Chapter 77: I’m just acting cute with you.

After they went to greet Grandpa Shen and came out of the study, Shen Yijin didn’t take Jing Xun to rest inside his room.

Instead, he was led through a long corridor, took a turn, and arrived at another corridor.

The Shen family manor occupied a huge area, and the structure inside was also complicated. Although nothing could be seen from the outside, the internal structure gave off an old castle vibe.

They walked along the divided corridor to the end, and came to a huge outdoor balcony.

The whole balcony was in an arched globe shape, filled with various potted plants with dense vegetation. It looked like a tropical garden at first glance.

In addition, there were reclining chairs and umbrellas for vacation, hidden in the depths of the vegetation.

What’s even more amazing was that when you walked through those greenery to sit on the reclining chair, you could see the whole neat and tidy lawn, musical fountain and rose garden outside.

Under his line of sight was a thriving rose bush with red and green colors. In the far distance, the shadows of trees were swaying, the tall and straight trees protected the garden like a solid guard. A little further away, there were endless blue sky and white clouds.

From this perspective, it seemed that the Shen family was not located in the city, but in some beautiful countryside.

People who had been walking through the steel and iron trees in the city for a long time would suddenly feel a sense of refreshment and joy when they saw this scenery.

Even Jing Xun couldn’t help but inhale the fresh air.

But to his surprise, Shen Yijin brought him here, but he didn’t ask him to see the scenery alone.

On the balcony covered with greenery, Jing Xun did not lie down on the recliner, but was trapped between the arms of Mr. Villain.

Shen Yijin said to him: “What Xiao Xun said just now in front of aunt Yang… was very interesting.”

Jing Xun, who was hugged, immediately smiled, “Am I very clever?”

“En.” Shen Yijin also smiled.

The smile on Jing Xun’s face was like a bright and splendid spring, even more gorgeous than the rose bushes outside.

He explained a little bit: “I don’t like them, although it’s merely a verbal attack, but why! Is she bullying us because we’re too lazy to talk back?”

“I know.”

Hugging the young man tightly, Shen Yijin couldn’t help but kiss his forehead again, “You can say whatever you want, what you said is alway right.”

“……En.”

Being hugged by Shen Yijin like this, Jing Xun was no longer bothered about the anger just now.

He would only uncontrollably blush…..because of sir’s nice voice.

Regarding the fact that he always blushed in front of Shen Yijin at every turn, Jing Xun did an experiment to find out the truth.

In addition to some heartfelt embarrassment due to the ongoing intimate behavior, part of the reason for the blushing was because sir was too provocative.

Just like now.

He half-leaned in Shen Yijin’s arms, looked at his smiling eyebrows, listened to his voice at close range, and felt his obviously indulgent tone…

It would be strange if he didn’t feel anything!

Jing Xun subconsciously wiggled his hot ears.

That being said, this was really not his problem…!

“But…” Speaking of this, Jing Xun suddenly remembered: “That Mrs. Yang still has scum…Shen Bohan, she might try to mess with your company.”

He roughly knew that, in the original book, the original owner was sent to serve as a commercial spy, but Jing Xun guessed that the scum gong and others should not be so simple, and only sent the original owner alone.

They should have sent a lot of spies and contacted a lot of people in the company, but Yiwei was just like an immovable monolith. In the end, the scum gong sent in the original owner who had a pretty face.

Even though he wouldn’t steal any information right now, Jing Xun couldn’t help but feel worried: “It’s necessary to guard against those people.”

“En.”

By the look of it, it seemed that Shen Yijin had found something unusual a long time ago.

He said: “They have been trying to buy people around me, and they have also successfully bought some, including the old employees within the Shen Group who have been following grandpa through hard times.”

When he said this, Shen Yijin’s tone didn’t sound like there were any particular ups and downs.

It was simply an elaboration.

He appeared to be open-minded toward this betrayal, and understood this as a competition for interests in the business field.

Sir was clearly very sensible, there was no personal emotion mixed in it, and there was no blackening.

Jing Xun was relieved but also felt some heartache.

——No one would feel good being betrayed and calculated against, not to mention that sir’s enemies had always been his blood relatives.

Thinking of this, Jing Xun couldn’t help turning around and hugging him.

