Chapter 242 Not Enough Yet

The next day, at the hospital.

Chi Xiaocheng stood by the window, watering flowers with a watering can. Hearing Su Tao's words, she looked surprised, "We're going to the banquet too?"

"Yeah, yeah, Dongfang Yang said if you wanted to go, we could all go together, just for fun."

"That sounds good! I haven't been out in ages. And now..." Chi Xiaocheng stood on tiptoe, "I'm fine."

Su Tao was still a little worried. "But Xiaocheng, are you really okay? You can barely get out of bed and walk, right?"

Chi Xiaocheng reached up to flick her hair, smiling lightly. "If I really can't walk anymore, you can just carry me."

Su Tao was stunned, as if those words were incredibly exciting. She smiled and nodded vigorously.

She was so happy that Chi Xiaocheng could say something like that.

This was how it should be.

When you need me, Xiaocheng, you can rely on me anytime, anywhere.

Because of that sentence, she was happy all day. Even when Fang Ning came at noon, she didn't act as badly as before.

But in her happiness, she forgot something again.

The question of whether to awaken Chi Xiaocheng's memories was still undecided.

This time, she wasn't avoiding it, just continuing to hesitate.

Subconsciously, she felt that the time to really choose hadn't come yet.

So, there was no rush.

Just wait a little longer.

The night before the banquet, Chi Xiaocheng could already walk around the hospital. Her legs were recovering quickly, and she could walk for almost half an hour straight before reaching her limit.

Her powerful orange cells made Professor Su exclaim about a medical miracle every day.

He wanted to study Chi Xiaocheng, but he had to restrain himself, which made the old professor seek acupuncture every week to ease his overexcited mood.

That same night, after chatting with Su Tao and waiting for her to return to her room, Chi Xiaocheng finally had a chance to secretly take out the status glasses and check her affection levels.

[Su Tao]

[Height: 166 cm]

[Weight: 96 kg]

[Bust Size: C]

[Current State: Guilt, Lack of Confidence, Impatience, Excessive Hesitation, Self-Avoidance, Mild Mental Confusion, Mild Self-Loathing]

[Affection for Host: 99 (She has completely regarded you as the most important person in her life)]

[Romantic Affection for Host: 67 → 71 (Even with existing notions of gender, her affection for you is gradually being acknowledged. Two months of missing you has constantly increased her infatuation. Every time she sees you interacting friendly with others, she feels a faint regret, even jealousy. She had a great opportunity in front of her but didn't cherish it, and now she deeply regrets it)]

[Possessive Affection for Host: 45 → 65 (In a rational state, she can think well, but your dislike and distance make her constantly anxious. The you that once belonged only to her no longer does, making it difficult for her to accept. Self-pressuring, she is rapidly increasing her possessiveness towards you, but she still has a high level of reason and knows what she can and cannot do. She is not a stubborn person)]

The data displayed by the status glasses was a bit unexpected for Chi Xiaocheng.

She thought possessiveness would exceed romantic affection.

Now it seemed that although it had warmed up above the passing line, it hadn't even reached 70.

But thinking about it, it made sense. She didn't even dare to stand up to Fang Ning, so how high could her possessiveness be?

Moreover...

Chi Xiaocheng narrowed her eyes, her gaze fixed on the first sentence of the romantic affection description.

--Even with existing notions of gender.

"Tsk!"

"System, tell me, is there something wrong with Taotao? An affection level of 71, she definitely has feelings for me. Normal couples can confess at 80, but she's still hung up on this!"

[Host... After all, she was straight to begin with. In this situation, having an affection level of 71 for you is already pretty good.]

"She was so addicted and forceful when she kissed me before, but she still hasn't truly acknowledged her feelings."

She was even planning to give Taotao a reward at the end of the banquet.

With this data...

Continue to apply pressure!

[Su Tao is probably only thinking about how to restore your relationship to normal and make you stop disliking her. Romantic affection can increase entirely due to her subconscious self-motivation.]

[Perhaps she herself doesn't realize how much she likes you. You could really focus on romantic affection instead of possessiveness.]

"No way!" Chi Xiaocheng understood what the system meant, but still refused. "Possessive affection must be raised. Even if she likes me, I'm afraid something might happen!"

Frankly, she still lacked a sense of security.

And she stubbornly believed that only when that number reached her expectations could she confidently embrace Taotao and enjoy their mutual affection.

The system was helpless but had to go along with this host.

[Then what's next? Will the host's plan change?]

"Yes, it needs to change slightly. Taotao can't keep hesitating like this. She hasn't even decided whether to awaken my memories yet."

Chi Xiaocheng thought alone in the room, "I need to use other ways to stimulate her."

[Let Fang Ning go?]

"No, I have other plans for Ningning. Besides, Taotao's combat power is too high. If I let Ningning play the role of a 'love rival' to create a crisis for her, Ningning would be in danger if Taotao acted impulsively."

Yes, Chi Xiaocheng planned to "create" a love rival for Su Tao.

Of course, she wouldn't fall in love with anyone else, not even pretend to.

But she could let someone else pretend to like her, giving Su Tao stimulation and pressure.

Before, when she first met Fang Ning, she intended this role for that little girl. Once she and Su Tao had a good relationship, she could naturally play the role of a yandere pursuing her.

Then give her pressure and motivation to act.

But plans couldn't keep up with changes, and her planned yandere project for Ningning had to be altered.

Then the role of the fake love rival...

Chi Xiaocheng was still thinking when there was a knock on the door.

Chi Xiaocheng looked up at the IV drip still hanging. It wasn't time to change the medicine yet.

"Come in!"

She said loudly, and then a 1.9-meter-tall, bespectacled intellectual man walked in from the door.

"Good evening."

Si Chen gently closed the door, his eyes gleaming with intelligence.

As soon as he came in, he immediately got straight to the point. "Chi Xiaocheng, you're faking it, aren't you? Doctor Lin has already told me that through observing you, he discovered your flaws."

"It's really surprising. You even fooled me last time."

Si Chen took two steps forward, and he was very happy to expose Chi Xiaocheng's act.

And to save emotion points, Chi Xiaocheng hadn't continued to use the acting card to become the ultimate actor when facing Doctor Lin.

Just right, she also wanted to come clean with Si Chen.

The faint smile that had been hanging on her face gradually became a little eerie.

Those crimson eyes vaguely became as frightening as a cat's.

Chi Xiaocheng on the hospital bed looked sweetly at the man in front of her. "Young Master Si Chen, if I remember correctly, when I faked my death, you seemed to say you wanted to marry Taotao, didn't you?"
