His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light - Chapter 622

But those devilish words of Shi Guang did not cause Lu Yanchen’s temper to go down as he gave a cold stifle instead, “Shi Littly, your guts are truly getting bigger now eh?”

Shi Guang pouted her lips. “Can’t even compliment you. Let’s not talk anymore.”

With that, she acted as though she was going to hang up on the call.

His face turned colder. “Try hanging up.”

Shi Guang played with her hair before smiling brightly. “Since you can’t bear to lose me that much, I guess I’ll just have to force myself to chat with you a little longer.”

“But, I don’t wish to talk to you anymore.” His lips curled playfully.

Shi Guang’s eyes widened slowly and glared at him coldly. “Lu Yanchen!”

“Sleep earlier.”

“I wish to as well. But, there’s an Old Jealous King around.”

“Old what?” His voice was threatening.

“Old… Old… Old…” Shi Guang’s eyes rolled around. With her sharp mind, she smirked out before calling out dearly, “Old Dear…” But the next second, she added yet another word to it, “Grandpa. Haha…! Old Dear Grandpa! Your leg’s got to hurry up and recover alright, Old Dear Grandpa?”

“You’re looking down on me for being old?” His tone was both gentle and dangerous. “Am I not satisfying you enough?”

Shi Guang blinked her eyes and looked at the side at Lin Qiqi who was playing on her computer. Instantly, she lowered her volume in a hushed tone, “S-Stop talking about that when you’re unhappy!”

“But, that’s what you like the most.”

“Who likes it! Not talking to you anymore! Goodnight!”

“Smelly girl!” Too cocky and brazen! She’d watch how he’d take care of her in the future.

The two of them chatted for a long time such that it was really late. Because she had training early the next day, she had to hang up no matter how reluctant she was.

For the next couple of days, Shi Guang would always converse on the phone with Lu Yanchen after training—video calls at times.

Time passed by really quickly, and before long, the training was over, and it was time for the National Swimming Championships.

The National Swimming Championships were organized by the swimming department of the Ministry of Sports, and were to be held on a rotation basis in provinces nationwide. This year, it was the Z Province’s turn to organize it. This was one of the highest tiered swimming competitions in the entire country, and the entire duration lasted for 7 days.

A week before the competition, all of the swimmers had their phones confiscated by their coaches, and they could only stay in the provincial team dorms with a tight schedule day in and out, consisting of merely resting or training—it was all for the purpose of ensuring that they were in their best condition.

The first event of the National Swimming Championships was a 4 x 100m Female Mixed Relay.

Because it was starting right after the commencement ceremony, there were many media reporters present.

Shi Guang and Lin Qiqi were a part of this event as well; and since it was held right in their province, the regional press put additional emphasis on the both of them.

Head Coach Li said, “You guys must remember that coordination is key. You must adjust your mentality beforehand and push yourself hard at the last 50m. Since it’s being held in our province this year, for the first event, even if you guys do not get the 1st place, we must vie for the top 3. Once we get to the top 3, I’ll treat everyone to hotpot tonight.”

The sound of hotpot had Lin Qiqi and the two other girls drooling. Even Shi Guang was the same.

There was no choice. Due to the recent stringent requirements on their diets, all of their meals were really bland, even if they were nutritious. Because the weather was getting colder as well, the sound of hotpot was truly seductive.

The 4 x 100m Mixed Relay went in the order of backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle.
