Chapter 1 Cinderella
Chapter 1 Cinderella
Ang Lee sat in the back row of the classroom, his hands on the desk, palms crossed in front of his mouth to conceal his expression, his gaze fixed on the female students in the first two rows.
Perhaps because it was raining heavily today and she accidentally got her shoes and socks wet, the girl took off her shoes and white socks and put them to dry on the side. Her pair of clean and soft little feet were clearly visible under the table, sometimes tiptoeing and sometimes kicking.
Although her little movements under the chair looked playful and cute, Ang Lee wasn't a foot fetishist; what attracted him wasn't her beautiful feet, but the top of her head.
Cinderella
The three large golden characters, enclosed in a black frame, exude an incredibly strong presence.
As Li An withdrew his gaze from the other person, a blue panel appeared before his eyes.
Name: Li An
[Existing Character: Prince Charming Lv.1 (You can foresee the dangers the princess is about to face)]
This panel suddenly appeared after he arrived at the classroom and took his seat today, as if a cheat code had been awakened.
He initially didn't believe it, wondering if he had been performing too many top-secret Delta evacuations the previous night, causing him to experience hallucinations due to the mental strain.
After all, he wasn't a time traveler or a reincarnated person; he was just an ordinary college student.
But after trying various methods such as rubbing his eyes, pretending to be asleep, and even pinching his legs, he had to admit a fact.
He wasn't dreaming; he had indeed awakened a cheat ability.
After receiving the golden touch and scanning the entire class, he gradually realized the situation.
He not only has his own persona, but he can also see other people's personas.
For example, he saw the label "academic star" above the head of the top student, and the label "gold digger" above the head of the prettiest girl in the class.
Everyone has a frame above their head, but it's mostly a reflection of their personality, such as being "reservedly passionate," "cowardly," "reckless," "immature," "lecherous," or "obvious."
Just as he was exploring his new world, a female classmate, who was late because of the heavy rain outside, rushed into the classroom before the first class, wearing a golden hat with the word "Cinderella" on it.
Compared to the other students' characters, her character is too special, like opening a treasure chest and suddenly getting a golden legend, which is really eye-catching.
That alone wouldn't be enough to capture Ang Lee's attention for an entire class.
The key point is that after he recognized the other person as Zhong Lixue, who was in the same department and class, a terrifying scene suddenly appeared in his mind.
In the light drizzle, Zhong Lixue stood at the crosswalk at the intersection, holding an umbrella and playing on her phone while waiting for the traffic light to turn green. This should have been an ordinary day, until a BMW suddenly crashed into her.
"Screech—!" The rapid sound of tires rubbing against the ground suddenly rang out.
With a loud "thud!", she was violently struck and thrown by the BMW, only coming to a stop after hitting a wall.
Zhong Lixue's body went limp on the hood of the car, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, her face filled with shock, and she died on the spot.
18: 23: 49
The sudden death scene was ultimately frozen on the time display.
This scene was bloody and shocking, and Ang Lee was truly terrified.
After regaining his senses, he stared at Zhong Lixue's retreating figure and fell into deep thought for the entire class period.
The death imagery clearly demonstrates that "Prince Charming" has achieved his intended effect, as he is able to foresee the danger the princess is about to face.
At 18:23:49, Zhong Lixue will be involved in a car accident and die on the spot.
After realizing that the scene was a death omen, Ang Lee began to ponder other questions, such as why Zhong Lixue was a "Cinderella."
Compared to everyone else's character design, Zhong Lixue's character design is very special, even the font color is a unique gold.
The story of Cinderella is a world-renowned fairy tale.
In short, it's about a naturally beautiful woman who, under pressure from her family, uses the principle that clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse, to rise to a higher social status and become a phoenix.
However, in his memory, Zhong Lixue was not considered a beauty in the class.
She has long bangs, her black hair is simply tied up, she wears thick-rimmed black glasses, always keeps her head down, and her outfit is always a T-shirt and trousers.
After the girls got into university, they all let loose and started to learn how to dress up and wear skirts shorter and shorter. Zhong Lixue, who rarely changed her clothes, was like a country bumpkin and very inconspicuous.
Despite this, she still managed to get the golden Cinderella persona.
In conclusion, there are only two possibilities.
The first type is that she has two completely different faces on and off campus.
Even if she is inconspicuous on campus, like a nobody, once she leaves school, she will dress up and transform into a great beauty.
The second type is someone with potential.
She is in the early stages of Cinderella's life; once the glass slipper arrives, she will amaze everyone.
After careful consideration, once Ang Lee had figured out the character traits of Cinderella, only one problem remained for him: how to save her.
I would rather trust it to have it than to trust it to have nothing.
Even though he had nothing to do with Zhong Lixue, and they hadn't even spoken a word to each other in the two months since the start of the semester, at most their eyes had met a few times before they tacitly looked away, pretending not to see each other, now that he had seen the death omen, he couldn't ignore it.
He also wanted to verify whether Prince Charming's ability to foresee danger was real or not.
……
The school bell rang, signaling the end of the day's classes.
Although there are classmates in university, only required courses will be held in the same classroom. Depending on the elective courses, students often go their separate ways.
Zhong Lixue packed up her textbooks, got up, grabbed her schoolbag and the umbrella at her feet, and walked out of the classroom.
Walking down the corridor of the teaching building, she could hear people talking from time to time:
"What's the deal tonight? Are we still going to Xinghe Internet Cafe?"
"Of course we'll go, but it's still raining heavily outside, let's eat at the school cafeteria first."
Hearing her classmates chatting and laughing, Zhong Lixue's fingers tightened slightly as she held her schoolbag, but she quickly suppressed her envy and quickened her pace to leave.
If she could, she would like to go out and play with her friends after school, just like everyone else.
But she ran out of money and had to take on a part-time job.
Since her mother passed away and her father remarried, her situation at home has become increasingly difficult in recent years.
Although her father paid her tuition for a year after she was admitted to Jiangcheng University, her stepmother had a very unpleasant expression and had a big argument with her father about it. Her stepmother said that it was useless for girls to go to university, that they would eventually get married and be like water spilled from a cup, and that they should go to work as soon as possible.
That argument also caused her father's plan to get her new glasses and a laptop to help with her studies to fall through, and the agreed-upon monthly allowance of 2000 yuan was reduced to 1000 yuan.
Given this situation, it's questionable whether she'll even be able to go to university next year; she needs to find a way to earn money.
Zhong Lixue paused at the entrance of the teaching building, but she didn't stay long. She picked up her umbrella, opened it, and walked straight into the torrential rain.
The rain is heavy and has been falling all day; it seems like it will never stop.
As she stepped into the rain, a tall figure appeared at the entrance of the teaching building.
"Are you in such a hurry to leave even though it's raining so hard?"
Looking up at Zhong Lixue's silhouette in the rain, Ang Lee murmured to himself, then picked up his umbrella, opened it, and stepped out into the torrential downpour.
He had initially thought that it was still raining heavily after school and hoped that Zhong Lixue might change her plans and stay at school to finish her coursework in the computer lab before leaving.
Many computer science students do this: they choose to stay on campus and chat, not in a hurry to go out, planning to wait until the rain subsides a bit before leaving.
But now it seems that even if he does nothing, other people's fates will not be rewritten.
