Chapter 24 Do You Know What A Yandere Is?
Even before bringing Chen Qian under her wing, Chi Xiaocheng had already considered it.
Su Tao would certainly be completely confused about her current situation. Due to Chi Xiaocheng's unique circumstances, Su Tao wouldn't discuss it with Ye Liang, Dongfang Yang, or others like them, so she would inevitably seek out someone else to inquire about Chi Xiaocheng’s condition.
Now, only two months into university, among the supporting characters close to Su Tao, Chen Qian was one who was still lying low.
As long as Su Tao asked Chen Qian about Chi Xiaocheng, Chi Xiaocheng would have a lot of room to maneuver.
Thinking this, Chi Xiaocheng messaged Chen Qian, "What did she tell you?"
Chen Qian replied, "She said strange things, like someone who was perfectly normal suddenly became weird, having fits and feeding blood to others."
Chen Qian added, "You're playing a big game, feeding blood to Su Tao?"
Chi Xiaocheng asked, "Why do you think it was me?"
Chen Qian retorted, "You told me to stay out of sight around her, wasn't that just to deceive her? Just tell me how you want me to respond to her."
Chi Xiaocheng felt a slight embarrassment.
Was it that obvious?
She sent a WeChat ID over. "Have Su Tao add this account. This is a professional psychologist."
Chen Qian asked, "A psychologist?"
"Just tell her it's someone you know well and that they're very reliable."
Chi Xiaocheng quickly switched to a WeChat alt account and logged into another one of her burner accounts.
This psychologist account was precisely one she had created. Both its Moments content and contacts were impeccably faked.
As for how she managed it, that credit went to a skill she had drawn in a single pull from the system last time: Hacker (Intermediate).
Chi Xiaocheng hadn't thought this skill would be very useful initially. The original owner was just an ordinary student, and she was already grateful not to start with debt, having no money to buy a series of hacking tools.
Without even zombie computers, what kind of hacker could she be?
But then she reconsidered. Even without tools, having acquired the knowledge, she could still perform some basic concealment of her own information.
For example, setting up this rather perfect psychologist alt account.
And for example, she knew Dongfang Yang, Ye Liang, and others would investigate her changes, so she disseminated quite a bit of information that could mask her becoming strange.
Like bullying.
The original owner had always been bullied, and Chi Xiaocheng could completely use bullying to explain her psychological changes.
Given Su Tao's character, if I were bullied, she would surely blame herself for not protecting me, right?
Although Chen Qian didn't know why Chi Xiaocheng wanted to do that, she still followed her instructions and recommended the psychologist's WeChat to Su Tao.
Then she found a few excuses.
Not long after, Su Tao added Chi Xiaocheng's alt account.
Chi Xiaocheng cast a side glance at the wall to her right, as if she could see Su Tao sitting on the hospital bed holding her phone, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, a cute sight.
A faint smile lifted the corners of her lips, and she sent the first message.
Doctor Cheng: Hello (handshake emoji).
Taozi: Hello Doctor, I’m very sorry to bother you.
Doctor Cheng: It's alright. As a doctor, it's normal to help patients with their worries, and besides, you were recommended by my distant niece. Please go ahead and tell me what the problem is.
Taozi: It’s like this, I have a friend, and because of certain things, someone close to her has become very strange. I’ll just organize my thoughts a bit and try to explain it as briefly as possible.
Seeing this message, Chi Xiaocheng chuckled aloud.
The classic 'you have a friend' line.
"Tao Tao, being so naive makes it very easy to be tricked."
Chi Xiaocheng decisively exposed Su Tao's disguise. "Miss Taozi, I am a doctor, and we are complete strangers. Perhaps you think my expertise isn't good enough, and we can just unfriend each other. There's no need to be evasive. If you don't tell me the truth, how can I analyze it specifically?"
The long message made Su Tao in the next room flush scarlet.
She subconsciously didn’t want to face Chi Xiaocheng’s strange state.
It was also a difficult thing to talk about.
"Sigh, she even recommended her distant uncle to help me, I can't let down her good intentions!"
So Su Tao calmed herself down.
She began to chat with Chi Xiaocheng, "Doctor Cheng," about everything that had happened recently.
First, the basement, then the rooftop.
She particularly emphasized Chi Xiaocheng's severe self-harming tendencies.
Finally, she asked, "Doctor, why do you think she became like that?"
Chi Xiaocheng pretended to think for a long while, then typed back, "A significant change in a person's personality usually happens gradually after they experience something unacceptable."
"Did your friend ever feel a sense of disparity because of something you did?"
When Su Tao saw this message, she immediately thought of Chi Xiaocheng saying she loved her.
So she replied, "Yes, we grew up together since childhood. She was bullied once, and I helped her. At that time, she already had some psychological issues and felt very insecure."
"So I often comforted her with things like 'You are the most important person to me,' or 'I will never leave you,' and I actually meant those words."
"For many years, there were no problems. Now that we're in university, many boys are pursuing me. She misunderstood this situation and began to self-harm, saying things like she loves me and begging me not to look for anyone else."
"Doctor, is it possible that Xiaocheng has developed the wrong kind of feelings for me?"
Wrong kind of feelings?
Of course not.
I super love you, Tao Tao!
Muttering this inwardly, Chi Xiaocheng typed back with a serious expression, "That's also possible. Long-term lack of love and insecurity can lead to mistaking dependence for love."
Taozi: So that's how it is, I guess. After all, we're both girls, and her saying she loves me really gives me a headache.
Doctor Cheng: But that possibility is very small. According to your account, she forced you to drink blood and wanted to jump off a building. I think she might truly love you.
Taozi: Huh?
Taozi: But... but we're both girls.
Doctor Cheng: That's not the point.
Taozi: Th-th-that's not the point?!
Doctor Cheng: I've treated countless patients, and there have been so many cases involving same-sex relationships. In my opinion, it's very normal. As long as there's love, gender can still be transcended.
Doctor Cheng: Anyway, I've gone off-topic. The point is your Xiaocheng's condition.
Doctor Cheng: From my many years of experience, she is, nine times out of ten, inseparable from you. This is a type of unsound psychological illness, its severity comparable to common depression.
In the room next door, Su Tao was stunned. Because she had been completely led by Chi Xiaocheng, she didn't even notice some loopholes in the chat messages.
She just anxiously asked, "Doctor, please don't keep me in suspense."
Doctor Cheng: Miss Taozi, don't worry yet. Have you ever heard of people known as yanderes?
"Yanderes?"
