BXBX NOVEL Chapter 4 - Fiancee
With a playful grin, HuMing\'s lips quirked slightly, raising his eyebrows and said,
"President, I see that you are always frowning. It won\'t be long before you turn into an old lady!"
"...Are you looking for death?!"
Before she could finish, HuMing had already escaped back to his classroom.
After seeing his retreating self, Ye QiuXue\'s expression returned to her usual calmness. She turned around and headed towards the monitoring room.
...
It was unclear what the outcome was, but no one came and apologized to him before the morning break.
HuMing, sitting at the back of the classroom, yawned, his expression somewhat lazy.
He has already figured out his relations in school; all that\'s left is for things to develop.
As for Han ShuYi\'s actions, HuMing took no regard for them.
After all, even if he were to leave the Han family, it wouldn\'t affect him much.
"Fake Young Master, huh... This identity is quite interesting."
Just as HuMing was about to lie down, his shoulder was tapped.
From the corner of his eye, he saw a girl standing there.
She was wearing a standard school uniform. Her well-proportioned figure was enviable, especially her fair, long legs.
However, the length of her hair hid half of her face, and she carried a nervous expression.
"H-HuMing, I made lunch for you. Do you want to eat?"
Although the girl looked timid, she dared to be beside him despite his tarnished reputation!
Naturally, HuMing was aware of her identity. With one hand, he supported his chin, gazing at her, and said.
"Don\'t you know that I\'m not the Young Master anymore? Why are you still here?"
"I-I\'m not afraid because you\'re my fiancé."
Gathering her courage, she boldly spoke these words to HuMing.
A gust of wind blew, lifting her long hair and revealing a red mark on half her face!
That horrifying sight completely ruined her original beauty. Seeing her face always made people hesitate, no matter how outstanding her figure was.
Nevertheless, HuMing remained calm towards her.
But according to the original host\'s memory, he treated this fiancée more like a pet.
After all, when the original host saw the girl always trying to hide her face, driven by curiosity, he lifted her hair, only to be shocked. Upon saying this, the girl\'s eyes turned red, and she kept asking tearfully,
"Am I very ugly?"
And at that moment, the former daring original host panicked.
Under irrational circumstances, he answered against his conscience.
"You\'re really beautiful, really pretty."
And so, this girl has been following HuMing ever since.
Looking at how timid the girl was before him, HuMing felt very calm inside.
Because of how coldly others treated her, his fiancée was weak in personality and lacked confidence.
And because of such personality, she\'s easily swayed by others.
For example, Han ShuYi.
In the future, she would betray HuMing because of Han ShuYi.
HuMing\'s identity, Han ShuYi\'s fake kindness, and her gradually restored self-confidence are the gears of the vehicle that would take him to his doom.
Thinking of this, HuMing took the lunch box from her hand and calmly said,
"I\'m your fiancé? LiYue, I\'m not your fiancé. It\'s Han ShuYi who you should marry."
"I-I won\'t do that! Please believe me!"
LiYue spoke in a somewhat anxious tone. She felt that HuMing\'s attitude towards her today was unusual.
Seeing how nervous she was, HuMing did not make any move.
He quickly finished the food in the lunch box and returned it to LiYue.
"LiYue, I\'m not as good as you think. Can\'t you see the reason why so many people hate me?"
"But... You are good to me."
[Even so, you betrayed HuMing in the end, didn\'t you?]
So-called vows are merely words of consolation to oneself.
HuMing never believed such things. He only believed what he had in front of him.
He lay back on the table again, ignoring LiYue.
LiYue\'s expression fell. She didn\'t know why HuMing had suddenly started treating her this way.
She dejectedly took her lunch box and walked away.
She kept her head down on the way, afraid to make eye contact with others.
Her classmates liked to call her an ugly monster. It was only HuMing who would call her by name and treat her normally.
She is also HuMing\'s fiancée. If he didn\'t detest her, she would marry HuMing in the future.
Thinking so, she felt a little better.
"Hm? Are you LiYue?"
A voice came from the side of her ears, surprising her!
LiYue looked up in surprise. It was the first time someone other than HuMing had called her by her name.
Only to see a handsome and gentle-looking boy standing in front of her.
He wore a white shirt, shining brightly like the male lead straight from a novel.
"You are?"
"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Han. I\'m Han ShuYi."
"Han ShuYi... The Young Master that the Han Family has found back?!"
For a moment, LiYue was stunned.
She had heard from her father that the Han Family had found the real Young Master, but she wasn\'t interested.
But when her father asked if she wanted to change the engagement, she nervously refused.
Upon seeing the young man, her heart wavered slightly, but she quickly calmed it down.
"We have never met."
"But have heard much from my mother. She told me that you are a very lovely girl. But it seems that she\'s not right."
"I\'m too ugly, right..."
Filled with self-pity, LiYue dropped her head.
But quickly, Han ShuYi\'s voice sounded again.
"You\'re beautiful. Even with that birthmark, some things can\'t be hidden. I think you ought to be more self-assured and open up.
It was the first time such words were spoken to her.
But thinking back on how HuMing treated her earlier, she gritted her teeth and ran away without looking back.
...
Han ShuYi watched her running figure, his gentle smile gradually fading, replaced by a gloomy expression.
He thought winning over LiYue would be easy, but he didn\'t expect that hideous girl to be so cautious!
[Looks like I have to find another way.]
He stood in the corridor, thinking, not noticing a figure standing at a corner behind him since the beginning.
