[TCFO] Arc 2 — Chapter 78
Kick off the Campus’ Cinderella (38)
Liu Haoyu's face, because of Zhou Min's ignorance that morning, was dastardly. It made everyone in the office and even the whole building at risk! There was a feeling that the boss had stopped his period and was in menopause!
Zhou Min was in a bad mood because she saw her favourite pig's trotters being mercilessly taken away in the morning. After hastily eating, she changed her clothes, grabbed the schoolbag from the chair, and rushed towards the door.
As soon as she went out, she saw the driver from last night at the door, Old Wang?!
The driver, Old Wang, had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Zhou Min come out, he immediately bent down and straightened up his pristine coat. Even though he noticed the look on Zhou Min's face, the face of a furious baby, he didn't talk to her.
"Miss Jiang, are we going to school now?"
Seeing Old Wang's respectful attitude and the fact that he had been waiting for a long time, Zhou Min was a little surprised. But thinking of Liu Haoyu’s scheming, she was afraid that he had already issued his orders!
And she was not hypocritical because if she got angry in this place, then she would have no driver. She need only rely on her two legs and walk down the mountain. Yes, she would be exhausted!
It was too far away, and there wasn't any bus!
Zhou Min nodded, then looked at the black sedan behind him, and couldn't help but feel that Liu Haoyu was very thoughtful. The sedan was low-key and ordinary. With a modern value of hundreds of thousands yuan, it would neither attract the attention of others nor make their classmates suspicious!
After all, she had always been picked up by her parents in a luxury car. If she didn’t have it for one day, it would probably lead to doubts and suspicions of others.
Old Wang's driving skills were stable; Zhou Min didn't feel uncomfortable but safe. Old Wang drove her to school. As soon as Zhou Min got out of the car, she heard Old Wang standing by the side, bowing his head respectfully, “The young master said, I will come to pick you up in the afternoon. Please go straight out after school..."
Zhou Min nodded. As soon as Old Wang mentioned Liu Haoyu, she thought of what had happened in the morning. She couldn't help but become more speechless. She turned to leave but was seen by Ruan Ru, who had just entered the school gate.
Ruan Ru, planning to call Zhou Min, looked up and saw Zhou Min, who was getting out of the car. She looked at the driver in confusion. After seeing the driver leave, Ruan Ru saw that Zhou Min was not there. Seeing that she had turned around and left, she immediately stomped toward her angrily.
"Xiaomin, have you been hiding from me these last two days? I went to your house to find you, but I heard from your mother that you would live on campus in the future! I called you, your phone was turned off, and you were taken away by Liu Haoyu from the Japanese restaurant. Afterwards, you have been mysterious these past few days. You didn't wait for me to finish school or wait for me in the morning. Besides, someone saw you leaving with Liu Haoyu yesterday. I told you that Liu Haoyu is not someone you can mess with. Liu Haoyu already has Su Xiaoxiao. Do you feel good about being a third party? Besides, what’s with the driver just now? Don't you live in school? How did you get out of a private car? Who is the owner of the private car? It can't be Liu Haoyu! What's the matter with you?" Her tone was full of anger, questioning, and sourness, as if she was accusing Zhou Min of being indifferent to her and ignoring her these days.
Zhou Min was baffled. It was impossible to have no secrets, even if they were friends. Liu Haoyu had made her life a mess in the past two days. And she just brushed hands with her favourite pig's feet this morning. All of this, she accepted with an inexplicable sense of pity.
Now she finally wanted to take advantage of the half-day of school. Didn't Ruan Ru imply that she and Liu Haoyu were unclear, so she should stay away from Liu Haoyu!
But Ruan Ru’s tone of talking. Let's not think about what relationship Liu Haoyu had with Jiang Min. By the way she was acting and the possessiveness displayed when talking about Liu Haoyu, even if she was blind she would know. Ruan Ru was like a resentful woman, but in what capacity was she questioning her!
Zhou Min couldn't help looking down, and her tone was dark, "My phone is out of power. The driver is new!"
