Outsiders have their own perspectives, and insiders naturally possess their own insights.As Han ShuYi watched HuMing shoot over him, he felt a twinge of regret. Sёarᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

However, since he had promised to play against HuMing with one hand, he had no intention of backing down.

To take care of HuMing, they had chosen to change service every round.

With the ball in one hand, Han ShuYi executed a quick move, trying to accelerate past HuMing's side. But before he could make his next move, HuMing positioned himself to block Han ShuYi's path.

His gaze sharpened as he pulled the ball behind him, aiming to draw HuMing's defense out and disrupt his rhythm. Yet, HuMing ignores his movement. He stepped up to block Han ShuYi's dribbling hand and leaned against Han ShuYi's body, making it difficult for him to control the ball.

"Han ShuYi, you look a bit uncomfortable there. Why don't you use both hands?"

HuMing's remark only fueled Han ShuYi's frustration. He had thought the game would be one-sided, but he hadn't expected HuMing to be able to counter his moves.

Determined, he planned to force his way past HuMing for a layup. His eyes narrowed as he leaned into HuMing, but the next moment, HuMing suddenly vanished.

In an instant, HuMing reached out and snatched the basketball from Han ShuYi's hand!

Han ShuYi lost his balance and fell hard to the ground.

Seeing this, Zhou WenLi gasped and hurried over while Han LiTian shook his head.

He could tell that Han ShuYi had panicked at that last moment.

In contrast, HuMing's movements were smooth and controlled; even his final ball snatch was clean and precise.

Zhou WenLi rushed to help Han ShuYi up and then turned to HuMing angrily.

"HuMing, what you did just now was very dangerous, you know?"

"My fault," HuMing readily admitted, not intending to argue with Zhou WenLi.

Zhou Wenli, hearing HuMing quickly admit his mistake, decided not to say anything further. However, when Han ShuYi looked up at HuMing, he happened to meet his smile.

That smile seemed to be mocking his arrogance!

He couldn't understand why a beginner like HuMing could make him look so bad!

Han YunXi quickly walked over from the side. She had also seen clearly that HuMing seemed to have pulled a chair from under Han ShuYi.

Though people often said such actions were dangerous, it wasn't considered a foul in the rules, so HuMing's actions weren't a problem.

Han ShuYi was helped up by Zhou Wenli, who had no intention of letting him continue playing. She pulled him towards the villa, regardless of how much he protested.

Seeing this, Han LiTian could only shake his head in silence. His wife treated Han Shu Yi like a child, making a big fuss over such a minor issue.

It was how HuMing had been spoiled by her in the past.

Thinking of this, Han LiTian approached HuMing and patted him on the shoulder, his face beaming with a smile.

Han ShuYi turned his head and happened to see this scene. His fists clenched tightly, his expression full of unwillingness.

Everything should have belonged to him!

...

That night, Kang Xin walked out of HuMing's room, carrying her study materials in her arms as she passed through the hall.

In the hall, she overheard a conversation between Han Shu Yi and his parents, Han LiTian and Zhou Wenli.

"Mom, Dad, HuMing's maid, Kang Xin, is about our age. So I think she should also have the opportunity to attend school."

Kang Xin quietly stood in the corner, listening to their conversation.

Han Shu Yi wore a serious expression, while Han Litian rubbed his chin, seemingly deep in thought.

Zhou Wenli couldn't help but interject, "You talking about that girl? When HuMing rescued her from outside, she was so thinly dressed that she almost froze to death out there, and since then, she's been by HuMing's side. But ShuYi, what made you think about sending her to school?"

"Because I see her next to HuMing all day, and aside from taking care of him, it seems she has nothing else to do. I thought a girl like her would want to study. So, I was thinking if she could receive some education, so even if she leaves HuMing in the future, she'd be able to find something to do."

Han ShuYi's words reflected his concern for Kang Xin.

Zhou Wenli felt greatly relieved by this; her son was still considerate of others.

On the contrary, HuMing, who, after having Kang Xin by his side for so long, hadn't even thought about sending her to school!

Han LiTian pondered momentarily before saying, "I will consider what you said. But It mainly depends on Kang Xin herself."

"But Kang Xin has been taking care of HuMing for such a long time; what if HuMing doesn't agree..." Han ShuYi expressed his concerns, but he only touched on it briefly.

Some things didn't need to be said so explicitly.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenli quickly took over the conversation.

"Isn't that simple? We can let other servants take care of Hu Ming!"

"I don't need that," a voice came from the corner.

Everyone turned to see Kang Xin calmly stepping out, her expression neutral as she quietly looked at them.

Zhou Wenli furrowed her brow upon hearing Kang Xin's response, her mood clearly displeased.

Her son was being considerate of her, yet she had rejected it!

"Kang Xin, do you know what you're saying? You have the opportunity to study now and improve yourself. Why are you refusing?"

Zhou Wenli said, her voice laced with dissatisfaction, while Han ShuYi's expression remained unchanged.

Perhaps he had anticipated such an outcome.

Han LiTian was also puzzled as to why Kang Xin would say this. He didn't know much about her, but he could see that Kang Xin always followed Hu Ming around the house like his shadow.

"I understand what I'm doing. I'm grateful enough that Young Master saved me. I don't hope for anything more.."

With these words, both Zhou Wenli and Han LiTian fell silent.

After all, they watched as HuMing rescued this little girl back then. Now, it seemed her entire world revolved around him alone.

This problem is unsolvable!

But Han ShuYi stood up, his gaze sincere, his voice filled with concern.  

"Kang Xin, I understand how grateful you are to HuMing, but I think... you should live for yourself at least once, shouldn't you?"



These were not new words. He had said the same thing to Li Yue in the past, using similar reasoning to persuade her.

In Han ShuYi's eyes, what girls like Kang Xin lacked was confidence. If given enough of it and helped behind the scenes, they would surely experience profound change.

He saw Kang Xin as just that kind of person.

But then, in the calmest voice imaginable, Kang Xin's reply left everyone in shock.

"Young Master saved my life. I will live only for him."
