Chapter 285 Just Being Family Is Enough
When someone has love and affection, and a clear goal, their motivation increases greatly.
Just like Su Tao right now.
She was eating breakfast with Chi Xiao Cheng when the door suddenly opened, and Fang Ning breathed out a puff of warm air, carrying a steamer basket of small soup dumplings.
One was bought by getting up early.
One was made by hand.
And the victor was Su Tao.
Because Chi Xiao Cheng had already eaten seven-tenths full and was drinking the last bit of her nutritious porridge.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit tense. Su Tao sat up straight, looking at Fang Ning, raising an eyebrow like a victor.
Fang Ning wasn't embarrassed, smiling as she asked Chi Xiao Cheng, "Xiao Cheng, are you full? I bought small soup dumplings, and they're still hot."
"Ah... no, thank you Ning Ning, I'm already full."
"Okay, then I'll eat them myself."
Her voice didn't sound particularly forlorn, but she still sat down next to Chi Xiao Cheng, eating the dumplings that were originally meant for one person.
They couldn't eat together, but they could chat happily.
Seeing this, Su Tao didn't compete recklessly as she had before. Instead, she picked up her bowl and went to the kitchen to wash it.
She knew what she should and shouldn't do now.
She had to be more proactive than Fang Ning, more attentive and caring towards Xiao Cheng.
But she couldn't act unreasonable in front of Xiao Cheng. She had to stabilize her mindset before Dongfang Yang brought the doctor back.
And she didn't just love the former Xiao Cheng, but even this Xiao Cheng who had lost her memory, was still the person she loved.
Her love for her shouldn't be cut off because of memory.
...
As if her Ren and Du meridians had been unblocked, in Chi Xiao Cheng's eyes, Su Tao became increasingly normal and proactive.
For the entire following day, she didn't mention anything about memories.
Except for the occasional spark of tension with Fang Ning, she was as normal as if she had returned to her former confident and strong self.
She knew when to advance and retreat, clingy but not annoying.
Her sense of distance and control over topics were excellent, as if she had incorporated her emotional intelligence into the relationship, making Chi Xiao Cheng feel very comfortable.
In the blink of an eye, it was the night of the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Fang Ning had been staying at the house for three days. Her relationship with Su Tao had been terrible for those three days, and they no longer even maintained a pretense of friendliness.
She made it clear that her attitude was, "Since you don't care about Xiao Cheng, then I will steal her away."
It was completely outside of her plan.
Chi Xiao Cheng didn't even understand what Fang Ning was planning to do.
Unable to resist any longer, she repeatedly asked, "Ning Ning, tell me clearly, what are you trying to do? Tao Tao sees you as a complete enemy now."
"You keep provoking her. If she loses her temper, you might be in danger!"
Chi Xiao Cheng had a dark side skill and occasionally became uncontrollable.
She knew how terrifying a yandere could be after turning dark.
Fang Ning's small frame angering Su Tao, who was so strong, would probably result in... two punches?
Moreover, Chi Xiao Cheng was afraid of another possibility.
So after asking, she stared intently at Fang Ning, not giving the little one any chance to escape.
Fang Ning said helplessly, "Well... although following Xiao Cheng's plan isn't impossible, it's too slow. Su Tao isn't an ordinary blockhead. She's definitely possessive of you, but what then?"
"She'll be thinking about possessing you. Even if you act and get together with Su Tao, you'll still have to rebuild the relationship."
"And the pressure Xiao Cheng is giving her is too much, so much that Su Tao can't think clearly, can't see herself, and gets lost."
"I'm just playing the role of a 'mirror', giving Su Tao something to compare herself to, it's that simple."
Fang Ning pouted, complaining, "If we followed Xiao Cheng's ideas, who knows how long it would take for you two to get together."
Chi Xiao Cheng looked at Fang Ning in surprise, "Why do you seem more anxious than I am?"
"Because I want to see you happy and content even more."
"Ning Ning, I'm asking you one more time seriously." Chi Xiao Cheng looked at Fang Ning very solemnly, "Although I might be imagining things, you haven't fallen for me, have you? We can't be together no matter what. I only like Tao Tao."
She wanted to avoid any possible misunderstanding.
And it was also the deepest thought in her heart.
Chi Xiao Cheng's heart couldn't hold a second person.
Fang Ning was a good girl, and Chi Xiao Cheng would treat her like a younger sister, but she would never say she liked her.
Some things needed to be confessed.
The faint smile that had been on Fang Ning's lips froze for a moment, then she became speechless, and finally rolled her eyes, "Xiao Cheng, is that what you've been worried about all along?"
Chi Xiao Cheng: "Uh..."
Fang Ning said helplessly, "Please, I know you and Su Tao are a couple, why would I fall for you? Besides, I'm a normal girl, a normal one!"
She emphasized her gender and continued, "Also, if I had those kinds of thoughts, I would have found an excuse to sneak into your bed at night."
She was the one who offered to sleep on the floor!
Furthermore, Fang Ning was well aware of her limitations.
In every aspect, she was inferior to Su Tao.
She had a poor background, low education, timid personality, didn't know anything, and had no future.
She knew that her current job was thanks to Dongfang Yang's "charity," and her dignity was given to her by others.
Not to mention that she had followed Liu Guijia in doing bad things for over a decade.
How could she compare to Su Tao, who was excellent in every aspect, except for being a bit slow when it came to emotions?
People liked to pity the weak but wouldn't accept a weak person.
Love was a joke to her.
If I was liked by her, if I was hugged by her, there would be an extra burden by her side.
Fang Ning sighed in her heart and looked at Chi Xiao Cheng with a faint smile, "Xiao Cheng, do you know what my biggest wish is?"
Chi Xiao Cheng glanced sideways, "What is it?"
"It's to imagine that one day, I can be by your side, and become your family."
Being treated as a younger sister was very happy, but she still felt that even being family was too greedy.
Fang Ning reached out her hand towards the window, as if she wanted to grab a star from the sky outside the window.
But the clouds were very thick in the dark night, and there were no stars.
She reached out, but grabbed nothing.
Noticing that Chi Xiao Cheng's mood was also a bit low and guilty, Fang Ning patted her face and suddenly laughed, "Pfft, hahaha, I was just joking, you didn't believe me, did you?"
Taking advantage of Chi Xiao Cheng's lack of response, she quickly changed the subject, "Let's not talk about that. Xiao Cheng, did you know that in your relationship, besides Su Tao, you! also have a big problem."
