Chapter 283: Don'T Just Talk About Liking Someone, Take Action
Differences in pheromones are often the root cause of misunderstandings.
Su Tao desperately wanted to explain to Fang Ning why she had thrown away the suicide note.
Why she wasn't there anymore, why she wasn't by Xiao Cheng's side.
And why she gave her that look of disgust and dislike, yet acted as if she'd done nothing wrong, just like her former self.
All the way to the balcony, she barely had a chance to speak, silenced by the words hurled at her.
She had taken that step, changed herself, and even tried to awaken Xiao Cheng's memories, willing to debase herself, to become vile and detestable.
She took out the suicide note, but was harshly rejected by the person she loved. The frustration left her with no emotional outlet.
She impulsively threw away the suicide note, as if throwing away her former self, vowing not to repeat the same mistakes, and even proactively confessed everything to Dongfang Yang, excluding that man who liked Xiao Cheng first.
She wanted to salvage that love, to stay with her in the room, but was rejected and chased away.
Moreover, because she cared about Xiao Cheng, she wanted to snatch Xiao Cheng back, directing hostile gazes towards Fang Ning.
It wasn't that she had done nothing, that she hadn't changed at all.
But the fact remained that the suicide note was in the trash can.
And Fang Ning, unaware of the situation, had found it.
She didn't know that Su Tao and Chi Xiao Cheng, who had just patched things up, had fought again, nor was she aware of Su Tao's secretly changed determination. She was simply protecting her Xiao Cheng sister from her own perspective.
Su Tao, having been scolded awake, realized this. That's why she couldn't say anything to argue back at this moment.
Fang Ning was simply caring for Xiao Cheng in her own way.
And regardless of the reason, it was her own fault.
Looking at Fang Ning's expression, twisted with disgust towards her, Su Tao suddenly understood and became clear-headed.
Fang Ning wasn't wrong; she simply wasn't good enough.
She could become her enemy, her competitor, even the person who might steal Xiao Cheng away. Wasn't it all her own fault?
That snowy night, Fang Ning wasn't angry because she liked Xiao Cheng, but because she, Su Tao, wasn't worthy of Xiao Cheng, hadn't protected Xiao Cheng well enough.
If she had chosen to awaken Xiao Cheng's memories sooner, where would Fang Ning be?
The self-consuming obsession was briefly jolted awake, which also meant that she wouldn't give up.
She would take responsibility for her mistakes, but she wouldn't let Fang Ning have Xiao Cheng!
Su Tao took a deep breath, first taking a step back, and then bowing deeply to Fang Ning.
Bending at a 90-degree angle, her tone was sincere, "I'm sorry, Fang Ning. The suicide note incident was my fault. I haven't been able to get over the psychological trauma since that snowy night, and I've failed your expectations. I apologize to you."
Her sincere tone seemed to bring back the strong, radiant Su Tao of the past.
The sudden change startled the already fiery Fang Ning, who took a big step back, holding the suicide note.
But before she could react, the reason Su Tao had regained seemed to vanish in an instant. When she looked up, her eyes were still full of aggression.
Her hostility undiminished, "I was wrong. I will face myself, correct myself, and then compensate Xiao Cheng doubly, to like her, to love her, but I won't quit because of what you said."
She took a deep breath, straightened up, and said slowly to Fang Ning, "You also know about Xiao Cheng's amnesia, right?"
Fang Ning smoothed out her emotions and narrowed her eyes with a faint smile, "So what if I do?"
"Then I advise you not to get any funny ideas. I will awaken Xiao Cheng's memories."
"Even if it causes Xiao Cheng sister pain because of the memories, and she becomes the yandere you hate again?"
Looking at the mocking smile on the girl's face, Su Tao's heart sank.
Fang Ning was indeed more dangerous than Dongfang Yang!
She appeared so harmless, yet she knew everything.
And she knew nothing about Fang Ning's thoughts and information.
She felt a sense of crisis, as if she was completely being manipulated by her.
But didn't she already have an answer to this question?
Su Tao didn't run away, but said directly, "Yes, even if it causes her pain because of the memories, and she becomes that morbid, obsessive, and always incomprehensible yandere."
"But!" Su Tao's voice suddenly rose, "That kind of obsession and morbidity is also proof that she likes me."
Su Tao had indeed been consumed by internal conflict.
But she wasn't like before, only regretting without thinking, drifting through her days in confusion and apathy.
She was also thinking, considering how to change the current situation.
Finally, after exhausting her brainpower, she came to a shocking conclusion.
The reason Xiao Cheng doesn't like me now is because she's not a yandere, and she doesn't have that morbid side anymore.
So, could it be that all of her love for me is contained within that morbidity?
Then I must accept her yandere side in order to enjoy her love!
Evading the issue would never solve it.
However, her declaration, like a pre-battle speech, even directly telling Fang Ning to back down, still didn't shake the little girl's resolve.
As if she had some kind of confidence, Fang Ning smiled softly, "But Xiao Cheng sister is still in a state of amnesia, and she hates you as much as I do."
Hearing this, Su Tao gasped and clenched her fists.
Fang Ning's tone remained unchanged, calm and mocking, as if she was certain of her victory, "And what conditions do you have to compete with me now, thinking that you can snatch Xiao Cheng sister back, believing that awakening her memories will definitely make her accept you?"
"You know, she's very annoyed with you right now."
"And my love and affection for Xiao Cheng sister far surpasses yours!"
Fang Ning smoothed her long hair and said lightly, "If you want to compete with me on the same stage, think about why Xiao Cheng sister likes me so much. If you only talk about liking and loving her, if you only have this possessiveness, then you should obediently back down."
She walked up to Su Tao and gently pressed the suicide note against her abdomen, "Also, don't throw it away again, Xiao Cheng sister will be unhappy if she sees it."
With that, she ignored Su Tao and opened the tall French windows.
She vigorously patted her own face, and in an instant, that cold, slightly aggressive expression disappeared.
She put on a smile and transformed back into that adorable and soft little girl.
Only Su Tao, holding the suicide note fluttering in the wind, felt her head buzzing.
"Xiao Cheng... why does she like Fang Ning so much?"
What the other person said was infuriating, but Su Tao had to admit that she was telling the truth.
From any angle, the now amnesiac Xiao Cheng liked Fang Ning more than she liked Su Tao.
What was the reason?
The original rift had already disappeared once, the influence of memories was much weaker, and Fang Ning's looks were definitely not comparable to hers, but why did she prefer playing with Fang Ning?
Was it just because she was well-behaved?
"That's not right."
Su Tao looked at that petite figure, and a sentence she had just said flashed through her mind.
--My love and affection for Xiao Cheng sister far surpasses yours.
Su Tao opened her palm, looking at the wrinkled handwriting on the suicide note, letting the wind mess up her long hair.
"I like Xiao Cheng, but what about my... actions?"
A glimmer of understanding appeared in Su Tao's eyes.
Looking again at the figure about to enter the room around the corner, her expression gradually became complicated again.
"Is she... reminding me?"
