TFRLTOP Chapter 103 Part 2

And then she noticed the blond guy’s face instantly turn red.

Ming Ming also felt a little embarrassed.

“So… this is your real hair? I thought you were wearing a wig.”

He scratched his head and laughed.
“I dyed it green during summer vacation. After the color faded, it turned blonde. When school started, the teacher wouldn’t allow it and told me to dye it black. Who knew even black dye would fade? After it faded, it was still blonde. Whatever. My hair is just like this now!”

Ming Ming gave him a thumbs-up.

After chatting for a while, Ming Ming was satisfied with seeing his face up close and happily went back to her own class.

Back in her seat, Ming Ming rested her chin in her hands and chatted idly with the system.

“What do you think Xiao Yunmu’s reaction will be when he finds out I’m not his real sister?”

“Hard to say.”

Ming Ming felt a little worried. She always felt like that day was coming very soon.

“Would he throw me out right away? Would he give me a sum of money to send me off?”

“Would he think of the years he spent raising me?”

The system complained, “Shouldn’t you be the one thinking about that?”

Ming Ming said, “Then I can only be sensible and leave.”

“Sigh, happy times are always so short. Brother, in the blink of an eye, it’s already time to say goodbye…”

Leaning sideways, Ming Ming’s gaze landed right on Lu Beichen. He seemed to sense her stare and turned to look at her.

Ming Ming suddenly sat up straight.

“Did he just look at me? Did he?”

System: “…”

“Tell me, what exactly are you expecting?”

Ming Ming squirmed a little. “W-well… in the previous stories, the male leads all liked me. Maybe this one likes me too…”

“Then do you like him?”

Ming Ming fell silent for a moment. “Or… maybe I’ll wait until he grows up more and see?”

“You fake woman! Are men just tools for satisfying your vanity?!”

Ming Ming looked up at the ceiling and whistled.

Suddenly, Lu Beichen stood up and walked to the back. Ming Ming held her breath, but he walked straight past her—turns out he was going to Yin Muya.

Ming Ming drooped and lay face down on the desk, swaying back and forth.

“Xiao Xinx i a classmate.”

A voice sounded beside her. Ming Ming turned her head and saw that it was Lu Beichen standing next to her.

She sat up abruptly. “Ah, w-what’s up?”

“You haven’t been coming to class much before, so you’ve missed quite a lot. These are my notes—you can take a look.” He handed her a notebook, filled with neat, careful notes for various subjects. Ming Ming quickly thanked him.

At this time, Yin Muya also sat down next to her and said with a bright smile, “Beichen prepared this especially for you. If you need anything in the future, just ask us.”

Ming Ming was deeply moved.

“The male and female leads are really good people,” she sighed while staring at Lu Beichen’s back. “I’m not being self-centered or anything, but I think this male lead is definitely interested in me.”

System: “Are you sure? This male lead is pretty ordinary, and you don’t really feel anything for him. Why are you paying him so much attention?”

“Based on how things went before, he might end up being the one who walks to the end with me. So of course I’d have some extra expectations—like, even if he isn’t handsome, he might have a beautiful soul or something…” Ming Ming twisted around in her chair. “He even prepared notes for me. He’s such a good person.”

“What about the female lead?”

“The female lead?” Ming Ming said matter-of-factly. “Isn’t the female lead always a good person? If she weren’t, could she still be the female lead?”

Tsk. Hard to say.

After school, Ming Ming saw a big G-wagon parked at the school gate from far away. Xiao Yunmu was leaning against the car, flamboyantly accepting everyone’s stares.

“Brother, why did you come pick me up?” Ming Ming ran over happily.

Xiao Yunmu flicked her nose lightly. “Aren’t you full of energy? Why were you so unhappy at noon?”

Ming Ming giggled. “I’m happy now.”

As if performing magic, Xiao Yunmu pulled out a small box of snow mochi from behind him. “Here. Obedient kids get rewards. A little sweetness.”

Ming Ming threw herself at him and hugged him. “Brother, you’re such a good person. I love you!”

“Alright.” Clearly enjoying it, Xiao Yunmu patted her head. “I bought you an apartment near here. You’ll stay there during this first week of school.”

Ming Ming suddenly looked up. “Huh?”

Her eyes clearly said: You’re trying to starve me to death.

