Good luck everyone!!! WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER!!! *w* ]

Mo Yuan noticed that Han Luo was getting good at kissing. She was always a fast learner. She even opened her mouth and slid her tongue inside as if asking for more.

His eyes gazed at her as he intensely devoured her tongue. They wildly panted while their tongues intertwined.

Han Luo was eagerly kissing him back. Thinking what could Nana Shimizu feel seeing them like this thrilled her.

They were going to the good part when a cell phone suddenly rang.

Han Luo and Mo Yuan both were startled and moved away.

Han Luo checked that it was her cell phone that was ringing and the person who called her was none other than Jared.

She took some deep breaths to calm herself and then answered the call. "Jared, what\'s up?"

Jared scratched the back of his neck and hesitantly said, "I have something I want to tell you. Can we meet up?"

"…Sure," Han Luo agreed when she heard the urgency in Jared\'s voice. She gave him the name of the place and then hung up.

After that, she tried to remember what Jared was doing when they were having lunch but she couldn\'t remember.

"Why do you want to meet him when you are with me?" Mo Yuan asked grumpily.

Han Luo\'s trace of thoughts broken after hearing his voice. \'Oh, he is sulking,\' she thought. She pecked on his cheek and told him, "If you are worried, you can come too. I don\'t mind."

The last thing she wanted was Mo Yuan to misunderstand her.

"I would have come even if you didn\'t ask me," Mo Yuan declared.

"Yes, yes…"

Han Luo once again took a glance at where Nana Shimizu was. The balcony was empty. She was nowhere to be found.

\'I think I gave her enough medicine,\' Han Luo thought.

[A/N: Both of them knew how to use each other to remove the love rivals from their paths. This is what we call " a match made in heaven". ;p ]

Han Luo and Mo Yuan went to the swimming pool. They saw Jared standing there alone. He looked nervous.

Seeing Mo Yuan, he halted and glanced at Han Luo.

Mo Yuan didn\'t get close. He sat on a bench and waited for them to finish their conversation.

Han Luo moved closer to Jared. "What is it you want to say?" she asked.

Jared hesitated before saying, "I got close to you because I have an ulterior motive."

"You…. had an ulterior motive…" Han Luo didn\'t seem pleased with what she was hearing. She asked, "What was the reason behind you to get close to me?"

"Actually I… don\'t have romantic feelings for you. Don\'t be upset. I didn\'t mean to use you. You are a good friend and a wise person to hang out with. But I…. I like Yuan."

"Eh?" Han Luo blinked.

Jared continued, "And that\'s why I got close to you thinking our friendship will help me to get close to him. After all, he isn\'t an easy person to get close to. However, he is too possessive over you and started to think of me as his enemy. I was deeply saddened by it. Even you look possessive of him." 

"…" Han Luo\'s brain stopped working. She never thought that Jared had feelings for Mo Yuan despite everyone\'s warning because he never gave her that kind of vibe. However, to think he was actually into Mo Yuan, she couldn\'t have expected that even in her wildest dream.

Jared kept going, "When I started seeing you two being too intimate, I began to suspect that something was going on between you two. Even now he is watching over you and won\'t let us be alone. I was wondering if you two were together but you denied it publicly that you weren\'t going out. So, I was thinking maybe I had a chance. Therefore, I-"

"You don\'t have a chance, Jared," Han Luo interrupted him. "He is mine. I won\'t give him to anyone else."

Jared almost choked. "… What do you mean? You guys are not going out, are you?"

"Even if we don\'t go out, I can\'t let you have him," she declared. As I told you, he is mine."

Jared\'s face turned pale. "B-but why?"

Han Luo said, "Jared, you are my good friend. That\'s why I will allow you to confess your feelings to him. After you do that and you get rejected, please move on. This is the best advice I can give you as your friend."

She stepped back a little and smiled. "This is your chance Jared. Today I\'m giving you my permission. I may not give you this chance the next time."

Jared gathered some courage and clenched his fist. His expression was full of determination. "Okay, I will take this chance."

Behind him, Han Luo narrowed her eyes. The only reason she let him confess to Mo Yuan was because Jared was a boy. If it was Beth or Zheng Mian, she would have squeezed their necks for trying to fantasize about Mo Yuan.

She was shocked by the discovery of her own obsession with Mo Yuan.

Ten minutes later–

"Big brother yuan, you are so lucky to be confessed to. Just look how brave Jared was to confess to you. Even I wasn\'t lucky enough to be confessed by anyone," Han Luo sang merrily.

Mo Yuan couldn\'t utter a word. After he was confessed by Jared, he was completely dumbstruck. It was the first time his brain had stopped working.

In Han Luo\'s eyes, his expression was extremely hilarious. She couldn\'t help but tease him after Jared left.

She went on saying, "My poor friend was heartbroken because of you.. Big brother Yuan, you have to compensate him. Shouldn\'t you go to his house and give him a gift? What about having a date in exchange- umph!"
