TSBIR Chapter 37
by VolareShen Xingyang went to negotiate a contract today but unexpectedly saw Yin Yan.
Yin Yan was the brand spokesperson for the other company and shouldn’t have been there. Presumably, he used other means to get there.
But Shen Xingyang didn’t care too much, he just hoped it wouldn’t affect his cooperation.
Shen Xingyang had arranged to meet the other party at a tennis court. Shen Xingyang had done some research beforehand and knew that this General Manager Yan liked to play tennis, so he figured meeting there would provide more talking points.
“President Shen.”
Shen Xingyang walked over and extended his hand, “President Yan actually arrived earlier than me, making it seem like I’ve been remiss.”
General Manager Yan heard the humble tone and laughed heartily.
“How could that be?”
“President Shen, would you like to play a set?”
Shen Xingyang nodded, taking the tennis racket from Xiao Qi’s hand.
“Of course, but my tennis skills are average, so I hope President Yan can go easy on me.”
“President Shen is too modest.”
After exchanging pleasantries, the two began to play.
Shen Xingyang didn’t use even half of his ability at first, but General Manager Yan was already struggling. It seemed that General Manager Yan wasn’t the tennis expert he was rumored to be.
Probably all of General Manager Yan’s tennis partners were business associates who deliberately let him win.
At first, Shen Xingyang could keep up with General Manager Yan, but later he started to struggle and lost several balls.
After one set, General Manager Yan had indeed won.
“President Yan is indeed as rumored, a tennis expert. My skills are inferior.”
Shen Xingyang handed the tennis racket back to General Manager Yan and went to rest on the sofa with him.
“President Shen is also very good. If we were really serious, I might not have been able to beat you.”
“President Yan is too humble.”
General Manager Yan was very happy to have won the tennis match, and the smile on his face never faded.
Yin Yan, watching from the side, saw at a glance that Shen Xingyang was letting General Manager Yan win.
Watching Shen Xingyang chat with others with such ease and grace, he suddenly thought of the scene when Shen Xingyang first entered the company and was ostracized.
He had watched Shen Xingyang get to where he was today.
“President Yan, I still don’t know how to play tennis. President Shen seems to play pretty well, can you teach me?”
Yin Yan looked at Shen Xingyang and suddenly said.
As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Xingyang’s expression changed, but it quickly returned to normal.
“That’s right, I hope President Shen won’t mind! Yin Yan learns things very quickly.”
Shen Xingyang put down the towel, got up, and looked at Yin Yan.
“How could I mind?”
Shen Xingyang said, going to get a racket for Yin Yan and heading to the court.
Yin Yan casually grabbed a racket and followed.
“Yin Yan, what exactly do you want to do?”
Shen Xingyang adjusted Yin Yan’s posture, leaned in close, and asked in a low voice.
How could Yin Yan not know how to play tennis? He took tennis as his physical education elective in college. Although he couldn’t be said to be an expert, he was already quite good for most people.
“I just want to be closer to you. Are you with Song Yichen?”
“Yes, I like him very much. Not the kind of like you used to talk about, but the kind of like where I want to spend the rest of my life with him.”
Shen Xingyang’s eyes sparkled when he thought of Song Yichen.
Yin Yan felt extremely uncomfortable looking at Shen Xingyang at this moment. He had been with Shen Xingyang for so many years, but Shen Xingyang had only ever relied on him and never really liked him.
If he really didn’t have a choice, he wouldn’t have deceived Shen Xingyang.
In fact, he had a feeling the first time he saw Song Yichen that Song Yichen’s gaze towards Shen Xingyang was definitely not innocent.
But Song Yichen was unwilling to admit it. He was initially afraid that Shen Xingyang would fall in love with Song Yichen, so he deliberately schemed against Song Yichen, but just saying a few words couldn’t affect their relationship at all.
Sure enough, Shen Xingyang got together with Song Yichen not long after breaking up with him, which was already within his expectations.
He was very afraid of losing Shen Xingyang, so he had always restricted Shen Xingyang’s social circle, not allowing him to interact with outsiders. This was also why Shen Xingyang was in his twenties and still didn’t understand relationships.
