Chapter 363 The Overbearing Su Tao
The Overbearing Su Tao
Chi Xiaocheng's confusion and doubt lasted only a short while.
Almost the instant Zeng Xiuhua glared at her, she immediately shrank her neck and took a step back in extreme fear.
Because she was clumsy to begin with, she stumbled as she retreated, trying to get out of the way, only to realize she was too close to the doorframe.
As she turned, her forehead slammed directly into the dormitory door.
A crisp "thwack" echoed.
The door responded with a "bang," and then slammed shut.
Chi Xiaocheng immediately clutched her forehead and crouched down, tears welling up as the pain mingled with her fear of being beaten by Zeng Xiuhua. The soft, cute, and vulnerable loli looked on the verge of tears.
"Waaah... it hurts so much!"
Her voice was soft and delicate, and Chi Xiaocheng was almost facing away from Zeng Xiuhua.
After a long neural delay, she quickly turned around, covered her chest, and looked timidly at the heavily made-up woman.
Anyone who saw such a loli would probably be overcome with two different desires.
One was the urge to protect her.
The other was to brutally trample on her.
And those who were already dark inside would become even more vicious if they saw that the person they were bullying dared not resist.
Chi Xiaocheng was exploiting the latter psychology. If nothing went wrong, Tao Tao would be down in half an hour. What would happen if she saw her being bullied?
Oh no, she was starting to look forward to that scene.
Being protected by Tao Tao again, how wonderful!
Chi Xiaocheng was secretly pleased, but her acting on her face didn't diminish in the slightest. Zeng Xiuhua, as she expected, revealed a playful and mocking smile.
Then, she quickly suppressed that inappropriate expression and instead put on a smile. "Who do we have here? It's Orange. It's just been a while. Is there any need to be so afraid of me?"
She was like a confident hunter toying with prey trapped in a desperate situation.
But stalling for time was exactly what Chi Xiaocheng wanted.
So she replied with great fear, "You used to lie to me and bully me. I... if you dare do anything to me today, Tao Tao won't let you get away with it!"
Hearing Su Tao's name, the hatred in Zeng Xiuhua's eyes flashed for a moment.
She continued to smile, "Come on, those were all misunderstandings, weren't they? I never bullied you. The last argument was just because I was confused by your departure."
She sighed and walked toward Chi Xiaocheng. "In the beginning, you told me that Su Tao didn't want you anymore, so we became good friends and besties, didn't we? I even lent you my makeup."
"Who knew Su Tao would go crazy later and try to interfere in our friendship."
"And you still cared about Su Tao, which made me very sad at the time."
Sad was an understatement.
She simply hated Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao to death.
Not only was she beaten, but she was so afraid of retaliation that she took a long vacation and hid at home, but she was still caught by that Dongfang simp.
She was stuck in the detention center for several months, and couldn't even go home for the New Year!
Because of this incident, she became the laughingstock of the entire village.
Looking at Chi Xiaocheng's pitiful, innocent face, Zeng Xiuhua wanted nothing more than to tear it to shreds.
She looked down at Chi Xiaocheng, and when she saw that the latter seemed to be petrified with fright, she couldn't help but remind her, "What's wrong, Orange? Say something."
Chi Xiaocheng bit her lip. "Su Tao... Senior Martial Sister Su Tao, she, she only argued with me last time because of Ye Liang. She actually... she actually still cares about me. I won't let you talk about her like that!"
She raised her eyes, tears still in them, but her gaze was incomparably firm.
Zeng Xiuhua scoffed and reached out to touch Chi Xiaocheng's head.
But Chi Xiaocheng quickly ducked her head to avoid it.
She thought Chi Xiaocheng would be angry.
But she heard her say nonchalantly, "Think what you want. Su Tao and I do have conflicts, but I don't want to have an unpleasant relationship with you, since we're in the same dorm."
Chi Xiaocheng: "???"
Zeng Xiuhua: "Don't look at me with such astonishment. I've been forced to reform myself during this time, and I was lucky to be bailed out. I'm not someone who doesn't know what's good for me."
"At least I won't do anything to you guys in the future. I don't want to have my student status revoked."
Seeing Zeng Xiuhua turn away and speak indifferently, Chi Xiaocheng was surprised.
Had she changed her personality?
No, the vigilance skill was still subtly warning her.
This Zeng Xiuhua definitely had something in mind, but she didn't dare to act because of something.
So, was she really afraid of Su Tao?
Chi Xiaocheng couldn't figure it out. Zeng Xiuhua had already extended an invitation. "Speaking of which, have you eaten? How about we go out for a meal together? My treat, as a way to let bygones be bygones."
The vigilance skill didn't give a stronger response, but instead completely subsided.
This also proved that Zeng Xiuhua really wanted to treat her to a meal.
At the same time, she had suppressed her hostility toward her.
Recalling that she almost failed against Chu Lingfeng last time, Chi Xiaocheng still shook her head cautiously. "Forget it, I won't go. I'll wait for Tao Tao to come down in a bit."
Hearing that Su Tao was coming down in a bit, Zeng Xiuhua raised her eyebrows a few times.
She smiled at Chi Xiaocheng and said, "So Orange, can we continue to be friends starting today?"
One shouldn't hit a smiling face.
Chi Xiaocheng wanted to see what kind of tricks Zeng Xiuhua was up to, so she nodded. "Okay."
"Then see you tomorrow, Orange. I'll go out for breakfast first."
Zeng Xiuhua turned around, picked up her makeup mirror, and opened the dormitory door while applying makeup.
But standing in front of her was a "huge" shadow.
The shadow completely blocked the sunlight from outside, scaring Zeng Xiuhua into taking two steps back.
When she caught sight of the familiar, beautiful face, Zeng Xiuhua cursed her bad luck under her breath.
She knew Su Tao would come, but she didn't expect her to come down so quickly.
Oh well, there was no conflict between them now, and she hadn't bullied Chi Xiaocheng.
Zeng Xiuhua turned sideways and tried to squeeze out of the door, but she noticed that Su Tao deliberately reached out a hand to stop her.
Zeng Xiuhua frowned. "Su Tao, what do you mean? You already beat me up last time, and you even had someone get me thrown into the detention center. I don't want to cause trouble with you in the new semester. Please move aside."
Su Tao raised an eyebrow. "I'm glad you have such awareness. I'm too lazy to cause trouble for you either, but one thing is separate from another."
The girl tilted her chin, looking down with a displeased tone. "What did you mean by calling Little Orange 'Orange' just now?"
"Heh, what else could it mean? Chi Xiaocheng and I are just ordinary friends. The misunderstanding was cleared up just now."
Su Tao immediately looked at Chi Xiaocheng, casting an inquiring gaze.
The latter still had that frightened expression, and she nodded lightly when faced with Su Tao's gaze.
Zeng Xiuhua said indifferently, "See? I didn't cause you any trouble, either. We'll live and let live... Ugh!"
Her words stopped abruptly. Su Tao directly grabbed Zeng Xiuhua by the neck with one hand and lifted her up.
"You said you didn't bully Little Orange, so why was she crying?"
The girl's body seemed to be gradually adapting to the War God bloodline after that one blackening.
Powerful and overbearing.
