Han Luo swam and played with Mo Yuan. They even built a small sandcastle together on the shore. When she was hungry, she swam back to the beach first. Mo Yuan waited before swimming back to where the others were staying.

Beth was taking some photos of the girls when Han Luo came back. "I'm starving. Shouldn't we grab some lunch?"

"We should but we aren't that hungry yet. And, look at the boys. They are holding a barbeque party," Beth told her pointing towards the newly set-up barbeque stand. "Ming should be there as well."

"Wow! Big brother Ming is good at this. I'm going to check then," Han Luo chirped excitedly.

She was about to leave when Beth grabbed her hand. She asked, "Wasn't your hair tied?"

"It was but I have to dry my hair before I get a headache," Han Luo replied. She couldn't say that her neck was all covered with hickeys and Mo Yuan messed up her hair.

It was quite annoying to let her long, heavy hair down when it was sticking to her body because it was wet. However, she had no other choice. If she wore Mo Yuan's shirt, others might have already noticed that something was brewing between them.

Han Luo took a bath and wore a sky blue colored cotton dress, a pair of sandals, and the same colored hat.

[A/N: Picture of the para comment]

She came out of the hotel and saw that the other students had already gathered around the stand to get the barbeque seafood. The delicious aroma filled the area, making everyone's stomach grumble in hunger.

Han Luo saw that Mo Yuan was standing not too far away. He was wearing a white shirt and a pair of yellow ocher colored shorts, covering his knees. He seemed to bathe as well.

She was about to go to him when a female student stood in her way, looking at her with arms on her waist.

Han Luo took a step back or she would have bumped into her. She smiled and asked in a friendly manner, "Xiao Luilui, is there something you want to talk about?" Her voice was sweet and gentle.

Han Luilui's anger rose after seeing her angelic face. She promised that she had to show everyone that Han Luo wasn't someone who people thought she was. She must reveal Han Luo's mask.

She sneered, "You are really something, aren't you? You are going out with Jared but you don't even hesitate for a second to cheat on him behind his back. Is this how you treat your loyal boyfriend?"

The students were all there and they heard her comment. They stopped talking and looked at Han Luilui and Han Luo's way.

Han Luo blinked. "Huh? Who is my boyfriend?"

"Don't play dumb. We all know that you are in a secret relationship with Jared. How could you cheat on him with big brother Yuan?" Han Luilui accused her.

The gossipy girls began to murmur among themselves–

"Oh my! I didn't know Luo and Jared are an item."

"Me neither!"

"This is huge. Let's take a video!"

Han Luo stared at her cousin calmly but her eyes were gazing at her sharply. "You can try slandering me but don't you dare to pull big brother Yuan's name in the mud. Also, you have no right to call him 'big brother Yuan'."

Han Luilui's voice became louder as she bellowed, "What a shameless b***h! You are so possessive of him that you cannot let others look at him and call him by his name. Have you forgotten that you are already together with another man? So disgusting!"

Han Luo made a pitiful expression and stated, "You think I'm shameless. What about you? How can you slander someone so openly without proof?"

"How am I slandering? I have proof that Jared and you are going out." Han Luilui announced confidently and threw some pictures at her cousin.

The pictures fluttered in the wind and fell on the sandy ground.

Han Luo didn't even bother to pick them up. Some students picked them up and looked at them. She just took a fleeting glance at the pictures.

The people in those so-called pictures were none other than Jared and Han Luo. One picture was about him chatting with her and they were both laughing for some reason. Another one was a photo of Jared's mother driving them both from dancing school. And, another picture was about them having lunch together.

'She must have hired a private detective to get all these pictures taken in secret,' Han Luo figured it out in a second.

Han Luilui accused, "Who goes on a date on Sunday with a friend who is a boy? Whose mother is generous enough to give a lift to her son's friend who isn't even his girlfriend? You two are so intimate, how can there be no relationship?"

Seeing that Han Luo wasn't speaking, she smugly said, "Well? Cat caught your tongue? Can't you say anything about your secret relationship? I must say that you hide it very well. Just because you hid it doesn't mean you can first around with other guys."

Han Luo seemed to panic and said with a hurt expression, "B-but he is my friend. How can I not hang out with my friends? It is okay to hang out with a friend who is a girl but not with a boy? I didn't know there were these types of rules."

Seeing Han Luo's pitiful face and her logical explanation, boys and girls around them began to speak as well–

"Where did this country bumpkin come from? Doesn't she know the basics of friendship?"

"Friends are friends. How can it be differentiated between male and female?"

"Does she always think that boys are into her whenever they talk to her? Disgusting!"

"She is like those horny girls, isn't she? I can bet that she seduces men and then blame Luo for it. Disgraceful!"
