My Beloved

Zheng Mian heard his answer and sighed. 'This guy is a stubborn fool,' she thought.

She sat on the bed and lamented, "Luo is such a pitiful girl. She lost her parents when she was only two and her uncle's family abused her. Although she got herself three knights, they left her too. She grew up while suffering. After she came here, Yuan supported her and encouraged her in many ways.

"Due to his kindness and support she fell in love with him. Finally, she was able to obtain happiness. She could have someone for herself but sadly her so-called precious cousin wouldn't let her be happy because he was jealous. She is all alone and pitiful."

Han Sheng Ming frowned. He abruptly stood up and asked, "What are you talking about? Who is jealous? And why will she be alone and pitiful? I'm with her. Noah is here and also you. We are all taking care of her."

Zheng Mian took a deep breath. She didn't know why her boyfriend was such a dupe. She calmly explained, "How long will you take care of her? Forever? What about your own family? Won't you get married and have children?

"How do you think she will feel when she will see her cousin living happily ever after with his family but didn't let her do the same? If it was me, I would have hated that cousin no matter how much I loved him."

She tried to bring out sympathy in her tone while speaking. Her voice sounded brokenhearted.

Upon hearing her words, Han Sheng Ming's face turned pale. "…H-hate…"

The last thing he wanted was Han Luo to hate him. Yesterday, he was so mad that he didn't have the time to think about it. Now, he was having goosebumps.

Zheng Mian added further, "Moreover, Luo barely shares her thoughts with anyone. She doesn't even tell me everything. She needs someone who will be there for her forever, take care of her, and listen to all her worries. We have our own lives and, in the future, we will get married and get busy with our families. Who will take care of her then?"

Han Sheng Ming seemed dumbfounded. "…I didn't think about it…"

Zheng Mian sighed. "Of course you didn't. You hardly have a plan for the future. How can you think deeply about someone else's life before you act? If you did it intentionally, I would think of you as a heartless man and hate you."

"Mian…" Han Sheng Ming was completely defeated. Right now, he began to think that he did something terrible. 'What will I do if my little Luo Luo and Mian hate me now?' he wondered.

Zheng Mian shook her index finger and stated, "Calling my name won't get you anywhere. You should decide what you want to do. Deep down I know you don't want to lose your friend and sister. They are precious to you."

She continued, "You became jealous because your pretty cousin was with another man and she was taking his side. You can fool anyone with that look but not me."

"…Umm…" Han Sheng Ming's face flushed. He felt humiliated after being exposed by his girlfriend.

Zheng Mian moved closer and hugged him. "No 'umm' will do. You need to settle your emotions and do what you must do. If Luo continues eating less, she will end up in the hospital again. You don't want that, do you?"

Han Sheng Ming vigorously shook his head. "N-never!"

"Good." Zheng Mian smiled.

"Luo, are you sure you don't want to go to the library?" Beth asked.

They were in school. Their second class ended and Beth was heading toward the library since they had a break. However, Han Luo didn't want to go there.

Han Luo shook her head. "No, I just want to take some rest. I don't feel like studying at the moment. You go ahead."

"Are you okay? Did something happen? You don't look well." Beth was concerned.

Han Luo was a diligent student. Since she didn't want to go to the library, Beth doubted that something might have happened.

Han Luo forced a smile. "Nothing happened. I didn't sleep well because of a headache. I'm feeling tired now."

Beth thought that her friend was lying but she didn't push it anymore since Han Luo didn't want to talk about it. She said, "I see. Why don't I take you to the infirmary?"

Han Luo shook her head. "No, Beth. I want to go to the garden."

"All right, if you need anything remember to call me," Beth told her.

"Okay." Han Luo nodded.

After they parted, Han Luo aimlessly walked in the corridor. She had sent several texts to Mo Yuan but she didn't get any reply.

'Why isn't big brother Yuan replying to any of my tests? Is he really going to avoid me as he promised?' she pondered. Feeling dejected, she was on the verge of crying.

At that moment, someone soundlessly approached her from behind. All of a sudden, that person grabbed her right arm and pushed her into the corner of the corridor. It was a dark area. Students hardly came to this area.

Han Luo was frightened by the sudden attack. Chills ran down her spine. She was about to scream when her lips were blocked.

"!!!" Her eyes widened in surprise. Her heart was about to stop. She looked at the attacker and was even more surprised.

The attacker was none other than Mo Yuan.

Han Luo's heart leaped in joy. She teared up thinking that Mo Yuan didn't abandon her or avoid her. If he did, he wouldn't be kissing her so passionately right now.

She circled her arms around his neck and kissed him back with the same passion. "Ah… umm…" Sweet melodious moans escaped her mouth.

"Ah Luo…" Mo Yuan whispered her name with great affection. He cupped her face and strongly sucked her lower lip.

Han Luo shivered. She snuggled closer to him. She opened her mouth and let his tongue enter her mouth. Their tongues moved wildly.

When Han Luo almost drowned herself in kissing, she heard the voices of students. She opened her eyes in shock. They were still kissing. Only then she realized what they were doing in a public place. Her face flushed red like a ripe tomato. She started to push Mo Yuan away. "B-big brother Yuan… stop… nng…"

However, it didn't seem like Mo Yuan wanted to let her go any moment soon.

Han Luo felt one of his hands caressing her back and another one was roaming around her body. She trembled. "Big b-brother… mmm… Yuan…" She was unable to finish her words since he was blocking her lips.

When his hand slipped inside her top, she protested, "N-no… not here. People will see…"

As she said that, Mo Yuan's action paused for a second. He looked at her with heated eyes before taking her to an empty room.

In the dark, Han Luo didn't see any door. Seeing that she was in a room out of nowhere puzzled her. It was a storeroom. Everything was covered in dust. There was no sign of people coming here often.

Mo Yuan closed the door and whatever light was coming to the room was blocked. They were in a pitch black room.

Han Luo felt chills and snuggled closer. She didn't like completely dark places. Dark places reminded her about all the ghosts she had seen in the horror movies.

Mo Yuan caught her and showered her face with butterfly kisses. His right hand fondled her breast and his other hand groped her buttock and pulled her closer.

When her lower part was grinded against his, Han Luo's face flashed. 'He wouldn't reply to me and now is touching me. What a nerve!' She fumed in anger.

She lightly punched his chest and asked, "Why didn't you answer any of my tests? Big brother Yuan, you are a big bully."

Mo Yuan kissed the tip of her nose and answered her question, "So that I can show Xiao Ming that I have done what I had said."

Han Luo said, "You can always delete your text."

"But I cannot delete yours from my cell phone," Mo Yuan pointed out the loophole.

Han Luo lowered her head. "That's right… then how are we going to contact each other?" She placed her head on his chest and heard his heart beating. It was soothing. She liked it. She wanted to stay like this forever… maybe not in a dark room like this.

Mo Yuan patted her back and reassured her, "You don't have to worry about it. I've already prepared everything."

"Okay… but where did you sleep yesterday? Your room is being remodeled and you can't stay in the guestroom because of the sounds. Did you sleep in a hotel?" She was worried about it. It was another reason why she wasn't able to sleep last night.

Mo Yuan told her, "No, I stayed at Xiao Yujin's place."
