Chapter 107 She'S Adorable And Warm When She'S Good
The moment Chi Xiaocheng’s gaze fell upon her.
Shadowy Xiaocheng sat with her hands clasped on her lap, leaning gently against the sofa. Her black formal dress was elegant and natural, making her appear like a young lady of noble birth.
Only, the playfulness of her smile gradually morphed into mockery.
Seeing Chi Xiaocheng lost in thought, Su Tao couldn't help but follow her gaze, turning to look toward the sofa. "What are you looking at, Xiaocheng?"
Meeting Su Tao’s eyes, Shadowy Xiaocheng smiled and waved in greeting.
Chi Xiaocheng swallowed a gulp and slowly asked, "Tao Tao, there seemed to be a figure on the sofa, did you see it?"
"A figure?"
Su Tao frowned, taking another careful look. "There's no one there."
She then looked back at Chi Xiaocheng, her eyes showing a hint of worry.
Chi Xiaocheng blinked again, realizing that after Shadowy Xiaocheng greeted Su Tao, she was gone.
She let out a breath and rubbed her temples. "It’s probably because I didn’t sleep well after having a nightmare last night. I’m fine."
"Good to hear you're fine."
Su Tao reminded her, "Remember to take your medicine after breakfast, okay? It would be troublesome if there were any lingering effects from all that makeup applied to your face last time."
"No problem~"
Seeing this, Su Tao finally ate her porridge with peace of mind.
Taking Chi Xiaocheng to get medicine, partly to prevent skin ulceration, but these medications also contained auxiliary drugs to help soothe her mood and mind.
She couldn't be told the specifics, but the treatment couldn't be delayed.
After a simple breakfast, as expected, Su Tao received a message from Chen Qian.
The rigid old professor had taken attendance at eight in the morning, and she and Xiaowei's cover-up failed; their names were noted down by the old professor.
Su Tao sighed helplessly.
Chi Xiaocheng looked up. "What's wrong, Tao Tao?"
"Nothing, just got marked for skipping class."
Hearing this, Chi Xiaocheng lowered her head. "I'm sorry."
Su Tao didn't blame Chi Xiaocheng; instead, she asked, "Speaking of which, Xiaocheng, you haven't been to class for many days, have you? At this rate, you're probably going to fail a lot of subjects this semester, aren't you?"
It was early December, and the semester was already halfway over.
Chi Xiaocheng's expression stiffened, and she guiltily turned her head away. "I don't want to go to class."
Classes were so boring in her last life, and she couldn't make any friends, so Chi Xiaocheng had even less desire to go in this life.
It was simply a waste of time.
Su Tao propped her chin in her hand and asked, "So what do you do with all that time when you're not in class?"
"I go to Dongfang Yang's cafe to help out."
Su Tao raised an eyebrow. "Besides that?"
"Occasionally, I also read."
They were all psychology books.
Seeing Chi Xiaocheng being evasive, Su Tao continued to press. "You must have a lot of free time if you don't go to class. Dongfang Yang hardly says anything even if you don't go to his cafe."
Being pressed like this, Chi Xiaocheng lowered her head even further. "The rest of the time... part of it was spent in the hospital, and part of it was figuring out how to get money."
Hospitalized...
Hearing those two words, Su Tao's initial line of questioning got stuck in her throat.
Only then did she recall that Chi Xiaocheng's time spent in the hospital was not much less than her time outside.
Frequent follow-up appointments were even more common.
She pursed her lips and changed the subject. "Never mind, let's not talk about that. The snow outside doesn't seem too heavy. Let's go out for a walk."
"Don't you need to go to class?"
"I've already skipped, and you're more important than class."
Hearing this, a touch of sweetness bloomed in Chi Xiaocheng's heart, and she immediately ran into her room. "I'll go change."
A hint of sweetness also welled up in Su Tao's heart.
This was exactly what she wanted—a cute, well-behaved Xiaocheng.
If only she hadn't become yandere, if only she could stay this cute and innocent forever.
Going out for a walk to relax could also be considered part of the treatment.
The main thing was simply to be with her.
Not long after, Chi Xiaocheng emerged from her room, her petite frame nestled within a fluffy white coat. The collar and cuffs were trimmed with a circle of soft fox fur, making it look fluffy and somewhat luxurious.
