Filled with chagrin, Lu Yanchen pushed Shi Guang away and headed up.
Actually, he had heard her the first time around when she said that she was cramping up. However, with his understanding of her, the way her voice was so relaxed, he could tell that she was lying immediately, and thus did not pay much attention to her.
But, who knew that she suddenly started sinking down in the blink of an eye without any reaction at all!
It wasn’t that he hadn’t considered the fact that she might still just be lying about it, but he truly could not control his panic; and without further thought, he dove right into the waters.
When it was confirmed that she was lying, his worry turned into frustration… frustrated at how she was making light of things and frustrated at how he could not control his own emotions.
How could anyone not question whether another person’s 180-degree change in attitude was weird? He would definitely not believe that she could suddenly wake up one day and feel that she had done him wrong and realize that she was in love with him.
At the side, Xiao Bai asked worriedly, “Big sister, how are you?”
“I’m fine,” Shi Guang smiled before patting at Xiao Bai’s head then looking at Lu Yanchen and smiling still.
He ignored her and turned his body away, that prideful and cold attitude making it seem as though the entire place was enclosed within a thousand-year-old icicle.
His white shirt was thoroughly soaked and his masculine muscles were faintly discernible. Even his pants were wet, revealing those alluring curves around his waist and bum.
It was both charming and bewitching.
Shi Guang handed him a towel. “Wipe yourself!”
Lu Yanchen did not take it over and turned around, wanting to walk away. However, Shi Guang draped the towel around him and hugged him conveniently as well just like a koala bear. “Alright, don’t get angry anymore.”
When Xiao Bai saw his little uncle and big sister hugging together, he could not help but cover his eyes immediately. Yet, he also could not help but sneak peeks through the gaps in his fingers.
Lu Yanchen stood there still. “What are you doing? Let go!”
Shi Guang pursed her lips in a sorry manner. “You said that you were too tolerant with me. In what way?”
Lu Yanchen eyed her coldly. “…”
“See, you’re throwing your coldness at me from time to time. Thankfully, it’s autumn now and I can deal with this little bit of aircon. What if you were to treat me like this in the winter? I might just freeze to death if you’re not careful!”
Lu Yanchen immediately did not know to laugh or cry.
Even though he seemed as though his anger had subsided, he still peeled Shi Guang’s hands off and walked out.
When Shen Lingshuang returned, she bumped into him and exclaimed, “My, son! You entered the waters too? But, why did you not change into your swimwear?”
“I’ve got something on… will be heading off first,” Lu Yanchen did not respond to her why and left with that.
Xiao Bai ran toward Shen Lingshuang and had her bend down while he whispered in her ears, “I saw big sister hugging little uncle! Kissy kissy!”
His voice was neither too soft nor too loud, just nice for the both of them to hear.
Shen Lingshuang chuckled immediately, “Hoho…!”
Shi Guang’s face flushed red. “…”
Since when did they kiss? They were merely hugging a little! This liar of a Xiao Bai!
…
Shi Guang looked at her phone for the Nth time. Lu Yanchen had not texted or called her after leaving in a huff, and she did not know if he was over it by now. Hesitating for a moment, she composed a message. Initially, she addressed him at Lu Yanchen, but she changed it after thinking.
<Hubby, I’m at the hospital, but I’m already done with what I have to. Shall we have dinner later together?”
She did not get a reply.
After a while, Shi Guang thought for a moment and sent another text.
<If you don’t reply, I’ll take your silence as consent. I’ll wait for you outside the hospital at 6pm heh!>
It was as though he had disappeared without a trace.
