Knight in Shining Armor

"What is going on here?"

Lyca fought the urge to laugh when she heard Xie Jun's voice. Such dramatics. Is it really necessary to have this much casts when scheming against her? These people are truly overestimating her.

"What did you to Ling Nana?"

"Oh? That's her name?" Lyca lifted an eyebrow then watched as Xie Jun helped Ling Nana. 

"What did you do?"

Lyca's gaze darted towards the group of people following Xie Jun. Ling Nana wanted an audience and Xie Jun brought the audience here. Wonderful plan. Lyca would have given them a round of applause. If they used someone who could act better than these two. 

Before Lyca could say anything, Ling Nana already blurted out the fact that Lyca shoved her phone on her face and that she threatened to kill her when she just wanted to talk. After all, she was the newest member of the student council. 

"Brother Jun…" Ling Nana's shoulder shook as she sobbed. "I please don't blame Lyca… Aunt Ying told us that she grew up abroad. So… So her morals are different. She was just upset that I tease her about being the new muse."

"What do you mean? You think growing up abroad would give her the right to hurt someone? You— Lyca Huang… How could you hurt Nana like this? She is the kindest girl in the council! Plus, she is Zhang Zhi's fiance! If you don't like Nana then at least show some respect to your cousin!"

"That's right, Lyca. I think what you did was unforgivable. I think we have rules against such cruelty."

"As a member of the student council, you should be the model student."

Slowly, the people who followed Xie Jun voice out their opinions while some people just chose to watch the show.

"Lyca you should apologize to Nana, right now." Xie Jun said. "Or we will press charges."

"Brother Jun… no need. There is no need to apologize or press charges." Ling Nana bit her lower lip. "I understand that I was too noisy and I keep on asking nonsense questions. So… So… I know a lot of people don't like me because of that."

"Nana!"

"No Brother Jun. It's fine. I understand Miss Huang. I was just… I was trying to be friendly and I guess… she doesn't like that."

"Nana… I suggest you press charges. This woman is pretty violent."

"She is from the Huang Family, right?"

"Oh! Right… I heard about that too! I need to talk to my father about their connections with the Huang Family."

Whispers turned into an irritating buzz in Lyca's ears. Still, she said nothing and just watched as Ling Nana and Xie Jun continued acting as if the current issue doesn't concern her at all. 

Lyca looked at her watch and immediately notice that it is almost two hours after Huang Xiaoxuan drank that pill. 

In less than twenty minutes, the pill will start showing its effects.

"Hmph! What can you say about it!? Why are you so silent?" Xie Jun said, he lifted his chin and gave Lyca a smug look. Since Ling Nana dared to say this, he knew that the CCTV must have captured this incident and that must be the reason why Lyca wasn't saying anything.

"Brother Jun…" Suddenly Long Yi arrived with Zhang Zhi. "What is happening here?" Just like the knight in shining armor, he immediately stood in front of Lyca, as if protecting her from everyone's gaze. Of course, Zhang Zhi stood by his fiance. "What is going on? Why are you embarrassing her in front of everyone?" Long Yi continued.

"Long Yi, this woman actually shoved her phone on Ling Nana's face! Ling Nana is already drunk, when I arrived here with the others, she was using the baluster to support herself, her face was extremely pale as she looked at Lyca. I am sure that the CCTV must have captured this incident."

Long Yi's face darkened, he turned towards the pale Ling Nana then towards Lyca. "Is it true?" His voice was soft, completely contrasting Xie Jun's accusatory tone.

"Yes." Of course, Lyca nodded. It was true. Why would she lie?

"See? I told you, this woman is dangerous! She is violent and doesn't respect us!" Xie Jun said.

"Cousin! Why would you even hurt Nana? You know that she is a very kind woman. She doesn't have any intention to hurt you!" Zhang Zhi put his arms around Ling Nana as he asked Lyca.

"Well… she said she liked Long Yi." Lyca's words weren't loud but it was clear. Almost everyone lifted their eyebrows when they heard her claims. "She is already your fiance and yet… she still dared to say that she liked Long Yi. In front of me." Lyca's narrowed her eyes at Ling Nana. "So… I shoved my phone on her face. She's lucky… I didn't bring any daggers with me."

"You— That is not true!" Ling Nana sobbed. "You are lying. Why would you even think that I like Brother Yi?"

In response, Lyca shrugged. Judging from Zhang Zhi's reaction, he already knew his fiance liked Long Yi.

"Zhi! Please… don't believe this woman. You know me! Why would I even say something like that?" Ling Nana said when Zhang Zhi removed his arms around her. "Zhi! Please… listen to me…" Who would have thought that the witch Lyca would use something like this to counter them? "Zhi… please… she's lying. She wanted to break us up. Please…"

Lyca snorted inwardly. Lyca already observed that Zhang Zhi really liked this woman but Ling Nana liked Long Yi. Of course, it was obvious that Zhang Zhi also noticed this but he kept quiet hoping that Ling Nana would soon change her heart. This issue must have created some tense atmosphere between Zhang Zhi, Ling Nana, and Long Yi. 

Now that Lyca brought it up, Zhang Zhi immediately believed her. Why, you asked? Because Zhang Zhi and Ling Nana knew about Lyca and Long Yi's engagement. It would be natural for Ling Nana to confront the future fiance of her beloved.

Seeing their uncomfortable faces, Lyca had to bite her lower lip, forcing herself not to laugh. Ah… this is just too fun.

Too fun indeed.
