His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

Lu Yanchen looked on at Shi Guang’s slender yet lonely back view. He did not call out to her, merely following behind her silently.

Shi Guang continued walking up ahead all the way till she was quite a distance from the venue. It was only then that she sat down beside a parterre by the roadside, looking ahead silently and motionlessly just like a statue.

There were people walking all over the place. From time to time, some of them would cast a weird glance over at her. However, she took in nothing as she was immersed completely in her own world at this point.

Looking at Shi Guang who was in this state, Lu Yanchen only had a terrible feeling in his heart which he could not describe at all. He liked that suaveness she had, the sort of boldness and cheeriness she had toward life. But, he did not like her looking so alone, helpless, and in pain…

His eyes lingered onto a small shop nearby. Biting on his lower lip, he strode over to it…

Shi Guang was really angry; however, there was nowhere she could vent her frustration at all.

She was really upset and distraught!

She knew that her coach was really angry. However, not only did he not scold her, he had even consoled her!

It was precisely that which had her feeling even more miserable. There was a feeling of indignance in her heart which she could not spill out. While the skies were grey, her heart was heavy… so heavy that she could barely breathe.

A slightly cold, distant, yet magnetically charming voice came from above her head.

“You’re going to continue worrying just because of a mere preliminary heat?”

Shi Guang, who was filled with all sorts of mixed emotions right now, jerked her head up and caught sight of a handsome and tall man, exuding forth nothing but class. His dark eyes were locked onto her like black diamonds that seemed as though they could draw the soul out of one’s body.

Shi Guang’s eyes brimmed with a misty shroud as she looked at him.

What did he say? Worrying over a mere preliminary heat? Was that supposed to be a consolation?

Those misty eyes of hers did not try to contain her surprise at all. But more than that, there was a sense of helplessness that was hidden beneath—it was fragility akin to a child being injured. Lu Yanchen could tell of her emotions, and more than anything else, it just felt as though something was thumping against his own heart violently.

He bit down on his lip coldly once more before sitting down beside her.

She shifted to her side, slightly away from him. “What do you even know?’

“You don’t care about the Flying Fish Cup at all. Your true goal was to get that spot to get into the finals. But, that spot isn’t something that can only be gotten from the Flying Fish Cup. The preliminary heats are the correct channel for you to get into the finals. Isn’t it just another preliminary heat then? Could you be afraid of that?”

His face was still impassionate as ever, as was his tone. However, it was rare for him to talk so much about anything.

Shi Guang shook her head without a single bit of hesitation. “I’m not afraid!”

Lu Yanchen curled his lips. “Then what is there to worry about? Just take it as yet another round of training then!”

He was truly not a person who could liven the atmosphere or change anyone’s mood. Even after hearing that, Shi Guang did not feel better at all. However, her face did look slightly better as she turned her head slightly to the right.

Looking at how she wasn’t looking as miserable as earlier on, Lu Yanchen took out a lollipop from his pocket. He unwrapped it with his long, slender fingers before saying to Shi Guang, “Open your mouth!”

Instinctively, Shi Guang turned her head around and asked, “Wh—”

Before she could even finish her word, he stuffed the lollipop in her mouth.

First came astonishment as she lowered her gaze at that lollipop in her mouth before looking over at Lu Yanchen. Next, the strawberry flavor of the lollipop filled her mouth and seeped into her heart just like honey. It seemed as though that inerasably terrible feeling in her heart was slowly being replaced by this honey…
