Chapter 446 A Wonderful Misunderstanding
A Wonderful Misunderstanding
Dongfang Yang's eyes were sincere, his voice lacking the usual flippancy and pretense of aloofness.
With such a straightforward request, Chi Xiaocheng could sense Dongfang Yang's genuine intentions. He truly wanted to resolve the matter, not to have her pretend to be his girlfriend only to create a series of farcical situations that would lead to them falling in love.
However, there was no way she could agree.
Chi Xiaocheng furrowed her brow and asked, "Even if that's how you feel, Dongfang Yang, don't you have any other… other girls who could help you act? With your status, finding a skilled actress would be easy, right?"
Dongfang Yang looked at Chi Xiaocheng as if she were an idiot. "Do you think my family wouldn't investigate the background of any so-called actress? This has to be someone I know, and I'd feel uncomfortable with someone I didn't."
Chi Xiaocheng sighed helplessly. "You've helped me so much, and while I'd like to help you in any way I can, Dongfang Yang, this is the one thing I can't do."
Chi Xiaocheng lowered her head slightly.
It was true; no matter what she needed, Dongfang Yang, though often acting proud and aloof, never refused her.
Now, when he finally had a genuine opportunity to ask for her help, she couldn't fulfill it.
Even if it was just pretending to be his girlfriend.
It was merely a formal performance.
And it had nothing to do with the fact that Su Tao might explode.
Chi Xiaocheng would never betray Su Tao, no matter what.
This firm rejection made Dongfang Yang sigh helplessly. "Alright, I apologize for calling you so early this morning for this."
To be honest, Dongfang Yang was a little disappointed.
The reason he went directly to Chi Xiaocheng was that he thought she liked him and would most likely agree.
But who knew she would reject him so clearly?
Chi Xiaocheng bit her lip, pondering for a long time. Suddenly, she thought of someone and turned to ask, "Dongfang Yang, as long as it's someone you're familiar with and who's presentable, is that enough?"
Dongfang Yang was taken aback. "Being too casual definitely wouldn't work, but there aren't any strict requirements. But the number of girls I'm familiar with is quite small."
Chi Xiaocheng's lips curved into a smile. "I have a recommendation. Let me see if I can get her over here to help."
Dongfang Yang: "???"
I don't even know of any other candidates, but you do?
Could it be Su Tao?
Dongfang Yang thought about it, and that was the only name that came to mind.
But Su Tao only sees me as a brother!
Since he had cleared things up with Su Tao last time, Dongfang Yang no longer had those strange feelings for her and purely regarded her as a younger sister and a good friend.
So, Chi Xiaocheng intends to give this opportunity to Su Tao?
Dongfang Yang suddenly felt a lump in his throat.
He understood why Chi Xiaocheng had lowered her head apologetically when she rejected him earlier. She lacked confidence, knowing that she couldn't play the lead role in this performance, so she planned to have Su Tao help him!
Chi Xiaocheng… she actually thought that I liked Su Tao, so she was willingly backing out…
Deep down, she still secretly likes me, right?
A man doesn't easily shed tears, but it's only because he hasn't been truly touched.
Dongfang Yang felt a pang in his heart and looked earnestly at the girl beside him. "Chi Xiaocheng, you really don't need to beat around the bush. I think you're great. I believe in you, so have some confidence. I choose you this time, and I won't change my mind for anyone!"
Chi Xiaocheng: "…"
Is he starting to enter that inexplicable domineering CEO mode again?
Chi Xiaocheng looked speechless. "Don't overthink it. If I agreed, Tao Tao would get angry. In any case, leave this to me. I'll definitely find someone to help you!"
So, does Chi Xiaocheng like me or not?
Wasn't I being straightforward enough, Dongfang Yang?
He scratched his head, hesitant to speak.
In the end, he didn't say too much. He had originally planned to customize the plan, but since Chi Xiaocheng rejected it, the contents of the plan were gone.
Feeling bored, Dongfang Yang just drove Chi Xiaocheng around for a bit, had a meal, and then sent her back to school.
It was just like going out to play for three hours. Neither Chi Xiaocheng nor Dongfang Yang felt anything special.
But the gossip groups and forums at school had exploded.
The young master personally waited downstairs at the girls' dormitory, persisting for over an hour even under the sun.
And the object of his wait was none other than Chi Xiaocheng, who had just returned from her leave!
As soon as she returned to school from her leave, he immediately came to pick her up in a sports car, and the two of them went for a drive and had lunch at a high-end restaurant.
This time, there were photos and facts to prove it!
Chi Xiaocheng had a history of confessing to Dongfang Yang, and rumors had circulated that Dongfang Yang also liked Chi Xiaocheng.
What was this?
Mutual affection!
Both of them had top-notch appearances.
Except for the slight height difference, they were a perfect match!
Even though Su Tao didn't usually browse the forums, she couldn't help but notice this post that was quickly gaining traction.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, she was attending class as usual.
It was an easy elective course today. The teacher lectured, and the students played. Su Tao was diligently drawing on her old laptop, trying to earn money.
She had accepted a commission for a 24-hour quick turnaround anime girl headshot and was rushing to color it when Jiang Nan poked her arm. "Su Tao, look at our class group chat. There's big gossip."
Su Tao didn't stop drawing. "Gossip has nothing to do with me. There's gossip at school every day. Didn't they say yesterday that an exchange student had a fight with someone from our school? I even took a look, but it was just the news department using clickbait to waste my time."
Jiang Nan gave Su Tao a strange look. "But I think you should check out this gossip. It has nothing to do with you, but it has to do with your sister."
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Su Tao paused in her coloring, and a large blot of color suddenly appeared on the screen.
After instinctively pressing Ctrl+z, she took out her phone and saw the big title of a post forwarded in the group chat: "Dongfang Yang is about to confess to Chi Xiaocheng. Are those two going to be a couple?"
Huh???
What kind of title is that?
Dongfang Yang is going to confess to Xiaocheng? When did this happen!
Su Tao's index finger immediately jabbed at the link, as if trying to pierce the phone screen.
Then, she first saw the pictures taken by the gossipers.
Dongfang Yang was leaning against a supercar, waiting in the sun.
The second picture showed Chi Xiaocheng standing downstairs at the dormitory talking to Dongfang Yang. Because her hair wasn't properly styled, Dongfang Yang even wanted to reach out and fix it for Chi Xiaocheng.
Of course, Chi Xiaocheng wasn't touched by Dongfang Yang that morning.
But that's the beauty of journalism.
Dongfang Yang was standing in front of Chi Xiaocheng with his hand reaching out, and that part of his hand and Chi Xiaocheng's head was blocked by someone's head in the photo.
This led to the inability to see exactly what they were doing.
Looking at it from a distant and misleading perspective, it looked like Dongfang Yang was touching Chi Xiaocheng's head.
The third photo directly jumped to the two of them having lunch at a restaurant.
In addition, there was a fourth photo, a fifth photo…
