Chapter 373 Chapter 371: Si Chen Really Likes Xiao Cheng!
Chapter 371: Si Chen Really Likes Xiao Cheng!
At the same time, something even more vexing and worrying happened to Su Tao.
Chi Xiaocheng was apparently too popular at school.
Whether it started with the last gift or because college students were bored with nothing to do, the Nine Provinces University's campus belle and campus hunk rankings, pushed by the journalism department, had been updated again.
After removing the inexplicable anime characters and *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* characters, Ye Liang, who was originally first on the campus hunk list, was removed due to dropping out. Now, Dongfang Yang had claimed the top spot.
The first place on the campus belle list was originally Su Tao, but perhaps due to a sense of novelty, the avatar currently in first place was a dazed image of Chi Xiaocheng propping her cheek and yawning during class.
In her normal, non-*yandere* state, her orange-tinted eyes with a hint of red were very unique, her delicate pink lips slightly parted, and her expression languid.
That pitiful, frail feeling, combined with her exquisite face, was simply adorable.
More importantly, a major bonus was that Chi Xiaocheng was a rare legal loli!
Nineteen years old, such an ambiguous and beautiful age.
Because of this, she, who was still single, was constantly being pursued.
Almost every day, boys would "bump into" Chi Xiaocheng, either giving her gifts or inviting her to dinner.
Among them were quite a few young masters.
Even though Chi Xiaocheng refused again and again, it was to no avail.
Su Tao was so anxious watching this, fearing that Chi Xiaocheng would be moved by someone and develop feelings for them.
The problem of emotions and memories that she had temporarily put aside seemed to have been forced back onto the table.
Just like now, on the weekend, Su Tao should have been at home with Chi Xiaocheng, resting, or chatting and going out to play together.
But she had failed four subjects last semester due to missing exams and had to come to make them up. However, she had barely arrived at the classroom when she received the news.
Chi Xiaocheng had gone out to play with Si Chen!
Gone out to play with Si Chen!
Si Chen!
This was even posted on the school forum, and some paparazzi had even taken photos of the two walking down the street.
The good news was that they weren't holding hands.
The bad news was that they seemed to be talking and laughing, especially Si Chen, who couldn't have looked more pleased with himself.
"No, I have to confirm what these two are up to!"
After one short class, Su Tao couldn't sit still any longer, and she almost crushed her phone.
She quickly asked the teacher for leave and hurried back to the dormitory. "Chen Qian, didn't you have a set of clothes that you used to spy on that little star last time? Let me borrow them!"
As soon as she returned to the dormitory, Su Tao was met with a glare from Chen Qian. "What do you mean 'spy on the little star'? She's my long-admired music goddess. You have no idea how good her songs are. To call my paparazzi outfit 'spying'?"
"Ugh, whatever, that's not important. Just lend it to me."
Chen Qian opened the closet in confusion. "What bad things are you planning to do with my clothes?"
"Nothing, I just saw on the forum that Xiao Cheng went shopping with Si Chen, and I'm going to follow them to see what's going on."
That's what she said, but Su Tao seemed very anxious.
But for Chen Qian, this was undoubtedly a job.
She immediately took out the large trench coat that almost covered her entire body. "I'll go with you."
Su Tao was stunned. "You're going too?"
"Of course!" Chen Qian said with a serious look. "We're best friends. Your business is my business. If necessary, I'll be your wingman and distract Si Chen!"
With that, she threw the trench coat into Su Tao's hands.
Which made the girl extremely touched. "Chen Qian, you're really... I'll treat you to beef noodles at noon!"
Trench coat, scarf, hat, sunglasses.
To hide her identity, Su Tao also let down her beautiful hair, abandoning her usual high ponytail.
Like a celebrity going out, she hid herself completely.
Chen Qian obviously had more than one set of such clothes. After the two were fully armed, they immediately left the dormitory.
Chen Qian asked, "Do you know where Chi Xiaocheng and Si Chen are now?"
Su Tao glanced at her phone. "The latest news from the paparazzi on the forum is that they're at Bamboo Cafe."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, there are even paparazzi. Is Xiao Cheng so popular at school?"
"You know how those college students are, bored with nothing to do!"
Following Xiao Cheng, secretly photographing Xiao Cheng, Su Tao's teeth were itching, and she wished she could kill them all.
But reason told her that this was a harmonious society.
In any case, she would first see what that Si Chen guy wanted to do to Xiao Cheng!
The two rushed to Bamboo Cafe and, sure enough, saw Si Chen and Chi Xiaocheng sitting inside, each with a cup of coffee, chatting and laughing.
The cafe was crowded on the weekend, and many students were holding laptops to freeload electricity and Wi-Fi.
Su Tao had no choice but to find a corner seat with Chen Qian.
They could see Chi Xiaocheng and Si Chen, but they couldn't hear what they were saying.
Chen Qian pushed up her sunglasses and said slowly, "Looking at their expressions, they must be talking about something happy, especially Si Chen. He might really be winning Chi Xiaocheng over."
Su Tao was already on edge, and Chen Qian's words immediately made her nod frantically. "You think so too, right? He said before that he treated me and Xiao Cheng like younger sisters. I knew he wasn't a good person!"
"You... look, Si Chen, he... he actually!"
Su Tao suddenly widened her eyes, almost getting up to rush over.
She saw Si Chen, who was chatting, put two cubes of sugar into Chi Xiaocheng's coffee and patiently stir it for her.
Such a gentlemanly, intimate gesture. Was he going to say that Si Chen had no thoughts about Chi Xiaocheng?
If Chen Qian hadn't quickly grabbed Su Tao, the latter would have already rushed up.
But in reality, Su Tao had really misunderstood Si Chen.
He had asked Chi Xiaocheng out today purely to share good news.
Because of the series of materials provided by Chi Xiaocheng, coupled with Chi Song's help, Si Chen was now in complete control of the Si family in Nine Provinces City after Si Zhenliu's death.
He truly had his own territory.
Even though it was weak, he now had the opportunity to challenge his eldest brother from the Si family in the capital.
Now, in Nine Provinces City, Dongfang Yang's Dongfang family was the largest, and Second Young Master Ye and his Si family were on par. Even without Dongfang Yang, and assuming that people from the capital didn't interfere, Si Chen could still compete with Second Young Master Ye.
Because of this, the possibility of accidents like Chu Lingfeng's last time, and the assassin's assassination, would be greatly reduced.
However, Si Chen was worried about another matter.
He said to Chi Xiaocheng, "The latest news that my people have investigated is that Chu Lingfeng has arrived in the capital and has also connected with another person. That person... I'm afraid will be very difficult to deal with."
Chi Xiaocheng hadn't expected that Chu Lingfeng, after eating the poisoned apple, hadn't died in time and had even escaped to the capital.
But in her eyes, this protagonist, who had lost his luck, was no longer a threat. "If he dares to return to Nine Provinces City, then just get rid of him. It's that simple."
Si Chen smiled wryly upon hearing this. "Getting rid of him is easy, but the person he's connected with is very troublesome."
"Who is it?"
"A certain young princess from the capital circle."
The moment Si Chen said these words, Chi Xiaocheng understood who he was talking about.
That sugar mama of a female supporting character was about to appear!
