Chapter 255: Who Locked Her Up? (5)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Shi Guang changed into her swimsuit at her fastest possible speed. But even then, she was still late eventually. By the time she rushed out, the event had just started with the firing of the starting pistol.

She was just that close...

Shi Guang’s body went limp as she stumbled back a few steps, wobbling unsteadily.

Zhang Shulin’s face was dark as thunderclouds. However, when he caught sight of the defeated look on her face, he found himself incapable of getting angry. He could only sigh out to himself; he knew that she didn’t want this to happen at all. More than anyone else, she had placed an extreme emphasis on this competition.

Even though he did not know what had gone on earlier or why she didn’t appear, he knew that this must definitely not be what she had wanted.

He walked beside Shi Guang and consoled, “It’s only a Flying Fish Cup, don’t put it to heart. As for the provincial team’s selection test spot, we can just try that over again, that’s all!”

Even though Shi Guang had been trying her best to hold it in the entire day, the more she thought about it, the more she wanted to cry. With her utmost perseverance, she held everything in and called out in a quivering voice, “Coach...”

“I’m sorry!” Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind them. Shi Guang turned around and caught sight of Cheng Qi and that man who had scolded her. The face of that man was apologetic as he said rather embarrassedly, “I’m sorry! I didn’t know that you were rushing off for the competition earlier on.”

If not for that short delay earlier on, Shi Guang might not have missed the event. Zhang Shulin barked at them, “What’s the use of apologizing? Hmph!”

With that said, he pulled Shi Guang away with him.

Shi Guang did not blame them—she blamed the person who had locked her up! She would definitely not forgive that person!

By the time she had changed back into her clothes, the event had ended as everyone crowded back.

Because she had gotten the 3rd place, Xu Zixian was rather elated. But when she caught sight of Shi Guang, that bit of happiness disappeared entirely as she ran over to the latter with a worried expression. “Shi Guang, where had you gone to earlier? I tried looking for you everywhere but I just couldn’t find you!”

Packing her bag, Shi Guang did not look at her at all. She curled her lips, yet she could not bring herself to smile.

The only person she was suspecting was Xu Zixian.

However, she had no evidence, and she did not want to accuse anyone out of nowhere; thus she said nothing at all.

Xu Zixian found herself stiffening on the spot, with her mind in a blank daze.

She had most probably not expected that Shi Guang would treat her as such—she could sense the sort of distance and coldness the latter was putting between them. Her heart was filled with a throbbing pain that stung her eyes into a gradual redness. She really wanted to cry out right now.

However, Shi Guang still did not look at her. Instead, she took her bag and turned around, leaving the place.

Because she was afraid that Xu Zixian might be the culprit, she did not want to talk to her. But at the same time, she was afraid that she might have misunderstood Xu Zixian, and did not want to say anything overly nasty.

...

Looking at her empty lane, Chu Mubei frowned. “Where is Little Sister Shi Guang?”

He left the viewing area to look for Lu Yanchen. After looking around, he finally found the latter walking down the stairs. “Shi Guang is not going to compete?”

When he heard that, Lu Yanchen’s eyes darkened as his face turned blacker than black. “She did not manage to make it?”

His eyes were pitch black like a bottomless abyss. Chu Mubei, who was so familiar with his character, knew that Lu Yanchen was thoroughly incensed right now.

He nodded his head. “That’s right. She did not manage to make it. What happened?”

Lu Yanchen explained the entire issue briefly before handing the signal jammer over to Chu Mubei. “In our country, something like this is not available to just about anyone. Every single product has its unique serial number for recognition. Go check it out. I want to know just who did it!”

Chu Mubei harrumphed out coldly, “To think that this person would dare lay their hands on Little Sister Shi Guang! Your Father is going to whisk them out!”

*Note that at the last part, Chu Mubei was referring to himself as Your Father. It’s similar to how someone would refer to themselves as Yours Truly. Cheers!*
