Chapter 280 The One Who Was Ignored
Solving Dongfang Yang didn't mean Su Tao could relax her guard.
She knew Dongfang Yang was just one person trying to take Xiao Cheng away, and besides, he was far away in the capital, needing a week to return like Si Chen.
The person who might actually steal her away would be back in this house today.
Returning to the room, Su Tao rubbed her temples, trying to ease the fatigue in her brain, but even though Dongfang Yang had said he was backing down, the unease in her heart was still strong.
She took out her phone again, but none of her familiar contacts had replied yet.
She definitely couldn't contact Si Chen.
As for Doctor Cheng and Cheng Cheng, Su Tao hadn't decided whether to reach out to them.
She trusted the former very much, but it was still the first day of the new year. Su Tao actually knew what she needed to do, she just lacked confidence. If she contacted Doctor Cheng...
She believed he would help her as always.
But talking about those kinds of topics and venting her emotions to him, she felt bad since he was a respected elder.
"Forget it, I'll just find Cheng Cheng to get scolded."
With that thought, Su Tao sent Cheng Cheng a message, "Cheng Cheng, I want to awaken Xiao Cheng's memories."
Although she'd get scolded, the advice Cheng Cheng gave after the scolding was always helpful.
Su Tao didn't believe she'd never have a chance to awaken Chi Xiao Cheng's memories.
During the New Year holiday, Cheng Cheng didn't have to isolate herself to do research with her advisor, so naturally, her phone was always in hand, and she replied quickly.
But the reply was just a question mark, followed by a sweating emoji.
Cheng Cheng: "Don't tell me you found out Xiao Chengzi is about to fall for someone else, or you two fought again. You're more anxious than an ambulance! So even if she'll feel pain later, you still want to awaken her memories."
The pointed remark made Su Tao lower her head in shame.
She knew Cheng Cheng had always wanted her to awaken Xiao Cheng's memories sooner.
But she had stubbornly insisted that they could have the most beautiful ending without awakening her memories.
Looking back now, Su Tao really wanted to slap her past self.
If she had chosen to awaken Xiao Cheng's memories when she first woke up, things wouldn't be like this now.
Even with the shame, Su Tao couldn't avoid the process of replying to her best friend's message, so she simply said directly, "I've already tried to use familiar scenes to stimulate Xiao Cheng's memories, hoping to restore them, but I failed."
Taozi: "Not only didn't she recover her memories, but it seems to be even more serious. Now my relationship with her is strained again."
Cheng Cheng: "You deserve it."
Cheng Cheng: "You do whatever you want, using the excuse of worrying about Xiao Chengzi's pain and yandere tendencies. Whether it's before or now, what you're doing is just self-gratification."
Cheng Cheng: "If I were Xiao Chengzi, I'd want to slap you awake."
Taozi: "I... I already know I was wrong, and although I'm still selfish, I'm different from before!"
Cheng Cheng: "How are you different?"
Taozi: "Like you said, I only considered myself before. Now I'm being selfish and choosing to awaken her memories for Xiao Cheng's sake. She absolutely can't leave me!"
This baseless self-deception was ultimately Su Tao's way of comforting herself.
But from Chi Xiao Cheng's perspective, she didn't dislike it.
On the contrary, she liked that Su Tao could make such a choice.
You have to be a little selfish, Tao Tao. That way you'll always be watching me, preventing me from being taken away by someone else, and you won't actively leave my sight to look for someone else.
If only each other remains in our eyes, doesn't that mean the future will only hold happiness?
A little distortion and obsessiveness aren't problems when it comes to love and affection.
As long as being together leads to happiness.
Time will dilute everything.
As Su Tao expected, Cheng Cheng gave her a good scolding.
She called her dense, lacking emotional intelligence, constantly bringing up past events to beat her down, and even criticized her gender views that were harder than diamonds.
Su Tao was speechless and even had a feeling.
The person chatting with her on the phone was clearly Cheng Cheng.
But she had the illusion that it was Xiao Cheng, using the opportunity to vent her emotions.
After the scolding was over, the advice arrived as scheduled.
Cheng Cheng: "I understand your situation. If you ask me, you shouldn't rush. Try to restore your relationship with Xiao Chengzi in the next few days, and then wait for the doctor to come."
"What was the name of that really amazing doctor you mentioned last time? Doctor Lin, right? Anyway, let them awaken her memories, and it'll definitely work."
"You tend to panic when things go wrong, it's a wonder Xiao Chengzi isn't made even worse by you."
Su Tao nodded gently as she looked at the message.
As expected of her best friend, her thoughts were exactly the same as hers, but that wasn't enough, "But there are still a few days, it could be two days if it's fast, or four or five days if it's slow. Fang Ning is at my house!"
"That's the person I was talking about earlier who might steal Xiao Cheng away, her name is Fang Ning."
"If I don't do anything, won't I just watch Xiao Cheng be taken away by her?"
Cheng Cheng: "Then kick her out! Didn't you say she's weak? Kick her out behind Xiao Chengzi's back!"
Taozi: "Wouldn't that be too extreme? If Xiao Cheng finds out, her impression of me would be even worse."
Cheng Cheng: "So what? Aren't you already selfish enough? What does it matter if you're a little more extreme? But I'm telling you, you have to have a bottom line."
Cheng Cheng: "This is between you and Xiao Chengzi, don't hurt a third party. After all, you're just imagining that Fang Ning will steal Xiao Chengzi away."
Looking at her words, Su Tao had to admit that this was the safest way.
Get rid of Fang Ning, and then make up an excuse to trick Xiao Cheng.
As long as she gets her hands on Fang Ning's weakness and prevents her from complaining to Xiao Cheng, then the next few days will still be their own world!
Eliminate the threat directly from the source!
Su Tao was tempted by Cheng Cheng's suggestion.
She would never have done this before, but now...
She subconsciously believed that Chi Xiao Cheng was about to be taken away.
So naturally, her first action was to "take her back."
But she also had to be careful not to hurt Fang Ning.
Su Tao pondered for a long time, and finally slowly raised her head, "Maybe I can use my acting skills to appear as if I like Xiao Cheng and am jealous of Fang Ning... Wait."
"Fang Ning knows all about my relationship with Xiao Cheng!"
Su Tao suddenly stood up, this thought constantly resounding in her mind.
How could Su Tao forget that snowy night?
Instead, because of her impatience these days, she assumed that Fang Ning was just visiting Chi Xiao Cheng, and subconsciously thought that Fang Ning was like an ordinary person, unaware that Xiao Cheng had lost her memories.
That's right, how could she forget this most important point?
Fang Ning wasn't just a random NPC.
She knew everything about the situation, even knowing that Xiao Cheng had died and come back to life!
So, was her coming to her house really just to hang out with Xiao Cheng?
