nShi Guang then chuckled out again, “Alright, the two of us should stop singing praises about the other here. If others were to hear it, wouldn’t they laugh their jaws wide open? I know that you were just teasing me just now. If you’re still not going to follow me to the beach and continue being so awkward, I might really end up thinking that you’ve got some lingering feelings for me, alright?”

nWhen Lu Yanchen heard that, his entire face turned really terrible as he bit down on his lips without saying anything more, merely staring at Shi Guang just like that.

nHis gaze and expression were both really contemplative.

nAs dark as the night skies, one could not make out any emotions from his eyes at all.

nHis expression was equally cold and indifferent as well—there was nothing to distinguish his innermost emotions.

nHowever, Shi Guang seemed to have been able to make out something from his look, something not really pleasant. He seemed rather angry, as though he could choke her to death at any moment now.

nGulp!

nShi Guang swallowed her saliva—she seemed to have said something wrong. But, he was the one who started on this topic…

nShe closed the conversation, trying to bring the topic onto the beach once more.

n“Have you realized that the surroundings of this Beach Lei are particularly nice? Not only are the waters clear, look over into the distance! The mountains are equally green and luscious! Coupled with the blue skies, this is really a wonderful view! Let’s take a walk around! You’ll definitely find your mood getting better…”

n“Do you remember that you had once said that…” Lu Yanchen cut her words with a deep gaze, “…when a woman is rambling on nonstop, it means that she’s hoping for you to kiss her.”

nThose words had Shi Guang feeling as though there was a gigantic rock pressing down against her heart.

nIt was so crushing that she felt really uncomfortable.

n“I-I…I…I-I…” She stuttered for a good, long time before raising her volume to finish up her previous words.

n“T-That’s not what I’m meaning right now. I’m your coach, so it’s only natural for me to talk more. It’s because I want to teach you! You should get worried instead if I’m not talking at all! If you really don’t want to head out to walk, we can just sit down on the beach and return after we’r…”

nLu Yanchen looked at her lazily and started walking without waiting for her to finish her sentence.

nWhen he brushed by her, Shi Guang froze for a moment.

n‘He’s agreeing to it!’

nShe then chased after him hurriedly.

nLu Yanchen did not walk to the seaside, heading for a restaurant by the beach instead.

nBecause this wasn’t a meal hour, there weren’t that many people in the restaurant. He sat down at a place facing the sea; he could look at the sea just by turning his head around.

nEven though this wasn’t the type of close contact with the sea that Shi Guang had wished for, it was still a rather close distance.

nShi Guang thought for a moment.

n‘Since this is the first time, I’ll just let him sit here then. After all, one step at a time.’

nSitting down opposite to him, Shi Guang looked at Lu Yanchen pick up the menu. “It’s a good idea for you to be sitting here too! Drinking something while looking at the sea might help divert your attention.”

nLu Yanchen did not reply, merely pointing out at the menu to the attendant.

nBecause there weren’t many customers, the dishes were served really quickly. It didn’t take long before the table was spread with all sorts of seafood delicacies, causing Shi Guang’s eyes to sparkle really brightly.

nAll of those crabs and mini lobsters were all red and huge!

nThose oysters with their covered shells!

nThose scallops with their oozing juices!

nAnd those conches! Those clams…!

nThe mere look was scrumptious enough for one to die of cravings!

nEven though her saliva wasn’t dripping by the side of her lips, Shi Guang’s stomach was growling out.

nShe looked over at Lu Yanchen—he had already picked up his chopsticks and started on the food without any intention of inviting her to join in.

nIf he had invited her to eat, she should reject it in theory. And now that he wasn’t inviting her, all the more she shouldn’t take the initiative to eat.

nBut, with this crazy spread, could he even finish it?

nWith nothing to eat, merely looking at it was causing her to feel hungry. She felt as though she might as well leave.

nWith that, Shi Guang stood up. “You’ll eat first then. I’m heading to the beach for a walk.”

nLu Yanchen did not even bother raising his head as he remarked nonchalantly, “If you want to leave, sure! Foot the bill first!”
