Chapter 135: Yandere Xiaocheng, Returns (Bonus Update)
Several more days passed. In the blink of an eye, the first week of December was already over.
Under the blessing of system skills, Chi Xiaocheng recovered quickly and was now able to get out of bed and walk around a little.
Su Tao's body had long since fully recovered. Not only had she returned to her usual busy life, but she could even brave the winter chill to go out and exercise early in the morning.
One day, when Su Tao was changing clothes in her hospital room, though she was fully covered and nothing was revealed, her alluring 'vest line' still made Chi Xiaocheng exclaim how delightful it was.
Truly the perfect protagonist from the book, not just in personality and looks, but also with a perfect figure.
Meanwhile, Chen Qian had also sent the latest news.
"Ye Liang wants me to be an undercover agent and drug you and Su Tao. I pretended to agree and even made him eat that apple. Now he's recovering very poorly and says he spent a fortune finding new people to target you and Su Tao. You need to be careful. Also, he gave me fifty thousand yuan, probably to buy me off. He said he'd give me more later, and hundreds of thousands after the job is done. He's really promising the world. That Ye Liang is truly disgusting. He keeps narcissistically saying that if I do a good job, he might give me a chance to have dinner with him or something, and he even specifically 'allowed' me to temporarily take care of him. He even said it was a reward for me, making me work myself to death taking care of him, a patient. What nerve does he have to call that a reward? He might as well just give me more money. Fortunately, with that excuse, I forced him to eat the whole apple. As for the fifty thousand yuan, I'll transfer twenty thousand to you, Chi Xiaocheng. I also gave ten thousand to Xiao Wei. Just let me know if you need anything else; I'll send you messages from Ye Liang's side!"
This was truly a case of high risk, high reward!
What Chen Qian did was utterly beyond Chi Xiaocheng's expectations.
Because the exact timing of her feigned death was uncertain, Chi Xiaocheng's original intention was to give Chen Qian a so-called fake antidote, to both win her over and prevent any unforeseen incidents after a few months of her 'death'.
She never expected Chen Qian to infiltrate the enemy's inner circle. This minor character, who only lasted ten or so chapters in the original novel, was truly experiencing a second spring in life.
What excited Chi Xiaocheng even more was that Ye Liang had eaten the poisoned apple. The bad luck neutralized his fortune, and he no longer had the protagonist's halo. Whether the world's will would stand by him was irrelevant; if there was a chance to eliminate Ye Liang later, there would be no more unexpected obstacles!
Having personally experienced the great escape in Su Tao's car, Chi Xiaocheng truly understood the power of these 'halos'. A novice driver, slippery snowy roads, late night with extremely low visibility, reckless pursuers, even guns, and a broken bridge. Despite such peril, after Su Tao escaped, she only sustained a small cut on her forehead. This meticulously planned great escape wasn't even as stressful as Chi Xiaocheng giving Su Tao some orange juice.
Her only concern was Chen Qian's warning that Ye Liang had spent a fortune to deal with the two of them. As long as that guy isn't dead, she really can't rest easy!
As for now, Chi Xiaocheng, enjoying Su Tao's care in the hospital, was naturally as well-behaved as could be.
But for the short term, everything was fine. She was about to be discharged and would then spend a long time at home with Tao Tao. Even if something unexpected were to happen, they'd have to go out first, right?
As time flowed by, soon, it was the day of Chi Xiaocheng's discharge.
Professor Su handed a large pile of medicine to Su Tao and instructed, "You must make sure she takes these medicines every day, understand? What's important is her mood; you need to soothe her emotions!"
Professor Su's words carried a hidden meaning, but Su Tao understood what she meant. Chi Xiaocheng's mental state had improved now, and she absolutely couldn't be provoked like last time. If they couldn't confirm in the short term whether her good behavior was faked, it was best to agree to all her conditions.
And Su Tao, indeed, was prepared for this. Even prepared to face Chi Xiaocheng's yandere tendencies head-on.
After giving her instructions to Su Tao, Professor Su reached out and ruffled Chi Xiaocheng's head. "And you, little one, make sure to eat on time and get enough nutrition, understood?"
"Thank you, Aunt Su, see you next time~"
Chi Xiaocheng nodded obediently and waved her small hand to the professor who had taken care of her for over a week.
Next time they met, perhaps it would really be her feigned death.
Walking hand in hand towards home, Chi Xiaocheng, who hadn't left the hospital the whole time, savored the fresh air outside.
"Tao Tao." She called out to Su Tao from her side.
"What is it?"
Chi Xiaocheng raised an innocent yet expectant smile. "When we get home, when can we play games together? Tao Tao's been busy again these past few days, and I don't even know what Tao Tao's been doing."
"I want some time to be alone with Tao Tao~"
Her obedient smile inexplicably sent shivers down Su Tao's spine. These past few days, just like last month, Chi Xiaocheng had been a little too well-behaved. Su Tao even wished Chi Xiaocheng would throw a small tantrum; it would make her feel more normal. Because hidden beneath this obedience was a yandere state that made one's heart palpitate.
But now Xiao Cheng was capable of communication, so it was different from before.
Su Tao feigned ignorance and asked, "So, what kind of game does Xiao Cheng want to play?"
"The Dark Room Game!"
Chi Xiaocheng looked foolishly expectant. "Keeping Tao Tao at home. What she eats and drinks will all be decided by me. She won't be allowed to step one foot out of the house."
Su Tao keenly caught the key point in her words. "Is that the entire house, or just the room?"
"The whole house," Chi Xiaocheng said breezily. "After all, I can't cook, and usually, Tao Tao has to bother with making meals."
She understood now; it wasn't the same kind of terror as being confined to a room like last time. It was literally just staying at home.
What's the big deal? It's just staying indoors for three days and spending that time with Xiao Cheng. That's far too simple. In fact, Su Tao herself quite enjoyed spending time with such a well-behaved Chi Xiaocheng. The two weekend days, Saturday and Sunday, would be perfect for observing Chi Xiaocheng's yandere condition.
So Su Tao nodded. "Then let's agree: Xiao Cheng needs to tell me the time in advance. I'll finish my own affairs, and then I'll properly accompany Xiao Cheng."
"Mhm, Saturday starts the day after tomorrow. How about three days to start?"
Three days... one extra day, but that's fine. To start with, she'd just indulge Xiao Cheng.
Su Tao smiled and nodded. "Okay, whatever Xiao Cheng wants."
"I love Tao Tao the most!"
Chi Xiaocheng happily hugged Su Tao, then planted a faint 'hickey' on her cheek, skipping forward cheerfully into the wind.
And this happiness made Su Tao smile as well.
Such a daily routine, truly wonderful.
Another day passed.
Chi Xiaocheng spent several hundred 'emotion points' and finally completed the necessary preparations. Without Su Tao by her side, she no longer needed to use her intermediate acting skills to play the good girl. Instead, she transformed the room, filled the refrigerator with three days' worth of food, and prepared many large bottles of orange juice with pulp.
Then, toying with a familiar fruit knife, she raised an eerie smile and sent a message to Su Tao, "Tao Tao, when are you coming over to play the game? I'm all ready~"
The pain of betrayal when you abandoned me on Binjiang Bridge—I haven't forgotten it at all.
