It was just a simple kiss on the cheek but Mo Yuan felt that all his rationality was being eaten by thousands of bugs. His left cheek was getting numb. The place where her lips touched burned a hole and spread the warmth all over his body. "Ah Luo!" He whispered her name with great difficulty and his right arm on her back and his left arm on her waist tightened. He felt how squishy her breasts were. He almost wanted to smash that soft body against his.
"Big brother…" Han Luo moved her lips and called out to him. She didn't know what to do in this kind of situation. She hugged him tightly as she felt nervous and buried her head on his shoulder. Her lips were right in front of his left ear. When her milky voice entered his ear, Mo Yuan lost his patience. He turned over and pushed her down.
"Ow! Big brother Yuan, be a little gentle. It hurts…" Han Luo whimpered.
Only then Mo Yuan became aware of her twisted ankle. It was beneath his leg. He carefully moved his leg. He looked at her pained expression and felt helpless. He slightly lowered his head and his thin lips touched her soft, supple cheek. He said in a hoarse voice, "Hug me if it hurts. Ah Luo, be obedient."
Han Luo was guilelessly obedient. Her arms went around his neck and she hugged him without resisting. Both of their bodies were warm and they were feeling hot at the end of November. They were each other's embrace until their hearts calmed down slowly.
Later, Ma Rui hugged Han Luo in the hotel lobby. "Luo'er, are you all right? Why are you so skinny? Did you eat and sleep well these past few weeks?"
"Hmm… I did." Han Luo replied carelessly. Her head was still occupied with what happened just a few minutes ago.
Ma Rui touched her forehead. She spoke worriedly, "Luo'er, your face is red. Your body is warm. Did you catch a cold again?" She glared at her son and scolded him, "Xiao Yuan, just how many times I have to tell you that you have to take good care of Luo'er? Look, she caught a fever."
"Fever?" Mo Yuan strode forward and checked Han Luo's temperature. She barely looked at him. He realized why her face was flushed and she was warm. He gently rubbed her head and looked at his mother. "Mom, she didn't catch a cold. Just let her rest a couple of days. She will be fine. If you still worry, take her to the hospital for a checkup."
Ma Rui interrogated her son, "Are you sure she didn't catch a cold?"
"I'm positive." Mo Yuan replied calmly. He swiftly took Han Luo in his arms and walked to the direction of the car. Han Luo quietly hugged his neck. He put her down on the passenger seat and let her go. When he noticed that Han Luo unwillingly took her hands off, he smiled and kissed her forehead. "Get well soon and wait another week."
Han Luo finally looked at him. She was puzzled by his words but she didn't get the time to say anything. Mo Yuan already closed the door.
Ma Rui sat on the driver seat and started the engine. The car drove off. Han Luo looked at Mo Yuan till he disappeared out of her sight.
Ma Rui raised them. She could feel something was different about them today. Han Luo was too quiet and Mo Yuan seemed more peaceful. Suddenly her eyes grew wide. 'Oh my, don't tell me something happened last night! However, Luo'er was fine in the morning. Maybe something happened after she woke up.' She gave a quick glance at Han Luo who was looking at her hands in a daze.
'She looks like a girl in love. OMG!' Ma Rui suddenly got excited. 'Did it happen? Did they start to feel for each other? Lord Buddha, have you listened to my prayers? I'm so happy!'
Lord Buddha was chanting a mantra from heaven. Upon hearing Ma Rui's prayer, he was startled. "Amitabha! I would never do such a shameful act. How could you accuse me, my child?"
Ma Rui didn't hear the tearless complaints of Lord Buddha and happily drove to the hotel.
Noah was waiting at the hotel lobby. After seeing that Han Luo arrived, he came forward and opened the door for her. He already knew about her condition since she called in the morning. He straightly carried her to her room. He placed her on a couch and asked, "Are you okay?"
Han Luo was already out of the daze. She smiled at him and said, "Yes, I'm good."
Noah wasn't so sure. She wasn't as cheerful as before. However, he couldn't blame her after losing because of some broken heels. He said, "I'll prepare a warm bath for you. Stay here."
"Okay," Han Luo agreed. After he went to the bathroom, she covered her face. 'Man, I think I totally screwed up. When I wanted big brother Yuan to be my lover, I didn't mean this to happen. Now I think I'm getting addicted to it. Can we still be able to go back after acting like this?'
Meanwhile, Mo Yuan was playing a grand piano in the hotel and everyone was listening to the beautiful melody his fingers were creating. Yet, his mind was full of Han Luo; her soft kisses and her sweet voice.
'I thought I would be able to restrain myself but when she said that she wanted to become my lover, I lost it completely. Now I'm standing on a thread that can be broken easily. When that happens…' Mo Yuan recalled her words, "Big brother Yuan, be a little gentle. It hurts!"
He closed his eyes and played the last note. After that, he stood up and bowed. When he walked out of the lobby, he met Jared.
"I was looking for you," Jared said.
