“T-T-This…!” They had not much sponsorship to begin with, so for them to lose one more just like that…!

Head Coach Li felt that his head was about to explode as he looked toward Shi Guang subconsciously—she knew she had to give him face for this.

She tugged at Lu Yanchen’s shirt. When he looked at her, his gaze inevitably softened. However, his lips were still tightly pursed.

Shi Guang pondered for a moment before saying with a smile, “There will always be squabbles where people are present. The same goes for caliber—there are bad ones like that person from earlier on, but there are also elite geniuses like me!”

With that, she strut her chest proudly.

Head Coach Li chimed in immediately, “That’s right, that’s right! Shi Guang is a super talent of our team. Not only is she gifted, she’s hardworking as well, and will always clench through every bit of training no matter how tough it gets! Her burning passion and desire to bring glory to our province and great nation is something that we should promote out to the world…!”

That bunch of politically correct nonsense made Shi Guang nearly fall asleep listening to it. In any case, she wouldn’t add on much to it anymore—she’d just strike a nice balance.

Whether or not he wanted to continue with the sponsorship was a decision that Lu Yanchen would decide eventually. In any case, her results were all that she needed to prove herself, and there was also Zhang Shulin backing her up. Whether or not Lu Yanchen was there sponsoring the team would not affect the way she was treated.

Lu Yanchen’s face was calm as he spoke lazily, “Since we’ve almost come to an agreement and the contract is settled roughly, it wouldn’t seem that nice to cancel it just like that.”

“That’s right, yes!” Head Coach Li replied with a smile.

“We’ll see then.” Lu Yanchen did not leave him with a definite answer and merely left with Shi Guang afterward.

Head Coach Li’s face was bitter—it was clear that this matter with Liu Yanli was far from done. She would definitely receive a lawyer’s letter from him!

…

When Lu Yanchen came out with Shi Guang, Lin Qiqi and Gao Yang had yet to leave. Instantly, Lin Qiqi nudged at Gao Yang with her elbow as the two of them stood up straight, looking a little unnerved.

Shi Guang introduced them to Lu Yanchen, “This is Qiqi, you’ve met her before… This is Senior Gao Yang.”

Gao Yang scratched his head embarrassedly. “Erm, if we were to go according to Coach Zhang’s arrangement, I should be a junior.”

“I’m a junior!” Lin Qiqi chuckled out as well.

“Erm, let’s go for a meal together?” Shi Guang felt a little awkward—they were friends and Lin Qiqi had taken great care of her previously as well, yet she had lied to the latter. Hence, Shi Guang thought of having Lu Yanchen treat them all to a meal for it.

Gao Yang: “Really? You guys wouldn’t mind us joining?”

Shi Guang shook her head. “Of course not!”

Lin Qiqi kicked Gao Yang in the foot before looking at Shi Guang. “It’s alright, we’ve already arranged to go for a mini hotpot.”

Gao Yang’s face was blank. “Have we?”

Lin Qiqi’s face flushed with embarrassment once more as she glared at Gao Yang fiercely before pulling him away. They didn’t walk far before Lin Qiqi stopped and turned back and looked at Shi Guang sheepishly. “Erm, erm… should I stay out tonight?”

She suddenly had a feeling that the single person dorm was prepared for Shi Guang by Lu Yanchen so that they could have a date every now and then or something! And yet, she had daftly gone to crash at Shi Guang’s place, causing the couple to have to separate!

Instantly, Shi Guang understood Lin Qiqi’s meaning. Her face could not help but flush as she shook her head. “No need, no need!”

Lu Yanchen said nothing. However, the look on his face as he gazed at her was laced with danger…
