HuMing lingered by the entrance for a while, drawing the attention of several girls who approached him to ask for his contact information.
After being here for so long, HuMing almost forgot that this borrowed shell—Han HuMing—actually had quite a handsome appearance.
However, he had no intention of giving his contact information to anyone. After all, such things were rather important. Adding unfamiliar people would only bring unnecessary trouble.
Besides, those girls were clearly eyeing his body—how could he give in so easily?
Ye QiuXue didn't keep him waiting for too long. When she finally emerged, however, the group of boys surrounding her caught HuMing's attention.
Without him even realizing it, Ye QiuXue already had so many admirers.
Back at school, there had been no shortage of boys with their eyes on her. Yet, constrained by her status as student council president, most of them had held back. But here in the capital, those well-dressed rich boys clearly had no such reservations.
They followed the straightforward principle of pursuing girls openly and boldly.
Not that any of this bothered HuMing. If anything, he had always trusted Ye QiuXue's judgment.
Whatever intentions these guys harbored, Ye QiuXue could probably see through them better than he could. After all, she'd grown up in this kind of environment.
As he walked toward her, he saw the surprise on her face—and the hostility on the faces of the boys around her.
He ignored them. He was here for Ye QiuXue.
"Surprised to see me?"
"Not... it's just—what are you doing in the capital? Weren't you supposed to..." Ye QiuXue trailed off, suddenly remembering that HuMing had never told her where he was heading next.
His presence here was the perfect answer to that unspoken question.
No wonder he'd said last night that he'd come to see her—she'd thought he was joking at the time.
"So, are you staying in the capital for good?"
Ye QiuXue ignored the boys and walked straight up to HuMing.
"Yeah, I'll be staying here from now on. I'll explain everything to you later."
"Then let's go."
Without waiting for any objections, Ye QiuXue grabbed the corner of HuMing's jacket and led him away.
All the onlookers were left staring, dumbfounded.
Because on Ye QiuXue's face was a smile—genuine, unforced happiness.
More importantly, she was openly interacting with a boy. Back at school, no one had ever seen her this close to any guy.
Curiosity bloomed among the bystanders. Judging from their conversation, it was clear these two had known each other for a long time.
It was as if someone had suddenly cut in and taken the lead in the middle of the race.
Neither HuMing nor Ye QiuXue paid any attention to them as they left the school grounds.
To Ye QiuXue, HuMing's appearance felt almost surreal—especially because he had actually come all the way to the capital.
This made her very curious about what HuMing was planning to do.
"HuMing, why did you come to the capital? Didn't you say you'd only come if you had the chance?"
"Can't I come because I want to see you?" HuMing turned to her, a smile on his face.
Ye QiuXue's heart began to race. She stole a glance at him, only to find him already looking at her.
She froze.
When has HuMing ever said things like this?
The HuMing she knew was supposed to be a dense, clueless blockhead!
Yet now he was standing right before her, saying he wanted to see her.
Her mind was in turmoil. She didn't even know how to respond.
‘He's here just to see me... does that mean he actually…’
Ye QiuXue didn't dare finish the thought—afraid she might start imagining their entire future together.
That would be far too embarrassing.
"I'm just joking. I have important business here... though I did want to see you, too."
HuMing turned back toward the bustling streets ahead.
Ye QiuXue let out a small sigh of relief, though a faint sense of disappointment lingered in her heart.
‘He's not here just for me... but he still made time to see me, didn't he?’
The two walked side by side through the lively streets. Despite being in the capital, the atmosphere felt much like the streets they had once wandered together.
Vendors called out for customers, each person striving to make a living.
For both of them, this kind of environment was familiar—almost comforting.
HuMing had struggled through days like these, and even Ye QiuXue had grown up amid the noise of street vendors.
"HuMing, renting a place in the capital is expensive. Is the Han family paying for you to stay here?"
"No... I came back to the capital because I found my real family."
"What?!" Ye QiuXue's eyes widened in shock.
She knew how long HuMing had been searching for his origins. But she hadn't expected him to find them so soon.
Would they accept him after all this time?
Ye QiuXue worried for him, but HuMing's calm smile reassured her.
"Don't worry—they're good people. I've met my birth parents, but... for certain reasons, I can't confess to them yet. Even so, they've treated me kindly."
He thought of Gu WeiJun and Mo QingXia—how they had welcomed him as if he were truly their child.
Mo QingXia had bought him new clothes and decorated his room herself.
Gu WeiJun had paved every road for him, ensuring he never felt out of place.
Even his grandfather—though their bond was built on the foundation of Second Grandpa—genuinely treated him like family.
Someday, when his true identity was revealed, HuMing was certain they would try to make up for everything they'd missed.
Ye QiuXue finally relaxed.
She understood how much courage it took to reconnect with family.
"When will you tell them? And what about the person who's been living your life all this time? Doesn't he feel threatened by you?"
"I don't know. But I'm not the one who did anything wrong, am I?"
HuMing's gaze was light as he looked at Ye QiuXue.
He seemed completely at ease.
