Transmigrated as the fake young master, I'll beat up the scumbags and b*tches

After spending time on the arcade games, the fifty tokens were quickly used up.

In the end, Ye QiuXue used the last few coins on the whack-a-mole game.

Whether it was to relieve stress or not, Ye QiuXue held the mallet in both hands and slammed it down with great force as she played.

HuMing watched her, wondering who exactly she was imagining these moles to be.

Hopefully, it wasn't him...

A few minutes later, Ye QiuXue let out a long breath, her face radiating satisfaction.

She stretched, unintentionally showing off her graceful figure.

"Not going to keep playing?"

HuMing was about to pull out his phone, but Ye QiuXue placed her hand over his pocket, stopping him.

"That's enough! We can't spend any more! Using fifty yuan was already excessive!"

"You're so cheap. You'll definitely be a budget-conscious wife one day."

HuMing didn't push the issue. In his mind, today's trip was mainly to help Ye QiuXue relieve some stress. She hadn't been to places like this much before, so it was good for her to experience it.

Hearing HuMing's comment, Ye QiuXue's cheeks flushed slightly, but she still stubbornly replied, "It's called managing money wisely. Even for fun, there should be limits. If you spend too recklessly, the money will be gone before you know it!"

"Okay, okay, whatever you say!"

The two walked out of the mall side by side, HuMing's hands tucked into his pockets as he looked up at the slowly setting sun, realizing it was getting late.

"We should come back here sometime," HuMing suggested.

But Ye QiuXue shook her head. "No, I'm terrible at these games. It's too expensive for me. I'd rather watch you play."

"What's the fun in that? Games are only fun when you play together."

HuMing looked at Ye QiuXue, and she met his gaze, both of them smiling at the same time.

Ye QiuXue gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as she glanced at HuMing. Suddenly, she realized how attentive he had been to her mood all day. Maybe, just maybe, if she asked him for something, would he agree to anything?

She clasped her hands behind her back and leaned in closer to HuMing.

"HuMing, will you walk me home?"

"Of course."

As they walked toward Ye QiuXue's home, they chatted about everyday things.

"HuMing, next semester, I won't be at school anymore."

Ye QiuXue had been thinking about it for a long time, and she finally said it. She had wanted to tell HuMing earlier today, but they had gotten so caught up in their fun that she temporarily forgot.

Under the setting sun, their shadows stretched long behind them as they walked side by side, HuMing's hands behind his back.

Ye QiuXue curiously observed HuMing, inexplicably wanting to know what kind of expression he was wearing.

However, HuMing's face remained calm, as if he wasn't particularly affected by the news.

This left Ye QiuXue feeling a bit disappointed. She had expected him to be more surprised.

"Not at school? Is it because you're going to study somewhere else?"

In truth, HuMing wasn't surprised at all. In the plot, it was during Ye QiuXue's absence that Han ShuYi successfully became the student council president, and from there, his life took off like a rocket.

It was also during this time that Han ShuYi met Xia XiaoXi and fell for her.

Ye QiuXue was a bit taken aback by HuMing's response.

She hadn't expected him to figure it out so easily.

"Did you guess that?"

"Yeah, just a guess. Your grades are so good that if they didn't send you to the capital for further studies, I'd start to wonder if the city officials were out of their minds. Besides, this is more like a prestigious opportunity for you."

HuMing could understand the city's decision.

Students like Ye QiuXue, with her potential, should be given the chance to study in the capital. Exposing her to real geniuses there would ensure that she wouldn't become complacent with her current achievements.

"It's just... I haven't decided if I'll be gone for a semester or a whole year," Ye QiuXue admitted.

The city had promised to cover her living expenses while she was away. However, this also meant she couldn't visit her grandmother in the countryside as often.

It was a difficult choice for her.

And then, there was HuMing. His grades had just started to improve. If she left and he slacked off again, falling back into his old habits, wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?

At this thought, Ye QiuXue stopped walking. She turned to look seriously at HuMing and said,

"HuMing, even if I go to the capital, you have to keep studying hard, understand?"

"Got it."

"I'm serious!"

"Do you want me to write a pledge and seal it with a fingerprint?" HuMing asked, looking somewhat helpless.

To his surprise, Ye QiuXue nodded, agreeing with the idea.

"What?! You're not serious, are you?"

"Of course I am! You've finally turned over a new leaf, HuMing. You can't give up so easily!"

Ye QiuXue truly hoped that HuMing would continue to better himself, even though he was already much improved compared to before.

HuMing slowly lifted his head, his eyes blinking slightly.

For the future, he didn't have many concrete plans.

He had thought through everything up to the point of leaving the Han family, but what about after that?

He had considered just taking Kang Xin and disappearing. But then, there were still many people here he was familiar with. Could he really just walk away and leave them behind?

And what about Han ShuYi? That guy had been against him for so long. Could he just let it go?

Obviously not. That wouldn't be his style.

After that incident, how would he even face Ye QiuXue?

Would she be angry with him?

There was no way HuMing could tell her about his plans. She would never agree to them.

She was just a regular smart girl---how could she know what he had been through? HuMing didn't want to show her his darker side, nor did he want to drag her down with him. That would be unfair.

"Ye QiuXue, if one day you found out that I had lied to you, would you be mad?"

"Are you crazy? Of course, I'd be mad!"

Ye QiuXue rolled her eyes at him. But then, after a moment, she added,

"How long I stay mad depends on how serious the lie is!"

HuMing fell silent. He continued walking by her side as they headed towards the sunset.

...

"I saw him. He's walking home with a girl."

"I know what you mean. I'll catch him."

Inside a parked car, a man wearing sunglasses stared intently at HuMing and Ye QiuXue walking along the sidewalk.

His expression was serious, his brow furrowed with tension.

This was critical to his future. If HuMing released those photos, both he and Yu YueLuo would be finished.

The man was none other than Tang De, Yu YueLuo's lover.

After receiving a call from Yu YueLuo earlier that morning, Tang De knew that this situation wouldn't be simple.

But what he hadn't anticipated was that the instigator behind all of this would be the former "useless young master" of the Han family!

'This time, I'll teach him a lesson!'

Tang De's eyes narrowed as he focused on the two figures ahead.

Suddenly, HuMing whipped around, staring directly at him.

Tang De's heart skipped a beat, and his breath hitched.

'Did he notice me?'
