Chapter 272 Si Chen: Actually, I Like Chi Xiaocheng Too (Bonus For Gui Kou ④)
However, these were just words spoken in haste by Si Chen.
He was a Cheng supporter, a loyal one at that. Whether or not he could borrow Su Tao's War God father in the future depended on Chi Xiaocheng's mood.
Though he complained, he wouldn't let a moment of emotional explosion affect his greater plans. Seeing Su Tao remain silent for so long, he couldn't help but say, "Doctor Lin won't be back to work until the seventh day of the new year at the earliest. If you're so anxious to wake up Chi Xiaocheng, try to figure out a solution yourself first."
His words pulled the utterly ashamed Su Tao back to reality. "I'm sorry," she said.
Besides apologizing, she didn't know what else to say.
Escaping herself, deceiving herself, her heart was filled with tangled emotions, but in the eyes of others, she was just a selfish and self-serving person.
Cheng Cheng had clearly reminded her.
Yet she had stubbornly gone her own way.
Now that she sensed danger, she wanted to start over, tail between her legs.
But reality wasn't a game.
There was never a chance to save your progress.
How pathetic she was.
Perhaps if Dongfang Yang heard Su Tao's apology, he would soften, but to Si Chen, it was just a sign that Su Tao wasn't determined enough.
He simply stated, "In any case, I only have two things to tell you."
Su Tao nodded seriously. "Si Chen, tell me. I'll listen to you this time!"
"First," Si Chen said, "I don't care what you think of Chi Xiaocheng right now. Since you like her, then accept everything about her, love everything about her. Don't make things complicated and refuse to face yourself. If she gets snatched away, I can only say you deserve it!"
Su Tao responded twice, her gaze gradually hardening.
"Second!" Si Chen's voice intensified. "It's always like this, saying you'll change but never doing it, repeating the same mistakes. Even as a friend, my patience with you is running thin. You say Chi Xiaocheng is yandere, but when she's satisfied, her obedience is plain for all to see."
"Even Dongfang Yang has fallen for Chi Xiaocheng."
"If you don't like her, there are plenty of people who do."
"You can continue to hesitate if you want, but if you don't grab Chi Xiaocheng, then... then Dongfang Yang and I will naturally make our move."
After saying that.
The resolute look in Su Tao's eyes instantly turned blank.
Carefully considering Si Chen's words, she became anxious. "Wait, Si Chen, what do you mean by you'll make your move?"
"What it sounds like. Chi Xiaocheng is a beautiful girl, and we're men. If we don't like you, Su Tao, can't we like Chi Xiaocheng?"
Si Chen didn't even give Su Tao a chance to reply, hanging up the phone directly.
Guessing that the girl would definitely call back, he simply turned off his phone and tossed it aside.
His close aide was by his side. Seeing Si Chen's series of actions, he couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Young Master, wasn't it a bit much to say you liked Miss Chi directly?"
Si Chen said calmly, "Anyway, the previous plan was to pretend like that anyway. Give Su Tao some urgency, otherwise she'll really think that no one in the world likes Chi Xiaocheng except her."
"Thinking that no matter what, even if Chi Xiaocheng dies, she'll only like her?"
The close aide was momentarily speechless, then slowly asked, "Then why did you bring up Young Master Dongfang, and that necklace..."
Si Chen plopped down on the sofa, crossing his long legs on the table. "I can't tell what that necklace is either. I guess Dongfang Yang just thought it looked good and grabbed it. Anyway, Su Tao doesn't know anything about these things, she'll believe whatever I say."
"As for why I brought up Dongfang Yang, it's to share the burden of attention, what else could it be?"
"Anyway, we're good brothers, he won't mind. I was just talking nonsense. He actually gave her a necklace as a 'love token.' Either way, Su Tao can't blame it on me."
He lit a cigarette, trying to soothe his irritated mood, but the furrow in his brow never eased.
......
Meanwhile, on the other side, Su Tao became completely anxious after realizing she couldn't get through to Si Chen's phone no matter how hard she tried.
Her mind was filled with Si Chen's last words before he hung up.
Dongfang Yang was an enemy.
She sought Si Chen for advice, but Si Chen actually had feelings for Xiaocheng too!
Those last words were spoken in a joking manner.
But Su Tao, a startled bird, had no way to calmly consider the truth and falsehood in Si Chen's words.
All she knew was that those who were once good to her had "betrayed" her.
They all wanted to steal her Xiaocheng!
Who could she turn to now? Doctor Cheng?
Or Cheng Cheng?
If she sought out Doctor Cheng, he was spending the New Year with his family, and it wasn't good to keep bothering him at this time.
If she sought out Cheng Cheng...
No, seeking out Cheng Cheng would only earn her a scolding.
Tangled, hesitant, pacing back and forth in the room.
While she was anxious, the two little ones in Chi Xiaocheng's room also wore a hint of worry on their faces.
The Fireboy and Watergirl game was long closed. Chi Xiaocheng leaned against the headboard, while Fang Ning used a notebook to doodle.
But Fang Ning's thoughts were clearly not on the content of the notebook.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally said to Chi Xiaocheng, "Xiaocheng, I still think this isn't a good idea. It's putting too much pressure on Su Tao."
Chi Xiaocheng put down her phone and looked at Fang Ning. "If you were in Tao Tao's shoes, what would you do?"
"I... I would give up."
Fang Ning hesitated for a moment, as if thinking, before tilting her head and saying, "If I were in Su Tao's position, considering the amnesia and Xiaocheng pretending to be happy, I would withdraw my hand."
"If life after amnesia is better than before, more comfortable and happier, maybe without that pressure, I would withdraw. Continuing would only be forcing you, Xiaocheng. Even if I got your love that way, if you're not happy, it... it wouldn't mean anything."
Chi Xiaocheng sighed. "Actually, I hesitated for a long time before calling you over to spend the New Year with me. I've given Tao Tao all kinds of hints, but she's still avoiding it."
"She says that it's good that my memories are messed up right now and that slowly rebuilding our former relationship will completely eradicate the yandere."
"Doesn't that mean she likes the normal me?"
Chi Xiaocheng gripped the blanket, her words unconsciously carrying a trace of impatience and sharpness. "But the current me... I can faintly sense that I'm a bit abnormal. She only likes the normal me, but doesn't want to accept the current me..."
"Doesn't that mean that sooner or later, she'll leave me?"
Leaving aside how strong her possessiveness was, what if a sugar mommy appeared one day, or the will of the world interfered and made her Tao Tao leave her?
But she was also afraid that Su Tao would really do what Fang Ning said.
Withdraw.
Saying she was withdrawing for Xiaocheng's sake.
She lowered her head again, looking at her phone.
Switching to Doctor Cheng's account, then to others, then back again.
There were no messages from Su Tao.
Before, Tao Tao would have asked her at the first moment what to do with her account.
Then she could continue to "offer advice."
Su Tao was anxious, and she was just as anxious.
Fang Ning shifted her gaze away from the conflicted Chi Xiaocheng, focusing again on the sketch in her notebook, and said softly, "I still think it's too forced to have me like Xiaocheng to stimulate Su Tao."
Chi Xiaocheng looked at Fang Ning in surprise. "It's just pretending to like me, just coming over to play occasionally, you don't have to do much at all. Why do you think it's forced?"
Fang Ning smoothed her long hair and smiled back. "Because it's too unfair to Su Tao. Although I hate her, I still want to see the two of you as you were in the pictures."
She moved aside, revealing the simple sketch she had just drawn in the notebook to Chi Xiaocheng.
