Chapter 161

It was late at night, and the neighborhood was really silent .

Lu Yanchen’s eyes seemed like two deep lakes that were grave and stoic, without any bit of teasing or toying hints in them… He merely looked at Shi Guang seriously just like that .

Shi Guang’s face froze up for a moment before she hung a huge, wide smile on it .

Expending all her energy, she tried to keep her tone neutral and natural . “Oh… So you said that you saw something? Are you referring to how… Yang Sitong said that you turned colder toward her after witnessing it? At that moment, I thought you were referring to how you had witnessed her entering a plastic surgery hospital and realized that her face had gone under the knife; hence you turned colder . After all, men are all really concerned about a woman’s looks . “

Lu Yanchen pursed his lips as his gaze suddenly turned savage and brutal . With a complex and deep stare, he glanced at Shi Guang for a moment more before leaving .

Shi Guang, “…”

She should not have mistaken that final cold glare he left before he had left .

It was derision .

He was expressing his displeasure – a complete and extreme displeasure at her reply .

Looking at the distant back view of his, Shi Guang finally heaved out a sigh of relief .

For the next few days, Lu Yanchen seemed as though he had vanished into thin air . Even when she went to feed Little Goody, she did not catch sight of him at all . Even when she texted him about the venue of their lesson, he ignored it .

…

On this day, Li Fangfei asked Shi Guang to meet her at school . The location was at a bridge beside a little forest in their school . Li Fangfei was behaving all secretively as Shi Guang raised her brow . “What’s wrong with you? What’s up with that strange smile?”

Li Fangfei did not reply, merely raising her hand and shaking it as though she was singing while casting her gaze behind her from time to time…

Shi Guang did not know what was behind . But, the moment she turned around, someone gave her a huge hug from the back . “Long time no see, Little Shi Guang!”

That familiar voice caused Shi Guang’s eyes to widen . “Huo Zhan, why are you back!”

She turned around and broke out of Huo Zhan’s embrace, filled with disbelief .

Huo Zhan smiled out as he patted Shi Guang’s back vigorously, exuding the perfect attitude of an old brother . “Of course, it’s because I miss you that I’ve returned to see you . “

The pat was indeed so vigorous that Shi Guang felt as though she could spit out a mouthful of blood . She tossed away that arm of his that was wrapped around her shoulder and scoffed, “Ha, miss me? Come on! It must be because some girl you like has returned to China, isn’t it?”

Their parents were friends; hence they knew one another from a young age . They lived in the same neighborhood and attended the same school .

Since he was young, Huo Zhan had been particularly playful . In any case, he just wasn’t the type of model student with stellar results . However, he had sharp features and was rather handsome . Coupled with the fact that he was good at basketball, he had a legion of girls chasing after him .

Since he was in high school, he had started dating girls, resulting in his academic results dipping tremendously .

Even though Huo Zhan didn’t come from some incredible family background, his parents were both professors . The fact that they brought up a bad student was something that had his parents extremely flustered .

Because of that, he grew up with no lack of scoldings and beatings; and each time he was beaten up, he would run to Shi Guang’s house to hide .

Later on, Shi Guang left the provincial city . While they didn’t attend the same school, they still stayed in contact nevertheless .

By the time she returned to the provincial city for university, that bad student Huo Zhan had already left the country to study abroad . For his return to the country, he got to know Shi Guang’s roommate, Li Fangfei as well .

As the three of them sat down on the grass patch to chat and found out about Huo Zhan’s reason for returning, Shi Guang was alarmed . “What did you say? You’ve returned to get engaged!”

Huo Zhan gave off a completely exasperated look . “That’s right! Not only does my mum want me to get engaged, she even wants me to bring that woman with me back! Shi Guang! You’ve got to help me!”
