Chapter 194 It'S A Doll, Not Xiaocheng~
"Host, you're playing dirty!"
"Hmm? How am I playing dirty?"
"Su Tao's mood had just improved, and now you're hitting her with another 'last letter.' Won't she just feel guilty all over again?"
"Relax, Peach isn't going to fall apart like she used to. She's starting to like me now, and she'll live well for my sake."
The scarecrow sat obediently on the table, not minding being face to face with Su Tao.
As long as it didn't move, no one would ever guess that a soul was hidden inside the little doll.
Chi Xiaocheng was still talking to the system in her mind. "I don't have a choice. I need Peach to take me to the birthday banquet to see that divine doctor male lead. If that protagonist dares to have any ideas about Peach..."
A flicker of red flashed in the scarecrow's eyes.
"I'll disguise myself, transform, and then chop him to death!"
Peach can only be mine. No one else can touch her!
"Host, do you know how people will judge you for doing this?"
Chi Xiaocheng: "Hmm?"
"Cunning."
"Cunning but cute, thanks for the compliment."
She remained obediently still on the table.
But this "last letter 2.0," which cost her 100 emotion points to design, was about to change the family hierarchy.
Da Wang, being a cat, was much more sensitive than humans.
It probably smelled Chi Xiaocheng's "scent" in the scarecrow a long time ago, which was why it played with her every day.
As soon as Su Tao came back, it would carry itself over to her.
It knew that Su Tao missed it.
It resonated with her emotions.
So, it would always carry itself over to tell her that it was still alive, to make her happy.
Cats are so perceptive!
But, that's definitely not an excuse for you to throw me around in the air all the time!
In her sight, Da Wang sneaked back into the room, its round little eyes scanning left and right.
Seeing her sitting on the table, its face lit up with joy.
It jumped onto the table in a flash.
Just as it was about to pat Chi Xiaocheng with its paw, Su Tao glared at it, holding a piece of paper, "Da Wang, stop!"
"Meow?"
Da Wang looked at Su Tao in confusion, lightly tapped the scarecrow, knocking Chi Xiaocheng to the floor.
It was about to jump down to pick it up, but found itself caught by another hand.
Su Tao wiped away tears, pointing a finger at Da Wang's innocent big eyes. "This is Xiaocheng's spiritual vessel. I understand that you like it, but you can't bully this doll anymore, got it?"
"Meow meow!"
Da Wang shook its head, indicating it didn't understand.
Then it was thrown out of the room by Su Tao. "No kitty bed for you tonight, and no fish flakes either. Go reflect on your actions outside!"
"Meow?!"
Da Wang tried to resist, but the door slammed shut.
The little tabby cat clawed at the door, its face gradually showing disbelief.
I was the one who stayed with you when you were sad.
You even petted my head and called me cute just now.
And now you're actually—
Hmph, humans!
Su Tao had no idea what a cat was thinking. She put the Chi Xiaocheng doll back on the table and looked at the second last letter again.
Even though it was a fake that Chi Xiaocheng had created yesterday with emotion points.
In Su Tao's eyes, this was the one Chi Xiaocheng had left behind when she first attempted suicide.
It was very meaningful to her.
After carefully putting it away, she sorted out her emotions and went to take a shower.
Afterward, she leaned against the headboard, using an old tablet she had bought secondhand a long time ago to learn the etiquette of attending high-society banquets.
She usually had a cat in her arms, but after Da Wang was kicked out today, Su Tao looked around.
Her eyes lingered on the big brown bear pillow for a few seconds.
As if sensing something.
She turned her gaze to the scarecrow doll.
She put the palm-sized doll in front of her and started watching the videos.
Sure enough, having this little doll by her side gave her a different kind of security.
Just like the sachet before.
Wearing it, accompanied by the faint scent of Chengzi, always helped her fall asleep quickly.
Eating, sleeping, exercising, and learning in her spare time, she also went to the hospital to sit for two or three hours.
Su Tao's regular two days passed quickly.
And the doll, representing her emotional anchor, stayed by her side for longer and longer.
There were still 16 days left until her official resurrection.
On the afternoon of Saturday, Su Tao received a call from Dongfang Yang, "Are you ready? I sent someone to pick you up. Come over to my place first. I've prepared a few dresses for you."
"Okay, okay."
Su Tao had been studying for a few days and was already prepared for today's birthday banquet. Hearing Dongfang Yang's call, she immediately picked up Da Wang, who was lying on her lap.
Slinging a small crossbody bag over her shoulder, she got up and planned to leave.
But as soon as she turned around, she seemed to feel a gust of wind blowing from the balcony. The wind not only brushed against her neck.
It also blew the scarecrow, which was originally on the table, to the ground.
A "thud" attracted Su Tao's attention.
Turning her head to meet the scarecrow's gaze, the pair of crimson vertical pupils immediately made Su Tao feel a sense of unease.
The scarecrow was only lying halfway on the ground, its face and gaze directed toward her due to the way it fell.
But the crystal-like eyes seemed to be conveying a sentence to Su Tao.
--Aren't you taking me, Peach?
For some reason, Su Tao felt that if she went to the birthday banquet like this, something was bound to happen.
If she brought this little doll...
She walked over, and a sense of reassurance came from the doll.
The faint unease was also dispelled.
Sometimes, you really have to believe in your sixth sense.
Su Tao recalled the contents of the letter from last night.
"A doll that brings good luck?"
She murmured, then smiled in relief, "That's right, how can I go to the banquet without Xiaocheng? Let's go together."
With that, she stuffed the scarecrow doll into her bag.
And Da Wang, who originally wanted to follow, was pushed aside with a look of distaste.
The trace of crisis and unease in her heart disappeared completely at this moment.
Walking out of the neighborhood, she waited for Dongfang Yang's people to pick her up, and then went to a small villa where he lived.
At the door, Su Tao also saw two other familiar faces.
Qian Qing and Si Chen.
The two had already changed into their dresses. Qian Qing wore a light blue, off-the-shoulder, fitted dress, and a pair of high heels and light makeup showed off her perfect figure and looks as a mature woman.
Si Chen was much more reserved, only adorning an expensive suit with subtle details.
And Dongfang Yang was different, wearing a fiery red windbreaker like a battle robe, which made him seem flamboyant and arrogant.
He strode out of the door, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Opening his mouth, his flamboyant temperament instantly became cheerful and honest. "Hahaha, Su Tao, you're finally here! Don't you think I'm more handsome than Si Chen!"
Si Chen covered his face beside him, looking like he didn't want to talk to the dim-witted.
He turned to look at Su Tao, "Go change into your dress too. Once you're ready, we'll set off in a bit."
"Okay."
Su Tao nodded and handed the bag to Si Chen. "Hold this for me first."
Si Chen took the bag, feeling that it was bulging inside, as if something was moving. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What did you put in here?"
Su Tao: "A doll, Xiaocheng gave it to me before. It's very cute, you can take a look too."
With curiosity, Si Chen unzipped the bag.
Then, a scarecrow doll with eyes emitting a faint, eerie red light popped out of the bag, staring at Si Chen motionlessly with a friendly smile.
