Chapter 150: The Death Of Chi Xiaocheng
"Orange juice! Orange juice! Orange juice!"
"Why do you always make me drink orange juice!"
Su Tao shrieked the words, almost with all her might, her beautiful hair disheveled, tears welling in the corners of her eyes.
She gritted her teeth, unsure if it was anger or fear, her shoulders trembling incessantly.
A series of incomprehensible questions hammered at Chi Xiaocheng's heart. "Xiaocheng, can you tell me?"
"Why do you think I like orange juice?"
"Why do you always force me to drink orange juice? Such a reddish thing isn't healthy, why do you insist I drink it!"
"Is this what you consider love for me?!"
"Do you know how scared I am, how much I hate orange juice!"
"Every time I drink it, I feel sick to my stomach, it makes me nauseous. Why on earth did I persuade myself to drink this stuff over and over again, and why did I drink it in the first place!"
Delicious?
Liked?
Addictive?
What a joke!
She was a person.
A normal person!
How could she possibly like drinking such bright red orange juice!
Even if you said it was red wine, a little deception would be one thing.
But in front of someone, a white knife goes in, a red knife comes out, and the orange juice is squeezed out little by little?
Su Tao had countless nightmares about such scenes and would wake up in a fright.
How could anyone like such a heavy love, such orange juice!
And you talk about forced love?
Hahahahaha...
Si Chen, this kind of thing is simply impossible!
Seeing Chi Xiaocheng with her head bowed, giving no response, Su Tao couldn't help but step forward and shout in an even louder voice, "Tell me, why?!"
The words she had suppressed in her heart for so long finally poured out, and Su Tao felt an incomparable sense of relief at that moment.
She didn't care what happened next, nor did she want to consider Chi Xiaocheng's reaction.
This was a quarrel!
She just wanted to tell Chi Xiaocheng that she no longer wanted to drink her orange juice!
Perhaps hearing Su Tao's innermost thoughts, or perhaps having already guessed that Su Tao would refuse, Chi Xiaocheng lowered her head and did not further darken.
Instead, her voice sounded a little lost as she asked, "Then besides orange juice, what reason do I have to make Taotao stay by my side?"
"Heh heh, keep me by your side?"
A scene from her first lucid dream flashed through Su Tao's mind: Chi Xiaocheng's so-called "keeping by her side" meant eliminating everyone else?
Her voice also became frantic as she retorted, "Haven't I always been by your side? You talked about this little dark room game, and I've always listened to you and played with you!"
"Does that not count as being by your side?!"
"But what about you?"
"Why did you go looking for Sister Long from the snack supermarket, and for my mentor, while I was sleeping!"
Chi Xiaocheng explained, "I was doing it for your own good, they all..."
"Disturbing my life, is that also for my own good?!"
Su Tao shouted again, cutting Chi Xiaocheng off. "Your 'for my own good' means sending them all to the hospital, their lives unknown?"
"Now it's just them, but who will it be next? Chen Qian? Xiao Wei? Dongfang Yang? Or Si Chen?"
"Will you only be satisfied when everyone around me is gone!"
Isn't this the outcome in the dream?
Your so-called love, is it just your pathological excuse?
"And you say that besides orange juice, you don't know how to keep me? Haven't I always been by your side!"
The lack of perspective and mutual understanding forged such a misunderstanding.
Chi Xiaocheng's emotions were inherently unstable; she had realized the fact of her own illness yesterday and had noticed Su Tao's exhaustion last night.
After belatedly waking up, she began to show concern for her.
But in reality, wasn't she also a powder keg ready to explode?
I can give everything for you, deal with those who bully you, so why do you still not look at me properly, why are you still avoiding me!
Chi Xiaocheng raised her head, her crimson vertical pupils suddenly fixed on Su Tao. "You say you're by my side, when have you ever been by my side!"
"Taotao, do you really think I don't know?"
Chi Xiaocheng walked step by step towards Su Tao.
