Chapter 45 - HAN LUO SHOULD LISTEN TO HER BIG BROHTER MING
After Alex was taken away by his maid, Alisha, Tang Yujin took his hand away from Han Luo's. The young girl ran to Han Sheng Ming. "Big brother Ming, you are bleeding! Does it hurt a lot?" Her voice was shallow and quivered. Ever since the accident, she was scared of blood; the mere sight of that red liquid was her trigger.
Han Sheng Ming hid his previous intimidating expression behind a wide grin. "I'm fine. It doesn't hurt at all. Your big brother Ming knows karate and I'm very strong. I can fight anyone!"
However, Han Luo's eyes still tinted red. Tang Yujin leaned towards her and wiped away her tears. "Don't worry," he said, "even though his injuries aren't hurting him, we'll take him to the hospital."
"Hospital is no good." Han Luo shook her head. "Hospital took away mommy's life. Daddy went to the hospital and never returned." She wept silently and her small body shook.
Han Sheng Ming and Mo Yuan froze. They didn't know that to do. They had no idea how to comfort an orphan. They could never understand how it feels to lose their precious parents.
Tang Yujin hugged the young girl. "Hospitals also save people. The hospital saved my grandfather."
Han Luo rubbed her eyes. "Really?"
"Of course. He was sick and couldn't speak or move. We took him to the hospital, and he was treated there. A month later, he came back. He didn't look sick at all!" Tang Yujin smiled kindly and sweetly. "And little Luo looks so pretty today. Don't cry." He planted a kiss on her cheek. His lips attached to her cheek for three seconds before Han Sheng Ming realized what happened and pulled him away. He screamed, "Hey Yujin! What do you think you are doing to my cute little Luo Luo? Don't make her dirty!"
Mo Yuan's body stiffened.
Han Luo shyly cupped her right cheek that had been 'dirtied' by Tang Yujin. She glanced at Tang Yujin. "Big brother Yujin, I was told by big brother Yuan that you can only kiss when you like someone. Does that mean you like me?"
"Yes, I like you the most." Tang Yujin couldn't help but smile at Han Luo's sweetness. He wanted to take her with him.
Han Sheng Ming didn't hear anything after Han Luo's first sentence. "Wait, did you just call him 'big brother Yuan'?!"
Tang Yujin noticed it too, but he wasn't as surprised as Han Sheng Ming. Han Luo was so cute – how would've Mo Yuan been able to withstand her charm?
She replied, "Yes, I did. I call all of you that. How can I not call big brother Yuan by his name?"
Han Sheng Ming wordlessly touched her forehead and checked her temperature. "No, you don't have a fever… Little Luo Luo tell me what is 2 + 2?"
"4. But big brother Ming, why are you asking me that?" Han Luo was completely clueless about the reason for her cousin's sudden strange behavior.
"I think you lost your mind, little Luo Luo." Han Sheng Ming's face had become slightly pale out of anxiety.
"All right, let's go and enjoy the festival!" Tang Yujin pushed Han Sheng Ming away.
"First let's go to the hospital," Assistant Jennifer interrupted, "and then we will go to other places."
These days were fun, but Ma Rui completely freaked out when she saw the photo of Tang Yujin kissing Han Luo's cheek. She made sure that the young girl wouldn't be alone with Tang Yujin ever again. A week later, the children and Ma Rui went back to China with a content heart.
-------
Han Luo now was in the first year of primary school. Because of her cuteness and friendly attitude, it was easy for her to become friends with everyone in the class, except for Han Luilui and her friends; they couldn't stand Han Luo's presence at all.
The thing that made them hate her even more was her closeness with Han Sheng Ming and his two friends, who would always visit Han Luo in class during lunchtime. Han Sheng Ming, Tang Yujin, and Mo Yuan were in their second year, and their class was opposite Han Luo's class. It only took ten steps to go to her class.
This day wasn't any different; Han Sheng Ming once again had come to meet his cute cousin. "Little Luo Luo!" He waved his hand from the door. Han Luo saw him and smiled brightly. She went to him and saw Tang Yujin and Mo Yuan with him.
She asked, "Why do you always come here? Don't you want to have fun with the boys in your class?"
Han Sheng Ming grinned. "How can that be? They aren't as cute as you."
Tang Yujin chuckled. "Little Luo is too pretty. We don't want you to get distracted by some bugs." His mouth was smiling but when his eyes ventured around the class, the 'bugs' flinched.
Han Sheng Ming pulled his cousin to the corridor and asked, "Little Luo Luo, don't trust the boys in your class. Stay away from them. If they try to be overly friendly, avoid them. Don't even look at them… also…"
He recited those sentences every day. It was enough to make Han Luo annoyed. She puffed her face angrily and declared, "Big brother Ming, you always tell me to avoid them. But they are good friends. We play together and they help me whenever I need help and they also care for me. Please don't say anything not nice! If they hear, they'll get hurt."
Tang Yujin patted her head. "Yes, I also think Sheng Ming is being unreasonable."
Han Sheng Ming was stunned. "Wha-!"
Tang Yujin didn't give him any attention. He carefully retorted, "But little Luo, he is just worried about you. After all, we are boys and we know what boys are thinking when they approach girls. You can be friendly with them but at least have ten girl friends with you when you are with boys. Don't stay alone with the boys.. We worry."
