His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

Shi Guang felt that the boundaries between her and Lu Yanchen were getting a little murky now. She should draw a line for herself and make sure that she was forbidden from crossing it ever.

After calming down, she strode out and took her bag, wanting to head home. She had barely taken two steps before he called out behind her, "Hold on!"

"Is there anything else?" Shi Guang turned around.

"If I haven't recalled wrongly, you still owe me a meal."

Shi Guang was stunned, "…"

Since when had she owed him a meal? She could not recall it at all.

Looking at her, Lu Yanchen knew that she had clearly forgotten about it thoroughly as he reminded kindly, "Braised meat, steamed fish?"

The moment she heard that, Shi Guang understood as her entire forehead wrinkled with a frown.

It's already been so long and yet he still remembered something like that? Furthermore, wasn't it all because of him that she had to avoid Yang Sidan that day?

She had just made it clear to herself that she wanted to establish their boundaries, and here she was going to make him a meal right away? She rejected him and pursed her lips. "I don't wish to cook today."

"Then we'll go outside and randomly get something. You'll foot the bill," Lu Yanchen did not allow her to make excuses as he started walking right after he spoke.

Shi Guang said nothing and merely followed.

Lu Yanchen did not drive, and was just walking out carefreely. While Shi Guang did not know where he was going or what he wanted to eat, she had already made up her mind-she wasn't going to pay for anything that was too expensive.

He walked on the left of the pavement and she walked on the right.

Just like that, none of them spoke or looked at the other.

Exiting the neighborhood, Lu Yanchen walked into a Hunan cuisine restaurant with a simple decor. He casually ordered two dishes and a soup, and left Shi Guang to order the last remaining dish.

She peered at the menu and caught sight of a Supreme Cow's Triple Treasure. Thinking that it was simply beef and given the fact that there was a 'Recommended' word after the dish, she ordered it.

Lu Yanchen was pouring tea when he heard Shi Guang ordering the dish. His hand jerked slightly as he raised his head and peered at her strangely. However, he said nothing more.

After she was done ordering, Shi Guang used the tea to rinse her chopsticks by habit and looked over at Lu Yanchen who was opposite her-he did not seem as though he had the intention to do so as well.

He just took up the cup and drank a sip of tea.

"You're not going to rinse them first?"

"There's no need."

If anyone else were to say that, she wouldn't have thought much of it. But this was Lu Yanchen! She was surprised.

She knew how much of a clean freak he was, and how he didn't like to eat food outside. When she brought him to shops as such occasionally, he would rinse their chopsticks and utensils at least three times!

But now, he wasn't even rinsing a single time? Was he being possessed by someone else?

Catching sight of her surprised gaze, Lu Yanchen knew what was going on in her mind.

He placed his cup down and replied indifferently, "A year ago, I was in the special forces. People there did not mind about such stuff, neither did they allow anyone to mind about such stuff."

This was the first time the two of them had spoken about anything in the two years that they were away from the other party.

Shi Guang asked casually, "Is it fun in the special forces?"

Lu Yanchen looked at her coldly. "Be it high ranking or not, anyone in the special forces would have to engage in warfare in the wilderness with such proficiency that it's 2nd nature. The conditions are tough, and the environment abominable. At times, if you're hungry and have no other choice, you would have to eat raw meat. Does that sound fun?"

Shi Guang was stunned for a moment, realizing that she had said something wrong.

She knew that it was tough in the special forces. The fact that chances of them surviving on missions were slim aside, even the normal training they had to face was hard enough.

Only, she had thought that because his father was the big boss of the area, he should have an easier time within given his status. Perhaps he might not be given the slack during training, but he might be excluded from some of the super dangerous missions, right?

Clearly, she had thought wrong.
