Chapter 168 - QUICKENING OF HIS HEARTBEAT (2/2)

Although it's weird that he now apparently belonged to a 'girl clique', he didn't mind it that much.  With the face he currently had, it's better to hang out with girls than boys.  What if one of those boys accidentally fell for him?  It wouldn't be that impossible since he's this pretty after all.  He didn't want to accidentally bend any of them or anything.  Though the chances of that happening was pretty low, it's better to be safe than sorry.

”Xiao Yan,” Tang Lanfen called.  And yes, that's what these three girls were calling him.  ”Your eyes are a bit red.  There are even dark circles under your eyes.  Did you not sleep well?”

He smiled.  ”I was studying late last night.”

”Xiao Yan, you shouldn't stay up late,” Zeng Meirong said.  ”It would ruin your perfect skin!”

”That's right!” Kong Wenqian vehemently agreed.  ”There's no need for you to study so late.  You're always able to answer all the teachers' questions easily.  You're already so smart.”

Luo Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry because of their reaction.  ”But I was only able to do that because I was studying really hard.  If I don't, then I won't be able to catch up with the people in the class.” He lowered his head and acted all sad.  ”I don't want to be kicked out of the class because I couldn't keep up with everyone.”

Looking at Luo Yan with his gazed down and his long eyelashes fanning his cheeks, the three girls felt like they just did something bad.  And so, they immediately made amends.

”How could you be kicked out?”

”Yes, we won't allow it.”

”So don't be sad, okay, Xiao Yan?”

It was at this moment that Huang Wen passed by the four.  He also happened to hear what Luo Yan said last.  So he couldn't help but glanced at him.  His head was down and there was a sad expression on his face.  Was this guy about to cry?  Just when Huang Wen thought that, Luo Yan raised his head and smiled at the three girls surrounding him and trying their best to console him.

It so happened that he glanced at his direction.  When Luo Yan smiled at him, he immediately turned his gaze away and walked faster.  Seriously, there was definitely something wrong with that brat.  That's what he thought, completely disregarding the momentarily quickening of his heartbeat.
