His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light Chapter 207 - You Are My Girlfriend (7)

Not understanding him, s.h.i.+ Guang widened her eyes. “What do you mean by that?”

“There will definitely be people who will be curious toward you from now on. Even if you wish to disappear, you will not be able to do so. And, if anyone asks of our relations.h.i.+p from now on forth and you were to reply that you don’t know me, would that be acceptable?” Lu Yanchen’s face was solemn as the words that came forth were equally stern and serious.

???

Three question marks appeared above s.h.i.+ Guang’s head as her face wrinkled up like yogurt that had just lost its water content, looking all dry and pale.

“It IS indeed unacceptable. But by that, you mean…”

“After a period of time when people are no longer curious about you any longer, you can disappear as and when you’d like without anyone noticing or caring,” He looked at her with a side glance and said in a slow tone. However, every single word and sentence were still equally serious.

s.h.i.+ Guang’s face looked extremely terrible, as though it was about to explode off her head. She stammered as though she was tongue-tied, “Y-You m-mean that… if someone asks m-m-m-m-me… I still have to continue a-acting?!”

‘Why did she have to pretend to be someone’s girlfriend again!’

‘Just what sort of a sin have I done! So be it if I had to pretend to be a girlfriend to her good friend, Huo Zhan. But now, to her ex-boyfriend, Lu Yanchen as well!’

“No!” s.h.i.+ Guang rejected without thinking twice. Even though it was a fake girlfriend, it was more than enough for her to pretend to be one person’s fake girlfriend.

She did not want to attract more troubles onto herself.

Not only that, it seemed like Mummy Huo knew Mrs. Lu as well! What if they were to end up b.u.mping into one another one day and find out that she was the girlfriend of two different people?

Even though both were fake girlfriends, the outsiders did not know that! By then, they would definitely think that she was some loose, two-timing s.k.a.n.k…!

The rain sprayed around gently as a slight mist emanated out around them, causing a stale stillness to remain in the air around them. After a moment, Lu Yanchen’s lips curled up slightly as he could not hide a trace of complaint in his soft tone. “And for whom did I land myself in this current predicament for?”

s.h.i.+ Guang was stunned and froze for a rather long time before muttering out softly, “But, I didn’t ask for your help.”

Lu Yanchen’s face turned sullen. “So, I asked for it!”

s.h.i.+ Guang’s face flushed with blood. “I-I didn’t… say that…”

Lu Yanchen said nothing more. He just turned his head around and did not look at her any longer.

Saying nothing more meant that he was no longer forcing her to pretend to be his girlfriend for the current period of time. In theory, she should feel relieved over it. However, s.h.i.+ Guang found herself unable to relax somehow.

She knew that Lu Yanchen was unhappy, and was brooding over it right now. That had her feeling as though she was a sinner.

With much effort, she took in a deep breath of air before turning her head to the other side, taking long, deep breaths to calm herself down.

A cold silence descended between the two of them where neither said anything.

Her hand that was gripped tightly into a fist finally relented as she said out softly, “Then… for the next month, I’m not going to explain anything.”

One month’s time… That should be enough for him to learn how to swim. Her school would reopen after one month as well–that should separate the two of them far enough.

By not clarifying the relations.h.i.+p between the two of them, that would serve to return him the favor that he had helped her with several times now.

With that, every debt between the two of them should be cleared as well.

Turning around, Lu Yanchen’s deep gaze peered calmly on s.h.i.+ Guang’s face. Even though he said nothing, she could feel that his mood had been lifted.

Feeling an inexplicable sense of awkwardness, s.h.i.+ Guang coughed out, “I’ll be leaving now then.”

“I’m leaving as well. Wait here for me. I’ll drive over.” With that said, Lu Yanchen left.

s.h.i.+ Guang heaved out a sigh of relief. The feeling that she was having right now was completely different from when she had agreed to pretend to be Huo Zhan’s girlfriend.

She clutched her hand at her chest and repeated the same words over and over again, “Ex-boyfriend, ex-boyfriend… He’s just an ex-boyfriend…”
