C10 The Timing of the Encounter Was Not Quite Right

On Saturday morning, Hua Ming woke up at seven o'clock. When he walked out of his small room to wash up, his mother was tidying up the flowers in the yard, wrapping them into a small bouquet of bright red roses.

Hua Ming's mother, who was carefully placing the flowers on a somewhat old tricycle, exclaimed when she saw Hua Ming getting up.

"Ming Ming, you're up. Don't you have classes today? Why don't you sleep for a while longer?"

Hua Ming squeezed some toothpaste onto his toothbrush and put it in his mouth. He ran over to his mother's flower cart and mumbled, "Mom, I have an appointment with my classmates today at the library in the city, so I won't go to the florist to help you. What do you think?"

"Classmate?"

Hua Ming's mother wiped her hands that were stained with dew and looked at him cautiously.

"Classmate, are you coming with me?"

Hua Ming spat out the foam in his mouth and answered clearly, "Yes, my deskmate!"

He knew what his mother was worried about. He also knew that his mother wanted him to spend more time with others and not be alone.

Ever since Hua Ming went to that aristocratic school, his mother had always been worried that he would feel inferior because of his family's situation. Over time, he would suffer from a certain degree of injury in his heart, which was the worst thing about going to that school. She hoped that Hua Ming would make some friends and not be so introverted. Furthermore, if he had more friends, they would be at ease at home.

"Alright, alright, alright. Go, go. Mom's shop is not busy. Talk to your classmates more often and be polite, understand?"

Hua Ming's mother was obviously very happy.

Hua Ming did not dare to look straight at her and replied guiltily, "Alright."

He would not tell her that he was not going to the library at all, but to earn money to teach.

He could not let his mother know about this, or else she would not let him go no matter what.

It was already past eight o'clock when Hua Ming packed up and went out. According to the address Wang Ge gave him, it took him almost thirty minutes to take the bus.

Hua Ming knew the place. It was a relatively good neighborhood in the city and the housing prices there were outrageously expensive.

Wang Ge was already waiting there. When he saw Hua Ming, he waved at him and Hua Ming walked over quickly.

"The time is just right. It's 8: 45. I've already made an agreement with Uncle Li. We'll be there around nine o'clock. Let's go."

Hua Ming nodded and followed behind Wang Ge. To be honest, he was a little nervous. After all, this was the first time he came out to face such a situation.

Wang Ge claimed that Uncle Li's house was a two-story Western-style building. In this expensive place, he could already be considered very rich.

After Wang Ge and Hua Ming entered, Uncle Li was not around and only had a nanny.

The nanny greeted them with a smile.

"Master has something to do. He said he trusts Mr. Wang's son. There is no need to look at him anymore. If he comes, he can finish the lessons. If he is well, we can continue next time."

Wang Ge smiled: "Uncle Li, do you trust me that much? Haha, this young master is quite charming. Thank you, Aunt Su."

Aunt Su waved her hand, "Little Yun is up there. You guys can go up. She's painting in the studio."

Wang Ge signaled Hua Ming to follow them and the two of them walked towards the studio. During this time, Wang Ge whispered to Hua Ming mysteriously, "This sister's personality is a little unusual. Don't mind her. Just do what you have to do and don't pay too much attention to her, understand?"

Hua Ming nodded in confusion.

What's so unusual about it?

In the quiet studio, Lee Yunyun was drawing with her head down. The drawing board was dark, and she could not make out what she was drawing. Her small hand was still holding the paintbrush, and the drawing board was getting darker and darker. She seemed to be pleased with her work and smiled. Wang Ge, who was behind him, shivered in fear. He turned his head to look at Hua Ming. He thought he would see Hua Ming's frightened big eyes, but he did not expect Hua Ming to be looking at the black painting curiously, as if he was interested in it.

He stared at Hua Ming in horror again. Could it be that he was the special one? Why were these two people's brain nerves different from his?!

Wang Ge coughed lightly, "Yunyun, the home tutor I found for you is here. Your father told you about it. Do you remember?"

Lee Yunyun slowly turned her head when she heard the voice. It was an exquisite little face, as cute as a doll. She blinked her big eyes that were as big as Hua Ming's a few times. Suddenly, she stood up, ran over, grabbed Hua Ming's hand, and pulled him to the side of her painting. She pointed at Hua Ming and then pointed at the painting. Her eyes were filled with expectation as she waited for Hua Ming to give him an evaluation.

Hua Ming studied the painting carefully. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He looked Lee Yunyun in the eye and said, "The black cat is lying in the water."

Lee Yunyun's eyes lit up as well. She nodded her head vigorously and tightened her grip on Hua Ming's hand. She seemed to like Hua Ming very much.

Wang Ge, who was standing behind him, was secretly shocked. He did not expect Lee Yunyun, who was a stranger to strangers, to treat Hua Ming like this.

Uh, she was a little too enthusiastic! She had surpassed him, the brother he had known since he was young.

Wang Ge expressed a slight sadness.

Hua Ming had won Lee Yunyun's approval without a hitch. He listened attentively to Hua Ming's lectures and tutoring sessions. No one had expected this.

Lee Yunyun had a strange personality. She was often cold and violent to others and ignored them. Because of this, she chased away many tutors. Hua Ming's uniqueness made Lee Yunyun's father very happy. In the end, when Hua Ming was about to leave, he waved his hand and gave her double the amount.

Hua Ming held the three hundred yuan in his hand and was so happy that he was about to fly.

After bidding farewell to the Li Family, he was so happy that he ran a long way. He had money now. Uncle Li said that he would come back next week and give him so much money!

Hua Ming thought about it and laughed again.

As the saying goes, when things reach an extreme, they will go in the opposite direction. It made sense.

Hua Ming was so happy that he did not look at the road. Not only did he miss the bus stop, but he also arrived at a place he did not know at all. He turned left and right a few times, but he still could not find any familiar signs.

He was lost!
