Chapter 1656: After Meeting the Top Fan, I Was Entangled by a Yandere 04

After lunch and finishing the video, today's meeting should end here.

Jiang Sui followed Jin Chen downstairs; it was the busy afternoon‑tea hour at the café, and the hidden reluctance in his heart was instantly replaced by nervousness—he was very unaccustomed to crowded places.

Jin Chen saw his steps slow, glanced downstairs, seemed to sense something, and reached out his hand: "Don't be scared, I'll see you off."

Jiang Sui first nodded, then after putting on his mask and hat, slowly placed his hand in Jin Chen's palm; the moment their fingertips touched, cold and heat intertwined.

How can it be this warm?

Jiang Sui rarely, or rather, since he could remember, had never had such contact with another person; the warmth traveled from his fingertips to his heart, feeling more comforting than being tucked under a blanket.

I want…… to keep holding hands.

Jiang Sui bit the tip of his tongue.

Jin Chen led him to the back door; the barista curiously poked his head out, but not only did he not get a clear look at Bang Yi Ge's face, he didn't even see his profile—he was all bundled up.

Unfortunately, it was raining outside, and the rain wasn't light.

Autumn's lingering showers never cease; outside the café, leaves swirled, while inside the fragrant steam rose—it felt like two different seasons.

Jin Chen looked back at him and said, "It's raining; did you bring an umbrella, or is someone coming to pick you up?"

Jiang Sui lifted his eyes to meet Jin Chen's, and upon seeing the unreserved concern in his gaze, the corner of his mouth twitched: "No."

But if you think about it, it's obvious: with his social anxiety this severe, he couldn't have gotten here safely without someone seeing him off.

Jin Chen didn't call him out, feigned ignorance, and smiled: "Then let me drive you home; wait here while I get the car."

……Okay.

What a pity; I thought I could stay.

Jiang Sui tilted his head slightly, watching Jin Chen push open the door to the garage; the autumn wind blew in a fine drizzle, and it was cold.

A vague sense of restlessness welled up in his chest.

He didn't like watching that person's solitary retreating back, as if he would never turn around.

Jiang Sui licked his lips, bit his tongue until the metallic taste burst forth, barely suppressing the discomfort of restlessness in the unfamiliar setting.

At that moment, out of the corner of his eye he noticed the black sedan still waiting across from the café, and Jiang Sui picked up his phone to send a message.

-You can leave now.

-Okay.

Jiang Sui had a driver‑assistant he had only met a few times, paid a high salary, whose sole requirement was not to ask questions and avoid meeting—even when driving, he always kept the partition up.

Over time, Jiang Sui even forgot what that driver looked like.

Jiang Sui waited a while longer,

Why isn't he back yet? Why isn't he back yet?

Jiang Sui stepped a few paces outward, his breathing grew more rapid, that thought looping in his mind as he slowly lowered his gaze.

As Jin Chen drove over, the two cars happened to graze each other; he glanced in the rearview mirror, his eyebrows slightly lifting.

His wife wanted to create more opportunities to be together, so how could he refuse?

"Sorry for the wait."

Jin Chen opened his umbrella and went to the door to meet him, but saw Jiang Sui's complexion wasn't great, the strands of hair at his forehead damp and limp, pallid as a phantom conjured from the rain.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Jin Chen stared at him, his tone laced with concern.

Jiang Sui lifted his dark eyes, gradually gaining a bit of spirit, and slowly shook his head.

"... Cold."

A few seconds later, a windbreaker warmed with a hint of sandalwood was draped over his shoulders.

Jin Chen was genuinely startled by his body temperature, thinking, "When should I take him to the hospital for a full checkup?"

He put an arm around Jiang Sui's shoulders and whispered, "Come on, let me take you home."

The two stepped into the rain curtain, embraced by the autumn hues.

Only after sitting in the passenger seat did Jiang Sui come to, feeling as if he'd fallen into a brazier—everywhere was hot, scorching his senses into a daze.

Jiang Sui pulled the windbreaker tighter, his cheek brushing the collar, his breath growing hotter.

I really like this scent.

His anxiety had never dissipated so quickly before.

The ride back was quiet, the heater on full blast, and Jin Chen pondered the odds of successfully tricking Jiang Sui into going to the hospital for a checkup while he drove.

Jiang Sui turned his head to watch the rain droplets slide down the window, recalling the day's events, and furtively glanced at Jin Chen's profile.

Would he think I'm strange?

Jin Chen still had something else on his mind, and he asked gently, "During the video recording, you didn't answer that question—can I know the answer?"

If Jiang Sui doesn't volunteer it, he can't keep 'feeding' him, and if he keeps going hungry like this, his problems will only multiply.

Jiang Sui gazed at him in a daze, his ink‑like brows and eyes a little vacant, his mind torn.

He wanted to tell the truth without hiding it, but he was afraid Jin Chen would also find it strange—he had already shown many odd behaviors today.

Jin Chen would probably be scared off.

At that moment, Jin Chen suddenly reached out and ruffled his hair; it felt soft.

Then, unable to resist, he rubbed it two more times, utterly flustering the conflicted youth to the point of a red‑faced crash.

Really adorable.

Jin Chen suppressed his smile and continued with the matter at hand: "Don't be nervous; if you don't want to say it, just forget it."

The just‑right sense of loss, as if not getting an answer mattered a lot to him.

A faint twinge prickled Jiang Sui's heart, sourness spreading; he anxiously grabbed Jin Chen's hand as he tried to pull it back: "I… I'll tell you."

"'Because…… I can't keep it down,' his tone deep with self‑loathing, 'Eating on my own, watching other streamers—it's all unpleasant…… I end up vomiting.'"

In fact, sometimes even after finishing a meal while watching Jin Chen's livestream and videos, he still finds the food he's ingested revolting.

It just happened to be a red light.

The car interior fell silent for two seconds; Jin Chen lightly patted the back of his hand, which he had unconsciously clenched, and said, "I understand."

Watching my videos, eating my food just won't, right?

Jiang Sui slowly nodded, gazing at Jin Chen's brows and eyes as if awaiting judgment, his heart suspended.

"The gifts you sent in the livestream are more than enough to hire a chef," Jin Chen gently stroked his hair, finally able to voice his purpose.

From now on, I'll take care of your three meals a day, alright?

Jiang Sui's eyes widened slightly in surprise; after reacting, his heart felt like a pot of boiling water, warm, moist steam spreading through his limbs.

It was too good; he wanted to keep it all to himself, not letting anyone discover it.

"……."

Jiang Sui responded with a slightly hoarse voice, his gaze toward Jin Chen gaining a hint of darkness, unblinking.
