His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

The past was already gone—no matter how close they were together in the past, she had nothing to do with it anymore. The breakup might have become a knot in her heart; a barrier she could not overcome.

However, this was how life was.

When she thought about how the question of asking him why he broke up with her in the past popped up in her mind earlier on, she felt as though she was the greatest joke of this century.

Shi Guang's lips curled into one of self-mockery.

She couldn't think about anything unnecessary anymore. Her priority right now was training and more training…

The only thing that wouldn't let her down was her own hard work put into training!

The next day, Shi Guang arrived half an hour earlier than usual. When she arrived at the pool, she was surprised to find out that He Xinnuo, who was always lazy toward training, had arrived even earlier than she did!

Well, it didn't matter. Whatever He Xinnuo's reason for this sudden enthusiasm was, Shi Guang was only concerned about improving herself.

By the time she had done some warm-ups and swam for a couple of laps, some of the other swimmers arrived by the pool. Following Zhang Shulin's instructions, Shi Guang began her own adjustments.

It was then that she noticed that He Xinnuo seemed to be pitting herself against her.

Each time Shi Guang swam a lap, He Xinnuo would mimic her—not only that, she would even try to beat her timing by a few seconds intentionally.

Feeling nothing but amusement over it, Shi Guang couldn't be less bothered as she continued swimming at her own pace with a relaxed mood. She bore a peace that seemed as though nothing could penetrate or affect her mental state—she was still as calm waters.

Although, what she did not know was that the more she behaved as such, the more He Xinnuo wanted to pit herself against her.

He Xinnuo hated Shi Guang's indifference toward her.

Every single cell within He Xinnuo's body was screaming out to tear away that nonchalance of Shi Guang. To her, Shi Guang's calmness was akin to a form of disdain, as though He Xinnuo couldn't even come close to being a competitor.

How could she not get riled up over that?

Rushing over at Shi Guang, she barked out, "Shi Guang, I should be the one taking Lane four today!"

There were a total of eight lanes in a pool.

The best swimmer in the group would usually be arranged for Lane four. As for the other swimmers, they would be arranged in Lane five, three, six, two, seven, one, and eight according to their results, prioritizing the better ones first.

He Xinnuo's reason for wanting to snatch Lane four over was naturally to prove that she was better than Shi Guang.

Shi Guang merely cast a single glance at He Xinnuo, who was at the epitome of haughtiness right now, and continued swimming at her own pace.

For normal training, there was absolutely no difference in choosing lanes usually—everyone would just swim wherever they wanted to.

Being ignored as though she was thin air had He Xinnuo so angry that her fists were curled into a ball.

She burst forth from the waters and stood upright beside the pool, looking down at Shi Guang who was still in it as she pointed out with her finger and spat in rage, "Y-You! Who do you think you are? Do you think that you can walk around flamboyantly and horizontally like a crab just because you've seduced two men?"

Her voice was exceptionally sharp and it drew the attention of everyone in the training hall immediately. Everyone was just confounded and confused, wondering what was going on. But of course, no one said anything at all.

Shi Guang maintained her composure and raised her eyelids over at He Xinnuo lazily. "Who's the one acting like a crab now? Who's the one walking all horizontally now? How fierce…! Well, actually, you don't really have to get all hasty now to announce to the world how YOU seduced two men. It's a secret everyone knows about."

Her lips curled up into a mocking taunt as though she was watching a clown who was performing…

He Xinnuo's face was flushed red thoroughly as she snarled, "Y-You…!"

She could sense the weird expressions of everyone around her, signs of contempt and disdain concealed within them, as she roared out furiously, "What are you guys looking at? She was clearly the one! What are you guys looking at me for?"

With that, she turned around and walked away.

By the time Wu Xing found He Xinnuo, she was hiding outside the training hall and smoking. Stepping ahead right away, he asked, "What's going on with you? Didn't I tell you not to smoke anymore?"

"Isn't it just a single stick of cigarette? What's the big deal?" He Xinnuo was totally indifferent.
