Shi Guang was ready to bike home. Unable to attend training or give lessons for the next few days, she required a good rest.
Her menstrual period had never been too accurate, always early or late by a couple of days.
Not only that, she didn’t have it really easy either. At times, she would be fine by just lying down, but at others, she would be in such pain that she would roll about on the bed in agony.
Just as she pushed her bike out, she caught sight of a person approaching her from ahead. Raising her head, she saw Yang Sitong, who had left earlier on. Shi Guang’s grip on her bike handle tightened.
Hello, Miss Shi,
Yang Sitong gave her an endearing smile.
Could I ask if there’s anything?
Shi Guang looked at her indifferently, neither welcoming nor cold. Looking at her face, Yang Sitong caught sight of a side of her cheek that was reddened as though someone had given her a slap.
She was Lu Yanchen’s private coach. There was no one in the Shen Family’s Water Cube who would dare to lay a hand on her. Except…Lu Yanchen.
Could Lu Yanchen have actually hit her?
If that were the case, she could really tell that Lu Yanchen had no special thoughts toward this female coach at all.
Secretly, she was gloating in her heart. However, she did not express that on the surface. She merely looked at Shi Guang and commented sincerely,
Earlier on, I was the one who had caused you to get scolded by Yanchen. Because I feel really bad over it, I was thinking of asking you out for a meal, Miss Shi.
Shi Guang rejected her flatly,
There’s no need.
Yang Sitong was slightly surprised. After all, the opportunities of getting to know people like them were rare. Was this female coach really not interested in going or did she have a guilty conscience?
You don’t have to stand on ceremonies, Miss Shi.
It’s nothing about being polite. I’m a coach. In a private training hall, allowing anyone in without my client’s permission was my fault, to begin with. It is also only right that I was scolded for it. Therefore, you don’t have to feel apologetic, Miss Yang.
Shi Guang replied in an extremely formal manner.
She then pushed her bike in another direction, intending to pass around Yang Sitong. However, the latter chased over again and blocked her in her path.
Miss Shi…Actually, I have a favor to ask of you other than to invite you for a meal.
Hmm?
Shi Guang replied in a soft tone while frowning, feeling a little frustrated in her heart now.
She wanted to leave this place—the faster, the better.
Earlier on, hadn’t I mentioned to you that Yanchen feels like I don’t trust him, Miss Shi? That’s the reason why he got angry at me and is ignoring me. It’s the same reason why he scolded you. I wish to seek your assistance in helping Yanchen to calm down his anger so that he would care about me again.
Yang Sitong said with a pitiable face that was fraught with worries.
I’m sorry, Miss Yang, I don’t think that I can be of help,
Shi Guang rejected her once more.
Why would that be?
I’m only a coach, and my responsibility is to teach my students to swim. Other than that, I’m not allowed to take part in anything else, neither do I wish to.
With that said, Shi Guang rode off on her bike.
Turning around to look at Shi Guang’s back view, Yang Sitong’s face was cold as she furrowed her brows slightly.
Seemed like this Shi Guang was a coach with quite a personality, someone who wouldn’t just pander to Lu Yanchen because he was good looking and someone with a good status.
This was a typical athlete; a dolt who could do nothing else but teach swimming. In her eyes, there was nothing else but glory, champion’s titles, and breaking records.
‘That should probably be the reason why she ended up as Lu Yanchen’s coach in the first place, right? Since that’s the case…very well!’
That way, she would feel more assured as well, not feeling the need to worry about anything blossoming between this woman and Lu Yanchen.
Only, why did she find this Shi Guang looking so familiar the more she looked at her?
Had they met before in the past?
