His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light - Chapter 72

Lu Yanchen met with Chu Mubei’s eyes. “Even with so much food to stuff your mouth with, you can’t shut up.”

Chu Mubei raised his brows, “…”

He could profess that he was someone sharp in identifying the mood of others. With just a single look, he could guess what sort of thoughts they had in their minds and read them like an open book. This included his old man back at home, whose mood swings and temper were things he could identify easily.

However, it was just this Lu Yanchen that he could not read no matter what; he could not guess what this guy was thinking at all.

‘Since you like her, can’t you just be that bit gentler to her? Would it kill you? But no! What’s with this acting cold and aloof? Trying to tighten the reins by loosening it first?’

But, that didn’t seem the case either—Chu Mubei just couldn’t guess at all!

Taking her rice out, the seat Shi Guang chose was closer to Chu Mubei and further from Lu Yanchen.

Immediately, Chu Mubei chuckled out, “Old Lu, seems like I’m still someone that girls prefer, eh?”

Lu Yanchen ignored him and continued with his meal. Unbothered by that, Chu Mubei looked at Shi Guang while asking, “Shi Guang, I still don’t know this yet, but which school are you studying in?”

Without waiting for Shi Guang to reply, Lu Yanchen chipped in, “One must not talk when they’re eating.”

Even though she had stayed for the meal, Shi Guang felt uneasy all over. Even though that single statement from Lu Yanchen was indifferent without warmth—there wasn’t a single bit of displeasure shown in it—Shi Guang’s heart still skipped a beat nevertheless.

She swallowed the rice in her mouth with much effort while eyeing Lu Yanchen cautiously.

He was focused on having his meal, his motions smooth and elegant. Lowering his eyes, his face was expressionless such that there was no one who could grasp his true emotions.

She looked over at Chu Mubei while replying softly, “I’m at the Ryonan Sports University!”

The moment her voice drifted out, Lu Yanchen’s icy glare moved toward her. As though it was instinct, Shi Guang shut her mouth and ate carefully.

By the time she realized what she had done, she gave herself a tight slap mentally.

‘F*ck, am I not way too useless now? What am I afraid of? Even if Lu Yanchen is my ‘Daddy’, I shouldn’t be this afraid either…’

‘Fine! after all, ‘Daddies’ were the biggest things these years anyway.’

‘Damn it, this perverted Lu Yanchen!’

Shi Guang regretted not tormenting him properly back when they were together. He was clearly the one who had asked for the breakup, yet he was acting all indignant…as though she was the one who had done him wrong.

What could she have done that was wrong to him? Unless…

Chu Mubei’s voice rang out that interrupted Shi Guang’s thoughts.

“Old Lu, what’s wrong with you? It’s so boring to eat without talking.”

Lu Yanchen looked at him with a look that seemed as though he was both smiling and not smiling before mocking him, “I remember the previous time around when you were dating three girls all at once…Back then, they came to look for you together and you guys had a meal together, didn’t you? During that meal, weren’t you the one who said that ‘one must not talk when they’re eating’?”

Almost choking over his food, Chu Mubei pointed over at Lu Yanchen. “Y-You…! You’re really…! Cough, cough!”

He walked over to the bar table and took a can of beer, pulling off the tab before drinking a mouthful. He then took two more cans, placing them in front of Shi Guang and Lu Yanchen respectively.

“Come, come, come! Let us thank Little Sister Shi Guang for preparing this great meal for us today!” Chu Mubei, who was smeared black all over again, was showing how terrible he felt over that incident, not wishing to have the most awkward part of his past being mentioned ever again.

Lu Yanchen ignored him. But, when Shi Guang reached out to get her can of beer, Lu Yanchen beat her to the chase and took over her can of beer. As a result, Shi Guang ended up grabbing air.

Chu Mubei remarked, “You’ve got one in front of you.”

Lu Yanchen pulled up the tab before drinking relaxedly. “It’s enough that you’re freeloading on a meal, but you want to freeload on beer as well?”
