Chapter 376: Dongfang Yang, I'Ll Kill You! (Bonus Chapter For Uni)
Su Tao knew that Chi Xiaocheng often went out to play with Dongfang Yang. Today, she deliberately didn't go straight to school, just wanting to see what the two usually talked about, what they played, whether it was topics between "siblings," or... another kind of topic.
Now it seemed it was definitely the latter. Xiaocheng actually praised Dongfang Yang for being handsome! Praised him for being handsome! When I carefully dressed up in front of her, Xiaocheng never once praised me for being "pretty"! Not once!
A resentful gaze seemed to travel through the air to Dongfang Yang. From a distance, he rubbed his neck, looking around.
Chi Xiaocheng asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, my neck suddenly felt cold. Maybe a breeze just blew past." Dongfang Yang waved his hand dismissively and then asked, "Where's Su Tao? Isn't she coming out with us?"
Chi Xiaocheng said helplessly, "Taotao has class, you know. She's quite career-driven, so I didn't want to disturb her."
Dongfang Yang also looked helpless. "Then there's nothing for it. If she's not here and you feel bored, I'll just keep you company."
His lukewarm words once again reached Su Tao's ears. She was so furious her teeth were grinding. What did he mean, "If I'm not here, you'll keep Xiaocheng company?" Dongfang Yang, you must be secretly thrilled to be going out with Xiaocheng, right?! You even specifically brought me up in front of Xiaocheng, weren't you trying to belittle me to elevate yourself? What wicked intentions!
But no matter how angry she was, she wouldn't rush out directly at this moment. Reason constantly suppressed her impulses. If she exposed herself now, she would really lose major points in front of Xiaocheng. She didn't want to ruin her current image in Chi Xiaocheng's heart. She still wanted to sleep with Chi Xiaocheng tonight. She also wanted to secretly kiss her a billion times tonight.
Just because she wasn't acting didn't mean the two of them would stay put. Dongfang Yang had already suggested a place he planned to take Chi Xiaocheng, asking for her opinion, "Chi Xiaocheng, is there anywhere you want to go? Like a haunted house or an escape room? Are you scared of those?"
Su Tao's mouth slightly dropped open: What?! That Dongfang Yang, he actually wants to take Xiaocheng to a place like that to create an opportunity for them to be alone, trying to use the suspension bridge effect to win over Xiaocheng? Dongfang Yang, you shameless wretch!
Chi Xiaocheng shook her head and refused, "Let's skip those. I don't really like gloomy places."
Dongfang Yang then said, "Then how about an aquarium? Just for some casual fun?"
Su Tao's eyes widened: An aquarium? A date hotspot! Xiaocheng and I haven't even been to a place like that. Dongfang Yang, have you no shame?!
Chi Xiaocheng still hesitated. "Maybe let's not go to the aquarium for now. Being alone like that would be too easily misunderstood."
Dongfang Yang rubbed his chin. "My family just opened a new water park, with a huge artificial beach. How about we go there? Guaranteed fun."
Su Tao was dumbfounded: You actually want to see Xiaocheng in a swimsuit? Dongfang Yang, I'll freaking kill you!!!
Before Su Tao could emerge, she heard Chi Xiaocheng say, "It's not even summer yet, the water will still be really cold. Let's skip the water park."
Su Tao, who had just pulled out her imaginary knife, silently put it back. Xiaocheng is so sensible, she knows she wants to be with me.
Dongfang Yang looked resigned and opened the car door. "I finally understand why you girls are always so picky. Get in first, we can just drive around and think about it."
Chi Xiaocheng gave an embarrassed smile. Dongfang Yang's suggestions were actually quite good. But... Xiaocheng, I like Taotao, you know. How could I go on a date with you? If I go, it'll be with Taotao later. But as for the escape room, Chi Xiaocheng was worried Su Tao might get scared and punch the staff dressed as ghosts into oblivion.
But when Chi Xiaocheng got into Dongfang Yang's car and drove off, Su Tao was dumbfounded. Where are you going?! And Xiaocheng, why did you get into Dongfang Yang's car so easily?!
Su Tao quickly ran to the roadside, flagged down a taxi, and yelled as soon as she got in, "Driver! Follow that red supercar!"
The thirty-year veteran driver looked up at Dongfang Yang's supercar, which was already just a taillight in the distance. Then he looked down at the twenty-year-old clunker he was sitting in, and was stunned. "Young lady, maybe you should try chasing it in an AE86 or a Wuling Hongguang?"
However, Su Tao, with red eyes, urgently told the driver, "Hurry, Master! My girlfriend is running off with another man!"
Hearing this, the driver's face initially showed surprise for a long moment, then his whole body jolted. "Young lady, buckle up!"
Today, I'll risk my life to help a friend!
But after a long chase, a taxi that was practically falling apart still couldn't catch Dongfang Yang's supercar. Su Tao could only pray that Dongfang Yang was truly just taking Chi Xiaocheng for a drive.
Yet the resentment on her face grew deeper and deeper. Si Chen had already betrayed her. Dongfang Yang was also a sneaking opportunist!
But the crucial point was, Su Tao couldn't openly fault this bright, cheerful young man. When they were in the hospital, he had made a promise: he would absolutely not try to win her over before Chi Xiaocheng regained her memory. The opportunity was entirely given to Su Tao.
And Dongfang Yang had indeed kept his word. Now, Dongfang Wen's hypnosis had long ended, and Chi Xiaocheng's memory had recovered. It was only her emotions that hadn't, so her agreement with Dongfang Yang had naturally expired. This young man pursuing Xiaocheng now was simply fair competition.
Su Tao really wanted to do something, but she was uniquely afraid of displeasing Chi Xiaocheng and damaging their current relationship.
"They're all wrong!"
Back at school, Su Tao's pen furiously slashed at her textbook, tearing through several pages. A quick learner, she had already grasped the basics of drawing, and in a few strokes, she sketched a tiny Si Chen figure in the corner of her textbook. Then, knife by knife, she stabbed the Si Chen figure.
Next was Dongfang Yang's figure; Su Tao drew him upside down, stuck in a pile of dung.
Finally, she drew a tiny Chi Xiaocheng figure. Su Tao couldn't bear to harm her. Yet, subconsciously, she drew one shackle after another, binding her. This way, it was as if Chi Xiaocheng would never leave her.
The scratching sound of the pen on the paper was somewhat jarring, drawing the attention of Chen Qian, who was sitting next to Su Tao.
But Chen Qian was pro-Xiaocheng, so she just glanced twice and said nothing more.
When she returned home that evening, Su Tao saw Chi Xiaocheng sitting obediently on the sofa, watching TV, waiting for her to come back. It was like a dutiful little wife waiting for her husband to return home from work.
"Taotao, you're back!"
Chi Xiaocheng smiled, her little feet shuffling in her fluffy slippers, and thoughtfully poured Su Tao a cup of hot water.
Su Tao took the hot water and stroked Chi Xiaocheng's head. "What did Xiaocheng do today? Did you feel bored at home without me? Did you go out anywhere?"
"No, I tried writing a novel at home today. I was too lazy to go out and play." Chi Xiaocheng told a small lie; she didn't want Su Tao, tired after a day of classes, to get upset about her going out and improving Dongfang Yang's standing with her. Little did she know that the start of misunderstandings often comes from one kind lie after another.
Su Tao nodded, not exposing Chi Xiaocheng's lie. But the hand stroking her head grew even more gentle.
