TSBIR Chapter 40
by Volare“Why do I have to do a bone marrow test again?”
Shen Xingyang waited outside while Song Yichen stayed by his side, comfortingly patting his head.
“Count the time yourself, how long has it been since you last had one?”
Song Yichen had indulged him for a while, not making him do the test, but this time it couldn’t be avoided.
Actually, he had his own selfish motives. His birthday was only half a month away, and he wanted to see if Shen Xingyang’s body could handle it first.
But Shen Xingyang would be in pain for a long time after the bone marrow test, and he definitely wouldn’t be able to move Shen Xingyang around by then.
This timing was the most suitable, as he would have recovered by then.
Shen Xingyang didn’t say anything and waited with his head down. Not long after, the doctor performing the test came out.
“Shen Xingyang.”
The doctor said, nodding to Song Yichen.
Shen Xingyang glanced at Song Yichen and followed the doctor inside.
Gu Ze’s work was almost finished, so he came to check on them. Seeing Song Yichen waiting outside, he asked him why he didn’t go in.
“Hospital rules can’t be broken.”
Song Yichen replied blandly. Since other patients’ family members couldn’t enter, neither could he. As the hospital director, he couldn’t set a bad example by breaking the rules.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, bro, you’re just too strict with the rules. Our little angel is going to be upset.”
This bone marrow test, with the needle entering the bone marrow cavity to extract bone marrow fluid, was a test that many anemia patients feared, and Shen Xingyang was no exception.
Song Yichen glared at Gu Ze, too lazy to pay attention to him, and quietly waited, hoping Shen Xingyang would come out soon.
Not long after, a nurse helped Shen Xingyang out.
Song Yichen thanked the nurse and helped Shen Xingyang sit on a nearby stool.
“How is it? Can you handle it?”
Song Yichen said, lifting the hem of his shirt to check the needle site. Fortunately, it was only red in a small area, not as bad as last time.
“It’s okay.”
Song Yichen nodded: “Rest for a while and then go for the blood transfusion.”
Shen Xingyang nodded weakly, feeling numbness all over his lower back. The dense pain seemed to spread throughout his body.
The test results this time were good, and he was recovering well. Song Yichen couldn’t believe it, it was even better than he had imagined.
He looked at the results, took some pictures, and sent them to Shen Jinjue as well.
Shen Jinjue had been so worried before, and sending it to him now would probably make him breathe a sigh of relief.
Afterward, Song Yichen admitted Shen Xingyang to the hospital, so he could have a blood transfusion directly after completing all the tests.
As soon as he was admitted to the hospital, Mu Xun came, looking at Shen Xingyang as if he were some rare creature.
“You’re Shen Xingyang?”
Mu Xun had heard this name too many times, from Qi Zhe, and then from Gu Ze. Now he had also become Song Yichen’s partner, what a legendary figure.
What kind of little angel was he that he could win over Song Yichen?
“You are?”
Shen Xingyang tilted his head, looking at the incredibly stunning person in front of him. He was so beautiful, even more beautiful than a woman.
“Hello, my name is Mu Xun, a good friend of Qi Zhe, and also Song Yichen’s student, the director of the psychology department at this hospital.”
Mu Xun smiled and extended his hand. His voice was so nice, so gentle. Could a rough person like Song Yichen understand him?
Shen Xingyang looked at him, not understanding why he was so excited, but hearing that he was a good friend of Qi Zhe, he inexplicably had a good impression of the person in front of him.
“Hello, I’m Shen Xingyang.”
When Mu Xun heard Shen Xingyang was willing to talk to him and was even smiling at him, not treating him like an outsider at all, he sat down on Shen Xingyang’s bed.
“I know you, Gu Ze often mentions you, saying you’re like a little angel. Seeing you today, it’s truly well-deserved.”
Shen Xingyang smiled awkwardly. Was that how Gu Ze described him to others? Where did the little angel come from? He didn’t look like one either.
“No, Gu Ze-ge is overrating me.”
