Chapter 332: Matchmaker
After Tang Xiaohu left, Chen Yechu released her lightly linked arm from Yu Zhiyu. Her smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression as she looked at him.
“Your face is just too charming. I need to think about whether I should…”
Yu Zhiyu anxiously grabbed her hand, looking at her carefully, his tone a little aggrieved: “This face was given to me by my mom, I can’t help it. Please tolerate it. Besides you, I would reject anyone else directly—I won’t give outsiders any hope.”
Chen Yechu’s lips curved into a smile, a little proud and teasing as she hummed: “Hmph, you pass today’s test. I’ll give you a point for your performance.”
“Th-then… what you said just now about being in a relationship… is that real?”
Yu Zhiyu pressed his tense lips together, staring nervously into Chen Yechu’s eyes.
“What’s said is like water poured out—it can’t be taken back.”
Chen Yechu said this in rapid speech, then stomped her foot and ran off shyly.
Just as she reached the corner, Ning Xiyue awkwardly but politely smiled and waved at her: “Hi~”
Seeing Ning Xiyue crouched there, smiling and waving, Chen Yechu suddenly remembered she hadn’t come alone. She recalled Ning Xiyue, whom she had completely forgotten in the corner, waiting there for her.
Ning Xiyue’s smile made Chen Yechu feel even shyer and slightly embarrassed. She ran over, grabbed Ning Xiyue’s hand, and hurriedly dashed toward the kitchen.
Yu Zhiyu, chasing after her, noticed for the first time that Ning Xiyue was there too—and that she was their friend.
Had she heard everything that had just happened between him and Chen Yechu?
His heart was a jumble of emotions, mixed with a quiet joy.
This meant that what Chen Yechu had just said about being in a relationship had a witness—someone confirming it. The words were true, undeniable. He had a witness.
“She agreed… I finally have a partner. I’m in a relationship with Yechu!”
Yu Zhiyu stood in place, chuckling foolishly a few times before running after them.
He wanted to shout this news to the entire team, but he reminded himself to follow Chen Yechu’s lead.
Meanwhile, Chen Yechu and Ning Xiyue had already reached the kitchen and sat down to talk.
“You’ve made up your mind, then?” Ning Xiyue asked, looking at Chen Yechu.
Chen Yechu’s eyes sparkled like stars, her gaze curved into a smile, a warm, sweet joy spreading from her eyes to the corners of her mouth: “I’ve made up my mind. It’s him.”
Ning Xiyue looked at Yu Zhiyu, who had just arrived at the doorway, a smile of blessing on his face, and said: “Then congratulations to both of you. You’re officially in a relationship now. Don’t forget to give me some wedding candy later.”
Ning Xiyue was thrilled inside. She was now the witness to the beginning of the love story of the perfectly matched main couple.
She declared it: the CP she had been rooting for now only needed to go to the civil affairs office to make it official.
Yu Zhiyu, hearing this immediately upon entering, could hardly contain his joy. Foolishly smiling, flustered, he bowed to Ning Xiyue in gratitude: “Thank you, thank you! You’re officially our matchmaker. When we get married, I’ll give you a matchmaker’s gift.”
“Marriage? You’re only in a relationship, don’t think so far ahead,” Chen Yechu said shyly, glancing at Yu Zhiyu, then smiled at Ning Xiyue: “You’re our matchmaker, Xiyue. Thank you.”
“This is so heartwarming! I’ll remember this. When it’s time for your matchmaker’s red envelope, make sure it’s a big one. If it’s small, I won’t accept it,” Ning Xiyue joked.
“It’ll be big, it’ll be big,” Yu Zhiyu chuckled happily, feeling an unprecedented joy in his heart.
Seeing the lovers so full of affection, gazing at each other with tender smiles, Ning Xiyue didn’t want to interrupt this exciting moment. She stood up and headed out.
“All right, you two chat. I’m going to help my brother plant the vegetables.”
She reached the doorway and turned to ask, “By the way, can I tell my brother the good news?”
Yu Zhiyu didn’t answer, instead looking at Chen Yechu, letting her decide.
Chen Yechu glanced at Yu Zhiyu, whose eyes were full of anticipation, then smiled brightly and nodded at Ning Xiyue: “Of course you can.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhiyu’s expression visibly lit up.
“All right, I’m off then.”
Ning Xiyue waved, stepping quickly outside, giving the newly confirmed couple plenty of space and time to share their feelings.
She dashed toward the vegetable patch.
