23 Moving Forces (1/2)
In the library, Huang Feifei carefully moved past the bookshelves. Her eyes were glued to the teenage boy reading at the table.
The afternoon sunlight poured through the floor to ceiling windows, casting a golden glow on his brown hair. With his tall broad frame and clean outfit, he looked like a K-pop star.
”Hello,” Huang Feifei gently greeted.
The boy didn't look up from his book. ”Your mock exam is done?”
Huang Feifei's heart burst with happiness. This was the first time Zhao Ming asked about her how she was doing!
”Yes!” She sat next to him. ”Our scores just came out. I didn't do so well. Maybe we can study together? I would learn a lot from your guidance.” She gave him her best pleading eyes.
”Who was the top in your class?”
Huang Feifei's heart sunk. ”It was a girl called Zhao Hana. You know, the one from the rumors.” She grabbed his arm. ”She did score high, but I'm sure you can beat her. She must have used some unscrupulous means.”
Huang Feifei continued to ramble on.
Unbeknownst to her, the boy's attention was on something else. Zhao Ming's finger tapped the edge of the book.
Zhao Hana. Interesting.

He recalled her match with Song Lin. The beautiful girl stood amidst the flames, a wild sparkle in her eyes. He had watched from the window as her power annihilated the opponent.
So unique from other girls. Even Renae Cao wouldn't hold a candle to her. He previously considered targeting the Cao girl, but it seemed like her position in her family was dwindling. He had no use for a pawn that would bring future risks.
The idiot blabbering beside him was even more useless. He only kept her because she would do his bidding unconditionally. The starstruck look she gave him was nauseating.
But the Hana girl was different.
Powerful. Intelligent. Strong personality. A mysterious background, likely powerful.
A girl fit to walk beside him.
A small indiscernible smile graced his lips as he pondered.

”Yo, I heard you met a girl this time.” A teenager leaned against the wall, eyes trained on his older brother who was lying against the tree. ”You sent out your private army just to locate her. Should I be expecting to become a brother-in-law soon?”
He smiled teasingly.
The young man opened his eyes, revealing dark blue eyes. ”She suppressed the flame poison.”
”What!” The teenager's eyes widened in shock. ”That's big news. I have to tell mom.”
