His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

Shi Guang had been rooted where she was the entire time as the conversation within continued. While it was only a short conversation, the topic was totally related to Lu Yanchen.

The sounds of footsteps drifted to her ears—Zhang Shulin and Boss Lei were done with their conversation. For some unknown reason, Shi Guang’s heart was palpitating really quickly as she swerved around to duck into a corner.

Time passed by the seconds and minutes.

Zhang Shulin had left.

Boss Lei had closed his office door.

However, Shi Guang was still standing where she was in the exact same position.

She had been wondering about how this issue was settled this smoothly despite it being so troublesome at the start. All this while, she had thought that it was because of Zhang Shulin. To think that it was actually Lu Yanchen who was helping her from behind the scenes!

However, even the entire issue of Zhang Shulin turning into her coach was all because of Lu Yanchen as well.

‘Why was he helping me?’

‘We had already broken up, and he was always so cold when we met, treating me like a complete stranger. Since he wanted to make their boundaries so clear, why was he secretly helping me from behind the scenes then?’

At this moment, Shi Guang had a sense of anxiousness she never had before.

Walking alone on the streets, her heart was completely empty while her mind was reeling around like a videotape, bringing up images one after another.

It was in the second half of her second year in high school when there was a transfer student. He was probably someone who had been poisoned by the ‘Young and Dangerous’ series and behaved like a hooligan, a problematic kid who skipped school, played around all day, and was only going around flirting with all the girls.

Shi Guang did not know why either, but somehow, that hooligan had taken a liking to her.

Every day after his classes, he would wait outside her classroom and lean against the windows, looking and whistling at her.

Shi Guang would always ignore him, thinking that he would most probably change a target after a period of time. Because of that, she did not mention about him to Lu Yanchen at all.

Finally, there came one fine day when he had her cornered in the female toilet. Back then, she was so afraid that she broke out into tears. Thankfully, there were other girls in the toilet and he did not dare to try anything funny.

After that incident, the school leader gave him a warning. However, Shi Guang had been thoroughly frightened by that incident, and was even a little afraid of going to school, scared that the hooligan would do something to her.

She had always thought that Lu Yanchen knew nothing about this incident at all.

Finally, the hooligan came before her one day and kowtowed three times, his face all swelled up and beaten as he apologized thrice as well, assuring that he would never ever pester her again.

Back then, Shi Guang was really confused and did not speak for a long time. The hooligan thought that her silence meant that she was unwilling to forgive him, so he nearly broke out into tears while declaring tragically, “Your big brother has already whacked me till this state! Can I still renege on my words?”

‘Big brother?’

One was not permitted to have a boyfriend back in high school. Thus, Shi Guang told everyone that Lu Yanchen was her big brother.

Even though they had not arranged to meet that day, Shi Guang sprinted over to look for Lu Yanchen the moment her classes ended. The moment she saw him, she threw herself over and hugged him tightly.

“Today, someone apologized to me!”

He hugged her waist back while commenting with a grim face and a cold voice, “If you ever meet with something as such again, you must tell me.”

“I’m afraid.”

“What are you afraid of? You have me…”

Her eyes welled up as she sniffed. All of the fear and pressure she felt for the past few days was released at that moment as she bawled out in tears, letting loose every single last bit of emotion in her.

He raised his hand to help wipe her tears away. “With me around, you don’t have to be afraid of anything.”

She broke into a smile amidst her tears as she hugged him really tightly, wishing that they could stay in this position until the end of time.

Later on when he sent her home, he emphasized once more, “No matter what happens in the future, you must always remember to tell me. Are you clear?”

Her heart was feeling super sweet as though she had just eaten honey.

She then pursed her lips and asked, “Are you always this nice to all your girlfriends?”
