My Beloved

Seeing a droplet of tears fall from her eyes, Mo Yuan's heart shook. He was shocked from her outburst and didn't know what to do. After seeing her tears, he knew he had to stop her. He quickly held her from behind and hugged her. "I'm sorry. That's not what I meant. I know you are sincere and you value relationships."

"That's not the problem here, is it? The main problem starts with you being interested in me because I hid something from you," Han Luo threw some punches.

Mo Yuan let her punch him but he didn't loosen his grasp. He said, "Ah Luo, if you tell me to apologize a thousand times, I will do it. I will do whatever it takes to make you stop crying but I will never let you go."

"I don't want to talk to you about anything right now! Let go!" Han Luo didn't want to look at him.

The more she acted like that, the more he felt distressed. He said, "Ah Luo, please listen to me. I wanted to be truthful to you and I don't want to hide anything from you. Just like I want you to open up to me, I want to open up to you."

"You don't want to hide anything? Fine the, tell me what do you think of me?"

Mo Yuan paused. "Ah Luo, I…"

"You?" Han Luo patiently waited,

Mo Yuan hesitated. Thinking about Noah and President Mu Liang's words, he didn't want to tell her about it for now. 

She is so pure and innocent. She snuggled close to him, kisses him whenever he tells her, he kisses her whenever he wants; if he tells her how he truly sees her, won't she think he is scary and go further away from him?

Mo Yuan closed his eyes and bit down his tongue. He couldn't say it at all.

Han Luo suddenly chuckled. She abruptly stopped smiling and said, "It's all right. You don't have to say it. I understand." She forcefully pushed him away and wanted to leave.

Mo Yuan desperately tried to say, "No Ah Luo, you don't understand-"

Han Luo flung his hand away and then turned around and asked, "What if I understand? What if I don't understand? You are the one who said that you would be truthful to me but look at you now. When I asked you a question, you were tongue-tied."

"Give me four years," Mo Yuan pleaded. All he needed was just her to grow up to understand his feelings.

"Take whatever time you need. Even if that makes you interested, I'm not interested at all," saying that she turned around and left the room.

After she closed the door, Mo Yuan sat down on the corner of the bed and sighed. He covered his face. He didn't think that things would turn out like that. He just wanted to spend some time with her before they separated but it seemed that it was impossible to do it now that she was upset.

"Little Luo Luo!" Han Sheng Ming beamed seeing Han Luo's face. They had been separated for more than a month. He was getting restless without her. Right after coming to the hotel, he left his bags in the hotel room and then went to look for Han Luo. Who would have known that she would stand right before his room to spook him?

Han Luo smiled brightly and hugged Han Sheng Ming. "I missed you, big brother Ming."

Upon hearing that, Han Sheng Ming's heart fluttered. He was over the moon as if he became a nitrogen balloon. He embraced her and rubbed his cheek on her head. "My little Luo Luo is the best. You are so brave to fight those bullies. You even fought against those dancers too. I know they are nothing in front of you but you are still amazing."

She fought against those dancers! Was she in some kind of war?

Han Luo realized that Han Sheng Ming's blind brotherly affection was indeed scary.

She chuckled and said, "Big brother Ming, my opponents were strong. I had to fight until I had nothing left to do."

"However, you still won, did you not?" A calm voice spoke from behind. 

Han Luo poked her head and saw Tang Yujin was looking at her with an affectionate smile on his face.

"Big brother Yujin!" Han Luo smiled cutely and ran toward him. Before he could say anything, she gave him a tight hug.

Behind them, Han Sheng Ming sighed. He wanted to hug her a little more. She was just too cute to let others see her. He wished she would stay a little girl for the rest of her life and he could cuddle her all the time. 

Tang Yujin collectively smiled and gave her a slight pat on the back. He didn't hug her as tightly as his two other friends. In his point of view, a man and a woman should keep their distance.

He politely and gently said, "Little Luo, congratulations on your victory."

"Thank you! So tell me big brother Yujin, what did you bring for me?" Han Luo asked with excitement.

Tang Yujin chuckled. "Shouldn't it be you who would prepare presents for us? You are the one who was visiting Paris, not us." 

Han Luo grabbed his hands and "Ah, I've already bought souvenirs and Christmas presents for everyone. What about my victory gift and Christmas presents? Don't tell me that you have forgotten? I'm your only younger sister!"

Tang Yujin paused. He was at a loss of words. He knew that it was too early for her yet, he wished she could develop some feelings.

Han Sheng Ming came from behind and stroke Han Luo's head. "Do you lack anything? What else do you need? I can give you anything you want."

Han Luo turned to face him and replied, "It's not that I want anything more than my big brothers, but presents are presents. How can you forget my presents?"
