Chapter 383 Is Fang Ning More Important Than Me?
The smell inside this dilapidated building was terrible.
Filthy and reeking, the air was thick with the stench of rotting garbage.
But beyond that, there was a strange, fresh odor.
The sewage on the floor was mixed with fresh blood. Severed limbs and ears floated on the surface. Several delinquent girls were either kneeling on the ground or huddled into balls, their wails creating an atmosphere of horror.
At least, that's the scene that met Su Tao's eyes.
And the one responsible was, without a doubt, a single person.
The petite figure standing in the center of the room, bathed in the only ray of sunlight that pierced the building.
Beside her lay a blood-soaked corpse.
The corpse's eyes were wide open, as if cursing or resentful, staring fixedly at the person bathed in sunlight.
Su Tao was shocked by the scene before her.
Chi Xiaocheng also seemed at a loss.
For a moment, neither of them knew what to say.
Especially Chi Xiaocheng, who had always presented herself as harmless and frail in front of Su Tao. When had she ever shown her strong side?
This unexpected event had happened so suddenly. Considering Su Tao's impulsiveness, she had only told Si Chen.
Now, Si Chen wasn't here. Why had Su Tao come?
She couldn't figure it out, but Su Tao was already slowly walking toward her.
Chi Xiaocheng lowered her head guiltily, her silver-white teeth lightly biting her lower lip, her shoulders instinctively hunching inward, looking like she had done something wrong.
Su Tao didn't say anything, and soon reached Chi Xiaocheng's side.
She reached out her hand.
Chi Xiaocheng closed her eyes almost instinctively.
But what landed on her face was a gentle caress. "Xiaocheng, does it hurt?"
Chi Xiaocheng opened her eyes again and looked up, only to find the girl crouching in front of her, her expression revealing undisguised heartache rather than blame.
A small hand stroked her cheek, the thumb gently caressing the red mark where Zeng Xiuhua had slapped her.
For the first time, Su Tao had no desire to get angry.
She merely glanced sideways at Liu Guijia, who was already lying in a pool of blood.
It seemed the object of her anger was already gone.
Chi Xiaocheng didn't answer Su Tao's question, but weakly asked, "Tao Tao, aren't you curious… why I became like this? You saw… everything, right?"
Su Tao smiled softly, stood up, and pulled Chi Xiaocheng into her arms.
"Don't…" Chi Xiaocheng pushed against her, "I'm dirty. You'll get your clothes dirty."
"Silly, I don't mind," Su Tao hugged Chi Xiaocheng tighter, easily pressing the little loli's head against her chest.
Feeling the other's heartbeat and confirming that Chi Xiaocheng had calmed down a little, Su Tao said softly, "Everyone has their secrets. I know that, and I didn't see anything. Rather than thinking you did it, I'd rather think a Kamen Rider just happened to pass by."
Chi Xiaocheng bit her lip and hugged Su Tao back just a bit tighter.
Her vision obscured by the deep expanse of her chest, she couldn't see Su Tao's complicated expression, which belied her words.
She hadn't arrived too late, but not too early either.
When she arrived, she had just seen Liu Guijia staring with an angry expression.
She looked at Chi Xiaocheng, then directly at her, who had just arrived.
And two or three seconds later, Liu Guijia fell straight to the ground, bleeding.
Xiaocheng had killed someone.
She… wasn't as simple as the delicate loli she usually presented.
She, too, was hiding something from her.
Just like she was hiding from her that she had awakened the War God bloodline, and many things about Su Dingtian.
But Su Tao was certain.
The warmth, the softness, the scent in her arms, Xiaocheng was still the same Xiaocheng.
It's just that some things that had been hidden all along were starting to come out.
Su Tao didn't know how to ask, but…
"You don't have to tell me these things if you don't want to, Xiaocheng. You can tell me whenever you want. I won't mind."
She should trust Xiaocheng, right?
If she wanted to say something, she would.
If she was hiding something from her, there must be a reason.
Yes, that must be it.
Su Tao released Chi Xiaocheng, and changed the subject, crouching down in front of Chi Xiaocheng and looking at her reddened eyes very seriously, "But Xiaocheng, one thing is another, why didn't you tell me you were coming to save Fang Ning? And you came alone. What if you got hurt again!"
Chi Xiaocheng hummed in agreement. "Sorry, Tao Tao. It's just… it was an emergency. That person said if I dared to call anyone else, they would… tear up Ning Ning's ticket."
Su Tao glanced sideways at Fang Ning, who was also injured and whose clothes were even a little disheveled, and frowned slightly.
To put it selfishly.
If Chi Xiaocheng got hurt or had an accident because of Fang Ning, Su Tao absolutely couldn't accept it.
Always acting like a victim to steal my Xiaocheng…
Su Tao sighed softly, withdrew her hostile gaze toward Fang Ning, and said gently to Chi Xiaocheng, "I can understand, but Xiaocheng, I hope you can trust me a little more."
"Even if there are dangers and difficulties, I want to go through them with you, not have you abandon me and face despair alone."
"You know," Su Tao reached out and tucked a playful strand of Chi Xiaocheng's hair behind her ear, "How many times have I looked at you lying in the hospital bed and wished it was me lying there?"
Words no less than a confession poured out slowly.
Sometimes, the honest words spoken by straight men and women are often the most moving love words.
"So Xiaocheng, promise me, don't do this again."
Naturally, this could also be a message to Fang Ning, indicating to the girl that Chi Xiaocheng already belonged to her, Su Tao, and that after hearing these words, she should be sensible and stop pestering them.
Chi Xiaocheng felt warm inside.
How wonderful it would be if Tao Tao said things like that every day.
She bit her lip, still not planning to hide everything, and said slowly to Su Tao, "Actually… Tao Tao, I've had this happen before."
"What?"
"Like, getting very strong, like I have martial arts now." Chi Xiaocheng took a light breath. "As long as I'm very angry, a force I can't explain will surge through my body, and then I become… very good at fighting."
Chi Xiaocheng lowered her eyes. "And then I… I don't even know why this happens. I guessed that if someone I care about is insulted or hurt, I… I get angry, I go crazy."
Hearing this, Su Tao suddenly thought of her own bloodline.
Then she recalled the past, how Chi Xiaocheng had indeed had this happen before, gaining a lot of strength in an instant, even she couldn't stop her.
She hadn't thought much about it then, but now…
Su Tao looked at Fang Ning with a complicated expression. "Someone you care about being insulted or hurt, so you get angry…"
