BXBX NOVEL Chapter 108 - BETH WAS SCARED
"Turning into a panda overnight just because of a book…" Beth sighed. She walked to the library. She chose the best spot where she could keep an eye on her favorite couple.
She noticed nothing special going on. Mo Yuan seemed distracted today. He was looking around from time to time.
\'What\'s with my Yuan? Why is he so restless? Honey, can\'t you see there is a beauty in front of you waiting for your attention?\' Beth also wasn\'t in the mood because she didn\'t have Han Luo with her.
She went to the science fiction section and looked for a book. After choosing a book, she turned around to go back to her seat but gasped. She quickly covered her mouth and looked at the person in front of her with wide eyes. She was so scared that she felt as though her heart was trying to leave her ribcage.
Mo Yuan coldly looked down at her. "Where is she?" His voice was colder than the North Pole\'s glacial temperature.
Beth froze on the spot. She stuttered, "W-who i-is \'she\'?"
Mo Yuan frowned deeply and his gaze became even colder. He pressed his lips but didn\'t utter another single word. He was talking to a girl; thinking that made him annoyed.
Despite being attacked by a snowstorm, Beth\'s super intelligent brain started the engine. She said, "O-oh, Luo… you are talking about Luo. She went to the dance club. She said she hadn\'t had enough practice, so she went there to practice more." She could barely make a sound.
"…" Without saying a word, Mo Yuan left.
After he was out of sight, Beth collapsed onto the chilly floor. \'That was so scary!!\'

After break was over, Beth and Han Luo met each other in the next class. Beth grabbed her arm and questioned, "Luo, has Yuan ever glared at you?"
"No, he never did." Looking at her friend\'s pale face, Han Luo asked, "Did something happen?"
"You are asking me this? I thought I was going to die!" Beth told her what she experienced.
Han Luo\'s face turned slightly red. She was so ashamed that her friend had to face that. "I\'m so sorry that you had to go through this. I\'ll give him a good scolding later."
"No, no," Beth hurriedly stopped her, "you cannot do this. What if he kills me with his glare? He\'s so scary! I\'m not sure if my Nana will be happy with him. How did she even end up with him?"
Hearing her rambling, Han Luo shook her head helplessly. Sometimes, Beth didn\'t know if she was in the world of imagination or reality.
When the class ended, Beth asked, "What will you do during our nice one week break in half term?"
"I\'ll stay home and dance day and night." Han Luo didn\'t have a plan. She didn\'t want to go out. Han Sheng Ming already made plans with Tang Yujin and Mo Yuan, and she was pretty sure that she would be asked as well. Even still, Han Luo was planning how to reject the request, so she came up with the whole dance excuse.
"That\'s so boring! How about you come to my place?" Beth suddenly proposed.
It was so sudden that Han Luo was surprised. "Your place?"
Beth said excitedly, "Yeah! I\'m going back to Ireland to stay with my grandparents. My parents are busy at work so they can\'t accompany me. How about we go together? I can promise you that you will have a good time. Also, my grandmother was a dancer when she was young. We have lots of video tapes. You can learn a few steps."
"That\'s not a bad idea!" Han Luo actually liked the idea. "I will talk to my guardian and let you know."
She didn\'t mention that her guardian was Mo Yuan\'s mother who she called \'mom\'. If Beth were to find out, it would become viral. That would be quite the hassle since she didn\'t know how Mo Yuan thought of her.

Ma Rui covered her mouth. "Luo\'er, are you sure that you don\'t want to go to Spain with your big brothers? They will miss you!" She was talking to Han Luo through telephone.
Han Luo was at home. She just got home from school. "Yes, mom, I want to go to my friend\'s house in Ireland."
Ma Rui suddenly asked, "Are they a girl or a boy?"
"Of course she is a girl!! Han Luo exclaimed. She couldn\'t tell what went through Ma Rui\'s head.
"All right, tell her to email me her address and everything. I\'ll apply for your visa." Ma Rui agreed. Han Luo hardly asked anything from her, so she was happy that she wanted something from her.
"Thank you, mom! I\'ll tell Beth right away!" Han Luo beamed and hung up.
During dinner, Han Sheng Ming shouted, "What did you say? You are going to Ireland?!"
Han Luo nodded. "Yes, both Noah and mom approved for me to go there."
"But that\'s an unknown place with unknown people!" Han Sheng Ming didn\'t like this plan. He was hoping to take her to Spain.
Han Luo calmly replied, "I\'m not going alone. Noah will be there as my guardian. You can be rest assured."
"Oh, all right then." Han Sheng Ming finally settled down.
The next day, Mo Yuan frowned slightly upon hearing that Han Luo would go to Ireland with her friend. He didn\'t show it in his expression. He looked at Han Luo and asked, "Are you sure about this? We have already booked your ticket."
Han Luo scratched her head. "I\'m so sorry! I have another plan and I can\'t do it if I go to Spain with you." She acted as per usual in front of everyone. She didn\'t show her awkwardness around them.
"Little Luo, are you sure you aren\'t pressuring yourself?" Tang Yujin asked in concern. After he saw her practicing dancing day and night, he began to think that it was his fault.
"Not at all.. It\'s nothing to do with dancing! I\'ll go there and relax!" Han Luo leaned against the passenger seat of the limousine.
