Not having to wash the dishes was something that Shi Guang could not have asked for more. Even though she was smiling, it was a distant smile. “I’ll go back now then, eh? Everything between us is settled now.”

Lu Yanchen’s gaze was one that was still slightly sharp as he looked at Shi Guang deeply. Shi Guang faced his gaze bravely. “Or, is it only considered to be settled after I wash the dishes?”

Chu Mubei looked over at Lu Yanchen, then at Shi Guang. Just like that, he spun between them a couple of rounds just like a hunter that had just found its prey. Filled with curiosity, he asked, “What’s to be settled? Come, hurry and spill the beans. Is there some sort of an unspeakable secret between you two…”

“NO!”

“NO!”

Shi Guang and Lu Yanchen replied immediately.

Chu Mubei’s face sparkled bedazzlingly as his eyes twinkled with a gossipy glint. “Wow! Such chemistry!”

Lu Yanchen’s face was filled up with a classy look as he pointed at the kitchen with his slender finger. “Go wash the dishes.”

He then looked over at Shi Guang before tilting his head to the door. Understanding his intentions, Shi Guang spun around with haste.

“Shi Guang, hold on! Little Sister Shi Guang…!”

No matter how Chu Mubei called out, Shi Guang had already taken her bag and left the place coolly. She felt calmer by the moment—with a free immunity pass such as Lu Yanchen, things couldn’t have gotten any better!

Chu Mubei was both in a huff and enraged as he looked at Lu Yanchen. “I’m not washing! You can do it yourself!”

But of course, Lu Yanchen could not care less as he spoke with a threatening tone, “Hurry up and wash. Once you’re done, clean up the kitchen as well to maintain hygiene.”

As he said that, he walked over to the living room and sat down on the sofa, turning on the television to watch the finance news with ease.

Chu Mubei felt that this freeload meal wasn’t worth it at all as he intentionally made a lot of noise to disturb Lu Yanchen. However, Lu Yanchen was just fixated on the news the entire time.

In the midst of his endless indignance, Chu Mubei hastily washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen casually.

It was entirely slipshod.

Either way, there was going to be a cleaner coming tomorrow anyway.

As he dried his hands, Chu Mubei came over to the sofa and remarked begrudgingly, “Done.”

“Oh? Then you can leave now.” Lu Yanchen replied indifferently.

“Didn’t you say that you had something to talk to me about?” Chu Mubei was regretting it right now! He should have rushed over to Lu Yanchen at the first moment when the latter mentioned wanting to talk to him about something.

“Did I?”

Chu Mubei nearly spat out a mouthful of blood in a fit.

“Earlier on when I said that I wanted to help Little Sister Shi Guang clean up, you said that you wanted to talk to me about something so that I couldn’t help her! And now, you’re telling me that there’s nothing? Clearly, you just don’t want to let Little Sister Shi Guang spend time with me. You’re afraid that she’ll fall in love with me! After looking at how she had spent all that time being busy earlier on, you didn’t want her to do the dishes. Hence, you found an excuse to plant the work onto me!”

Lu Yanchen was still nonchalant as ever. “Are you done? Once you’re done talking, you can leave.”

Since Lu Yanchen was chasing him off, Chu Mubei didn’t want to leave even more; he wanted to go against Lu Yanchen purposely. Taking out his phone, he played games for a moment and read the news at others.

He then went onto Weibo.

Suddenly, he gasped out.

“This post… Isn’t it talking about Little Sister Shi Guang?”

Lu Yanchen acted as though he heard nothing and was unconcerned.

“The champion of the 200m freestyle category for the College Games used dope…”

When doping was associated with an athlete, it was always a sensitive topic.

Lu Yanchen’s eyes froze as an unbridled coldness surged through him. “Hand the phone over…Give it to me…”

Without waiting for Chu Mubei to extend his hands, Lu Yanchen had already grabbed the phone over.
