Chapter 48

Outside the library, Mo Jin's face was filled with an aghast expression as she looked at Shi Guang . "Do you know what you were doing?!"

Shi Guang puffed her cheeks . "I like him!"

Turning a shade darker in her face, Mo Jin lectured her, "You're a high school student right now, and your priority should be your studies . The entrance exams are really important . "

Shi Guang wanted to refute initially . But, when she caught sight of the solemn expression of her cousin, she could only reply softly, "Oh!"

However, she did not pay heed to her cousin's advice . She was here to stay in the provincial capital for two days, and on the second day, she went to wait for Lu Yanchen right outside Righteous Morals High School .

After a long time, she had managed to wait him out . Looking at Lu Yanchen, her charming brows seemed as though they were about to fly off her forehead .

As for Lu Yanchen, his eyes turned cold the moment he caught sight of her as he turned around to walk away straight . Unaffected in the slightest bit, Shi Guang maintained her cheery demeanor and chased up after him .

He walked really fast with huge strides; Shi Guang needed to break into a slight run before she could even catch up to him . He came to a sudden stop as Shi Guang found herself nearly flying into her body .

She looked at him with somewhat teary eyes . "Couldn't you walk slower?"

"Don't follow me . " He looked at her coldly as he spoke with a frosty tone . After he was done with that, he wanted to leave . Little did he expect that someone would be tugging at his shirt…

Shi Guang's face was flushed red . Clearly, she was embarrassed to the max . Yet, she hardened her forehead and asked with a pitiful look, "You…Can you give me your number? I won't follow you anymore if you give me your number…"

"What do you want my number for?" He asked as he gazed at her with those abyssally deep eyes once more .

"To chase you . " Shi Guang replied .

"Truth or Dare again!" He scoffed coldly .

"It's not Truth or Dare . It wasn't the previous time around, neither is it this time around . I really do like you . " Shi Guang said with a serious face .

The entire place fell silent .

Lu Yanchen's confused gaze lingered on her for a moment before it flashed coldly and he replied indifferently, "But toward you, I don't even have the slightest interest!"

"I know . But, we can try getting along here and there, chatting a little here and there! Who knows, you might find some from there?" Shi Guang replied bravely . She knew that even her ears were flushed red right now—she had never expected herself to have such courage .

This time around, Lu Yanchen did not bother about her anymore . Tugging his shirt back, he turned around to leave .

Shi Guang did not give chase either . It did not cross her mind that she would be able to get Lu Yanchen's number in a single attempt .

Thereafter, whenever she was free, she could come over to the provincial capital to look for her cousin . But of course, it was all for Lu Yanchen . Anyway, he wasn't bothered with her at all . Often, he would even hide intentionally and not show up when he caught sight of her waiting to see him .

Despite that, he still gave his number to Shi Guang ultimately .

She would often send him text messages, which he would never ever reply .

That remained the case until the Chinese New Year . Sending him a Happy New Year text, Shi Guang had not expected to get a reply as per usual .

However, Lu Yanchen replied with four words .

'Happy Chinese New Year . '

Hugging her phone and hopping up and down happily, that joy lasted Shi Guang for a full three days and nights .

When her cousin resumed school, Shi Guang volunteered to send her off—she wanted to look for Lu Yanchen .

Each time she sent him a text telling him she was here to look for him, he would always turn up . Although, he would just be as cold as ever as he left her with a single sentence 'You've seen me now' each time before turning around to return to school .

Shi Guang could not help but feel that the way he behaved was particularly cute .

Spring left and summer came as the weather turned hotter by the days .

That day, Shi Guang continued to wait outside Righteous Morals High School after visiting her cousin to wait for Lu Yanchen . She had sent him a text as usual, intending to leave after taking a look at him .

However, no matter how long she waited, Lu Yanchen did not appear that day .

In that sweltering midsummer afternoon with its blazing heat, Shi Guang found herself getting dizzier by the moment as her body felt as though it was burning with fire .

It took more than two hours before Lu Yanchen finally walked out from the school slowly .

Looking at him, Shi Guang forced out a faint smile before her body limped over and collapsed . Right before she closed her eyes, she caught sight of Lu Yanchen's worried expression…
