen Qianqian bit her lip, looking stubborn.
“Except for you, I don’t want anyone.”
At this time, on the other side, Gu Chennan and Ye Xingchen sat together, and Gu Chennan, watching the movement over there, said:
“They’re hugging each other, did Qianqian succeed in confessing?”
When Ye Xingchen heard this, he looked over there nervously, his face instantly turning terribly gloomy.
Gu Chennan was still talking to himself: “My cousin cousin likes him, has liked him for so many, many years, I really hope they can become a couple.”
Speaking of this, Ye Xingchen was holding a glass of water in his hand, “Bang~” the glass shattered instantly, shards of glass pierced his palm, and blood flowed straight out.
Hearing the sound, Gu Chennan couldn’t care about eating melonmelons anymore and looked at him nervously.
“Brother Xingchen, are you okay? This glass is of such poor quality, it broke so easily.” As he said that, he hurried to find someone to get a first-aid kit.
At this moment, Ye Xingchen got up and walked straight towards Lin Yu, stopping three meters away from him.
“Yu, we should go.”
At this time, Shen Qianqian’s face was covered with tears, unwilling to let go: “Brother Yu, can you really, really not like me?”
Lin Yu gently pushed her away, “Qianqian, I’ve made myself very clear.” After speaking, he walked towards Ye Xingchen.
He had only taken a few steps when Shen Qianqian, looking at his back, said loudly, “I won’t give up.”
At this time, Lin Yu’s attention was all on Ye Xingchen’s hand, his hand was constantly bleeding, and the blood dripped on the ground, shockingly staining a large area red…
He hurried forward, took his hand to check, and asked nervously, “Xingchen, what happened to your hand? I’ll take you to get medicine.”
Ye Xingchen softly “Mmm” a sound, Lin Yu took his hand to protect him, nervously taking him away, looking for a place to apply medicine to him.
Just then, Gu Chennan brought the first-aid kit and ran forward quickly.
“Quick, apply medicine to Brother Xingchen.”
Lin Yu took it, pulled Ye Xingchen to the side of the table and chairs, and let him sit down.
Lin Yu carefully opened the first-aid kit, took out disinfectant and cotton swabs, and prepared to treat Ye Xingchen’s wound.
At this time, Ye Xingchen’s heart was full of jealousy and unease.
He was really scared just now, afraid that if Lin Yu agreed to be with Shen Qianqian, then what would be between them?
His eyes were somewhat wandering, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Yu, as if trying to see through him.
