My Beloved

[A/N: Hurry and give all of your vote or you won't get mass release next week and won't know who Han Luo has feelings for... or you can wait till next month. I'm happy as long as you are all happy ^_^]

"I wish that too. Big brother Yuan, you will stay with me, won't you?" Han Luo asked sweetly in a spoiled manner.

Mo Yuan stopped feeding her. He put down the bowl and gazed at her deeply. He controlled his expression and asked her in a magnetic voice, "Ah Luo, do you really want me to stay by your side forever?"

"Yes, forever," Han Luo firmly said.

Mo Yuan subtly bent his lips. He was upset but didn't show it. He inquired, "What about Xiao Yujin? What will you do about the marriage proposal?"

"That…" Han Luo paused.

The marriage proposal went over her head. It was completely out of her mind. After being reminded by Mo Yuan, she realized that she had unfinished business.

She opened her mouth to say something but she was interrupted by a sudden visitor.

"Little Luo Luo!" Han Sheng Ming opened the door and seeing her sitting up and eating, his heart was filled with happiness. He rushed and gave her a warm hug.

After hugging her for a good while he observed her carefully and nagged her, "I'm so happy that you are awake. Look at you. You are so pale and your body is so cold. You have to eat lots and lots."

Han Luo complained, "I will become a panda if I eat a lot, big brother Ming."

Han Sheng Ming shrugged. "Turn into a panda. I don't mind having a panda sister," rather he would love having a fat, soft, cute panda sister.

Han Luo objected, "But I mind! No guy will date me if I turn into a panda!"

Han Sheng Ming became confused. He questioned her, "Huh? You want to date… what about your marriage proposal?"

"Ahh, that…" she couldn't find the answer of why everyone was asking her about the marriage proposal.

She wished to answer when Tang Yujin came inside. He gently spoke, "I'm sorry, I'm late. I had to attend another council meeting." He smiled at Han Luo and said, "I'm glad you are awake, little Luo."

Han Luo awkwardly replied, "Thank you for worrying about me."

To tell the truth, it was hard for her to see such a gentle brother of her to be hurt by her selfish behavior. She would never want that.

Tang Yujin questioned her, "How are your arms? Are the wounds still painful?"

"Yes, it is! It's hard to move my arms." Han Luo tried to be as normal as possible.

All four of them knew about the marriage talking between Han Luo and Tang Yujin's families and they all knew that everybody in the room knew about it and most certainly three boys were waiting to know what Han Luo's answer was. For a fourteen year old girl, a five hundred ton stone would be lighter.

Only Han Luo could feel the pressure in the air.

Fortunately, Mo Yuan changed the subject. He said, "Ah Luo, you have to finish your meal before it gets cold."

"Yes, yes…" she agreed. She realized that she was sweating.

"Let me feed her." Tang Yujin came forward. "Xiao Yuan, didn't you feed her before we came? Why don't you take a rest?"

"You just came from school. Why don't you relax?" Mo Yuan suggested.

Tang Yujin calmly smiled at him and asked, "Xiao Yuan, when did you start to care for me? I'm impressed!"

There was an invisible spark between them.

"…" Han Luo looked between Tang Yujin and Mo Yuan. She was having a hard time sitting here. She could sense the tension was rising. If her right hand was free from the syringe and the saline tube, she would have run away from this room.

Han Sheng Ming couldn't get a clue why his two friends were trying to feed his sister. He declared, "She is MY sister. Let ME feed her." He snatched the bowl from Mo Yuan and began to feed Han Luo.

Han Luo quickly finished eating before her three big brothers started arguing about feeding her.

In the end, she was saved by two police officers. They asked her several questions about the killing incidents and also about the kidnapping.

Afterward, they asked her how she escaped. She answered them without hesitation. They praised her bravery.

Later, they showed her some photos and asked her if she could recognize them.

Han Luo recognized four of them. The police officers informed her that others were their underlings.

Before they left, she remembered something and asked, "Wait a minute! What about the tattoo guy?"

The police officers exchanged glances and one of them asked, "What tattoo guy?"

Han Luo replied, "A tattooed guy had a tattoo on his face."

He asked, "What kind of tattoo? Do you remember?"

Han Luo stayed silent for a while before replying, "No, I don't. I'm sorry. I was too nervous to check it carefully."

"It's fine. You have done more than enough." The other police officer turned on the tablet and showed her a picture. He said, "Take a look at this photo and tell us if you can recognize him."

Han Luo instantly recognized the person in the photo. She excitedly said, "Yes, that's him! I could never forget this ugly guy!"

The police officer nodded. "Very well, the other victim said the same thing. Thank you for confirming with us. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to locate this guy. He slipped out somehow. But, don't worry. We will catch him soon."

"Please do, officer. This guy is creepy," Han Luo requested.

The police officers nodded. They assured her saying, "We will do our best."

After they left, she finally relaxed.

The next day, Tang Yujin skipped school and took care of Han Luo despite her protest. She didn't wish for them to skip classes because of her.

Tang Yujin was gentler than the spring breeze and calmer than an ocean. He always smiled at her no matter what she said or what she asked for.

He fed her, brushed her hair, washed her feet, folded her washed clothes; he did everything without complaints.

The more he acted like this, the more it was hard for Han Luo. 

She wanted to talk to him about their marriage but didn't know how to approach. Tang Yujin also kept silent about it.

After lunch, Han Luo felt better and he took her outside the hospital and walked side by side. Occasionally, he would ask her if she was feeling uncomfortable.

That's when Han Luo stopped in her track and looked at Tang Yujin. "Big brother Yujin, let's talk about our marriage."

Tang Yujin's eyes glittered. He smiled at her so sweetly that her heart skipped a bit. She wasn't used to seeing this side of him.

He, who never expressed anything, never shared anything, somehow wanted to be her future life partner.

Han Luo had mixed feelings about this marriage.

She didn't dislike him; rather she liked him more because he was gentle and always let her do what she wanted. He never refused her. He never forced her. He was polite, gentle, and kind to her and everyone else.

However, there was something that bugged her and she couldn't pinpoint what it was.

That's why she decided to talk to him about it.

Tang Yujin waited patiently for what she wanted to say.

She started, "Big brother Yujin, actually I-"

She wasn't able to finish what she started. Before that, a long iron rod fell from the hospital roof.

Everyone around them screamed.

Han Luo looked up there and froze.. It was falling directly toward her.
