Chapter 179 - WITNESSING A KISS

"Not even big brother Yuan, it could be big brother Yujin," Han Luo expressed her thought. Although she still hoped that it was one of her friends or family members, fear spread inside her heart. She looked slightly pale under the lights of the chandelier.

Ma Rui and Mo Zhen exchanged glances and then Ma Rui told her, "Why don't you ask him? If the person was really hired by him or your cousin, we can be relieved. However, if it's not them then…"

Mo Zhen interfered and assured the ladies, "Don't ponder too deeply about it. Just think about the popularity Luo'er gained in Paris. If I hear that there were more than a hundred stalkers followed her in Paris for the last two years, I won't be surprised." He tried to lighten up the mood.

Ma Rui understood his intention. She quickly added, "My Luo'er is so pretty. There is a possibility that there can be some crazy fans of yours. Luo'er, are you planning on modeling again?"

Han Luo was completely distracted by these two. She relaxed her body and replied, "I want to spend more time with you all. I can do modeling once a month though."

Ma Rui instantly gave her a proposal, "Why don't you become my model? I do work on teens. I will make you my exclusive model who will work once a month. What do you think?"

Han Luo was dumbfounded by the unexpected proposal. She then recalled that Ma Rui was a professional photographer.

Spotting that she was doing her utmost to find a word, Mo Zhen recommended, "If you want to work under other companies, you will have to have your own assistant and makeup artists. No one knows if other models want to harm you out of jealousy. They cannot protect you all the time either. If you work under your mom, you won't suffer grievances and you can work without caring about the world."

Upon hearing that Han Luo smiled. "I never had any personal assistant or makeup artist. I only had my personal makeup boxes. And you are worrying too much. I can take down some jealous girls on my own."

"That's my girl!" Mo Zhen praised her and patted her head.

Han Luo looked at Ma Rui and said, "Mom, give me some time to think. I have to prepare for GCSE this year."

Ma Rui covered her mouth. "Oh, yes, I completely forgot about it. Last year, Xiao Yuan, Xiao Ming, and Xiao Yujin took this exam. This year, it's your turn."

The General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) is a set of exams taken in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and other British territories. They are usually taken by students aged 15–16, after two years of study ( in other words, it's O Level with a different style). The students must complete Year 11 to participate in this exam. Some pupils can take their exams early if their teachers think the students are capable.

Although Han Luo is fourteen years old, she is studying in Year 11. She is an exceptional case because only fifteen year old students can study in Year 11 in England and other British territories.

Last year, Han Sheng Ming, Tang Yujin, and Mo Yuan took this exam. This year, it was her turn.

While Han Luo was talking to Ma Rui and Mo Zhen, Han Sheng Ming called her out from the stairs. "Little Luo Luo, come to my room. We are going to play the King."

"I'm coming," Han Luo bade Ma Rui and Mo Zhen good night and she climbed the second floor. Han Sheng Ming, Tang Yujin, Mo Yuan, Jack, and Zheng Mian were waiting for her with snacks.

She went under the comforter just like everyone else and grabbed some potato chips. She sat in between Tang Yujin and Jack. On her right were Jack, Mo Yuan, and Han Sheng Ming. On her left were Tang Yujin and Zheng Mian; that meant Han Sheng Ming was sitting beside his mortal enemy.

Jack took the sticks in his hand and announced, "You guys can take whichever you want and no marking, no cheating. You cannot check your colors right now."

After everyone took the sticks, Jack took the last one for himself.

Meanwhile, Han Sheng Ming and Zheng Mian both put their hands on the bucket of chicken balls and they grabbed onto the same chicken ball. Han Sheng Ming glared at her and said, "I grabbed it first."

Zheng Mian protested, "That's not true. We both touched it at the same time."

Han Sheng Ming snapped at her, "Then why are you not letting it go?"

Unlike him, Zheng Mian was calm. She coolly pointed it out, "You are not doing it either."

Han Sheng Ming gritted his teeth and blamed her, "How can you be so shameless? It's just one chicken ball."

Zheng Mian shrugged. "I want to ask you the same. Acting like an immature brat, do you still call yourself a man?"

"What did you say?" Han Sheng Ming's pride was hurt. If glare could kill, Zheng Mian would be slaughtered by now. He reluctantly let go of the chicken ball.

Zheng Mian smirked and took the chicken ball. After that, she moved it right in front of Han Sheng Ming's face and then put it in her mouth. She munched it as she kept staring at him.

Han Luo, Tang Yujin, Mo Yuan, and Jack were looking at them without a word. They couldn't understand why these two had to act childishly.

Jack coughed dryly and said, "Let's check who the King is."

Everyone looked at their sticks and Han Sheng Ming declared, "I'm the King. Now I'm going to order the pair of yellow sticks to kiss each other."

Han Luo's end of the stick was dyed with green color and so was Jack's. Tang Yujin's stick was colored in red. Han Sheng Ming was the King. Only Mo Yuan and Zheng Mian's stick colors were yellow.

Mo Yuan looked at his stick silently. Zheng Mian was flabbergasted.

Now the two of them have to kiss.
