The next day, Mo Yuan escorted Han Luo to her class and they saw something unexpected.

The class was decorated with red balloons and the floor was covered with red rose petals.

On the front desk, where Han Luo usually sat, there were lots of love letters.

Han Luo began to sweat.

Just yesterday, she was getting mad at Mo Yuan because of those love letters and chocolates.

And today, it was her.

She never imagined that university life would be this intense.

Mo Yuan\'s expression was darker than the bottom of the pot. "Are these for you?"

"H-how can that trash be mine? I don\'t even sit in that seat. I sit in the corner, close to the window. See?" Han Luo trotted to the direction of the window and sat down on the chair.

The classroom was quiet. The girls were looking at Han Luo enviously and the guys were cursing Mo Yuan under their breath for escorting Han Luo into the classroom. If he didn\'t come, she would have read the letters and ate the chocolates.

\'Well, there is still time. Once Yuan leaves, Luo will be alone and I can confess to her\' – that\'s what the boys were thinking.

However, Mo Yuan quietly entered the room. He strode toward Han Luo and sat right beside her.

"Don\'t you have a class?" Han Luo asked. She was surprised by his action.

"I don\'t have a class. I was thinking of taking you to the class and going to the library. I will just sit here and do my work here," Mo Yuan spoke. He took out his laptop and started working.

\'So, he is going to guard me against those guys, honestly!\' Han Luo chuckled. It was the first time she had ever been in the same class as Mo Yuan. She felt excited.

After Mo Yuan sat beside Han Luo, the male students\' expressions changed.

For them, today was definitely unlucky.

During lunch, Tang Yujin suggested, "The students are arranging a fall cultural program. Why don\'t we all join? It\'s been so long since little Luo went to any festival. So, what do you think, little Luo?"

Han Luo easily agreed. She beamed in joy, "Oh, I love festivals! I\'ve done my homework. I can go to the festival and enjoy it to my heart\'s content."

"I should call Sean to come too. We have never spent time together during any festival," Beth said. She quickly sent Sean a message.

"It will be great if we all go together but… I\'m worried about big brother Ming." Han Luo sighed. "he didn\'t come to school for two days. I don\'t know what he is doing."

"Oh, he didn\'t tell you! That\'s odd." Tang Yujin tapped the table.

"Do you know where did he go?" Mo Yuan asked. He also had no idea what his friend was doing after being rejected.

"He went to Zheng Mian\'s school to prove to her that he was the best man for her," Tang Yujin disclosed.

"Huh?" Han Luo choked.

"What does that mean?" Beth asked Tang Yujin.

"It means he is trying to act like a man and woo her," he answered.

"Why is he making things so complicated? He can just say that he loves her." Han Luo shrugged.

Tang Yujin told her, "He is too shy to speak his mind. So, he used the roundabout way to handle it."

"What did he do?" Han Luo suddenly became curious. Her big brother was trying to woo a girl who was her friend for years, she was eager to know what was happening between them. She wished them a happy life from the bottom of her heart.

"Why don\'t we go to Zheng Mian\'s school and see for ourselves?" Tang Yujin suggested.

"Of course! I\'m in!" Han Luo jumped in excitement.

"Me too!" Beth\'s eyes were sparkling. She was sure that she was going to have a good story for her next article.

"Then, let\'s go after we are done with the classes," Mo Yuan announced.

After class, the four of them drove to Zheng Mian\'s school.

Zheng Mian was studying Arts History in an arts academy. She was planning to become an Art History lecturer after retiring from modeling career.

Tang Yujin parked his car in the parking lot and so did Mo Yuan. Beth had a bike and so she reached earlier than them.

Beth had a camera in her hand and was standing in front of the library. She was grinning from ear to ear. Her camera flashed once a while.

Han Luo, Tang Yujin, and Mo Yuan found her and stepped closer.

"What are you doing, Beth?" Han Luo asked from behind.

"Just look at your cousin. He is a real piece of work, I tell you," Beth was chuckling while speaking.

Han Luo beamed curiously and peeked. She was stunned by the scenario she just saw.

Han Sheng Ming was standing right in front of the Art building. He was wearing a red shirt, black pants, and black sunglasses. He was leaning against his red Ferrari.

There was a big bouquet of red roses in his right hand. In his left hand were a bunch of colorful balloons. In each balloon, different words were written. If someone was to make up a sentence it would be – Zheng Mian, go out with me.

"Pfft!" Han Luo covered her mouth and controlled her laughter. Her whole body was jerking from trying to hold back.

Tang Yujin sighed helplessly. "He has been doing this since yesterday. I can\'t believe how he isn\'t embarrassed by now. If he confessed to her at home in a room, no one would have found out. He is going to be a laughing stock."

Beth disagreed. "No, he won\'t. Look at the girls. They are envious of Zheng Mian right now. After all, he is dashing and rich. He is trying to court a lady publicly. Which woman wouldn\'t want it?"

Han Luo said, "That\'s true but… hey, look! Mian is coming out of the building.. It looks like her class has ended."
