Chapter 47 : Lu Yanchen, I Like You (1)
Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_Shi Guang was someone who was easily embarrassed as she turned around and tried to leave, feeling super awkward. She returned to the small store as her cousin ended her classes as well, thus leaving together.
As for that boy, she merely took him as a single beautiful moment that had appeared in her life, dazzling and radiant like the Sun, yet not someone that would belong to her.
After having dinner with her cousin, Mo Jin, they went to the library together.
As she was looking for a book her cousin wanted, she casually turned her gaze to the right and discovered a suave young man sitting at a long table beneath the window. He bore a disposition of coldness that rejected everyone thousands of miles away from him.
It was him.
The boy named Lu Yanchen.
His figure was strikingly beautiful.
Shi Guang found herself unable to peel away her gaze from him for the longest time. He was still donned in his school uniform while wearing that same peaked cap. Reading his book quietly, he was as cold and aloof as one could be.
Standing beside her, Mo Jin said tons of things to Shi Guang. When she realized that she was taking nothing in, she turned around at her, only to find her staring ahead fixatedly as though she was in a daze.
From her angle, Mo Jin could not make out Lu Yanchen at all.
“Shi Guang, what’s wrong with you?” Mo Jin raised her hand and waved it before her face. “What are you looking at?”
Snapping to her senses, Shi Guang smiled gleefully while raising her brows. “I’m looking at… him?”
“Him? Who?” Mo Jin moved from her position slightly and followed Shi Guang’s line of vision. When she caught sight of Lu Yanchen, she froze up momentarily.
Retracting her gaze, she looked at Shi Guang and whispered. “That’s Lu Yanchen!”
“Yupps.” Shi Guang knew that his name was Lu Yanchen. After all, she had heard that muscular young man calling him out earlier on when she was watching them play basketball.
“He’s the fourth Young Master of the Lu Family, Lu Yanchen!!” Mo Jin added on. “Lu Family…Surely, you must know about them, right?”
Petrified, Shi Guang nearly dropped the books in her hands.
She went silent for a few moments before breaking out into a smile and sniggering out at Mo Jin elatedly, “I’m going to chase him.”
“What!” For a moment, Mo Jin thought that she was hearing things. Her entire face grimaced. “He’s Lu Yanchen! What kind of joke are you making?”
“I’m not joking! I like him and I’m going to chase him!” Shi Guang’s smile was bright as she then walked toward Lu Yanchen briskly.
Sitting down opposite him, Shi Guang called out softly, “Lu Yanchen!”
The boy raised his head as his deep, black gaze silently surveyed her for a moment. Shi Guang looked him straight in the eye and introduced herself, “Hello, I’m Shi Guang…”
Lu Yanchen said nothing, merely watching her coldly.
Gulping her saliva, Shi Guang’s petite face was nervous and embarrassed as she spouted out the words from the bottom of her heart, “Lu Yanchen, I like you!”
A trace of surprise flashed across those usually nonchalant eyes of Lu Yanchen momentarily. For a person like him who would never show any trace of emotions usually, this was the first time he was left tongue-tied.
He could only stare vacantly at this absolutely ordinary girl who had just confessed to him.
No matter who it was, he was always cold and distant toward them. Without any need for words, that naturally icy arrogance he exuded would just normally give off an imposing pressure through any movement he made and words he spoke—it was enough to keep those girls who liked him far at bay.
All he required was a single cold look for them to give up on their pursuits. That was why there had never been anyone who had such courage to try confessing to him as such, telling him that they liked him.
“S-Sorry! Apologies! We were just playing Truth or Dare!” A voice rang over that broke the awkward tension in the air.
