Chapter 435 One And Zero

Go to school, and then the next steps in the plan!

Although Dongfang Yang and Si Chen had arranged a long vacation for her from school, Chi Xiaocheng still believed she absolutely had to go.

First, it was to cater to Su Tao’s ambition. Her earnest nature was a factor too; Su Tao was really keen to graduate properly, then work and earn money in the future, or start her own business, and eventually buy a house and a car.

Chi Xiaocheng still remembered Su Tao seriously telling her that after graduation, she would start a business and earn money, with Chi Xiaocheng staying home to be cute while Su Tao took care of the family.

Constantly relying on Dongfang Yang and Si Chen for help had long since bruised her self-esteem.

This was just one of the reasons.

More importantly: emotion points!

The emotion points Su Tao could generate were already few and far between. With Dongfang Yang, that human-machine, getting busy, it was even difficult for Chi Xiaocheng to complete her daily quests.

Trying to get emotion points from Si Chen was even harder.

During the boring time at Si Chen’s villa, Chi Xiaocheng re-read the original novel content she had previously bought with emotion points.

Then, she made a note of every named character who appeared in it.

Previously, she had always overlooked these dispensable minor characters.

One must know, as long as a supporting character had a full name in the original novel and even a slight role in the plot, they could generate emotion points!

Even Chen Qian, occasionally, when happy, could give Chi Xiaocheng a few emotion points.

What about those characters in the original novel who had more connections to Su Tao?

They could generate even more emotion points!

She urgently needed emotion points now to prepare for the rival female character who might appear out of nowhere in the future.

Chi Xiaocheng’s plan was to accumulate as many emotion points as possible during this period before the World Will made its move, allowing the system to gather more energy for upgrades.

As for safety…

The night before returning to school, Su Tao sat in front of Chi Xiaocheng.

“Xiaocheng,” she said very seriously, “do you remember that shared location I told you about? When you go to school, you must keep it on at all times.”

“Also, Brother Chi Song has already arranged for two bodyguards to pretend to be students and stay out of sight near you. If anything happens, you must go towards these two bodyguards.”

“And most, most, most importantly!” Su Tao’s voice grew louder, “You absolutely must not have deep conversations with strangers you don’t know. Xiaocheng, you’re too innocent; you’re the easiest to fool.”

If she could, Su Tao wouldn’t even want Chi Xiaocheng to go to school.

Chi Xiaocheng felt a bit embarrassed about this. “Relax, Tao Tao, I’m not really powerless, am I? How about we try an arm wrestle to test my strength?”

Ever since she became slightly abnormal, her darkening ability had become a constant presence, though it was only at its normal lowest level, triple amplification.

But with Chi Xiaocheng’s current physical condition, she could completely match a healthy, normal adult man.

She wanted to try and see how her current physical condition, with triple darkening, would compare to Su Tao’s War God’s bloodline.

Facing Chi Xiaocheng’s suggestion, Su Tao helplessly agreed, “If Xiaocheng wants to, then let’s try it.”

The two sat on opposite sides of a table.

Su Tao extended her hand first.

Her palm was the size of a normal adult girl’s, but her five fingers were relatively more slender, fair, and delicate. There was not a single flaw in either their proportion or her skin.

Chi Xiaocheng’s hand was much smaller.

Having eaten delicate, soft candies, and never having done any manual labor, her small hand, from wrist to the back of her hand, and the tenderness of her fingertips, was nothing short of a captivating treasure.

Although they held hands every day,

Su Tao rarely observed a specific part of Chi Xiaocheng so directly.

Last time, her little feet felt quite cute.

Now, her little hands too…

For some reason, Su Tao felt an urge to put the tip of that small hand’s index finger in her mouth and taste it.

It probably… wouldn’t have any taste, right?

But what was this inexplicable flutter?

Her base self seemed to be getting stranger.

If Xiaocheng knew what she was thinking, she would definitely dislike her, wouldn’t she?

Su Tao used her acting skills to conceal the thoughts that were trying to surface.

“Alright, come on.”

She clasped Chi Xiaocheng’s small hand.

She wondered if it was a delusion, but she felt this small hand was softer and more comfortable to hold than usual.

Before she could think too much, Chi Xiaocheng was already looking seriously at Su Tao. “Alright, Tao Tao, I’m coming! I plan to use all my strength from the very beginning!”

“No problem,” Su Tao immediately replied.

Speaking of which, she had seen a saying online.

When two girls are together, there is bound to be the concept of one and zero.

And the dominant one, naturally, is the former, who should shoulder everything like a “man.”

Su Tao had always placed herself in this role.

But then she learned that Xiaocheng also had something similar to her, an explosive power that would suddenly erupt when angry.

If Xiaocheng was stronger than me, and more formidable than me… what would happen to this role then?

Su Tao didn’t think Chi Xiaocheng was the very proactive type, and in their relationship, she was accustomed to taking the initiative.

Now, it seemed, was also a chance to test who was on top?

Su Tao’s gaze became a little more serious.

This, and only this, she absolutely could not lose!

This arm wrestle might seem like a test of strength, but in reality, it was a test of Su Tao’s dignity in front of Xiaocheng!

Her voice became steadier. “Come on, Xiaocheng, I won’t go easy on you either.”

“Dawang, come here!” Chi Xiaocheng waved, calling for Dawang. “When you meow in a bit, when Dawang makes a sound, we’ll both exert our strength.”

“Okay.”

Both stood ready for battle, and after Dawang excitedly ran over…

“Meow!”

A cute cat’s meow sounded, and Chi Xiaocheng exerted her strength almost instantly.

Triple darkening in her normal state!

For a split second, she felt a trace of resistance from her hand.

Then.

“Thud!”

Under Su Tao’s serious gaze, Chi Xiaocheng’s small hand trembled for only one second before being forcefully pressed down onto the table.

Instantly defeated!

Chi Xiaocheng was dumbfounded.

No way… I had triple darkening!

No resistance at all?

Is the War God’s bloodline that terrifying?

Does that mean if Tao Tao ever decides to *force* me, I’ll have no chance to resist?

Hiss, that won’t do.

A little struggle, it just makes things more exciting.

Uh… if Tao Tao wanted to be forceful, she wouldn’t struggle anyway.

“Looks like bodyguards are still necessary…”

Su Tao won, and she was very happy.

Xiaocheng did have some strength, but she couldn’t resist her.

Next time… she’d try that kabedon thing they talked about online.

She took Chi Xiaocheng’s small hand again, showing a happy smile.

“Speaking of which, Tao Tao, your strength is so great, can you control it precisely?”

“No problem. I can even hold an egg without crushing it.”

“That’s good.”

“Hmm? What’s wrong, Xiaocheng?”

Su Tao looked puzzled, not noticing Chi Xiaocheng’s slightly flushed small face.

I can’t exactly say I’m worried you’ll be too strong to control, and I won’t even be able to get out of bed later…

Tsk! Thinking about that kind of thing right now is useless, isn’t it?

They were already a couple, yet she didn’t dare to do anything beyond kissing.

Every time, I have to be the one to initiate…

Hmph!

“You blockhead!”
