nGazing back into Shen Yijin’s eyes, Jing Xun couldn’t help but make a bold assumption. Mr was trying to imply that he could send out his photo at will?…..

n

nAlthough Shen Yijin wasn’t a public figure, his name was still well-known.

nPerhaps because he had been keeping a low-profile, no information could be found on the Internet. The media had never disclosed any scandal, and even Mr.’s own Moments 1WeChat Moments are status updates, pictures and videos that users can share with their friends (or a select group of friends) in their Moments feed.were empty!

n

nUnder this kind of awareness, Jing Xun also cooperated with the other party’s low-profile lifestyle. He never thought of actively sending out or introducing Shen Yijin related information to people around him…

n

nYet on the day he was drunk, the senior sisters and senior brothers seemed to have already known what happened between him and Mr.

n

nNevertheless there was still a difference between deliberately exposing it and accidentally being found out.

n……

n

nBut Mr told him to post it, so let’s just post it.

nThere was nothing he couldn’t post.

nHowever, sending a photo without any caption wasn’t quite fitting.

n……

n

nHe couldn’t think of a suitable caption so he didn’t add any.

n

nJing Xun was relentless and ended up posting the photos directly.

n

nThen he quickly exited his Moments and WeChat. He locked his phone screen and never dared to look at it again.

n…..He wasn’t afraid of anything.

nIt’s just that as long as he thought of the photo of him and Mr that would soon be seen by others….

n

nHe did not dare to pay attention to it anymore.

n

nHe couldn’t tell whether it was embarrassment, or some other reasons. It wasn’t discomfort either because Jing Xun couldn’t hold the corners of his lips that had lifted into a smile.

n…Perhaps, this was the side effect of showing off his affection.

n

nIn the end, Jing Xun simply stuffed his phone into his pants pocket, took a sip of ice coke, and stood up.

n

n“Sir, let’s keep going!”

n

nJust like that, they stayed in the zoo for an entire afternoon.

n

nUntil the evening, before they had time to go to the next place, they were called back to eat.

n

nThe weather was hot in summer, but the mountain and forest were sheltered by trees, and the spring water flowing from the top of the mountain, making the temperature on the mountain much lower than the ground level.

n

nWhen the sun went down, the courtyard would be even cooler.

n

nJing Xun and Shen Yijin first went back to their house to take a shower, and then had dinner with Grandpa Shen amidst the sound of running water and the cicadas.

n

nShen Yijin’s workaholic attributes were obviously inherited from his grandfather. Not long after the meal, the two naturally talked about the company’s affairs.

nThey didn’t have any intention to avoid Jing Xun, so it was inconvenient for him to just leave. He had to stay and listen on the sidelines.

nAfter a while, Shen Yijin went back to the house to attend a very important video conference, so instead, Jing Xun accompanied Grandpa Shen to chat, and played a game of Go while they were at it.

n

nJing Xun was good at Go, but he didn’t have many chances to play.

nFirstly, he didn’t have the extra energy to do this before, secondly, it was difficult to meet opponents.

n

nIncluding the last time when Shen Yijin was in a bad mood during the rainstorm, Jing Xun accompanied the other party to play chess, but he paid more attention to his emotional changes and did not put his energy on the chessboard at all.

n

nBut Grandpa Shen’s strength was obviously not bad.

n

nAs soon as both sides just landed around a dozen pieces, Jing Xun saw the difference.

n

nHe involuntarily straightened his back slightly, and played more seriously.

n

nAlthough Grandpa Shen’s brain didn’t turn as fast as his, after all, he had been playing Go all his life and was quite experienced, which made Jing Xun feel that he finally met a matching opponent.

n

nThey played until over eight o’clock in the evening, and the outcomes were mixed. Jing Xun felt that he would disturb the old man’s rest if he stayed longer, so he got up and asked to leave.

n

n“Okay.” Grandpa Shen was obviously having a good time. He said, “Ah Jin is probably not finished yet, I’ll send you back.”

n

nJing Xun hurriedly said that there was no need for such trouble.

n

nTheir courtyards were next to each other. There were street lights outside; the surrounding was ablaze with light and everything could be seen clearly, there was no need to send him off.

