Han Luilui was hurt to see how her brother was constantly by Han Luo\'s side. She was envious of her cousin. She wanted to be with her brother too.

Han Sheng Ming narrowed his eyes and declared, "I only took the side of the one who was suffering. Just because our mom doesn\'t teach you what\'s right and what\'s wrong, it doesn\'t mean that I will do the same."

Han Luo tugged his sleeve and said softly, "It\'s okay, big brother Ming. I\'m fine, really. Can you barbeque some seafood for me? I\'m starving."

Han Sheng Ming\'s heart melted after looking at her small face. "Okay, little Luo Luo, I will do it for you right away. You must be very hungry. Don\'t worry. Your big brother will give you most of the food."

The boys began to complain–

"Hey Ming, it\'s not fair! Just because Luo is your sister, it doesn\'t mean you can favor her."

"We are starving too!"

"We want your delicious barbeque as well."

"Aren\'t we your junior brother?"

"I don\'t need junior \'uncute\' brothers. I only need my cute little Luo Luo," Han Sheng Ming grinned at them.

The boys murmured–

"This guy is merciless."

"It\'s so unfair that people are into pretty faces."

"It\'s the pretty girlsl who get the advantages."

Boys eased the atmosphere and went back to their usual mood. They completely ignored the crying Han Luilui.

Han Sheng Ming collected the pictures of Han Luo and Jared and burned them in the fire. He hated pictures of a random guy with his cute little sister.

At the same time, girls were eyeing at the hands of Mo Yuan and Han Luo. It was the first time they saw him holding her hand.

Mo Yuan supported and spoiled her too much. If it was only Han Sheng Ming, it could be understandable. But, seeing the ice prince who never even took a glance at other girls but cherishing and spoiling a beautiful girl from their class, it made their heart sour.

Mo Yuan dragged Han Luo to an empty area. Several chairs were surrounding a round table. He pulled a chair for her. After she sat down, he sat beside her.

"Are you feeling all right?" he asked in concern.

Han Luo softly smiled and replied, "I\'m fine. You two defended me. It\'s more than enough."

She counted herself lucky because at least she didn\'t have to fight for herself alone. She had two people who cared about her enough to protect her from their own siblings.

Han Luo always felt grateful to Han Sheng Ming and Han Changhong. They protected her from their family members. It must have been hard for them to go against their family members.

Mo Yuan patted her back and tried to appease her, "Don\'t be upset over something like that. If you want, I can deal with her."

Han Luo shook her head. "It\'s me to blame. If I wasn\'t there in the first place, the situation wouldn\'t turn out like that."

She always blamed herself for breaking apart her uncle\'s family. She also knew that if she decided to stay with Ma Rui back then, her uncle\'s family would be saved. But now it was too late to regret it.

Mo Yuan frowned. "Why are you blaming yourself? You were a kid back then. You are still a kid now. We are bound to make mistakes. How could a two year old child\'s decision be flawless? Don\'t be too hard on yourself."

Han Luo smiled bitterly. "I have to be hard on myself. If I go with the flow, with everyone\'s love, I will definitely become a spoiled brat. I can\'t let that happen to myself."

Mo Yuan opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by Han Sheng Ming. He brought three plates and announced, "Lunch is ready. Let\'s dig in."

He placed the plates on the table and gave the largest plate to Han Luo. There was too much food piled on her plate. It looked like a mountain.

Han Luo scratched her cheek awkwardly. She lost half of her appetite seeing the pile of food. She pleaded, "Big brother Ming, although I\'m hungry, I don\'t think I can finish all these."

Han Sheng Ming spoke with a serious expression, "What are you talking about? You are skinnier than an ant. You need to eat more if you want to grow faster. Eat up."

Seeing that her cousin wouldn\'t help her, Han Luo glanced at Mo Yuan. He smiled and declared, "If you can\'t eat them, it\'s okay. I\'ll feed you."

Han Luo: "…"

\'They are trying to ruin my body and career. I\'m sure of it,\' she thought.

Beth placed her plate on the table and sat down beside her friend. She whispered in Han Luo\'s ear, "If you can\'t finish them, I\'ll help you."

Han Luo was full of gratitude. \'Now, this is what I call \'friend\'. A friend in need is a friend indeed. I\'m so lucky to have her.\'

Meanwhile, Beth was thinking, \'Hohoho, to think I\'ll be able to eat Ming\'s handmade barbeque, I\'m so blessed.\'

Han Sheng Ming finished eating first. He relaxed in his char and burped. While rubbing his stomach he said, "Man, I\'m full."

Han Luo wanted to say, "Here, big brother Ming, come and finish my food." But, before she could, a girl screamed.

"Aah! Luilui is sick. Please someone help her!"

Han Sheng Ming jumped out of the seat. Although he disliked his sister\'s bad habits, he still cared for her. He rushed toward her and Han Luo followed.

Han Luilui was rolling on the sandy ground. Her face and arms were full of red marks. She was groaning in pain.

Han Sheng Ming checked her skin and frowned. "These are rashes.. She is allergic to crab meat. Did she eat crab?"
