Chapter 246: Increasingly Disgusted With My Own Filthiness
In her line of sight, Si Chen was circling Chi Xiaocheng, stroking his chin as if offering suggestions about her outfit.
Dongfang Yang, completely caught up in the fun, was cool for about three seconds. After his knightly bow, he excitedly exclaimed that the scene was too amazing, and even said he wanted to do something even cooler next time.
He even wanted a sword.
The big boy's teenage spirit burned bright, leaving Chi Xiaocheng shaking her head helplessly.
Seemingly nothing wrong, right?
But to outsiders, even without any filters, it looked like Si Chen and Dongfang Yang, the two handsome young masters, were doing everything they could to make the little princess in the middle happy.
This little princess clearly enjoyed the atmosphere, smiling and basking in their admiration and praise.
Next to Su Tao, a "click" suddenly sounded.
She quickly turned her head and saw an unfamiliar girl. She was also wearing a princess dress, revealing her fair shoulders and long legs, but other than showing more skin, the quality of her dress was clearly more ordinary.
The girl looked at the snapshot she had just taken, her eyes filled with envy. "It must be nice to have that kind of atmosphere."
As if noticing Su Tao's gaze, the girl chuckled. "Sorry, I'm making a fool of myself. Actually, most of the girls here like Young Master Dongfang and Young Master Si. I'm just jealous of the girl in the middle being spoiled by them."
Su Tao pursed her lips, puzzled. "There's nothing to be jealous of. They… obviously treat the girl in the middle like a little sister, right?"
"Little sister?" The girl looked at Su Tao with surprise. "I'd believe it if you said Dongfang Yang thought that way, but Si Chen is the type who only does things if there's something in it for him. Would he really be that attentive if he just saw her as a little sister?"
After saying that, the girl was about to delete the snapshot, but Su Tao quickly stopped her. "Um… could you send me that photo?"
"You want it? Sure."
They added each other as friends, and Su Tao got the photo.
Dongfang Yang and Si Chen were surrounding Chi Xiaocheng, the light just right on the three of them. But since it was a snapshot, the lighting was still a bit off. Dongfang Yang and Si Chen were brightly lit, but Chi Xiaocheng, surrounded in the middle, looked a little dim.
Su Tao casually opened a photo editing app and adjusted the brightness, then switched to the contrast.
Her index finger swiped across the screen.
Instantly, the entire photo became overexposed. Dongfang Yang and Si Chen were almost unrecognizable, but Chi Xiaocheng, sandwiched in the middle, was dazzlingly beautiful.
As if she belonged to no one, untouchable.
Su Tao's hand, which had been about to adjust the photo, suddenly froze.
She slowly exited the editing mode.
She looked at the photo.
Then she looked up at Chi Xiaocheng, still surrounded by the two boys, and murmured, "A little too dazzling."
Only then did Chi Xiaocheng, having finished talking with Dongfang Yang and Si Chen, look at Su Tao and walk over slowly. "What do you think?"
Su Tao was stunned, and a smile appeared on her face. "It looks great."
--It doesn't look great at all.
"Xiaocheng used to dress so plainly. It's amazing to see her like this for the first time."
--It was better when you were ordinary. No one would pay attention to you. Only with me are you a treasure.
"I'm so happy for you that Xiaocheng is becoming so popular. If you like it, that's all that matters."
--Happy about what? You're becoming the center of attention. Aren't you drifting further and further away from me like this?
After a few days of acting lessons, Su Tao had focused on facial expressions. While she hadn't learned much, it was enough to prevent her from being unable to control her emotions like before.
She knew that what she was thinking in her heart was filthy.
But on her face, she still wore a smile of genuine happiness for Chi Xiaocheng.
And because of these thoughts, she hated herself even more.
The banquet hadn't started yet, but guests were arriving one after another. Due to her health, Chi Xiaocheng didn't wander around. After finding a warm spot, she sat there as a quiet little doll.
So exquisitely beautiful, like a doll, she caught the eye of almost every guest who entered the main hall.
Then they started to discuss.
Which family did this little princess belong to? They had never seen such a person at so many previous banquets.
By now, Chi Xiaocheng was starting to regret it.
Because she wanted to create a dazzling image, to give Su Tao the feeling that "If you don't grab me now, I'll drift further and further away," she had asked Si Chen to choose a nice dress, but not too revealing.
The result was what she was seeing now. She was indeed radiant, and had become the most dazzling person in the entire venue.
But Taotao…
What the hell are you doing? Standing on the side like a log. If you care about me, stand by my side and prove your identity to everyone!
Discussing me with other people like a stranger, aren't you afraid that other young masters will come and snatch me away!
Although it's impossible for me to be snatched away, I wish you could be more proactive!
Chi Xiaocheng cried out in her heart, but she was already the center of attention and couldn't influence Su Tao's thoughts right now.
She was now gradually understanding why Su Tao was still a virgin in the original story, even after four million words, right up until the ending.
She was as straight as a steel bar, and her combat power was so high that no domineering CEO could solve her.
She was waiting for Su Tao to take action, but Su Tao, because of her self-loathing and lack of confidence, was already a little afraid to step forward in the face of the dazzling Chi Xiaocheng.
Searching through the crowd, she quickly found her middle school friend, Tang Tang.
She was still dressed like a tomboy. Seeing Su Tao, she waved and looked around curiously. "Where's Xiaocheng? Why are you alone?"
"She's over there." Su Tao pointed to Chi Xiaocheng, who was sitting elegantly on a soft sofa.
Instantly, Tang Tang lost her grip on the glass of red wine in her hand, and it fell to the ground with a crash.
She stared dumbfounded at Chi Xiaocheng, who looked like a princess, an angel. "Wait, is that kid Xiaocheng? You did…"
Before she could say the word "elephant," Tang Tang's mouth was covered by Su Tao.
Because of the sound of the glass shattering, all the guests had turned to look at them.
If she let her say that sentence, Su Tao wouldn't know how to deal with it.
She lowered her voice and said to Tang Tang, "Don't shout it out, okay? We're not at that stage yet. If you shout it out, what will Xiaocheng do!"
Tang Tang blinked, motioned for Su Tao to let go, and quickly put her hands together in apology. "Sorry, I was too excited. In my memory, Xiaocheng always followed you around in middle school, looking clumsy and a little dirty, always wearing that old jacket, and her hair was always messy."
"I really didn't expect that after just a few years, she would be so beautiful and cute!"
Tang Tang took a deep breath and turned to Su Tao, saying very seriously, "Taozi, if I didn't know that you and Xiaocheng were a couple, I would really want to pursue Xiaocheng."
