[TCFO] Arc 2 — Chapter 95
Kick off the Campus’ Cinderella (55)
Time passed slowly in the morning and evening. It had been almost a month since Zhou Min had been imprisoned here by Liu Haoyu. During this month, Liu Haoyu had not touched Zhou Min because he was too busy or she was already asleep when he returned. If the housekeeper hadn’t said that Liu Haoyu would come back every night, Zhou Min would have thought that Liu Haoyu had forgotten about this place.
The news of Liu Haoyu and Su Xiaoxiao’s engagement was on the TV, and it swept across the sky. Zhou Min looked at it and smiled coldly. It was the same as in the previous life, but Zhou Min in this life knew that the reason why Liu Haoyu married Su Xiaoxiao was that he had gotten involved with another girl.
For some reason, she was suddenly curious about what the girl Liu Haoyu was so obsessed with looked like. She suddenly remembered Liu Haoyu intentionally scaring herself when she first came here and the door he had mentioned. Maybe it was because she was too curious, or maybe her identity was too special in this manor. Few people stared at her in the mansion. When curiosity overcame everything, she unknowingly walked to the door that Liu Haoyu had mentioned.
Looking at the ordinary carved door in front of her, Zhou Min put her hand on it, and her heart suddenly jumped. Without much effort, the door opened with a creak. With the opening of the door, the lights on the spiral staircase, like a propeller, suddenly lit up layer by layer. The surrounding ice crystals were as cold as the North Pole, exuding a biting chill. Although the weather was approaching October and the tail of the scorching heat hadn’t left entirely, at this moment, Zhou Min was shivering coldly, and her heart trembled.
Zhou Min didn’t even realise that she wasn’t wearing slippers on her feet, maybe she had forgotten when she got up, but Zhou Min didn’t care - she was too worried and restless. As Zhou Min walked down slowly, she was surprised when she looked at the surroundings. Each floor was a laboratory and housed different animals and people. They bared their teeth and claws in the cages with panicked expressions.
Some people locked in the cage had dull eyes, but when they saw Zhou Min, they suddenly lit up and cursed. Some called Liu Haoyu not human, some called Liu Haoyu ungrateful, not worthy of being part of the Liu family, and some were acquaintances. One person was the grandson of the commander of the military region a month ago. But standing on the stairs at this moment, she looked at the man hanging in mid-air. His whole body was stitched up like a rag doll, and he had lost several rounds of weight.
Zhou Min stood outside the cage, looked at him in the cage, and seemed to hear him muttering, “What, kill him... kill him...”
Zhou Min couldn’t bear it, it was so pitiful! On the next floor, she saw Ruan Ru among the many animals. Between her legs was a giant wolf dog’s c*ck, dirty constantly entering and leaving her lower body. Her eyes were glazed as if broken and desperate.
Like a puppet, neither crying nor fussing, from time to time, she would take half of the cold steamed bun that was rolled aside and dirty by animals and put it in her mouth to bite twice. Looking at Ruan Ru’s situation, she knew she also offended Liu Haoyu; in other words, she should be inseparable from the fact that the commander’s grandson r*ped her.
Zhou Min walked down without continuing to stay until she was almost at the bottom. She saw an empty place that was very warmly furnished and seemed to be inhabited. The wallpaper and floral cloth intuitively told Zhou Min that it was here. There was no obstruction when Zhou Min walked in, and she could see the furnishings at a glance. It was hot, and it could be seen that a lot of thought was put into the arrangement. The wallpaper on the wall was the popular white floral pattern, the European-style princess bed, and the bed had a slightly raised figure. Zhou Min walked over slowly.
The person on the bed was in her early twenties, about the same age as her, with a ruddy complexion. An IV drip was on her right hand, a white dress, eyelashes like butterfly wings casting a shadow, red lips, and eyebrows like a distant daisy. Her whole body gave people a quiet and far-reaching softness and calmness, and the shallow ups and downs of the chest told her that this girl was alive.
Zhou Min couldn’t help but want to reach out and touch the girl but was grabbed by a hand that suddenly stretched out from behind. It was a little stiff and painful. Looking at the hand holding her wrist, she didn’t need to turn her head. She knew who the person behind her was. These hands had been nostalgic and tender to her countless times.
Those pairs of hands were very suitable for playing the piano, with well-defined and slender joints. “Why were you here?” Liu Haoyu’s words brought Zhou Min back to her senses, and she looked back at him. Maybe he was in a hurry, perhaps he ran over, his hair was a little messy, and his breathing was a little rapid. Zhou Min couldn’t help but half-cast her eyes.
‘Is this girl so important in your heart? You have never been in such a hurry.’
Zhou Min bowed her head and did not speak. Liu Haoyu looked at her, whose feet were red from the cold. His eyes flashed with distress and helplessness. He bent down and embraced her, “You will wear shoes from now on!”
Zhou Min was very well-behaved, without resistance nor struggle. Looking from Liu Haoyu’s shoulder to the girl on the bed, gradually moving away, her eyes had an indescribable look. She longed for something in her previous life, but now she suddenly didn’t know what she wanted.
Liu Haoyu carried Zhou Min in front of the rushing professor and walked into his exclusive elevator without paying attention. Zhou Min didn’t speak, instead she put her face on his shoulder and closed her eyes. The feeling of her drifting away made Liu Haoyu feel restless in his heart.
After that night, Zhou Min changed. She became quieter, more distracted, less ecstatic, and more illusory. There seemed to be a feeling that she was about to leave. It was a kind of deathly tranquillity, but she had no reason. He knew that Zhou Min was like this because of Su Xiaoxiao, but a gene in Su Xiaoxiao’s body was a life-saving medicine for that girl, and he was almost able to research it.
But that man stood with the people in the United Nations and Mr Liu. They dealt with him simultaneously, but Liu Haoyu was no longer alone. He had a girl he wanted to protect, so he couldn’t be as decisive and ruthless as before. To be sure, he wanted Zhou Min not to be known by anyone. If anyone found out his weakness, it would be this person in his arms!
