His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

The air in the lift was eerie and sinister, filled with a strong burning tension. Shi Guang could feel her heart being strung up tightly as she stole glances at both Lu Yanchen and Huo Zhan—neither of them bothered with the other.

She recalled that even though it wasn’t the first time they were meeting with one another, they were not acquainted in any way. Hence, it was only natural that they did not bother with the other.

“I forgot to introduce you guys. This is my childhood friend, Huo Zhan,” She told Lu Yanchen.

“And this is my… marriage partner, Lu Yanchen.” She told Huo Zhan.

Other than introducing the two of them to one another, Shi Guang’s thoughts were to ease the tension in the air. But, who knew that the final sentence of hers did not please either party, as the air in the lift got even more suffocating.

For Lu Yanchen, calling him a marriage partner meant that there were no other emotions involved. There was no way he could be happy with that!

As for Huo Zhan, they were already at the point of marriage. Even while introducing him, she was including the word marriage in it—that was enough to tell how much she liked this man.

Right now, he was thinking about how Shi Guang got to know Lu Yanchen. Was it because she had rented his apartment and because they lived one floor away from the other, which was how they ended up together?

If that were the case, wouldn’t he have indirectly become their matchmaker?

At that thought, Huo Zhan really wanted to kill himself even.

Shi Guang, “…”

Why was it that even after introducing them, the two of them merely glanced at one another as a form of greeting, and then acted like they were strangers once more? Were they both people who needed time to get to know one another?

…

Lu Yanchen did not insist that they had to go to his apartment.

The lift stopped at the 11th floor as he walked into the kitchen familiarly after entering the apartment, without looking like he had any intention of getting out. Shi Guang had Huo Zhan put down his luggage and rested for a bit before heading into the kitchen as well.

She looked at Lu Yanchen, who was leaning against the kitchen table lazily, and asked, “It’ll take quite a while to prepare. Do you want…” She had wanted to continue with ‘go out and eat instead?’

But, when she saw how his gaze narrowed dangerously, she hurriedly changed her words, “… help a little or wait outside?”

Lu Yanchen walked away and gave Shi Guang some space. However, he did not head out.

She said nothing more, feeling like things would definitely get even more awkward if he were to head out and stay there alone with Huo Zhan. She flipped through her groceries and decided on the dishes she wanted to make before getting onto it.

Suddenly, a figure came beside her and opened the tap before helping her to wash the vegetables.

Shi Guang was startled. “…”

THE Young Master Lu was helping her wash vegetables!

What’s going on here!

It was scarier than bumping into a ghost!

In that moment, Shi Guang was really so stunned that her entire mind went blank. Thankfully, she recovered really quickly and said hurriedly, “I’d better do it.”

“Go do your own stuff.”

That was a domineering command that even had her feeling a little numb.

Immediately, Shi Guang spun around and took the fish that he had washed to season it with salt and some other condiments, before putting it into the microwave to steam it.

The kitchen of this apartment wasn’t all that big. When Shi Guang turned around, Lu Yanchen happened to do so as well, causing the two of them to bump into one another. Because of that, Shi Guang found herself stumbling back a couple of steps as her waist was slammed onto the edge of the table behind her. By reflex, she raised her brow and yelped out, “Ouch!”

It wasn’t a really heavy knock as she used her hand to go rub her waist.

Lu Yanchen’s brows furrowed. “Where did you bump?”

“My waist.”

“I’ll rub it for you.”

“Huh? No…”

Before she could reject him, his hand was already wrapped around her waist, rubbing it left and right.

Even though she was wearing clothes, it was a really flirty move as her nostrils were filled with his manly pheromones. Her heart felt as though it was knocked by something as it started pitter-pattering…
