Other Angles

Seeing that two fish had actually sneaked in and were even chatting and laughing with the Chen family relatives nearby, Ye Shuang didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Were these two a little too bold?

Since things had come to this, Ye Shuang could only pretend not to notice, even starting to hypnotize himself.

It was all an illusion.

The two fish were actually the steamed fish on the table that had turned into spirits—definitely not the real An Shiyu and Chao Yiyu.

“Ye, what’s wrong?” At that moment, Chen Qin, sitting beside him, noticed that Ye Shuang seemed to be spacing out. She tugged curiously at his sleeve and asked, “Not feeling well?”

Ye Shuang snapped back to reality and simply said, “No, do you want some fish? I’ll get you some.”

“Sure.”

Winner of the day—

The two fish had eaten their fill.

……

……

After meeting with Chen Qin’s relatives, Ye Shuang and Chen Qin’s wedding was drawing near. But even so, Ye Shuang was still busy during this time, barely even going to school.

Between company matters, wedding preparations, and discussions about wedding photos, even though Ye Shuang could delegate tasks, he still found himself running around nonstop.

“Haah—”

“Brother, you look really tired lately.” At breakfast, Tang Keke noticed Ye Shuang’s dark circles and asked curiously, “Are you okay?”

“Well, I should be fine.” Ye Shuang smiled and shook his head as he yawned again. Seeing this, Bai Yuyou, sitting beside him, reached out a small hand to touch his forehead, as if checking whether he had a fever.

“Ye Shuang, are you okay?” Bai Yuyou’s fingers were soft and gentle, cool against his forehead. Ye Shuang simply held her hand and said, “I don’t have a fever, and even if it were a low fever, you wouldn’t be able to tell by touch.”

“Dad, I know where the thermometer is!” Yezi immediately said.

“No fever. I’m just a bit busy lately and probably haven’t been resting well.” Ye Shuang stretched his neck, and it cracked a few times. He hadn’t been sleeping well recently, too many things on his mind, and once he had worries, it was hard to fall into a deep sleep.

After breakfast, Ye Shuang sat in the living room, planning to drink a cup of coffee before heading out, when he noticed Tang Keke and Bai Yuyou sitting nearby, staring at him.

“What’s up? Aren’t you going out?” Seeing Bai Yuyou gazing at him intently, Ye Shuang asked with a smile. “Is there something else?”

“Ye Shuang has been tired lately. I want to give you a massage,” Bai Yuyou said softly.

“Now?” Ye Shuang was a bit taken aback; he hadn’t expected that. Although there was still some time before class, getting a massage right now didn’t seem quite right, did it?

“Mm.” Bai Yuyou nodded immediately.

“I see…” Seeing how thoughtful Bai Yuyou was, Ye Shuang didn’t refuse this time. He just asked what he needed to do.

Bai Yuyou seemed a little excited, her little antenna hair sticking straight up. She patted her thigh. “Put your face here.”

“My face?”

“Mm.”

At that moment, Bai Yuyou climbed onto the sofa and sat in a kneeling position, gesturing for Ye Shuang to come over.

Ye Shuang lay down on the sofa, resting his face on Bai Yuyou’s lap.

The faint scent of Bai Yuyou reached his nose, and the next second, he felt tapping on his back—not too heavy, just the right amount of pressure, very comfortable.

“Ye Shuang, is this okay?” Bai Yuyou asked softly.

“Well, it’s really good.”

Ye Shuang genuinely felt that this was nice. Although the technique wasn’t professional, the experience was top-notch. Because of the way Yuyou leaned forward to massage him, he could also feel the softness of her figure pressing against the back of his head.

“I’ll help too.” Tang Keke beside him reached out a hand.

She then started massaging Ye Shuang’s calves.

“Me too.”

Yezi joined in the fun, but she didn’t really know how to massage. She simply patted Ye Shuang’s butt.

After more than ten minutes, Ye Shuang sat up and patted his own face.

“Not bad, I’m fully recharged!”

“There’s also this.”

Bai Yuyou straddled him, hugged him tightly, and buried her face in his chest.

“Recharging energy——”

Keke and Yezi watched, looking as if they were used to this by now.

Ye Shuang gently held Bai Yuyou back. After a moment, the girl lifted her head and asked, “Ye Shuang, are you still tired now?”

“Not tired anymore.” Ye Shuang smiled and pinched Bai Yuyou’s cheek.

“Good.” Perhaps seeing the smile on Ye Shuang’s face, Bai Yuyou nodded her head.

At this point, Keke glanced at the time. “Ah, it’s getting late. Brother, we should head out, or we’ll be late.”

“I’ll take you there.”

“Oh, that works too,” Keke said.

“Ye Shuang will get tired. Let’s take a taxi instead.” Bai Yuyou said to Tang Keke. She seemed to want to lighten Ye Shuang’s burden.

“Taking a taxi works too. I’m good with anything, but we’ll need to pick up Peach,” Keke said with a giggle.

“No need. For me, it’s only an extra ten minutes of driving.” Ye Shuang reached out and ruffled Bai Yuyou’s hair, then said, “Let’s leave now. I still need to take Yezi to school.”

“Okay.” Since Ye Shuang said so, Bai Yuyou didn’t object anymore.

After picking up Peach in a little less than half an hour, they arrived at Silver Mountain Academy.

“Brother, we’re off.”

“See you later, Brother Ye.”

“Bye, Ye Shuang.”

“Alright, I’m going.”

Watching Ye Shuang’s car slowly fade into the distance, Bai Yuyou stood there silently gazing after it until Tang Keke pulled her arm. “Let’s go, Yu You.”

“Mm.” Bai Yuyou turned around and nodded gently.

“The school anniversary is coming up soon. Is the Light Music Club going to prepare a performance?” Peach asked from the side.

“Yeah, we performed last year too,” Tang Keke said, nodding. “The Light Music Club even won an award back then.”

“So are we performing again this year?”

“Probably, but we’ll still need to ask Zhixia. We need to prepare the content for the concert,” Tang Keke thought about this and already started to feel like backing out.

“Will Brother Ye come to see it?”

“I don’t know.”

Bai Yuyou seemed to be spacing out again at this moment. When Peach asked about their concert plans, Bai Yuyou didn’t respond at all.

“Yu You, you’re spacing out again.” Peach waved a hand in front of Bai Yuyou’s face.

“Mm, sorry,” Bai Yuyou said softly.

“What are you thinking about? Something about Brother Ye?” Peach seemed to understand. After all, if there was one thing that could make Bai Yuyou this distracted, it could only be Ye Shuang.

“Mm. Ye Shuang is busy, and I can’t help…” Bai Yuyou clutched her chest. “It hurts.”

“What Brother does is something even Yu You can’t help with,” Keke said, hands on her hips. “Ah, well, why not try a different angle?”

“A different angle?”
