Chapter 358 Going Home

Everything felt natural to Chi Xiaocheng.

After Su Tao led her out of the hospital, she "accidentally" discovered Dongfang Yang waiting there.

Upon inquiry, she was even more "surprised" to find that Dongfang Yang was waiting for her, so she apologized with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Dongfang Yang, I didn't know you were waiting."

"I already called for a car, and the driver is almost here, so it wouldn't be good to refuse..."

Of course, Dongfang Yang didn't realize that Su Tao simply didn't want Chi Xiaocheng to ride in her car. He only felt that Su Tao cared about strangers, as if she had recovered much of her normalcy.

Looking at her, apart from seeming a little lacking in energy, Dongfang Yang didn't feel that Su Tao was surrounded by the same aura of death as before.

Instead, she radiated a new vitality.

So he instructed, "Alright then, but you must be careful. Don't let Chu Lingfeng kidnap you again, understand?"

Even though Chu Lingfeng had fled to the capital, there was no guarantee that he didn't have any remnants.

Dragon King Xiao Ming still hadn't found him.

There was also Ye Ershao, who had taken Ye Liang's place, and he feared that he would make a move.

However, thinking that Su Tao had awakened her power as a martial artist, Dongfang Yang felt much relieved.

After chatting casually, he saw the driver arrive and drove away.

Su Tao also pulled Chi Xiaocheng into the car.

During their chat, she asked a very important question, "Tao Tao, you said you haven't left my side for a moment these past few days. If we haven't been home for three or four days, have Da Wang and Xiao Ran... been taken care of?"

Su Tao's mood was originally quite good, but when she heard Chi Xiaocheng say this, her smile immediately froze.

Her mind was entirely on Chi Xiaocheng; how could she have cared about the two cats at home?

The two exchanged a look, and Chi Xiaocheng immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.

"Tao Tao, you didn't... even prepare food for them, did you?"

"Emmm..." Even though Su Tao's acting skills had greatly improved due to her talent, she couldn't help but feel guilty, "It should be fine. Da Wang will go out and scavenge for garbage when it's hungry. It's used to it."

"What about Xiao Ran?"

"Xiaocheng, you know that Xiao Ran is even better-behaved than Da Wang. Even if it scavenges for garbage, it won't blame us."

"..."

Those cats are unlucky to have a caretaker like you.

But I'm glad you can focus all your attention on me.

Thinking about all the pressure she had put on Su Tao in the past, and the fact that she still couldn't accept Su Tao's confession because of the will of the world, Chi Xiaocheng felt a little guilty.

She slowly moved closer to Su Tao, snuggled into her arms, and said softly, "Then tonight... can we still sleep together?"

Actively bringing up this topic.

Even with the emotional premise of treating Su Tao as an "older sister," Chi Xiaocheng hoped to give the girl a little more warmth.

If her feelings haven't been restored, even as a younger sister, I should give Tao Tao more opportunities to like me.

So she can love me more.

And enjoy me more.

In addition to relieving pressure, showing off my cute side will make people like me even more.

Just as Chi Xiaocheng thought, her actively suggesting that they sleep together was completely different from Su Tao bringing it up first.

The joy on the girl's face was visible to the naked eye.

She lent her shoulder to Chi Xiaocheng to lean on, leaned over and kissed her forehead, and said very gently, "Of course there's no problem."

Naturally, neither of them noticed that when Su Tao kissed Chi Xiaocheng's forehead, the driver happened to glance in the rearview mirror.

This married uncle, seeing that both girls were so pleasing to the eye and adorable, originally had the idea of having a sweet little daughter of his own.

But he was also afraid that his future cabbage would be stolen by a pig.

Then he took another look.

Instantly, the uncle felt like he had opened the door to a new world.

Maybe a cabbage *can* go steal other cabbages?

When they got back home, Chi Xiaocheng was a little worried that the two cats might have really gone to rummage through the trash cans again.

Fortunately, as soon as she entered, she saw the two cats playing inside.

Da Wang was holding a small velvet ball, using its high intelligence, easily teasing Xiao Ran.

Upon seeing Chi Xiaocheng, it immediately put down the velvet ball and pounced over.

Glancing around, Chi Xiaocheng found that Da Wang was surprisingly clean, so she felt relieved and hugged the chubby little thing in her arms.

"I thought you two would be rummaging through the trash cans without anyone taking care of you. You seem to be in good spirits."

"Meow~"

Da Wang stuck out its tongue and licked Chi Xiaocheng's face.

Because she had established a deep connection with it, Chi Xiaocheng vaguely understood the meaning of its words.

Someone came to take care of them while she and Tao Tao were away?

Big brother?

Then Xiao Ran brought over a small note and rubbed against Chi Xiaocheng's white socks, which she had just changed into.

"What's written on it?"

Su Tao was also a little curious. She had just changed her shoes and originally thought the two cats would have made a mess of the house again.

"Let me see..." Chi Xiaocheng took the note and then understood, "So it turns out that Fang Ning came by, cleaned up for us, gave the two cats a bath, and prepared the cat food."

Chi Xiaocheng couldn't help but smile slightly, "Ningning even secretly sent a few packs of cat food from the cat cafe, saving us a lot of money."

But she didn't notice that Su Tao behind her narrowed her eyes slightly, "How did Fang Ning get the key to our house?"

"Hmm... I think I recorded her fingerprint once before and gave her a door card."

"That's good too." Su Tao reached out and rubbed Da Wang's head, "We really need to thank Xiao Fang Ning when we're not home."

"Huh?"

This time, it was Chi Xiaocheng's turn to feel a little strange.

Wasn't Tao Tao a little hostile towards Ningning?

Weird.

But Chi Xiaocheng didn't think too much about it, hugging Da Wang in one arm and Xiao Ran in the other, "Then I'll go back to my room first. Staying in the hospital for too long, there's nothing like your own bed."

"Okay, go ahead. I'll go out later to buy groceries and prepare dinner."

Su Tao still wore that gentle smile, watching Chi Xiaocheng walk into the room.

Then the sound of the door closing echoed.

The smile remained for half a minute.

She came to the door, looked at the electronic lock, tilted her head, and touched her chin.

Then she reached out, clamping both sides of the electronic lock to fix it.

The blue veins on her arms rippled slightly.

A huge force was exerted.

Only a muffled sound was heard, and the entire lock was twisted halfway off by Su Tao.

"Hello... property management? Yes, yes, my house seems to have been burglarized. I don't know how the lock broke. Can you contact a locksmith to help me replace it?"

"There's no need to check the surveillance. I'll pay for it myself."

"Okay, okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Su Tao came to the refrigerator, looked at what was left inside, packed her things, and hummed a little tune as she went out to buy groceries.

As if the door lock had nothing to do with her at all.
