Seeing Han Luo ignored him, Mo Yuan was dumbfounded. 'She was fine an hour ago. What happened to her?' he wondered. He couldn't help but panic. 'Did I do something wrong? Why is she avoiding me?' he deeply pondered.
He stood up from his chair and under many watchful eyes, he strode toward Han Luo and sat beside her.
Ha Luo silently turned her laptop on and began to work on the assignment the professor gave them today.
When she didn't talk to him, he gently stroked her hair, moved a few locks away and tugged them behind her ear.
The female students who were watching them and holding their breaths their eyes nearly popped out of the sockets. It was a miracle of the century.
However, Han Luo didn't pay any attention to him.
Seeing that the ice prince was being ignored, the female students were cursing her to death for her impudence.
And yet, to their surprise, Mo Yuan didn't seem angry at all. He moved slightly close to her and looked at the question she was answering. She was struggling with the answer.
Thinking that she was having a hard time solving the question, Mo Yuan voluntarily helped her. Han Luo quietly let him do so.
Others were looking at this scenario with shock, anger, jealousy. The girls wanted to chew Han Luo's head.
Han Luo turned into the girls' greatest enemy on her first day at the university.
'Honestly, what's wrong with these people? How can something be theirs when it doesn't belong to them in the first place.' Beth sighed deeply. She opened her book and began to read.
After Mo Yuan was done with pointing out the main parts of the problem and helped her to solve it, Han Luo began to write without looking at him.
Mo Yuan smiled and tousled her hair. When Han Luo gave him a disapproving look, he brushed her silky, smooth hair using his fingers. After that, he began to do his own assignment on the laptop.
For the first time in their lives, the female student saw Mo Yuan smiling, and more importantly, he smiled at a girl who he brought to the university. With his smile, they imagined a flash of light.
'Ah! I'm getting blind!'
'It's too bright!'
'My eyes are getting pregnant!'
'So hot! I feel so hot!'
'I want to be helped by him too.'
'God! What crime did I commit in my last life not to be able to get a man like THIS!'
'My life is a failure without this BRIGHT ice prince!'
After they got out of the library, Mo Yuan caught her hand and asked her, "Ah Luo, what's wrong? Why are you avoiding me?"
Han Luo snatched her arm away from him and looked around before saying, "I'm not avoiding you. I'm avoiding trouble."
Mo Yuan directly asked her, "Do I look like trouble?"
Han Luo shook her head. "No, you are not the trouble. The trouble is those who are your secret admirers."
Mo Yuan frowned. He questioned her, "Did something happen?"
"Thanks to the school forum and the nosy people, I became popular before I stepped on the building. Five girls from the Rocking Hell band cornered me and interrogated about your relationship with me. Hmph! What nerve! How dare they block my path and be rude to me?" Han Luo's face was turning red due to anger.
"So, that's what happened. I will escort you to the class from now on." He heard rumors about Rocking Hell from Tang Yujin. He couldn't just leave her when she could be attacked any time by those violent girls.
Han Luo added, "One more thing."
Mo Yuan inquired, "What is it?"
"I heard that you get love letters, chocolates, and gifts almost every day. Is that true?" Han Luo narrowed her eyes. Her expression was overshadowed with black clouds.
Mo Yuan's throat was dry. His heart shook for some reason. "…That's… I always throw them away, honestly. I don't even take a glance at them," he justified for himself.
Han Luo stated with a clear voice, "I'm not angry because you got them. It's inevitable. You cannot stop others from doing what they want. I'm mad at you because you hid it from me."
Mo Yuan hurriedly said, "I didn't want to worry you." The last thing he wanted was to offend her.
Han Luo crossed her arms in front of her chest and directly asked him, "Then, should I hide everything from you in order to not worry you?"
"No," Mo Yuan firmly replied. "I was wrong. I'm sorry. It won't happen again."
Han Luo cleared his misunderstanding. "I don't want you to apologize to me, big brother Yuan. I want you to share your story with me just like you want me to do. However, it doesn't mean that you have to force yourself to tell me something you don't want to."
"Listen," Mo Yuan interrupted her and stepped closer. He hugged her close to his chest and explained in a gentle voice, "It's not like that. I wanted to lower your burden by sharing your pain. These letters or whatever means nothing to me and that's why I didn't think that I had to share it.
"You know, when I wake up or have my meal, these are random things that aren't important enough to talk about. Since you think that they are important and I also firmly believe that I must know if a guy gives you a letter or not, I will tell you about it. However, you can see for yourself and check my locker now and then. I'll give you the extra key later. What do you think?"
"Sounds great!" Han Luo happily agreed. The shadow over her face had finally lifted.
