174: Chapter 174 Illness

Because they had to sleep early, Lin Chuyan actually felt a bit of regret before going to sleep.

A young man in his prime, finally in a relationship, with a girlfriend who was stunningly beautiful, after a long-distance relationship for so long, to finally meet in person now...

With all these buffs stacked up, if he could still manage to hold back and do nothing, he would definitely be a saint, or there would be something wrong with his body.

Lin Chuyan was no saint, and there was nothing wrong with his body.

After the two of them woke up the next day, the guy started getting restless again.

"Time to get up, I have to go back."

Lin Chuyan hugged her tightly, his lips brushing against her ear, not letting her move: "Good sister, sleep for another 10 minutes, just 10 minutes."

With him nuzzling against her ear, Ruan Xingyu felt a bit sensitive; she wanted to push him away, but she felt a bit weak.

"If I don't go back now, I'll be discovered..."

"What are you afraid of? We're boyfriend and girlfriend." Lin Chuyan kissed her earlobe, "Let me hold you for a while longer."

Who said you can't have fun when you're on your period?

Ruan Xingyu was both annoyed and amused: "Didn't you say sleep for another 10 minutes? Is this what you call sleeping?"

"I was wrong, sister, you smell too good, I couldn't help it."

Lin Chuyan finally understood what it meant by "the king no longer attends morning court," and had to admit there was some truth to it. With such a beauty in his arms, it really took great willpower to get up every morning.

Ruan Xingyu wouldn't be outdone: "Come here, let sister touch your pectoral muscles too."

Lin Chuyan had been sticking to his workouts and had built them up quite well: "Feel free to touch, touch wherever you want. I'm very generous, I guarantee you won't lose out. I have abs too. Come on, don't be shy, go ahead."

Just as they were messing around, a message suddenly arrived on WeChat.

On the night of the official announcement, Lin Chuyan had received many WeChat well-wishes from friends, such as Qiao Wei, Su He, and Shi Shilan... Replying to these was simple.

However, the WeChat message he received right now was from Chen Wanyi.

"Xiao Yan, Auntie is happy for you both. You two should get along well. Working in this industry sometimes means endless busyness. When things come up, think more of the other person; mutual understanding is the only way to go far. Xingxing hasn't dated before, and her personality is a bit strong. If she does anything wrong, tell Auntie."

[We are indeed getting along well...]

For this simple WeChat message, Lin Chuyan thought it over and deliberated for a long time...

Seeing his troubled expression, Ruan Xingyu couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

Lin Chuyan handed his phone to her directly: "Here, look. Auntie says you have a strong personality and told you to be nicer to me."

"Am I strong-willed?"

"Not strong-willed. Of course, it would be better if you could kick me a little lighter when I'm under the covers."

"Pah, shameless." Ruan Xingyu's ears turned a little red, feeling that this guy was becoming increasingly outrageous, "I'll kick you again next time."

Lin Chuyan wasn't afraid of her: "I'll dare to do it again next time."

Well, hearing that made Ruan Xingyu want to kick him again.

But in the end, she held back—this guy was becoming more and more of a pervert. Sometimes when she kicked him, he wouldn't even dodge and would shamelessly say, "Kick me again."

Scary. Is this what men are like?

The message Lin Chuyan finally sent was quite normal: "Don't worry, Auntie. Xingxing is doing great, and our relationship is very good too. I just finished my work these days, so I came over to accompany her immediately."

Although this sentence looked plain and unremarkable, in reality, the first half affirmed that Ruan Xingyu treated him well, and the second half subtly implied that he also treated Ruan Xingyu well.

All he could say was, he tried his best...

However, after sending it, Lin Chuyan felt a bit guilty. Although he really did come to keep her company, they were also sleeping in the same hotel room... He didn't know if Ms. Chen Wanyi would think of this and let her imagination run wild.

Chen Wanyi might be fine, but what would his father-in-law, whom he had never met, think? His own daughter openly kissing some wild man from who knows where at a concert... Terrifying. Putting himself in his shoes, adopting the perspective of the father-in-law, just thinking about it made him feel suffocated, as if the man would want to kill him.

Forget it, deal with soldiers with soldiers, water with earth. No matter what, this was something he had to endure. You can't crawl into the bed and then not allow the father-in-law to be angry, right?

Hmm, before meeting the parents, none of this needed to be considered; he could act like an ostrich for now.

Besides Chen Wanyi, Ms. Su Lanxin also sent a WeChat message, expressing encouragement and gratification.

"Keep up this rhythm, keep it up. The next step is to wait until you both finish your work and bring your girlfriend home, so the other party knows our family isn't unreasonable, that way they can be at ease. Once you've met the parents, without any worries, your relationship will be even more stable."

It has to be said, Su Lanxin's words were rough but the logic was sound; thinking about it carefully, it actually made a lot of sense...

As for his own mom, Lin Chuyan replied much more casually: "Amazing, you've thought it through very thoroughly!"

Su Lanxin: "Fighting.gif"

After dawdling for a long time, the two of them finally got up.

Ruan Xingyu had to continue her concerts for the next two days, and Lin Chuyan naturally followed her closely, not leaving her side for a single step.

After the official announcement, the two of them became increasingly unrestrained, making it a point not to avoid people. In the afternoon, they even went out to stroll through two famous shopping districts in Shanghai, and then they got photographed...

Although they were both wearing hats in the photos, their figures—one tall and upright, the other graceful—made passersby take a second look. They were quite conspicuous. And so, they ended up on the trending topics again.

"Lin Chuyan is so well-behaved, just responsible for following behind Ruan Xingyu and carrying her bags, right? Love it, love it."

"Damn, showing off their affection the second day after the official announcement, is Lin Chuyan really not afraid of fans leaving?"

"Lin Chuyan is handsome, that's true, but we don't just rely on looks in the entertainment industry, so rest assured."

"Ruan Xingyu is really tall, it's a good thing Lin Chuyan is even taller. With them both being so tall, wouldn't their child be very suitable for playing basketball? I strongly suggest Lin Chuyan also cultivate the child's singing, dancing, and rap skills, so the child wins at the starting line the moment they are born."

However, dating Ruan Xingyu didn't just have downsides like fans leaving.

Lin Chuyan quickly felt what it meant to be with a diva.

His experience since his debut was quickly dug up by people all over again.

Not only that, even his parents' backgrounds, education, and so on... were all dug up, clean and detailed.

This matter was actually quite scary. If there really were any dark history, this one move would immediately reveal your true colors.

But also because of this operation, one thing suddenly broke into everyone's field of vision. That was the illness of Lin Chuyan's father, Lin Zhiyuan.

Many fans suddenly discovered that the timing of this illness seemed to overlap a bit with the time of Lin Chuyan's debut...

Eh, it couldn't be that coincidental, right?

Damn it, are the few stains on my idol's record about to be stripped away? Don't do this, leave a way for the Haters to survive!
