Chapter 70: Clear Things Up + Getting Certificate
“Actually I…I’m not Yan Jingxun.”
There was a moment of silence after Jing Xun spoke.
Shen Yijin turned back, facing him, Jing Xun raised his head to meet the other party’s eyes.
He plucked up the courage and said, “My name is Jing Xun…I am not a person in the same world as you, I crossed over later.”
“Xiao Xun…” This time, Shen Yijin showed a rare look of surprise.
“In fact, you have long suspected me, right?” Jing Xun leaned his back against the door, simply shifted his body weight, half leaning there: “You have investigated me in detail and communicated with my mother. You should have found out long ago that I’m not Yan Jingxun.”
Shen Yijin said: “I didn’t doubt you. Xiao Xun…”
Jing Xun shook his head at him, indicating that it was okay.
He knew that what exposed himself most was his strength.
People who worked with him, such as Professor Huo, seniors, and colleagues in the company, were a group of people who didn’t know Yan Jingxun’s past.
Other people, like Tang Jingyuan and Yang Yi, and even the scum gong, were people who didn’t understand the current him.
Perhaps Tang Jing Yuan, who indirectly learned about his current achievements in certain areas from other sources, would not be suspicious because the original owner once studied well.
But that’s just because the water was too deep in the professional field he was doing now, and other people couldn’t have an in-depth understanding of what he was capable of.
Shen Yijin, who got along with him day and night, knew it.
And after being together for a long time, many things could no longer be prevaricated as love of reading and retentive memory.
Although sir had not seen the original owner, a little comparison could still reveal the clues.
Jing Xun knew that the more outstanding he was in the company, the more suspicious sir would be.
Before, he had considered whether to confess to Shen Yijin. But after such a long time, the other party didn’t even ask, and not even inquired again how he mastered those esoteric contents.
He didn’t say anything.
Leaning halfway on the door, Jing Xun subconsciously scratched the door with his nails.
It was not that he was nervous, he just didn’t know what to say.
It’s strange to suddenly tell someone that they all live in a book, isn’t it?
Especially since this book world was so real, and everyone had their own ideas and abilities.
Just like now, even sir was surprised by the explosive content of what he said.
——The distance between the two people was very close, only two steps away.
So Jing Xun could clearly feel the stagnation of the other party’s breath, as well as the stiffness of his limbs.
Fortunately, Shen Yijin was Shen Yijin after all, and his mental quality was fairly strong.
He stood there. Although his body was stiff and the expression on his face that had never been discerned became more blank, he still asked a question.
Hesitantly, incredulously, resistant and fearful, Shen Yijin said with difficulty: “The first time you saw me, it was…”
Halfway through the question, he suddenly changed his tone and asked bluntly: “The person I slept with was you, right? Xiao Xun.”
Jing Xun: “……”
All right, he knew that sir usually spoke less so his speech was very straightforward. As a superior, he must clearly convey his meaning in every sentence…
But the first question he asked was surprisingly this…
Is that right!
The sudden blush that rose up made Jing Xun not know what to do, and he replied awkwardly, “Of course.”
He spoke somewhat crudely: “Of course it’s me! Otherwise, why should I agree to get married! It’s mainly because I’ve been with you! At the beginning it wasn’t only because I felt responsible, but also because I felt suitable…”
Jing Xun didn’t get to finish his words because he was suddenly swept into an embrace before his body could react.
One second he was leaning against the door panel, the next second his back suddenly fell empty and was instead encircled by strong arms. Jing Xun heard Shen Yijin say, “That’s good.”
Jing Xun: “?”
Shen Yijin, whose body had just been relieved from his stiffness, still had a very low and hoarse voice: “That’s fine.”
“……”
Then, Shen Yijin asked him again: “When did Xiao Xun cross over?”
“It was a few minutes before I accidentally entered your room that night.” Jing Xun gave a brief explanation and also briefly described the original video of jumping from a building, including the identity of the original owner, this was a world in a book, etc. They were all briefly described to Shen Yijin.
