nThe rain came to a stop and the sun appeared once more. Under the radiance of the sun, the water surface glistened and sparkled, looking exceptionally beautiful. With tons of couples frolicking in the waters, it looked to be a particularly joyous scene.

nShi Guang looked at Lu Yanchen and uttered, “Who was that person?”

nLu Yanchen stood really upright. Basking in the sunrays post the rain, his body looked exceptionally tall, like an evergreen tree standing tall in the deep valleys and undisturbed by anything around it. He reversed the question, “She isn’t someone you know?”

nHis expression was no longer as cold as earlier—it was slightly gentler now.

nShi Guang replied, “You’re referring to Qiao Yuwei? That’s the cousin of my cousin. As for the other person, I don’t know him. However, he seems to know you.”

nLu Yanchen replied curtly, “Don’t know him.”

n“Oh, let us go then…to the beach…” As she said that, Shi Guang took a step out. It was only after a few steps that she realized Lu Yanchen had not followed her. Turning around, she walked back toward him. “Let’s go…to the beach!”

nLu Yanchen leaned against a pillar in the west pavilion, looking at her with an extremely passive expression. “When did I ever say that I was going?”

n“Are you sure you’re not going to go take a walk? Since you’re already here, let us go take a walk around the beach then. Baring out feet to step on the sandy shores, things like looking for seashells and whatnot will definitely be really fun…”

nShi Guang was trying to entice him as she looked at him firmly, hoping that he would take that first step out.

nAs for Lu Yanchen, the look from her eyes seemed as though they could draw out his entire soul. He turned his head away. “Not going.”

n“Let’s just go?”

n“Not going.”

n“Since you’re already here, let’s just go?”

nA flash twinkled in Lu Yanchen’s eyes as he looked around at her, asking with a deep intention. “You really wish for me to go that badly?”

nShi Guang nodded her head. “That’s of course! This is a lesson that you must definitely attend. If you want to cure your water vertigo, you definitely have to face the seas.”

nLu Yanchen’s jet black eyes were fixated onto Shi Guang, seeming as though they wanted to peer through her. “You really wish for my water vertigo to be cured that badly?”

nShi Guang walked before him and raised her head firmly, looking at him with a face full of resolve and smiles. “You are my student. It’s a MUST for me to help cure your water vertigo!”

nHis gaze turned even colder as Lu Yanchen let out a prideful, icy chuckle.

n“Alrighty then, let’s go!” Shi Guang was thinking that even if a prideful man such as him wanted to let down his pride, he would have to have some help. So, she decided to help him by pulling his hand.

nSuddenly, Lu Yanchen tugged at her hand instead. Spinning around with a gasp of surprise from her, he pinned her onto the pillar.

nWhen he caught sight of Shi Guang’s eyes widening in surprise, he laughed out gently as he leaned in beside her ear. “Suddenly, I’m starting to regret it.”

nShi Guang was still stunned as Lu Yanchen continued, “I’ve discovered that after all these years, your looks are still those that fit my standards the best, the most suited to my tastes…”

nHis voice was really deep right now, exuding an inexplicable sexiness while he pulled her in by the waist.

nStartled, Shi Guang pushed him away instinctively.

nLu Yanchen did not insist as he loosened his grip as well. “Do you feel all glad listening to such words from me?”

nShi Guang had guessed it—he was intentionally trying to piss her off.

nShe had no other thoughts toward him right now. She merely wanted to teach him how to swim and overcome his water vertigo so that she could return him his favor.

nShe chuckled out, “That’s of course! I’m definitely feeling kinda glad in my heart. After all, the fact that a hunk such as yourself could claim that my looks suit his standards and tastes is evident of my exceptional charm!”

nLu Yanchen’s face darkened. To think that she wouldn’t get angry despite what he said and was just smiling out foolishly the entire time.

n‘Just what is she up to?’
