Chapter 172 Meeting Cheng Cheng In Person
Going outside – these two words felt distant to Su Tao right now.
Her life used to be rich and busy.
But after losing Chi Xiaocheng, she realized she had no reason to go out.
What was the point of studying hard? Who was she striving for a good future for? And even going out to work and earn some living expenses, she didn't even need to buy groceries and cook for Xiaocheng anymore.
She ate alone at home.
She would sleep in after going to bed at night, until noon. She'd cook enough rice for two or three meals, including dinner, then fry a couple of eggs. She wouldn't even go out to buy things, and wouldn't even spend ten yuan a day.
There was no need to go out at all, and there was no one to go with her anymore.
But she heard a faint, dissatisfied voice in her ear, "What, don't tell me you're still lying on the sofa?"
Chengcheng's reminder came again, making Su Tao stiffen.
She was indeed still lying on the sofa.
"You could even guess I was still lying on the sofa?"
Su Tao muttered to herself, but still got up and walked towards the room, "Wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes."
Su Tao picked up her phone and looked out the window.
The sun was bright and radiant.
A rare winter sun, with a moderate temperature that didn't require her to wear a thick, heavy down jacket.
She returned to the room and took off her pajamas.
"Hiss!"
Suddenly, she seemed to hear a gasp.
Did it come from the room?
Or from Chengcheng on her phone?
The sound wasn't loud, and Su Tao didn't hear it clearly, but she did feel a hint of being watched.
She looked around, but the curtains were completely closed.
It felt a little unnatural, but... it didn't seem unpleasant.
Of course, Su Tao didn't know that as she was changing, a straw doll hidden in the corner was frantically covering its mouth.
The doll's little hands were short, making it difficult to cover its mouth.
Luckily, it was daytime, so no one could see the strange red glow in the scarecrow's eyes.
It had been over two months.
Chi Xiaocheng never imagined that she had slept with Su Tao countless times, and they had even kissed, but there had been very few scenes like this of her changing clothes!
She never expected that she would accidentally see such an intimate scene after she died?
"Forgive me, forgive me, I didn't mean to look at Tao Tao, it's just that I like her and can't take my eyes off her."
Chi Xiaocheng, now a small doll, silently recited a mantra about emptiness and form in her heart, and then boldly looked on.
There was nothing she could do, she was a doll and couldn't move or look away.
Su Tao moved quickly and was soon dressed.
She wore a gray knitted sweater as an inner layer, with a brown cotton sweatshirt on top, and originally wanted to wear a pair of thermal leggings.
But she remembered something Chi Xiaocheng had once said.
"These can't be worn outside, they can only be worn at home!"
That was from a possessive, obsessive love.
Now that she thought about it, being possessed in that way, wasn't it a kind of happiness?
Su Tao changed into a pair of simple cotton pants, then picked up her phone and walked towards the door, "Chengcheng, are you still there?"
Even after she walked into the living room, Su Tao didn't get a response, "That's strange, the call is still connected."
A while later, just as she was about to leave, she heard a voice from her phone, "Ahhh, I just stubbed my toe on the chair, I went to put something on it. Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah, shall I go to Yangyang Cat Cafe and wait for you?"
"OK, it'll take me half an hour by car, you go ahead."
"Okay."
Su Tao hung up the phone and went outside. After thinking for a moment, she turned around and went back to Chi Xiaocheng's room.
"Your Majesty is leaving, taking you back to your hometown."
"Meow?"
Only when the warm sunlight shone on her body and she smelled the mixture of snow and dirt, did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"I haven't been out for so long, I'm a little unaccustomed to it."
She took out her phone again and used the screen as a mirror to take a look at herself.
Her hair was a little messy, and she looked a little listless.
She reached into her pocket for a hair tie to tie up her long hair, but after fumbling around, she realized she hadn't brought one.
"Xiaocheng, do you have any extra hair ties, can I borrow one..."
Su Tao subconsciously looked to her side.
Her words stopped abruptly.
Forget it, she couldn't be bothered to tie her hair anyway, the person who liked to praise her beautiful hair was gone.
She went out and hopped on a shared bike.
Enjoying the breeze on her face, Su Tao soon arrived at Yangyang Cat Cafe first.
Before the shared bike had even stopped completely, Da Wang jumped out of the basket and excitedly ran towards the cat cafe.
"Oh? Da Wang, why did you run back?"
Xu Ran, holding a kitten, opened the door for Da Wang, who had darted over.
"Meow!"
Da Wang meowed, as if greeting Xu Ran, and then entered the cat cafe, seemingly to reassert its dominance here.
Xu Ran looked up again and saw Su Tao walking over, "Miss Su, I'm disturbing you again."
"Welcome, this cat cafe is very unpopular, I'm just hoping more people will come to chat with me."
Xu Ran also opened the door for Su Tao, then looked around.
Su Tao asked in confusion, "What are you looking for?"
"Nothing." Xu Ran asked curiously, "Didn't your Chengzi come with you?"
Instantly, Su Tao's somewhat relaxed smile stiffened.
Then gradually faded.
"She's busy for the time being, I'm here to meet an online friend this time."
"Oh, I see. Please come in, what would you like to drink, coffee?"
Su Tao scanned the QR code for two hundred yuan. She had originally wanted a glass of juice, but after glancing at the special options, she was silent for a moment.
"I'll have an orange Americano, please... extra sugar."
Then Su Tao sat in the chair she had sat in last time, staring blankly at a blanket where the cats were.
Last time, Xiaocheng was on that blanket when she took Da Wang home.
Now, Da Wang was still on the blanket, commanding its little brothers, but that cute girl with tea-colored hair was gone.
This place was also one of Su Tao's few good memories.
After sitting for about ten minutes, the door of the cat cafe opened with a "ding."
A petite girl with long brown hair, wearing a mismatched gray coat, came in from outside.
She was wearing black-rimmed glasses and kept blowing on her small hands as she entered, "Wow, the sun's out, but it's still so cold, thankfully there's air conditioning here, I'm alive."
The girl looked around, her eyes pausing on Xu Ran for a few seconds.
Then she turned to look at Su Tao, took off her glasses for a look, and put them back on, "Hello, you must be Taozi, sorry I'm late."
But Su Tao looked at the girl in a daze, "Xiaocheng?"
The girl's smile froze for a moment.
Then she came to Su Tao's side naturally, "Although some people call me Xiaocheng, most people call me Chengcheng."
