[TCFO] Arc 2 — Chapter 106

Kick off the Campus’ Cinderella (66)

When Zhou Min returned to the mission space again, she breathed a sigh of relief. The male protagonist on this page of the world was really exhausting for her.

From the moment she agreed to have a baby with Liu Haoyu, it seemed like half of her life was spent with Liu Haoyu pressing her on the bed. If she hadn't gotten angry and refused to have more children, Liu Haoyu might have really made her give birth to a whole baseball team!

It was terrifying. She couldn't understand why he was so obsessed with having children?! But in the end, she still gave birth to three boys and two girls for Liu Haoyu. However, sometimes she felt a bit uneasy when she looked at her five children. It seemed like they had some kind of burning gaze!

However, her children loved her and truly loved her. From childhood to adulthood, whether it was studying, living, working, or getting married, she never had to worry. It seemed like Liu Haoyu had raised them very well. Except for when they were younger than seven, she could still hug them and be close to them. But after they turned seven, whenever she approached the babies, Liu Haoyu would take them away and throw her on the bed, and then there would be three days and three nights of struggling.

In this life, besides feeling Liu Haoyu's inexplicably strong love and possessiveness, Liu Haoyu truly doted on her. No matter what she wanted, what she did, or what unreasonable requests she had, he unconditionally fulfilled them. It made her feel suppressed, but at the same time, she could also sense Liu Haoyu's hidden caution and uneasiness.

Therefore, she tried her best to do nothing, to rely on and satisfy Liu Haoyu's psyche, making him feel her love for him. Because that was also Jiang Min's love, her empathy with Jiang Min had not disappeared, or rather, through her own body, Jiang Min was once again telling Liu Haoyu that she loved him!

She only lived for 60 years, and she wasn't lying on a sickbed but in a laboratory.

Zhou Min sat in the space, recalling the scene from not long ago, feeling a sigh escape her lips involuntarily.

Ever since her body started to weaken, Liu Haoyu had moved her to the laboratory and tirelessly experimented on her day after day.

And her moments of clarity became fewer and fewer until she reminded herself today was the day. Zhou Min knew she was about to depart, so when Liu Haoyu wanted to administer more drugs to her again, she held onto him and looked at him once again, causing Zhou Min to be slightly startled.

A person who was extremely clean and had a germaphobe nature had actually become so sloppy. His scruffy bearded face almost made her not recognize him!

She knew that over the years, Liu Haoyu had been anxious because they had never gotten married. There was no marriage certificate, no wedding. Or rather, Zhou Min had never wanted to marry him, but he arrogantly declared to the world that she was his wife!

Perhaps in Zhou Min's consciousness, a marriage certificate wasn't very important. But this piece of paper made Liu Haoyu anxious throughout his life. Or rather, he had stubbornly been waiting for her to say one word.

"Husband, let's die together! On the road to the netherworld, accompany me, hold my hand, and go through reincarnation together... We'll meet again in our next life; you love me first, come chase after me... We'll have five more children in the next life..."

Liu Haoyu's hair was already a mess; his eyes were dark and tired. It had been months since he had slept properly, and recently he stayed up all night because he noticed that Zhou Min's life index was getting lower and lower. When he heard Zhou Min's words, he still had a syringe in his hands, and he looked at the pale and frail woman lying on the laboratory bed with a suppressed gaze.

His eyes began to moisten, his hands trembled slightly, and he involuntarily knelt beside Zhou Min's bed. His trembling voice, filled with disbelief, betrayed his surprise. "What did you call me? Say it again!"

"Husband, carry me outside to see our dreamlike mansion. I've never had a chance to properly see our dreamlike mansion in the sunset. I heard it's beautiful!" Zhou Min's words were gentle and softly spoken, but they made Liu Haoyu's heart tremble uncontrollably. Even though her youthful appearance had faded, she still made him feel his heart beating rapidly because of her.

"Okay!" Since Zhou Min woke up in the laboratory several decades ago, Liu Haoyu had never refused anything she asked of him, even things he couldn't understand. He never refused. Moreover, he felt that Zhou Min's life was coming to an end. But with her permission and the promise of meeting in the next life, Liu Haoyu suddenly realised that leaving with her was what he desired the most. Wherever she was, he would be there.

When Liu Haoyu lifted Zhou Min up in a princess carry, he finally stepped out of the laboratory, where he had confined himself for three consecutive months. Outside, their children and the professors from the experiment were waiting, but they all stopped in their tracks under Liu Haoyu's cold gaze. At this moment, Liu Haoyu only wanted to be with Zhou Min.

And Zhou Min fulfilled her wish by leaving her gaze solely on Liu Haoyu. As Liu Haoyu carried Zhou Min and walked to the elevated corner tower of the mansion, bathed in the sunset, the estate looked breathtakingly beautiful. It was adorned with vibrant flowers, surrounded by lush greenery, and featured uniquely exquisite architectural designs. Every corner displayed exceptional craftsmanship.

"It's truly beautiful!"

"Xiaomin, do you mean what you just said?" Liu Haoyu tightened his grip on himself from behind, and Zhou Min smiled slightly, naturally leaning her body against him, resting in his embrace. "Go freshen up. I don't want you to look messy when we walk the road to the netherworld. I care a lot about appearances, you know! In our next life, if you're not handsome, I won't have you!"

Liu Haoyu stifled a laugh against the back of his neck but felt a warm tear drop on his skin, which made Zhou Min pause for a moment. She felt his arms embracing her tighten once again, then heard Liu Haoyu murmur, "Wait for me. I'll tidy up, and then we'll go together..."

After gently placing Zhou Min on the cosy sofa in the corner tower, Liu Haoyu hurriedly rushed downstairs. At this moment, their children gathered around Zhou Min one by one.

Looking at the person who appeared tired, weak, and haggard, with white hair mixed in and deep wrinkles around the corners of their eyes, their children still loved this man who occasionally challenged the role of a father. Because at that time, they could feel the abundant love and warmth this woman had for them, as well as the tolerance and affection she had for their father.

"Mommy~"

"You're here. Promise Mommy that after your father and I leave, the laboratory beneath this estate will be your final refuge. But you mustn't use it to harm the world. Promise Mommy! Mommy doesn't ask you to become famous and stand at the pinnacle of the world. I only hope for your safety and happiness. Protect yourselves! If one day the world poses a threat to you, then change the world into what you desire. Mommy and Daddy have always been proud and happy because of you..."

Although the system required her to maintain balance and safety in this world, due to Liu Haoyu's power and the mystery and strength of this estate, their children were undoubtedly feared by the entire world. Before, they had to be cautious because of Liu Haoyu, but now she had to leave with this unsettling factor. So, what would happen to this world after Liu Haoyu left was beyond her control. But she was still selfish because she was the mother of these five children.

Finally, as Jiang Min's life node in her previous life, she returned to the mission space. At the moment when Zhou Min's life came to an end, Liu Haoyu also ended his own life.

"What's our next mission?" When Zhou Min came back to her memories, she could only lament the emotions she had for Jiang Min and Liu Haoyu, hoping that in their next life, Liu Haoyu would be able to find Jiang Min and not miss her again!