With his slender chin resting on the other person’s shoulder, Jing Xun said, “It’s fine as long as you know it in your heart sir.”

His voice was gentle, and he was lying close to Shen Yijin’s ears while saying this, the volume was not too big or too small, it sounded very soft.

Jing Xun said seriously and frankly: “Anyway, no matter what, I’ll be with you.”

“Jing Xun.”

The person whose neck was held stiffened for a moment, and then his arms gradually tightened, circling the narrow waist of the young man without daring to use too much force.

How he wished he could embed the other person in his bones and blood, but he was afraid that it would hurt him.

In the end, Shen Yijin could only hug the young man with a force that was not light nor heavy.

The hug was very long.

Today was a cloudy day, but now the sky was clear, the temperature was not too high, and the sunshine was just right.

Shen Yijin looked at the rose garden outside, and suddenly said, “The family house was not like this before.”

Jing Xun: “Huh?”

He didn’t understand why sir suddenly said this, but Jing Xun still showed moderate curiosity and asked, “What does it look like?”

“The old house really looked like an old castle.”

“……”

The embracing posture made Jing Xun unable to see Shen Yijin’s face.

He felt a little weird in his heart, because sir had never mentioned the past even in front of the psychologist.

But now the other party actually took the initiative to talk about it, how could Jing Xun not feel excited.

He didn’t dare to move, and continued asking: “The castle… and then?”

“Then that house was demolished by my grandfather, when I was very young.”

“…It was demolished and rebuilt?”

“En.”

Shen Yijin’s voice sounded without sorrow or joy, as if he was simply explaining his memory.

Jing Xun thought he would go on, but he didn’t. Like many times in the past, sir still talked very little.

His lips twitched, Jing Xun tried to ask again: “…Then why demolished it?”

But this time Shen Yijin didn’t answer.

He just hugged him.

Meticulously, the youth’s slender and warm body was held tightly.

After a long time.

“Let’s go down for a walk?” Shen Yijin suddenly proposed, and his voice sounded the same as usual: “There are still many places that I haven’t taken you to before.”

Jing Xun also did not pursue the question, he just nodded resolutely: “Ok, good.”

The garden of the Shen family was indeed very large. In addition to the outdoor swimming pool, it even had its own basketball court and tennis court.

There was nothing to do during the short period before meal time, so Jing Xun simply played basketball with Shen Yijin.

He also dreamt of playing basketball when he was a child. After he transmigrated, he often watched people play on the university campus. However, Jing Xun had never touched a ball before. Although he was very familiar with the rules, he would inevitably be timid and dared not take the initiative to join.

But in front of sir….

Shen Yijin knew who he was and knew everything about him, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

Because of his height, Shen Yijin was selected into the basketball team several times during his school years. He had been playing seriously for several years, and teaching Jing Xun to play could not be easier.

On the open field, Shen Yijin first told him about shooting and exerting strength, and then it was time for Jing Xun to practice with him.

Jing Xun was at least not short in height, and after mastering the wrist power technique, he successfully made a three-pointer after a little practice with two hands.

The basketball hit the backboard and made a bang, then turned around the basket a few times, and finally succeeded in scoring a goal.

Needless to say, this sense of accomplishment…Jing Xun felt pretty cool.

He ran over cheerfully and hugged Shen Yijin, then took the ball that the other party had picked up for him, and tried to shoot another under the backboard.

This one was also scored smoothly. Jing Xun turned his head to look at Shen Yijin happily, his smile was so big that the corner of his lips almost reached his ears. His implication: Look, sir, I’m too good!

Standing under the backboard and responsible for picking up the ball for him, Shen Yijin gave him a thumbs up, and then he said: “Let’s try playing against each other?”

Jing Xun: “Good!”

Jingxun unreservedly responded, however, shooting on level ground was easy, playing against other people was not.

Not to mention that he was barely able to take away the ball from Shen Yijin. Even if he did, he would be easily stopped when he rushed ahead with the ball or took a shot.

Jing Xun felt that his precise calculation ability was no longer useful, mainly because he couldn’t calculate the other party’s strategy, and his body couldn’t respond in time.

… After only a few laps on the field, he was exhausted and panting. In the end, he could only hang on Shen Yijin’s waist to breathe.

