His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

After their long hours of romping around the previous night, both of them were awakened by a phone call the next day.

Lu Yanchen opened his eyes and was greeted by the sight of Shi Guang, who was stirring awake as well. He reached for his phone, and before he could speak, Chu Mubei’s voice rang out. “Old Lu, have you eaten?”

“No.” Lu Yanchen checked the time—it was already 11am.

“I’ve booked a suite a Nanlou. Let’s eat together?”

“I’ll reply to you in a bit.”

Shi Guang peeled her eyes open, looking as though she was completely in a daze as she asked in a coarse voice after he hung up, “Who was it?”

“Chu Mubei… He asked us to eat together.”

“What time is it now?”

“11 plus.”

“Let’s head over to mummy’s place after eating then. We’ll squeeze Chu Mubei good later.”

“Sure!”

The two of them washed up, and by the time they arrived at Nanlou, it was already close to 12.

Nanlou was a hotpot restaurant, and the pot was already boiling by the time they arrived, along with an assortment of dishes served, all ready for them to begin eating.

Chu Mubei had only invited Lu Yanchen. When Shi Guang arrived as well, his face blackened as he asked Lu Yanchen, who was pouring drinks for Shi Guang, “Didn’t you say yesterday that Shi Guang had an appointment this afternoon?”

If he had known that Lu Yanchen wouldn’t be coming alone, he wouldn’t have asked him! In the past, he was all for getting both of them together because he loved to see how Lu Yanchen was always flustered, and did not know how to deal with Shi Guang.

But now, he disliked hanging out with them, where they would do nothing but act lovey-dovey before him.

“Did I?” Lu Yanchen acted dumb.

“I was supposed to meet Qian Xun for a meal. But, we pushed it forward and settled it with dinner last night.” Shi Guang explained with a smile.

“Why? You’re going to turn poor just because I bring an extra Pax?” Lu Yanchen eyed Chu Mubei coldly.

Not turn poor… It was just that with both of them around, Chu Mubei’s tummy was already full before he even began eating! Chu Mubei could only cook his food with an upset face.

“Drink some tea. It’ll help to purge the dampness from your body.” Because of a typhoon, the weather had been rather unforgiving in the past couple of days. Even just crossing a small stretch of road was enough for one to feel the chills.

“Sure!” Shi Guang took over and sipped a little before warming her hands with the teacup. Instantly, Lu Yanchen covered her hands. “Why are you always forgetting to bring gloves?”

Chu Mubei looked at her and grumbled in his heart…

It’s not as though she’s made of tofu! What’s the big deal about getting it a little cold?

Shi Guang looked at Lu Yanchen and chuckled. “Isn’t that what you’re for? I won’t feel cold once I put my hands in your pockets.”

“You must always remember to bring your gloves if you’re alone… and your scarf and hat. It’s warm in the house, but really cold outside!”

Chu Mubei’s teeth were almost decaying from the amount of sugar. “…”

“Yepp, yepp!” Shi Guang nodded her head.

Grumble

Shi Guang’s breakfast-less stomach started grumbling right after she finished speaking as her face blushed. “Hungry… heh!”

Instantly, Lu Yanchen cooked some food and placed it on her dish. “Here!”

Chu Mubei could no longer watch everything. No way he was going to continue suffering here eating dog food all alone! He had to get someone else to come and suffer with him!

He took out his phone and gave Wang Caichun a call. “Where are you?”

“Xinwan City… Why?”

Chu Mubei had turned the speakers on. The moment Shi Guang heard Wang Caichun’s voice, she called out, “Caichun!”

“Eh? Shi Guang?”

Chu Mubei said, “We’re having hotpot at Nanlou. It’s quite near to you. Want to join us?”
