Shi Guang's gaze lingered at the direction where Yang Sitong left as she gripped her hands tightly. God knew how much restraint she had to use just so that she could bear with every single bit of emotion she hid within her.

When Lu Yanchen saw Shi Guang's expression after coming out, he was stunned momentarily.

He did not move either, merely looking at Shi Guang just like that.

By the time Shi Guang realized that he was behind her, her heart skipped a beat. It was a feeling of having a secret discovered by someone as she felt an inexplicable sense of embarrassment.

And because this person who had discovered it was Lu Yanchen, there was an added sense of wretchedness and helplessness.

She smiled, hiding her emotions. However, it was still evident that she was considerably weaker. "You've changed. Let's begin our lesson then."

Lu Yanchen did not move as he gazed at her with his deep eyes that were so sharp that they seemed to want to pierce through her and discover the secret hiding in the innermost depths of her heart.

Shi Guang lowered her gaze and walked toward the mountain of training equipment. "Today, we're going to practice lifting our legs up with a kickboard and floating in the water by hugging a water polo ball."

Squatting down beside the equipment, she picked up the ball that was above the kickboard and tossed it to her side casually.

Because she was distracted, seeming as though she was in a trance, she did not realize that there was a wall in the direction where she tossed the ball.

Bang!

The ball rebounded back.

Of all coincidences, it struck her right on her face.

"Ahh!!" Because of the pain, Shi Guang yelped out as the heavy blow by the ball caused her to fall onto the ground after she lost her balance.

Upon hearing her voice, Lu Yanchen felt his heart skip a beat the moment he turned around instinctively to see her falling. He could not help but head over toward her, as though he had discovered a cherished puppet of his that had lost its string.

Supporting her with his arm, he settled her down on a chair nearby and leaned over to check on her by habit. "Where are you hurt? Let me see."

"My face..."

Her face burned hot as though someone had just given her a tight slap.

"I've never seen you be so stupid before." Lu Yanchen extended a finger and touched her face.

Shi Guang flinched as the pain was so stinging that her tears were almost falling out. "Gentler..."

The mark left on her face by the ball was distinct, and there were even some signs of a slight swelling.

The club had first aid kits and ice packs. Lu Yanchen took out a bandage from the first aid kit before wrapping the ice pack in it. "Lift your face. Apply this."

"Alright, thank you!" Shi Guang reached out, wanting to take the ice pack.

However, Lu Yanchen pushed her away. "Get lost, clumsy fool!"

He then took the ice pack and pressed it on Shi Guang's face gently. It was cold and comfortable, yet a little numbing and painful at the same time.

Squinting her brows, Shi Guang shrieked out a little, "Gentler please!"

All would have been fine if she had not said it. But after she did, Lu Yanchen used even more strength. "You deserve it."

The pain was so much that Shi Guang grit down on her teeth and tried to move back a little instinctively. "What are you doing?"

Lu Yanchen ordered, "You're not allowed to move!"

Shi Guang was sweating: "It stings!"

Lu Yanchen lectured, "If it doesn't, how will you remember this?"

"... Ahh! Gentler."

Lu Yanchen stole a glance at her. "Are you done with the screaming? People who don't know might even think that I'm doing something to you."

Shi Guang, "..."

囧!

Ever since he turned into a soldier, he was someone who didn't know how to cherish beauties at all! She said nothing more lest he had any more comments, merely continuing to move back.

Feeling impatient, Lu Yanchen reached out with a single hand to hold the back of her head, wanting to pull her back.

As his body leaned in, their noses rubbed against one another as their breaths intertwined together. Their lips closed in...leaving nothing but a distance of one centimeter...
