It is normal for students to hang around or play games or study in the library during the break. The studious students usually go to the library. The passionate students do club activities. Game team members plan for their next strategy to defeat their opponent or do some exercises. And, those who have no interest in any of those, they gather around and gossip.
Zheng Mian was one of them. She was in the same year as Han Sheng Ming and his friends. However, her results were as good as them. So, she was in a different section. During the break, she was looking around the school.
While walking randomly, she ended up in the backyard, and what she saw made her dumbstruck.
She saw Han Luo was sitting on Mo Yuan's lap and was playing with his tie. Mo Yuan's forehead was touching hers and he was intimately gazing at her. They were talking in a low tone as if whispering nothing but sweetness like lovers.
Zheng Mian paused, frowned, squinted her eyes, and when she still couldn't believe her eyes, she rubbed them. However, the scenario hadn't changed no matter what she did.
'Am I seeing this correctly? Hah, I knew something was going on between them. Luo is so possessive. She got three big brothers but her attention was all to him that night. When they perform together, they look deeply in love. Now I know my guess is right. A woman's instinct is never wrong,' she was proud of herself for hitting on the mark.
Suddenly an idea came to her mind. 'I should take some pictures. I bet our older brother Ming has no clue about it. A sis con like him only deserves this kind of punishment.' Zheng Mian took out her cell phone and snapped some photos. While doing so, she thought, 'I wonder what kind of face Luo will make is I show it to her.' She couldn't herself from giggling.
During lunchtime, Zheng Mian went to the cafeteria and found Han Luo and Beth eating together. "Hello girls, thank you for keeping a seat for me," she greeted them and sat right across Han Luo.
Han Luo smiled at her, "It's nothing. This is our usual seat. Beth always comes here before others and saves the seats for me."
Zheng Mian replied, "I see." She gazed at Beth and asked her, "What are you excited about? You didn't even touch your lunch."
Beth grinned ear to ear and answered, "Why wouldn't I? My ship is sailing!"
"What ship?" Zheng Mian became curious. She loved to gossip.
Beth showed Zheng Mian her mobile and declared, "Today we found out that our ice prince Yuan has given out campus belle Nana Shimizu a green jade mobile accessory."
Zheng Mian had only put some noodles in her mouth. Upon hearing Beth's declaration, she almost choked. After coughing and drinking water, she finally calmed down and asked, "Come again?"
Beth repeated, "Ice prince Yuan gave Nana a souvenir after coming back from Japan."
Zheng Mian's eyes glanced at Han Luo for a second and then she focused on Beth. "Are you… sure about this?"
Zheng Mian felt like she was going crazy. She believed in her judgment and always thought that she could understand men. When she observed Mo Yuan, he looked like a sincere person who would devote his life to one woman. However, what she heard from Beth, it didn't seem like his character at all.
'Who is Nana? Why would Yuan give her a present? Did he really give her a present? Why isn't Luo saying anything? Does this mean he really did give that girl a present? Then what did I just see in the backyard? Or maybe he is trying to make Luo jealous,' Zheng Mian's head was brainstorming like a roller coaster.
Beth answered her question, "Of course it's true. Nana became all shy when her friend mentioned Yuan."
Zheng Mian frowned. "She only became shy. She didn't verbally answer, did she? Then, it doesn't mean anything. Moreover, I don't believe that Yuan would ever give presents to someone." In her mind, she smugly thought, 'After all, he has only eyes for one specific girl.'
Beth instantly calmed down. She looked as though someone splashed water on her burning body. She asked, "What do you mean? Why wouldn't he give others presents? Could that be he already has someone?"
Zheng Mian shrugged. She answered dramatically, "Who knows? All I think is if he really likes someone and she accepts him, they will announce the whole world."
"That's what happens in fiction. Came back to earth," Beth said.
Han Luo gazed at Zheng Mian and asked, "Why do you think big brother Yuan wouldn't give anyone a present?"
Zheng Mian raised her eyebrow. "When was I ever wrong about men, love?"
Han Luo nodded. She smiled and told Beth, "I've already talked to big brother Yuan and he said that he never gave any girl any gift except for me."
Beth blinked at her. "What are you saying? Why wouldn't he? Don't they always go to the library and use the same spot to sit? Everyday Nana sits across him. They quietly study and it looks so romantic."
Zheng Mian commented in a disinterested tone, "Sorry to break your spell but it never means that they are in love. Maybe she is just following him around because she has been bewitched by Yuan's beauty."
Beth shook her head and strongly denied. "That's not possible. Nana is our idol, our goddess. There is no girl as beautiful as her, as elegant as her, as graceful as her."
Zheng Mian shook her head helplessly. "I was wrong. You are the one who was bewitched by that girl named Nana."
Beth was going to argue but Zheng Mian asked Han Luo, "What's your relationship with Yuan?"
Han Luo didn't think she would ask her this question. She answered, "He is my big brother."
That's not what Zheng Mian wanted to know.. She clarified, "You guys are not blood related so don't just make it look like you guys are. Aside from that what's your feeling for Yuan?"
