His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

The temperature was starting to dip in October as autumn's frost started to set in. The people out on the streets were starting to put on thicker layers of clothes as the weather had a hint of winter in it. Despite that, the selection finals were still going on heatedly at the province's Ministry of Sports' training hall.

This year's selection finals were way more happening than the previous years. That was because the annual National Champions Cup would be held in their province this year.

Therefore, the provincial team paid particular emphasis toward this year's team. Out of their existing swimmers, there were some that were slightly weaker in some events. As such, they wanted to seek out some new talents to fight for a champion's title for the province.

Because of that, the training hall's situation was different from the day of the preliminary heats. There were many spectators for the finals, and the entire viewing area was filled.

Mo Jin brought her mother and grandma to watch the finals as well, and was surprised to see support banners and cards for Shi Guang!

While observing that, she brought them over to sit at the area of Shi Guang's fan group.

Seems like this lass is doing rather well for her to already have fans before even entering the provincial team!

If Sister Feifei were to wake up and see this, she would definitely be overwhelmed with joy.

Shi Guang stood at the preparation area and looked around the viewing area. It was only until she had spotted her grandma and the others that she returned to the back area.

Everyone else had already changed into their swimsuits and were standing in groups of twos and threes, chatting with one another. Even though they were all competitors, the atmosphere was still rather comfortable and easy-going.

Xu Zixian sat beside Shi Guang and with both her hands at her neck, asked out softly, "Shi Guang, are you nervous?"

Shi Guang looked at her and smiled calmly, "I'm alright. What about you?"

Xu Zixian bit down on her lips and patted her cheeks. "Nervous, I'm really nervous! What should I do?"

"Relax, take it as your normal training," Even though Shi Guang looked calm on the surface, she was actually really nervous as well. Despite her coach telling her that it would be no issue for her to enter the provincial team with her standards, she was still worried that there would be some mishap.

She just didn't want anyone to know about the uneasiness in her heart.

Xu Zixian took in a deep breath. After a moment, her gaze landed on Shi Guang's phone case as she smiled and asked, "That's so cute! Your boyfriend gave it to you?"

Shi Guang looked down at her phone and shook her head. "No, my cousin gave it to me."

"Oh," Xu Zixian asked again, "Right, you said that you were going to get married on Weibo! Is that for real? How long have you guys been together for? You're already getting married?"

"It's alright I guess, the time we've been together hasn't been that long or short. However, getting married has nothing to do with the duration of us being together."

"But, you're still attending university, right? Would your family agree to you getting married?" As Xu Zixian said that, she took out a bottle of mineral water from her bag. Opening the cap, she wanted to drink. But when she realized that there was Shi Guang still, she capped the bottle back.

Handing her water over to Shi Guang, she took out another bottle from her bag. "If it were me, I think my parents would kill me. Also, I don't want to get married this early."

Shi Guang took the mineral water over and twisted it a little, replying calmly, "My parents are no longer around, and my grandma wants me to get married earlier."

Xu Zixian's mouth opened wide as she apologized profusely, "S-Sorry! I didn't know…"

Shi Guang smiled, "It's alright. It's been a long time now. Have you done your warmups yet?"

"Yeaps, just waiting for the event to start now," With that said, Xu Zixian took a sip of her mineral water before secretly eyeing the water in Shi Guang's hands.

Shi Guang, who was looking at her, stiffened momentarily.

When Xu Zixian met with Shi Guang's gaze, she smiled and continued to drink her water.

Shi Guang lowered her head silently, looking really contemplative as she held onto the cap of the mineral water. Her fingers twirled in circles around the bottle cap for a long time without opening it.

No one knew what she was thinking with that sweet, cute face of hers.
