My Beloved

They seemed concerned about her. They were all above fourteen and Han Luo was the only one who was twelve.

"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern. Um…" Han Luo hesitated before asking, "Can you tell me where my big brother Yuan is?"

A girl said, "Oh, Yuan is your elder brother. I knew you were his younger sister. When he saw you getting hurt, he ran to the venue. He was very worried. We all were, weren't we?"

Others nodded in agreement.

Han Luo was surprised to hear that. "Really? He did? I must meet him. Please take me to him."

"Sure, sure, come with me. I'll take you to him." Another girl took the lead. She grabbed Han Luo's hand and pulled her into the elevator. Before the elevator door closed, she waved at her friends, "See you guys later!"

"Tsk! How can she take the opportunity like that?"action

"We were too slow to react!"

That girl took Han Luo to the fifth floor. They stood in the middle of the corridor and knocked on the door on the left side. However, no one answered.

Han Luo stepped forward and knocked on the door again and this time used her voice too. "Big brother Yuan, are you there?"

In three seconds, the door was opened. Mo Yuan was wearing pajamas. He was ready to go to bed.

He looked at Han Luo in surprise. He looked down at her feet and seeing her bandaged feet only wrapped with plastics wrappers, his pupils constricted.

"Ah Luo!" He quickly carried Han Luo in his arms. Before the girl who escorted Han Luo had the chance to speak, he closed the door with his leg.

The door slammed loudly right on her face. "What the…" The girl was speechless. She was thinking of having a little conversation with Mo Yuan while taking Han Luo to his room but her plan was crushed by Mo Yuan's rude attitude.

Meanwhile, Mo Yuan carried Han Luo and placed her on his bed with the utmost care. He gently asked, "Why are you not wearing your boots? And, you shouldn't have walked with your legs in such a condition."

"But big brother Yuan, I wanted to see you badly." Han Luo said with a pitiful expression. This time, she wasn't pretending. Just seeing his tender expression made her feel like crying.

Mo Yuan paused at her words. He couldn't tell her to call him when she had no cellphone. He said, "How about I buy you a cellphone tomorrow?"

Han Luo shook her head. "Big brother Yujin said that he would buy me one. I don't need any mobile from you." She added, "Moreover, I will go back to mom tomorrow. I don't need a mobile."

"All right," Mo Yuan agreed. He carefully held her left leg and unwrapped the plastic wrapper.

Han Luo flinched. She covered her mouth so that she wouldn't make a sound.

Despite her effort, it didn't get unnoticed by Mo Yuan. "Does it hurt a lot?"

She answered in a shaky voice, "A little."

Mo Yuan unwrapped the plastic from both of her slender legs and cupped her face. He affectionately said, "You don't have to act bravely in front of me, Ah Luo. I want to be a person with whom you can share your pain. Got it?"

"Hmm…" Han Luo lowered her head and held back her tears.

Mo Yuan touched her face and hands, and found that they were freezing cold. He told her, "I'll prepare hot chocolate for you."

Han Luo nodded without making eye contact. She was feeling cold too.

After drinking hot chocolates, Han Luo placed the mug on the table. Mo Yuan wiped her mouth with a tissue paper and asked, "Do you want to talk to mom or Xiao Ming?"

Han Luo shook her head.

"How about Noah?"

She still shook her head.

"Fine then. Let's go back to your room. I'll personally carry you there." Mo Yuan stood up and wanted to take his jacket.

However, Han Luo suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Big brother Yuan, I want to stay with you tonight. Is that okay?"

"You… want to stay here…" Mo Yuan thought he was dreaming. He was thinking about keeping a little distance from her after talking to Noah. However, the person who was avoiding him, now wanted to stay close to him.

How could he say 'no' to her?

There was a pregnant pause while Mo Yuan just stared at her. He then rubbed her head. "All right, you can stay with me tonight."

He gently unbuttoned her overcoat and sweater and then, he helped her lay down on the bed. He tucked her inside the comforter and asked, "Do you want me to turn off the light?"

"Yes, please." Han Luo softly answered.

Mo Yuan turned off the light and came to his bed. He hesitated just a little as if he was going down into a hole full of spikes.

He wasn't used to sharing a bed with people, let alone with a cute young girl that he is fond of. He finally steeled himself and went under the same comforter Han Luo was under.

Just when he thought everything was going normal, without any warning Han Luo snuggled closer to his chest. His whole body stiffened. He really wished they were older.

However, his chain of thoughts halted when he noticed her trembling. He knew she couldn't open up to anyone and so she came to someone whom she thought was very close to her. Mo Yuan was overwhelmed that she chose to stay with him when she was feeling the worst.

All of his hesitance and doubts evaporated. He turned to face her and hugged her closely. Afterward, he gently stroked her head. "Ah Luo, it's okay if you want to cry as much as you want."

Soon after, Han Luo started to weep softly. Her weep turned into a wail. She buried her face into his chest and cried from the bottom of her heart.. Her crying became louder and louder by the second.
