His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

Shi Guang and Li Fangfei broke out into laughter over his misfortune.

“Engagement? Not bad! Congratulations!”

Huo Zhan was thoroughly exhausted as he said in a huff, “What’s there to congratulate? What era are we living in now? Arranged marriage? They can’t decide on my career path and marriage just because they raised me up! That’s too much! Their thinking is simply dated and antiqued! They’re harming themselves and others!”

Shi Guang tried persuading him, “Don’t say that about your parents. They’re merely doing it for your good.”

Li Fangfei nodded her head in agreement. “Or, you can take it that you’ve just gotten to know yet another new girlfriend!”

Huo Zhan rejected that immediately, “No, no! It’s different this time around! If I find that I’m incompatible with a girlfriend, I can break up with her. But, if I were to get together with this woman, there’s no dumping her!”

Shi Guang scoffed, “Gosh! You should really stop being trashy and get to know a proper good girlfriend. There’s nothing bad about that as well. And, if you guys are really incompatible, I’m sure your parents won’t force it onto you to get married no matter what.”

Snorting twice, Huo Zhang shook his finger. “No, no, no, Little Shi Guang! Each time I date a woman, I go in with my truest heart. I head in for the sake of love! I believe in love and look forward to marriage. For something like feelings, it’s really, really important! I can only continue if I’ve got feelings for that person at first sight! As for this woman my mum chose, I don’t even feel like looking at her for a second time! Clearly, that means that I’ve got no feelings for her! How can I date her properly then? If I do that, then I would really be trashy!!”

Shi Guang declined to comment on that. “Perhaps feelings might blossom over time? Besides, your parents are doing it for your own good.”

Li Fangfei added on, “That’s right! Some people only realize that they’re suited to be lovers after knowing one another as friends for a long time!”

“Are you guys even my friends?!” Huo Zhan was getting a little pissed now.

“Of course! Otherwise, I wouldn’t even be bothered to stay here and chat with you for so long.”

“If you’re a friend, help me out!”

“How?”

Huo Zhan’s lips curled into a smile as he flattered, “Little Shi Guang, you know that my mum has always liked you since you were young. She even once said that she wanted to arrange us for a child marriage, remember?”

Shi Guang’s lips cramped up. “You can’t be…”

Li Fangfei continued Shi Guang’s sentence, “You want Shi Guang to pretend to be your girlfriend?”

“Bingo!” Huo Zhan gave them a big thumbs up and was all smiles cheekily. “If you are willing to pretend to be my girlfriend, my mum will definitely give up on that marriage!”

Shi Guang rejected. “No way!”

Huo Zhan continued with a sorry face, “Little Shi Guang… no, Big Sister Shi Guang! Queen Shi Guang! You MUST help me, please! If you don’t help me, I’ll have to go jump into the seas!”

Li Fangfei rolled her eyes. “Do you have to exaggerate? Isn’t it just a marriage arrangement?”

Huo Zhan expressed his dismal mood. “To me, a life without love is like a withered flower… there’s no sign of life!”

Shi Guang suggested, “Let Fangfei do it.”

Li Fangfei’s petite face blushed red. “Ah?” She then waved it off. “N-No, no, no… way!”

“My mum doesn’t know Fangfei. She’s not important enough for my mum to break the marriage agreement,” He then coughed gently, “Furthermore, I’ve already told my mum that after my years of treading through the fields of romance, I’ve discovered that my one true love is you.”

The moment she heard that, Shi Guang nearly coughed out blood as she scolded, “Did your brains get squashed by a door or something? How could you say that! That’s just lying to your parents!”

“I’ve got no choice! My mum likes you! Great Queen, we’ve grown up together and we would always stick out for the other as long as the other party needs help! Even if I were to burn to ashes, get my bones crushed into dust or splatter my guts, I would do anything for you! You wouldn’t reject this small favor of mine, would you?”