In conclusion: “So I have never seen the scum… I haven’t never met Er shao at all before that.”
“En.” Shen Yijin said, “I see.”
Jing Xun: “En-en.”
After a long time, Shen Yijin didn’t speak.
Jing Xun felt that sir needed time to digest this, so he didn’t bother him. He just hugged him for a long time, and at the same time he let out a sigh of relief.
When he first agreed to marry, according to his present view, it was really a bit rash.
——If he had been healthy, had been in contact with society, and had adapted to the lives of ordinary people, perhaps he would consider a lot before agreeing, and then maybe he wouldn’t agree.
Even though Jing Xun felt no regrets now.
But once in a while, he sometimes felt that a marriage full of secrets would seem very impure.
For instance, when someone in the company’s laboratory asked him a question, if Shen Yijin was also present, he would unconsciously worry about whether the direct answer would cause sir’s doubt, etc. The same situation always happens very often.
Although this didn’t cause him too much trouble, at most, there was occasionally a feeling of such deep estrangement. The incompleteness and discomfort still disturb and made him feel perplexed.
But it’s better now that everything was clear and there were no secrets.
Jing Xun felt more than a little relaxed.
In fact, he himself found it very strange. Normally, he should have always hid his strength, but he didn’t know when he started to… gradually became defenseless in front of Shen Yijin.
After subordinates asked him questions, he would wonder if he’d be exposed. But every time, he would still choose to expose his nature and answer directly without hesitation.
It seemed that he had always trusted Shen Yijin.
Since the time that he hadn’t finished the school project, he subconsciously felt that Shen Yijin could be trusted.
Even if he knew he was not Yan Jingxun, he would not leave him, betray him, or look at him with strange eyes.
Jing Xun admitted that he was making a bet. And now, all he needed to do was to wait for sir to slowly digest what he had just said.
When the time was almost over, he was about to be strangled to the point of suffocating by the gradually tightening arms that were holding him. Jing Xun solemnly asked him: “So, sir…..how do you feel about it?”
Shen Yijin said: “It feels amazing.”
Listening to his voice, sir had returned to normal, that is, his voice had a very nice texture and a very brisk tone.
Shen Yijin said: “What Xiao Xun has experienced is perhaps the five-dimensional crossing into the parallel universe.”
Jing Xun: “…That is not something I have considered.”
Jing Xun seriously shared the results of his thoughts: “From the current existing physics, it is possible to cross the five-dimensional universe, but a parallel universe is impossible. So my situation should be more like… In two days, why don’t I show you some novels with a transmigration theme? You should read them first.”
Shen Yijin: “…..”
Jing Xun said, “Okay.”
On such a serious topic as transmigrating into a book, they couldn’t explain it now, and maybe they wouldn’t get an explanation until the day when humans could really break the speed of light. With this kind of problem, the current Jing Xun was also helpless.
He just seriously analyzed it for Shen Yijin: “No matter what, the current situation is that the original Yan Jingxun can’t be found, and I can’t go back either. At the moment, all I can do is just live on with this identity, so sir, can you accept that?”
“Xiao Xun, I said it a long time ago.” As if he had already figured out the answer, Shen Yijin replied very smoothly and naturally: “No matter what, you are mine. From the first time I saw you.”
Jing Xun: “……”
Naturally resting his head on sir’s shoulders, Jing Xun blinked, and all the conversations he had with Shen Yijin poured out of his mind. It only took 0.1 second before he remembered when the other party said…… something similar.
The last and only time sir said this was in a private hospital when he had just finished talking to Ms. Lou.
Think about it now, the reason why Shen Yijin suddenly said so at that time, perhaps he was sure he had a problem.
But why didn’t he care too much at the time?
Because what Shen Yijin said was: “No matter what, you are all mine.”
