Chapter 37: Advancing Under The Guise Of Retreating
Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_
An inexplicable look flashed through Lu Yanchen’s eyes as his lips curled with a prideful arc. This had s.h.i.+ Guang blus.h.i.+ng even more. Her earlobes were so tenderly red right now that she could even force out a drip of blood from them.
In the past, Lu Yanchen would always wear nothing but a towel after taking a shower. That was a sight she had witnessed countless of times.
His figure was well built, with a broad chest and slim waist; the defined muscles of his lined his entire body perfectly. After he stripped, he would always give off this uneasy invasive feeling. Yet, his face was so seductive, giving off an indescribable charisma.
s.h.i.+ Guang held back her emotions with her best efforts as she lowered her voice while asking, “Tell me then…Just what will it take for you to get into the water?”
Lu Yanchen looked at her in silence, “…”
s.h.i.+ Guang heaved in a deep breath of air and tried her best to maintain her composure as she spoke, “Lu Yanchen, perhaps you might find that it’s alright for me to just come here after taking your money, and that whether or not you learn is your business. Or perhaps, you might think that you are just not going to get into the water no matter what, and neither do you wish to learn to swim. If that’s the case, please consider carefully to let your mother know about this. Just nice, I’m about to take part in my selection test and I have to focus and train properly. Therefore…let’s not waste one another’s time anymore.”
When she came, she had already made up her mind to teach him properly and have Lu Yanchen breakthrough, so that she herself could have a breakthrough. But…she could just take it that she was advancing under the guise of retreating then!
Lu Yanchen’s face was indifferent, without saying a single word.
And just as s.h.i.+ Guang was thinking that he was probably just going to remain silent the entire way, he declared, “I don’t have any swimming gear.”
s.h.i.+ Guang’s eyes lit up as she replied, “I can go buy for you.”
Swimming gear for a man was nothing more than just goggles and trunks. That was something simple that she could get just from the convenience store right in the Shen Family’s Water Cube! Buying and returning with it was something that would take just a few minutes!
She ran over hurriedly.
After going over to the convenience store, she speedily came back while carrying a bag.
Looking at the items displayed before him, Lu Yanchen’s deep eyes looked at s.h.i.+ Guang in a seemingly yet subtly cold glare, “What’s up with these?”
s.h.i.+ Guang replied, “Trunks…?” Gos.h.!.+ It was just a little flowery, that was all. Why did he have to give such a cold face as though he was going to eat her up?
She took up the flower trunks, “You hold on. I’ll go change to a plain colored one for you.”
Dong, dong, dong!
With those skipping sounds, s.h.i.+ Guang ran off once more.
This time around, she brought back a low-key pure black pair of trunks. With her understanding of Lu Yanchen, he should be able to accept it if it was just black.
Even though the swimming gear had arrived, Lu Yanchen was still seated down quietly without moving at all, as though he had no intention of changing or getting into the water.
s.h.i.+ Guang’s expression right now was a little stoned: “…”
Lu Yanchen’s gaze moved from the swimming gear over to s.h.i.+ Guang’s face as he said emotionlessly, “I didn’t say that I’ll go change after you buy them over.”
s.h.i.+ Guang: “…”
‘You kidding me?’
Right now, she wanted to flip the chair on the spot. But, holding back that temper of hers, she chanted to herself in her mind, ‘Coax him…Coax him…Coax him!’
Carefully considering her words, she asked, “So, tell me then. What will get you into the water?”
“We’ll see then.” He left her with those three cold words as he continued playing with his phone.
s.h.i.+ Guang stood where she was and fixated her glare at Lu Yanchen’s face without blinking at all…it was as though she was trying to see through him.
Lu Yanchen responded with a casual glance and extended his hand to reach for his cup.
The water in his cup was empty. He wanted to get a staff member to pour water for him. But, when he noticed that there was no one around, his gaze s.h.i.+fted over back onto s.h.i.+ Guang, implying for her to get him a cup of water.
Looking at how somebody was still acting like a big boss, s.h.i.+ Guang literally rolled her eyes internally.
Her long slender fingers which were slumped beside her body tapped at her thighs gently as she hesitated, “Fine, I can go get water for you. At the same time, I’m not going to force you to get into the water. But if I get water for you, I want you to go look at the water by the poolside.”
