The older man smirked and withdrew first, the upset look on Luó Xia's face tickled his soul, she was certainly more bark than her cheerful self on WeChat.
Not that he stalked her.
Luó Xiang was uncomfortable with being alone with teacher Han, he stood up first and dashed for the door. He had half a mind to spend the rest of the school day in the restroom, playing games till school let out.
However, a strong pull on his elbow stopped him from taking another step. He looked over his shoulder, only to see an older man grinning at him from ear to ear.
"Pervert." he cringed, teacher Han diverted his gaze from his smooth skin to the game console he held.
"School rules state that I confiscate this, but if you stay back, there'll be no issue." he said, still latching onto Luó Xiang's elbow. With an irritated expression, he withdrew his elbow and furiously wiped it against his shirt.
"Are you threatening me?" Luó Xiang scoffed.
"Student Luó don't think that way, I'm simply giving you a way out." he insisted, eyeing the young miss from head to toe.
She certainly was taller than in her posts and had a more defined jawline, he thought to himself, openly gawking at her.
Luó Xiang was dumbfounded!
He never thought that such obvious clichés which only ever happened in TV dramas could happen in real life. He sent a Sharp glare at teacher Han, disgusted by what he would demand of a young girl he recently just met.
Normally, Luó Xiang's first reaction would be to tell him to fuck off, or he might even throw the game at him and storm off. His fingers were already curled into a tight fist, prepared to send a straight line punch to his jaw.
However, due to his high global ranking and progress in the game which could only be saved on one device, he shrugged his shoulders.
Seeing as the young miss was no longer protesting Han Zixuan walked over to his desk and pulled out a drawer. He dipped his hand inside only to reveal a light bulb inside.
"Want to help me change the light bulb?" He asked, using his eyes to divert Luó Xiang's attention to the light bulb at the back.
Luó Xiang grimaced, "is that it?" he was of the opinion that his perverted teacher wanted something more sketchy from him, his sister rather.
Han Zixuan picked up a chair and placed it directly under the faulty bulb, he placed the replacement on the table then climbed the chair.
"They can't get any learning done if it's dark." he defended, unscrewing the old bulb which had burn out.
Luó Xiang rolled his eyes, he had only been in class for three periods and knew not one of his classmates were interested in learning.
"Here." Han Zixuan tossed the old lightbulb at Luó Xiang without warning, fortunately he was able to catch it before it crashed into a thousand pieces.
He frowned, Han Zixuan smiled.
"Pass me the new one."
Luó Xiang reluctantly picked up the replacement and held it up for Han Zixuan without looking at what direction he was pointing it.
"Thanks..." Han Zixuan was saying till he noticed that Luó Xiang wasn't even looking in his direction. The annoyed look on his face proved he wanted the light bulb changed quickly, so he could leave.
Something this black bellied teacher would not allow.
"Ouch." he yelped, furiously withdrawing his hand away. Luó Xiang didn't even flinch, he stood in place holding the lightbulb without fail.
"I hurt my thumb, you'll have to change the lightbulb." Han Zixuan said, alighting the chair.
Luó Xiang gave him an incredulous look, "isn't that going too far? Call a janitor or another teacher to help you." he sharply retorted.
Han Zixuan rolled his tongue around his mouth, wasn't Luó Xia aiming to become an idol? Why is her voice suddenly much deeper?
"Doesn't that defeat the entire purpose of buying my silence? I can't let you walk away with bringing a game to school." he shamelessly said, stepping aside for Luó Xiang to mount the chair.
Luó Xiang scoffed, this man was stepping on his last nerves, if this teacher did anything more to upset him, he would have his mother kick him out of the school.
For the love of his game, he effortlessly mounted the chair and reached to change the bulb. Living with Luó Xia in the states had made him become more independent, since he was the one doing the menial tasks such as fixing the pipe, taking out the trash and changing light bulbs.
In a matter of seconds, he finished changing the bulb and placed the lid back on. "Was that so hard?" he scolded, about to jump down.
Han Zixuan tossed him a full smile that forced goosebumps to crawl onto the young master's skin. He flinched so hard, that he lost his footing for a second, thankfully he was swift and able to regain his balance.
However, a mischievous Han Zixuan who saw an opportunity and was very much intending to use it, suddenly kicked one leg of the chair, causing the whole thing to shake, sending Luó Xiang tumbling sideways.
Wearing a triumphant grin on his face, and with open arms, he positioned himself to catch the falling beauty in his tight embrace, fully proud of himself.
Unfortunately, a lizard which came from outside through the window crawled past Han Zixuan, startling the twenty four year old. He reflexively tried to evade the reptile, but ended up falling backwards. Now, both teacher and student lost balance and landed on something hard.
Han Zixuan landing on the cold tiles, and Luó Xiang falling on something hard but...moving? He cocked his head up and took a proper glance at what exactly he landed on.
"Student Luó, I like an assertive woman, but aren't you jumping too many steps?" Han Zixuan teased, looking up at the flustered student sitting on his chest, looking like they would murder him in an instant.
Luó Xiang had never been this insulted before in his entire life! He tugged on his teacher's collar, bringing his amused face to meet his angry eyes.
"You are so cute when you're..." before the unsuspecting teacher Han could tease Luó Xiang any further, he received a heavy punch to his handsome face, right below his left eye!
Without giving Han Zixuan much time to react, Luó Xiang held his chin in his hand, and smirked wickedly at him.
"Mess with me again, and I'll ruin your good looking face." he threatened, then released him.
He picked up his things and stormed out of the classroom, headed straight for the restroom, convinced he would spend his entire day there. A part of him feeling fulfilled over teaching the deranged lunatic a lesson.
Little did he know that his threat had the opposite effect.
Sitting up straight, Han Zixuan rested one hand on his swollen cheek and smiled, "ouch." he hissed, the punch was heavier than he expected.
"She said I have a good looking face." he echoed in a daze, convinced that was a positive sign from his icy cold delinquent fairy.
