Chapter 375 – Xiao Cheng’S Cuteness Belongs To Me
Just like Su Tao’s usual demeanor.
Last semester, she failed four subjects. She was busy, attending classes every day, sometimes even at night without rest.
This kind of hectic life, combined with constant chatting on WeChat or QQ, made Chi Xiao Cheng—who was unaware of Su Tao’s acting skills—naturally assume that Su Tao was under a bit of pressure, eager to monopolize her, yet still maintaining a relatively normal attitude.
There was a hint of something unhealthy in her tendencies.
But she definitely hadn’t become a yandere.
And she really liked her—didn’t want to let her go.
This was Chi Xiao Cheng’s most direct impression of Su Tao, and it also made her happy and satisfied with the changes in Su Tao.
The "heaven-sent rich beauty" was about to make her entrance. Chu Lingfeng had already gone to the capital and would soon return to Jiuzhou City with someone in tow. Chi Xiao Cheng cared more about emotional points, but even if she didn’t think her concern for Su Tao had lessened, she still made sure to stay by the girl’s side every time Su Tao was resting.
But what about from the girl’s perspective?
To Su Tao, Chi Xiao Cheng—who wasn’t a yandere and only saw her as an older sister emotionally—had an overly rich daily life.
Going on dates with Si Chen and Dongfang Yang.
Being confessed to by numerous boys.
Occasionally, even some NPCs Su Tao didn’t recognize at all would manage to exchange a few words with Chi Xiao Cheng.
She didn’t understand that Chi Xiao Cheng was collecting emotional points, preparing to better protect her once the "heaven-sent female rival" arrived.
All Su Tao could see was that the little girl who had once adored her so much was drifting further and further away.
Her anxiety grew.
And her acting deepened accordingly.
Wednesday.
Su Tao finally had a morning without classes, so she stayed home to rest with Chi Xiao Cheng.
At home, Chi Xiao Cheng was well-behaved and sweet—something Su Tao adored.
In the early morning, rising from the blankets, she could see the girl still drowsy with sleep, instinctively licking her lips and raising her arms high.
Having lived together for so long, Su Tao naturally understood the signal she was giving off.
It’s time to change out of her pajamas.
But if she ignored her for too long, another scene would unfold.
Chi Xiao Cheng would kneel on the bed in a seiza pose, arms still raised until they grew tired. Then, she’d blink open her eyes, pout at Su Tao for not helping her get dressed, and clench a tiny fist in mock anger, as if threatening to hit her.
At this point, all Su Tao had to do was grab a casual long-sleeved loungewear set, walk over, and give the little girl a hug. Instantly, Chi Xiao Cheng would beam with the triumphant expression of a victor.
Gently undressing her, then helping her into fresh clothes.
When her fingertips accidentally brushed against the girl’s ribs or slender waist, she could feel her shiver ever so slightly.
It was unbearably cute—a kind of delicate charm that made it impossible not to lose oneself in these mundane, everyday moments.
Next, like a dutiful servant, she led Chi Xiao Cheng to the bathroom sink.
"Xiao Cheng, do you want to brush your teeth yourself, or should I help you?"
"I’ll do it myself."
Occasionally, the little girl wouldn’t feel like moving, and Su Tao was more than happy to take care of her. It gave her the feeling of pampering her own little kitten.
(Of course, Da Wang and Xiao Ran didn’t count—those two weren’t as cute as Xiao Cheng. They could just scavenge for scraps.)
While Chi Xiao Cheng brushed her teeth, Su Tao would pick up a comb and smooth out the girl’s slightly messy bedhead.
Breakfast was a leisurely affair, especially since Chi Xiao Cheng would always praise her cooking.
And after the meal, if they weren’t going out, they’d choose between the sofa or the bedroom.
Not for anything indecent, of course—just to bask in each other’s company, savoring the quiet warmth of everyday life.
Like now, Chi Xiao Cheng leaned against Su Tao’s chest while scrolling through her phone, while Su Tao stroked her hair and admired her adorable face.
Every now and then, she’d pinch those soft cheeks, reveling in the plush, delightful texture.
Even if they did nothing at all, time spent like this never felt dull.
The comfort and healing slowly washed away the stress accumulated from a week of classes.
The word "happiness" seemed to saturate the entire room.
Then came lunch, marking the end of their unhurried morning.
In the afternoon, Su Tao had classes. Normally, even if she was reluctant, she’d still head to school cheerfully.
The morning’s warmth recharged her, giving her the energy to power through the afternoon while looking forward to the evening—when she could hold the little girl in her arms again. Was there anything more worth anticipating?
If an "accident" ever happened, she might even get to bathe with Xiao Cheng.
Letting her wretched heart indulge in some secret, unspeakable satisfaction.
But now, things had changed.
By two in the afternoon, Su Tao could no longer delay leaving. After changing and putting on her shoes, she waved goodbye.
"Xiao Cheng, I’m off to class. I have evening lectures too, so you’ll have to handle dinner on your own."
"Mhm! Be careful, Tao Tao. Don’t worry about me—I’m much healthier now than before!"
Chi Xiao Cheng’s smile was as sweet and endearing as ever.
Su Tao adored that smile.
It made her wonder—Does Xiao Cheng, even if her emotions haven’t fully recovered, like me a little too? She never refuses when I sneak a kiss on her cheek.
But such thoughts usually vanished as quickly as they came.
She left the apartment, but instead of heading straight to school, she lingered in an unnoticed corner.
About half an hour later, a fiery red sports car appeared.
Not even five minutes after that, Chi Xiao Cheng—now wearing an adorable orange hoodie—skipped out of the apartment complex.
"Good afternoon, Young Master Dongfang~ Thanks for picking me up again!"
Her voice was just loud enough to reach Su Tao’s ears.
Dongfang Yang, already waiting by the car, tossed his stylish red hair. "It’s nothing. I was just bored today, so I figured I’d hang out with you."
Chi Xiao Cheng squinted playfully. "New hairdo? You look really cool."
Dongfang Yang grinned even wider. "I’ve always been this handsome. If you think flattery will make me happy, you’re dead wrong. Today, I’m the cold, aloof type."
[Supporting Character Dongfang Yang is pleased by the host’s praise. Emotional Points +14…]
Chi Xiao Cheng didn’t care about Dongfang Yang’s words, but she loved the system’s notification.
Yes, Si Chen didn’t yield many emotional points.
But this guy, Lao Yang? Farming his emotions was like doing a daily quest—just praise him a bit, let him preen, and he’d reliably generate around 200 points.
Not a huge amount, but for Chi Xiao Cheng right now, it was steady income.
Since Dongfang Yang was happy, she was happy too.
But someone hiding in the shadows was not happy.
A hand gripped the corner of the wall.
Her eyes flickered between brown and faint red, over and over.
Finally, Su Tao gritted her teeth and spat out three words at Dongfang Yang:
"Homewrecker!"
