Vol. 1 - Ch. 45 - Asking for trouble?

Today, right when school started, something quite unusual wafted around among the students.SuLiu had actually gone out of her way to bring breakfast to HuMing!

Initially, there were skeptics, but as the word spread and conversations grew, a hush fell over everyone, acknowledging the undeniable truth.

But how did the situation shift from HuMing constantly pursuing SuLiu to SuLiu now pursuing HuMing?

"This is unbelievable; the world has changed. How could something like this happen in real life? It feels like a sci-fi film!"

"You may not be aware, but HuMing has recently become quite popular. I heard he scored three goals for his team in PE class!"

"He scored for his team? What the heck, tell me more!"

Students are always interested in the latest gossip, more so when it revolves around well-known individuals!

And the originator of this incident was indeed delivering breakfast to HuMing.

SuLiu, with her impressive height, indeed declared the role of the most beautiful girl in school!

Her long legs were perfectly proportioned, exuding an undeniable allure, particularly when adorned in attractive black stockings.

Her short skirt, paired with black stockings, glistened under the lights. As she stood before the full-length mirror, her posture exuded charm. A faint smile played on her lips, partially concealed by her flowing hair. Her eyes held a captivating blend of playfulness and timidity.

Boys who passed by couldn't help but take a second glance.

Today, she was exceptionally beautiful.

Noticing the gazes of the boys around her, SuLiu felt even more proud.

She believed her meticulous effort in dressing up today had certainly paid off. After all, HuMing used to like her dressing like this the most!

If she added a little more gentleness when delivering breakfast to him later, he would undoubtedly be captivated by her!

Till now, Hu Ming had not added her back, just as he had said.

Although there were other pursuers around her, HuMing always felt different from the rest.

In fact, HuMing's exceptional performance on the field only further solidified her belief.

She believes HuMing must have been hiding his talents before!

Now, if she lowered herself to appease him and then seized a chance to ask him out on the weekend, he would surely have a change of heart!

Su Liu calculated everything in her mind while leaning against the wall, patiently waiting for HuMing to arrive.

Meanwhile, HuMing was walking to school with Ye QiuXue.

Ye QiuXue had already told HuMing what tests to do for lunch today, and she had also stated that she would be busy over the weekend and might not give him any assignments on Monday.

However, she instructed him not to slack off in his studies, as the foundation must be laid from the first year of high school.

HuMing sometimes felt like Ye QiuXue was a strict mother rather than a classmate. She paid close attention to every detail and refused to let him slack off.

He could only say she is a very responsible person.

"Han HuMing, how has your relationship with your family been lately?"

Ye QiuXue looked at HuMing, her pace in sync with his.

"Not great. Why do you ask?" HuMing was puzzled as to why Ye QiuXue would suddenly ask him such a question. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ɴøvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

"I... Do you ever feel that the world is a bit surreal, like suddenly you're not your parents' child anymore?"

"I accepted this fact from the first day. Some things can't be forced."

HuMing casually dismissed, waving his hand as if it were of no concern.

However, to Ye QiuXue, it appeared as though he was concealing his true feelings.

She looked at HuMing, her mind occupied with other thoughts.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ye QiuXue came to a sudden stop right before reaching the entrance of the school. 

Noticing Ye QiuXue's strange behavior, HuMing turned his head in confusion, showing some concern on his face.

"President, what's wrong? Why do I feel like you're acting so strangely today?"

"Do you... hate your biological parents?"

Upon hearing this, HuMing's expression immediately became serious.

Ye QiuXue wouldn't usually talk about such things with him, but today, she was unusually out of character, and there seemed to be no prior indication. Something must have happened last night.

HuMing looked at her and said solemnly,

"President, I'm not sure what you've been through, but you've met my parents. The moment that woman pushed me, I had nothing to do with her anymore."

He looked at Ye QiuXue as her expression softened.

"Family affection isn't cold; human nature is."

They remained quiet for an extended period as people walked past and cast glances their way, but they paid no heed to those curious gazes.

Ye QiuXue took a deep breath and showed a rare bitter smile.

"To think that I would be lectured by you... It seems I really was overthinking."

"By the way, President. If I was one day kicked out of the Han family, would you take me in?"

"What are you talking about?! You're a boy, and I'm a girl. How could I take you in!" Ye QiuXue retorted.

She had just thought HuMing was becoming more decent, but he quickly resumed making odd remarks.

Ye QiuXue shook her head, about to walk into the school, when she noticed HuMing's expression. HuMing appeared relaxed, but his eyes held a hint of seriousness.

'Seriously, this person is driving me crazy! Why is he suddenly thinking about such things?'

Ye QiuXue couldn't understand what was going through HuMing's mind. After all, he still lived with the Han family, and given Han YunXi's positive attitude towards him, how could he be kicked out?

In the end, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Fine, fine, I'll take you in if it ever happens! I don't know what's going on in your head. Stop being so pessimistic, okay?"

"Oh, you're the best, President!"

HuMing's face broke into a wide grin, clearly happy.

The two were about to turn a corner and part ways, but just as they did, they bumped into a person neither wanted to meet!

Hu Ming found that person bothersome, whereas Ye QiuXue believed that person would cause problems for her. In any case, both of them looked at that person with disapproval.

It seemed that the person had overheard their conversation. She pursed her lips, displaying a touch of nervousness, and said,

"HuMing, good morning. I brought you breakfast!"

Receiving breakfast from the stunning school Belle was definitely a moment worth bragging about. However, for HuMing, the arrival of SuLiu was anything but welcome.

The last time, he almost got in trouble because of one of her pursuers. Why would he want to do anything with her right now? Unless he'd lost his mind.

Seeing the situation, Ye QiuXue's typically icy demeanor melted once again.

For some reason, her emotions always seemed on edge in front of HuMing.

She turned to look at HuMing, her smile now "friendly".

"Han HuMing, SuLiu personally brought you breakfast. Looks like you're quite lucky with the ladies."

HuMing's body tensed up as Ye QiuXue's piercing stare bore into him.

Although the President was smiling, he could feel a knife pressed against his back.

He forced a smile and responded to Ye QiuXue in a submissive tone.

"President, I really don't know what's going on..."

Seeing HuMing's attitude, SuLiu inexplicably became a bit angry. The once unreasonable Ye QiuXue didn't seem so intimidating to her now.

She turned to Ye QiuXue and voiced dissatisfaction.

"Ye QiuXue, there's nothing wrong with bringing breakfast for a classmate, is there?"

"Oh? Then let's see if Han HuMing will accept it." Ye QiuXue said with a raised eyebrow, arms crossed.

At this moment, HuMing was sweating profusely.

How would he dare to accept?

Was he asking for trouble?
