Shen Zhiyin and Xu Chaozhang, two rival colleagues from their university days, had become household names in the industry. However, few people knew that they were a married couple, with only a handful of acquaintances aware of their relationship.

Shen Zhiyin was a hot-headed and competitive man, always eager to prove himself. He had an insatiable appetite for sourness and loved to possess things that didn''t belong to him. Xu Chaozhang, on the other hand, was a self-disciplined and fearless woman who dominated her opponents in any game she played.

The two were known to have a friendly rivalry between them, with each trying to outdo the other in their respective fields. However, beneath their surface-level acquaintanceship lay a deeper bond that few people understood.

As they sat across from each other at the conference table, Shen Zhiyin couldn''t help but feel a sense of unease. Xu Chaozhang''s calm demeanor only added to his growing frustration. He knew that she was the better one in every aspect, and it made him want to prove himself all the more.

"Let''s get this over with," he said gruffly, trying to sound confident. "I''m not going to let you win easily."

Xu Chaozhang smiled sweetly, her eyes glinting with amusement. "Oh, I''m shaking in my boots," she replied, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

The two of them began to play their game, each trying to outmaneuver the other. The tension between them was palpable, and it wasn''t just because of their competitive nature. There was a deeper connection between them that went beyond mere rivalry.

As they played, Shen Zhiyin couldn''t help but notice the way Xu Chaozhang''s eyes sparkled when she was excited. He also remembered the way she smiled at him during their university days, and how it made his heart skip a beat.