n

nBut Grandpa Shen insisted, so Jing Xun no longer declined. Finally the butler who was called “Uncle Quan” by Shen Yijin in the morning and his son sent Jing Xun back to his courtyard.

nWalking on the slabstone road back to the yard, uncle Quan’s son suddenly couldn’t refrain himself from saying: “Mr. Yan, you’re really amazing. Old master used to be a national player and won a prize in Go!”

n

n“……Is that so?”

nAfter hearing this, Jing Xun subconsciously paused, and grabbed his own hair.

n

nHe hadn’t really thought about it when he was playing Go.

n

nHe felt that deliberately giving in when playing a serious game was disrespectful to his opponent. But because basically no one who played chess with him had ever won before, over time, no one was willing to play with Jing Xun, and Jing Xun was also unwilling to play with others.

n

nIt was rare to find an opponent, he would not take the initiative to give in, but he didn’t expect…old Mr. Shen was such a powerful person?

n

nDid he…inadvertently expose something?

n

nIf he was exposed, so be it. There was nothing to hide from Grandpa Shen.

n

nJing Xun did not take this matter to heart, and continued to walk back.

n

nInstead, the young man was criticized and educated by his father because he was talking too much.

n

n“How come you are everywhere?!”

nThe young man was accustomed to being scolded, he hemmed and hawed a little, not taking it to heart at all.

n

nIn contrast, this Mr. Yan suddenly made him feel somewhat profound and inexplicable.

n

nThe young man also liked to play Go. When he was a child, he was personally taught by old man Shen. Just now when the old master and the other party were playing Go, he had been watching from the sidelines.

n

nHe thought this Mr. Yan was extraordinary, in addition to his ability to compete evenly with the master in Go, it was also because of Mr. Yan’s temperament.

n

nThat kind of attitude that was always as calm and peaceful as water…..it couldn’t be imitated unless one had been playing Go for many years.

nThis was the first time he had seen this kind of deposition in a fellow young man.

n……

n

nWhen they reached the entrance of the courtyard, Jing Xun thanked the father and son and said that he had troubled them.

n

nUncle Quan was a little flattered, and quickly said that he did not need to thank him, and the young man took the initiative to open the courtyard door for Jing Xun.

n

nSaying goodbye to them, Jing Xun walked into the yard. The yard was still brightly lit. From a distance, he saw Shen Yijin who was standing in the room talking on the phone.

n

nIt seems that something bad had happened, Shen Yijin’s eyes were still cold and without sadness or joy, but from such a distance, Jing Xun could feel the hostility emanating from the other party.

n……

nOther than that, he had never seen Mr. with such a fierce expression.

nWorried about whether something happened, Jing Xun subconsciously quickened his pace.

nBut he didn’t notice that his shoelace was loose, and he was walking a little eagerly, so an embarrassing thing happened. Jing Xun stepped on the shoelace of his left foot, and he fell backward on the bluestone road.

n

nOriginally, a fall was nothing.

nUnfortunately, his tailbone hit the steps when he just entered the door…

n

nSevere pain came from the tailbone, his head became blank for a moment, cold sweat ran down, Jing Xun suddenly couldn’t stand up.

n

nBut he didn’t cry out in pain either. Compared to crying out in pain, it was obviously more unexpected to be able to fall down while walking. Especially in his field of vision, Shen Yijin had already run out in strides…

n

n“Jing Xun!”

n

nHe called his name. It was clear that the house was still some distance away from the courtyard gate, but Shen Yijin still appeared in front of him like a gust of wind.

n

nHe was so fast that Jing Xun didn’t have the time to overcome the pain and sit up by himself.

nShen Yijin didn’t immediately pick him up either. There was a possibility of injury, so he really couldn’t help him.

nBut Shen Yijin’s approach was even more extreme.

n…He just picked up the phone and called an ambulance.

nJing Xun quickly said: “I’m fine sir, I just fell down…”

n

nAs he said this, when he looked at Shen Yijin, he experienced what is called a tenfold ice ray.

n

nBut the cold and fierce Mr raised his hand at the moment he looked at him, and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

n

nJing Xun said nothing.

nHe just sat there, waiting for Shen Yijin to call someone after he finished making the emergency call. After all this, the other party causally threw the phone aside, then asked him with a serious face if he could move to judge how heavy his injury was.

