Shi Guang had completed all her events in the National Swimming Championships with the best set of results she could have had, and with that, her reputation was boosted so much that the national team had already sent her an invitation.

From the city’s team to the provincial team, and now to the national team, it was every single athlete’s dream. Everyone fought their entire lives for a chance to be on the national team before representing their country internationally.

This was the highest honor an athlete could have.

Naturally, Shi Guang was more than willing to do so. However, she did not rush to make a decision, and wanted to consult Zhang Shulin first.

Without Zhang Shulin, she wouldn’t have been able to get to where she was. It was through his efforts to pick out her small little flaws along the way before supplementing her strengths that she was able to swim to the best of her abilities.

When the competition ended, Shi Guang’s phone was returned to her.

Immediately, she opened it to be greeted with many congratulatory messages as she replied them one after another. Thinking about the scandal regarding Lin Yi’er and Lu Yanchen from before, she turned on her Weibo.

Shi Guang continued to search for Lin Yi’er and received a whole bunch of articles.

Looking at the first few posts, it seemed as though the paparazzi had managed to dig out some intimate photos of Lin Yi’er and her boyfriend. The description was about him resembling some young master while a blurry photo was attached.

Shi Guang clicked on the photo.

It was taken on a dark night outside a bar. The man in the photo was indeed Lu Yanchen. But, how was this intimate at all? The two of them were clearly just standing and seemingly conversing.

To think that they could describe it as such.

However, no one dared to pinpoint the identity of Lu Yanchen, merely gesticulating.

No wonder the reporters would ask her whether Lin Yi’er’s scandal would affect her today—it was because none of them dared to offend Lu Yanchen or even mention his name, much less ask him about it directly!

Scrolling through Weibo, she discovered that it wasn’t exactly the reporters’ fault—Lin Yi’er’s side purposely gave ambiguous answers.

When the reporters asked her about it, her answers were ambiguous and open to interpretation, telling everyone that they were merely friends and that they did not have the relationship everyone might think they were having.

Initially, no one was having those thoughts at all. But after the way her manager replied, the media and netizens went into a frenzy.

Shi Guang scoffed out repeatedly.

Friends? How had she never known that Lu Yanchen knew Lin Yi’er? And also, how did that come about too.

Suddenly, the phone rang—it was him.

Shen Lingshuang had invited grandma and little auntie to their place, and thus, had returned first while he was waiting for her at the carpark.

After Shi Guang ended the call, she slammed her backpack onto the ground.

To think that here she was, painstakingly training for her competition, and yet, he was outside having fun and meeting other girls!

That was a feeling that could not be comfortable to deal with at all.

Bearing all her negative emotions, Shi Guang bid farewell to the coaches and teammates before meeting with him.

This time around, she did not have the same elation and passion when she met him. Instead, she glared at him with watery eyes, looking a little odd and aggrieved, coupled with infuriation.

Lu Yanchen merely had a single glance to tell that there was something off about her. Even though he had his doubts, he did not ask her about it.

Instead, he reached out for the back of his car, retrieving an exquisitely intricate box…
