Chapter 280 Who'S The Abnormal One?
Who'S The Abnormal One?
The message came from Su Tao, and the question was blunt.
Su Tao: "Dongfang Yang, do you like Xiao Cheng?"
Before this, even if she suspected Dongfang Yang might have feelings for Xiao Cheng, Su Tao would never have asked so directly.
It was like borrowing money from someone. Once certain words were spoken, the relationship between the two parties would change.
She still considered Dongfang Yang a good brother and didn't want to ruin their relationship.
But!
Things were different now.
Chi Xiao Cheng's memory was fragmented. Aside from Fang Ning, Dongfang Yang posed the biggest threat. If she continued to hesitate, continue to run away, wouldn't that be the same as handing Xiao Cheng over to him?
Su Tao couldn't remain indecisive like before. If she wanted to win Xiao Cheng back, she had to take action!
I won't back down.
You're the one who should back down, Dongfang Yang!
The girl's newfound resolve seemed to have reached the troubled Dongfang Yang. He looked at the message and sighed, his expression melancholic.
First, he, Dongfang Yang, was a normal man.
Second, Chi Xiao Cheng, in every way, was a beautiful and adorable girl.
She was just a bit short, a bit flat-chested, and a bit slow-witted, looking a bit dazed, but her personality was faultless.
Endearingly so.
He wouldn't say he liked her that much, but it would be a lie to say he had no feelings for her at all. He, Dongfang Yang, wasn't some eunuch protagonist from a novel. Moreover, the preconceived notion that Chi Xiao Cheng liked him made it hard for him not to care about her.
And this was precisely the kind of situation he wanted to avoid the most.
After agonizing for a moment, Dongfang Yang decided not to hide his true feelings, but he felt that replying directly that he had some feelings for Chi Xiao Cheng would be too awkward.
He decided to use a more tactful reply to avoid embarrassment. "Only this guy (thumbs down) wouldn't like Chi Xiao Cheng."
However, Su Tao's face immediately darkened when she saw the reply.
Dongfang Yang really did like Xiao Cheng!
Before, she might have been timid, but not now.
Su Tao quickly sent several messages in a row.
"Dongfang Yang, Xiao Cheng is mine!"
"I'm the one who truly loves her. Even if you two have a good relationship, I will never give her up!"
"I will restore her memory and make her love me like before. Xiao Cheng won't like you, so give up!"
Three sentences in a row, three exclamation marks in a row, clearly expressing her feelings.
The old her would never have been so direct, or said things so easily leading to a break with a good friend, but now...
After saying those words, Su Tao felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
Something that had been bottled up inside her had been released.
As for Dongfang Yang, he couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the messages from Su Tao.
"Su Tao, she's finally changed. She's no longer the untouchable white moonlight she once was."
Dongfang Yang clenched his fist as he looked at the messages. "I just didn't expect that Chi Xiao Cheng's two near-death experiences, and the blows that Ye Liang and Xiao Ming brought to her, would be so great."
"To possess me, she actually fabricated such a lie!"
"Knowing that Chi Xiao Cheng also likes me, and that I gave that little fool a necklace as a gift, Su Tao became jealous and said things like she likes Chi Xiao Cheng to hint that I shouldn't like Chi Xiao Cheng and should only like her!"
Dongfang Yang pounded his chest in distress. "Su Tao, Su Tao, if you like me, just pursue me openly! How could you resort to such despicable behavior because you feel threatened!"
The thing he worried about most had happened.
Because of his charm.
A rift had formed between these two close sisters.
"But for now, the problem between these two sisters is bigger. It's best to focus on healing them first. In any case, I have to stabilize these two."
He, Dongfang Yang, was willing to sacrifice himself for this!
So he replied, "Since you've said so, then I'll back down. I promise I won't actively pursue her."
Anyway, that little fool liked him so much, no matter what, she would actively pursue him. He would resolve the situation with these two first.
Dongfang Yang was quite open-minded about matters of love. After replying like that, Su Tao was at a loss for words.
After being so direct, she had prepared herself to have a frank discussion with Dongfang Yang, even to the point where their relationship might be seriously damaged.
But...
Dongfang Yang actually backed down so directly?
He didn't like her, did he? He liked Xiao Cheng, right?
He backed down after just one sentence from her?
Su Tao, who had been leaning towards a dark, obsessive mindset, immediately lost steam and didn't know how to respond to his words.
She couldn't figure out Dongfang Yang's reason for giving up no matter how hard she thought about it.
"But with his personality, he shouldn't be lying."
Excluding the possibility of playing hard to get, did Dongfang Yang see both her and Xiao Cheng as younger sisters, so he chose to complete their relationship and back down?
Just as Su Tao considered him a brother, she believed Dongfang Yang also saw her as a younger sister.
She thought the same way about Chi Xiao Cheng, but Su Tao didn't expect that while Dongfang Yang saw Chi Xiao Cheng as a younger sister, he was also attracted by Xiao Cheng's cuteness.
And now, the older brother knew that the two younger sisters had feelings for each other.
Considering factors like their relationship, he chose to back down.
It was like how Brother Chi Song had hinted that he would unconditionally support their choice.
Instantly, Su Tao felt an urge to cry.
Dongfang Yang, I misunderstood you, I'm sorry!
After silently apologizing in her heart, the hostility Su Tao originally felt towards Dongfang Yang mostly dissipated.
At the same time, she apologized for the excessive words she had just said, and then asked, "Then, Dongfang Yang, can I still ask you for help with the matter of awakening Xiao Cheng's memory?"
"Of course, you can." Dongfang Yang replied quickly, even sending a voice message. "I'm very happy that you took that step and made that choice. I'll have Doctor Chen come back in the next couple of days. Don't worry."
"Thank you!"
Faced with their awkwardness, he not only didn't mind, but his voice was still as sunny and cheerful as usual.
Dongfang Yang, don't worry. After Xiao Cheng's memory is restored and we're together, we'll definitely, definitely thank you properly together!
We already owe you so many favors, so after Xiao Cheng's memory is restored and we're back together, we'll thank you and repay you together.
But besides the matter of her memory, Dongfang Yang also wanted to talk to Su Tao about something else.
That was the matter of Chi Xiao Cheng's worsening memory loss.
After the two briefly compared notes, they immediately confirmed that Chi Xiao Cheng's failed awakening was due to her worsening memory loss.
Next, more professional methods were needed.
As a cover, they also had to act in accordance with Chi Xiao Cheng's fragmented memories.
So Dongfang Yang also agreed with Su Tao that Doctor Chen would casually examine her, make a show of it, and issue a medical report.
This was to appease Chi Xiao Cheng, who was becoming increasingly abnormal due to her memory.
But among the different camps caused by the information gap, who exactly was the abnormal one?