n

nOriginally, Jing Xun really didn’t feel good.

nBut seeing Mr so nervous, in order not to worry the other party, he obediently answered all questions.

n

nBut it seemed to have eased, and after a while, it was not as painful as before.

n

nJing Xun tried to move, and found that he could move his leg. It didn’t look like it was broken, so he reached out to Shen Yijin, wanting the other party to pull him up.

n

nBut instead of pulling him up, Shen Yijin chose to hug him.

n

nIt was not the previous “hug” that carried him sideways and picked him up, but Mr squatted down in front of him, took his two arms, and helped him to stand up slowly.

n

nSlowly standing up, Jing Xun’s arms naturally rested on Shen Yijin’s shoulders.

n

nShen Yijin held his waist, still asking him nervously, “How is it? Does it hurt?”

n

n“It doesn’t hurt, it really doesn’t hurt.” Jing Xun said immediately.

n…Although there was still a little pain.

n

nBut for him, he had experienced all kinds of pain. This kind of just falling on his butt was nothing at all. At most, it could be considered a small injury.

n

nHowever, Shen Yijin was still wrapped around his waist, not letting go.

n

nJing Xun had to wrap his arms around Mr’s neck, and was let by him to walk in small steps.

n…It seems that this blood circulation made it less painful.

n

nJing Xun wanted to rub a part of his tailbone, but before he could reach out, the hand that was already around his waist rushed in front of him and touched his…

n

n“Uh.”

n

nThere seemed to be something wrong with their current actions.

n

nBut Shen Yijin obviously didn’t feel that something was wrong. He just carefully touched the part where he might be injured, little by little, gently pressing, and then carefully asked him: “Where does it hurt here? here? or here?”

n

n“……”

nThe hoarse and worrying voice recalled in his ears, so Jing Xun couldn’t think much at all. He could only put all his consciousness on the other party’s hand, and answered honestly: “It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt… Uh, It hurts a little bit.”

n

nThis painful place was the part where his tailbone hit the bump behind the steps just now.

n

nHearing Jing Xun said that it hurts, Shen Yijin’s eyes darkened suddenly, and the fingers that stayed at that part became a whole palm… He gently rubbed that place.

n

n“……”

nHe knew Mr was well-intentioned. The movements were also very careful, without any lust. But perhaps, that part was too special.

n

nShen Yijin’s palm was so big that it could cover most of his rear, with just his palm covering there, the feeling had begun to turn strange.

nIt was even more strange when he rubbed up and down!

n

nA more strange feeling other than pain came up. Jing Xun told himself not to think too much.

nMr. was just trying to help him relieve the pain!

n

nBut although Jing Xun thought so, the security guards and staff who were called by Shen Yijin didn’t think so.

n

nShen Yijin was not the guest here, but the boss. They heard from the boss that someone was injured. Although Shen Yijin only called two people to come over, worried that something really happened and no one would give hands, it alarmed all the security guards and staff stationed on the mountain.

n

nIn this kind of “critical moment”, everyone didn’t have time to knock on the door. The gate was directly pushed open, so everyone saw…

n

nMr. Yan put his arms around the boss’s neck, the two people were very close, and the boss’s hand was still on Mr.Yan’s….rear.

n……

nJing Xun: “……”

n

nFacing such an intimating scene, many people consciously bowed their heads.

n

nOf course, this also included Jing Xun himself.

n

nWhat’s worse, he thought that would be the end of it, but in fact that wasn’t the case at all.

n

nLater, he was sent to the hospital.

n

nIt wasn’t a public hospital, but a private one under the Shen family…

n

nIn short, the news that “President Shen sent a teenager with a broken butt to the hospital emergency department in S city at night” somehow spread like wildfire.

n

nThis would have been nothing at all. But who could have imagined that, after being edited and simplified, and adding oil and vinegar2Adding oil and vinegar is a Chinese idiom refers to those who narrate other’s people words or news with exaggeration, usually add the content that wasn’t there before. in the later stage, the false news turned directly into: President Shen took Mrs. Shen, who had a broken butt, to the hospital in S city at night….

n

nCough.

nOf course, this was a later story, let’s not mention it for the time being.

n

nAlso, not to mention, this rumor later had been inexplicably circulated in Shen hospital for many years, and had become a true romantic past that every Shen employee was deeply aware of….

