Chapter 271 Then Why Don'T You Just Quit?
The call connected.
The first sound that came through was an impatient click of the tongue from Si Chen, followed by a long, exasperated sigh.
Then he asked, "Big Sis, Big Sis Su, can I just call you 'Sis,' please? What are you trying to pull here!?"
"It's New Year's Eve, for crying out loud! It's a holiday!"
"Yesterday, I just gave Dr. Lin a day off. You just finished telling me your decision not to wake up Chi Xiaocheng's memories, wanting everything to develop step by step so she can fall in love with you all over again."
"And it's only been a day, just one day, and now you're telling me you want to wake up her memories again?"
"Are you changing your mind every five minutes?"
Hearing Si Chen's complaints, Su Tao's face filled with guilt.
But that fleeting guilt couldn't suppress her anxiety. She hurriedly explained, "I originally... I originally thought that way. Xiaocheng's and my relationship is getting better. If you give me a little more time, I believe she'll fall in love with me again, just like before."
"But..."
Su Tao was silent for a moment. "I think Dongfang Yang likes Xiaocheng, and then there's Fang Ning, I don't know if you know her, another girl who's good friends with Xiaocheng. I feel like... she also wants to steal my Xiaocheng away."
Si Chen: "So? You're getting anxious, afraid that Chi Xiaocheng will fall for them, so you're calling me to say you want to restore her memories?"
Su Tao immediately replied, "This... isn't this unavoidable? Xiaocheng has memory loss! In her memories, maybe her memories of Dongfang Yang and Fang Ning are even better than mine!"
"Besides, Xiaocheng might still be subconsciously resisting me a little."
"So... I want to reawaken her memories."
After hearing this.
Si Chen was about to laugh with anger. He finally understood why people say women are emotional and fickle, always making waves when it comes to relationships. Even someone as strong as Su Tao couldn't escape this rule.
Did Si Chen need to get a certificate as a relationship expert?
Taking a deep breath, Si Chen tried his best to calm his emotions, saying, word by word, "Su Tao, can you tell me what exactly is going on in your head? You said you didn't want Chi Xiaocheng to recover her memories, afraid she'd recall the past pain, and now you're going back on your word just because you feel a sense of crisis?"
"You feel a sense of crisis, so you want Chi Xiaocheng to endure pain and recover her memories."
"Am I right in thinking that's your train of thought?"
"Are you doing this for Chi Xiaocheng, or for yourself?"
The question was like a sharp knife, stabbing straight into Su Tao's heart. She immediately retorted, "Of course, I'm doing it for Xiaocheng!"
"Really?"
"Really!"
Even through the phone, Si Chen seemed to be able to see through Su Tao's heart. He chuckled. "That's what you say, like you're constantly hypnotizing yourself, but what about your actions? What part of it is for Chi Xiaocheng?"
"Since you're doing it for her, isn't it the best outcome for her to lose the painful memories of the past and live happily now?"
Su Tao: "But the person Xiaocheng likes is me! She's always liked me! How can this be the best outcome!"
"Maybe... maybe one day, she'll fall in love with someone else, and suddenly a familiar scene will trigger some of her memories and she'll think of me... Then, wouldn't that make her even more painful?"
Si Chen chuckled. "See, there you go again. Whenever you use that hesitant tone, I know you want to run away again. This is just your idea. How can you guarantee that Chi Xiaocheng will definitely think that way?"
"If she sees me around too much, familiar scenes will always trigger her memories, just like the doctors said!"
Listening to her increasingly frantic tone, Si Chen lightly uttered a few words, "Then why don't you just quit?"
Su Tao was holding the phone, suddenly stunned. "Quit?"
"Yeah." Si Chen's tone was light. "Since it's for Chi Xiaocheng's own good, and she's lost her memories and won't remember the so-called pain, and she can be happy every day, then you should withdraw from the competition for her and leave her sight."
"Wouldn't that prevent familiar scenes from triggering her memories?"
"She can be happy every day, without suffering and without her *yandere* tendencies, normal like an ordinary person."
"You don't have to worry about the future either. Didn't you say Dongfang Yang likes her? His personality means he'll only be bullied by Chi Xiaocheng, living a carefree life as a wealthy heiress, without any worries about food or clothing."
"See, isn't that beautiful? An outcome where she'll never get hurt?"
Si Chen's words were calm, without even a hint of deliberately provoking Su Tao.
But hearing them, the girl's ears buzzed, and even her brain became sluggish.
If I quit, Xiaocheng will have a wonderful life?
She suddenly clenched the phone tightly, and said fiercely to Si Chen, "How could I quit? I came first! Why should I be the one to quit? They're the thieves!"
"Look, look, look, you keep saying you're doing it for her own good, but now you don't want to quit. Are you doing it for Chi Xiaocheng, or for yourself?"
Si Chen's voice was full of disappointment.
"I'm starting to doubt whether you even like Chi Xiaocheng."
Hearing this question, Su Tao was so anxious that her eyes were about to turn red, and she shouted, "Of course, I like Xiaocheng!"
But Si Chen shouted even louder, "Then what you're doing now doesn't look like you like her at all!"
"What about being afraid that recalling her memories will cause her pain? Don't you just want to take advantage of Chi Xiaocheng's memory loss to force her to forget the past, make her less of a *yandere*, and then when she falls in love with you again, you'll get a cute, obedient, and desired Chi Xiaocheng?"
"If you really liked her, why didn't you choose to awaken her memories from the start!"
"You want her to be cute, you want her to like you, and you don't want to accept her *yandere* tendencies. Isn't the pain you talk about just an excuse!"
"Think about who caused her to feel that pain!"
"Wasn't it caused by you repeatedly running away from her and rejecting her in the past? Now that you've run out of options, you want to go back to where you started. And you still keep saying that you like her?"
Si Chen couldn't help but laugh as he spoke. "Come on, Su Tao, you're not the Su Tao I knew at the beginning anymore. Dragging your feet, hesitating, I don't know how many times I've told you. Have you changed?"
Realizing that the girl on the other end of the phone had fallen silent again, as if she had shut herself off, Si Chen really wanted to curse.
Su Tao had problems, that was true.
But Chi Xiaocheng didn't have any fewer problems.
If you like someone, just like them. If you love someone, just love them. Why insist on raising Su Tao's possessiveness a little higher and making a plan?
You two like each other, can't you just be more direct?
Why do you have to be so extreme?
I, Si Chen, a rational, high-IQ, aloof god, has been turned into an emotional nanny by you.
After you two get married, am I going to be your bridesmaid?
Now he felt that women are more troublesome than ever.
Feeling increasingly annoyed, Si Chen directly said what was on his mind to Su Tao, "One after another... one after another like this, it's really annoying."
"Right now, I wish I could tie you two up and throw you into a room together, feed you a few pounds of medicine, lock the door, and see how you two drag your feet afterwards!"
