Lu Up Shi Guang… Those four words told a little story between them—a dirty one at that—describing both of them doing something lewd together . Immediately, Shi Guang's heart clenched up as she stammered, “Y-You! Y-Y-You…!”
Her face flushed bright red like the cherry blossoms that blossomed in March, giving off a coquettish flavor to it . “Lu Yanchen… you're too much…!”
The gaze of that man was akin to a predator out in the plains .
Leaning in, he kissed at her neck with a bloodthirsty hunger . His body exuded forth a thick aura of male pheromones, causing her to swoon in giddiness as her entire body felt soft and fluffy . Her heart was pounding erratically as her face turned really scarlet, afraid that she might fall into that delirious state of mind once more .
She tried again to push him away with all her might, speaking in a really impolite tone, “Stop talking about the past . That was then and now is now . You had better get up—I don't like you . ”
The moment she said that, the entire house fell into a morbid, deathly silence .
He squinted his eyes dangerously and glared at her with a gaze that no longer had the previous fervent passion as the temperature dipped rapidly, leaving nothing but an icy coldness behind .
Suddenly, Lu Yanchen's lips curled as he moved up with a hint of cynicism .
In that deafening silence, Shi Guang could only hear her heartbeat pounding heavier with each thump .
Thankfully, the phone rang again as she sat up immediately and picked up the call .
As the call connected, she looked at Lu Yanchen's back view . Suddenly realizing that it looked a tad lonely, she felt her heart jerk for a moment . Biting down on her lips hard, she warned herself never to let her heart be swayed ever again .
“Shi Guang, Shi Guang… did you hear me introduce myself?” The person on the other end sounded flustered .
“Hello, Coach Chen,” Coach Chen was Xu Zixian's coach .
“Shi Guang, this time around, you must help to talk to Zixian no matter what . Spend some time talking to her . ”
When Xu Zixian woke up in the hospital, she realized that the injury on her head was not the most severe one—it was the one on her legs . A single slight movement would send a sharp, wrenching pain coursing through her entire body . Probably because she did not have a good feeling about it, she pressed the doctor and asked about when she could get out of the hospital, as she still had to do training and go for competitions .
The doctor told her straight up that her injury would heal up as long as she were to recuperate properly .
However… she would never be able to take part in any competitions ever again .
Coach Chen was trying his best to console her . Still, Xu Zixian found it impossible to accept this cruel reality she was thrust in .
She had trained hard in swimming for ten years now, and it had already been a huge part of her life by now . As such, the burning goal she had in life was mostly to swim competitively and obtain good results .
Now that she was suddenly told the news that she would never be able to swim competitively again, there was no longer any goal for her to aspire toward .
The champion's title that she had wanted would never ever be obtained by her again .
It was only because he had no other choice that Coach Chen called Shi Guang repeatedly .
By the time Shi Guang arrived, Xu Zixian was still crying . Her head was bandaged up as her eyes were bloodshot red, and one of her legs were in a cast .
When she saw Shi Guang, steaming hot tears streamed down her face once more . She looked at Shi Guang and spoke with a tone of indignance, “I know that I'm not as gifted as you and I'm not a particularly good swimmer either, but I just don't wish to give up . I love swimming, and I only feel the happiest when I swim . ”
After all these years, swimming was already a part of her . But now that she had to leave the swimming scene professionally for life, how could she take that lying down?
