Chapter 177 - ANOTHER ONE BEING FACE-SLAPPED

LUO YAN saw that Yu Jiao was already preparing to leave the classroom.  So he also stood up and walked out ahead of her.  Because he knew that if he stayed a little longer, he would definitely be surrounded by his three 'girlfriends'.  And then he wouldn't have time to follow Yu Jiao.  

He already told Luo Jin to just wait for him outside of the third year teaching building.  They would wait for Yu Jiao to come out.  And then they would follow her.  

He quickened his pace and got on the elevator.  There were already other students inside.  When he came in, all kinds of gazes were directed at him.  His class already got used to his presence.  But students from other class still found him quite novel.  There were some that were simply curious, but he could also feel some that were malicious.  The last gaze, he usually didn't feel when he's with Luo Jin.  Who would dare to look at him in a bad way when he's with the school's number one troublemaker?    

He ignored that kind of gaze.  He didn't have time to deal with them, whoever they were.  Besides, it's not as if they could just attack him here.  Not with all the other students around.  Not to mention, this school was teeming with CCTV cameras to provide surveillance.  That way, if a student or a faculty member did something wrong, evidence could easily be found.  Of course, that also applied in this elevator.

Once the elevator stopped, he immediately walked out.  He just walked a few steps when he felt a hard push from the back.  If he hadn't regained his balance quickly, he would have fallen face first on the floor.  His precious face would definitely be wounded.  

"Oh, sorry.  I didn't mean to bump into you," said a voice from behind.  

Luo Yan looked back and saw a male student.  His face belonged to the 'pretty boy' category.  Of course, not the same level of prettiness that he had.  But the type that was slender and had fine facial features.  Similar to those idols from country H.  And based on the sneer on his face, it's obvious that he didn't mean the apology he just spouted.

"It's because you're too short, so I didn't see you clearly just now," the teenager added, his voice full of sarcasm.

It seemed that he now knew where that malicious gaze came from.  Even though he already decided to ignore him, he really just had to deliver himself on his doorsteps to get face-slapped.

Luo Yan smiled at the teenager.  Something that he seemed to not be expecting.  "It's okay."

The boy looked like he became pissed off even more.  He snorted and planned to walk away.  

How could Luo Yan just let him leave?  If he did, then he wouldn't be Luo Yan at all.  What could he say?  He's petty like that.

So, as the teenager took a step, he slightly raised his foot towards the other's path.  Of course, he did it stealthily.  In a way that the people around them wouldn't even notice what he did.  He even made sure that the CCTV in the area wouldn't capture what he's doing.

Because the teenager didn't expect that Luo Yan would do that, he didn't have any kind of defense mechanism at all.  So, he easily tripped and stumbled.  He lost his balance and fell.  But before his face was planted on the floor, he managed to put both hands down.  So he ended up kneeling on all fours on the floor.

He heard snickering and laughter around him.  His whole face immediately turned red from embarrassment.  

"Are you okay?" said that sickeningly sweet voice.

He raised his head and saw the face of the second young master of the Luo family.  He was smirking down at him.  But that expression only lasted for a second before it turned into something like worry.  It was only for a brief moment, a flash really, but he was sure of what he saw.

This brat.  He's definitely the reason why he tripped!

Anger and indignation filled the teenager.  He stood up and angrily pointed his finger at him.  "You did this!"

Luo Yan acted all confused.  "What do you mean?"

"Stop acting stupid!  You know exactly what I'm talking about!"

Luo Yan looked hurt and he seemed to not really understand what the person in front of him was talking about.  "I- I'm sorry.  Please, don't be mad."

Because it was lunch time, the area near the elevator was slowly being filled by students.  Their actions were a bit big.  Not to mention, the teenager's voice was really loud.  They already attracted quite a lot of attention.

What they saw was a tall handsome teenager with an angry expression on his face.  The other was a beautiful boy who looked confused and hurt, it even seemed like he was about to cry.  Anyone who saw him would instantly feel the desire to protect him.  So, of course, they would take the side of the pitiful looking boy.  And immediately painted the other teenager as the villain. 

"Hey, isn't that Ying Chen from class 2?  Is he bullying that middle-school kid?"

"What are you saying?  That's the second young master of the Luo family."

"You mean the one who had been in a coma?  That was even worse!  Why the heck is Ying Chen bullying him?  Look, the poor kid is about to cry!"

That student's opinion was seconded by a lot of others.  All scolding Ying Chen. 

Ying Chen heard all of these and his face became even more red from anger.  He glared at the culprit.  The moment their gazes met, he clearly saw a hint of taunting in those peach blossom eyes.  When he saw that, he felt like something just snapped in him.  Before he could think properly, he already raised his hand and was about to slap the person in front of him.

But two things unexpectedly happened at the next moment.  Someone held Ying Chen's hand and another person pulled Luo Yan behind their back.

The person who stopped Ying Chen was Huang Wen.  While the one who pulled Luo Yan was Yu Jiao.

Both Ying Chen and Luo Yan were shocked by this sudden turn of events.
