Chapter 27 She'S Quite Cute
“This…”
Su Tao was momentarily speechless, her mind rapidly brainstorming.
If it were an ordinary person, the question might have been about her figure or something similar.
But since the person was Chi Xiaocheng, Su Tao felt she couldn’t answer directly.
Because Chi Xiaocheng was a yandere!
She had self-harming tendencies, and her thoughts were different from others.
Recalling her previous understanding of yanderes, Su Tao felt that neither of her two options seemed very good.
A: I don't like it.
Xiaocheng might misunderstand that I don't like her, leading to a worsening of her condition. She might fall into that strange state, or turn dark, or even break down!
B: I like it.
This was indeed an unproblematic option, the only issue being that her goal was to make Xiaocheng no longer a yandere. Pretending to like her would be fine, but if she said it directly, would it deepen the misunderstanding?
After a brief thought, Su Tao knew this was an easy question, with only one answer.
She awkwardly replied, “I like it, of course.”
Chi Xiaocheng blinked again, her tone innocent, “Then what part do you like the most?”
“Uh... your hand, I guess.”
Her gaze was uneasy, but fortunately, she was currently behind Chi Xiaocheng, tidying her hair, so her nervousness wouldn’t be noticed.
Surely this answer would deflect the question, right?
She thought so.
Yet, she heard Chi Xiaocheng quietly say, “Since Taotao likes it, how about I give you my hand?”
Su Tao’s movements paused. “Give... give it?”
Chi Xiaocheng nodded gently, “Yes. Taotao, do you want my left hand or my right hand? I’ll cut it off and give it to you.”
Suddenly, Su Tao’s uneasy gaze turned to panic. She quickly came in front of Chi Xiaocheng, her smile strained, her tone as gentle as possible, “Give... there’s no need to give it to me. What I prefer is a healthy, whole Xiaocheng.”
“Oh, so that’s it…”
“Mm-hmm, exactly!”
“Okay, then I’ll eat more meat and take good care of my body.”
A docile smile bloomed on her face, utterly adorable.
Su Tao was momentarily stunned by the sight.
Then, she was ecstatic.
She seemed to have found a way to cure Chi Xiaocheng!
Because I said I liked her hand, she mistakenly thought that cutting off her hand and giving it to me would make me happy.
Now I’ve said I want her to be healthy.
And she’ll really try to get more nutrition and recover her body.
So, yanderes are like this!
As long as I keep a close eye on her, it seems nothing bad will happen?
Watching Chi Xiaocheng squint her eyes and giggle foolishly, a tiny, sharp canine tooth occasionally peeking out, Su Tao also broke into a relaxed smile.
Sure enough, a normal Xiaocheng was still very cute.
She chose to ignore the issue of the hand, and the atmosphere between them became harmonious, finally allowing for normal conversation.
After a night of rain yesterday, the view outside the window gradually brightened in the morning. A ray of sunlight streamed in from the window, landing perfectly on Su Tao.
She was wearing a patient gown, talking cheerfully with a smile, her slender fingers gently swaying, as if painting the scene she described for Chi Xiaocheng.
The sunlight cast a golden glow on her dark hair, and the gentle, serene curve of her half-turned face made Chi Xiaocheng’s heart skip a beat.
“So beautiful.”
Su Tao, who had been talking about school, paused upon hearing Chi Xiaocheng’s words. “What?”
Chi Xiaocheng revealed shallow dimples, and said softly, “I said, I like you!”
Su Tao froze, her head involuntarily turning to the side.
“Seriously, saying something like that again.”
A blush appeared on her delicate face, conveniently hidden by the sunlight, making Chi Xiaocheng feel, for a moment, that she looked even more beautiful.
However, this warm and ambiguous atmosphere didn’t last long.
A knock came from outside, and Dongfang Yang entered with a doctor.
The doctor glanced at Chi Xiaocheng and said, “Have the patient’s family members been contacted? We need a family member’s signature here.”
