Volume 1 Chapter 49 Mo Yuans Reasons (1/2)

”No one hates you,” Mo Yuan firmly denied. He felt his heart splinter after seeing her crying so bitterly and pitifully. ”You are amazing. How can anyone ever hate you? The only bad people are the ones who have bad hidden goals, say rude things to you, or bully you.”

Han Luo shook her head. ”Big brother Yuan, that's not true. You hate me too, right? You never called me Xiao Luo, like my cousins, or Luo'er, like mom and uncle, or little Luo, like big brother Yujin and big brother Ming. You don't play with me or smile at me. When mom tells you to do something with me, you look angry. You're only here because somebody made you, right?”

Mo Yuan was stunned. He didn't think that she would be so observant of his behavior. Indeed, he treated her coldly and still hadn't called her or treated her as a big brother should. He always distanced her from himself. He didn't like girls that's for sure. But it didn't mean that he disliked her. She was better than those spoiled brats and he knew it. He just didn't want to coddle her like the rest of them; he just thought someone had to be strict to keep her at bay.

He heavily exhaled. ”It's not that. It's not because I hate you. I thought if I acted like a scary big brother, you wouldn't behave.” Now he knows why she always avoided him it was because she thought he hated her. 'She must've been sad thinking I hated her.' He felt mortified.

Han Luo couldn't understand. ”But Ah Luo always behaved, right?”

”Yes, you always did and that's why I like you.” Mo Yuan only could rub her head to show some care.

”You like me, but you're still mean. Big brother Yuan, you liar!” Han Luo's tears had dried out, but she was still upset.

Mo Yuan gently retorted, ”You'll understand when you grow up-”

”Little Luo Luo! Where are you?” Han Sheng Ming's voice could be heard from the distance.

Mo Yuan took her hand. ”Should we go? We have to punish the bullies, don't we?”

”Okay” Han Luo slowly stood up. They came to the open space where they met Han Sheng Ming and Tang Yujin. They froze seeing her swollen face and ran towards her.

”What happened? Who did this?” Han Sheng Ming asked without taking a breath.

”First, let's take her to the nurse's room. The nurse is still there!” Tang Yujin exclaimed. His countenance was loose and had anxiety painted all over it. He and Mo Yuan exchanged glances.

”Sheng Ming, you take her. I and Yujin will come later,” Mo Yuan replied.

”All right,” Han Sheng Ming agreed. He carried Han Luo on his back and took her to the infirmary. The nurse was a friendly woman. She gasped at the sight of Han Luo's face. ”Oh, my goodness, how did this happen? Did you trip and fall or-”

Han Sheng Ming interrupted, ”You mean 'who did this to her'?” The nurse was in disbelief it was clear that someone had hit Han Luo, but she couldn't believe that a student would do that to another student, let alone a young girl. The boy was as perplexed as to the nurse on who did this to poor Han Luo.

She gently treated the little girl's injury, with Han Sheng Ming sitting next to his cousin. After that, the nurse gave her a bar of chocolate because she was brave during her treatment.

While Han Luo was resting on the bed, Han Luo's class teacher and the Director of Student Affairs came inside, alongside Mo Yuan and Tang Yujin. The elders asked the nurse about Han Luo's condition. The nurse spoke the truth and added, ”I never thought our students would bully a little girl like that. She is cute too.”
