Vol. 1 - Chapter 11 - Glaring exclamation mark
"Han HuMing!"
As they turned around, a girl, fuming, strode toward them.
HuMing immediately recognized her, but his eyes grew impatient upon seeing her.
Next to HuMing, LiYue also recognized her.
She silently stepped back behind HuMing, appearing reluctant to meet that person.
The girl approached HuMing and posed her question before he could speak.
"Han HuMing, did you delete SuLiu's contact?!"
LiYue's hidden face became even more self-conscious upon hearing that familiar name.
The whole school knew HuMing had been pursuing SuLiu for almost half a year, even spending money only to see her smile.
As the School Belle, she had many other admirers besides HuMing. However, she never expressed her feelings for anyone, yet she was kind to many.
No one could fathom what she was truly thinking.
The girl standing in front of HuMing was SuLiu's close friend, Yin XiaoXiao.
The original HuMing pursued the School Belle for half a year. She kept him at a distance with an ambiguous attitude, stringing him along for a long time. But still, he was captivated by her, even willing to do things that were unfathomable to others for her.
Frankly, SuLiu's relationship significantly impacted the ultimate result of the original HuMing.
After HuMing transmigrated here, he did indeed talk to SuLiu.
From their conversation, HuMing deeply understood that this girl was brilliant and had high emotional intelligence.
Her love for being in the spotlight gave her the power to influence her admirers through sophisticated gaslighting techniques.
She was truly exceptional. Wheeling the original HuMing by her strengths, she made him devote himself entirely to her. This whole scenario made him feel repulsive.
From a corner behind Yin XiaoXiao, HuMing saw the girl the original had pursued for so long.
She stood at an impressive height, with lustrous hair cascading down her back in elegant waves. Her snow-white, flawless skin boasted her beautiful curves.
Her face had light make-up caressing her delicate eyebrows and bright, captivating eyes. Her features were exquisitely refined, with her cherry-like lips looking incredibly moist.
It was no wonder the original was so devoted to her.
But HuMing quietly withdrew his gaze, looked at Yin XiaoXiao before him, and calmly said,
"So what if I deleted it?"
Hearing these words, Yin XiaoXiao exploded on the spot!
In the past, Hu Ming was extremely respectful to her to find news about SuLiu.
Why did his attitude change suddenly?
Not only did he delete her contact, but he also deleted SuLiu's.
Initially, HuMing offered her many benefits for this contact information.
He even spent money to buy her numerous cosmetics!
LiYue, standing behind HuMing, paused in surprise as she looked at the boy before her.
HuMing always spoke highly of SuLiu in front of her. Everyone knows how much he likes SuLiu.
But he was now saying that he deleted SuLiu's contact!
"Deleted! Who allowed you to delete SuLiu's contact? Do you know how upset SuLiu is because of this?"
Yin XiaoXiao was on the verge of continue speaking, but SuLiu's words came to mind. As she glanced at HuMing, a sudden sense of pride washed over her.
"Han HuMing, SuLiu is aware that you're not a member of the Han family, but she didn't distance herself from you because of it. Consider it on your own. Where else will you come across a great girl like her? Are you simply going to give up like this?"
"She's not my girlfriend. Why should I care?"
HuMing's blunt words left Yin XiaoXiao at a loss for words. She suddenly realized the former fool had changed.
The once flattering boy now stood calmly before her, with no desire to seek her favor.
For a moment, she burned with anger. She pointed at Hu Ming and angrily scolded him!
"Han HuMing, you will regret this! There are plenty of people pursuing SuLiu. You're nothing!"
"Why does SuLiu sound like a prostitute coming from your mouth, waiting for people to line up?"
"You!"
Yin XiaoXiao was on the verge of fainting with anger. She gritted her teeth, not knowing how to retort to HuMing.
"Han HuMing, You'll regret it!"
"You can leave if you have finished speaking," said HuMing, a faint smile on his face, full of mockery.
Yin XiaoXiao had no choice but to leave angrily.
Only HuMing and LiYue remained in the pavilion.
LiYue reached out and tugged on HuMing's sleeve, timidly asking.
"HuMing, did you really delete SuLiu's contact?"
"Yeah, what's the big deal? It's just a contact."
It seemed like everyone believed he couldn't have done such a thing. Otherwise, Li Yue wouldn't have reacted like that.
"But didn't you pursue SuLiu for a long time? She will be really angry if you do this."
LiYue appeared worried but quickly felt relieved. After all, she didn't want to see HuMing and SuLiu together!
"If she's angry, let her be. It doesn't concern me. There are plenty of people who are unhappy with me, and one more person doesn't make a difference."
LiYue stared blankly at HuMing, unsure what to say, and marveled at his frankness.
...
SuLiu sat quietly in her seat with many delicate little gifts on her desk that looked carefully chosen.
However, SuLiu was not focused.
She stared blankly out the window, her mind filled with thoughts of HuMing.
Upon learning HuMing's response from her friend, she was shocked. She knew the old HuMing too well.
No matter how she treated him, as long as she maintained a delicate balance and occasionally showed kindness, he would continue to harbor hopes and be devoted to her wholeheartedly.
He was what people called a "Simp".
However, since their last conversation, she hasn't received any messages from Hu Ming.
At first, she found it strange.
However, after learning that Hu Ming was not actually from the Han family, her interest in him plummeted instantly.
But as time passed, she yearned for HuMing's gentle and thoughtful nature, something others couldn't imitate.
So, she secretly posted a moment on her social media:
"Your gentleness." The accompanying picture showed a hand holding the moon. Soon, many comments showed concern and greetings, but none from HuMing.
Was it because HuMing felt inferior due to his new identity or because she hadn't given him hope in so long that he felt she was out of reach and thus gave up?
Regardless of the reason, she didn't want HuMing to give up.
Some "Simps" couldn't persist for more than a few days before giving up, and some were all talk and no results. But HuMing was a true high-quality "Simp."
Day after day for over six months, unwavering and with a steadfast heart, selflessly giving without expecting anything in return. Where else could she find such a pushover?
That's why she took the initiative to message Hu Ming. But what shocked her the most was the reply she received.
It was just a simple, glaring exclamation mark!