Her feet, clad in thick cotton socks, were tucked into a pair of brown snow boots, with bows tied around the ankles, a decoration specially suited for a girl.
A sky-blue scarf was gently draped around her neck, and she wore a knitted hat with a pompom, its tassel gently swaying, as if, along with the scarf, it sought to conceal the cuteness of her charming face.
Su Tao's eyes couldn't help but light up. "Xiaocheng, are those new clothes you bought?"
Chi Xiaocheng smiled shyly. "My brother bought them for me. The coat does seem a bit large, though."
It was precisely because the coat was large that Chi Xiaocheng appeared even more petite.
Su Tao couldn't help but reach out and pat her head, praising her, "Adorable."
"But why aren't you wearing gloves? It's very cold outside."
Chi Xiaocheng held out her fair, delicate hand, spreading her five fingers. "I don't need gloves. Holding Tao Tao's hand is also very warm."
"You win."
Su Tao took a glove from her pocket. "Wear one of mine."
"What about the other one?"
"I'll hold your other hand."
Her little thought was quite obvious, but Su Tao didn't dislike it.
Ever since Chi Xiaocheng ate the delicate soft candy, her skin had been getting better and better.
That smooth, tender little hand, Su Tao could never bear to let go of it whenever she held it.
Su Tao opened an umbrella, and the two walked out.
Chi Xiaocheng couldn't help but ask, "Tao Tao, where are we going?"
"To the cat cafe we talked about last time."
Continuing the date plan that Ye Liang had interrupted last time.
And this time, there weren't as many unexpected incidents when they went out.
The two strolled along, successfully arriving in front of the cat cafe.
The moment Su Tao closed the umbrella, Chi Xiaocheng noticed that not a single snowflake had landed on her own shoulder, but Su Tao's shoulders were covered with quite a bit of white.
The latter shivered, took a step forward, and pushed open the door. "Come in, Xiaocheng. It really is cold outside."
She leaned against the door, holding it open, as considerate as a maid attending to a young lady, waiting for Chi Xiaocheng to enter.
One's character can often be discerned from the details.
Su Tao's thoughtfulness wasn't deliberately displayed.
The longer she was with her, the more Chi Xiaocheng could feel that consideration in every aspect of her life.
She happily narrowed her eyes and walked into the cat cafe.
With a 'ding-a-ling' sound and a rush of warm air, a girl's voice came from inside the door. "Welcome to Yang Yang Cat Cafe~"
Looking up, three girls were sitting there, holding various breeds of cats, while reading books and doing exercises.
"Hardly anyone comes here in this weather," one of the girls remarked, holding a cat as she approached Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao. "What would you two like to drink? If you're just passing by and need a rest, we also offer a free cup of coffee."
Su Tao looked at the price list next to her.
Petting cats costs 30 yuan per hour.
For 100 yuan, you could pet them all day, plus there were small perks like free power outlets, snacks, and coffee.
Su Tao couldn't help but curiously point to the sign nearby. "This place is quite out of the way. Can it really make a profit with these prices?"
The girl holding the cat smiled. "The young master said this cat cafe was just for fun, and whether it makes money or not doesn't matter. If you two like cats, all the cats here can be adopted for free."
Essentially, this was a stray cat rescue center.
After domesticating and nurturing the stray cats, they were given to genuine cat lovers, providing the kittens with a home.
Yang Yang Cat Cafe. That Dongfang Yang really doesn't know how to name things.
Su Tao had always wanted to keep a cat, but pets weren't allowed in the dorm.
She felt a little tempted, and couldn't help but look at Chi Xiaocheng. "What do you think, Xiaocheng?"
She turned her head to see Chi Xiaocheng looking around, so she reached out and waved her hand in front of her eyes. "Xiaocheng?"
"Huh?" Chi Xiaocheng came back to herself. "What were you saying, Tao Tao?"
Su Tao asked, puzzled, "You really weren't listening to me, were you? What are you looking for, gazing around like that?"
Looking for what?
Naturally, that was the Xiaocheng who would appear somewhere around her from time to time, shrouded in a dark aura and wearing a black formal dress.
