Transmigrated as the fake young master, I'll beat up the scumbags and b*tches - Vol. 1 - Chapter 64 - Equipment room

HuMing’s words made LiYue’s body shiver, and her eyes flashed with an expression of disbelief.

In the past, HuMing HuMing would never have said such things to her, but now his gaze lacked the kindness and concern it once held.

LiYue couldn’t help but feel like she was insignificant in his eyes. How could their deep-rooted friendship be disregarded so easily?

LiYue found herself overcome with a sudden wave of embarrassment.

She peaked at HuMing’s hand as it clasped Ye QiuXue’s wrist. For some reason, she found it strangely irritating.

She bit her lip, her expression looking somewhat sad.

But HuMing ignored her demeanor and continued speaking,

“If you have something to say, hurry up. I’m busy.”

HuMing’s tone was tinged with impatience, clearly showing his genuine irritation towards LiYue.

Initially, he thought LiYue had been deceived by Han ShuYi. But, with time, it became evident that her actions were driven by her intentions, so he began seeing her as a stranger.

And now she was trying to act pitiful in front of him? What is this childish playacting?

Upon hearing HuMing’s words, LiYue appeared to stumble again, returning to her previous state of self-doubt. She dared not raise her head and found it hard to meet HuMing’s eyes.

“I… I want to say… I’m sorry!”Ne/w novel chapt𝒆rs are p/u/blished on no/vel(/bin(.)c/o/m

“That’s all? If you’re done, I’ll be leaving then.”

Ignoring LiYue’s apologetic bow, HuMing took Ye QiuXue’s hand and headed towards the rooftop.

LiYue sensed the growing distance between herself and the person

before her. She slumped against the nearby railing, her complexion drained of color.

She didn’t know when, but she had already grown further apart from HuMing.

…

After what seemed like an endless walk, HuMing finally stopped upon reaching the rooftop.

However, as he turned to face the person behind him, he noticed Ye QiuXue’s intense gaze on the wrist he had gripped for quite some time. She silently looked at HuMing as if conveying something without words.

Sensing that something was off, HuMing quickly let go of her wrist with an awkward smile.

“Sorry about that, President. I got a bit carried away just now.”

Ye QiuXue could still feel the lingering warmth from HuMing’s grip. He had taken hold of her wrist on impulse, and in that instant, she was surprised by his decision.

This guy had the nerve to grasp her wrist in front of others. It appeared that he still needed more tests to do.

She looked at HuMing, who wore a self-satisfied grin, yet inexplicably, she couldn’t muster any anger.

However, she could somewhat understand HuMing’s feelings.

After all, LiYue canceled her engagement with HuMing, and from what classmates are saying, it seems that LiYue’s family had planned to make that announcement publicly.

If HuMing wasn’t angry at all, Ye QiuXue would seriously question his sanity.

“Forget it. Start doing your test.”

Ye QiuXue asked HuMing to do his test papers, while she sat beside him to review some documents.

They sat next to each other, savoring the gentle summer wind as they whiled away the quiet afternoon.

…

While they still intended to revisit the orphanage, HuMing proposed saving the visit for their next trip. After all, every time they went, it distracted the children and affected their studies, which was not good for them.

Ye QiuXue was surprised by HuMing’s matureness. His decision was indeed undeniably wise.

In addition, she had been busy lately, so if HuMing had advised her against going, they wouldn’t.

However, she asked HuMing to provide her with a list of items in the evening to see if any supplies she could obtain were available from the student council.

She was alone in the student council office, reviewing documents and marking all the details with a pen, preparing to address the matters at the upcoming meeting.

The clock on the wall ticked slowly while the fading twilight outside gradually transformed into the darkness of night.

After a while, Ye QiuXue finally set aside her pen, sighed, and stretched her tired muscles.

At that moment, her flawless physique completely stretched out, yet regrettably, no one was present to witness it.

She lazily looked outside and, upon seeing the nightfall, was slightly startled. She quickly stood up and gathered her belongings, stowing them away in her bag.

She thought it was still early, but to her surprise, it was already seven o’clock!

Previously, at this time, the security guard was usually on patrol. Given that she hadn’t turned off the lights, why didn’t he come up to check?

Ye QiuXue massaged her temples to relieve her exhaustion briefly.

She switched off the lights, double-checked if the door was firmly closed, and then went to the school gate.

The path to the gate was lengthy, and she had to pass through the sports field. Noticing that no one was around, Ye QiuXue began to hum a little tune.

Her head bobbed along with the rhythm, and her ponytail gracefully swung back and forth. If it weren’t for the security cameras, she might have even let loose and danced a little!

Throughout the years, Ye QiuXue has faced considerable pressure. To avoid being looked down upon, she tirelessly worked on self-improvement, sacrificing her hobbies while at it.

Every child has dreams, no matter who they are. Nevertheless, the harsh reality frequently leads them to abandon their pursuits prematurely.

As Ye QiuXue hummed her tune, she continued towards the school gate.

Suddenly, a noise from afar caught her attention—the sound of something hitting the ground.

Ye QiuXue instinctively looked in that direction and noticed that the light was on in the equipment room of the sports field. The door, which should have been closed, was open.

She furrowed her brow, perplexed by the situation. Typically, there was always someone in charge of the equipment room, so it’s rather odd that the door was left open today. It appeared as though someone had forgotten to close it.

Ye QiuXue sighed tiredly and approached the equipment room, muttering under her breath.

“How difficult is it to finish up properly? Is it that hard to turn off a light or close a door?”

As she walked, her stomach let out a low growl. She was hungry.

After a long day of busy work, she was famished. However, during lunch, HuMing offered her a piece of chocolate as a gesture of apology and promised a substantial reward the next day.

Recalling his playful demeanor, Ye QiuXue couldn’t help but smile as she walked.

It was difficult to fathom how she always seemed amused by him whenever they were in each other’s company.

Usually, she maintained a composed demeanor and a serious face in the presence of others. However, when it came to HuMing, she couldn’t help but lower her defenses.

“I can’t let that guy lead me by the nose around!”

Ye QiuXue let out a soft snort, although a subtle smile still lingered on her face.

She entered the equipment room and discovered the neatly arranged equipment strewn chaotically across the floor as if someone had intentionally caused havoc!

Her grin slowly disappeared, and her face became more solemn.

Something didn’t seem right to her. Wasn’t the timing too coincidental?

Just as she was thinking this, the door behind her slammed shut!

The light that had been on went out instantly, with the tungsten filament struggling to emit its last bit of light before finally extinguishing.

‘It’s a setup!’

Ye QiuXue narrowed her eyes and fixed her gaze on the closed door!
