Chapter 236 Humble As She Was
Tangled, heartbroken, hesitant, a mess of emotions.
Su Tao held the candied hawthorns behind her with one hand, clutching her chest with the other, amidst the turmoil of feelings, she didn't forget her purpose in coming here.
An apology!
Even if Xiao Cheng still hates me!
I still have to say it, even if I get scolded, I just want to talk to her!
Su Tao suddenly looked up, her eyes firm, with a touch of red bloodshot, she took a step forward, and said very seriously and loudly, "Xiao Cheng, I...I came to apologize!"
After speaking, she bowed down at a 90-degree angle, offering a skewer of candied hawthorns forward with both hands.
Like presenting flowers as a confession.
Su Tao didn't dare to look up, stammering, "This gift...the gift is something I just bought, I...I'm broke, I've been eating at...at Dongfang Yang's café, shamelessly, so..."
"So, I will definitely prepare a better, more important gift for you later!"
After Su Tao finished speaking, she didn't dare to breathe loudly.
Originally, she wanted to elaborate on all the wrong things she had done in the past, and then talk about how to correct them in the future, taking the attitude of writing an academic journal paper to gain Xiao Cheng's forgiveness.
But the moment she saw Chi Xiaocheng, and heard her say she didn't want to see her, Su Tao's mind was in a mess.
The apology was just an apology, without even saying where she went wrong.
Now, she was prepared to be further disliked or even hated by Chi Xiaocheng.
Who knew, a still calm voice came from her ear, "Okay, I forgive you."
"Huh?"
Su Tao looked up in astonishment, her eyes full of disbelief.
What did Xiao Cheng just say?
Did I just...hallucinate?
Chi Xiaocheng said lightly, "What are you still standing there for?"
"No...I..." Su Tao slowly straightened up, still not daring to look Chi Xiaocheng in the eye, just stealing a few glances, "Xiao Cheng forgave me so easily? I thought..."
"Oh, since you say so, then I won't forgive you."
Chi Xiaocheng interrupted Su Tao's words, her tone still calm.
But this made the girl anxious.
She quickly came to Chi Xiaocheng's side, "Don't, Xiao Cheng, please forgive me, okay? I really know I was wrong, I used to...anyway, I did everything wrong in the past, and I will definitely correct it in the future, so please don't hate me, okay?"
The girl's voice was very anxious, but with a hint of humility.
The ups and downs of the past few days ultimately failed to allow her to continue to think rationally.
The corners of Chi Xiaocheng's lips raised for an instant unintentionally, and then she quickly suppressed it. She said slowly to Su Tao, "Then help me peel open the sugar paper of the candied hawthorns, and I'll forgive you."
Su Tao was overjoyed when she heard this.
Even if she was slow, she knew that Chi Xiaocheng was now a little bit of a temper and a little bit of emotion, not like before, with undisguised disgust in her eyes.
She quickly tore open the package of the candied hawthorns.
There were only 4 candied hawthorns in this skewer, but they were all very big.
When Chi Xiaocheng took it, her cherry-like mouth opened wide to bite down on the whole thing.
Su Tao asked cautiously, "Is it sweet?"
"So-so."
Chi Xiaocheng chewed on the candied hawthorns, this time she really couldn't help but raise her small mouth. She, like Su Tao, preferred sweets.
And these candied hawthorns were already so sweet that they were a bit cloying, and they tasted really good.
It's just...the answer to you can't be sweet.
Seeing that Chi Xiaocheng didn't speak again, Su Tao organized her words aside. She began to apologize to Chi Xiaocheng according to what Professor Su had said earlier.
Relying on that guess of chaotic memories, she began to disassociate herself from Ye Liang, who was already dead.
She didn't know Ye Liang was that kind of person.
She was deceived by Ye Liang, so she didn't take care of her.
This time, Su Tao didn't try to excuse herself, she also admitted many of her mistakes.
Although many of the memories were chaotic, the memory of one thing was not chaotic.
That was the summer vacation after high school, she and Chi Xiaocheng had a fight.
After that, due to various reasons, she didn't see Xiao Cheng for several months.
In this way, the originally lovely her, step by step, walked towards being a yandere.
Now, recalling that time, Su Tao couldn't help but feel guilty and couldn't raise her head.
Originally, Chi Xiaocheng's parents only planned to let her study at a local, very bad, unaccredited university, thinking that it was close to home and she could come back at any time.
It was she, Su Tao, who overruled everyone and brought Chi Xiaocheng to Kyushu City, a big city, to study at a good university.
At that time, Chi Xiaocheng's parents, who had raised her for more than ten years, also entrusted Xiao Cheng to her with peace of mind, telling her to take good care of her.
But what was the result? Before even going to college, they had a quarrel.
Far away in a foreign land, she was alone in this unfamiliar environment.
Now Su Tao was extremely remorseful, wanting to slap herself a few times, unable to understand how she could have been so bad in the first place, actually neglecting Xiao Cheng, her real family, because of that scumbag Ye Liang.
Having taken the wrong path step by step in the past, she would now try her best to save it.
During this period, Chi Xiaocheng had already eaten two candied hawthorns.
After she fell silent, she slowly lowered her head, "Actually...I never really blamed you."
"Really, Xiao Cheng?!"
Su Tao excitedly grabbed one of Chi Xiaocheng's hands.
Her eyes lit up a little.
Chi Xiaocheng nodded lightly, "I know you definitely wouldn't ignore me, just a little annoyed that you clearly said you would always be on my side, but at that time, you scolded me."
Su Tao didn't know which memory Chi Xiaocheng's "scolding" referred to, but it was never wrong to admit her mistakes first.
Chi Xiaocheng continued, "Then I also misunderstood you, I'm sorry..."
"No, no, no, it's all my fault, Xiao Cheng doesn't need to apologize."
"And also..." Chi Xiaocheng hesitated again and again, and finally took back the hand that was being held by her, "I don't know why, but I always have a feeling of rejecting you, even though I know in my heart that you have always been very good to me in the past, but..."
"But I just can't say it, I feel a little uncomfortable when you get close to me."
"I can't control this feeling very well."
Chi Xiaocheng took a breath, "So, please give me some time to adjust, okay?"
After Su Tao heard Chi Xiaocheng's words, and looked at her turning her head to one side.
The light in her eyes dimmed a little, and then turned into a little confusion.
The misunderstanding was resolved, but why was it still like this?
She didn't quite understand, but she was content that Xiao Cheng could say that.
Things had to be solved step by step, and she could ask Doctor Cheng about things she didn't understand later.
She smiled and nodded lightly, "Yeah, it's good that Xiao Cheng doesn't hate me, and then...can I still take care of you like before?"
After speaking, she looked expectant.
As humble as she was, she even needed permission to take care of someone.
