Chapter 177 - HAN SHENG MING'S CURSE
"Happy birthday to you… happy birthday to you… happy birthday dear Xiao Yuan… happy birthday to you…" everyone sang together happily.
"You people…" Mo Yuan frowned. He refused to go along with their plan. His face turned red in embarrassment.
It was on the 4th of November. The living room of Han Luo's house was decorated and everyone was wearing a birthday cap. They had prepared some gifts. Everyone dressed up beautifully. It was a small birthday party only exclusive to the family members and friends. Aside from the birthday boy, Ma Rui, Mo Zhen, Han Luo, Han Sheng Ming, Tang Yujin, Zheng Mian, Noah, Jack, Sophia, and two maids Poppy and Eva, everyone was present.
"Blow the candles! Blow the candles!" Han Luo and Han Sheng Ming sang together.
Mo Yuan looked at Han Luo for some time and then agreed to blow the candles. When he did, others clapped. Han Luo excitedly said, "Big brother Yuan, make a wish."
Mo Yuan listened to her and closed his eyes. No one knew what he wished for. After he opened his eyes, he cut the cake. He cut a big piece of cake and from that, he fed his mother, then his father, and afterward Han Luo. He ate the rest of that piece.
Han Sheng Ming was opening his mouth. When he saw that his desired piece was eaten by Mo Yuan, he protested, "How come you eat on your own? You were supposed to give that piece to me!"
Mo Yuan gave him a blank stare. There was no way he would let Han Sheng Ming eat something that Han Luo's lips touched. The indirect kiss only could be his.
Han Sheng Ming complained, "If you don't feed me a piece of cake, I'll curse you to become impotent for the rest of your life."
Maid Poppy and Eva covered their mouth to control their laughter. However, Han Luo didn't restrain herself. She burst into laughter. In the end, Tang Yujin also laughed along with her.
Mo Yuan glared at Han Sheng Ming before cutting another piece and feeding it to Han Sheng Ming and then Tang Yujin. Han Sheng Ming had a satisfied expression on his face. He smirked at Mo Yuan and said nothing else. He enjoyed making Mo Yuan mad when Ha Luo was around because Mo Yuan could never get angry when Han Luo was around. It made him an easy target for Han Sheng Ming.
After distributing the cake to everybody, chef Sophia, maid Poppy and Eva went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Noah went along with them in case they needed any assistance.
"What are you? A kid? Why do you need someone to feed you? It's not your birthday." Zheng Mian threw the comment at Han Sheng Ming.
Han Sheng Ming couldn't let her go after she insulted him. He snapped at her, "What's wrong with a friend feeding a friend? Are you perhaps jealous that you don't have a childhood friend like me?"
Mo Yuan heard their conversation and told his friend cruelly, "You are not my friend."
Han Sheng Ming complained, "How can you say that on your birthday?"
Zheng Mian smirked and said, "See? No one wants you. You are alone. At least I have Luo as my friend."
Han Sheng Ming glared at her.
Han Luo: "…" For some reason, she couldn't understand why these two couldn't get along since they first met each other.
--------------
It all started the day Han Sheng Ming came back which was yesterday. He went to his room, threw his bags on the floor, took off his clothes and out of the blue a naked girl came out of his bathroom.
"Aaahhh!" Han Sheng Ming screamed and covered his lower part.
Zheng Mian was also startled by seeing an unexpected visitor and quickly took her towel. Although she was nervous and embarrassed, she didn't show it in her expression. She elegantly covered herself with the soft towel and walked in front of Han Sheng Ming who was on the floor, completely naked and was desperately covering his lower part.
Zheng Mian asked calmly, "Who are you and why are you here without my permission?"
Han Sheng Ming stuttered, "I-I was going to ask you the same thing. Who are you and what are you doing in my room?"
He had never seen a naked girl in his entire life prior to that. He only saw some magazines full of naked women's pictures and watched some porn. Seeing a real-life naked girl right in front of him, he didn't know where to look. His face was beet red.
'Oh, it's his room. Then he is…' Zheng Mian actually found his behavior cute and refreshing. "Oh, so you are Luo's older brother who I've been hearing so much about." She walked forward, smirked and teased him, "Tell me older brother, why are you acting so innocent? Are you seeing a naked girl for the first time? It's not that you haven't seen those magazines before."
"Wh-what are you talking about? I don't watch porn!" Due to his nervousness, Han Sheng Ming blurted out something he shouldn't have.
Zheng Mian's lips curled up. "When did I say anything about porn? Should I tell Luo that her older brother watches porn?"
Han Sheng Ming realized his mistake but it was too late. "N-no! Please don't! Just get out of my room." He couldn't take her naked body wrapped in a towel anymore. He felt that his heart was about to explode.
Zheng Mian looked like she was thinking about something deeply. "What to do? I like your bathroom. It's better than the one in the guestroom. From now on, till the day I leave, I'm going to use your shower."
Han Sheng Ming firmly rejected, "What are you talking about? I don't want-"
"Then I'm going to tell Luo that her older brother-" Zheng Mian stepped toward the door.
Han Sheng Ming quickly grabbed her right ankle and said, "Wait! All right, you can use my shower.." From then on, he thought of her as his mortal enemy.
