Chapter 37 Yes, I Will Marry Him.
Mu Yuehan was Qin Tian's knight in shining armour. He protected her from many bullies.
Cousin of Qin Tian, Qin Yutong studied in the same school as hers and she constantly sent some boys to bully her.
"Why are you bullying me?" Qin Tian yelled when five boys, seniors to her formed a circle around her.
"Your cousin promised us that she will play games with us if we bully you." One of the boys spoke. He was about to pull on the ponytail of Qin Tian when Mu Yuehan took a hold of his hand.
A six-year-old Mu Yuehan walked in front of Qin Tian like her protecting wall. Qin Tian smiled with relief when she saw him.
"Boy, move aside. We don't want to beat you."
"Let's see who will beat who?" Mu Yuehan looked at the five boys and did a quick calculation in his mind.
His father had already sent him to the military and self-defence classes. Mu Yuehan knew he could easily take down these five boys.
"I am warning…." Before the senior could complete, Mu Yuehan punched him hard on his nose.
"You…. attack him."
Seniors started to attack Mu Yuehan and he fought with them like an expert. Qin Tian walked aside and looked at Mu Yuehan with awe. She was again impressed with Mu Yuehan.
She secretly eyed her cousin. Qin Yutong was also looking at Mu Yuehan with wide eyes. She smiled with pride upon having such a strong friend. She grinned knowing well that her cousin would again be jealous of her.
"I am warning you to stay away from my friend." Mu Yuehan kicked one of the seniors and walked toward Qin Tian.
The seniors stood up from the ground and glared at Mu Yuehan. They were badly beaten by a boy year younger than them. They felt ashamed.
"Yuehan, are you alright?" Qin Tian walked toward Mu Yuehan and looked at him with concern.
Mu Yuehan had bruised knuckle and a cut beside his lips which was nothing in comparison to the condition of boys who needed urgent help.
"I am alright." Mu Yuehan smiled, not feeling any pain at all. These many wounds were nothing to him.
"But you are hurt." Qin Tian looked at him with teary eyes and then at his red knuckles.
Her mother used to kiss her wounds whenever she was hurt, taking her pain away. She thought of trying the same remedy with Mu Yuehan.
So, she leaned down and quickly kissed the knuckles of Mu Yuehan. He blushed, and his heart skipped a beat. "It will hurt less after my magical kiss."
Qin Tian stood up straight and then looked at his lips. Alarmed, Mu Yuehan looked at her with wide eyes and quickly covered his lips, before Qin Tian could kiss him there. His heart was beating frantically.
"You should not kiss me there. Mommy told me, a girl and boy should kiss each other on their lips only after their marriage." Mu Yuehan informed, feeling a small fuse in his brain.
"Ok." Qin Tian nodded her head.
Qin Tian then pulled Mu Yuehan to the first aid office and stayed by his side all the time. Later, their parents and the parents of seniors were called by the principal.
"Mommy, please don't let the principal punish Yuehan. He fought with those bad boys because of me. They were bullying me." Qin Tian looked at her mother with teary eyes, afraid that Mu Yuehan would get strict punishment.
When the principal heard stories from both sides, she forgave Mu Yuehan with small warming. Instead of fighting, he should have informed his teachers. The seniors were given strict punishment.

Qin Lijuan and Mu family also became close because of their friendship. They spent quality time together as a family gathering.
Qin Lijuan and Chen Mingyu were aware of how their kids liked each other and they usually joked about getting them married once they achieved the marriageable age.
"They look so compatible together." Chen Mingyu grinned and looked at their kids. They were giving water to the plants. She then called for Qin Tian and Mu Yuehan.
"Little Tian, will you marry Mu Yuehan?" Chen Mingyu asked in a soft voice.
"Mommy, what is marry?" Qin Tian asked her mother, looking clueless.
"Marry is when a boy and a girl promise to stay together forever. Just like Mingyu aunty and uncle." Qin Lijuan explained.
Qin Tian nodded her head at her mother's explanation and then looked at Chen Mingyu. "I will marry him." That way, I will always stay together with Mu Yuchen. We will play together and will together handle the company of mommy.
"Yuehan, will you marry her?"
Mu Yuehan thought about all the kisses and how his heart skipped a beat. He grinned, enthusiastically nodding his head.
At that moment, he decided that he was going to marry Qin Tian only. Only she would be his wife.
For Qin Tian, marriage was nothing but a sort of game but for Mu Yuehan, it was a lifetime commitment.
'I will marry her. Mommy also likes her. Only she will become the daughter of my mommy.'
"TianTian, will you marry me?" Mu Yuehan asked Qin Tian and looked at her with expectation.
"I will marry you, Yuehan." Qin Tian smiled and hugged him.
Mu Yuehan shied like a boyfriend who heard a yes on his proposal. He hugged her tight, making both ladies chuckle.
Their friendship grew stronger with time but soon they had to part ways.
Mu family shifted out of the country because Mu Yuehan's father wanted to spread his business foreign.
With time, Qin Tian completely forgot about the presence of Mu Yuehan in her life, especially after the death of her mother, when she had blocked many bitter memories, one being separation from Mu Yuehan.
While growing up, Mu Yuehan also forgot about Qin Tian. He could only remember his first kiss and how his heart used to act differently when in the presence of a certain girl.
