His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light - Chapter 61

He Xinnuo’s swimming was fast and good, with tenacity akin to that of a marathon runner. This was especially the case when it came to her final two laps—she had even gone for a speed burst all for the sake of leaving a good impression in front of Lu Yanchen.

For a period of time, the training hall was extremely silent, filled with nothing but the splashing sounds of He Xinnuo swimming.

Lu Yanchen merely sat there quietly.

All of a sudden, he spun his head and looked at Boss Lei who was beside him. Indicating with his head toward the seat beside him, Lu Yanchen threw out three simple words, “Do sit down.”

Boss Lei was totally overwhelmed by this display of kindness from Lu Yanchen.

Rumors had it that the fourth Young Master Lu was the coldest and most aloof, keeping his distance from everyone. For him to be this approachable right now, Boss Lei was truly feeling really unnerved!

He could not shake off the feeling that something was not right.

He did not dare to be on an equal footing as Young Master Lu. However, since Lu Yanchen had already spoken, Boss Lei couldn’t refuse to sit either! He could only move over uneasily and sit down in a fluster.

However, his bum only occupied a single inch of the chair.

Raising his head, he met with Lu Yanchen’s eyes accidentally—those pupils were deep and profound, seeming as though they were vortices that could suck one in them.

Immediately, Boss Lei bolted up right away, feeling his legs go soft and wobbly, “Young Master Lu, I think I’m still more used to standing up…standing up!”

Lu Yanchen waved his hand, indicating for Boss Lei to sit down once more. He even spoke up, “I heard that Boss Lei is someone who loves tea, eh?”

“It’s just a small interest of mine! However, I’ve just received some Da Hong Pao ¹ from the Wuyi Mountains today…I haven’t even unwrapped it! I heard that it comes from a century old tree…It’s definitely something you must try, Young Master Lu!” He wanted to pull some ties with Lu Yanchen, yet he was afraid of being overly pushy. Therefore, he could only ask carefully.

Lu Yanchen did not reply, merely pushing his lips slightly up as though he was interested.

As a person who was always observant toward the words and expressions of someone, Boss Lei understood Lu Yanchen’s reply immediately and hurriedly got someone nearby him to go prepare.

By now, He Xinnuo was done with her 1,500m swim. Coming forth from the pool, she wiped off the water from her face while walking over and calling out coquettishly, “Young Master Lu..”

Raising his head at her, Lu Yanchen asked, “Are you done swimming?”

He then turned around and looked at Boss Lei, as though he was implying that ‘I was discussing tea with you earlier on and had forgotten to watch her.’

Observing his gaze carefully, Boss Lei’s heart was clenching as he suggested softly, “Should I… get her to swim another round?”

Lu Yanchen’s defined lips curled up cleanly, “Sounds good.”

Heaving a sigh of relief, Boss Lei had He Xinnuo swim yet another 1,500m.

Having just come forth from a full swim, He Xinnuo was feeling fatigued and tired. But of course, her heart was feeling sweet within. However, before she could even savor that sweetness properly, it turned bitter once more.

Swim another round?

Even though she did not want to do so, other than agreeing to it, she could say nothing else.

No matter how tired she was, she would have to do it.

Not only that, she would have to do it with a smile.

She must not let out the slightest bit of unhappiness, or else, Lu Yanchen would surely think that she was throwing her temper and was unwilling to swim for him.

If Lu Yanchen wanted to see her swim, it naturally meant that he thought her swimming was good. After he was done watching, he would definitely request for her to be his coach. Once she was the coach of the Lu Family, would she have to worry about not getting a spot by then?

She had to persevere on. Once she did so, she would definitely busk in the warm light of victory!

Wu Xing stepped forth and asked He Xinnuo secretly, “Can you hold on?”

He knew He Xinnuo far too well. For a difficulty level of 1,500m, one round was more than enough for her.

“I’m fine! I can still continue,” Putting on a bright smile, He Xinnuo looked over at Lu Yanchen with a tinge of shyness on her face.

Next second, she spun her head around at Shi Guang by the side. That gloating expression on her face seemed as though she was showing off to Shi Guang, reminding her that she had better prepare to get replaced.

Shi Guang could barely hold in her laughter anymore, but she still did. She was starting to understand what Lu Yanchen was playing at…
