[TCFO] Arc 2 — Chapter 94

Kick off the Campus’ Cinderella (54)

"I just want to ask you two questions," Zhou Min looked at Liu Haoyu with a severe expression he had never seen before.

"You say..."

"If, before Su Xiaoxiao, you had recognised me first, would you have let Su Xiaoxiao approach you? And if I hadn't let you approach Su Xiaoxiao, would you have agreed?" Zhou Min asked. The question was vexatious, but she wanted to know. For her previous self, this answer was critical.

"I don't want to lie to you. I would still have let Su Xiaoxiao stay by my side because she had what I needed. But I can tell you for sure that, for Su Xiaoxiao, no matter in the past or the future, I have never put anyone but you first."

"Second question: you said you had been looking for a pair of eyes. Did you find them?" Initially, Zhou Min didn't want to ask, but sometimes the only way to give up was when it hurt until it didn’t.

"I found them!" Liu Haoyu was slightly taken aback, his eyes half-closed, and his hands tightening somewhat.

"Who is it?"

"You said there were only two questions..." Liu Haoyu didn't answer Zhou Min's question, but Zhou Min suddenly laughed at herself. "So it wasn't me..."

"Your position in my heart is unquestionable. Why do you always like to test the bottom line so much? When you should be smart, you are always stupid, but you are so accurate on this issue. Why can't you be a little more stupid? Before, you looked so unintelligent..."

Zhou Min suddenly laughed, lying on Liu Haoyu's body, tired of giggling and laughing. It turned out that in her previous life, she  didn't lose to Su Xiaoxiao, but to him, to his dedication and care for someone else.

Liu Haoyu knew that his answer did not satisfy Zhou Min. In other words, Zhou Min didn't want to hear him say this answer. He could have lied to her, but he wanted to face her honestly because apart from her, his only heart's knot was the pair of eyes that once gave him the will to live.

That girl was found after meeting Zhou Min. He was willing to give up looking for the pair of eyes that made him stubborn for Zhou Min, but suddenly found them. Even though they were distant and he had only caught a glimpse, he had found them.

It was those eyes, filled with sadness, complexity, and unspeakable pain, that he was nostalgic for, but when he found her again, it was at the end of her life. He might have said he could let go of her if he hadn't seen her, but she had already been found by him. How could he let her go?

Although her life was about to end, it was only due to the diagnosis and treatment of a group of quack doctors. Now, she was in his laboratory, using Su Xiaoxiao's energy and a kind of original bacteria that had been brought into her body to stay alive. The index was getting higher and higher, and the latest experimental data told him that she would wake up in just one month, one month later!

After waking up, he just wanted to look at the pair of eyes that had haunted him for more than ten years and then let that woman go because he knew very well that he didn't love her. At that time, he was the one who carried her there. Along the way, his heartbeat did not move, which differed from the feeling of holding Zhou Min.

Therefore, Liu Haoyu clearly wanted to look at those eyes again, save the woman with those eyes, and watch her leave and live so that he could ultimately end his obsession. Otherwise, this matter would become a knot in his heart for the rest of his life, and it would cause him more pain than when he discovered the true colours of everyone in the Liu family.

He thought that what he did was very secretive, but for some reason, he was discovered by the man who had the woman before him, and now Zhou Min knew!

Although he was not afraid of him, that man who had his dark world in Europe and America was like a leech. He would not let go even if he sucked the corpse dry. It annoyed Liu Haoyu so much!

However, something happened to Zhou Min before he could solve this man’s situation!

He didn’t believe these two things were unrelated, but who was it?

Su Xiaoxiao? Ruan Ru? Or the last former helmsman of the Liu family, his grandfather?!

He was surprised by the information handed over by S5 that afternoon. He always knew that Zhou Min didn’t look at his friends, but he didn’t realise when Ruan Ru and Su Xiaoxiao were colluding with the old man of the Liu family and knew about the situation in his laboratory!

He had to say that the centipede was dead but not stiff. He didn’t expect that Mr Liu, who was ostracised, would have someone loyal to him, let alone the leaders of the countries in the United Nations who were secretly helping him. The year had been quiet, and there were no activities, so those people thought, what could a Patriarch of the Liu family with no real power give them?

Or, they thought that he, Liu Haoyu, was no longer capable!

Liu Haoyu and Zhou Min were so close, but Zhou Min felt that this was the time when they were the farthest away.

Liu Haoyu lowered his head, and when he was about to say something, Zhou Min raised her head and looked at Liu Haoyu, smiling a bit reluctantly, his mind an enigma.

“I’m tired!” Zhou Min didn’t want to say anything more because she was perplexed now and didn’t know what to do. In other words, she still hated Liu Haoyu!

She leaned against Liu Haoyu’s arms, wanted to cry, but couldn’t, and wanted to laugh but felt tired.

“You don’t have to laugh if you don’t want to. In front of me, you can truly be yourself...” Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but feel a little sad when he saw Zhou Min’s appearance, but he didn’t know how to comfort her.

Jiang Min used to be in pain, the pain was worse than death, but she didn’t want to die because she couldn’t see him after death. Now she knew a lot, but she felt stupid. He gave her back the pain she used to bear in her life! In this life, it was her turn.

Whether he would suffer was up to him.

The porridge in the kitchen was warm then cooled, but no one talked about the topic of porridge. At dawn, Liu Haoyu left in a hurry, as if something was urgent. Zhou Min came out. Not being allowed to leave the manor seemed to be an order from Liu Haoyu. She could go anywhere in the mansion but could not leave the estate.
