His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

Shi Guang’s face flashed with shades of white and redness, showing a sense of extreme awkwardness.

She did not move at all. After being at a loss for a few seconds, she continued, “You should try floating first. Yes, coaches could hold you up, but you’ve got to give it a shot first.”

Lu Yanchen said nonchalantly, “I’m afraid of water.”

Shi Guang bit down on her lip, leaving a clean imprint of her teeth on it. That slightly raised face of hers revealed her stumped expression, “I know that everything is always tough at the beginning, and that it’s not easy taking that first step. But, you should always depend on yourself for that first step.”

Lu Yanchen replied with the same four words, “…I’m afraid of water.”

Shi Guang’s could barely maintain her expression for much longer. ‘This isn’t being afraid of water! You look more like you’re sick right now!’

“I know that you’re afraid of water. Why else would you come looking for me?” She whispered out to herself, clearly rejecting him with her gaze.

“Oh, and you still remember your role as my coach and therapist, right? And yet, is this the way you’re behaving?” Lu Yanchen’s lips curled up slightly, seemingly both smiling and not at the same time. He then said out sarcastically, “Chu Mubei said that you’re deeply in love with me and will marry no one else except me.”

“What! Deeply in love with you? Marry no one else except you?” Shi Guang was stupefied by this sudden change in topic. She opened her eyes wide in incredulity and stared at Lu Yanchen, “Since when did I tell Chu Mubei that I’m deeply in love with you and that I’ll marry no one else but you?”

‘Just what has that Chu Mubei been spouting out blindly?’

While Lu Yanchen MIGHT be sick, that Chu Mubei was DEFINITELY sick—sick in the head, that is!

“Hmm…Since you’re not deeply in love with me, neither would you marry no one else but me, what is the reason for keeping your distance from me? A guilty conscience? Unprofessional? Trying to reel me in by acting distant?” Lu Yanchen reversed the question calmly.

Shi Guang’s petite face blushed red immediately, not sure what she should say.

But on second thought, she WAS his coach and therapist! If it were any other student today, she would definitely hold up the student and try teaching floating in a professional manner.

But why…why was she rejecting Lu Yanchen as such?

She tossed her glance over at Lu Yanchen’s bare chest. While her earlobes were flushed to a shade of pink, her petite face maintained its seriousness, “I didn’t say that I wouldn’t hold you up. I was merely asking you to try it out first. Since you refuse to try, I’ll hold you up to float then! But, this wouldn’t really be a real support. The main point is still for you to depend on yourself.”

After explaining for a whole chunk, Shi Guang came beside Lu Yanchen.

She held his arm with one hand while placing the other on his waist. She then said with a stern expression, “Lean your body forward first and raise your legs…I’m holding you up. You should try and get comfortable with that.”

Under her guidance, Lu Yanchen sprawled his body over. He froze for a little while his eyes squinted dangerously; though, his feet never raised themselves.

This caused Shi Guang to feel a little uneasy yet again.

If he raised them up, he would be swimming. But if he didn’t, it would seem as though they were flirting. This was an exceptionally strange feeling for her.

“Your…legs! Try raising them up. If you’re afraid, you can start by raising a single leg first…” Shi Guang had no other choice. Pulling at his body, she tried leaning him forward once more while her other hand supported his waist. His abs were truly seductive…but she mustn’t follow it anymore. If she were to go down along that V cut, she would reach something pretty scary…

‘Huh! Where are my thoughts going?’

Shi Guang’s entire body tightened up as though she was stiffening for a molt!

Using her side glance to look at Lu Yanchen, she found his entire face to be expressionless. Because his gaze was lowered, they hid his emotions well. Even the occasional glance over was extremely cool, without any form of emotions in those eyes. It was as though he was truly focused on learning to swim, yet his legs were unable to lift off the ground for some reason.

Perhaps, she should move down a little lower such that he would have no other choice but to raise his legs…?

She reminded herself that she was professional.

Moving that small little hand of hers downward, she came to his lower abdomen… Lu Yanchen’s entire body tightened up momentarily. His eyes flashed with a slight sign of distress as he straightened his entire body uncontrollably.

But because of that slight change, Shi Guang’s hand slid down further, touching something she should not have touched…
