[TCFO] Arc 2 - Chapter 61.2 & 61.3

Hello! I read TCFO and ended up liking the unexpected plot and angst of this arc. It’s still got another 50 chapters to complete but it gets really exciting. I reached out to Fox, and will be continuing to translate from Xercia. This chapter is a bit longer as it's part 60 (labelled 61.2 to follow the previous numbering) and 61.3 is the full of chapter 61 that matches the original raws. Hope you enjoy <3

Arc 2: Kick off the Campus' Cinderella (22-23)

Chapter 61.2

Zhou Min nodded immediately, and then hurriedly pulled the car door and jumped down, but forgot that she was sore and weak at the moment. The car was specially modified, and try as she might, she couldn’t even open it with the strenuous effort she exerted.

  Zhou Min turned her head and tried to tell herself that she must hold back. This was the male lead. However, she did not know at that moment when her eyes lit up, seemingly breathing out fire, her lips twitched, and her distressed expression was uglier than crying!

“Student Liu, you-, open the lock!”

Liu Haoyu looked at Zhou Min's movements, and couldn’t help showing a small smile. Seeing Zhou Min’s face flushed, he stretched out his hand and pressed a button somewhere. The door of the car door beeped. Zhou Min only opened the car door when it sounded.

  Zhou Min couldn’t wait to find a piece of land to bury herself, or bury the male lead. Her face flushed red. She didn’t know if she was angry or ashamed. She rushed out too hard, but forgot, now she was a half-handicapped person. Before her legs landed, a soreness at the base of her legs reached her waist.

  She almost fell to the ground, with her feet hanging upside down. Behind her, Liu Haoyu stretched out his hand quickly and steadied her. Zhou Min took advantage of his strength and stood firmly. She didn’t even say thank you, limping away. She waddled like a duck and awkwardly ran to her villa.

  Liu Haoyu behind her looked at the person in front of him and could not help the smile on his face. However, at that moment, the phone rang and he saw the name ‘Su Xiaoxiao’ flash on the display of his phone screen. He could not help but narrow his smile, and his eyes involuntarily sank.

  ”Okay, stay there, I will come soon!” After Liu Haoyu finished, he looked at Zhou Min, who was no longer in his line of sight, and then started the engine, leaving the Jiang family villa.

  When she got home, she took another shower. It was too late, and her body was aching. Zhou Min dried her hair and climbed onto the bed. When she was sleeping soundly, the phone on the bedside table rang desperately.

Zhou Min couldn’t even open her eyes. 

“Xiao Min!” Ruan Ru’s questioning voice came over. “Where did you go with Liu Haoyu yesterday? Why could I not get through to your mobile phone last night? Nothing happened between you and Liu Haoyu. Huh? What is the relationship between the two of you? Are you dating? We are good friends. If you are dating him, you can’t hide it from me! And even if the male god is your boyfriend? You don’t have to hide it. Don’t admit it? I’m not going to steal your boyfriend. We are sisters. If not, why did he hug you yesterday? He is notoriously infamous at school? And, Min, don’t forget, at school there is also Su Xiaoxiao, that woman has a bad temperament!”

As soon as she answered the phone, the other end connected immediately and hounded her with endless questions.

She’d just gone through such laborious effort yesterday, and now was incredibly sleepy. Why did she have to accept other people’s torture one after another. Even though Zhou Min had a good temper, she couldn’t help feeling so bothered at that moment!

  Her life was threatened from time to time, and every time she crossed worlds, she had to please the heroes of each story. No matter whether she wanted to, she must have a relationship with them, and she was already aggrieved to death!

  She was Zhou Min, not Jiang Min! Although Jiang Min and Ruan Ru are good friends, in her opinion, they were not really on that good of terms to talk about such intimate topics. Added to the fact she was Zhou Min, and had no intention of getting close to Ruan Ru. Though ‘empathy’ existed, it was only used for the male lead!

  Her feelings were based on the sincerity of the other party, but compared to what happened in the booth yesterday, although she always owed her IQ every time she encountered the male protagonist, it did not mean that she was really stupid. At any rate, she was also a member of the golden-collar elite group* in her own world.

*混跡金領精英 Golden-collar refers to the high-income class, urban elite. They’re usually CEOs, COOs, with high status and career accomplishments.

Chapter 61.3

Ruan Ru, a college student, could act. But since Liu Haoyu had first appeared, her eyes had been following him. And that self-introduction she’d subconsciously uttered after chasing after them. Zhou Min was not stupid!

  Coupled with Ruan Ru’s current tone of questioning guised as caring, Zhou Min wasn’t dumb. She didn’t want to waste her brain cells, especially since she had been done over by the male lead yesterday till five or six o’clock the next morning before being let go. Depressed, her tone cooled down a notch, and she said to the phone without thinking.

“I have nothing to do with him. If you’re curious you can ask Liu Haoyu tomorrow, aren’t you in the same class as him? If you want to ask him, ask him yourself. I am not familiar with him! I want to go to  sleep, don’t disturb me today!” After speaking in one breath, she hung up the phone. But before she managed to throw away the phone, it once again rang frantically. Zhou Min felt so angry that she simply turned off the phone and chucked it across her bed to go back to sleep.

***

When Zhou Min woke up the next day, although she was very reluctant, she could not help but want to beat herself to death remembering Liu Haoyu’s warning that depicted her hidden crisis in his words.

But she thought that Liu Haoyu was the male protagonist, and Jiang Min’s wishes. Except for the last wish, the other two seemed to be non-interfering with each other. But their essence was still around the male protagonist. So, to put it bluntly, she only needed to set the male protagonist, plus her own nourishment. In order to collect his nourishment, it seemed that the male protagonist couldn’t be offended!