n

nJing Xun originally didn’t want to go to the hospital, because he knew that there was nothing serious. He didn’t have much meat at that place to buffer the fall, so it was only a little unbearable.

nBut Shen Yijin insisted that he had to go to the hospital to take an X-ray scan. This event alarmed Grandpa Shen who lived next door. The old man also insisted that Shen Yijin take him to the hospital, so Jing Xun had to agree.

nAfter he got to the hospital, he simply took an X-ray scan. As Jing Xun thought, there was no big deal.

nThe doctor pointed to a certain part of the film and said: “At present, there are no signs of bone fracture or nerve injury. However, this location is a bit special. I suggest you go back to apply medicine and rest for a few days, stay in bed more, and reduce walking and sitting, and avoid any deterioration in the future.”

n

nJing Xun nodded, indicating that he understood.

nHe was a person who was accustomed to illness, and he had fully grasped the central meaning of the doctor’s words: 90% there was nothing wrong with the place where he got hit, just avoid a very small probability of subsequent accidents, and pay special attention for two days.

nTo round it up, it was nothing at all.

nOn the contrary, Shen Yijin, who usually said nothing, suddenly asked a lot of questions, including what kind of medicine to apply, frequency of application, whether to get a check-up afterwards, and the minimum number of days spent in bed to rest…..

nThe doctor on duty seemed to have seen such an “obtuse” and “unintelligible” family member for the first time, but he knew what his identity was, and he was also intimidated by Shen Yijin’s chilling aura, so he didn’t dare to show the slightest impatience and answered in as much detail as he could.

n

nAfter the examination and getting the medicine, Jing Xun returned to the mountain villa with Shen Yijin.

n

nOriginally, it was not that exaggerated, but the doctor said that he should walk less. Shen Yijin really took it seriously and did not let him walk.

nHe arranged an ambulance to bring him back. Not to mention, from the hospital to the car, and then from the car to the house, president Shen personally held him all the way, other people had no chance to intervene.

n

nAfter finally returning to the room, Shen Yijin let other people return to rest, while Jing Xun was carried by the other party and placed directly on the bed.

n

nJust as he was lying down, there was a sound of plastic bags rubbing beside him.

n

nNow only he and Shen Yijin were left in the room. Jing Xun subconsciously turned his head and saw that the other party had taken out the ointment brought back from the hospital.

nHe asked: “Xiao Xun, can you turn over by yourself?”

nJing Xun said: “…Yes.”

n

n“Okay, then turn around, I’ll apply your medicine.”

n

n“……”

n

nJing Xun wanted to say that he was no longer in pain, in fact, there was no need for medicine at all.

n

nBut seeing Shen Yijin’s deep and dark eyes, connected with the fact Mr hadn’t said much all the way, and he even said less than before…

n

nKnowing that the other party was worried about him, Jing Xun wasn’t a person who couldn’t understand the good intentions of others, so he just turned over obediently.

n

nBut he still had a disagreement with Mr on how to apply the medicine.

n

nShen Yijin said, “Take off your pants.”

n

nHe used a negotiating tone.

n

nDespite this, Jing Xun lay there and didn’t move.

n

nThe part he injured was below the waistline and the part of the tailbone. Actually, he didn’t need to take off his pants… Just pull it down a little bit and apply the ointment ba?

n

nBut Shen Yijin obviously didn’t agree with his idea.

n

n“But Xiao Xun’s face turned white just now.”

n

n“……”

n“It is painful and there’s cold sweat.”

n

n“……”

n

nShen Yijin began to constrict his eyebrows: “It obviously hurts, but Xiao Xun didn’t say anything…”

nJing Xun: “……”

n

nAlthough the other party’s tone was very calm when he said this, the mania filled with him was hard to conceal.

n

nShen Yijin’s expression remained calm.

n

nHe was so calm that there seemed to be no ups and downs in his breathing.

n

nHe just looked at him with more profound eyes, all emotions were compressed and deeply contained in the bottom of his eyes, where the darkness was now like a black hole that could swallow everything.

n

nWithout waiting for Jing Xun’s reaction, Shen Yijin directly gave two options: “Xiao Xun, then you will take it off by yourself… or I’ll take it off for you?”

n

n“……”
