Looking at the state she was in, Lu Yanchen’s gaze darkened. “Just what is wrong?”
From the way she was standing at the entrance earlier on, something must have been wrong. “What happened?”
It didn’t matter if she talked to him with cold words and snarky remarks… It didn’t matter if she berated and scolded him, blaming him for the breakup back then. As long as she were to come look for him, he would definitely still care for her.
With her hands quivering, she extended the box in her hands slowly in front of Lu Yanchen. “…”
That was something he was familiar with.
Instantly, he knew the reason why Shi Guang was here—his mother had looked for her and explained everything to her, hence she knew that she was mistaken about him? But, based on his knowledge of her, that shouldn’t be enough for her to behave out of the norm such that she would run through the rain without a single bit of hesitation just to look for him and hug him like that.
In his lifetime, this was the only woman he could not comprehend. Neither soft nor hard tactics worked against her—he was always at a complete loss toward her.
“Achoo…!!!”
Shi Guang sneezed out loudly as her nose trembled with the chilling cold.
“Hurry and go take a hot shower,” He could ask her about it later on. For now, he was worried that she might catch a cold.
Lu Yanchen dragged her into the shower and adjusted the water for her, instructing her to stay longer in it to keep herself warm before leaving. However, Shi Guang hugged him tightly from behind the moment he turned around once more.
He felt his body froze up.
“Lu Yanchen.”
“Yes.”
“Lu Yanchennnn.”
“Yes?”
“Lu Yanchen.”
“… What are you trying to say?” She was acting really strange now. Just what sort of grievances had she suffered?
Shi Guang planted her face on his back, whispering, “I…”
She was feeling totally lost right now. It was all already in the past now and she did not know if it was right of her to bring up everything of the past once again. What if he were to get angry hearing her speak of those things again?
After she remained silent for a long time, he spoke again, “Hurry and shower if you’re not talking.”
Shi Guang remained silent still, merely hugging him even tighter.
The sensation of this woman rubbing against his back gently was enough to trigger the lust of the man. Lu Yanchen tried repressing his thoughts immediately from going too wildly.
After a moment of silence, he continued, “If you’re going to continue hugging me like this, I wouldn’t mind going to shower together with you then.”
Knowing that she was unwilling to be with him right now, he intended that as a threat to her. But to his astonishment, she chuckled and rubbed her face against his back before going softly, “Alright.”
He was absolutely astounded.
“Do you know what you’re talking about? I’m not joking with you,” His voice was solemn and his expression stoic, showing that he did not have the slightest intentions of joking about this.
Shi Guang replied in an equally serious tone, “I said alright, I want to shower together with you.”
He turned his head around to look at her, gazing at her with his inexplicably dark stare. After getting no response from him for a long time, Shi Guang pursed her lips and murmured, “Are you… despising me?”
Those were words that she would say in the past. But now… they had Lu Yanchen freezing for a good 3 seconds.
Looking at his silence, Shi Guang thought that that was the truth and that he did not want to get involved with her any longer. To that, she complained, “If you despise me, why did you get married to me still?”
Lu Yanchen: “…”
If he was truly despising her, he would not have found it so hard to control himself time and again now.
Through the reflection of his pristine, dark pupils, Shi Guang had only then realized that the way she looked with her soaking wet hair was truly wretched.
Just as she wanted to let loose of her grip on him, he held her hands. “I’m not despising you.”
Turning around completely now, he leaned over and carried her up horizontally.