Her light and perfunctory answer made Ruan Ru a little dissatisfied, but Ruan Ru didn't care about these things. She cared about the relationship between Liu Haoyu and Zhou Min. She smiled falsely and stepped forward to hold Zhou Min. Zhou Min avoided her, pretending to look through her school bag.
"However, what's going on between you and Liu Haoyu? After you were taken away by him that day, I always wanted to find a chance to ask you, but I never had the chance. Yesterday it was rumoured that you and Liu Haoyu were together. It is rumoured that the two of you are very close when it comes to leaving school. Xiaomin, good friends remind each other when they make mistakes. Besides, shouldn't good friends share things when they have something? If you and Liu Haoyu are really good friends, tell me. You must not take the relationship seriously. You absolutely can't be with him, how can someone like him have anything to do with someone from a small family like us! I'm doing this for your good and Liu Haoyu. He is already with Su Xiaoxiao. You can't be a third party, so your parents know you won't lose face! I'm doing this for your good!"
"Do my parents know something? Even if they do, what can they do? If Liu Haoyu can be with Su Xiaoxiao, why can't he be with me? Am I better than Su Xiaoxiao? Liu Haoyu and I have nothing to do with each other. Even if there is anything between us, it's my business. Can you stop preaching to me in a sour voice?" Zhou Min was a little impatient at this moment, and turned to leave. Ruan Ru, stunned by what Min said, looked at the place where Zhou Min had left, pinched her fingernails into her flesh, until they turned white and left crescent marks.
But Ruan Ru didn't see much pain at all. She just looked at Zhou Min's back, then lowered her head and muttered, "Jiang Min, why are you so disobedient? Why..."
The drooping strands of hair covered Ruan Ru's eyes and the sides of her cheeks. A strange smile appeared at the corners of her mouth, and she turned and walked out of the school gate resolutely.
When Zhou Min returned to the classroom, she was completely absent-minded. All she thought about was what happened this morning. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Liu Haoyu was going crazy this morning.
When she heard Zhou Min's thoughts, the system couldn't help breaking a cold sweat.
She had long given up on her IQ but it seemed that Zhou Min was actually a woman whose EQ was equal to zero!’
It was almost noon, and the sun was shining into the classroom, but the students were all lazy, leaning on their desks with their chins propped up. She suddenly left through the classroom's back door while the professor was speaking enthusiastically.
"Why did you suddenly run away?" The voice suddenly rang in Zhou Min's mind. Zhou Min, skipping class for the first time was frightened and guilty. She shivered telling the system, "Can't you stop being so elusive and appear all of a sudden? It scared me to death..."
She was confused and speechless, and finally she ignored Zhou Min arrogantly. When Zhou Min ran out of the teaching building, she was in a good mood. She looked at the campus where there were not many students. Life at university was good. The classes were all free. Although she occasionally saw a few students passing by, it was lunch time. Whether it was the classmates in the dormitory or the students who were scheduled after nine o'clock, the school playground was closed because of the cafeteria. Now, was peak traffic at the cafeteria.
With all the people around, it would be a bad idea to be seen going in and out with Liu Haoyu.
She stretched her back, and the sun on her face made her feel like the morning's frustration was lifting, so she reached out to block the blinding sunlight and put her bag on her back before leaving.
As she walked, she called out to the system, but because of what Zhou Min had said earlier, she didn't want to talk to her for the time being. Zhou Min coaxed her all the way, thinking that the system was like an emperor!
The system was more like a tyrant…
The man who suddenly came out of the path halfway down the road was a surprise to Zhou Min, and she shivered.
She tried to go around him and leave, but he seemed to be teasing her, and when Zhou Min walked, the man across the street followed.
"What do you want to do, classmate? Zhou Min did not want to run from the man opposite her like a little mouse, so she stood in the middle of the path and asked.
The man clasped his hands to his chest, his eyes were amused as he looked Zhou Min up and down, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cynical smile, "I just wanted to get to know the supreme goddess of Qing University.
"You're not a student at our school!" Zhou Min said with certainty, although the man's words revealed that he was a university student when he appeared, the system immediately warned her that this man was dangerous and not a university student!