“Uh…”
Both Su Tao and Dongfang Yang looked at Chi Xiaocheng.
The signature should have been obtained yesterday, but due to the emergency and Dongfang Yang’s assurance as a young master, it had been delayed until now.
Su Tao said, “We originally wanted to contact your family, Xiaocheng, but we don’t have your contact information, and your original phone is missing.”
Chi Xiaocheng hesitated, then asked, “Can’t I sign it myself?”
From her memories, she knew that the original host’s family was ordinary; her parents had been farmers for generations, living in a not-so-affluent village far from Jiuzhou City, making it impossible for them to come.
As a villainous supporting character, she also had an equally villainous older brother.
Three years ago, after her brother learned from her school teachers that Chi Xiaocheng’s first-year high school grades were excellent and that two years of effort might allow her to get into a 985 university, he, who had just started college, chose to drop out and wander society.
Because he was inexperienced and naive, he was tricked and ended up following a gang leader.
Two years later, he hadn’t accomplished much and had even been arrested several times, yet he consistently sent back money for her tuition and living expenses.
It wasn’t until a year ago that he took a knife for the gang leader, and though he lost an arm, he became the leader’s confidant, managing to acquire a commercial apartment within Jiuzhou City’s inner ring.
This was also where Chi Xiaocheng currently lived.
In the original novel, after the original host was killed by Ye Liang, her brother emerged as a new, blackened villain, leading his boss’s forces to maniacally hunt down Ye Liang. He survived for about two hundred chapters, only to meet a tragic end.
But Chi Xiaocheng knew that when it came to family, her brother was exceptionally good, whether he had turned dark or not.
Although she had transmigrated, she respected this bond. If it wasn’t necessary, Chi Xiaocheng didn’t want to worry the original host’s brother.
Mainly, she was afraid he would conflict with the male leads, which would truly be difficult to handle.
Because of this, the small look in her eyes as she gazed at the doctor practically spelled out “I have a difficult secret to tell.”
The doctor gave Dongfang Yang an expressionless glance.
The latter said calmly, “It’s nothing serious anyway, just let her sign it herself. It’s just a formality.”
“Alright.”
The doctor nodded and said nothing more.
After handing over the medical advice for Chi Xiaocheng to sign, he left discreetly.
Chi Xiaocheng meekly glanced at Dongfang Yang, putting on an act, instantly becoming a little more adorable and delicate.
However, with Su Tao present, she didn’t overdo it.
“Thank you, Young Master Dongfang.”
She said it feebly, which in Su Tao’s eyes seemed like she was a little scared.
Su Tao couldn’t help but turn back and protectively said, “Dongfang Yang, don’t scare Xiaocheng.”
“Huh?” Dongfang Yang pointed at himself. “How did I scare her?”
He’d only said one sentence since entering, hadn’t he!
Su Tao: “Your gaze scared her. Just be yourself, you’re not suited for acting cool and distant.”
Dongfang Yang: “…”
He felt wronged.
He had clearly kept quiet just now because he didn’t want to disturb the doctor, hadn’t he!
Su Tao took one of Chi Xiaocheng’s small hands and gently squeezed it. “It’s okay, Xiaocheng, he won’t scare you like before.”
Chi Xiaocheng nodded gently, then looked at Dongfang Yang again. “I’m... I’m sorry.”
Dongfang Yang magnanimously waved his hand. “Never mind, it was nothing to begin with.”
“No, no,” Chi Xiaocheng quickly shook her head and explained, “What I mean is, when you came in just now, I knew you wouldn’t do anything to me, but I was still a little scared.”
“I should apologize for that; you’ve helped me so much, and yet I still thought that way.”
She lowered her head, her brown hair catching a thin golden mist from the sunlight, and her frail appearance couldn’t help but greatly increase people’s affection for her.
Dongfang Yang touched his cheek, feeling a little embarrassed.
Her reason for apologizing was actually that.
And was she blushing when she lowered her head?
She felt... quite cute.
