Chapter 140 After Straight Lines Intersect, There Is Separation
Su Tao only felt a buzzing in her ears, Chi Xiaocheng's shouted words echoing continuously in her mind.
Was I dismissive?
Surely not.
Whether it was her psychological concern for Chi Xiaocheng, or racking her brains to find a way to resolve her yandere tendencies.
She had noted down various methods, including those from several doctors and even from a netizen named Chenchen, along with all the precautions, on her phone.
Normally, she wouldn't even browse forums or fan communities, but recently she had slowly joined some two-dimensional yandere enthusiast groups.
All to understand Chi Xiaocheng's condition and then prescribe the right remedy.
She was incredibly serious when it came to matters like these.
Even in matters of affection, she had never been dismissive.
What she should force herself to do, she would steel her heart to accomplish.
Just like those repeated times she drank the orange juice.
She wasn't being dismissive; she was just avoiding.
She knew this deeply, but how could she explain it to Chi Xiaocheng?
She opened her mouth, but no words could come out.
Meanwhile, Chi Xiaocheng was walking step by step towards Su Tao.
The gleaming fruit knife in her hand looked so chilling; to an outsider, it might seem she could hack at Su Tao any second.
However, Chi Xiaocheng wouldn't do that.
She wouldn't harm her Tao Tao.
She was merely recalling that rejection on the broken bridge, continuously venting her dissatisfaction and despair to Su Tao.
"How many times, Tao Tao?"
"From the very beginning until now, how many times in total have you told me you liked me, and how many of those times were you sincere!"
"When I confessed to you, you rejected me! Yet you still said you liked me, but avoided the questions I asked you."
"But after we left the police station, you knew I was scared, I was heartbroken, you kept saying you cared about me, so what did you do?"
"You went to find your fiancé; the moment he returned, you went to him!"
"You betrayed our agreement, how can you still smile and say you like me!"
As she spoke, a tear fell from Chi Xiaocheng's eye, her smile so desolate, "Tao Tao, have you forgotten? We pinky-promised."
The moment Dark Xiaocheng departed, Chi Xiaocheng already understood.
All that talk about slowly 'conquering' Tao Tao, pretending to be docile to make her fall for me.
Such a thing is impossible!
If I don't hold onto Tao Tao, she will leave me because of various things, and eventually forget me.
"So, Tao Tao."
Chi Xiaocheng wiped a tear with the back of her hand, then lifted a smile, "After what happened this time, after almost dying, I understood. I want you by my side forever, and the best way to do that is..."
"To completely possess you!"
Was she exerting pressure?
No, she wasn't. She was merely showing her true original self, pouring out the thoughts in her heart.
Chi Xiaocheng turned around and picked up the glass of bright red orange juice again.
She held it out to Su Tao, "Come, Tao Tao, drink this orange juice, and I can forgive you just a little bit, you know."
Now, how will you avoid it this time?
Su Tao pressed against the kitchen's glass door, her eyes fixed on Chi Xiaocheng with a complicated gaze, one hand hidden behind her back trembling continuously.
At this moment, Chi Xiaocheng gave her only two words' worth of feeling.
A stranger.
If the incomparably docile Xiaocheng still bore a resemblance to her childhood self.
Now, Chi Xiaocheng, with her crimson pupils and undisguised possessiveness, was completely severed from her childhood image.
No...
It wasn't just now; ever since the basement, the one in her memories and the one in reality had drifted further and further apart.
Orange juice...
Was she unable to escape this curse from beginning to end?
Su Tao reached out, trembling as she took the bright red orange juice.
She had no choice at all.
All that talk about not provoking Xiaocheng further.
From the very beginning, she had already been on the path to 'darkening'.
Feelings of fear and refusal surged into her heart once more, just like...
"Aren't you drinking?"
A soft voice came from beside her ear.
Yes, just like that time on the rooftop.
Chi Xiaocheng's knife was already raised high.
No one could guess which part of her she would try to 'release orange juice' from next.
Su Tao revealed a tragic smile, as if on the verge of breaking down, "Xiaocheng, if I drink it, will you listen to me?"
"No, I won't."
Chi Xiaocheng refused very clearly.
Su Tao opened her mouth bitterly, "Why? I've always liked you when you were more docile; I'm absolutely not lying about that."
"Indeed, you weren't lying." Chi Xiaocheng chuckled, "The docile Xiaocheng is gone, isn't that what you chose, Tao Tao?"
Yes, it was all her own choice.
She hadn't cherished the half-month when Xiaocheng was docile.
Seeing that Chi Xiaocheng was about to use the knife again, Su Tao gritted her teeth, raised the orange juice in the glass, and suddenly poured it down her throat.
Gulp~ Gulp~
Her throat bobbed, and the red liquid in the glass decreased little by little.
Su Tao's eyebrows furrowed, and before she had even finished the entire glass of orange juice, her legs gave out and she collapsed to her knees, head bowed, panting heavily.
Unbearable, unbearable, unbearable, unbearable, unbearable, unbearable...
So repulsive, so repulsive, so repulsive...
No matter how many times, the taste of this orange juice always made her feel nauseated.
Such a Xiaocheng, was there really still a possibility of treatment?
Su Tao turned her head and saw that Chi Xiaocheng had also knelt down at some point, her voice filled with heartache, "Actually, Tao Tao has always hated orange juice, right?"
"I know, you know. Every time you drink orange juice, you look so pained, yet you bravely say you like it."
"Because you hated it, you pretended to like it. I don't dislike that, you know."
Chi Xiaocheng cupped Su Tao's face, her lips curving into a smile, "A good child who does well deserves a reward."
"Mmmph—!"
Su Tao's eyes widened suddenly.
But when the sweetness surged in and diluted the taste of orange juice in her mouth, she still couldn't refuse.
She even involuntarily closed her eyes and began to return the action.
She herself didn't know how much time had passed before Chi Xiaocheng released her, then gently, effortlessly, lifted the weak-limbed Su Tao into her arms.
"If Tao Tao is tired, then rest for a bit."
Chi Xiaocheng placed Su Tao on the sofa, then, without a word, took out a first-aid kit and applied several bandages to herself.
She paid no attention at all to Su Tao, whose face was a mask of pain and struggle.
Because Chi Xiaocheng had already decided: no matter what pleasant words Su Tao said, she wouldn't change her mind.
No longer be the docile Xiaocheng.
If you want to like me, then like me as I am now!
No, you must like me as I am now!
Obsessive, pathological.
While Chi Xiaocheng was deeply mired in this, she herself had forgotten something fundamental and original.
Could such burden and pain truly make someone fall in love?
She turned her back to Su Tao and put the first-aid kit away again.
When she turned to look at Su Tao, she found that Su Tao was also looking at her.
Their gazes briefly met.
Then both looked away.
Just like two lines that had once intersected.
After intersecting, their mutual distance would only grow further and further apart.
