That idiot---someone who always seemed so clueless---had played him for a complete fool!

Unable to accept the truth, Lee Tian slammed his fist down on the table, making the objects on it shudder. His breaths came heavy and labored, and his eyes were bloodshot with rage.

He\'s going to kill HuMing---Kill that bastard!

Meanwhile, HuMing watched Lee Tian\'s impotent fury on his phone, savoring every moment. Though Lee Tian tried to look threatening, he honestly didn\'t amount to much.

The next part of the script was likely that Lee Tian would try to have him kidnapped. But until then, he had no chance of finding him.

As the time dragged on, Lee Tian would get desperate, just like a cornered dog. And as everyone knows, a cornered dog always bites.

A mocking smile played across HuMing\'s face, his eyes brimming with ridicule.

His thoughts got intruptted when a knock sounded at his door. When he opened it, he found Kang Xin standing before him.

"Young Master, I\'ve prepared everything you asked for."

"Good. If word of my \'death\' gets out, leave a note and then leave the Han family."

"Young Master, are you sure they won\'t find us?"

"Don\'t worry. They\'ve never seen your real face, and as for me, you don\'t need to worry."

This wasn\'t his first time with this sort of thing; forging identities was child\'s play.

This time, though, he\'d give Han ShuYi quite the fright. Not that he\'d let him off too easily, of course.

...

For several days, HuMing remained out of sight.

Ye QiuXue found herself distracted in class. Tomorrow was the monthly exam---was HuMing seriously planning to skip it?

He\'d even promised her that he would get a good score, was he going to break his word?

Ye QiuXue had sent him numerous messages, but that guy was either up to something or completely ignored her, not even sending back a single reply.

This left Ye QiuXue feeling a bit dispirited.

She\'d thought HuMing was someone who kept his promises. But after what happened, he hadn\'t even assured her of his safety. Did he think their bond meant nothing?

If that was the case, then why had he gone out of his way to help her so many times?

Ye QiuXue buried her head in her arms, lying on her bed with her head tilted to the side.

The night outside was growing darker, and the once-noisy apartment building slowly fell silent.

"Ding-dong."

The sudden sound of her doorbell made Ye QiuXue jump up from her bed.

Who could possibly be visiting this late at night?

Barefoot, she padded over to the door. Without a peephole, she couldn\'t see who was outside.

"Is someone there?" she asked softly, but there was no reply.

Despite her usual cold demeanor, living alone in this kind of place and facing something like this was unnerving.

The doorbell rang again. This time, Ye QiuXue grabbed a kitchen knife and took a cautious stance behind the dining table.

Meanwhile, she quickly sent a message to HuMing.

Ye QiuXue: [HuMing, someone\'s ringing my doorbell over and over. Hurry and come over!]

Ye QiuXue: [If you don\'t answer me soon, I\'m seriously ending our friendship! I mean it!]

Biting her lip, she alternated between glancing at her phone and staring at the door, worried someone might break in.

The wall clock ticked slowly, its hands moving steadily forward. At exactly midnight, the clock chimed with a resonant "dong...dong...dong."

Just then, her phone screen suddenly lit up with a new message.

HuMing: [Is it possible that the person outside is me?]

Seeing this message, Ye QiuXue, knife in hand, marched to the door and opened it. And there he was---HuMing, the guy she hadn\'t seen in ages.

He looked exactly the same as she remembered.

Only HuMing\'s expression turned startled as his eyes landed on the knife in her hand, a wave of exasperation flashing across his face.

"Ye QiuXue, seriously? Holding a kitchen knife in the middle of the night---what is this, cosplay?"

"It\'s the middle of the night, and someone\'s ringing my doorbell---I can bring a knife if I want!"

Ye QiuXue defended herself, her tone firm. As she looked him over, confirming he seemed perfectly fine, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But as she remembered how he\'d barely replied to her messages lately, her face hardened in annoyance.

"HuMing, why haven\'t you been answering my messages?"

"Oh, that." HuMing\'s expression didn\'t change a bit as he smoothly lied, "Some stuff happened at home, so I haven\'t really been on my phone."

Ye QiuXue narrowed her eyes, clearly doubting his excuse.

"Then tell me---what exactly happened that day?"

Pouring him a glass of water, Ye QiuXue listened as HuMing explained everything that had gone down recently.

Yes, everything.

HuMing didn\'t plan on hiding anything from Ye QiuXue. To him, she was someone he could trust.

Trust was rare, but he was willing to extend it to her.

As HuMing talked, Ye QiuXue\'s eyes grew wider, and her mouth dropped open, astonishment etched across her face as each revelation shattered another of her assumptions.

Once he finished, she could only sum it up with one phrase: "Rich people circle is... something else."

"Yeah, it really is. But the best part is, I\'m not actually that couple\'s son."

"But... doesn\'t that mean you might never find your real parents?"

"It doesn\'t bother me. Honestly, I\'m fine with things as they are. Life with the Han family has been pretty good. It\'s just that things are a bit tricky right now, so I can\'t leave the house much."

"True. If what you said is right, Lee Tian really might go to extreme lengths. No wonder Li Yue hasn\'t shown up to school lately---so that\'s why."

Ye QiuXue felt indifferent toward Li Yue, but these revelations were certainly harsh.

She hoped Li Yue could pull through.

"HuMing, did you sneak out to come here?"

"Yeah. YunXi said you\'d practically blown up my phone, and when I turned it on, it froze from all the notifications. If people didn\'t know, they might think you\'re my simp!"

"Die!"

Ye QiuXue gritted her teeth, grabbing a pillow and hurling it at him with all her might.

HuMing curled up, laughing as he tried to dodge.

Hands on her hips, Ye QiuXue\'s face finally broke into a smile. She could feel the heavy weight inside her lifting. Seeing HuMing safe and sound was all that mattered.

"Hey, shouldn\'t you be heading back now?"

"Huh? I came all this way, and you\'re just sending me off? No way, make me a midnight snack!"

"Eating this late? You\'ll get fat!"

Ye QiuXue shot him a glare but turned and headed to the kitchen.

"What do you want?"

"That hundred-point from last time will do!"