There’s nothing at all about from the first time I saw you or anything like that!
Isn’t this the fault of cherishing words like gold?
Combined with the situation where he had just finished talking with his mother alone at that time, it was strange that Jing Xun could guess that he was “exposed”!
Jing Xun: “…So at that time, sir had already determined that I had a problem?”
Shen Yijin said, “I just feel a little strange.”
Seeing Jing Xun looking at him, Shen Yijin started to explain: “Your mother said something about ‘you’ in the past, and it doesn’t feel very similar to Xiao Xun now.”
In fact, there were many strange things, such as why the clever Xiao Xun’s past life was so difficult—as long as he just made a small program and obtained the online auction anonymously, he would not have been bullied by the Yan family father and son in the past.
Similar to these, if you think about it a little bit, you can find anomalies.
“Sir….Why did you never ask me?” Jing Xun was puzzled.
Wasn’t it normal to feel unusual and then ask about it?
What’s more, they were about to become partners!
He didn’t notice it without mentioning, but once said Jing Xun felt even more wrong: “Sir, aren’t you afraid that when we get married, I’ll sell you?”
“Well, sell if you want.” Shen Yijin’s body still had a hint of alcohol, but his voice was clear, he was obviously not very drunk.
Or simply sober up.
Jing Xun’s face was once again gently cupped.
Looking at Shen Yijin’s clear and sane eyes, he heard the other party seriously say: “Because the result would be the same whether I asked or not.”
Jing Xun’s gaze dodged a little: “What, what do you mean?”
“I wouldn’t have let go anyway.” He said.
Jing Xun: “……”
In the end, after drinking, Shen Yijin’s spoke a little bit more than usual.
Shen Yijin said: “Because I like Xiao Xun so much, even if something was wrong, I don’t want to let go.”
Jing Xun: “!”
Jing Xun’s cheeks began to redden rapidly to the extent visible to the naked eye.
He wanted to look away from sir, but he couldn’t move, his head was completely held in place by the other party’s slender fingers.
In addition to that, sir kissed him affectionately on the lips.
Being smoked by the blazing wine, Jing Xun immediately felt that he was thoroughly cooked.
But even so, Shen Yijin still whispered in his ear persistently: “When I think of the warm and lovely Xiao Xun accompanying me like this, I’m very happy.”
He cared about his past, but would not allow it to affect their future.
As long as Jing Xun was still the same Jing Xun in his eyes, nothing else mattered.
He would try his best to keep him.
This includes restraining his jealousy, curiosity, and…the crazy idea of keeping this person tightly around him, possessing him, and having him all to himself all the time.
The long slender fingers caressed the young man’s cheek, he was tempted to clutch him firmly into his palm, so no one could see him again.
But in the end, as usual, not only was the hand not clenched, but the five fingers were stretched out, and the fingertips trembled slightly, carefully tracing the outline of the young man’s handsome facial features.
——Afraid of getting too close.
Afraid of breaking it accidentally.
How could he ask for more?
Finally, Shen Yijin slowly deepened the kiss he had just given.
But it was just a kiss.
Perhap they had been upstairs for too long, the housekeeper suddenly knocked on the door and said that the old man asked them to go downstairs.
Later, Shen Yijin behaved very normal, as if he was the deep and calm overlord again.
Jing Xun, who was following him all the way, was still a little dazed.
It was… he thought when his real identity was exposed, the two of them should have…greater ups and downs, or more things to lament about?
But the truth was that Shen Yijin had instantly accepted his explanation and his current setting. He didn’t seem to have the slightest trace of grievance.
He just held his hand the whole time.
There was a little more smile on his face.
The guests also, therefore, got a glimpse of the rare expression on his face. The whole banquet went smoothly, and Grandpa Shen was also very delighted…
After the banquet ended, the time was already late.
Jing Xun and Shen Yijin didn’t go back, instead they stayed in the villa, that is, Shen Yijin’s room.
