Chương 49: MO YUAN'S REASONS

"No one hates you," Mo Yuan firmly denied. He felt his heart splinter after seeing her crying so bitterly and pitifully. "You are amazing. How can anyone ever hate you? The only bad people are the ones who have bad hidden goals, say rude things to you, or bully you."

Han Luo shook her head. "Big brother Yuan, that's not true. You hate me too, right? You never called me Xiao Luo, like my cousins, or Luo'er, like mom and uncle, or little Luo, like big brother Yujin and big brother Ming. You don't play with me or smile at me. When mom tells you to do something with me, you look angry. You're only here because somebody made you, right?"

Mo Yuan was stunned. He didn't think that she would be so observant of his behavior. Indeed, he treated her coldly and still hadn't called her or treated her as a big brother should. He always distanced her from himself. He didn't like girls – that's for sure. But it didn't mean that he disliked her. She was better than those spoiled brats and he knew it. He just didn't want to coddle her like the rest of them; he just thought someone had to be strict to keep her at bay.

He heavily exhaled. "It's not that. It's not because I hate you. I thought if I acted like a scary big brother, you wouldn't behave." Now he knows why she always avoided him – it was because she thought he hated her. 'She must've been sad thinking I hated her.' He felt mortified.

Han Luo couldn't understand. "But Ah Luo always behaved, right?"

"Yes, you always did and that's why I like you." Mo Yuan only could rub her head to show some care.

"You like me, but you're still mean. Big brother Yuan, you liar!" Han Luo's tears had dried out, but she was still upset.

Mo Yuan gently retorted, "You'll understand when you grow up-"

"Little Luo Luo! Where are you?" Han Sheng Ming's voice could be heard from the distance.

Mo Yuan took her hand. "Should we go? We have to punish the bullies, don't we?"

"Okay…" Han Luo slowly stood up. They came to the open space where they met Han Sheng Ming and Tang Yujin. They froze seeing her swollen face and ran towards her.

"What happened? Who did this?" Han Sheng Ming asked without taking a breath.

"First, let's take her to the nurse's room. The nurse is still there!" Tang Yujin exclaimed. His countenance was loose and had anxiety painted all over it. He and Mo Yuan exchanged glances.

"Sheng Ming, you take her. I and Yujin will come later," Mo Yuan replied.

"All right," Han Sheng Ming agreed. He carried Han Luo on his back and took her to the infirmary. The nurse was a friendly woman. She gasped at the sight of Han Luo's face. "Oh, my goodness, how did this happen? Did you trip and fall or-"

Han Sheng Ming interrupted, "You mean 'who did this to her'?" The nurse was in disbelief – it was clear that someone had hit Han Luo, but she couldn't believe that a student would do that to another student, let alone a young girl. The boy was as perplexed as to the nurse on who did this to poor Han Luo.

She gently treated the little girl's injury, with Han Sheng Ming sitting next to his cousin. After that, the nurse gave her a bar of chocolate because she was brave during her treatment.

While Han Luo was resting on the bed, Han Luo's class teacher and the Director of Student Affairs came inside, alongside Mo Yuan and Tang Yujin. The elders asked the nurse about Han Luo's condition. The nurse spoke the truth and added, "I never thought our students would bully a little girl like that. She is cute too."

[Lesson: As long as you are cute, things will be favorable for you. What a cruel world! TT.TT]

Tang Yujin sat on the bed and took Han Luo's hands. "Little Luo, can you tell us what happened?"

"…Okay…" Han Luo told them how the students were looking at her and avoided her afterward. Later, Han Luilui and her friends cornered her and bullied her.

Han Sheng Ming clenched his fists and grit his teeth in fury. "So, it's Luilui again. She isn't satisfied only bullying you at home but now she has to gang up like gangsters. I'm going to tell daddy about this. He needs to know." His body trembled as he suppressed his anger.

"Calm down, Han Sheng Ming," The Director of Student Affairs said. "We still need evidence before we can proceed further. Mo Yuan and Tang Yujin will help us. You two can go home. She needs to rest up. Could you take care of your cousin?"

Han Sheng Ming corrected him saying, "She isn't my cousin. She is my cute little sister. I will protect little Luo Luo." His face shone with pride when he said that.

The Director nodded while hiding his smile. "Great. You can go now. Your car has arrived, Han Sheng Ming."

"I think Han Luo should stay at my place for today. If they go back to the Han Mansion, things might turn out bad for her. After all, the bully lives there too," Mo Yuan suggested.

Tang Yujin liked his idea. "I think so too. If she wants, she can stay at my home. Everybody in my house adores her."

"I want to stay with mom," Han Luo mumbled. Whenever she went to the Mo Mansion, Ma Rui would stay with her and tell her stories until she fell asleep. Ma Rui reminded her of her mother.

"Then it's settled," the teacher declared.

When Han Sheng Ming took her to the Mo Mansion, Ma Rui almost fainted seeing her precious Han Luo's face. After seeing her worried expression, Han Luo thought what would happen if her mother would see her like that. Thinking about her mother made her cry. She wept in Ma Rui's arms for a long time before falling asleep out of tiredness.

She got a fever during the night. Since it was a psychological issue, the doctor couldn't do anything. He didn't let her take any medicine and only instructed Ma Rui to wipe Han Luo's body and cover her forehead with a wet cloth. In a daze, Han Luo called out for her mommy and daddy again and again. In her dreams, she saw her parents – they played with her just like how they did in the past. Her mother held her very dearly. She always told her little daughter that she loved her so much and she could never, ever hate her no matter what.

[A/N: I don't know how many of you think that these children are mature, but from my experience, when I was 6, I got admitted to a disciplined school and we had class monitors who were the as same age as mine. But they were too matured for their ages. it's probably because of their family environment. They controlled monkeys like us and had to make big decisions about programs and everything since we are 6.

And please remember, maturity comes with how people around you treat you, not because of your age. I'm 50% sure about that since that's how things worked for me.

And also, I'm one of the people who got bullied in my school so I have experience :D

So trust me, they are not overly matured. XD ]
