HuMing's words instantly silenced everyone in the room.
Even Han ShuYi hadn't imagined HuMing would do such a thing after school.
And Madam Han, who had always assumed HuMing had nothing to do, was at a loss for words. She felt a fiery sting on her cheeks as if someone had slapped her hard across the face.
Han YunXi stared blankly at HuMing. She'd never heard of HuMing doing such a thing like this before.
In the past, from her perspective, HuMing constantly did absurd things. Regardless of any incident, she consistently jumped to conclusions and believed HuMing was responsible for disrupting all order.
But now, faced with the facts, it was as if reality had smacked them all in the face.
Han YunXi's gaze at HuMing became somewhat evasive. Now, for some reason, whenever she saw HuMing, it reminded her of when she had treated him disrespectfully.
"Thank you all for what you've done for me. I'm full. You can eat as you like."
HuMing took his hands off the table and walked towards his room.
Everyone watched as his figure slowly moved away, feeling strangely sympathetic.
Han LiTian looked at his wife with a calm expression and said,
"I've said it many times: don't pass judgment on HuMing too quickly. I don't understand why you all like doing that. He stood up, looking at the entire table of delicacies without any appetite.
"I've known about HuMing's situation for a long time. As HuMing said, if you all had paid a little attention, today wouldn't have ended up so awkward. Consider what you did wrong."
Saying so, Han LiTian got up and left.
At the dining table, the remaining overcame an awkward atmosphere.
Madam Han couldn't help but feel a sense of shame. Who would have thought that HuMing would actually spend time doing such a thing?
She had always been lenient with her children and firmly believed she did nothing wrong. It was probably simply due to negligence on her part when dealing with HuMing's matter.
"Mom, let's eat first. Please don't be hungry."
Han ShuYi picked up a piece of meat and placed it in Madam Han's bowl.
"ShuYi, do you think Mom did something wrong?"
"Mom, we all make mistakes. We really should care more about HuMing."
"You should also take care of him more at school."
"Alright."
...
In his room, HuMing lay on his bed, a sense of relief washing over him.
Frankly, he didn't really want to see those people outside.
But since they insisted on doing this, he naturally needed to create distance between them.
How could he let Han ShuYi live so effortlessly? It would be more enjoyable to scheme and manipulate a little.
"Young Master, may I come in?"
"Come in."
KangXin entered and saw HuMing lying on his bed. Her expression remained unchanged as she spoke.
"Young Master, don't lie on the bed right after eating. It's common knowledge."
"I've had an exhausting day today. It's a considerable effort for me to play house with those children."
Although saying so, HuMing still got up from the bed.
KangXin removed her shoes. Under the white knee-high socks were slender legs. She lowered herself onto the bed, slowly inching closer to HuMing.
Seeing her actions, HuMing was dumbfounded, and various inappropriate images flashed through his mind.
"KangXin, what are you doing?! I'm telling you, I don't like skinny girls like you!"
"...Young Master, I just wanted to give you a massage."
KangXin's face showed no emotion, but HuMing sensed a hint of coldness in her eyes.
She must be wanting to kill him!
HuMing felt very awkward. He had read stories about maids crawling onto their masters' beds before, not to mention KangXin, who viewed him positively.
Her slender hand rested on HuMing's shoulder, and he could feel the girl's attentive effort.
Although KangXin followed the original HuMing, according to his personality, apart from SuLiu, he wouldn't bet an eye on other girls.
"KangXin, isn't it boring to be by my side? Look how everyone in this mansion hates me. Even Madam Han, who has raised me for years, dislikes me. Do you think there is a future for someone like me? "
"Young Master, are you testing me?"
HuMing could feel Kangxin's strength increasing.
"It's not a test, I'm just asking."
"Young Master, you saved my life. I will not betray you over something like this."
Despite KangXin's typically expressionless face, she took caring for HuMing very seriously.
According to the original's personality, without KangXin's care, he would likely have been long gone.
Thinking so, HuMing leaned back suddenly, resting his head on KangXin's shoulder.
"What if I were to say that one day, I will be leaving here?"
"It would be us leaving."
The scent of the girl was soothing. KangXin rested HuMing's head on her lap and gently massaged his head.
Outside, the night sky was adorned with a multitude of stars.
In the quiet room, their actions exuded a comforting warmth.
While KangXin was massaging HuMing's acupoints, she stared blankly out the window.
"Is there something you want to ask?"
HuMing's voice interrupted her thoughts.
Kangxin's eyes locked with Hu Ming's, radiating a caring expression entirely new to her.
Young Master had never looked at her with such a gaze before. Was it because of his identity change that his personality was influenced?
But she'd never heard that Young Master could handle so many thugs alone. KangXin became skeptical after witnessing Young Master deal with so many people up close today while remaining calm and composed.
"Young Master, you're amazing."
"KangXin, you find me unfamiliar, don't you?"
HuMing's words stunned KangXin. She wasn't sure what HuMing meant.
HuMing gestured for her to come closer.
KangXin bent down, bringing her ear closer to HuMing.
"If even you are unable to notice, that means my disguise is quite successful."
"...So, Young Master, have you only been acting all that time? But why?"
"Well, with the identity of the Han family's Young Master. If I didn't portray myself as useless, I'm sure many people would come after me."
HuMing spoke as if unconcerned.
But to KangXin, this secret made her heart race.
So this is Young Master's secret?
So, Young Master has never been as incompetent as she imagined?
Lost in thought, KangXin couldn't find the words to express her feelings.
Seeing KangXin like this, HuMing closed his eyes, satisfied, comfortably lying on her lap, enjoying the beauty's lap pillow.
