His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light Chapter 48

Outside the library, Mo Jin’s face was filled with an aghast expression as she looked at s.h.i.+ Guang. “Do you know what you were doing?!”

s.h.i.+ Guang puffed her cheeks. “I like him!”

Turning a shade darker in her face, Mo Jin lectured her, “You’re a high school student right now, and your priority should be your studies. The entrance exams are really important.”

s.h.i.+ Guang wanted to refute initially. But, when she caught sight of the solemn expression of her cousin, she could only reply softly, “Oh!”

However, she did not pay heed to her cousin’s advice. She was here to stay in the provincial capital for two days, and on the second day, she went to wait for Lu Yanchen right outside Righteous Morals High School.

After a long time, she had managed to wait him out. Looking at Lu Yanchen, her charming brows seemed as though they were about to fly off her forehead.

As for Lu Yanchen, his eyes turned cold the moment he caught sight of her as he turned around to walk away straight. Unaffected in the slightest bit, s.h.i.+ Guang maintained her cheery demeanor and chased up after him.

He walked really fast with huge strides; s.h.i.+ Guang needed to break into a slight run before she could even catch up to him. He came to a sudden stop as s.h.i.+ Guang found herself nearly flying into her body.

She looked at him with somewhat teary eyes. “Couldn’t you walk slower?”

“Don’t follow me.” He looked at her coldly as he spoke with a frosty tone. After he was done with that, he wanted to leave. Little did he expect that someone would be tugging at his s.h.i.+rt…

s.h.i.+ Guang’s face was flushed red. Clearly, she was embarra.s.sed to the max. Yet, she hardened her forehead and asked with a pitiful look, “You…Can you give me your number? I won’t follow you anymore if you give me your number…”

“What do you want my number for?” He asked as he gazed at her with those abyssally deep eyes once more.

“To chase you.” s.h.i.+ Guang replied.

“Truth or Dare again!” He scoffed coldly.

“It’s not Truth or Dare. It wasn’t the previous time around, neither is it this time around. I really do like you.” s.h.i.+ Guang said with a serious face.

The entire place fell silent.

Lu Yanchen’s confused gaze lingered on her for a moment before it flashed coldly and he replied indifferently, “But toward you, I don’t even have the slightest interest!”

“I know. But, we can try getting along here and there, chatting a little here and there! Who knows, you might find some from there?” s.h.i.+ Guang replied bravely. She knew that even her ears were flushed red right now—she had never expected herself to have such courage.

This time around, Lu Yanchen did not bother about her anymore. Tugging his s.h.i.+rt back, he turned around to leave.

s.h.i.+ Guang did not give chase either. It did not cross her mind that she would be able to get Lu Yanchen’s number in a single attempt.

Thereafter, whenever she was free, she could come over to the provincial capital to look for her cousin. But of course, it was all for Lu Yanchen. Anyway, he wasn’t bothered with her at all. Often, he would even hide intentionally and not show up when he caught sight of her waiting to see him.

Despite that, he still gave his number to s.h.i.+ Guang ultimately.

She would often send him text messages, which he would never ever reply.

That remained the case until the Chinese New Year. Sending him a Happy New Year text, s.h.i.+ Guang had not expected to get a reply as per usual.

However, Lu Yanchen replied with four words.

‘Happy Chinese New Year.’

Hugging her phone and hopping up and down happily, that joy lasted s.h.i.+ Guang for a full three days and nights.

When her cousin resumed school, s.h.i.+ Guang volunteered to send her off—she wanted to look for Lu Yanchen.

Each time she sent him a text telling him she was here to look for him, he would always turn up. Although, he would just be as cold as ever as he left her with a single sentence ‘You’ve seen me now’ each time before turning around to return to school.

s.h.i.+ Guang could not help but feel that the way he behaved was particularly cute.

Spring left and summer came as the weather turned hotter by the days.

That day, s.h.i.+ Guang continued to wait outside Righteous Morals High School after visiting her cousin to wait for Lu Yanchen. She had sent him a text as usual, intending to leave after taking a look at him.

However, no matter how long she waited, Lu Yanchen did not appear that day.

In that sweltering midsummer afternoon with its blazing heat, s.h.i.+ Guang found herself getting dizzier by the moment as her body felt as though it was burning with fire.

It took more than two hours before Lu Yanchen finally walked out from the school slowly.

Looking at him, s.h.i.+ Guang forced out a faint smile before her body limped over and collapsed. Right before she closed her eyes, she caught sight of Lu Yanchen’s worried expression…
