Chapter 362 Little Cheng, Oh My, I'M Truly Scheming~

Zeng Xiuhua was dumbfounded by Su Tao's tricky question.

She was grabbed by the neck and lifted into the air.

Her feet dangled half a meter above the ground.

This made her face turn red and her breathing extremely difficult.

With the last bit of strength she had, she glanced at the pitiful-looking Chi Xiaocheng, and Zeng Xiuhua's brain desperately used its remaining oxygen to curse Su Tao.

What did she mean, "Why do you call her Chengcheng?"

That's how I've always called her.

It's just a nickname, and you're going to strangle me for it?

And I haven't even done anything, I haven't even touched her!

Chi Xiaocheng was startled when she saw me and started crying, and you're blaming me?

If Chi Xiaocheng scrapes her skin, are you going to cut me with a knife?

Zeng Xiuhua cursed Su Tao's entire lineage, but the words that came out of her mouth were a strained, "You... you're choking me, how... how can I talk?"

You won't let me go, how am I supposed to answer you?

Su Tao's hand twitched, and she tossed Zeng Xiuhua onto the ground.

The latter rolled and landed awkwardly, clutching her neck and coughing dryly. But feeling the burning gaze behind her, she quickly shouted.

"I didn't do anything, okay!"

"I didn't even touch her! She bumped into the door herself and that's why she's crying!"

"Are you crazy... is the wind blew the door shut you blame me?"

She changed her tune quickly and looked directly at Chi Xiaocheng.

Hoping to get Chi Xiaocheng to agree with her.

Su Tao is just a madwoman!

Luckily, Chi Xiaocheng is a simple idiot; if she sticks up for me, at least Su Tao won't be so reactive.

But who would have thought?

Chi Xiaocheng, who she thought was simple and stupid, and never lied, squeezed out a few more tears while nodding.

She looked at Su Tao with pleading eyes, saying in a soft voice, "She... she didn't hit me, but she scared me just now..."

In an instant, the girl was consumed by rage.

Zeng Xiuhua opened her mouth wide, completely stunned.

"No... I... you..."

"Slap!"

The slap knocked out one of Zeng Xiuhua's teeth. Her cheek quickly turned red, and blood began to flow from her nose and mouth.

She felt her head buzzing, and the pain quickly turned numb.

She swore she hadn't even touched Chi Xiaocheng's hair.

The only time she tried to touch her head to coax her, she dodged it.

Tears of grievance welled up in her eyes. After all, she was still a girl, and she couldn't help but cry, "I... I didn't do anything. After you beat me last time, why would I be crazy enough to provoke you again? I even told her that I was going to distance myself from her!"

"You... you hit me again!"

Her cries were loud, and the girls from the neighboring dormitories came over to see what was going on.

Su Tao ignored Zeng Xiuhua's explanation and coldly snorted, "This slap is the interest on all the times you bullied Xiaocheng in the past. If I ever hear you call her 'Chengcheng' again, you can expect to spend the rest of your life in jail!"

Su Tao was, of course, rational.

Making a big scene wouldn't be good for either her or Chi Xiaocheng.

But a few girls had gathered outside the door and were quietly discussing.

Some girls who had arrived late asked in hushed voices, "We're late, what happened?"

"Isn't it obvious? That girl bullied Chi Xiaocheng, and Su Tao came to protect her sister after finding out."

"That's Zeng Xiuhua. I thought she had dropped out. She always bullies people. It's good that she got beat up!"

"You guys came late, you don't know. I was here from the beginning. Look at Chi Xiaocheng's forehead. Zeng Xiuhua grabbed Chi Xiaocheng by the back of the head and slammed it hard against the iron door. That must be a serious injury!"

"Could she have a concussion?"

One person told ten, and ten told a hundred.

That's how gossip spreads.

It wasn't until Su Tao picked up Chi Xiaocheng's luggage and pulled her away that the whispering subsided.

Su Tao checked Chi Xiaocheng and was relieved to see that her forehead was only slightly red and swollen.

She poked the small wound on Chi Xiaocheng's forehead and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"A little bit."

It didn't really hurt, but why would Chi Xiaocheng tell the truth?

She wanted Su Tao's concern.

But what she got was the girl's serious analysis, "Your skin is just too delicate, Xiaocheng. That's why it leaves a mark after being touched like that."

Su Tao squatted down slightly, first stuck out her tongue and moistened her index finger on it, then gently rubbed it on the wound on Chi Xiaocheng's forehead.

Spit can reduce swelling, a folk remedy that people in the village taught when she was little.

But seemingly finding this too troublesome, Su Tao simply kissed Chi Xiaocheng's forehead.

Her small tongue moved across her skin a couple of times.

It wasn't until Chi Xiaocheng's ears turned a little red that Su Tao let go, "That should be better now. Even when you're resting, don't go back to your dorm. Go to 801. Whether you're resting or sleeping, stay in my dorm."

"There's still an empty bed in there. Xiaocheng, just move up here. Chen Qian and Xiao Wei can take care of you if anything happens."

After Su Tao finished speaking, she saw Chi Xiaocheng looking down without saying a word.

She called out again, "Xiaocheng?"

Chi Xiaocheng nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.

Su Tao took a closer look and noticed Chi Xiaocheng's slightly red earlobes. Only then did she understand what was going on.

She smiled knowingly and took Chi Xiaocheng's hand, "Okay, let's go to my dorm first. The bed next to mine is for you."

As she turned around, a satisfied smile appeared on Su Tao's lips.

Unbeknownst to her, Chi Xiaocheng, who was following behind her, no longer had a blushing face. She reached out and touched her still slightly damp forehead.

A satisfied smile appeared on her face as well.

When they arrived at the 801 dorm, Chi Xiaocheng saw that the cleaning was already coming to an end. Chen Qian had just tied up a trash bag and was looking at Xiao Wei, who was almost falling asleep while leaning on the broom, with her hands on her hips.

She said speechlessly, "Xiao Wei, quickly sweep away the dust under your feet. If you fall asleep again, I'll throw you out of the dorm building!"

"Ugh... the dorm is already clean, we did a thorough cleaning before we left, okay? Why do we have to sweep it again?"

Xiao Wei said mournfully, waving the broom weakly.

She hated anything other than sleeping.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to a meal later."

Su Tao stepped into the dorm. In fact, the two of them had already been cleaning before she arrived.

But Chen Qian was more concerned about Chi Xiaocheng and asked in surprise, "Why did Xiaocheng come up here too, and with her suitcase?"

Su Tao said, "It's not safe for Xiaocheng to live downstairs alone. Didn't our other roommate transfer schools last semester? The empty bed is just right for Xiaocheng."

When Chen Qian heard this, her eyes lit up at first.

Then she gave Su Tao a meaningful look, "Oh, if you ask me, don't even bother making up a new bed, that's too much trouble. Just let Xiaocheng sleep with you."
