Chapter 231 That Was Supposed To Be My Spot!
For this girl, from the moment Su Tao met her, all the way to the point where she was deeply etched in her memory, she hadn't exchanged many words with her.
She only knew a little about how Chi Xiaocheng and Fang Ning knew each other, how long they had known each other, and the nature of their relationship and feelings.
The majority of her impressions of this girl were blank.
The time the two spoke the most was actually that snowy night in front of the residential complex after Xiaocheng died.
Fang Ning had bitterly scolded herself, and it was because of her that she was able to gradually see things clearly.
The estrangement and cracks also started at that time.
Now that she thought about it, before, when she went in and out of the dormitory, hadn't she always heard her sweet voice saying, "Sister Su Tao"?
It was just that she, under immense pressure, had ignored that greeting every time she passed the dormitory entrance.
Wasn't that, in a way, like offering her warm face to a cold backside?
Looking at Fang Ning standing in the corner of the elevator, Su Tao stood at the door, feeling like she couldn't go in, but she couldn't not go in either.
But she also wanted to see Xiaocheng.
Su Tao steeled herself and simply went in.
But as soon as she walked in, Fang Ning, who had originally been facing the elevator door, suddenly turned around.
She faced the wall, leaving Su Tao with a side profile, her small face obscured by her hair, which reached her hips, making it impossible to see her expression.
The obvious little gesture seemed to be telling Su Tao: I don't want to talk to you right now.
She was clearly here to see Xiaocheng too.
Su Tao hesitated again and again, but still spoke to Fang Ning, "Um, Fang Ning? You're here to see Xiaocheng too, right? Did you know she's awake?"
"I know," Fang Ning replied without turning around or looking back, her tone indifferent.
The unexpected response took Su Tao by surprise.
If the two were originally just passersby, then because of Chi Xiaocheng's death, even that most basic of passerby relationships couldn't be maintained.
Su Tao's impression in Fang Ning's mind had already dropped to a very low level.
But if Xiaocheng woke up, she should be happy, so Su Tao used that sentence as a starting point.
But Fang Ning already knew?
When did that happen, yesterday?
Before she could open her mouth, she saw Fang Ning turn around again, glancing at her sideways, "I'll leave after dropping off the fruit. I won't disturb you, so please don't come in with me, thank you."
Her words were full of rejection towards Su Tao.
Although she was trying to keep her tone calm.
But Su Tao still heard a trace of expectation in her words.
She was looking forward to seeing Chi Xiaocheng.
That feeling was probably no less intense than her own.
Her gaze fell on the bag of fruit she was holding, three or four scattered apples, and a particularly eye-catching, even dazzlingly bright orange.
She seemed afraid that the fruit would fall to the ground.
The orange, along with the apples, was held tightly in her arms.
With a "ding," the elevator doors opened.
Fang Ning lowered her head, her face hidden by her long hair, and quickly, quickly rushed out of the elevator, heading towards the location of Chi Xiaocheng's room.
Su Tao understood what she meant.
She only had a little bit of time before work to see Xiaocheng.
And Su Tao had a whole day to spend with Xiaocheng.
So since you have so much time, please don't disturb my little bit of time with Sister Xiaocheng.
Following Fang Ning's footsteps, Su Tao walked out of the elevator, silently lowered her head, and her footsteps slowed down.
Finally, she stopped at the corner leading to Chi Xiaocheng's room.
Su Tao didn't know if Fang Ning was at the door of Xiaocheng's hospital room.
Or if she had already gone into the hospital room.
If she were to see her following her here at this time, Su Tao would probably feel even more ashamed.
But she also wanted to know what the two of them were talking about, and whether Xiaocheng would be as indifferent to Fang Ning as she was to her.
One step could take her around the corner and then to Chi Xiaocheng's hospital room.
However, that one step was like an insurmountable chasm.
Su Tao hesitated for a long time, but couldn't help but take that step.
Fang Ning wasn't in front of the hospital room.
This made Su Tao breathe a sigh of relief. She was afraid that she would take a step and then see Fang Ning standing in front of the hospital room looking at the corner where she was, and then their eyes would meet.
What would they talk about?
Sitting together awkwardly?
Chatting about meaningless small talk?
They might even be talking about things from before Xiaocheng lost her memory, even talking about her from the past!
Su Tao felt a blockage in her chest and quickly came to the window of the hospital room.
Squatting down, she peeked inside from the corner of the window.
What she saw next made her pupils dilate.
Chi Xiaocheng was sitting on the hospital bed, her pink lips constantly opening and closing, one hand gesturing, and when she talked about something that made her happy, she even reached out and smoothed the hair on her cheek.
Her expression conveyed irrepressible joy.
And Fang Ning was sitting on a small stool, her face also wearing a smile, chatting along, while also slicing a peeled apple into small pieces for her.
When she reached out and handed it to her, the latter naturally ate the apple.
Judging from the shape of her mouth, she didn't even say thank you.
The lack of thanks meant that they weren't strangers, and perhaps such interactions were already very normal behaviors in their subconscious.
At the same time, the sunlight shone in, the morning sun gently illuminating the two little loli, and the dust in the air floated like scattered mist, making the scene dreamlike and beautiful.
Just now, she only felt a little blocked up, but after seeing this scene, Su Tao felt very heartbroken.
She knew that the two of them weren't doing anything intimate.
They were probably just chatting about everyday things.
Because Chi Xiaocheng's memory of Fang Ning was normal, without pain, Fang Ning hadn't been erased in her confused memory.
So it was normal for them to be able to chat like ordinary friends.
She should be happy that Xiaocheng had other friends to confide in and chat with.
But why...
Why did she feel so uncomfortable even with such a simple interaction?
That was supposed to be my place!
Xiaocheng woke up, and I was supposed to be by her side, chatting with her, peeling apples for her, and feeding them to her, then chatting about happy things, and both of us smiling.
That script was supposed to be for me!
If Chi Xiaocheng didn't hate Su Tao, she wouldn't have had this kind of mentality.
She would have just regarded Fang Ning as one of Xiaocheng's friends, and it would have been reasonable for her to come and see Xiaocheng after her serious illness.
But she had fallen from heaven to hell, and then watched someone else ascend to heaven and take the place that originally belonged to her, how could she feel good?
Everyone has their flaws, but because everyone's personality and experiences are different, most of them are hidden very, very deeply.
And comparison can cause harm.
With harm, the latent flaws are very likely to be triggered.
For some reason, Su Tao had an absurd thought.
Her Xiaocheng was being taken away by Fang Ning.
