The morning came, and Shi Guang arrived on the 12th floor. She had wanted to head in straight, but when she thought about the inexplicable and strange behavior of Lu Yanchen yesterday, she reached out and pressed the doorbell instead.
It was only when no one responded that she keyed in the passcode and entered.
Just like the previous two days, there seemed to be no one in the house. However, the door to the bedroom was closed today.
‘Could Lu Yanchen still be sleeping inside?’
She walked over and knocked on the door, but no one responded.
Bending down, she knelt down at the door entrance and listened in–it was totally quiet. He should have gone out.
Shi Guang went back to the living room. As she fed Little Goody some dried anchovies, she mumbled out softly, “What has the owner of this house been doing the past few days? Why has he been going out early and returning only late at night? Not only that, he seemed strange last night. He knocked into me on purpose when he passed by me, right? I haven’t seen him for the past few days; hence I naturally couldn’t have offended him. Why did he throw a tantrum at me for no reason then? Did he throw a tantrum at… you too? Little Goody, if he does that, don’t mind it or hold it against him alright? He’s just… in a bad mood. Don’t worry, he’s not going to hit you…”
Biting onto dried anchovies, Little Goody mewed out gently. Shi Guang chuckled and fed him yet another one.
After leaving Lu Yanchen’s place, she headed for the club. She had thought that things would remain the same as the past few days where she didn’t have to give Lu Yanchen lessons; hence she arranged to meet with Huo Zhan and Li Fangfei.
Unexpectedly, she received a text from Lu Yanchen when she was having lunch in the afternoon. It was an address for the lesson later on.
To think that it would be in the neighborhood they lived in!
Only, this was the southern side–the most luxurious part of the neighborhood with only villas there. However, there were fewer residents there, and most of the villas were mostly left empty for the larger part of the year.
It was almost 3 pm when Shi Guang arrived at the location–a villa with three stories, a garden, and equipped with a heater and a swimming pool.
When she arrived, Lu Yanchen was wearing a bathing robe and lying down on a beach chair beside the pond casually, looking particularly contented.
Shi Guang greeted him and peered at him–he had no expression at all.
As the lesson went on, he said nothing for the entire duration and was especially silent. It was as though there was no difference from how he usually was.
However, Shi Guang could not shrug off the feeling that there was something off about today.
When they were having their break in between, Shi Guang received a call from Li Fangfei, “Huo Zhan has already headed out to pick you up. It has already been some time. Prepare your stuff–he should be arriving soon.”
Shi Guang slapped her forehead – she had forgotten to inform Huo Zhan and Li Fangfei that she had lessons this afternoon. “I’m so, so sorry! I was informed at the last minute that there was going to be a lesson today and I forgot to tell you guys. I’m not at the club. I’m at the neighborhood I stay in.”
“I’ll drop Huo Zhan a text then and ask him to pick you up from your place,” As Li Fangfei said that, she started typing a text to Huo Zhan.
“I’m having the lesson right now.”
“Can’t you ask for a day off?”
If the coach had something on, they COULD ask for leave. However… Shi Guang hesitated. Lu Yanchen had been behaving rather weirdly in the past few days with a bad mood. Would he agree to it?
“… The arrogant student has been rather moody the past few days.”
“Women get moody because they get their periods. Do men get periods as well?” Li Fangfei mocked.
Shi Guang could not help but chuckle out as she turned around to look at Lu Yanchen. Suddenly, the man raised his head as she fell into his line of sight by surprise.
It was a testing and invasive gaze from him…
