My Beloved

[A/N: You got 1 day ^_^]

Han Sheng Ming and Mo Yuan came out of Tang Yujin's room after staying there for half an hour. Both of them were silent.

Han Sheng Ming felt uneasy and broke this silence. "Xiao Yuan, do you think little Luo Luo will agree to marry Xiao Yujin just because he saved her? Will she do it out of guilt or because she really likes him enough to agree to marry him?"

"If we want to find out what she is thinking, we better talk to her first," Mo Yuan suggested in a composed manner.

They went to talk to Han Luo. 

They saw Noah sitting on the couch and reading a book. Seeing them, he nodded and went out leaving the youngsters alone..

Han Luo was lying on the bed. Her eyes were closed. She looked better yesterday but today she was emotionally exhausted.

Han Sheng Ming's heart ached for his cousin. He stepped closer and gently stroked her head.action

Han Luo slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were shimmering. Seeing Han Sheng Ming, the lights in her eyes dimmed. She was expecting someone else.

Han Sheng Ming didn't notice this change of expression. He questioned her, "Little Luo Luo, are you all right?"

Han Luo opened her mouth. She asked him back, "How's big brother Yujin?"

"…He is resting," Han Sheng Ming replied. He didn't think she was that worried about his friend.

She inquired, "Did he wake up?"

Han Sheng Ming wanted to answer but Mo Yuan spoke first. He announced, "He did. He took his meal and then fell asleep once again."

Han Luo sighed in relief. "Great," she quietly said and closed her eyes again. 

She couldn't sleep because of the tension. Once she was notified that Tang Yujin regained his consciousness, she relaxed her body and drifted to dreamland.

Han Sheng Ming and Mo Yuan didn't stay there longer. They let her rest and stepped outside.

Han Sheng Ming asked him in a low tone, "Was it all right to lie to her? Xiao Yujin still hasn't woken up yet."

Mo Yuan answered, "If we didn't tell her a lie, she wouldn't be able to sleep. Didn't you see how she looked? If this continues, she won't be able to get out of the hospital in a week."

"You are right about that," Han Sheng Ming cursed under his breath. "That murderer is yet to be found. I don't want to leave little Luo Luo and Xiao Yujin in the hospital without any protection."

Mo Yuan whispered, "Two police officers are guarding Ah Luo and the other two police officers are guarding Xiao Yujin outside their rooms in disguise."

"!!!" Han Sheng Ming's eyes widened in surprise. He looked around but didn't see anything suspicious.

Mo Yuan assured them, "I heard from Noah. I didn't see them either. Let's go home for today. We will come here tomorrow."

"You sure are calm," Han Sheng Ming commented.

Mo Yuan said nothing. Out of all of them, he was the one who was suffering mentally the most.

He blamed himself for not staying with Han Luo when she needed help, he lamented for not saving her instead of Tang Yujin. He didn't mind staying in the ICU; he didn't care if he was in the coma trying to save her.

He wished it wasn't Tang Yujin but him.

That way, Han Luo wouldn't think about Tang Yujin so much that she would fall sick.

Only Han Luo knew what she was thinking about this marriage proposal.

Two days later, Zheng Mian came back to London from her trip and visited Han Luo.

Seeing Han Luo in the hospital bed, she commented, "Girl, you scared me to death. I was gone for two weeks and you managed to make the world upside down."

Seeing her close friend after two weeks, Han Luo gave her a weak smile. She was genuinely happy to see her friend but she wasn't in the mood to smile.

"How are you doing now?" Zheng Mian inquired.

Han Luo answered, "I'm doing better than before. My arms were healing faster than I imagined. The doctor said that my arms will heal in two weeks. He couldn't say for sure if there will be marks or not."

Zheng Mian commented, "As long as you cover the marks with concealer, it won't be a problem but I guess no one wants marks in their beautiful body. I would have freaked out if I got any scar in my body, that's for sure. Then again, saving one's life is more important than caring about marks."

"How much did you hear about the incident?" Han Luo asked.

"I heard pretty much everything. How you became an enemy of a tattooed guy, Nana saving you, you guys escaped but Yujin got hurt on your behalf and you two are almost engaged." Zheng Mian paused and observed her friend's reaction. 

She asked curiously, "So, are you going to agree because he saved you?"

"What do you think?" Han Luo asked her in return.

Zheng Mian scratched her head. "That's a dilemma. If you love him enough to spend the rest of your life with him, you can always agree whether he saved you or not."

"However, if you are confused about this whole marriage and life partner thing; and Yujin's sacrifice makes you guilty, then I don't know what to say. I mean you will be a grateful person to marry him out of guilt but it will be a narrow minded move if he genuinely likes you and you don't." Zheng Mian shrugged. She was also clueless about this.

Seeing her friend looking troubled, she came up with an idea, "Why don't you tell them to postpone the idea of marriage until you grow up? I know Asian people are too into marriage but things can change if you want to. What if you regret it later? What if you fall for someone else after getting engaged? That would be more disgraceful though I wouldn't care if it was me."

All of a sudden, she recalled something and asked, "Hey, don't tell me that Yujin is your first crush."

Han Luo finally responded, "My first crush is...."
