nThe next time she opened her eyes, Shi Guang found herself lying in the infirmary with Lu Yanchen seated beside her, his face solemn and grim. Struggling to get herself up, she muttered, “What happened to me?”

nMaintaining his unruffled composure, he replied coldly, “You suffered a heatstroke.”

nShi Guang knocked at that somewhat dazed still head of hers. “The Sun isn’t really all that strong today. How could I have gotten a heatstroke?”

n“That’s because you’re a pig who doesn’t even know how to head back when she’s not feeling well.” He replied indifferently. Yet, there was a slight sulking expression that flashed by his face briefly.

nWith that messy head of hair she was sporting right now and her tomato-flushed cheeks, Shi Guang looked over with a slightly aggrieved look and somewhat teary eyes. “But…it’s because you didn’t come out.”

n“That’s why I said that you should not come looking for me anymore in the future.” As he said that, Lu Yanchen stood up.

nShi Guang said no more at that point; her eyes were red and brimming with glistening beads of tears. Even though she wanted to cry, she lowered her head and forced everything back within her.

nThe boy who had stood up did not leave. Instead, he asked nonchalantly, “Crying?”

nShi Guang shook her head stupidly. “No.”

nThe air went stale again in silence. Just as Shi Guang thought that Lu Yanchen was going to continue with that lingering silence, a voice rang out, “I forgot to bring my mobile.”

nWas he trying to explain why he was only out that late?

nBecause he forgot his mobile, he did not see the text message…?

nShi Guang smiled. Raising her head to look at Lu Yanchen, her eyes were sparkling brighter than the stars up in the skies.

nTheir gazes froze for a full two seconds before he snapped his head away. When he looked at Shi Guang once more, it was with those eyes that were darker than night as he declared, “I don’t need love…Don’t come and look for me ever again.”

nShi Guang was stunned.

nLooking at the back view of his departing figure, she yelled out behind him, “There is no one in this world who doesn’t need love!”

nShe behaved just as she always did.

nA few days before Lu Yanchen’s birthday, she took the effort to specially learn how to bake cookies and bought an exquisite little gift box.

nOn his birthday, she handed it to him with a chirpy face. “Happy birthday, Lu Yanchen!”

nLu Yanchen did not take it as he glared at her coldly, wanting to shrug it off.

nAs Shi Guang tried to hold him back, his expression turned frostier. “I’ve already told you to not come looking for me ever again.”

n“Accept this then, and I’ll…temporarily not look for you!” Shi Guang’s smile did not wash off as she continued bugging him. “You’re going for your entrance exam soon. Even though there’s no need for you to worry about being unable to enter a good university, I should not let myself bother you in the slightest bit nevertheless.”

nLu Yanchen hesitated for a moment before taking over her gift. He gazed at Shi Guang deeply, his expression filled with some strangeness and reluctance in them.

nNoticing how his gaze was aimed at the trash bin nearby, Shi Guang was afraid that those cookies she had painstakingly baked would be thrown into the bin as she hurriedly added on, “If you don’t eat the cookies that I bake you, you’re going to be my boyfriend!”

nLu Yanchen furrowed his brows.

nShi Guang pointed at the bin. “If you were to throw it away, that means that you will not get to eat it. That also means that you’re agreeing to be my boyfriend, right?”

nWith that, Lu Yanchen was at a dilemma as his lips pursed into a straight line. Whether or not he threw it away, he would be put in a spot.

nShi Guang cast a brilliant smile over at him as her eyes curved into a pure and breathtaking smile before she waved out. “Goodbye! I’ll come look for you again after your entrance exams…!”

nThereafter, Shi Guang did not head over to look for Lu Yanchen anymore. Even after his entrance exams were over, she did not appear.

nAt that time, Shi Guang’s final exams were approaching, and she was watched over by her aunt daily to revise. After her exams, she could not make it still. That was because she was specially admitted for sports and was rounded up by her teacher for a training session.

nBy the time the training camp ended, she hitched a ride home on his bike from a fellow male student. As they passed by the alley where her house was at, she caught sight of Lu Yanchen dressed in a set of sports attire…
