If You Don't Fall In Love You'll Die

Chapter 88

After managing to coax Queen Mother and imploring his family over and over again not to spill the beans, Ye Chen hurriedly slipped away.

After getting in the car, Ye Chen sent a message to Ren Jing: [Where are you?]

Ren Jing replied: [In the hotel.]

How did he return so quickly? He couldn’t have been waiting this whole time, right?

Ye Chen replied as he beamed. [I’ll be right there.]

The chat screen always showed that the other person was typing…but he didn’t ask for the news even though “Typing…” had been flashing repeatedly for a while.

Ye Chen could almost imagine Ren Jing’s hesitation. He probably wanted to ask but didn’t dare to?

He couldn’t help but want to give Ren Jing a call. In the end, his cellphone rang first.

This must be the legendary ‘

lovers’ telepathy

’ people were talking about!

Hehehe

. Ye Chen giggled first before answering the call.

Ren Jing’s voice sounded through the microphone, “…Are you already on the way?”

Ye Chen wanted to tease him a little. For instance, pretending that his parents had expelled him out of the house and the like. But he was afraid that Ren Jing would be anxious, so he promptly said instead, “Mm-hmm, I’ll be at the hotel soon.”

Ren Jing paused for a moment before finally asking, “Did Uncle and Auntie…”

Ye Chen said, “Let’s talk about it face to face!”

Hearing Ye Chen’s lively voice, Ren Jing couldn’t help feeling slightly relieved. Certainly, he never believed that he would be accepted. Still, taking this first step was already a great progress.

Ye Chen already hung up the call, but Ren Jing was still staring at the cellphone in his hand for a while. His anxious heart finally calmed down a little. He couldn’t help but touch his cellphone, his fingertips fell on Ye Chen’s fair-skinned face

.

Ye Chen calmed himself down in the car beforehand before arriving at the hotel. He shouldn’t be too cheerful, he certainly shouldn’t…

Once he hypnotized himself with a few words of reassurances, Xiao Liu asked faintly, “Brother Chen, did you score a penta-kill again just now?”

Ye Chen, “…”

Xiao Liu said, “The last time I saw you being so happy was when you got a penta-kill…”

Ye Chen glared at him as he said, “When am I happy? I’m obviously angry right now!”

Xiao Liu, “&#k2026;”

Ye Chen didn’t trust his own acting skills. He adjusted the emotions in his face, then questioned Xiao Liu closely, “Look at me. Do I not look pitiful, nervous, with a bit of lingering fear in my face?”

Xiao Liu’s reply was considerably euphemistic, “…I might need to search the dictionary for the definition of ‘pitiful’, ‘nervous’, and ‘lingering fear’.”

Ye Chen went silent. “Then, what expression could you see in my face?”

Xiao Liu said under his breath, “

As pleased as Punch

.”

Brother Chen was shamed into anger. “Liu Xiaoming, are you blind?”
