"Hu Ming, please don't be like this."
LiYue wanted to step forward to persuade him, only for HuMing to wave his hand helplessly, his expression unchanged.
"I don't really care about this. I will not change because of someone's opinion, nor will I be unable to live because of someone's actions. So, can I go in now?"
The two were standing in the doorway, creating a minor obstruction.
HuMing had been wanting to enter for quite some time.
Seeing HuMing's stubbornness, Han ShuYi could only let out a sigh.
Meanwhile, LiYue frowned as she watched HuMing leave, wanting to say something but unable to find the words. Finally, the two had no choice but to leave.
HuMing bought two bottles of water and paid for them together.
"I'll pay you back later."
Ye QiuXue was sensitive to monetary relations and had initially planned to pay herself.
HuMing turned to look at her, a playful smile dancing across his lips.
"Perhaps I will be the one drinking this later?"
Under Ye QiuXue's confused gaze, he headed to the schoolyard.
...
After warming up, HuMing found a shady place under a tree to rest.
Some students had come to the field early on--- playing basketball or soccer. None interested him.
Girls gathered beneath the trees, afraid of the sun touching their skin.
Next door, another class was undergoing a long-distance running test, which many found entertaining.
And when Ye QiuXue stood on the track, many of the boys who were still exercising looked over. Their attention was on Ye QiuXue.
"Hey, how far do you think Ye QiuXue will leave her class behind later?"
"Don't bother. You won't even see their shadow!"
HuMing leaned against a large tree, hands behind his head, and watched Ye QiuXue with interest.
Just as the whistle blew, one individual hooked everyone's attention. Ye QuiXue, in just a few dozen meters, effortlessly outpaced everyone else by a considerable distance.
Her ponytail swayed in the sunlight as she sprinted with unwavering resolve. Her captivating gaze, elegant figure, and fluid movement caught the attention of many.
"Wow, her legs are super long!"
"I really want to lie on them for a little."
"I'm different. I want her to step on me."
"Damn!"
Ye QiuXue was naturally unaware of what others were thinking; she only wanted to do her best in everything. In this regard, she is a stark contrast to HuMing.
'Speaking of Han HuMing, didn't I see him sleeping under the tree? Isn't he usually exercising with others?'
'Wait, why am I suddenly thinking about Han HuMing?'
Ye Qiu Xue couldn't help but find her thoughts strange, but they soon went away. She maintained a steady pace and continued towards the finish line.
The pleasant scene amusingly contrasted the girls following closely behind Ye QiuXue with a hint of desperation. Whenever they watched this scene, it never failed to entertain them. It was like watching a thrilling race between a fleet of bicycles and a lone Ferrari.
Seeing Ye QiuXue's overwhelming speed, HuMing quickly lost interest and stopped watching. As he had mentioned earlier, he was indeed in need of some rest.
At noon, to make those wrong answers look plausible, he tried to think of ways to make the mistakes seem realistic. Which, for real, put him in a dilemma. Who would deliberately make mistakes on a test?
If Ye QiuXue knew what HuMing was thinking, she would most likely twist his head off and replace it with the wind chimes on the rooftop.
A gentle breeze wafted by, stirring HuMing's thoughts and past memories.
A mysterious man in a black trench coat stood amidst fierce winds and rain, removing his mask. His eyes were devoid of any emotion.
He quietly observed his reflection like a soulless corpse.
HuMing subconsciously reached out to touch him. However, as soon as his hand made contact, everything in front of him disintegrated, vanishing into thin air.
'Boring tricks.'
HuMing withdrew his hands and gazed ahead coldly as if waiting for time to pass.
Suddenly, something appeared to press against the back of his head. A chilling sensation spread from the back of his head to his entire body.
"Goodbye, HuMing."
"BANG!"
A loud noise echoed behind him, but HuMing stood quietly in place.
"Han HuMing?"
"Han HuMing..."
"HuMing!"
The voice pulled HuMing forcefully out of his dream.
As he opened his eyes, he saw a girl standing before him. Her physique was illuminated by the brilliant rays of the sun behind her.
HuMing looked at the girl before him and finally realized where he was.
Ye QiuXue stood with her hands on her hips, fuming. She hadn't expected HuMing to fall asleep outside.
Could it be because she had given him too many tasks at noon, making him doze off during P.E.?
Ye QiuXue felt the need to make some adjustments to her plans.
"President, is class over?"
"It's not over, but someone got injured playing soccer in my class. Do you want to substitute?"
HuMing squinted his eyes as he followed Ye QiuXue's gaze. He saw a student holding his leg in pain.
"Aren't there other people in your class? Besides, isn't it awkward for me to help your class when our classes are against each other?"
"Well, you might actually be happy to join. It was Han ShuYi who suggested it." Upon hearing Ye QiuXue's words, HuMing was stunned.
There, Han ShuYi stood, looking over at him with his hands on his hips and breathing heavily. Meanwhile, LiYue excitedly approached him with a bottle of water.
"By the looks of it, your class seems to be losing, huh?"
"We are losing and also short on players."
"Will your classmates agree? After all, I'm not exactly popular."
HuMing said as he stood up, a confident smile on his face.
"This is the first time I'm using my status privileges. I hope you won't embarrass me."
Ye QiuXue turned and walked towards her class, with HuMing following behind her, like a princess and her entourage.
...
Despite their reluctance, the students couldn't defy Ye QiuXue, who insisted on putting HuMing on the field. Her classmates on the field could only swallow their objections.
They only hoped that HuMing wouldn't drag them down.
At the same time, HuMing's classmates, who knew his abilities well and were already ahead by two goals, appeared even more relaxed.
Someone approached HuMing, smiling, and said,
"Han HuMing, don't embarrass our class. You're the first outside aid to play for another class."
Facing the other side's smile, HuMing made a move that surprised everyone.
He smiled back with a playful glint in his eyes.
"As you wish."