But her mouth said, “Brother, don’t you want me anymore?”

Xiao Yunmu poked her forehead, speechless. “The chef is coming too. I’ll be staying there with you. I’m not throwing you here alone.”

“That’s good, that’s good.”

Xiao Yunmu snorted lightly. “Get in the car.”

“Beichen, did you see that? That’s my real brother. All of this should have been mine. The one who should’ve lived so easily should have been me!” In the distance, seeing Ming Ming and Xiao Yunmu interact, Yin Muya was grinding her teeth in hatred.

“Calm down. Your expression is too obvious,” Lu Beichen said.

Yin Muya took a deep breath and hid all her emotions.

Before they left, she quickly stepped forward, threw an arm around Ming Ming, and said with a bright smile, “Oh wow, Xiao Xinx i, your family came to pick you up?”

Then she brightly greeted Xiao Yunmu, “Hello, brother. I’m Xiao Xinx i’s classmate, Yin Muya.”

Xiao Yunmu nodded.

Yin Muya hung half her weight on Ming Ming, which was a bit heavy—Ming Ming’s waist was practically bending. But Yin Muya talked very fast, chattering endlessly with her. Lu Beichen also stood beside them, occasionally joining in. Ming Ming chatted with Yin Muya while sneaking glances at Lu Beichen, not paying much attention.

“Xiao Xinx i, if you don’t understand anything, just come ask us. Don’t be afraid of falling too far behind. Beichen and I both have good grades—we can teach you.”

“Oh.” Ming Ming thought, My grades aren’t bad either. Why are you assuming I’m bad at studying?
Who would teach who wasn’t even certain.

Well, they meant well.

“No need to worry. I’ve specifically hired a tutor to teach her at home. You’re all classmates of the same age. There’s no ‘who teaches who.’ You should focus on your studies and not be distracted,” Xiao Yunmu said, pulling Ming Ming to his side. He gave Yin Muya a flat glance and patted Ming Ming’s shoulder. “Tell your classmates goodbye.”

Ming Ming waved at the two of them and crawled into the car Xiao Yunmu had opened for her.

Xiao Yunmu nodded slightly as well, then got into the car and drove away.

Yin Muya stood there, her face pale.

“It’s okay. He just doesn’t know it’s you,” Lu Beichen comforted her.

“Yeah, he doesn’t know it’s me, that’s why he’s so careful to protect that slut. Ha—does he even know what kind of thing he’s raised all these years?”

“Were you hinting at me just now?” Ming Ming asked uncertainly on the way. “That ‘focus on studying, don’t be distracted’ stuff—you were talking about me, right?”

He thinks she’s dating early or something, right?

Xiao Yunmu shot her a smiling glance. “You can think of it that way.”

“Stop ruining my image in front of my classmates! Don’t I need to save face? And they were just being kind—why did you speak so directly? Those two classmates are really nice. They were afraid I’d fall behind since I haven’t come to school for a while, so they specially lent me their notes.”

“Is that so?” Xiao Yunmu said indifferently. “I spent a ton of money hiring teachers to teach you at home, and I’ve never seen you this grateful to me.”

“That’s different,” Ming Ming pouted. “I already knew you were a good person. But I only found out they were good people today, so of course I should be more grateful to them.”

“So Miss Xiao here has always been ‘only laughing with the new, never seeing the old cry,’ right?”

“Low-key, low-key,” Ming Ming waved her hand shamelessly.

Xiao Yunmu asked casually, “It’s only your first day, and those two classmates are already that enthusiastic toward you?”

“Yeah!” Ming Ming had been worried about her school life, but now it looked like she might be able to get along great with the male and female leads again.

Sigh… but the question was: blond guy or male lead?

That was the real problem.

Ming Ming was immersed in her own world and didn’t notice Xiao Yunmu giving her a frustrated look.

Earlier, when they were talking, that female classmate had repeatedly tried to steer the topic toward him. He didn’t respond, and Ming Ming couldn’t tell. The matter passed just like that, but the deliberate looks she had thrown at him made him uncomfortable.

Beside him, Ming Ming was happily opening her mouth wide, dramatically devouring the snow mochi. Xiao Yunmu thought to himself: This girl really is stupid. Better to keep her by my side where I can watch her, so she doesn’t get sold off and end up counting money for someone else.

Good people?

Other than me, where are there any good people?
