Transmigrated as the fake young master, I'll beat up the scumbags and b*tches-Chapter 347Vol. 1 - - Meeting

Han YunXi was momentarily stunned. The thing HuMing shoved into her hands caught her completely off guard. When she looked down at the oiled paper in her hands, she finally realized—HuMing had brought her a chicken leg!

She looked up at him in confusion.

"HuMing, why do you still have a chicken leg on you? Smuggled stash?"

"It’s a stash I saved just for you. Brought it out so you could have it."

The chicken leg was still warm in her hand, and something stirred deeply in Han YunXi’s heart.

She pressed her lips together, unwilling to let her emotions show.

She hadn’t expected HuMing to still be thinking of her. Judging by the warmth, he must have just reheated it not long ago.

Han YunXi sat down on a stone bench nearby, and HuMing took the seat beside her.

"HuMing, when did you learn how to butcher chickens? You never used to do this kind of stuff at home."

"You have to learn eventually. If I didn’t know anything, I wouldn’t be sitting here chatting with you right now."

It was said lightly, but Han YunXi could feel the weight behind his words.

She tore off a chunk of meat from the drumstick and held it out to HuMing, wanting him to eat.

But HuMing shook his head, intending to refuse. He had just opened his mouth to speak when, in the next moment, Han YunXi’s hand moved in and stuffed the meat into his mouth.

She didn’t care whether he wanted to eat or not—she simply made him eat it.

Satisfied after accomplishing this "mission," Han YunXi finally began eating her own drumstick.

The moon hanging above them was full and round, and for some reason, HuMing felt at peace.

Here, away from the city, he could forget its troubles and quietly enjoy the serenity.

The sky over the city was nothing but a pane of black glass, while the countryside sky was speckled with countless stars.

"HuMing, I don’t really see you as my older brother anymore."

Han YunXi suddenly spoke, catching HuMing completely off guard.

He didn’t understand why she would say such a thing. Was she trying to draw a line between them? Then again, it wouldn’t be surprising—after all, when he was dealing with Han ShuYi, he had used her. She probably couldn’t accept that.

"I get it. It makes sense you were angry that day at dinner."

"What are you talking about, HuMing?" Han YunXi frowned. From the moment he spoke, she knew he had misunderstood something. "What does that have to do with me being mad?"

"Weren’t you angry because I used you to deal with Han ShuYi? I thought… I thought that’s what you’d been holding on to."

HuMing scratched his head awkwardly.

His emotional range had grown noticeably broader lately—he was practically a normal person now.

Han YunXi took a deep breath. She hadn’t expected HuMing to be stuck on that matter for so long.

She set the chicken leg aside and looked at him seriously. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"I wasn’t mad that you used me. I was mad that you didn’t care about your own safety. I didn’t know you’d gone through all that after joining the Gu family. You could’ve said no to them."

To her, HuMing’s safety should’ve been the priority.