  Thinking of this, Zhou Min couldn’t help but get up no matter how reluctant she was. She chose the finance major of Qingda University. Originally, Jiang Min was the only daughter of the Jiang family. Since then, all the family business of the Jiang family had been inherited by Jiang Min alone. Therefore, she chose to major in financial management!

  Zhou Min simply cleaned up and went to school. The first class was her elective course, about film and television art, and the heroine happened to be a film and television director. Additionally, film and television art was the heroine’s professional course. So she finally met the real pseudo-Saint Lotus Black Sesame* heroine a week after entering this story.

*伪圣莲黑芝麻的女主 term for a fake bitch pretending to be pure, for men

  There were more and more people filing into the classroom, and the classroom became noisier. The student in charge of the roll call got up and started to sign in. When the call came to Su Xiaoxiao, a thin figure stood up in the seat in front of her.

She had to admit, she was indeed worthy to be the Cinderella on campus. Her appearance was inconspicuous and delicate, but once she puts on makeup, she must be stunning. Moreover, all Cinderellas must be thin, but hidden beneath clothes. The appearance must not be seen, but as soon as she finishes taking off her clothes, men become burning with desire.

Thinking of this, Zhou Min could not help but smile coldly.

  ”You are Zhou Min, right? I’m Su Xiaoxiao, I heard that you are not well these days. Are you better now? A gentle and beautiful female voice rang out in Zhou Min’s ears, along with the sound of the voice, a small white hand stretched out to touch Zhou Min's forehead.

Zhou Min subconsciously inclined her head, and looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who was two rows in front of her near the wall. She didn’t know whether to sit next to her. However, Zhou Min’s arms around her chest and the appearance of rejection made Su Xiaoxiao look a little embarrassed and helpless. Wringing her hands, she cautiously said, “Xiao Min, I was too abrupt. Just seeing you, I feel very close, like you’re my own sister. I’m just worried about you, so will …”

As expected of the heroine, speaking daintily and softly. Many people around looked at her with caring and pampering gazes, falling under the heroine’s white lotus holy halo.

But who is Zhou Min? She is a taskmaster. She has read Jiang Min’s entire life. How could she not know how terribly Jiang Min was harmed by this hypocritical woman, and Jiang Min hated the heroine so deeply. She and Jiang Min were one with ‘empathy’, so they felt the same. Thus how could she be fooled by this woman’s hypocritical face. Zhou Min pursed her lips, shook her head and distanced herself, “I am the only one in my family, and there is no extra sister!”

   Su Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed dimly, exuding coldness. But her hands suddenly squeezed, and a layer of bright mist appeared in her eyes.

 ”She actually dared to ignore you! The goddess is the flower of the high mountain, we are afraid that we can not afford to climb it! Besides, if she can come to school, doesn’t that mean she’s not dead? You are so kind, don’t always care about people who think too highly of themselves! She really thinks she’s some kind of princess! Don’t forget, you are the person that our god has to protect, what are others?”

  The girl standing next to Su Xiaoxiao with a short haircut and wearing black-rimmed looked at the poor Su Xiaoxiao with some pity, and wanted to pull her up and leave Zhou Min, a fake fairy* with a high self-esteem. But for some reason, Su Xiaoxiao, who was pulled by her, not only did not leave, but shyly squirmed, “Don’t say that, Brother Yu is very good.”

*fairies are immortals 1

Sure enough to be the female lead, a soft voice which was delicate was one of the necessary skills. Although as an unremarkable campus Cinderella, Su Xiaoxiao had a clean and soft appearance, and her voice was even more delicate when speaking. Especially when she wore ordinary humble clothes. Her clothes, a wide white shirt on the upper body, and a pair of jeans on the lower body, were just like this. Still, this highlighted her enchanting and soft curves.

Her face was innocent and flawless, with a pair of Bambi-like innocent eyes, although her appearance was not as good-looking as Zhou Min, but the face of innocence and childishness of her aura was the key to attracting men.

So Jiang Min was too beautiful, so everyone felt like she was a fake fairy, hypocritical and vicious. On the other hand, Su Xiaoxiao was full of vitality, warm and simple, and was willing to help others. She could maintain a good relationship with anyone; even had Liu Haoyu’s care. Despite this, she still maintained good relationships on the surface and was kind, so everyone thought she was like a true angel.

That was why, when the truth was revealed and it was proven that Su Xiaoxiao had used Jiang Min’s identity, Liu Hao Yu and all those in the know got everyone’s forgiveness because of her tears, confusion, and false words!

When she remembered what Jiang Min remembered, Zhou Min’s face became even more ugly. After Su Xiaoxiao said this, Zhou Min stood up without thinking, took her textbook and was ready to walk around her to the back of the room.

But she didn’t know what kind of madness Su Xiaoxiao was brewing. She actually managed to pull her away, fearing that she would be hurt, and suddenly stopped Zhou Min. “Xiao...no, Zhou... Classmate Zhou, do you ...do you have something against me?

Zhou Min turned her head and rolled her eyes. She really did not want to get involved with Su Xiaoxiao. Anyway, as long as the male lead was dealt with, Su Xiaoxiao was a shrimp. What kind of waves could such a small shrimp create!

How could such a small shrimp turn out what waves!

Su Xiaoxiao came around, and Zhou Min bypassed her again, fearing that she would chase her, and sat down in the corner and propped a book up to read. Su Xiaoxiao originally wanted to follow her, but the class professor walked in wearing glasses with a face full of seriousness.
