My Beloved

Noah sipped on his beer. It tasted bitter in his mouth. He didn\'t talk for a while and kept thinking of some things. 

When Han Luo was getting impatient, he finally opened his mouth. "You are learning from your mistakes. Keep this up. You will grow up in no time. But, let me teach you one thing. A wise man learns from his experience and an intelligent man learns from other\'s mistakes. I\'d rather want you to be an intelligent girl than a wise girl."

"I understand," Han Luo took her small diary and pencil and wrote down what he said.

Noah smirked at her seriousness. She was always serious about learning something new, he liked that about her. Now that she wrote down what he said, he realized that she wanted to get some pieces of advice from him. 

Therefore, he continued to give her advice.

"Don\'t drink alcohol or take drugs. Sometimes, children around your age have too much curiosity and then fall into the trap of bad adults. You have to avoid people who are into alcohol or drugs and anything that addicts them."

"Don\'t become a slave of any practice or habit. Make them your slave."

"Becoming curious about things isn\'t bad. However, if you don\'t know what will be the outcome, don\'t go too deep."

If you want to go out with someone or go out to meet with someone leave a note behind with details so that if anything dangerous happens, police will find you easily."

"Stay away from people who are very friendly. It means that they have some hidden agenda."

"Some people can be mysterious. If you sense danger, stop there, turn around, and run away. You have to understand that there won\'t be any close one to save you."

"Just because you know karate, doesn\'t mean you are invincible. There are people out there who are more intelligent and powerful than you are."

"Know your limit."

"Don\'t ever underestimate your opponent or friend. No need to overestimate them either. Just observe what kind of people they are. If they are people from whom you can learn something good and useful, get along with them."

"Take the good habits from people, not the bad ones."

"Don\'t show your weakness to people so easily. They will take advantage of it."

"If the situation is dire, show people your tears. Things will go on your side. However, sometimes tears make people more excited. So you have to be careful and have to understand if it\'s the right time to show tears." 

"Remember, people like to see others suffer. Don\'t let them have that joy. Stay calm and cool. The ship will go the way you want." 

"Lifeline is not straight. So, don\'t think about going in the straight line. If your moves are understandable, your enemy will gain the upper hand."

"Even if you are the purest person in the world, there will be always people who will hate you. So, be careful about the people around you."

"Don\'t try to take medicine if it isn\'t anything serious. There are always natural remedies other than medicine. Try them even if it\'s hard."

"Always try to do things on your own. If you have the capabilities, there is no reason for you to take other\'s favor."

As he spoke, Han Luo wrote them all down. Her handwriting is neat and clean. It shows how attentive and sincere she was. She is eager to learn more. She is also witty enough not to do anything that Noah told her not to.

Noah declared, "From tomorrow, I will teach you the basic cooking that will help you to survive in tremendous hunger."

"I\'ll humbly accept your teaching, master," Han Luo dramatically cupped her hands and bowed. "I\'ll be going now. Good night."

As she was about to leave, Noah suddenly pulled Han Luo away from the mother-son pair. "What\'s going on between you and Young Master Mo?"

Han Luo frowned. "What do you mean?" She pretended not to know what he meant by his question.

Noah smacked her head, "Don\'t you question me! You know exactly well what I\'m asking. He has done so much for you and you did the same. Something is fishy."

Han Luo averted her gaze and her face was a bit red. She was feeling embarrassed. "Fine, it\'s not anything important. It\'s just I agreed to become big brother Yuan\'s lover when we grow up."

Though she agreed, judging by his expression today, she was a little bit scared. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked like a scary demon from a fairy tale. She was worried that he might not become her lover but she could always talk it out.

While she was wholeheartedly thinking about her current situation, Noah had a face that could be displayed in the museum.

"…" Noah thought that his heart stopped for a moment. He exclaimed in astonishment, "Why on earth did you do that?!"

Han Luo casually replied, "I want to gain some experience but I\'m worried that it will be troublesome if it\'s another boy. So, I told him that I would be his lover. However, we will break up when I find a man for myself who I want to marry."

"!!!" Noah thought that there was something wrong with his ear mechanism. "…You don\'t want to marry Young Master Mo…" It\'s almost like he was giving a statement rather than trying to confirm it.

"That\'s right," Han Luo nodded.

Noah asked, "Did you tell him that you wouldn\'t marry him?"

Han Luo answered positively, "I did. I didn\'t want to trouble him later."

"…" Noah was speechless. He never thought that his disciple would be so ignorantly cruel. She viciously stabbed Mo Yuan without even knowing and made him bleed. 

He patted Han Luo\'s back. "I\'m so proud of you, brat. You are truly my disciple." He tried to imagine what kind of expression Mo Yuan had after hearing it from her mouth. He felt delighted.

Han Luo didn\'t know why he was acting so suspiciously. She only said confusedly, "…Thanks… I\'m going. Good night."

"Good night," after she left, Noah closed the door.
