My Beloved

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Someone knocked on the door. Mo Yuan was preparing to go to bed when he heard a series of gentle knocks on his door. He went ahead and opened the door.

"Big brother Yuan, surprise!" Han Luo popped out before him while holding a large box, wrapped with a red wrapping paper and tied with a green ribbon. 

Mo Yuan gently smiled. "What's this? Are you giving me a Christmas present?"

As he stepped aside a little, she trotted inside. He followed her inside while locking the door behind them. Han Luo turned around to face him and announced, "That's right, I'm giving you a present. It's Christmas tomorrow. You have to open it tonight when the clock strikes 12." She announced and put down the box on his tea table. She sat down on the sofa and complained, "Ah, it's so heavy. My arms are hurting." She started massaging her arms. 

"Does it? Let me check," Mo Yuan sat beside her, took her arms, and then massaged them. While doing so, he asked, "If it's so heavy, why did you bring it all by yourself?"

Han Luo replied while enjoying his massage, "I chose this gift especially for you and I wanted to give it to you personally. How can I let others carry it for me?" 

Since Mo Yuan and Han Luo had won first place in the respective segments, Ma Rui wanted to celebrate their success by arranging a party for them in the hotel they were staying in. action

She wanted to spend the new year in Paris. However, both Han Sheng Ming and Tang Yujin were busy with their academics. So she had to change the date and decided to hold a Celebratory dinner on Christmas Eve. 

Mo Yuan's father, Mo Zhen came to Paris last night. Han Sheng Ming and Tang Yujin decided to come tomorrow morning. 

Han Luo knew that she wouldn't be able to make a comeback and won an award if it wasn't for Mo Yuan. So, she used her savings, prepared a present for him and came to him, to deliver it personally on the night before Christmas. She wanted him to open the gift in front of her and also wanted to be the first person he would wish 'Merry Christmas'.

However, due to the excitement all day long, she started dozing off after some time. Seeing that she was trying hard to keep herself awake, Mo Yuan rubbed her head affectionately. "Ah Luo, it's all right if you want to sleep."

"No!" Han Luo refused at once. She rubbed her eyes and then slapped her cheeks to keep herself awake. "I want to have fun with you. Tomorrow big brother Ming and big brother Yujin are coming here. When they come, I can't spend time with you. I want to stay by your side as much as I can tonight."

Upon hearing her reply, Mo Yuan felt as though his heart was dipped in honey. His black orbs were rippling with a hidden emotion as he observed her for a long time and after that, he slowly approached her. He placed his right hand on her back and the left hand under her thighs. Afterward, he swiftly carried her to the bed.

Han Luo quickly stabilized herself by clinging onto him. When she realized his intention, she whined, "Ah, big brother Yuan, you cannot do that. If I go to bed, I'll surely fall asleep."

"Then you can sleep; I will wake you up when it's midnight. It's almost 11 o'clock. You can take a nap for an hour," Mo Yuan gently placed her on the bed and sat down beside her. He took off her winter boots and placed them on the floor. Later, he tugged her under the comforter.

As he was about to get up, Han Luo caught his arm. "Where are you going? Stay here. You have to stay with me till I get up."

Mo Yuan's unfathomable eyes darkened. 

Does she not know how she stirs his heart when she acts so spoiled? She doesn't think of his heart at all, does she?

However, no matter how unreasonable she was, he could never say 'no' to her. He gave in and said, "Fine, I will stay with you." 

"Yay!" Han Luo beamed. 

He took off his sweater and went under the comforter. He didn't completely lie down, though. He leaned back on the pillows on the headrest and tenderly stroked her head to make her fall asleep. 

Han Luo also took off her jacket and threw it to the couch. After that, she closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep. Suddenly she opened her eyes and warned, "Big brother Yuan, you have to wake me up or I'll be mad at you."

Mo Yuan smiled discreetly and played along with her. "I can't let you get mad at me. I will definitely wake you up at midnight."

After he assured her, Han Luo closed her eyes again. She hugged his thin, strong waist and placed her head on his chest. She adjusted her body comfortably and then relaxed.

Mo Yuan froze at her action. He didn't think she would do that. His heart was racing. He gently placed his hands around her back and took some deep breaths. After he calmed down, he embraced her closely and silently gazed at her sleeping face. 

Her breathing became regular and he realized that she had fallen asleep. Her white, supple face looked peaceful. She trusted him so much that she wasn't worried about whether he would do something to her. It made him feel happy and at the same time, it pricked his heart. This kind of attitude of hers meant that she doesn't think of him as a man at all. 

He helplessly sighed and caressed her back. Sometimes, he would play with her hair. This small girl in his arms occupied his entire heart.. When he couldn't take it anymore, he lowered his head and dropped a gentle kiss on her forehead.
