Shi Guang received a call from huo Zhan, asking her to meet up.

Initially, the Flying Fish Cup was meant to be three days later. Because she had to prepare for the competition, Shi Guang had only intended to talk to Huo Zhan about anything only after the competition.

However, Zhang Shulin informed her that due to issues with the venue, the Flying Fish Cup was delayed by ten days. In order to make up for that, the provincial team’s side had decided that the top 3 places for the Flying Fish Cup would be able to make it for the provincial team selection test.

With that having happened, she agreed to meet up with Huo Zhan for tea.

He was rather pissed when she arrived, glaring at her with widened eyes, looking to be in a total huff. “Say, say! What’s going on here? Didn’t you tell me that you had no boyfriend? What an ingrate! Who was the one who was the best to you since we were young?”

He patted his chest furiously. “It was me, Huo Zhan! But you! Well done! You got yourself a gigolo without even telling me?”

Shi Guang bemoaned, “He’s not a gigolo. Furthermore, we’re onl…”

Huo Zhan cut her in her words. “If he isn’t a gigolo what is he? Do you know that he has a fiancée? Just because he’s the 4th Young Master of the Lu Family, does that allow him to two-time others? I’m telling you…”

Shi Guang wanted to explain things to Huo Zhan, but he was lecturing her the entire time without giving her a chance to.

At that moment, her phone rang…

She looked at it–it was Lu Yanchen. She then picked up the call.

“You’re late,” He was lying on his beach chair lazily while the bright sunlight landed on his body in patches after seeping through the gaps of the foliage above.

‘Late? He wanted to have lessons today? But, wasn’t he injured…? ‘

Shi Guang was about to reply when Huo Zhan increased his volume loudly on the other end purposely, “Oi, oi, oi! Who is that?”

His voice was so loud that Lu Yanchen on the other end could hear him.

Squinting his eyes, that lazy attitude of his disappeared as his face turned cold as ice.

Shi Guang shot a glare over at Huo Zhan before explaining in a soft voice, “You’re injured, and you can’t have lessons, right?”

Lu Yanchen’s face was totally frosty. He had initially prepared his speech beforehand, but he changed everything. “Who told you that I can’t have lessons because I’m injured? If I want lessons, I want them! Get over here now!”

His tone was way different from before as well, without any bit of warmth left.

With that said, he hung up on her.

Shi Guang sweated. Even though Lu Yanchen’s tone was harsh, she did not intend to head back.

Entering the waters before his wounds had recovered? What if they were to get infected? Really now… He was already so old, and he still couldn’t stop causing worries.

Huo Zhan saw how Shi Guang had ended the call, but was still looking all worried. He then moved his face right before hers, giving her such a shock that she stumbled back, nearly screaming out. “What are you doing?”

“Oh, you’ve finally gotten back to your senses? I thought that that single call had sucked your soul away into the depths of the abyss, never to return ever again!” Huo Zhan mocked her with a sour tone, “Gosh, you’re really deeply infected by that cupid’s arrow, such that a single phone call could have you in such a daze, eh?”

Shi Guang sweated out. “Since when?”

“Since when?” Huo Zhan mocked out. “Look at the way you’re behaving right now. It’s the type of retarded look one gives off when they’re in love! It’s not that I want to scold you, but can you just grow some brains and not get scammed?”

As a close friend who had grown up with her since they were young, and given their current situation, Huo Zhan felt that he should take care of her and look after her.

“Don’t worry!” Shi Guang smiled out speechlessly.

“Hmph, hmph!” Huo Zhan let out two bitter chuckles before poking her at the side of her head without holding back at all. “How many years have I known you for now? Others may not know you that well, but me? Given the way you are right now, it’s really hard not to worry…!”
