Shi Guang cast another glance over at the pool–Lu Yanchen was thoroughly enjoying his time swimming. Though, because he wasn’t too adept at it, he was causing huge splashes all over the place.

However, he was splashing with joy.

One could not deny that he was a favored child of the God above, bringing with him looks that were unparalleled and a family background not to be questioned, alongside a disposition that was akin to nothing short of a flower on the tallest peak in the world. And of course, that did not even include his perfectly sturdy body and those long, slender legs of his, along with those beautiful curves… His only shortcoming was his fear of water and inability to swim.

To Shi Guang, there was something a little strange about his posture, so she could not help but chuckle out. Coincidentally, Lu Yanchen came forth from his water adventures and managed to catch sight of that chuckle.

Immediately, Shi Guang’s breathing froze up as she shifted her gaze away slowly. Suddenly, she felt something coming toward her–Lu Yanchen was splashing water at her!

Instinctively, she tried dodging by swerving her body.

And indeed, she had managed to dodge it. However, because her actions were too huge and she wasn’t seated properly, she fell into the waters bum first with a single ‘plop’.

Startled, Shi Guang flung her arms immediately to rise up standing. But, by the time she came forth from the waters, she caught sight of Lu Yanchen smiling at her.

It was a smile just like hers–there was no malice within it, merely a playful mocking.

Shi Guang glared at him once before exiting the pool.

Lu Yanchen came out of the pool as well, wiping himself dry with a towel while saying to her, “We’ll continue again tomorrow.”

That meant that today’s lesson was over.

Shi Guang nodded her head and peered over at him. The man’s lips seemed to be curled up slightly in an indiscernible manner–clearly, he was in a rather joyous mood.

‘All’s well if he’s happy. After all, he’s ‘Daddy’ these days.’

Shi Guang went for a change of clothes. It had been more than an hour now, and her clothes were dried up.

After changing, she checked her phone–there were messages from Huo Zhan and Li Fangfei. They were waiting for her for dinner.

Shi Guang called Li Fangfei as she walked out. “I’ve ended the lesson. I’ll head over now… Huh, fetch me? It’s fine, I’ll grab a ride over and will arrive in a jiffy.”

After hanging on her, Shi Guang looked at Lu Yanchen beside her and pointed toward the door. “I’ll be leaving now.”

Lu Yanchen had heard the conversation clearly as well. He turned around to look at Shi Guang with a really calm expression, his eyes deep and unruffled like still waters in a deep well.

As he retracted that gaze, he curled his hand into a tight fist.

Lu Yanchen was feeling particularly terrible in his heart. It was as though something from the depths of his heart was causing turbulent waves to surge within his chest, causing him to have this feeling of being stuck in the mid-air, unable to neither reach the skies nor touch the ground with his feet. It was a sense of helplessness that was clawing at his heart and lungs.

The moment she ended the lesson, she was in a rush to go meet that man.

What was so good about that man? He really wanted to shake her furiously from the shoulders, to have her wake up and see the clear reality around her so that she wouldn’t be tricked by his sweet nothings.

Upon returning home, Little Goody came running to him. Lu Yanchen held Little Goody up high as the frustration and rage within his mind slowly calmed down. He returned to his study and took out Xiao Bai’s phone. He thought for a long time before sending a message to Shi Guang.

Shi Guang had just arrived at the meeting place with Huo Zhan and Li Fangfei when she received the text from Xiao Bai.