The moon was as cold as water. The two people who had already taken a bath and changed into their home clothes were lying on the big bed.
With Shen Yijin’s height, the two-meter bed was not enough for him to sleep. The bed in this bedroom was obviously not as wide as their home.
So when the light was off, the two people lying side by side in the dark naturally got closer together without knowing who touched whose hand first.
The two hands clenched together naturally.
In the darkness, Shen Yijin asked, “So what did Xiao Xun do before?”
“Huh?” It turned out that he was interested in him and what happened before he transmigrated.
He couldn’t help turning sideways, looking at Shen Yijin in the pitch black: “Sir wants to hear?”
Shen Yijin also turned sideways, stretched out his long arms and naturally wrapped around him. He said, “I want to hear.”
Jing Xun said, “Before… I was still doing research.”
His story was actually pretty boring.
Rather than doing research, it was fighting the disease…
“Xiao Xun was only twenty years old?” In the darkness, Shen Yijin’s voice was always so mellow and full of texture.
He paused briefly and wrapped his big hands around him a little tighter: “Always sick?”
“…Should it be said that I’m constantly improving my mood and continuously cultivating immortality1I think he was just joking to lighten the atmosphere??”
As he said, Jing Xun automatically raised one leg and put it on Shen Yijin’s leg.
He had a problem, that is, he always wanted to ride something when he was asleep, so he showed another flaw.
But fortunately, during this time, sir was also used to it.
Shen Yijin also raised his hand to touch that leg.
Jing Xun yawned: “I was born with cardiopulmonary insufficiency. I heard that it can be cured at the time of birth, but it costs a lot of money. Then…”
Then he was thrown into the trash can, but miraculously survived.
“Xiao Xun…”
The arms around him tightened, Jing Xun was completely clasped in his arms, and Shen Yijin didn’t speak any more.
The silent comfort made Jing Xun feel better than ever. In fact, he thought about it a long time ago. In the past, there were many people comforting him in the orphanage. Later, his teachers and seniors often accompanied him. Jing Xun felt that he was not lacking love.
The more he experienced it, the more he felt that life was fair.
He also got a lot in return.
He subconsciously hooked Shen Yijin’s collar, playing with a button that served as a decoration on his neckline.
Jing Xun said, “Sir knows everything about me, but what about you? I don’t know anything yet.”
Shen Yijin smiled above his head: “Didn’t Xiao Xun say that he crossed into a book? There’s nothing about me in the book?”
Jing Xun: “…I haven’t actually read that book much.”
The one who read the book was senior Pei.
Jing Xun deliberately skipped this question, mainly in case Shen Yijin asked him what story it was…Surely, he couldn’t tell him that this was a crazy dog blood novel, and he was the protagonist in the book right! With the scum gong as a pair on top of that…..!
No way, then wouldn’t sir sit down and drink ten more glasses of champagne…? !
Jing Xun subconsciously stretched out his arm to hook Shen Yijin’s back.
In addition to the half-legged posture, he almost hung himself on Shen Yijin’s body.
Anyway, even until death, he wouldn’t admit that he knew much about the story.
Although he really didn’t know the whole plot.
Jing Xun said selectively: “I only know that sir will be very good in the future… as long as you don’t do anything illegal.”
“Anything illegal?” Shen Yijin’s voice sounded with a heavy trace of doubt, obviously didn’t understand how he could violate the law and discipline.
But in the end he still didn’t ask anything.
The two people casually talked about the past.
They made small talk endlessly.
The posture of almost leaning against sir’s arms was too comfortable, and the other party’s voice was full of magnetism like an invincible perfect lullaby.
Jing Xun was tired from the day, and fell asleep not long after.
In the darkness sounded the youth’s very shallow and light breathing.
Shen Yijin held the youth motionlessly.
Until he did not know whether one or two hours had passed.
The young man who never maintained a single sleeping position rolled away from his arms to the other side of the bed.
