Chapter 202: Her Flower (Bonus Chapter For Bringing Hope'S Cuckoo)
Before the stage, Su Tao hesitated again and again before finally reaching out and grabbing a wrist.
But turning her head to look at the dance floor, at the couples dancing so happily, even the male-male and female-female pairs, she released her grip again.
The person in front of her cocked their head. "What's wrong?"
"Never mind."
Su Tao shook her head. "Tang Tang, this kind of thing is too easy to misunderstand."
The young person addressed as Tang Tang flipped their slightly long, short hair. "If people misunderstand, so what? Besides, if I hadn't come over just now, you would have been surrounded by at least twenty or thirty young masters."
"You know, the more you refuse, the more excited they get, because they see you as a difficult target to conquer. Whoever wins you over can brag about it in this circle for a long time."
Tang Tang earnestly explained to Su Tao, "Don't think you can just say no and be done with it. If they find out you don't have any backing, they'll stick to you like glue, and you won't be able to shake them off."
Tang Tang hadn't expected to see a former middle school classmate at this banquet representing her family. In her memory, Su Tao was an orphan. At first, she thought she had mistaken someone.
Fortunately, although her appearance had changed in the years since they'd last met, her aura and feeling were still the same.
Seeing Su Tao surrounded by a group of young masters, she decisively stepped forward to help her out.
But even after she arrived, the gazes and discussions of the crowd still lingered.
Tang Tang said helplessly to Su Tao, "I'm telling you, Su Tao, we're both girls. You're normal, and I'm normal. What's there to misunderstand? Besides, with my current image, who wouldn't call me a 'young man'?"
"And 'young man' is a neutral term, suitable for both male and female."
"Though, the fact that I'm shorter than you is undeniable."
Of course, Su Tao knew what her old friend was thinking.
Accepting an invitation and entering the dance floor meant you were taken.
Everyone present was someone of status, so very few would try to snatch someone else's flower.
But precisely because of that.
Su Tao hesitated again and again before sighing and refusing. "Never mind. It's just a little annoying being bothered by them. A 'brother' I'm close to will be here soon, and then it will be fine."
She had her own flower.
Even though that flower had already withered and was now working hard to be reborn.
She still didn't want to betray it in this way.
Even if it was just a misunderstanding.
Otherwise, Xiao Cheng would be unhappy, right?
Su Tao took out her phone and looked at the message Si Chen had sent: "I've found the doll. I'll bring it to you later. You just enjoy the birthday banquet for now. Don't look so anxious, like you've lost your soul. It's not a good image."
Tang Tang watched Su Tao's expression change and shrugged helplessly. "Well, it seems you've been through a lot in the past few years. But if you don't know how to refuse those who come to chat you up, obviously going out for a walk would be much better."
"Coming to the dance floor as if you're window shopping will only give people the signal that you're still single."
Su Tao composed herself and offered a smile. "Yes, thank you, Tang Tang. How about we go out for a walk? A lot happened in middle school, and I still want to thank you."
Tang Tang said, "Maybe next time. I'm here on a family mission too. I hope you have fun at the birthday banquet."
She waved her hand and left the dance floor.
Su Tao, on the other hand, walked towards the back door of the hall in the opposite direction, obviously wanting to go out for a walk.
This scene fell into Chi Xiaocheng's eyes, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But Su Tao's hesitation when reaching out to grab that person's wrist still made her feel uncomfortable.
Even if it was just for a moment.
Just a moment!
Clearly, I'm the only one who should hold your hand.
Why did you have to touch someone else?
Ever since she became abnormal, her thinking had become somewhat extreme, and she valued the word "security" more than ever before.
Chi Xiaocheng had thought that once her affection and possessiveness reached the passing mark of 60, she could relax and slowly develop things.
But now it seemed that she couldn't relax until it reached full value.
Sitting on the windowsill in a daze, she suddenly heard a familiar voice. "Ah, as expected, you ran back here on your own."
Chi Xiaocheng subconsciously turned her head and realized it was Si Chen.
The fact that a scarecrow could move was being revealed to someone else.
But Chi Xiaocheng was in no mood to care about that right now.
Her mind was full of the scene from just now.
Her mind was full of her Tao Tao.
Si Chen walked to the window, curiously looking at her. "When I saw the red light in this doll's eyes, I knew something was wrong. The camera is installed in these eyes, right?"
He clicked his tongue in admiration. "You can't tell at all that this stuffed animal is a high-tech creation. You faked your death and then secretly controlled this mechanical doll to observe Su Tao's every move... How did you get your hands on this high technology? I want one too."
Chi Xiaocheng glanced at Si Chen again.
People with high IQs really are different.
They can come up with their own explanations.
If it were Dongfang Yang, he would definitely shout something like, "Oh my god, a ghost!"
Si Chen picked up Chi Xiaocheng and said slowly, "There should be a listening device in the doll too, right? You're not talking, so I guess that function wasn't installed. All in all, the effect of this faked death is pretty good. Su Tao talks about you every day."
"And Chi Xiaocheng, you know me. I've always been on your side."
"So, there's something I need to explain to you. I, Si Chen, will never love Tao."
"Last time, I really thought you were dead. I was afraid it would affect our plan, so I... tested you. Anyway, it was all an accident."
"Actually, I've already carved the words 'Never Love Tao' on my back, and even gilded it. When you wake up someday, I'll show it to you when I have time."
"So, think about it calmly. About your fake death. I won't ask too much. Enough said. Now, I'm going to take you back to Su Tao and pretend I just found you outside."
After saying these words carefully, Si Chen took her and searched for Su Tao in the banquet.
Compared to Si Chen's explanation and concern, the system was far more nervous.
[Host, you need to calm down! Maybe there's a reason Su Tao did that. We finally got her affection to the passing mark! If you put pressure on her, it won't go up!]
[She's starting to like you. That old routine of the little black room and... pretending to be a yandere, doesn't work anymore!]
The system was worried that Chi Xiaocheng would lose her mind again.
But apparently, the worry was unnecessary.
In the past, Chi Xiaocheng would have felt that she was pretending to be a yandere.
But before, she had realized her abnormality and was still trying to maintain rational thinking.
It was the same now.
She replied in her mind, "Don't worry, System. Pressure will never get me Tao Tao's love. I know that. Only good things, things that make people happy and enjoy, can earn dependence and love."
"What I originally wanted was to come clean with Tao Tao after I woke up and live our two-person world."
"But..."
Chi Xiaocheng thought of the data in the status window. "Affection can be cultivated slowly. At least possessiveness has to be full first, so Tao Tao won't look for someone else, right?"
She had a new plan for what she would do after waking up.
