His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

Shi Guang rubbed her temple in pain. “What situation am I in? You don’t know anything at all.”

“He has a fiancée, Shi Guang! For someone who has a girlfriend or fiancée, no matter how much you like them, you shouldn’t get involved with them. I don’t want you to get scolded as ‘the other woman’ one day.”

When she heard that, Shi Guang’s face went dark.

Huo Zhan looked at her calmly as he felt an inexplicable sense of stuffiness in his chest. “I know that you don’t like to hear these words, but…”

Shi Guang cut him in his words. “Huo Zhan, it’s not as you think it is. There are some things that I don’t really know how I should explain to you as well. But, he and I… we’ll definitely not be together.”

There was a tone of certainty. However, Huo Zhan could not get his spirits up even after hearing that.

Thankfully, Li Fangfei arrived at that moment, bringing the topic to a temporary stop.

Shi Guang went to the washroom. As she returned, she passed by a booth and caught sight of Wang Caichun.

When Wang Caichun saw her, she was surprised as well before standing up and pulling her over. “I had intended to ask you out in the next couple of days. Wanna go shopping together later on?”

Shi Guang replied apologetically, “I’m already meeting with two friends right now, so today might be inconvenient.”

“Next time then!”

Wang Caichun knew about what happened at the charity ball last night as well. When she heard of it, she laughed so hard that her face nearly cramped up. For Yang Sitong’s earrings to be snatched away, she must have been pissed to death!

She really found herself adoring Shi Guang more and more as she smiled out with a radiant beam while tugging at the latter’s hand. “Right, I’ve got something to ask you.”

Shi Guang’s face was bewildered, ‘???’

Wang Caichun said in a low voice, “I heard that Lu Yanchen was beaten up by his father, eh?”

Shi Guang was stunned for a moment. The thing about Lu Yanchen being whipped was something that he did not want others to know, and had kept mum about it as well. How did Wang Caichun know about it?

Or, was she lying to test her?

Shi Guang shook her head. “I don’t know.”

Wang Caichun’s face was shocked. “You don’t know? I heard that it was because of you that he received the beating!”

“Me?”

How could it be because of her? When Shen Lingshuang called her, she had only mentioned about Lu Yanchen being beaten up, and did not say anything of the cause. Also, her tone sounded rather nice.

If Lu Yanchen was beaten up because of her, in theory, Shen Lingshuang should not have remained that calm.

After Wang Caichun had left, Shi Guang found herself being somewhat distracted. Her entire mind was filled with the matter of Lu Yanchen being beaten up because of her.

As for Huo Zhan, he was almost similar to her.

Even though he was seated down in a lazy and nonchalant manner, his mind was all over the place.

His mind was filled with nothing but the images of how Shi Guang had looked after having the call with Lu Yanchen, that look of being a little angry and worried. It was a look of someone in love.

Even though he was clearly in the direct range of the aircon, he found his chest being filled up with stuffy hot air.

Tea time was over as Shi Guang got a ride herself back while Huo Zhan sent Li Fangfei back to school. As he parked below the hostel, Huo Zhan held Li Fangfei back.

He hesitated for a moment before asking, “If your best friend were to find someone they liked one day and you were to feel unhappy about it, why would that be so?”

Li Fangfei was stunned for a moment as her hand that was resting on her thighs somewhat started quivering uncontrollably as well. After a split moment, she smiled, “Worry, perhaps? That the other party might not be someone decent.”

Huo Zhan contemplated deeply for a moment before smiling out, “That must be it!”

‘If you were to grow a cabbage in your garden and the neighbour’s pig were to come over and steal it over, how could you get happy over it?’

After Li Fangfei watched Huo Zhan’s car leave her sight entirely, that smiling face of hers drooped with melancholy as she muttered under her breath, “It’s because of… love.”

That was the true answer she had in her heart.

*Li Fangfei… has a thing for Huo Zhan, right? :(*
