My Beloved

"Wear this. You cannot go out wearing a simple sweater." Mo Yuan gave her the jacket that was hung on the hanger and helped her wear it.

"It's not that cold." Han Luo whined. She refused to wear it. She was right about that. Inside the hotel, the heater was on. It was warm inside.

"It was snowing last night," Mo Yuan wouldn't take 'no' for an answer. 

Han Luo kept whining and argued back, "We have a heater inside the hotel. And, it's not even snowing now. It doesn't matter if it was snowing yesterday." She tried to make a point. 

Mo Yuan looked at her through the mirror and pinching her cheeks he solemnly threatened her, "If you don't listen to me, I won't let you eat ice cream after the competition is over."

"Buhuhu… big brother Yun is bullying me again." Han Luo pretended to cry.

"What am I going to do with you?" Mo Yuan shook his head helplessly. 

In the end, Han Luo was forced to wear the jacket, and only after that, they headed out. While they were walking, Han Luo hugged his left arm and asked, "Big brother Yuan, did you have breakfast?"

Mo Yuan replied, "I didn't. I was waiting for you."

"Great! Let's eat together." Han Luo dragged him downstairs.

They saw some participants in the dining hall. Some of them woke up late and came to have breakfast. Zenna and Jared were there as well.

"Luo!" Zenna saw her first and waved at her.

Han Luo waved at her with a smile.

Mo Yuan said with indulgence, "Go sit with them. I will bring over your breakfast." 

"Okay," Han Luo agreed while letting his arm go. She strode to the direction where Jared and Zenna were sitting and walked around the table to sit opposite them. She greeted them warmly, "Good morning, you two."

"Good morning to you too," Jared greeted her back, with a slight frown on his face. The thing that she was hugging Mo Yuan's arm naturally and they looked like any normal couple was bugging him. He couldn't smile like he usually did. 

Zenna also greeted her, "Good morning, Luo. How are you feeling now? Have you had enough rest?" 

"I did and I feel fantastic," Han Luo replied matter of factly.

Zenna hummed while observing her excited friend, "I can tell by looking at you." 

"You look refreshed too," Han Luo commented.

"Why wouldn't I? The three of us are in the final." Zenna beamed with excitement. She is not even sure that she would be able to perform in the semis before, let alone in the final. It's like a dream came true. And, she knew that it was all because of Han Luo, that she was able to step in the final round. Thinking of this, "Thanks to you that I'm here now. Luo, I will always remember what you have told me that day." She is grateful to have a friend like Luo. 

Han Luo was a bit embarrassed. She softly refuted, "It's nothing much. I have done what I can within my capabilities."

Zenna smiled at her. "That's more than enough. Not everyone can do what you did."

Just then, Mo Yuan brought Han Luo's plate along with his and sat down beside her.

"Thank you, big brother Yuan," Han Luo took her plate and started eating with everyone. Jared and Mo Yuan didn't talk throughout the breakfast but Han Luo and Zenna talked about random things.

After they were done with breakfast, Zenna went out with her parents. Han Luo was going to the dancing room when Jared called her from behind. "Luo, wait."

Han Luo paused in her steps and turned around to face Jared. "Hey, what's up?" she asked curiously.

Jared hesitated before replying, "There is something I was meaning to talk to you. It's about the finale. What are you planning to perform?"

Han Luo answered honestly, "Ballet of course." 

"Oh, I have a plan…" Jared shared his idea with her.

At lunch, Han Luo went to find Mo Yuan. In the dining hall, all the participants along with other guests were present. However, she couldn't find Mo Yuan. 

'Where did he go?' Han Luo wondered and looked around. 'Is he still in the music room?'

She went to the music room where Mo Yuan used to practice. The music room was huge and there were ten soundproof rooms. Each room was occupied with a music participant.

When Han Luo entered the room, she met two boys. One of them was from the musical competition and another one was from the acting competition. They were both fourteen years old. 

Seeing Han Luo, the boy from the music competition said, "Isn't that the child goddess from the dancing competition?!"

The other one answered with a smirk on his face, "Yes, that's true. I knew that she was good looking but I didn't think she would be even more beautiful without any makeup on."

"I think I've fallen in love." 

"You are not the only one." Those two started to laugh.

Han Luo ignored them. It wasn't the first time she experienced something like that. She heard numerous comments around her. However, it was the first time someone blocked her path. 

Han Luo coldly said, "I'm in a hurry. Please excuse me."

The boy from the acting competition stepped forward and said, "We know that you are here to meet your brother. We will take you to him. However, before that, why don't you come with us? We want to talk to you about something."

As he came into her personal space, Han Luo frowned. She stayed in the same place while folding her arms without any trace of fear to back down. She just simply stared at him coldly. 

"I don't think you want to take me anywhere, pal," she remarked with a cold expression on her face. 

Han Luo won't allow anyone to mess with her. If they try, she will personally introduce hell to them. 

Seeing the cute little bunny turned into a fiery kitten, the boys paused for a second.. They started to have second thoughts about whether they should approach her or not.
