The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

"HAH, are you saying that my brother purposely fell on his own?" Luo Jin growled.  "For what?  So, he could make you look bad?  Who do you think you are?  Do you think you're important enough that my brother would hurt himself voluntarily just for you?  Stop dreaming while your eyes are wide open."

Some of the student who were watching what was happening actually started to wonder if Luo Yan really fell on his own just like Mo Jian said.  It's because they didn't see exactly how it happened.  They just saw Mo Jian reaching out her hand and then Luo Yan falling down.  So, they thought that what Mo Jian said was probably the case.  But because of what Luo Jin had said, they immediately changed his mind. 

After all, why would the second young master of the Luo family purposely hurt himself like that?  He was already so frail.  A normal fall like that could hurt him tremendously.  Why would he put himself in pain just to make another person be blamed for it?  Unless, of course, he's a schemer who wouldn't hesitate to hurt himself just to accomplish his goal. 

But wasn't that too scary?  They'd rather believe that Mo Jian really pushed him because he revealed the other's bad attitude than to think that this cute and adorable kid was actually a white lotus in disguise. 

And so, they did. 

The look they'd given Mo Jian started to change.  If, at first, they were still quite skeptical with the things that Luo Yan was blaming her for, now, they completely believed it.

Mo Jian, of course, felt the change in atmosphere.  It's like everyone was now looking at her as if she had done something so evil.  But the thing she couldn't accept even more was Luo Jin's anger directed at her.  It was so potent that her back had been filled with cold sweat for a few seconds now. 

She started to feel helpless, frustrated, and angry.  She even wondered if she truly pushed Luo Yan that's why the other fell over.  Her brain just couldn't think properly anymore.  But no, she really didn't push him.  She needed others to know that.  Especially Luo Jin.  What if he started to hate her after this?  No, she couldn't let that to happen.

"I really didn't push him!  Please, believe me.  I--"

"Enough!" Luo Jin cut her off.  "Who wants to hear your excuses?"

"It's fine, Ah Jin.  I'm sure Miss Mo didn't mean it," Luo Yan said, he already stood up with Yu Jiao's help.  His pretty face was full of understanding.  His big eyes started to mist, as if he would cry any minute now.  "She's probably just angry that I scolded her.  It's my fault, I shouldn't have said those things.  But- but, I just want to protect my friend.  Was that so wrong?"

Luo Jin stopped.  Seeing his brother about to cry, he suddenly felt like something was amiss.  Surely, Luo Yan wouldn't cry suddenly like this just because of what happened.  He knew him well enough to know that he's tougher than that.  And the things he just said, it suddenly hit Luo Jin that his brother was actually acting right now.  Along with that realization, he also figured out a lot of things all at once.

He remembered what he said earlier, it seemed like this brother of his did fall over just so this girl would be blamed.  He wasn't angry by that.  Because he knew that if Luo Yan went out of his way to humiliate the other, then there's a high chance that she deserved it. 

Luo Yan wasn't vindictive in nature.  He wouldn't just suddenly attack another person for no reason.  So, the things he said earlier about the other bullying Yu Jiao was most likely true.  That's why Luo Jin didn't pity the girl.

But now that he knew that Luo Yan was just acting, he didn't know how he should act next.  Because unlike his second brother, he didn't have the talent for something like this.  So, he just opted to remain silent while frowning.  That way, he could at least still look as if he was still angry.

Yu Jiao, on the other hand, felt like there was something that didn't feel quite right.  Especially after seeing Luo Yan about to cry.  She might have only known Luo Yan for a little bit more than a month and being friends with him even shorter than that, but she knew that the other was not simply not someone who would cry with just that. 

She couldn't exactly describe what she was feeling.  But that didn't stop her from still being worried for him.  So, she remained by his side and readied herself to give support if needed.

The students around them started to talk as well.

"It's clearly her fault.  What is she doing blaming another person?"

"I know, right?  Is she planning to make second young master Luo cry?"

"I suddenly feel sorry for second young master Luo."

"Didn't he say earlier that the girl is the stepsister of that other tall girl?  Now, I understand the situation a bit.  If they're stepsisters, then it's only natural for one to turn wicked."

"I like how you just said that."

"Then if she's bullying her stepsister, wasn't everything simply her fault?"

"It's obvious that it is.  Second young master Luo was simply protecting his friend."

"That's actually kind of sweet."

"Now it makes me angrier at that girl.  What's her name again?"

"I think I know who she is.  The daughter of the Mo family.  If I remember correctly, her name is Mo Jian."

Mo Jian heard all of these and it just made her mind completely blank.  She even found it hard to breath.  It's like she's having a panic attack.  She couldn't bear the gazes of the people around her, as well as the things they were saying about her. 

When she wanted to say something, at least anything to clear this misunderstanding, she saw Luo Yan walking towards her.  She instinctively wanted to step back but her body just wouldn't move.  Until the other reached her and held her hand.

"It's okay, I'm not angry with you.  I just hope that you can be a kind stepsister.  It's not good to always be mean."  Luo Yan closed their distance as if about to hug her and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "If you ever try to bother Jiao Jiao again, I will tell my Dad to talk to your father and ask him very nicely to discipline his daughter.  What do you think is more important to your father, his business or you, his daughter?  Think about that the next time you hurt my friend again."

He felt the other's body trembled after he said that.  He then let go of Mo Jian's hand and stepped back.  And then he smiled at her as if he had already forgiven her for what happened. 

Mo Jian just stared at Luo Yan as if she was looking at a monster.  Of course, she understood what he meant.  And with what he said, she also understood that everything that just happened was planned by this guy.  More than anger, she felt fear. 

So, when she had the chance, she quickly ran away from there.  Away from that little devil.
