Chapter 118 - THE FANGIRLS


Han Luo continued, "Do you know why I want to win? Because I want to see the smiles of those who came here with me and the smiles of those who couldn't come yet still cheered for me each and every day. I owe them that much. Let me ask you: what do you owe to the people who are cheering for you and who are doing their best to work hard so that you can have a good life?
"I know you cannot give them your food to eat nor clothes to wear, but you can at least give them your success. If you can do that, all their hard work will have some worth. That's why you have to value their hard work and smiles before those who don't want you and your family to have a good life. Do you get it now?" Han Luo put her hands on her waist and glanced at the girl sitting in front of her.
The girl looked at her in awe before finally saying, "Y-you are right… I shouldn't listen to them. They are not worth it. But still… I fear something bad will happen!"
Han Luo disagreed. "Nothing bad will happen. You just wait – if they harm you again, just report it to the staff who are taking care of you. They will take care of the rest."
"I will do that. Thank you," the girl replied.
na "By the way, I forgot to ask your name. I'm Luo, and you?"
"I'm Zenna from Moscow. It's nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you too." Han Luo shook hands with her.
"I'm Jared." Jared also introduced himself.
"We should go to the cafeteria before lunchtime is over," Han Luo suggested.
"Okay," Zenna agreed. She washed her face before heading out with Han Luo.
The results of the second round had been published. Han Luo, Jared, Zenna and those four girls were all selected for the third round.
Han Luo couldn't meet Mo Yuan casually after she had to move into another building. The twenty dancers moved with the twenty sculptors, and the twenty musicians were moved with the twenty artists and singers.
Han Luo could only meet Mo Yuan when they were eating or taking a break. Except for that, they had no chance to meet.
Three days before the third round, all the participants were gathered in a room. Han Luo saw Mo Yuan and excitedly walked towards him.
Mo Yuan was in a bad mood because the girls in his building were checking him out; some brave ones even confessed to him. Two of the senior girls said that they liked younger boys. His experiences were harsher than Han Luo, as she was only asked out by three boys. The other boys were taking their time to ask her out.
Seeing Han Luo happily coming to his direction, Mo Yuan's frosty expression finally cracked.
Han Luo didn't miss his slightest change of expression. She joked, "Big brother Yuan, why do you look like you are about to murder someone?"
Mo Yuan pinched her delicate nose and replied, "It's because you are having a good time without me."
Han Luo hugged his left arm and coquettishly said, "How can that be? I can never have a good time without my big brother Yuan."
If there weren't people around them, Mo Yuan would touch her lips and then taste his finger to check if she had had some honey before coming here.
'No, you cannot do that. You said you wouldn't take advantage of her!' Mo Yuan's conscience scolded him.
He could only say, "You are acting too cute today. What happened?"
Han Luo shrugged. "Nothing happened. What can happen?"
Mo Yuan narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure?" For some reason, he didn't want to believe her.
"Yep!" Han Luo nodded.
The girls from Mo Yuan's building were looking at the two. One of them asked, "What's their relationship?"
"Who knows?"
"Yuan smiled! Oh my God! He looks so handsome when he smiles!"
"They seem pretty close."
"Didn't she just call him 'big brother'?"
"Then they are siblings."
"Come to think of it, when Yuan's mother came to meet him, that girl called her 'mom'."
"Then they are truly siblings. There is no doubt about that."
"We must talk to her and bring her to our side before some other girls catch her first!"
"Right!"
Neither Mo Yuan nor Han Luo noticed their odd behavior. However, he noticed that four girls were looking at them oddly. He glared at them while hugging Han Luo close to him and they hurriedly looked away. He looked like a protective mother hen.
"…" Jared quietly looked at Han Luo and Mo Yuan. Seeing Mo Yuan's protective side, he thought maybe something was going on between them. But after seeing Han Luo's usual carefree attitude and recalling Tang Yujin's protectiveness towards her, he brushed away his thoughts.
Afterwards, some of the competition staff entered the room. The head member of staff spoke first. "Good evening everyone. I hope you are enjoying the competition. You all seem pretty tired recently. I know you have been working hard to get to the top. We are sorry to call you all here. Today is a special occasion. Our sponsor and co-founder of this competition is present. Please welcome our special guest, Mrs. Mu."
Everyone clapped as a pregnant woman entered the room. Behind her was a strong built man.
Han Luo gasped. She tugged Mo Yuan's sleeve and whispered, "Big brother Yuan, isn't she the woman I bumped into the other day? She is the program's sponsor!"
"So it seems," Mo Yuan calmly said.
The head member of staff shook hands with Mu Lan. "Welcome Mrs. Mu. We are honored to have you with us."
"I'm glad I could come." Mu Lan smiled in a friendly manner.
Han Luo's expression changed.. "Big brother Yuan, I'm so dead… If her husband is here and finds out that I'm here, I'm sure he will disqualify me. What should I do? I will be taken off the list before I can even show my talent!"
