My Beloved

Han Luo sat on a chair and gave the ivory comb to Noah. Noah took it and asked, "What did you do to make him do that to you?"

"I did nothing wrong. I just told big brother Yujin that he is the best and then big brother Yuan came to find me and asked me how he could become the best. I told him that he had to love me lots, he couldn't punish me or force me to do anything… and then suddenly he kissed my cheek and said that he would love me from now on…" The girl suddenly paused. "Noah, why aren't you brushing my hair?" Han Luo leaned back on the chair and raised her chin to look at Noah.

Butler Noah froze and looked down at the twelve year old girl. 'Did she not realize that he confessed to her? When did she become so dumb?'

"Noah? Noah?" Seeing that he didn't respond, Han Luo raised her voice, "Noah, what the hell happened to you?!"

Noah blinked. He suddenly had an urge to know what happened next. He carefully asked, "Punk, what did you reply to him after he said that he would love you?" He didn't want to raise her suspicions and resumed brushing her hair.

Han Luo truthfully replied, "I certainly asked him if he lost his mind, but that was after he kissed my cheek. Noah, don't you think he is acting weird?"

'Man, I feel sorry for him,' Noah thought. 'I guess she is still innocent no matter how naughty she is. It's a good thing. Most children lose their innocent mind after becoming a teenager.' He coughed before answering, "…It's puberty."

Han Luo seemed to understand his answer and nodded like a grown up. "Oh, big brother Yuan isn't mature enough, that's why he is acting this way."

Noah raised an eyebrow. "Mature? Why are you talking as if you are very mature?"

Han Luo firmly declared, "I AM mature! Girls become mature early on. Boys are late bloomers."

Noah's lips twitched. "A punk is still a punk."

Han Luo strongly disagreed, "No! I'm not a kid anymore. I'm an adult."

Noah shrugged. "What's so good about being an adult? Being a child is a blessing."

Han Luo shook her head. "I don't think so. Adults can do whatever they want, they can buy whatever they want, they can be independent; children cannot do anything!"

Noah gently brushed her hair and divided it into two parts. "As long as you are a child, you have no responsibilities or duties. Freedom comes with responsibility. When you become a full-fledged adult, you will understand the pain of it."

"I won't. Being an adult has its own charm." Han Luo knew adults could have more fun and they could drink liquids which kids couldn't. They could do everything that kids couldn't do. So, what's so fun being a child – she couldn't understand that.

"It's so good to be young. If you only could understand…" Noah sighed. When he was her age, he also thought that he was mature and could understand more than his parents. He thought being an adult was the best thing in the world. It was only after being an adult he realized that life isn't something you can hope for.

"What's with your sigh?" Han Luo asked.

Noah stroked her head. "I just realized that you are still a kid."

Han Luo raised her voice in protest, "I AM NOT a kid!"

"Yeah, yeah…" Noah braided her hair while saying, "Your hair is growing fast. It's passed your waist. Why don't you cut your it?"

Han Luo didn't agree. "No, I want my hair to pass my knees."

"You can't take care of your hair. It'll be troublesome." He knew that he wouldn't be there by her side forever. He wanted her to take care of her own hair, but this lazy punk never listened to him.

Han Luo wasn't worried a bit. "How so? Aren't you with me? You will take care of my hair, right?"

Noah replied, "I can't take care of your hair when you are at someone else's house. Say, who tied your hair so clumsily this morning at the Mo Mansion?"

"Big brother Yuan. He said that he wanted to practice brushing my hair from now on." Han Luo giggled remembering Mo Yuan's troubled face as he brushed her hair with his unaccustomed hands.

"Did he now?" Noah snickered. He tried to imagine Mo Yuan attempting to brush her hair. In the morning, when he saw Han Luo's hairstyle, he knew that someone with zero experience tied her hair. Fortunately, they didn't walk home and drove here. Only God knew what people would think of her hairstyle if she walked outside.

He observed the end of her hair and carefully stated, "Tomorrow, let me trim your hair."

Han Luo stood up in denial. "You can't. I'm going out with big brother Yuan."

'First confess and now a date? This boy sure is smooth. But as long as this punk doesn't understand his motives, all his hard work will go to waste,' Noah pondered. He couldn't control his curiosity and questioned, "What do you think of him?"

Han Luo blinked. She couldn't understand his question. "What do I have to think of him? He is my big brother Yuan, nothing more."

Noah continued his interrogation. "How about feeling something romantic?"

Han Luo frowned. "What are you talking about? He is my big brother so I cannot feel something like that. Just thinking about anything more makes me nauseous."

'I really, really feel bad for the boy.' Noah sighed and continued, "All right, get out. I'm tired. I need to sleep."

"Okay, okay, I'm going. Good night! Have a nightmare!" Han Luo quickly slipped from his room.

"Such an ungrateful punk!" Noah mumbled. She didn't even thank him. In return of his kind gesture, she cursed him with a nightmare. She was completely getting out of hand. 'What will the boy do after finding out about her true nature?' he wondered. He was worried about that, which is why he didn't give her a heads up about Mo Yuan's feelings.. "I suppose I will just wait and see what happens between them."