Shen Yijin half propped up his body and sat up, gently covering the sleeping youth with the quilt.
The next day was another extremely normal, ordinary working day.
Jing Xun slept late yesterday and naturally failed to wake up.
He was dug up from the bed by Shen Yijin early in the morning.
“What… get a certificate?”
He sat up, somewhat aslant and sleepy. He didn’t react to what the other party was saying at first.
When the real reaction came, Jing Xun jumped up directly from the bed.
“……”
Shen Yijin seemed to have said they were going to get the certificate after the engagement.
Although there was nothing wrong with it, this “just go” was a bit too enthusiastic, wasn’t it?!
Jing Xun quickly washed up, and had breakfast with grandpa Shen downstairs, before being dragged to the Civil Affairs Bureau by Shen Yijin.
The testimony was faster than he thought.
Because he asked for the registered permanent residence from Ms. Luo before, and even the photo was readily available, so even the time in line was counted, it only took five minutes in total.
The clerk who handled their business smiled and handed them two documents.
She couldn’t help but boast: “The picture is so handsome…you guys are a true match!”
Then Jing Xun realized that he actually got married.
Nothing had changed much after the marriage.
They returned to the company to continue working even after obtaining the certificate.
——Yesterday they left early, so president Shen had a lot of things to deal with today, and Jing Xun was also very busy. The two had barely seen each other all day.
Jing Xun was so busy that he forgot they just got the certificate this morning.
But after he had received it, his consciousness always inadvertently dug out the contents of the little red book to strengthen his memory. Therefore, all day, when processing data, Jing Xun always had an inexplicable feeling of sudden excitement and sweetness.
This felt too weird.
Weird enough to scream out loud…but not uncomfortable.
So Jing Xun also let it go and did not bother.
The daily life with Shen Yijin was still the same…After finishing all the work in the evening, sir took him to a restaurant they both liked for dinner, and then returned home. Shen Yijin continued to have a video conference, and Jing Xun looked for a book to read on his own.
However, when he wandered in the sea of books for half a circle, and delightfully planned to change another book, Shen Yijin suddenly stopped him.
“Xiao Xun.”
Jing Xun, who came to the study to change books, paused, “I interrupted your meeting?”
“No, the meeting is over.” With that, he snapped shut the notebook in front of him and his tall figure stood up from behind his desk.
“Let’s take a bath.” Shen Yijin said.
Jing Xun: “…Sir, are you sleepy?”
Looking at the quartz clock on the wall, Jing Xun wanted to say that it was only ten o’clock.
Usually sir was busy until about eleven o’clock before washing up and going to bed.
If the busy schedule was over early, then they would play games together for a while, or do something else.
For the first time, Shen Yijin urged him to sleep at ten o’clock.
But earlier this morning he had noticed that sir’s eyes were a little redder than usual and looked very much like he hadn’t slept well last night.
Jing Xun also expressed his understanding, he nodded: “Okay, then.”
Soon after washing himself and changing into his pajamas, Jing Xun plopped down on the bed with a full body of water vapor. He wiggled his calf casually and continued to read the book he had placed in the bedroom.
At the same time, Shen Yijin also went in for a bath.
The lights in the room were very bright, glowing with warm orange light. Jing Xun didn’t pay much attention to the time, only thinking that Shen Yijin came out very soon.
Then he was bitten.
At first it was just as usual. After that, Jing Xun suddenly felt wrong again.
…Something seemed to have touched him.
It was not quite right.
He blinked, then lay there blankly, not daring to move.
Shen Yijin nibbled on his neck behind him.
“Xiao Xun.”
The intoxicating and hoarse voice with undisguised desire, wrapped heavily, eroding him.
Shen Yijin asked him: “Can I?”
The author has something to say:
Jing Xun: ?? What’s going on?? Isn’t sir can’t [Beep——]do[Beep——]it?…
