The training hall was totally empty, except for Zhang Shulin and Shi Guang. Under his guidance, the latter had been practicing her flipping continuously.

Her flipping style was fixed with a steadycenter of balance. Not only that, her stance was rather striking as well. However, Zhang Shulin still felt that something was off. Only, he could not point out the exact reason behind that hunch.

Turning around, Shi Guang leaned against the walls with her arm, and came forth from the waters with a splash following a push.

She then looked at Zhang Shulin. “Coach, has there been any improvements from the training?”

Zhang Shulin smiled out. “Improvements are guaranteed. Right now, there is nothing wrong with your technique. However, you must still work on it more. Also, you must take breaks, I’ll let you have the afternoon off…”

“Alright!”

Shi Guang replied gently and continued training while Zhang Shulin stood there analyzing her posture.

When noon came, Huo Zhan, who was going to leave the next day, came looking for Shi Guang. He wanted to meet with her and Li Fangfei for lunch. But, when she walked out of the entrance with Huo Zhan, she caught sight of Lu Yanchen standing beneath the shade of a tree nearby. Upright and straight, he was looking at her and Huo Zhan with an indecipherable gaze.

What was he doing here? Waiting for her? Shi Guang was perplexed—what was he looking for her for?

Lu Yanchen’s face was cold as though a layer of frost was covering his eyes as he asked calmly, “Why are you only coming out now?”

“I’ve just finished training? What are you here for?” Shi Guang was troubled as she looked at him with raised brows. She did not know what he was up to and why he was questioning her with such a tone.

“Check your messages.”

Shi Guang took out her phone and was stunned immediately. No wonder her coach would give her the afternoon off…

Looking at their interactions, Huo Zhan was deeply affected as he felt his heart sinking while he gripped his fist tightly. He remarked unhappily, “Shi Guang, we’ve already arranged for a meal with Fangfei. Are you going to abandon us because it’s the other gender over friendship?”

Lu Yanchen looked at this man whose intentions were laid bare in his eyes, then looked at that Shi Guang who was so apologetic while smiling dumbly and not knowing what to do. Really, that woman was just one ball of worries for him.

Shi Guang trying negotiating in a sorry tone, “Sorry, sorry! Tonight! I’ll treat you and Fangfei to dinner, alright?”

Unable to take this cold ending, Huo Zhan’s face turned dark as he gritted his teeth saying, “Just where are you going?”

The moment she checked her messages, she rejected them immediately. Just who was it or what was it that was so important for her?

Just as Shi Guang was about to reply, Lu Yanchen suddenly walked up with an icy cold expression. Gripping Shi Guang’s wrist in her shocked moment when she was just rooted, he flipped her around to his side before replying frostily, “My…” He then added on, “Bed!”

He was asserting his dominance. If not now, then when?

Huo Zhan was stoned as the bubbling heart of that man was crushed instantly. “…”

Meanwhile, Shi Guang was startled as well. “…”

Her petite face could not help but flush red as she barked out at Lu Yanchen with her embarrassment turning into anger, “W-What are you talking about!”

She then explained to Huo Zhan. “Auntie Lu has invited us for a meal and had texted me earlier on. But, I did not catch it.”

So, it was because of an elder.

Huo Zhan looked at Lu Yanchen for his shamelessness scornfully. However, the latter was totally indifferent towards it, and even remarked coldly again, “Makes no difference.”

Huo Zhan: “…”

This mother*cking guy was scheming for sure!

Shi Guang: “…”

After getting onto the car, her face was still blushing red. Looking at Lu Yanchen who was driving, she complained unhappily, “Can you not talk like that in the future?”
