My Beloved

"Luo, over here!" Beth waved her hand from her seat.

Han Luo entered the class and sat on the seat in front of Beth's desk. She was a bit nervous since it was the first time after two years she attended a class in London.

Everyone's gaze was following her. All though they heard that their transfer classmate had turned into a professional dancer as well as a model seeing her two years later made them feel like they had met someone VIP.

Han Luo didn't have the time to breathe; before that, all the students of her class gathered around her.

"Luo, is that you right?"

"You have become more beautiful?"

"Which career are you choosing? modeling career or dancing career?"

"How's your preparation for the upcoming exam?"

"Do you have time to study?"

 "You have become the pride of our school."

"Are you and Jared rivals?"

What was his reaction after he failed against you?"

Han Luo started to have a headache. She never thought her classmates would question her like paparazzi. Just like a professional, she smiled sweetly and greeted them. "Hello everyone, it's good to see you all. Of course I remember you all. Although I stayed for a few months last time, I've memorized everyone's name. I'll continue being a professional dancer and modeling is just a hobby. Moreover, Jared and I have become good friends and we are still contacting each other. He doesn't have any hard feelings. He is a professional dancer after all."

A girl covered her face. "Wow! You are taking his side. Could that be you guys are an item?"

Han Luo retailed strongly, "What? No! We are just friends."

Another classmate said, "But last two years you two paired up at least six times. Who doesn't know about your great partnership? You two have good chemistry."

Han Luo objected saying, "Good chemistry is only on dancing, not in other cases." She only saw Jared as her friend and a good dancing partner. Other than that, she had no interest in him.

While they were talking, Nana Shimizu walked inside the class. She was as elegant as ever. Her blonde hair shone and her black eyes sparkled with intelligence. She paused after seeing Han Luo and gave a slight nod.

Han Luo did the same. They were merely acquaintances. That's why it didn't matter if none of them talked to each other or not.

As soon as Nana Shimizu sat on her seat, her friends surrounded her like bees. Some of her admirers also gathered. Nana Shimizu gracefully greeted everyone. When she took out her cell phone from her school bag, everyone saw a green jade accessory hanging on it.

One of her friends praised, "Wow! Such a unique accessory! It looks expensive."

Another one added, "Maybe it's the famous green jade known in China."

Nana Shimizu corrected her, "It's from Japan and I don't know if it's expensive or not. It's a gift from a precious person. No matter what the price is, it's priceless to me," saying that she slightly blushed.

Girls and boys became curious.

A girl asked, "Who is that person?"

A boy said, "I want to know who the lucky guy is. I'm so jealous."

Another boy patted her shoulder and said, "Man, he has to be someone handsome, rich, and powerful. Can't you see how expensive this gift is? She is out of your league man."

All of a sudden, one of Nana Shimizu's friends said, "I know. Ming and Yuan went to japan on winter vacation. Ming posted some pictures too. Since it's Nana's precious person, could it be Yuan?"

Han Luo was talking to Beth. Upon hearing that, she paused and looked at Nana Shimizu's direction. Since students were encircling around her, she couldn't see the jade accessory.

Beth was talking about how to improve her blog. Noticing that her friend was distracted she snapped her fingers in front of Han Luo's eyes and asked, "Where are you looking at?"

Han Luo was in a daze. Hearing the sound of the snap, she was startled and composed herself. She glanced at her friend and said, "I just heard that big brother Ming posted some pictures."

"Oh Ming," Beth's face became dreamy. "He has an Instagram account and he posts pictures and videos from time to time. He has many followers. His followers are more than the total number of students in our school."

Han Luo was dumbfounded. She never thought her clumsy cousin could be good at handling social media. She commented, "I didn't know he was that popular. He never told me. Show me his account."

"Let me show you," Beth showed her Han Sheng Ming's account with great enthusiasm. Just as she said, he was indeed popular among girls and boys of their age. Although Han Luo was looking at the pictures, her heart was elsewhere.

On break, Mo Yuan was waiting for her in the library as he promised. However, after five minutes, she didn't come.

Mo Yuan wondered, 'Could it be she is stuck with something? She was never late before… She would have texted me if she was delayed. Maybe she had forgotten…'

At that time, the door of the library opened. Mo Yuan looked in that direction with great expectation. However, someone else entered. Mo Yuan was disappointed. He could only send Han Luo a text. Almost immediately, he got an answer. She wrote: 'I'm at the garden in the backyard.'

Mo Yuan furrowed his eyebrows. He asked himself, 'Why is she out there in the middle of cold weather?' He quickly gathered his books and left the library without a delay. He walked in the corridor, almost colliding with other students, and rushed to the direction of the backyard.

Han Luo was indeed in the backyard garden. Last night it snowed a lot. Because of that, the place was covered in white snow. A girl was standing alone wearing a maroon colored winter jacket, skirt, along with a black woolen scarf, black leggings, and shoes. Her long hair was tied in a long braid. Some strands of her hair hanging on both sides of her face.

Mo Yuan walked forward and held her close to his warm body. He asked in a gentle and composed manner, "Ah Luo, why are you here? Do you want to freeze to death?"