“Not at all, your voice is so gentle, no wonder Teacher Song put so much effort into pursuing you. Speaking of which, how long have you been together?”
Shen Xingyang looked at Mu Xun in confusion. Put so much effort into pursuing him? Not really, he just said those things that day, and they were together in a daze, with no sense of ceremony at all.
Moreover, Song Yichen hadn’t said he was pursuing him before, he just thought Song Yichen was acting on a whim at the time.
“Not long, a little over a month.”
Shen Xingyang thought for a moment, saying very casually. If he remembered correctly, it should be a month!
Mu Xun looked at Shen Xingyang in shock when he heard this. How could it only be a little over a month? Song Yichen had liked Shen Xingyang for at least half a year.
His crush was living in his own home, spending time with him day and night, and it took him so long to win him over.
“Then it seems Teacher Song isn’t very good, taking half a year to catch you.”
Mu Xun joked, feeling like he had discovered some earth-shattering secret. Song Yichen, such a proud and complacent person, actually spent half a year pursuing someone. It was just a pity for that face of his.
“Hmm, half a year?”
Shen Xingyang’s face was full of confusion. What do you mean pursuing for half a year? Half a year ago was when he had just been recognized back into the Shen family. At that time, wasn’t Song Yichen quite disgusted with him?
Mu Xun also had a look of disbelief. Could it be that Song Yichen had endured it for half a year without saying anything, so Shen Xingyang didn’t know his feelings at all at the beginning?
“Yeah, Teacher Song liked you half a year ago. He was still being stubborn and unwilling to admit it, and I’ll secretly tell you something.”
After Mu Xun finished speaking, he looked outside the door, making sure no one was there before getting closer to Shen Xingyang.
“When you just broke up, Teacher Song didn’t sleep all night, and kept discussing with Gu Ze how to pursue you.”
Shen Xingyang couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this: “Is that so? I thought he hated me very much.”
So Song Yichen had liked him so long ago. No wonder Song Yichen asked him when he broke up. After he broke up, Song Yichen didn’t stay in the living room for long before hurrying back to his room. So that was why.
But Song Yichen didn’t tell him, so how would he know if he didn’t say it?
But if it was really during that time, he owed Song Yichen a lot. Regardless of whether he liked Song Yichen or not, if he had said it, he probably wouldn’t have refused.
So that night, Song Yichen deliberately tested him, asking him if he would agree if he pursued him?
At that time, he said he wouldn’t refuse, and Song Yichen seemed quite angry. But at that time, if Song Yichen liked him, why was he so angry?
“Teacher Song is just stubborn. How could such a proud and arrogant person admit it, but his feelings for you are obvious to everyone. Such a workaholic would actually use his work time to make a diet plan for you. It’s obvious he…”
Before he could finish speaking, a hand landed on his shoulder. Mu Xun knew it was Song Yichen without looking.
He didn’t dare to turn his head to look at Song Yichen, and just smiled stiffly: “Teacher… Teacher Song.”
Song Yichen leaned down, approaching Mu Xun: “Mu Xun, so in your eyes, I’m a proud and arrogant person. Seeing you being so diligent every day, I thought you admired me very much, but it was all an act.”
Mu Xun only felt a chill coming from beside him, which was a bit terrifying.
“Teacher Song, how could that be? Wasn’t that just a joke?”
Shen Xingyang looked at the two of them, not saying anything, just secretly smiling, and picking up a peeled tangerine from the side to eat.
“A joke, coming to my lover’s place to joke around, you want to die, don’t you?”
Shen Xingyang’s hand holding the tangerine stopped at his mouth when he heard this, his face slightly red. This was the first time he had heard Song Yichen tell someone else that he was his lover.
“No, no, I was just curious. I suddenly remembered that I have a patient waiting for me in the psychological counseling room, I’ll go first.”
Mu Xun almost fled, running out in a stumbling manner.
Song Yichen laughed and sat on the stool beside him, continuing to pick up the tangerine he hadn’t finished peeling.
