Chapter 24 - Personal space
With video evidence and eyewitnesses present. HuMing and Han LiTian soon left the police station.
"What an unreasonable couple, and to think that boy had thoughts of killing someone. I really don't understand what they were thinking!"
Han LiTian's expression was full of dissatisfaction.
Today's events had truly dampened his spirits. He had hoped that everyone, including HuMing, would get along, but this unexpectedly occurred.
Now, HuMing and Han ShuYi's relationship has deteriorated even more.
Han Litian looked helplessly at the young man beside him. He had really transformed.
HuMing acted so quickly that even he couldn't react in time. He actually thought the person before him wasn't Hu Ming.
"HuMing, where did you learn those moves?"
"I learned them from watching videos. I didn't expect to actually use them."
Hu Ming did not feel the need to explain this matter. In his opinion, they were unaware of many of his secrets.
Han LiTian did not press any further after seeing HuMing's expression of indifference.
But thinking back on what HuMing had gone through earlier, he couldn't help but say,
"Don't worry, those two will reflect in prison. You don't have to worry about the outcome."
"Okay."
HuMing nodded in response, but whether he trusted that was another question entirely.
......
Hu Ming quickly rose to fame in the school. When he returned to school, he was the center of attention among students and teachers.
Of course, more gossipers were talking about HuMing's pedigree. They claimed HuMing was an unwanted orphan; his biological parents refused to acknowledge him, and if the Han family abandoned him, would he be able to continue his studies?
Various speculations and rumors were circulating.
But HuMing didn't care. However, he was annoyed by some people, particularly the person in front of him.
"HuMing, I heard about what happened this morning. Are you hurt?!"
SuLiu held breakfast and milk in her hands, nervously staring at HuMing and wanting to approach and check on him. However, HuMing raised his hand to stop her and said impatiently,
"I'm fine. You're worrying too much."
"Are you really okay?"
"I said I'm fine. Why are you so annoying?"
HuMing really wanted to find a hole to bury SuLiu. How did the original come to like such a person?
"I..."
SuLiu felt wronged. She was just concerned about HuMing.
She pouted and looked pitiful, causing passing students to feel sorry for her.
However, when they saw HuMing, their expressions changed. Of course, who wouldn't be scared after seeing HuMing break the boy's hand today?
"I've told you several times, SuLiu, that the past is the past. Stop bothering me!"
"But can't I pursue you?"
"Pursue me? Please, don't. Do you know who tried to kill me today? It was SunZhe. Even after he was caught, he believed I had harmed you. Your fans are overly exaggerated; I can't take it!"
"But I..."
SuLiu was about to explain when Han YunXi appeared out of nowhere.
With her hands on her hips, she widened her eyes and asked,
"SuLiu, why are you so annoying? My brother has already told you not to bother him, and you're still clinging to him?"
Personally, Han YunXi disliked SuLiu.
Previously, when HuMing caused a stir in school by pursuing SuLiu, SuLiu appeared to enjoy the attention and treated HuMing as a pawn, naturally making Han YunXi dislike this girl.
Now, when her admirer went crazy and tried to harm HuMing, Han YunXi's tolerance of SuLiu was pushed to its limit.
"I didn't ask anyone to go after HuMing!"
SuLiu explained tearfully, but Han YunXi wasn't buying it.
"Hmph, who cares about you?! Artificial, smelly bitch!"
Han YunXi snorted dissatisfiedly, intending to ask HuMing to leave together. However, HuMing had already left, and there was no trace of him anywhere.
......
The bell rang at noon, and HuMing arrived on the rooftop, yawning.
Usually, this place was tightly locked, and ordinary students could not open it at all.
However, HuMing was not ordinary. He easily pried open the lock and then sat on a nearby bench.
His classmates' stares made it difficult for him to sleep. He was already sensitive to other people's gazes. HuMing believed that if he remained in that classroom, he might become a national treasure.
The gentle sunlight streamed down from the sky.
HuMing yawned, thoroughly enjoying his lunch break. But then he heard footsteps coming up from the stairwell. He opened his eyes abruptly, his expression puzzled.
Usually, at this time, no one should come. How can someone get up here? Most importantly, he had locked the door!
HuMing hid around the corner, his gaze fixed on the doorway.
But when the figure appeared in HuMing's vision, his eyelids lifted slightly, and a smile crept onto his lips.
Ye QiuXue came to the rooftop as usual. However, she noticed that something was amiss. Although the door was securely locked, the padlock hanging on it was nowhere to be found!
'Did someone open this door?'
She furrowed her brows and cautiously opened the door. However, what greeted her was an empty space. She carefully looked around but didn't see anyone. Perhaps she was overthinking.
Ye QiuXue placed her lunchbox on her lap after smoothing out her skirt. She untied her ponytail, letting her silky black hair cascade down her shoulders like a waterfall.
Next, she removed her glasses, revealing her cold yet stunning face, and took a deep breath as if to expel all of the morning's stale air.
Just as she was about to pick up her chopsticks and begin eating her lunch, a sudden voice startled her so much that she shuddered, nearly slipping her lunchbox from her black stocking-clad legs to the ground.
"President, your lunch looks quite luxurious."
The voice caused Ye QiuXue to freeze.
Soon after, she noticed HuMing lying on top of the entrance, one hand supporting his head while lounging on the edge. His lips curved into a smile as if he were admiring beauty and scenery.
"HuMing?! What are you doing here? Don't you know students are not permitted on the rooftop?"
Feeling that her statement was incomplete, she added.
"Except for me!"
"You can't just make exceptions, president."
HuMing leaped down from above and landed effortlessly, and his movements made Ye QiuXue believe he had trained specifically for this.
After setting down her lunchbox, Ye QiuXue approached HuMing and asked in puzzlement,
"How did you open the door?"
"I used a lever to open."
HuMing's casual demeanor made Ye QiuXue feel unreal: Is this normal?
"Do you not think it's dangerous to say such things in front of the Discipline Committee?"
Ye QiuXue squinted her eyes and looked at HuMing with a dangerous expression.
