Biting on the side of his lips, Lu Yanchen looked a little uneasy from the side of his face. “Put your hand out.”

Shi Guang had been looking at him from the start, wondering what he was up to. She blinked her eyes puzzledly and hesitated for a moment before putting her hand out. Lu Yanchen took out a number of lollipops from his pocket in an assortment of flavors, placing them all on her hand.

Because she could not hold them all with one hand, Shi Guang hurriedly used her other hand to support them. “What are you giving me so many lollipops for?”

“Weren’t you the one who said that eating a sweet before swimming would help to stabilize the blood sugar so that one’s body could maintain itself in a good status and swim well?”

“But I’m not even swimming now?”

“You’ve also said that eating sweets can help balance one’s emotions, and that one should eat sweets when they’re not feeling good.”

With that said, he turned his head around.

Shi Guang was stunned.

These were words that she would always use to coax him to eat sweets back when they were together!

It had already been so long now—to think that he would still remember them!

She surveyed Lu Yanchen’s expression closely. Even though it was still calm as usual, she could make out a trace of difference.

Ever since they had reunited, he would definitely help her out when she was in trouble.

When she was sad, he would console her.

She was only his ex-girlfriend. Why was he being so nice to her?

She had not once considered that he might have some motive behind his actions. However, he was always so low profile in the way he helped her out.

In fact, he was even concealing it at times, and had no intention of letting her know at all.

Taking the incident of He Xinnuo framing her for example, if she had not overheard the conversation between Boss Lei and Zhang Shulin, she would not have known till now that Lu Yanchen was the one who was helping her from behind her back.

Yang Sitong had mentioned to her that Lu Yanchen had never been able to forget that ex-girlfriend of his for all these years.

That was his most beloved, his first love.

Chu Mubei seemed to have said something similar before as well, even mentioning that his ex-girlfriend was a trash woman.

Before they had broken up, they hadn’t even quarreled once. At that, Shi Guang could not help but wonder.

The sudden break-up back then... Could he have had some difficulties, or could he have actually misunderstood something?

Within Shi Guang’s heart were a flux of emotions that were spilling out uncontrollably. She needed time to calm herself down.

Suddenly, Lu Yanchen’s voice drifted out once more, “Go home after you’re done eating.”

Those complex emotions of hers were instantly sent flying away at that comment as Shi Guang really could not help herself but laugh out.

Did he think she was a kid? First were the sweets, and after she was done, she had to go home?

“I’m not going back for now... You can head back first.” She still wanted some time to be alone.

“You’re not a 3-year-old. Don’t do things that a 3-year-old would.”

Shi Guang’s face = 囧

Asking her not to behave like a 3-year-old when he himself was coaxing her like a 3-year-old child =.=

She glanced over at a claw machine nearby and said, “Who’s going to do anything that a 3-year-old would? I just want to play that before heading back.”

Lu Yanchen followed the direction she pointed at with her finger—it was a claw machine placed outside the small store he had entered.

He scoffed at her, “You? Forget it!”

Shi Guang pursed her lips. “Don’t look down on me. I’m really good at catching stuff!”

Lu Yanchen was indifferent; every single inch of his handsome face spelled complete disbelief.

“You don’t believe? You wait and see. I’ll catch one to show you!” With that said, Shi Guang stood up to go exchange for tokens.

There were two claw machines in front of the store. Comparing both for a while, Shi Guang felt that the one on the right seemed easier and entered her token. Immediately, the music of the claw machine sounded out as Shi Guang moved the joystick. After aiming, she pressed down...n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