“It’s too hard to play, I…can’t…” Jing Xun couldn’t speak properly.

The seemingly simple movement was much more difficult than pure mental work like chess!

Shen Yijin threw the ball away, turned around and half-supported him, letting the youth lean on him to catch his breath.

“Xiao Xun is already very good.”

Jing Xun expressed his doubt: “…really?”

“En.” Shen Yijin gave affirmation with a hidden smile in his eyes, “Very highly savvy.”

“Um.” Jing Xun groaned. He suddenly remembered the last time he was determined to exercise his body, and couldn’t help saying: “Sir, in the future, take me with you when you work out. I must exercise well!”

“Okay.” Shen Yijin didn’t have any comments as usual.

Outside the basketball court, Yang Nianjiao’s car passed by on the driveway.

The person sitting in the car naturally saw the two people hugging each other on the basketball court.

Qi Zeming who was driving could not help but sighed: “Tsk, Young master Jin and Young master Jingxun really love each other dearly. If only I knew he was such a powerful person, I should have let Er Shao hold him…”

Before he finished speaking, he was glared at by Yang Nianjiao in the back seat.

Yan Jingxun’s excellence had broken through her perception, which made Yang Nianjiao, who suddenly learned the news, feel even more down.

…She thought that Da Shao Ye was confused by beauty and got married casually with someone without a family background.

She didn’t expect this to happen…!

In the past two years, the market had been gradually shuffling, and many large family businesses had collapsed overnight.

Old industries had gradually become saturated and declining, and the most promising emerging industry was high-tech.

Whoever took the lead in grasping more talented human resources would win.

Yang Nianjiao didn’t realize this in her early years. After Shen Yijin returned home and took the lead to create Yiwei Technology, this finally gave her a wake up call.

Then the more she understood the market, the more she felt that the future of the technology field was promising, but unfortunately it was too late by the time she realized it.

——Yiwei Technology had become the largest domestic company, but the small company she raised funds from outside had not officially started yet.

Originally she wanted to overtake Yiwei on the AI chip, but unexpectedly the person Shen Yijin had found was someone she couldn’t poach over!

Looking at the two people on the basketball court who were hugging, still sticking to each other and talking, Yang Nianjiao only felt more resentment for her son at this time.

Such important information, why didn’t Shen Bohan tell her!

Compared to finding a marriage partner with a family background, Yan Jingxun, a talented student who could determine the trend of emerging industries, was better…

Talent was more important than anything this year!

“Hurry up and go to the company for a meeting! Don’t you see how urgent the matter is, you are still in the mood to joke!”

He played basketball for a while. When he was free in the afternoon, Jing Xun was accompanied by Shen Yijin to play tennis.

He had played tennis before…with a game console.

It looked simple when playing games, and the real practical operation was not difficult. After the match was over, Jing Xun felt that his arm was so sore that he couldn’t lift it up at all. He was shaking while holding a glass of water.

In addition, they also walked around the Shen family’s mansion today, inside and outside. Jing Xun’s two legs were really sore.

At this moment, he could only sprawled on the bed and let Shen Yijin rub his arms, shoulders and thighs.

Sir’s hands were a little strong, but Jing Xun knew that he had lactic acid build up, and needed some massage to heal quickly.

Despite the pain, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Who let him refuse when Shen Yijin had previously suggested taking a rest.

He had to grimace from time to time while enduring, plus occasionally stirring his legs to relieve the pain.

After Jing Xun rolled on the bed for a while, he was picked up by Shen Yijin and carried into the bathroom.

“A hot bath will be much better.”

Jing Xun: “Ok, wuwuwu.”

The water in the bathtub was almost ready.

Shen Yijin put him in the bathroom and went out because the phone rang, it was a business phone call.

Even during weekends, sir couldn’t get away from work completely. Jing Xun was already used to this, so he took off his clothes and stepped into the bathtub.

They were staying in the main house tonight. The bathtub in the sir’s room was different from the jacuzzi at home, it was a simple old-fashioned rectangular bathtub. It was not big, but fortunately was deep enough to the shoulders when sitting in it.

After soaking in the water, he felt much better under the influence of buoyancy.

Jing Xun leisurely leaned against the wall of the bathtub, looking up at the mist condensing on the ceiling.

