Chapter 265: The Love Has Always Been There (5)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ever since Lu Yanchen had left that night, Shi Guang had not caught sight of him again. She was the only one left in that gigantic villa.
At the start, the place did not seem that huge to her. But now that she was staying there alone for the past two days, she could not help but feel that this entire place seemed like a humongous cave.
It wasn’t that Shi Guang had not thought about giving Lu Yanchen a call in between to ask about him. But on 2nd thought, she could not have asked for anything more than for him to not stay in this villa with her.
She had initially thought of just moving back to her apartment to stay just like that, but the circuitry back at her place were not done yet. Since school was just about to start in a couple of days, she might as well just stay at Lu Yanchen’s villa till school reopened, since he wasn’t there anyway.
Without Lu Yanchen’s presence, Shi Guang did not have to give him lessons, and thus headed over to the nursing home to visit her sister in the afternoon. By the time she went back, night had already fallen.
She did not feel like cooking, and thus sat down in a beef noodle shop outside the neighborhood. Just as she was eating her noodles, the voices of a couple having a tiff nearby drifted over.
“Today is the 7th of the 7th 1 and you’re only treating me to a bowl of beef noodles? You’re not even bringing me out for a movie...!”
“It’s not that I don’t want to watch, but there’s really too many people outside. I didn’t expect that we would have to queue up just to get a meal! Even the cinema tickets are all sold out! I’ll just make it up to you tomorrow alright?”
“But tomorrow is not valentine’s day anymore!”
“It’s valentine’s day for us every day!”
...
When she heard their tiff, Shi Guang then realized that today was the Chinese valentine’s day. No wonder everyone out on the streets were all in pairs.
She smiled as she continued to eat her noodles. The squabbling of that couple from earlier on had her reminded of some things in the past.
It was also on the 7th of the 7th back then. But at that time, Lu Yanchen was still her boyfriend, and they had arranged to go for a movie on the 7th of the 7th.
Because their relationship was in a confidential status back then, she told everyone that Lu Yanchen was her elder brother.
On the 7th of the 7th, Lu Yanchen had come to pick her up after school, and was spotted by her classmates. Because somebody had such a handsome face that even the heavens would be jealous over, some of her classmates fell in love at first sight and leered at him.
With an infatuated look, her classmates looked at Lu Yanchen while tugging at her sleeves. “Shi Guang, does your brother have a girlfriend?”
From the side of her eyes, she could see the eyeballs of her classmates almost popping out as she sweated. “He... probably, I guess, I suppose...?” Clearly, he had one—her!
Before she could even finish, her classmates cut her in her words, “Definitely not, right? Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly be coming to pick his sister up on valentine’s day rather than going to pick his girlfriend up.”
“...” Well, her classmate made sense as Shi Guang found no way to retort at all.
“Well, I want to court your brother! Help me, Shi Guang!”
Instantly, all of her classmates looked over at her with hopeful expressions just like young little ladies who could not wait to pander to his affections, scaring her as she waved her hands fervently. “D-odododon’t!”
Her classmates looked at her confusedly. “Why?”
She naturally couldn’t tell them that it was because he was her boyfriend! In a moment of panic, she declared, “I think my brother’s... gay!”
The first thought that came to her classmates was shock. But, they accepted the facts quickly with an expression that was only right. “... That’s right. It’d be such a waste for such a handsome man to not be a gay.”
Shi Guang’s face = 囧!!
But that was not the worst. Of all things, Lu Yanchen had even caught wind of their remarks!
At that time, he said nothing much about it, and they continued on their date. When it came to time for dinner and movie, they were met with the same situation as that couple earlier on.
There were long queues for food while there were no tickets left for the movies. Hence, they just got a little something to eat before heading back to his rented apartment.
The person whom she had claimed was gay whisked her onto the bed right away...
