Mo Yuan looked at her angelic face for a while before asking her back, "What do you want? Is it a birthday wish?"
"No, I will tell you my birthday wish on my birthday. I want to ask you another thing," Han Luo demanded.
Mo Yuan inquired, "What do you want?"
She circled her finger on his chest while demanding cutely, "After the exam, our school will arrange a sports day. I gave my name for a few games. I want you to play with me the 'couple race'."
"So, you want me to have a 'couple race' with me," Mo Yuan concluded.
"Yep," Han Luo nodded.
"All right, I will become your partner," Mo Yuan agreed easily. "However, you have to tell me why you were avoiding us." He didn't forget his main purpose even though she changed the subject so cleverly.
Ha Luo pouted. She playfully asked, "What if I don't tell you?"
"Then I have to make sure that you tell me," Mo Yuan's fingers roamed around on the sidelines of her waist.
"!!!" Han Luo jolted in surprise. Her expression became funny. The sidelines of her waist were ticklish. She never showed or told anyone but somehow Mo Yuan discovered it.
He didn't show any mercy after seeing her reaction. He deliberately tickled her.
"Ahahahahahaha!" Han Luo laughed aloud. Her body jumped and she attempted to move away.
But he held her tightly in his arms and didn't let her go no matter how much she struggled.
She threw her legs and arms and wanted to be free from this torture. She laughed so much that her stomach began to hurt and tears formed in her eyes.
In the end, she became breathless and nearly lost consciousness. Nevertheless, she didn't speak a single word about her avoiding them.
Mo Yuan gave up. Though he didn't want her to keep it from him, he didn't wish to force her.
What if she hated him for being so aggressive?
Just when he thought that everything was fine since they became intimate, Han Luo began to avoid him in the school.
Although she talked to Han Sheng Ming, she avoided Mo Yuan.
It not only surprised him but also the students.
Han Sheng Ming wasn't bothered by it. As long as she talked to him, everything was fine.
Beth couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked, "Did you guys have lovers quarrel? Why are you not talking to Yuan? Last week he came to look for you in the class and threatened me to tell him where you were. I didn't know where you went and I told him so but he only gave me a cold glare in return. Only I know how frightened I was."
They were eating lunch in the garden. They avoided going to the canteen so that they didn't bump into two musketeers.
"Were you? But you still have a crush on him," Zheng Mian threw a remark at her.
Beth responded dreamily. "What can I do? Ice prince is the ice prince. We love him because it's his natural beauty." She was grinning like a fool.
Zheng Mian shook her head helplessly. She glanced at Han Luo and questioned her, "So, what are you planning on doing? I never thought you would avoid Yuan."
"Just wait and see," Han Luo answered mysteriously.
"That cannot do."
"You have to tell us!"
Her two friends were dying in curiosity.
"You don't have to wait very long," Han Luo explained.
She was right. They didn't have to wait long.
Mo Yuan came to meet her in the dancing club while skipping his music class. He felt like this was the only way he could deal with her.
Han Luo was naturally stunned seeing him acting so desperate.
He spotted her in the room and strode forward. In front of other students, he stood in front of her and asked, "Why are you doing this? Why are you not talking to me? Why are you hiding from me?"
"I'm not doing it, big brother Yuan. You have mistaken," Han Luo stepped backward and distanced herself from him.
Mo Yuan wasn't pleased with her action. His expression darkened. He protested, "That's a lie. You are clearly avoiding me."
Han Luo averted her gaze and stated, "Big brother Yuan, we are growing up. A man and a woman should have proper distance. We shouldn't get too intimate."
"And who on earth told you that? I will tear his mouth," Mo Yuan threatened. He was sure that someone told her something and that hurt her and she started to distance herself.
The students who were talking about their relationships and being jealous of Han Luo flinched in fear. They certainly didn't say anything but they were scared that Mo Yuan would do anything to them.
Han Luo protested, "But it's true, isn't it? We shouldn't talk to each other in public and have some distance-"
"Stop with your nonsense!" Mo Yuan chided her. "Why should we think what others say about us? We were doing just fine. You are only allowed to get close to me and talk to me and no other man. If anything, you have to stay away from those men who have eyes on you. The only person you are safe with is me. I won't allow you to keep a distance."
In the roundabout way, Mo Yuan publicly announced that he was going out with Han Luo.
The students surrounding them gaped at them. They were bewildered by Mo Yuan's possessiveness.
Who said that he was cold toward his girl?
Who said that he didn't have a treasure?
Who said that he didn't have a heart?
Who said that he couldn't be jealous?
Who said that he thought Han Luo as his sister?
He made them all realize that he was a boy who kept his treasure away close to his heart. He didn't allow others to even eye on what's his.
Han Luo's face reddened slightly. She gazed at him and asked, "Does that mean we can hold hands and hug each other anywhere without restrain?"
