Can You Be Any...Stupider?

Shi Guang's eyes widened up in shock, filled with complete disbelief. She was speechless right now, feeling nothing but hilarity over how laughable the entire situation was.

She had clearly done nothing at all. Yet, He Xinnuo was the one acting as though she was the victim, looking like she had been bullied for a long time now.

If one were to describe her feelings at the start as being taken aback by the surprise attack, perhaps even somewhat angered, she was extremely calm and steady right now.

"He Xinnuo, can you be any… more stupid?" Her lips curled up with a tinge of both mockery and pity.

Why did she have to spend her days thinking about all these politics and quarrels? As athletes, shouldn't their jobs be to better themselves and work hard at training?

The Heavens might let down someone who had worked hard, but they would never let down people who had always worked hard.

Why couldn't she understand that logic?

Being scolded was something that was within He Xinnuo's predictions.

What she wanted was exactly for Shi Guang to scold her so that she could show how pitiable she looked, solidifying her status as the victim.

But when she caught sight of how calm Shi Guang had gotten as though she couldn't care less, He Xinnuo could not help but let out a flash of coldness streak through her expression once more.

"Even when a rabbit is pushed to their limits, they would bite. You thought that I would get used to your bullying, but right now, I really can't take it anymore! At times, you're really just too much! Forget it! Rather than being bullied by you all the time, worse come worse, I will just change to a different club…"

As He Xinnuo continued with her words, her tears got even more frequent as they dripped down onto the ground in a steady stream, looking as though this was a rain that tugged at the heartstrings of others.

And just at that moment, Boss Lei and Wu Xing came into the training hall.

The moment they heard that Lu Yanchen was here, they practically ran over immediately. While they were surprised, a larger part of their emotions was that of worry, afraid that they might have been lacking in any way that might have offended this great God here.

After greeting him with extreme politeness and courtesy, Boss Lei inquired in a soft tone upon noticing Lu Yanchen's darkened face, "What's going on over here?"

He Xinnuo scanned Lu Yanchen before replying carefully, "Boss, Shi Guang displeased Young Master Lu."

Boss Lei cursed in his heart before following quickly with a chuckle, "Young Master Lu, Shi Guang is still young. She is just a silly girl who knows nothing about anything else but swimming, and isn't too good with the ways of the world. If there's anything that she did that was lacking, please do forgi…"

'This Shi Guang! Hadn't I already warned her before that she must teach Young Master Lu properly?! She was a smart girl, so she should have gotten his drift that those of the Lu Family are not to be offended!'

As Boss Lei was speaking, he would cast glances over at Shi Guang from time to time, indicating for her to come over and apologize.

Shi Guang bit down on her lips.

What should she apologize for? She wasn't even the one who had sent those texts! But… one might as well forget it! If apologizing could settle this issue, then so be it. One less issue was better than one more to deal with.

However, He Xinnuo took a step forth before her instead.

Tears were still hanging down from that face of hers while she forced out a bitter smile before looking at Lu Yanchen and saying, "Young Master Lu, I'm sorry for letting you witness this joke today. I really did not know what was going on earlier when I was maligned by Shi Guang for everything. Usually, I would bear with everything. I've got no idea what came over me today! I tried to hold it in as well, but couldn't do so! The moment I saw you… I just felt like crying!"

She then slumped her head, looking as though she was extremely aggrieved. After that, she secretly cast a glance over at Wu Xing.

Receiving He Xinnuo's glance, Wu Xing's mind whirled as he suddenly understood. He then stepped forth as well. "Young Master Lu, Xinnuo's character is slightly gentler, and is always low profile and easy-going about everything. In reality, she's actually the best swimmer in our club. And of course, she is also the most professional. Every single student she had ever taught had nothing but praises for her…"
