nA high-class tea set was brought to the training hall and placed on a small rattan table. Boss Lei stood up immediately to brew some tea. Once it was done, he propped up the first cup with both hands and placed it in front of Lu Yanchen carefully.

nTaking it up and blowing on it twice, Lu Yanchen commented casually, “This tea, not bad.”

nBoss Lei chuckled out right away, “It’s said that this tea comes from an ancient tree in the Jiulongke, and has been passed down with a history of over 300 years…”

nLu Yanchen’s gaze nonchalantly landed onto He Xinnuo, who was in the water, as he stroked his teacup with his fingers gently. “Boss Lei, is this the best result of your club’s 1,500m category?”

nHis gaze had suddenly turned cold, causing Boss Lei to break into a shiver.

nOther than the fact that Lu Yanchen’s surname was Lu, there was another reason why Boss Lei was so afraid of him.

nLu Yanchen’s mother’s surname was Shen. In recent years, the Shen Family had been exceptionally supportive of sporting events. They had even founded a Sports Foundation, and many of the swimming halls and stadiums out there belonged to the Shen Family.

nTaking the Shen Family’s Water Cube, for example, that was one of the properties under the Shen Family; hence the reason why Lu Yanchen was the prize presenter for the College Games.

nOther than being wary of the Lu Family, Boss Lei wanted to work together with the Shen Family. However, the prerequisite for working together with the Shen Family, even connections aside, was results…

nImmediately, he had Wu Xing go urge He Xinnuo to go even faster.

nWu Xing was clear of He Xinnuo’s capabilities. The fact that she was able to swim after that single 1,500m was already quite decent a feat. Wanting her to maintain her speed still was something that was definitely impossible.

nLooking at how Wu Xing was frowning and displaying worry on his face, not saying anything despite agreeing to it, Boss Lei was so pissed that he walked right over to the side of the pool personally and shouted out, “Xinnuo! Even though this is not a competition, you have to swim as though you’re going through a competition right now! Hurry up! Hurry, hurry!”

nHe Xinnuo was already super tuckered out by now. The delight and emotions in her heart had long been mowed away.

nRight now, the only thing she wanted was for this to end. Speeding up and forcing herself, she found a reason for herself to persevere on—she had to conquer Lu Yanchen!

nGritting her teeth and continuing on, this was naturally the only chance she had for her to get out of this situation she was in…

nBy nature, swimming was a sport that was on the heavier side of intensiveness, consuming an extremely large amount of energy from one’s body.

nSwimming 1,500m was equivalent to running 6,000m—similar to going through a mini marathon.

nBy the time He Xinnuo was done with her 1,500m, she no longer had any energy left to even budge. Her vision was starting to darken as she felt giddiness running through her head, her limbs protesting in limpness.

nShe thought that she had swum rather decently. However, nothing happened as she had expected.

nLu Yanchen merely commented indifferently, “Didn’t you say that you were going to show me the best results? That round was so slow! Isn’t that just a…warm up?”

nEven though he was merely sitting there, he exuded an aura that trampled down on the entire world.

nHe Xinnuo felt her entire body jerk as she froze where she was.

nWarm up? Did she still have to swim?

nShe looked over at Lu Yanchen who was stroking his teacup with his long fingers while tasting it classily; he was just like an ice tower!

nWu Xing hurried up and explained, “This is already the second run now, and the toll is definitely real on her body. Even if she were to swim again, she would definitely not be able to produce her best results.”

nLu Yanchen did not even bother to look at Wu Xing, choosing to glare at Boss Lei instead while asking icily, “Is that so?”

n“Of course not!!” Boss Lei replied immediately before ordering He Xinnuo, “One more try! Show us your true strength!”

nWho said that it was Shi Guang who had offended Lu Yanchen? This was clearly the case of He Xinnuo offending him without even knowing it herself!

nShe couldn’t have thought that this Young Master of the Lu Family was a good person just because he was good-looking, right? Who in the world did not know that even though this fourth Young Master Lu was someone so good looking on the outside, he was a devil down to his core? He was ruthless, cold, and utterly merciless!

nOf all people, why did this He Xinnuo have to go offend the fourth Young Master Lu?

nShi Guang gulped, “…”

nEven though she knew what Lu Yanchen was up to, she did not know why he would do this.
