Transmigrated as the fake young master, I'll beat up the scumbags and b*tches

Vol. 1 - Chapter 15 - He's just using you

HuMing and SuLiu's incident spread quickly throughout the school. Everyone's only explanation was that he grew tired and was unwilling to continue pursuing SuLiu.

Though it was just idle gossip and nothing worth investigating, this wasn't true for the ones pursuing SuLiu!

HuMing stood at a breakfast shop near the school, holding a fried dough stick in one hand and a bowl of soy milk and wontons on the table.

Although the breakfasts prepared by the Han family chef were delicious, HuMing preferred to eat in small establishments such as this one.

On the one hand, he could occasionally obtain the information he sought. As an added bonus, he could also exercise his body in the morning.

This body was, in fact, somewhat weak. The previous guy was not resistant to being beaten up at all. If hit, he would be taken to the hospital right away.

On that note, Han ShuYi has been quiet of late. Although the two rarely spoke, surprisingly, he had made no moves lately.

HuMing couldn't help but be surprised.

"Han HuMing?"

HuMing looked up subconsciously after a voice interrupted his thoughts. He saw Ye QiuXue standing before him, holding a plate of rice noodles with a slightly surprised expression.

"Hmm? Good morning, President. What a coincidence."

"...I have breakfast here every day."

"Then, it must have been a coincidence to meet me here."

HuMing smiled, but Ye QiuXue ignored him and sat opposite him. She gently lifted her ink-black hair and tilted her head to eat the rice noodles gracefully.

HuMing felt strange as he watched her movement.

Why couldn't the original's eyes appreciate someone as stunning as Ye QiuXue?!

Was he perhaps not a fan of her cold personality?

As if sensing HuMing's gaze, Ye QiuXue slowly raised her head, puzzled.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"Don't you know how beautiful you are, President? It's human nature to love beauty."

Regardless of their relationship, Hu Ming spoke boldly.

Ye QiuXue's cheeks turned red, and she glared at Hu Ming before giving him a strong kick with her stocking-clad feet.

HuMing's face turned quite comical as he took a deep breath. Ye QiuXue gave HuMing a white eye, her expression changing significantly.

She had also heard tons of HuMing and SuLiu's news. She couldn't understand why HuMing would abruptly end the relationship. After all, he had often given her a headache when pursuing SuLiu.

Now that he had 'turned over a new leaf', Ye QiuXue wanted to ask what he was thinking.

As if sensing Ye QiuXue's thoughts, HuMing rubbed his leg and said,

"Ask anything you want, President. I will answer you about everything without hiding."

"You talk too much... Still, I wanted to ask, what are your thoughts about SuLiu's matter?"

"My thoughts? I simply don't like her. What other reasons can there be?"

"But hadn't you been pursuing her so eagerly before? Are you giving up like that?"

Ye QiuXue stared at HuMing, hoping to see a change in his expression.

Unfortunately, HuMing remained unfazed, as if discussing something trivial.

"President, your honor..."

"Don't call me your honor!"

"QiuXue? Xue'er?"

"Do you want to die?"

Seeing Ye QiuXue clenching her fists, her eyes turning frigid, HuMing straightened up and said,

"Ye QiuXue, what would you think if you were always kind to someone but they treated your kindness as disposable, even used it as a form of means to brag?"

"...So, you knew she was playing with you?"

"Of course, I was just teasing her. If my identity hadn't been revealed so suddenly, I would have been up to it a while longer."

Hu Ming didn't even blink when lying.

Ye QiuXue completely took in his expression for a moment. Her face lit up as she quickly realized and pinched HuMing's arm with her fingers.

"So you were intentionally fighting me, correct? Do you find taunting me amusing too?"

"Wait, I don't-!"

The two's actions in the noisy breakfast shop resulted in an unexpected scene. They were like young lovers playing around, making many passersby smile knowingly.

...

When HuMing saw LiYue again, he noticed her somewhat strange temperament.

The LiYue he knew was always timid, but now, she held herself to look him in the eye.

"HuMing, have you noticed anything different about me?"

"...Different? You are more confident now?"

"That's right!"

Li Yue nodded enthusiastically. She was thrilled to see HuMing acknowledge her change.

Her family had recently resumed meetings with the Han family, of which HuMing was unaware.

The meetings' content was straightforward, as Han ShuYi was the Han family's original young master. Naturally, her fiancé candidate should switch to Han ShuYi.

LiYue initially refused because she remembered HuMing's words to her. He was the only one who did not discriminate against her. However, she could also sense that HuMing didn't like her...

However, LiYue's persistence had no effect. Soon after, she had her first encounter with Han ShuYi.

It wasn't their first meeting, and Han ShuYi made a good impression the last time they met.

HuMing's words were the only reason she didn't want to get too close to him.

However, as they spent more time together, she realized Han ShuYi wasn't as bad as HuMing had portrayed. In fact, he treated her much better than HuMing did!

[Confidence is what you need right now. You are not inferior to others.]

Until she left, Han ShuYi's words lingered in her mind; those were words HuMing had never said to her.

She was sleepless that night.

After experimenting with bold outfits and makeup, despite the apparent mark on her face, her tall figure drew people's attention.

The looks from the crowd quickly drew her attention. But this time, there were only surprised expressions, and the disdain in their eyes had vanished.

[Han ShuYi's advice really worked!]

For the first time, LiYue developed a hint of fondness for Han ShuYi. However, she was still afraid of upsetting HuMing, so she avoided interacting with Han ShuYi too much.

After several days, she learned about HuMing and SuLiu's disagreement.

Now, in front of HuMing, she hoped his attitude would change towards her.

"You met with Han ShuYi?"

HuMing's words instantly made LiYue's heart race. She couldn't understand why HuMing knew about this.

HuMing couldn't help but sigh when he saw LiYue's anxious expression. He had already previously warned LiYue.

"I..."

"What if I told you Han ShuYi is just using you? Would you not believe it as well?"

HuMing's face remained expressionless.