Shen Xingyang adjusted Yin Yan’s correct posture before taking a few steps back.
“Okay, you can try serving.”
Shen Xingyang knew very well that Yin Yan could play tennis, but in front of General Manager Yan, he had to pretend that he didn’t know anything and seriously teach Yin Yan.
Yin Yan’s serve was very skewed and didn’t even cross the net. Shen Xingyang frowned, was this person trying to latch onto him?
Although he knew Yin Yan’s purpose, he couldn’t show it and continued to approach Yin Yan to correct his serving action.
Shen Xingyang had told Song Yichen in advance before going to negotiate the contract that he would be home late today.
Song Yichen then said that he would pick him up after work. Shen Xingyang didn’t refuse and sent him the location.
After work, Song Yichen bought a small cake and came to the tennis hall.
Led by a staff member, he came to the tennis hall where Shen Xingyang and the others were.
He happened to see Shen Xingyang and Yin Yan standing very close. Shen Xingyang would occasionally step forward to help Yin Yan correct his movements, and their hands would always touch.
Yin Yan also deliberately moved closer to Shen Xingyang, and the two chatted from time to time, not knowing what they were talking about.
Song Yichen found a seat, sat down next to it, and quietly watched the people on the tennis court, suppressing the emotions in his heart and not going up to disturb them.
Not long after, the two came off the tennis court together and walked to a man’s side, sitting down and chatting for a few words before the man left with Yin Yan.
Shen Xingyang turned and walked to Song Yichen, sitting down beside him.
“I thought you would be angry and come up to question me.”
Shen Xingyang observed Song Yichen’s expression, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Song Yichen smiled and took Shen Xingyang’s hand, “Angry? I’m very angry, so how do you plan to appease me?”
Song Yichen was very jealous and wanted to pull Yin Yan away, but he also knew that Shen Xingyang valued this cooperation and he couldn’t ruin it.
Shen Xingyang was working very hard, and he also had enough trust in Shen Xingyang. His anger was only directed at Yin Yan’s lingering presence, but he had never doubted Shen Xingyang.
When Shen Xingyang first saw Song Yichen walk in, he hesitated whether to explain to Song Yichen first, or whether to stay further away from Yin Yan.
But he knew that if he put down his work to find Song Yichen, then all his previous efforts would have been in vain.
If he saw Song Yichen and then distanced himself from Yin Yan, it would seem even more suspicious. He didn’t want to make Song Yichen angry, but he never thought of hiding anything from Song Yichen.
“Boyfriend, don’t be angry, I’ll let you kiss me as much as you want when we get back.”
Shen Xingyang put his arms around Song Yichen’s neck, leaned close to his ear, and whispered.
Song Yichen was so teased that he couldn’t find north. He pulled Shen Xingyang into his arms, gently bit Shen Xingyang’s lip, and quickly released him.
“You’re not allowed to meet with Yin Yan except for work-related matters.”
Shen Xingyang laughed, touching his slightly itchy lips, “I thought you really weren’t angry.”
How much jealousy did Song Yichen have to bite him like that?
“How could that be? Your boyfriend is about to die of anger.”
Song Yichen said, taking Shen Xingyang home. Shen Xingyang was flirting with others all day long, and he had to mark Shen Xingyang.
He wanted to let Yin Yan know that the current Shen Xingyang was his, and not to think about someone else’s boyfriend all day long.
Although he also forgot that he was the one who had been thinking about Yin Yan’s boyfriend before.
After returning home, Song Yichen couldn’t wait until after dinner. As soon as he got home, he dragged Shen Xingyang to his room, hugging him and kissing almost his entire body.
Shen Xingyang felt that Song Yichen’s possessiveness was terribly strong at the moment, and kept clamoring to go eat, wanting Song Yichen to let him go first.
As a result, Song Yichen said nice things, but still couldn’t bear to let him go, and only when he saw that Shen Xingyang’s body was covered in his marks did he contentedly hug him downstairs for dinner.
Looking at the extremely childish Song Yichen, Shen Xingyang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and couldn’t do anything about Song Yichen. He could only indulge his boyfriend.
