Chapter 335 But Brother Dongfang Said He Likes Me
Oriental Wen's purpose was simple: to test how much of Chi Xiaocheng's feelings for Su Tao remained in her subconscious after amnesia.
Based on his earlier conversations with Su Tao, he knew Chi Xiaocheng was obsessed, head-over-heels in love with Su Tao.
She had attempted suicide once after being rejected.
Another time, during an accident, she had taken a bullet for the person she loved, willing to give her life to save her lover.
Throughout it all, she displayed a strong possessiveness.
Even with amnesia, no matter how deeply hidden the emotions, the subconscious would react to the source of the memory loss.
But Chi Xiaocheng merely raised an eyebrow, crushed a temporary acting card with tears in her eyes, instantly upgrading her acting skills, and suppressed a less than ideal impulse.
While maintaining an unchanged expression, she cursed "old geezer" several times in her mind. They were having such a pleasant conversation, and he suddenly changed the topic to test her!
Chi Xiaocheng tilted her head, as if she didn't understand Oriental Wen's words, "Grandpa Oriental, what does 'daughter-in-law' mean?"
Oriental Wen looked surprised, "Don't you know as her sister? That kid Oriental Yang has liked Su Tao for a long time. I talked to Xiaotaozi quite a bit earlier. Her character is indeed worthy of my Oriental family."
He sighed, acting as if he believed Su Tao was Oriental Yang's future wife, "It's a pity Xiaotaozi's background is a bit lacking. If her background were higher, those other old fogeys in the family would never reject the marriage."
After speaking, he wanted to see Chi Xiaocheng's reaction.
However, he found the little loli had her mouth open wide, her eyes vacant, looking incredulous.
After a long while, she murmured with a hint of grievance and confusion, "But... but Brother Oriental, he... he said he liked me!"
"Besides... besides, last time Sister Su Tao said she only saw Brother Oriental as an older brother."
Oriental Wen: "Huh?"
There was an expert?
Looking at Chi Xiaocheng, weak, helpless, and aggrieved, with an expression as if the sky had fallen because she liked Oriental Yang but heard such terrible news, Oriental Wen was completely dumbfounded.
He had calculated everything, but he hadn't anticipated that Oriental Yang had already confessed.
Wait... had that kid finally wised up?
But before the sisters lost their memories, their feelings for each other had already reached the point where they were willing to die for each other.
Had he wised up, or had he been persuaded?
Only Oriental Wen knew what he was really thinking, but the emotions displayed in Chi Xiaocheng's eyes were just that.
He shifted the blame onto Oriental Yang, easily defusing this test.
Soon, an awkward expression appeared on Oriental Wen's face, "This... I really didn't know about this."
Then he became furious, "That kid Oriental Yang actually wants to have his cake and eat it too! Xiaochengzi, you wait, this old man will go beat him up and make him kneel down and apologize to you!"
Seeing Oriental Wen angrily heading out, Chi Xiaocheng quickly jumped out of bed and stopped him, "Eh, Grandpa Oriental, wait, wait!"
She defended Oriental Yang, "Maybe... maybe it's just a misunderstanding, I believe Brother Oriental isn't that kind of person!"
"So... so please don't beat him up, okay?"
Oriental Wen took the opportunity to back down, sighing, "Ah, Xiaochengzi, you're just too soft-hearted. Maybe this old man is just senile. I always thought Oriental Yang liked Xiaotaozi, so there was this misunderstanding."
"No way, Grandpa Oriental is very smart, not senile at all. Don't say that!" Chi Xiaocheng still acted like a good granddaughter, pulling him back to the chair by the bed, and then said, "Let's not talk about Brother Oriental Yang for now. Grandpa, you're here to treat my illness, right? Can I ask... how will you treat me?"
Oriental Wen immediately tapped his head, "Look at this old fool, I just kept chatting and forgot about that."
His tone slowed down, "Oriental Yang and Xiaotaozi told me that you might have lost some of your memory, so you need hypnosis to help you remember. Don't worry, it's just a matter of sleeping, it won't be painful."
"Sleep?"
"Yes." Oriental Wen nodded, "There are actually many types of hypnosis. Xiaochengzi must be thinking of the scary kind, right?"
Chi Xiaocheng said somewhat fearfully, "I heard that after being hypnotized, people will become obedient and no longer be themselves. That feeling... is very uncomfortable."
This was a concern from her subconscious, and Chi Xiaocheng wasn't lying.
Her biggest fear wasn't her acting being exposed.
It was the type of hypnosis that made her obedient, where she would say whatever she was asked.
This was also what Si Chen was worried about before.
Once hypnotized, if she said whatever she was asked, the fact that she hadn't lost her memories could be interpreted as successful hypnosis, so her subconscious memories were being drawn out.
But what about her memories as a transmigrator?
If she revealed all that, it would be a big problem!
Oriental Wen could lead other topics, but Chi Xiaocheng needed to take the initiative on this one.
Oriental Wen seemed to see Chi Xiaocheng's concerns and smiled gently, "It won't be like that, that's just in the movies. With grandpa, you can choose the type of hypnosis, okay?"
Chi Xiaocheng suddenly looked up, "I can choose?"
"Of course." Oriental Wen said, "There are many types of hypnosis, and many ways to trigger memories. What you just described is one type. Besides that, there's also hypnotizing you and having you unconsciously do things you've done before. After you wake up, these things will be deeply ingrained in your mind."
"Or, you could sleep and your mind would enter your subconscious, having a lucid dream. When you wake up, you'll clearly remember everything that happened in the dream, and those will be the memories you've forgotten."
"There are many others besides these..."
Oriental Wen explained one by one, and when he gave Chi Xiaocheng time to think, she chose dream inception without hesitation.
Sleeping and whether or not to restore memories could be decided by her later.
This choice didn't surprise Oriental Wen, "Then let's choose that. So there's nothing to worry about, just wake up from a sleep, and everything will be fine."
"Besides, restoring memories doesn't necessarily require hypnosis. There are many other methods. Let's take our time over the next few days. If you want to try it someday, then we'll try it."
He emphasized that it could be done at any time.
But Chi Xiaocheng knew that this was just a way for the other party to reduce her guard.
If he didn't have a sufficient understanding of her, the possibility of hypnosis failing was very high.
Not to mention accurately confirming which memories she had lost and then hypnotizing her to find those memories.
But the situation didn't allow Chi Xiaocheng to relax.
She had already used one ultimate acting skill.
She didn't even have 1000 emotion points left.
How could she last for several days?
You old bastard, you're really insidious!
