When Mo Yuan placed Han Luo on the bed, she opened her eyes. He gently asked, "Do you want to take a bath?" Han Luo shook her head and grabbed onto the pillow. When she laid down, he took off her shoes and then covered herself with the comforter. He moved her hair away from her face and gazed at her for a while. When he was leaving, he heard Han Luo mumbling, "Big brother Yuan, thank you for today. You are the best."
Mo Yuan closed the door silently and went back to his room. He couldn't help but smile brightly. All his tiredness was washed away, and a feeling of warmth embraced his body. He felt like a hero who conquered the world.
The next day, Han Luo woke up quite early. Her leg muscles were sore. She freshened up and went downstairs with shaky legs. She was surprised to see Ma Rui. "Mom!" The girl's face brightened when seeing her. She rushed forward and Ma Rui hugged her tightly. She looked up and asked, "When did you co here? Why didn't I hear anything?" She pouted her lips.
Ma Rui hugged her back and smiled ear to ear. "Actually, I ca back two days ago and was busy with sothing else. I didn't tell you before because I wanted to give you a surprise." She clearly didn't want to ruin the mood between her son and Han Luo. With great efforts, she had built this love nest for her son. Since they were getting along well, she wanted to give them as much ti as possible.
Han Luo suddenly thought of sothing and asked again, "Did big brother Yuan know?" She didn't like discrimination. If Mo Yuan knew and she didn't, she would've felt upset.
Ma Rui denied, "Nope, he saw last night and was surprised." She certainly knew Han Luo's thoughts and always treated her and her son as equals. She never wanted Han Luo to think that just because Mo Yuan was her son, she would treat him specially.
Han Luo suddenly rembered sothing. "Did you bring my Yin and Yan?" Yin and Yan were her pet rabbits. Ma Rui bought them when she was six.
Ma Rui answered, "Of course I did. Yan is pregnant so I didn't let her leave the room."
"Oh really? I want to see!" Han Luo was dying to et her baby pets.
Mo Yuan woke up late. He couldn't sleep well last night and fell asleep at dawn. All night, he was thinking about Han Luo's sugar-coated words: 'Big brother Yuan, thank you for today, you are the best'. He didn't dare close his eyes, thinking it would turn into a dream. He looked outside the window and felt that it was a wonderful day.
He got up, freshened up and went downstairs. He found that only his breakfast was on the dining table. Realizing that Han Luo woke up early, he quickly finished his breakfast and went to look for her. When he didn't find her anywhere in the house, he asked Benjamin, "Did you see her?"
Benjamin was wiping the dust from the furniture. Upon hearing Mo Yuan's question, he smirked and said, "Who? Your girlfriend? She went to the greenhouse with your mother." He put his hand around Mo Yuan's shoulder and smirked. "I heard her calling your mother 'mom'. Don't tell you guys are already at the next level!" By 'the next level' he ant if they were engaged.
Mo Yuan was in a good mood and smirked back. "What's the point of eating unripe fruit?"
Benjamin's smile widened. "But you need to guard the unripe fruit before it's stolen."
Mo Yuan nodded in realization and replied, "I'll take such good care to the fruit that it won't want to leave with others. And then it will ripen slowly while waiting for its master to eat it."
Experienced Benjamin gave him so lessons. "If you keep protecting the fruit, it might not ripen properly. Be sure to give it so care so that it can ripen properly. If you nurture it right, it'll be tastier."
"Why are you talking about fruits?" Chef Rose was walking past the living room and heard the peculiar conversation of the boys. She was a woman with a slim body, red hair and erald eyes. She had a mild temperant and was quiet in nature. As she was from the countryside, she didn't like the luxury of the city life.
Chef Rose innocently looked at Mo Yuan and questioned, "Young Master, do you wish to eat fruit? Should I make fruit salad for lunch? Which fruits do you want to mix?"
Benjamin answered for Mo Yuan, "The fruit that Young Master wants is the most delicious fruit in the world. But my taste is different. I love apples the most." His grass green eyes were gazing at her erald eyes. He certainly looked sincere.
Mo Yuan's eyes landed on Rose's hair. It was as red as an apple. He hid his smile and said, "Didn't you make raspberry jelly? If you have so, give it to Ah Luo. She likes raspberry jelly."
Rose already heard Mo Yuan calling Han Luo 'Ah Luo' multiple tis, so she didn't get confused. "Oh, so that's what you need. I don't have the raspberry jelly now, but I can make so later today. Does she like it sweet or sour?"
"Sweet. She doesn't like sour jelly," Mo Yuan recalled how sweetly she coaxed him last night. His heart was still lting. How could she taste sothing sour? What if her words beco sour too? Her sweet mouth needed sweet food.
"I understand. Rest assured Young Master, for I will make the jelly today." Saying that, Rose left without even looking at Benjamin.
The boys looked at her vanishing silhouette before Mo Yuan continued, "I will nurture my fruit as well as my attitude. I don't want my fruit to dislike like a certain soone."
Benjamin sighed and replied in a heartbroken tone, "Though I love apples, the apple doesn't appreciate . I'm sad and broken. I'll try my best to nurture myself and then go after my fruit."
"Take a good care of yourself.." Mo Yuan shrugged off Benjamin's arm from his shoulder before leaving.
