Chapter 74 - LET'S PLAY VIDEO GAMES
The two of them had dinner together. Looking at the plain rice, fish soup, steamed broccoli, spicy beef pepper stir-fry, ginger cashew chicken salad, and almond jelly, Han Luo was filled with joy. "Big brother Yuan, I can't believe you still remember my favorite dishes!"
"How could I not remember?" Mo Yuan carefully plucked the bones of the fish and put the boneless fish on her bowl. "You are growing. You need to eat a lot." If Martha were there right now, her heart would've burned in fury when seeing this girl being treating like a princess.
Han Luo pouted. "Why are you acting as if I'm the only one who's growing? You are growing too. You aren't that taller than me, you know! One day, I'm going to grow so tall that I'll surpass you. Just wait and see."
Mo Yuan lifted his right eyebrow and discreetly smiled. "I'll look forward to that."
The young Chef Rose was there to serve the meal. She was standing in the corner, and gazing at the scenario made her feel fuzzy. 'It's so good to be young!' she thought to herself.
After dinner, Han Luo called Butler Noah to let him know that she was going to sleep at the Mo Mansion. "I don't mind," said Butler Noah, "It has been years since you two talked. Spend some good time there. I will let your cousin know."
Han Sheng Ming and Tang Yujin were both at her house. Knowing that she wouldn't be at the house that night, Han Sheng Ming was ready to attack the Mo Mansion. "That monster! He is going to eat my little Luo Luo. Aw man, his Head Maid also gives me the creeps… she's like a scary ghost straight out of a horror film! I'm going to rescue my cute little sister from them – I have to!"
Though Tang Yujin was disappointed that Han Luo wasn't with them, he still maintained a rational demeanor. He stopped his overly excited friend and declared, "If you do that, little Luo might get angry."
"But Xiao Yuan will kill her for sure!" Han Sheng Ming protested. "He never talked to her when they were apart, so why would he suddenly want to keep her there? Somethings smells fishy, don't you think?"
"She just spent some time with us yesterday. Let's give her some time with him," Tang Yujin calmly replied.
Meanwhile, Han Luo and Mo Yuan went to the living room. "Ah Luo, do you play video games?"
Of course she played video games – Han Sheng Ming always sent her video games as birthday presents. She played those video games with Butler Noah. But apart from Han Sheng Ming, others didn't know if she really played video games or not. Even though Han Luo told him that she played the games he sent, Tang Yujin never believed her; he thought she only said that to make her cousin happy. They all thought of her as a docile girl. How could a girl like her play thriller, adventure games?
Han Luo replied with enthusiasm, "I love games. Big brother Yuan, let's play."
Mo Yuan narrowed his eyes and thought about it. It was bought by his father last year as a Christmas present, but he never played with others before. He had a feeling that she liked sniper games. As they started playing, Han Luo deliberately lost three times to make Mo Yuan believe that she didn't know how to play this type of game. She still doubted that he heard her conversation with Butler Noah six years ago and didn't think that he was testing her.
From the fourth try, Han Luo started to win. Mo Yuan also gave her instructions later believing that she might not know how to play. But these games were nothing to Han Luo; she could win level one with her eyes closed.
While they were playing, Martha came to ask if the servants could go to sleep, so Mo Yuan dismissed everyone. Martha wanted to tell him to go to sleep too but she knew that he would get angry if she did, so she didn't dare offend him that night.
Mo Yuan noticed that Han Luo was more attentive and serious as she fought the bosses, acting as though she were actually inside the game. She seemed very sincere and to him, it was really cute. His lips curled up enigmatically as he leaned back on the couch. He was so busy being distracted by her expression that he was shot by a mafia boss.
"Ah! Big brother Yuan, you died!" Han Luo exclaimed. They were already at level five, and she didn't think that he would be killed so quickly in that easy level.
"My bad, let's play from the beginning." Mo Yuan didn't want to sleep anytime soon as he wanted to spend more time with her. Fortunately for him, Han Luo agreed.
The two of them played till midnight. After that, Han Luo's eyes started to ache, causing her to doze off. Mo Yuan realized the girl's tiredness and went to bring a glass of water, but when he came back, he found that she was already sound asleep on the couch.
Mo Yuan smiled helplessly and carried her in his arms. Though she had a petite body, her body was heavy. He was relieved that she had a healthy body. Since he practiced martial arts, he didn't have a hard time carrying her to the bedroom next to his. He gently put her down on the bed and covered her with the comforter.
He looked at her palatable face and whispered, "You came to spend time with your big brother yet fell asleep so early? How cruel, Ah Luo. How should I punish you for this?"
Her glowed in the dark room, under the moon's faint light. He stared at her for a long time and had an urge to pinch her face. Her face was as delicate as a peeled egg. After touching her face, he didn't want to let go. His eyes darkened suddenly remembering that Han Luo was close to Butler Noah, and the thought of that made him pinch her face harder.
"Uhh…" Han Luo moved and shifted her back to him. Mo Yuan was startled by her movement and instantly let her go. 'She just came today and I'm losing it.' He sighed and stood up.. He didn't want to move an inch from this room, but he forced himself to go to his own bedroom.
