Vol. 1 - Chapter 38 - Mending relationship
Rumors about HuMing and Han ShuYi were full of their strained relationship.
But when on the field, HuMing reached out to help Han ShuYi, a moment witnessed by all, the airy rumors crumbled on their own.
HuMing walked towards the edge of the field, accompanied by his excited teammates. Without him, they would have suffered a defeat today. What's more, they even managed to crush their opponent's morale. In the past, there were no chances to win, thanks to Han ShuYi.
This time, they won the match with the help of someone from their opponent's class. What possibly would be more painful than being stabbed in the back by your own people?
The classmates from HuMing's class looked at his leaving figure, feeling powerless as they lay on the ground.
HuMing's force was beyond their expectations. HuMing evened the score in just half a match. If this got out, they were likely to get roasted.
But HuMing himself didn't seem to care much about the situation.
LiYue hurriedly approached Han ShuYi, holding a bottle of water. Despite the team's defeat, Han ShuYi managed to score both goals. LiYue felt he had been outstanding.
As she passed by HuMing, she wanted to greet him, but HuMing walked right past her without even glancing at her, leaving her feeling a little disheartened.
It seemed like she couldn't even be friends with HuMing anymore...
HuMing had no intention of greeting LiYue because Ye QiuXue was on the sidelines waiting for him.
"So, you faked not to know how to play soccer before?"
Ye QiuXue handed HuMing the water she was holding, leaving everyone stunned.
They were already surprised when Ye Qiuxue suggested HuMing. Now, seeing them so close, with Ye QiuXue even offering water to HuMing, when did their relationship become so intimate?
Some couldn't understand, while others felt envious.
After all, that was an opportunity to talk with Ye QiuXue!
Han ShuYi observed the unfolding scene while holding the water bottle given to him by LiYue. He gripped the bottle tightly, causing the remaining water to splash out.
How did he not know that HuMing and Ye QiuXue were so buddy-buddy? When did their relationship become so good?
[HuMing, just wait. I'm not going to give up easily.]
Han ShuYi turned and walked directly toward the classroom, with LiYue tailing behind, occasionally glancing at HuMing.
She also didn't understand why HuMing and Ye QiuXue were chatting so happily.
Meanwhile, on the other side, HuMing drank the water Ye QiuXue had given him.
It was actually his own water bottle, but he had asked Ye QiuXue to keep it for him before the match.
As HuMing observed the jealous expressions on his classmates' faces, a sense of satisfaction washed over him. Emerging victorious in the game and being offered water by a beautiful girl made him feel like a true winner in life.
"HuMing, how many secrets do you have that I don't know about?"
Ye QiuXue asked curiously, genuinely wanting to understand HuMing.
Whenever they met, she found something new and unique about him, like a treasure chest brimming with surprises.
"President, if you really want to understand me, it will take some time and effort. I'm much more interesting than the questions you solve."
"Hmm, do you believe I'll add more questions for you tomorrow?"
"Forget it. Pretend I didn't say anything."
HuMing was genuinely afraid of doing those questions, as they were thankless tasks, and he had to get corrected on mistakes constantly.
Seeing HuMing's reluctant expression, Ye QiuXue couldn't help but chuckle.
And this scene was the one that reflected in everyone's eyes.
Her smile, a stunning curve at the corner of her mouth, resembled a blossoming white orchid, exuding happiness and satisfaction.
HuMing and Ye QiuXue were very close, and when they stood together, there was a natural ease between them.
This made others even more resentful.
They really didn't want to admit that HuMing and Ye QiuXue made a good match.
...
The news about HuMing quickly spread to several nearby classes, and many people glanced at HuMing's classroom with curiosity as they passed by.
However, HuMing's expression stayed the same as before, as if nothing had happened, in stark contrast to the other students in his class.
Soon, the school day came to an end.
HuMing packed up his things, planning to go home.
The atmosphere at the Han family had almost cleared; additional pressure wouldn't be of any help to him.
As for Madam Han, she could do whatever she wanted, HuMing didn't care.
When there are apparent disagreements within the family, it indicates that stable family relationships are cracking, and if one continues to hit that crack, everything beautiful will crumble.
HuMing was still waiting; he was waiting for an opportunity.
An opportunity to leave the Han family.
He could not say he had any particular feelings for the Han family. Aside from the fact that he was not a Han family child, Han ShuYi's presence made his stay uncomfortable.
To have someone always watching you, how could he be comfortable?
More importantly, he disliked being called "Han HuMing".
His real name is only "HuMing"!
But for now, there is still something important he needed to find out.
He stuffed the test papers Ye QiuXue gave him in his backpack and was about to leave.
But, at this moment, Han YunXi appeared.
With her hands behind her back, she looked at HuMing excitedly.
"Brother, I heard from my classmates that you scored three goals today!"
These words were like rubbing salt in the wounds of other students! But nobody dared to complain because she was Han ShuYi's sister.
Meanwhile, without turning his head, Han ShuYi packed his belongings. However, his hair curtained a grim face.
It dawned on him that everything was not going according to his plan!
Originally, he intended to drive a wedge between HuMing and the Han family, but Han YunXi and Han LiTian's affections for HuMing had not only not diminished but had grown significantly.
This made him somewhat frustrated.
Everything should have gone accordingly!
However, HuMing appeared to have kept many things hidden. For example, he had not anticipated HuMing's strength to outweigh his own. Throughout the game, it felt like HuMing was manipulating him, passively following his orders.
This feeling was very distasteful!
But he wouldn't let this continue; he would let HuMing know who the real young master of the Han family was!
With this thought, his eyes flashed sharply.
Meanwhile, Han YunXi had already attached herself to HuMing. She hugged his shoulders and spoke to him coquettishly, like a child.
"Brother, after hearing what you said yesterday, I also want to see those children. Can we go together today?"
Seeing Han YunXi's demeanor, HuMing could roughly guess her intentions - she wanted to mend their relationship.
