My Beloved

Right across the room, there were two large windows with a glass door that was attached to the balcony. From there, she could see the trees which were surrounding the house and, of course, the road. She could see anyone coming or leaving her house. There were pink curtains to cover the windows at night. Because of the windows, her room was brightened up all day and she didn't need any electric light to illuminate the room.

"Uncle! This room is so gorgeous! I've never even seen such a wonderful house in the fairy tale books. I think this is the best room in the whole house." Han Luo's eyes sparkled with joy. She couldn't express her happiness with words. All her tiredness washed away after seeing such a lovely room. She never imagined such a house or room ever to be hers.

Han Changhong was relieved. "I am happy that you like it. From now on, this house is all yours. No one can ever insult you or take the house away from you; not even your auntie or your cousins. But is it okay to let your brother Han Sheng Ming live with you?" He couldn't hide his anxiety while asking.

Han Luo had no reason to disagree. "Of course, it's okay! I would love to have my big brother Ming with me. It has been so long since the last time I saw him. How could I not live with my big brother Ming?" She spoke as though she were saying the obvious.

Han Changhong had no more worries. "I am glad, I am glad. As long as you two stay together, I know no harm will come your way. And yes – of course – your good Butler Noah is here as well. He will help you all the way." He then cleared his throat before suggesting, "Why don't you freshen up and take some rest? I'll tell Sophia to cook something for you. After you finish your dinner, you can look around the house. Your brother is coming home tonight. Make sure to give him a huge surprise."

"Oh yes! Don't worry about it, uncle. I'll take care of that. Big brother will be so surprised that he cannot speak for five minutes. I promise!" Han Luo sang energetically. 

Just as Han Luo had said, Han Sheng Ming was so surprised that he couldn't say a single word for five minutes.

Han Sheng Ming was told that his father bought a house and he had to move from his friend Tang Yujin's house. He had only a few things with him: his clothes, his books, and his basketball. Tang Yujin also tagged along with him. He was curious about the house that Han Changhong bought. And to his surprise, he came across someone he was longing to meet for six years.

"L-little Luo Luo, is that you?" Han Sheng Ming stuttered. His basketball fell from his hand and rolled on the floor. It stopped at Han Luo's feet as if the basketball wanted to meet its master's cute little sister. He couldn't believe his eyes. He sensed that the people around him were laughing at him. 

"Big brother Ming, surprise!" Han Luo couldn't stop giggling. She was wearing a white dress and her hair was untied because it was slightly wet. She looked like an angel descended straight from heaven. She was so happy that she couldn't wait for him and jumped over him to hug. She truly missed her big brother Ming.

Han Changhong was truly happy to see the brother and sister's reunion. He knew his son missed his cute little sister. Now he had nothing to worry about. He could leave these two on Noah and Ma Rui's care.

Han Sheng Ming came back to his senses and hugged Han Luo's body tightly. His hands, which were wrapped around her body, were shaking. He felt so emotional that he wanted to cry, but he didn't want to show his weakness. Instead, he buried his head on the crook of her neck.

"Big brother Ming, I missed you…" Han Luo also felt emotional and tears welled up in her eyes. 

"I missed you too… I missed you more than you can imagine." Han Sheng Ming heard her voice so close to his ear that he could properly feel her warmth and could smell her sweet odor. He couldn't control his tears anymore. 

Han Luo was three inches shorter than Han Sheng Ming. Since he was leaning toward her, she could see who was behind him. She did not notice him before because she was too excited to see her big brother Ming.

Seeing Tang Yujin's dumbfounded expression she cried out softly, "Big brother Yujin!" 

Tang Yujin's frozen body finally moved. He stepped forward and reached out to touch her head. When he felt her in his palm, he realized that he wasn't daydreaming. He gave the most beautiful smile in a calm manner as his eyes moistened. "Little Luo..." His voice was soft. Since his friend was hugging her so tightly, he had no chance to have her for himself. 

"Big brother Yujin, I missed you too..." She held out her hand in his direction and let him touch her hand.

Tang Yujin took her hand gently and lifted it up to his face. His lips brushed over her small fingers making her heart race. His eyes carefully followed her reaction and he said, "Little Luo, you grew up well." 

"Am I pretty?" Han Luo cutely asked. There was no fakeness in her actions because she wasn't pretending. Whatever she was doing, she was doing from the bottom of her heart.

"Very pretty." Tang Yujin couldn't take his eyes off her. He was talking to her once a week or once in two weeks. Seeing her face to face, he discovered how beautiful she had become.

The touching reunion was finally over.. Han Sheng Ming couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you tell me beforehand? I could have prepared some souvenirs for you."
