Chapter 228 Desire And Inner Demons
Both were about recovering memories. Both were about treatment.
Complete amnesia and confused memories were two entirely different matters.
If it were the former, wouldn't I avoid being hated by her, and could even tell her many past stories right from the start? Then, with Dongfang Yang, Si Chen, and others as witnesses, I could take her home, let her hug Dawang. Wouldn't that make her feelings return more quickly?
She could even quietly erase the painful things that had happened, keeping them to herself and not letting Xiao Cheng know.
Unrealistic thoughts repeatedly flashed through her mind. Su Tao simply decided to be direct and state her current thoughts to Cheng Cheng.
She had barely begun when Cheng Cheng quickly sent a message, interrupting her: "Wait a moment! I don't even know the extent of Xiao Chengzi's confused memories. Don't just go on talking to yourself!"
Su Tao gave an awkward laugh, "Sorry, I got a bit lost in my own world. Let me tell you about it."
She recounted Chi Xiao Cheng's confused memories after waking up once more, but each repetition made her mood sink a little lower.
Finally, she confessed that she had actually thought it would be better if Xiao Cheng had complete amnesia, rather than just confused memories. The words she typed into the dialogue box were inevitably tinged with a touch of heaviness.
Cheng Cheng was silent for about half a minute before sending a message: "Taozi, you really only think about yourself, don't you?"
Taozi replied immediately: "I'm sorry."
Cheng Cheng: "Have you considered Xiao Chengzi's feelings? Completely blank, like a piece of white paper, with all her colors for you to fill in."
Cheng Cheng: "You could effortlessly possess her, change her, and instill in her the thoughts you 'like'. Would such a Xiao Chengzi still be Xiao Chengzi then?"
Looking at the words in the chat, Su Tao's face turned red with shame. Even though the thought only lasted for a moment, she had still entertained it. It was indeed too selfish toward Xiao Cheng.
But Cheng Cheng's next words made Su Tao pause again.
Cheng Cheng: "However, putting myself in her shoes, if I were Xiao Chengzi, I'd actually be quite happy you had such a thought."
Taozi: "Why?"
Cheng Cheng: "Because it's a sign of your desire to possess her! Making her lose her memory, then completely filling that blank slate with your colors. If you didn't care about her, you wouldn't say such a thing."
Cheng Cheng: "From a yandere's perspective, this would certainly be appealing."
Su Tao stuck out her tongue. "I only thought about it. Even if Xiao Cheng truly had complete amnesia, I wouldn't do that!"
However, Cheng Cheng did remind her of one thing.
Yandere!
Xiao Cheng, with her confused memories, had no recollection of ever being a yandere. This point was not noticed by Si Chen or even Dr. Lin!
Then, would she, having "recovered to normal" like this, still become a yandere in the future?
Su Tao quickly told her friend Cheng Cheng about this discovery.
Her friend replied: "That's a very good angle to consider. Over the past two days, have you observed any other changes in her compared to before?"
"Specifically, changes related to her yandere tendencies."
Su Tao recalled the only two or three times she had interacted with Chi Xiao Cheng. Her yandere tendencies were rarely discernible from her appearance; it was hard to tell if she was about to "act up." But Su Tao did notice one thing.
Taozi: "Her eyes aren't as unsettling as before. How should I put it? Her gaze has become much clearer and colder. Does that count?"
Although it might be an illusion, whenever Chi Xiao Cheng "acted up," Su Tao felt those crimson pupils were terrifying, and sometimes they even seemed to glow. Now, she felt none of that.
Cheng Cheng pondered for a moment. "If the trigger for her yandere tendencies before was you and Ye Liang, now Ye Liang is dead. And with her confused memories, there are no outward signs of her turning yandere."
"Then, Taozi, do you think there's a possibility that Xiao Chengzi... that she won't 'act up' anymore?"
Su Tao stared at the few lines of text on the green chat background, her pupils contracting. Cheng Cheng was like a witch who could peer into hearts and read minds, painstakingly digging out everything Su Tao had been thinking deep down and laying it bare on the table.
Under the green background, message after message arrived.
"Thinking from another angle, because of this memory confusion, Chi Xiao Cheng is no longer a yandere."
"With Ye Liang gone, she won't repeat her past actions, won't 'act up' against you."
"You see, without this beginning, all future hopes and fantasies are meaningless!"
"Didn't you long to cure her yandere tendencies?"
"You want to have a perfect Xiao Cheng, right?"
"She's well-behaved, loves you dearly, calls you by your favorite endearment, and no matter what you say, she'll obey you, spoil you, cling to you, and love you."
"Even her little tantrums and playful teasing would only become seasoning for your relationship."
"Even more importantly, without her yandere tendencies, she would still be as devoted as before in her promise to never leave you."
"From now on, you would never be hurt, never be stressed, and never have to painfully, frantically scream about what to do. You'd simply enjoy her sweetness and affection, forever."
The words on her phone seemed to come alive, gradually drawing out Su Tao's deepest yearnings. Or, perhaps, her true desires.
She loved Xiao Cheng, but it wasn't merely a simple affection. She had been afraid, terrified, fled, regretted. Looking at these past few months alone, even including this last month of sudden realization, the pain and pressure Chi Xiao Cheng had brought her far outweighed any happiness and joy she had felt. The fundamental reason was just two words: yandere tendencies!
And now, there was a possibility of eradicating Xiao Cheng's yandere tendencies!
With a "ding-dong," another message from Cheng Cheng was sent.
"Taozi, based on what you said earlier, those doctors concluded that Xiao Chengzi didn't genuinely hate you, and that it was more likely her acting out that led to things worsening, right?"
"Then, isn't it true that you two will eventually clear up the misunderstanding and reconcile?"
"Once you've reconciled, you'll have endless time to rebuild your loving relationship and slowly make her fall for you again."
"Isn't this precisely the scenario you just envisioned? She'd have complete amnesia and never become a yandere again."
"Never becoming a yandere, only bringing you happiness—what a beautiful future that would be!"
Cheng Cheng, at this moment, was like a true demon. Every word she spoke resonated deeply.
"Taozi, do you really want Xiao Chengzi to regain her memories, and then turn back into that terrifying yandere?"