He didn’t know if it was due to the change of environment, but at night, Jing Xun rarely got used to it here.

He remembered what Shen Yijin had told him about the house during the day, and couldn’t help blinking in a daze.

Dr. Li once said that the main problem with sir was that he never talked about his past.

After struggling in the long mental torture for nearly two decades, Shen Yijin had changed countless psychiatrists.

But because most of the early psychotherapists were not authoritative, in addition to having been treated by countless hands, Shen Yijin was almost more professional than the doctor who handled him in the later period.

Perhaps knowing that mere psychotherapy couldn’t save him, he refused to analyze his problems in front of other people a long time ago, and did not even want it to be mentioned again.

He accepted a life of relying on mediation alone to stabilize his emotions.

He was either lacking emotions, or spent a sleepless night in manic depression. Shen Yijin had gotten used to it.

He gave up the treatment and chose not to talk anymore.

So all the secrets were buried deep in his heart along with his emotions.

It had been a long time, not to mention outsiders couldn’t touch it, perhaps even Shen Yijin himself couldn’t convince himself to think about it.

…So what did sir experience in the past?

Jing Xun exhaled heavily in the warm water.

Shen Yijin didn’t mention it by himself, nor did he allow outsiders to mention it, so not only Doctor Li didn’t know it, even Jing Xun didn’t know it.

He did not dare to ask, nor did he dare to inquire about it from his family.

He feared that it would stimulate Shen Yijin.

In fact, Dr. Li didn’t recommend him to touch sir’s past so easily.

Of course, if one tries to recall the past often, it may help in recovery.

Sir’s sudden mention of this mansion’s past today had sparked hope for Jing Xun.

But today they made a full circle around the mansion, and it seemed that sir had no special feelings or affection for this rebuilt mansion.

So what should he do?

Perhaps due to exhaustion, Jing Xun who was leaning there began to wander away.

He thought for a moment that he shouldn’t be too anxious, but taking things slow. After a while, he thought that sir was already very good now, but he still had to take the medicine, he shouldn’t take it all the time, it wasn’t good to take too much…

Thinking and thinking, Jing Xun couldn’t sit still again.

He crawled out of the bathtub, wrapped a bathrobe casually and ran out of the bathroom.

Shen Yijin was still standing in front of the window making a call. Hearing the sound, he looked back at Jing Xun.

But before the tall figure could be turned around, his waist was wrapped by the youth.

Shen Yijin paused for a while, and then raised his hand to touch the young man’s dripping wet hair. Seeing that the young man seemed to have nothing particularly urgent, he kept talking on the phone while taking the person back to the bathroom, then wiping his hair with a towel.

Wiping with one hand for a while, Shen Yijin finally gave a few instructions to the supervisor on the side of the phone, and then hung up the call.

“What’s wrong?”

After he finished talking on the phone, Shen Yijin tossed it aside, and began to wipe the young man’s hair with both hands.

“Why did you come out?”

“I just want to hug you.” Jing Xun said.

Even though he was tired just now, his eyes were still round and bright at the moment.

He felt that no conversation was more important than companionship and amusement: “I’m just acting cute with you for no reason, sir.”

“……”

Shen Yijin didn’t seem to have expected this kind of answer, it appeared visible to the naked eye that he was stunned for a moment.

He then pulled the youth to sit down… the kind of posture where he sat on the sofa and the young man sat on his lap.

The water droplets on Jing Xun’s legs wetted Shen Yijin’s trousers, leaving a water stain on it.

Later, Jing Xun was so tired that he couldn’t move.

He even fell asleep on the way to take another bath like a good-for-nothing.

The bed here was not as big as the bed at home.

In the middle of the night, the sleeping youth subconsciously rolled to the side, and was fetched back by a long and slender arm.

The young man in his sleep was lying on his side, unconsciously adjusted his posture twice, and finally raised one leg and rested it a little on the calf of the pillow-side person1枕边人 [zhěn biān rén]: The person beside the pillow means husband or wife.. Then he was satisfied and stopped moving.

But soon, the leg was gently lifted up by the other person and finally changed to the posture of pressing and half-riding on that person’s thigh.

Bamboozled?: It was Sir all along!!!!! So sneaky!!!! >///<