And Su Tao, intimidated by the cat-like pupils, gradually regained a bit of composure. While a trace of fear arose in her heart, she subconsciously retreated towards the balcony.
"You... what nonsense are you talking about again?"
Su Tao's voice trembled slightly.
Chi Xiaocheng's voice was sinister. "I'm talking nonsense?"
"Why don't you talk about how you've always pretended to like me?"
"When I confessed to you, was it false that you avoided me and went to find your fiancé?"
"You said in the hospital that if I confessed, you would definitely accept, so why didn't you confess to me then!"
"You said you wanted me to become well-behaved, but when I became well-behaved, where were you!"
Chi Xiaocheng continued to press closer, "Pretending to like me, taking a tiny bit of time each day to eat a meal with me, thinking that's caring for me, thinking that's accompanying me?"
"Aren't you just enjoying my obedience and warmth, while simultaneously avoiding my love for you!"
Su Tao was forced back to the balcony door, her back pressed against the very thin, icy cold glass.
The sudden impact on the back of her head finally made Su Tao regain a bit of sanity.
She had just said too much, to the point where Chi Xiaocheng was the one completely ignited instead.
Yet the pent-up frustration and fear in her heart still made her refuse to admit that what Chi Xiaocheng said was true.
Unable to come up with a retort, she could only loudly snap back, "I didn't!"
Chi Xiaocheng slammed her palm against the glass door behind Su Tao. "Then why, after we argued that one time last summer, did you ignore me for months, and even kept speaking up for Ye Liang!"
The glass door let out a 'thud', leaving Su Tao completely frozen in place.
This was a killing blow, and irrefutable.
Countless people had given her analyses.
Doctor Cheng, Si Chen, and Doctor Chen, who was with Dongfang Yang, had all told her.
The main reason Chi Xiaocheng became so obsessive was because of Su Tao herself.
And she, however, had always been unwilling to take responsibility because of fear.
Everything seemed to be her own doing.
Su Tao didn't even have time to explain anything when Chi Xiaocheng's tears already fell, her pupils gradually becoming clear. "Taotao, do you know, even so, I never blamed you!"
"You say you don't like my orange juice, but if I don't hurt myself, if I don't do such extreme things, how will you ever pay attention to me?"
"I want to gain your affection, your gaze, your embrace, your care... I want to gain your love!"
Chi Xiaocheng covered her chest with one hand, tears streaming down.
Her crimson vertical pupils returned to normal in that instant.
There was no trace of her obsessive state; what she had just said was the truest voice from the bottom of her heart.
It was also her most vulnerable side.
I want to gain everything from you, even if it's just a tiny bit.
Across from the building, a ray of light, seemingly refracted sunlight, shone upon Su Tao.
As if to dispel the mist around her.
And it was at this moment that an alarm suddenly blared in Chi Xiaocheng's heart.
The sun had just risen this morning; for the glass on the opposite building to reflect sunlight over here, it would be at least ten o'clock in the morning. So where was this light coming from now?
An unprecedentedly strong sense of alert came from the rooftop of the building across the street.
Su Tao was tentatively reaching out a hand.
Just then.
"Bang—!"
A deafening gunshot, accompanied by a faint flash of light, echoed from the building opposite.
How fast was the bullet's velocity?
Normal people, aside from a subconscious dodge triggered by a sixth sense pre-warning, simply couldn't react.
Su Tao was the same; her outstretched hand trembled, and with all her might, she could only turn her head towards the direction of the sound.
Fear overwhelmed everything; her body became rigidly stiff with horror.
The threat of death made her realize that this shot was aimed at her.
However, someone beside her moved faster than the bullet.
Chi Xiaocheng didn't hesitate in the slightest; she instinctively lunged towards Su Tao. Aided by her potential unleashing skill, her movements were faster than the bullet!
She forcefully pushed Su Tao away by a step, but the piercing sound of the bullet shattering glass was already terrifyingly close.
"Screech—!"
A sharp pain shot through Chi Xiaocheng's entire body from her nerves, and in her ears, another panicked scream echoed.
"Xiaocheng!"
