Volume 1 Chapter 13 Han Luo Wants To Play (1/2)

It was already noon. The sun flared above them, glaring with all its might. It had become too hot. The boys took a brief break, during their swim, before starting again. The water felt like heaven in this hot, hellish weather. In the meantime, a maid brought some cupcakes for Han Luo. She was in the shadows, sitting on Mr. Hui's lap. He merrily fed her the cupcakes while keeping an eye on the boys.

But boredom smothered Han Sheng Ming; he wanted to mess around. The mischievous boy splashed water over Tang Yujin and Mo Yuan. Tang Yujin tried to kick Han Sheng Ming, as a counter-attack, but his friend briskly dodged. Mo Yuan used his legs to trap Han Sheng Ming's wild legs. After the two friends captured the playful imp, they started to tickle him.

Han Sheng Ming could no longer withstand the attacks from both sides. ”Ahahahaha! I'm dying! Stop! Guys! Ahahaha! I won't do it anymore! Hahaha I'm sorry!” But the boys didn't show any mercy.

Mr. Hui didn't say anything, as he wanted the trio to enjoy themselves. He believed that if they didn't enjoy swimming, they wouldn't want to learn it properly. If that had ever happened, it would be much harder to teach them and it already was quite hard.

At that same moment, a butler came with a handset. He politely stated, ”Young Master Han, there is a call from the Han Mansion.”

Tang Yujin and Mo Yuan let go of Han Sheng Ming, finally relieving him from this suffering. The victim's eyes were red, and puddles of tears formed in his eyes. Even his throat had become sore after screaming, and his stomach was in pain after laughing so hard. He could barely swim towards the butler and trembled when taking the handset. ”Ha-he-hello?”

”Sheng Ming, didn't I tell you to take Luilui and Wanwan with you?” It was Du Liu, her gruff voice giving off an air of irritation. ”Why didn't you listen to me? Luilui and Wanwan got ready and waited for you at the entrance, yet you escaped using the back door. Why are you behaving in this manner?”

Han Sheng Ming frowned. ”Mommy, you know my friends don't like Luilui. She isn't cute, talks a lot, and is way too clingy.”

Du Liu began chiding her son. ”How could you talk about your sister like that?”

Han Sheng Ming protested, ”Mommy, I'm telling the truth. If you want everybody to like Luilui, you should teach her proper manners.”

The spiteful woman sneered. ”And Xiao Luo? What is she doing? Is she being cute and isn't talking a lot and isn't being clingy like a good girl?” Du Liu was being sardonic. She strongly believed that Han Luo used her cute face and apparent coquettish smile to steal the hearts of all men.

”Yep! While we boys were swimming, Luo Luo ate cupcakes. As you said mommy, like a good girl!”

”What, she what a good girl?” Du Liu stammered. ”God all she ever does is eat!”
