Mo Yuan came back to the hotel only to find Han Luo dozed off on the sofa. He silently placed her luggage and bags on the corner of the room and carried her to his bed. When he was about to tug her under the comforter, she moved. Her twisted left leg brushed against the bed and she flinched.
Mo Yuan's eyes hardened. He gently stroked her hair and said, "Ah Luo, I will punish those bullies who dared to hurt you." His voice was gentle but his eyes were vicious.
The storm is coming.
--------------
Han Luo woke up when Mo Yuan's cell phone rang. She heard Mo Yuan answering the call. "Mom," he said.
"Ah, Xiao Yuan, where is Luo'er?" Ma Rui's voice was unexceptionally soft.
"She is sleeping." Mo Yuan answered in a low voice. He didn't want to wake up Han Luo.
Ma Rui said, "Oh, I'm around the shopping center near your hotel. When she wakes up, call me. I will pick her up." She wished her iceberg son would develop something for Han Luo while seeing her sleeping face.
Not knowing what 'evil intention' his mother was having, Mo Yuan agreed. "All right."
When he looked at Han Luo, he saw her blinking at him with a sleepy gaze. He sighed and caressed her cheek with the back of his left hand. "Did I wake you up?"
Han Luo shook her head without a word and enjoyed his touch. All of a sudden, she stretched her hands and called out softly, "Big brother Yuan."
Mo Yuan took her hands in his and asked quietly, "What is it?"
"Hug me," she murmured like a spoiled child.
Mo Yuan's heart instantly softened. His desire to pamper her couldn't be increased any further – that much he felt for her. Without a word, he leaned forward and hugged her soft body. She actively hugged him back and stayed quiet.
Mo Yuan didn't like to be on top of her. He was worried that he would suffocate her. So, he rolled his body with hers and kept her on top of him. His right hand was on her head and the other hand was on her waist.
Han Luo snuggled closer and kept his head on his chest without a word. Her body curled up in his embrace, showing him absolute dependence. He couldn't help but stroke her head and play with his hair.
Han Luo suddenly raised her head and looked at him. She asked, "Big brother Yuan, why didn't you go to practice today? You shouldn't lag behind others. The quarter final is in seven days."
Mo Yuan took a strand of her hair and kissed it. "I wanted to spend more time with you."
Last night, she told him that she would become his lover. After that, he couldn't think of staying away from her. He wished to keep her with him and spoil her rotten. Thus, he decided to practice only after she left. Before that, he wanted to stay with her as much as possible.
Han Luo could sense that he stayed by her side and didn't go to the practice room. So, she tried to sit up. However, Mo Yuan's grip tightened around her. He whispered, "Don't go. Stay here for a while."
Han Luo said, "If I do that, I will drain your energy and you cannot practice today."
"Drain my energy? Do you even know what that means?" Mo Yuan asked playfully. If she really wanted to drain his energy and simply hug wouldn't suffice. There were lots of things to be done to drain his energy.
Han Luo innocently answered, "Drain your energy means that you won't have energy left. How can you practice if you don't have the energy anymore?"
She tried to get up again but this time Mo Yuan pushed her down and buried his head on the crook of her neck. He breathed in her enticing odor. His lips touched the place near her left earlobe.
"Mm… big brother Yuan… don't." Han Luo twisted her body.
Mo Yuan mumbled in her ear, "Ah Luo, do you know what it means to drain energy?"
"Didn't I already tell you?" Her heart was racing, she could sense it.
"You are wrong. Since you don't know, why don't I teach you?" Asking that, he kissed her ear.
Han Luo immediately flinched and tried to move away from him. "Why do I have the feeling that it's not something I should know?"
Mo Yuan smiled. He didn't tease her anymore and got up. Han Luo was relieved as he moved away. She sat up when he pulled her up. He cupped her face and kissed her forehead. It wasn't enough of him but he didn't go any further.
His thumbs rubbed her cheeks affectionately and said, "Ah Luo, don't let other men aside from me enter your room."
Han Luo blinked. She couldn't understand where that came from out of blue. "Did something happen?"
Mo Yuan asked, "Didn't you let that Jared enter your room last night?"
"He was just worried about me." She always let her guard down around the people who were good to her.
Mo Yuan sighed helplessly. He felt like a déjà vu by repeating the same words. "You don't know that. You cannot read a man's mind. Isn't he also your rival?"
Han Luo said, "What man? We were dancing partners before and he already apologized for his mistakes. He isn't as bad as I thought."
"…" Mo Yuan's expression changed slightly. He wanted her to stay away from a guy who had a hidden intention. Only a man could understand another man's thoughts. Jared wanted to get close to Han Luo and it was too obvious.
He said, "You can talk to him as much as you want but you cannot be alone with him.. You don't know if he is just acting to be close to you and then when he will get a chance he will stab your back. Who knows if he has a hidden intention?"
