His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light
chapter-22

Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_

With utmost certainty, Shi Guang spilled out a name, “Huo Zhan!”

Huo Zhan was Shi Guang’s ex neighbour, and right now, he was studying abroad in France. Shi Guang had been friends with him for over ten years now, they were true homies.

Li Fangfei sniggered out, “Huo Zhan told me that you would definitely be able to guess it! As expected indeed! But don’t you worry, Shi Guang, I did know tell him what was going on in detail and cause him to worry. All I said was that you took on a private coaching job with the endorsement along with training for the selection test. Therefore, you’re coming home very late daily. He then said that since that house of his was being left empty, you might as well just head over to stay. Just pay rent will do.”

“Pay rent?” These past few years, Huo Zhan had been helping Shi Guang out a lot. But no matter how close their relationship was, Shi Guang wasn’t someone who would consistently trouble others.

“That’s right! Huo Zhan said that if you were not going to pay rent, then don’t bother heading over to stay.”

Shi Guang chuckled out, “Sure. Even if he didn’t say that, I was all prepared to go stay over there anyways! Since that house of his is left all empty anyways, what a waste it would be! But tell him that I’m going to change locks. Who knows if he’s going to just decide to return one day and give me a big scare!”

Li Fangfei replied, “He said that you can tear down the entire house however you’d like, but the main thing is that you’ve got to pay rent. The pocket money that his mum has been giving him recently is not enough for him to spend.”

“Seems like he found a goddess for his heart yet again.” It was only when he was in love would Huo Zhan not have enough money to spend.

“Seems like it.”

…

Huo Zhan’s house was located in a small neighbourhood between the Shen Family’s Water Cube and the club.

Shi Guang used to lodge here before as well, so this wasn’t the first time she was here. Staying here would indeed help her save quite a bit of time. She would be able to spare out at least 3 hours of training daily.

There were not many houses in this neighbourhood. Most of them were villas with only a single building within.

The atmosphere was pretty decent. It was peaceful and secluded.

The apartment was in the single building’s 11th floor. While it could not be considered as huge, it was spacious and bright with a balcony to boot.

Shi Guang did not bring much with her, just a few sets of clothes to change into.

These two days were the weekends; thus, Shi Guang did not have to give Lu Yanchen any lessons. After training at the club, she would return to clean up the place a little. The two days were pretty relaxing for Shi Guang. But when she thought of how she had to give Lu Yanchen lessons the next day, she could feel her head hurting.

She was really hoping that Lu Yanchen would hurry and request for a change of coach with his mum.

There were a series of banging sounds coming from above her. Shi Guang who was in the midst of washing clothes was startled. Listening carefully, it was as though something heavy was being moved.

The 12th floor was the top floor – a single high-end penthouse. There seemed to have been no one staying there all this while. Seems like there’s finally an owner to it.

Shi Guang continued to wash her clothes. After she was done, she took the basin with her to the balcony.

Standing on the balcony, she could just nice make out the French windows of the 12th floor.

She did not know if she was hallucinating, but when Shi Guang was hanging out her clothes, she had this inexplicable feeling that a pair of eyes were observing her. It was as though she was a prey.

However, this feeling went as quickly as it came.

Raising her head to take a look, it was dark on the 12th floor. The lights weren’t even turned on. Seems like there should be no one home.

–

In the dark night, a tall and well-built man stood in front of the French window and through the windows, he looked at the girl who was dressed in her pyjamas with dishevelled hair. When she raised her head, those eyes of hers blinked slightly as though she was slightly stunned.

The more he gazed at the girl, the more he was lost in his thoughts.

It was only when his mobile rang that he snapped back to his senses. Taking the call, a male voice came from within, “How’s everything, Lu Yanchen? Are you satisfied with the house?”

Lu Yanchen looked down at Shi Guang who was preparing to return to her house after hanging her clothes as his lips curled into a grin, “Satisfied.”

This place? He was satisfied to death!
