Chapter 445 Suspicion

Behind several seemingly ambiguous photos lay a lengthy analysis from the original poster.

"I'm sure everyone will think the news team is exaggerating again, but Xiao Cheng and Dongfang shao ye are the dream partners of many of our brothers and sisters. I don't want to ruin that image, but the truth is right in front of us."

"Don't get anxious, everyone. We have solid evidence."

"As we all know, Xiao Cheng was bullied and tricked by her roommates early on, during which time she confessed to Dongfang Yang, but it seems she was rejected."

"This shows that Chi Xiaocheng has had feelings for Dongfang Yang for a long time."

"And according to the information we've gathered, Dongfang Yang initially seemed to like Su Tao, but later became closer to Xiao Cheng, often going out with her. Is there a possibility that…"

"Dongfang Yang has always liked Chi Xiaocheng, and his approach to Su Tao was actually a way to get closer to Chi Xiaocheng."

"Another very important reason is that normal boys and girls, if they are not interested in each other, would never accept multiple invitations like the one that happened at the girls' dorm today!"

"Dongfang Yang waited for over an hour, still waiting, convinced that Xiao Cheng would come down. He was gawked at like a monkey during that time. Didn't he consider the possibility of being rejected?"

"This only proves that they are mutually in love!"

"Everyone only knows that they went out to play together. Maybe they've even secretly gotten engaged in private!"

"One is a handsome guy, the other is a cute girl. Who could resist?"

At the end of the post, the original poster stated firmly that the two definitely liked each other!

Su Tao read the entire post, word for word.

Looking at the comments, besides those who were devastated and cursing the original poster, there were also many words of blessing.

Su Tao was furious.

Ignoring the fact that class was about to start, she shot up and stood.

The teacher was facing the screen, so he didn't notice Su Tao, but all the other students turned to look at her.

Seeing this, Jiang Nan quickly pulled Su Tao back into her chair and whispered, "What are you doing!"

Su Tao narrowed her eyes. "Where's the news team? I want to have a cup of tea with the person who posted this and talk about life and dreams."

You better actually want to talk about life and dreams!

Jiang Nan quickly said, "Don't get worked up. They're from the news team, so of course they need a gimmick. Haven't you ever been fooled by clickbait?"

Jiang Nan's words calmed Su Tao down a little, but only a little.

No matter what the relationship between Chi Xiaocheng and Dongfang Yang was, two things were absolutely certain.

First, Dongfang Yang liked Xiao Cheng!

Second, they went out together today, and Xiao Cheng didn't tell me!

With these two points constantly on her mind, Su Tao heard Jiang Nan's voice again, "In any case, you should first understand what happened. If you don't ask Chi Xiaocheng, you can ask someone you know who's close to her what's going on."

Upon hearing this.

Su Tao immediately thought of Luo Ying.

She was in the same dorm as Xiao Cheng, so she must know about this.

Su Tao quickly took out her phone and sent a message to Luo Ying.

Taozi: "Luo Ying, are you free? I want to ask you something. What was the deal with Xiao Cheng and Dongfang Yang going out together this morning?"

Yinghua: "Um... about this morning, I do know something, but Xiao Cheng told me not to tell you."

Taozi: "???"

Don't tell me!

Xiao Cheng didn't tell me and even specifically told people to keep it from me!

A certain feeling welled up in Su Tao's heart. She quickly pressed, "Luo Ying, please tell me, we're good friends, right? You also know that I'm with Xiao Cheng, so I really need to know what's going on."

Yinghua: "But Xiao Cheng is also my roommate. If I just tell you when you ask, wouldn't I be stabbing her in the back?"

Su Tao was frantic when she saw this.

She had thought from the beginning that Luo Ying was a good, reliable person.

But she didn't expect her to be this reliable. It's about our relationship! You can side with Xiao Cheng, but at least tell me something!

Su Tao bit her lip and continued to type, "Sister Luo Ying, can I call you sister? QAQ"

Luo Ying, who was in class, couldn't help but laugh when she saw this emoticon.

Yinghua: "Alright, alright, I can't stand you. Remember to buy me a meal next time."

Taozi: "Deal!"

Su Tao sat up a little straighter, focusing intently on the incoming chat messages.

Yinghua: "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just like what's being said on the school forum now. Dongfang Yang waited for Chi Xiaocheng for over an hour, and then Xiao Cheng just got up, brushed her teeth in a hurry, and ran downstairs."

"I don't know exactly what happened, but I did manage to find out what they went out for."

Luo Ying sat in the classroom, a sly smile on her lips. "In short, it's very simple. Dongfang Yang wanted to find Chi Xiaocheng to pretend to be his girlfriend to deal with his family."

Su Tao: "!!!"

Her fingers flew across the keyboard. "Looking for Xiao Cheng to be his girlfriend?"

"To deal with his family?"

"Could it be that Dongfang Yang's family is pressuring him to get married, so he's using Xiao Cheng as a shield."

"But Dongfang Yang must know that someone from a big family like his, even if he uses Xiao Cheng as a shield, people will believe it."

"He's just deceiving naive Xiao Cheng. Do you think I don't know what he's thinking?"

"Is there anything else? Did Xiao Cheng agree? She wouldn't have agreed, would she?"

Su Tao fired off a long string of messages like a little essay.

Jiang Nan next to her covered her face. "I told you last time to properly understand Xiao Cheng's sensitive nature, and to understand the joys of being a girl first, but you wouldn't listen. Now you're panicking, right?"

Her words were a bit harsh, but Su Tao couldn't refute them.

Since being with Chi Xiaocheng, she had been too comfortable.

Now that Xiao Cheng had regained her memories and emotions, and liked her as much as before, she would never betray her. Why would she need to take any drastic measures?

But now…

She stared at the chat box with Luo Ying on WeChat, barely daring to breathe.

No matter how you look at it, Xiao Cheng shouldn't have agreed.

Xiao Cheng was naive, but not stupid. Just like when she stopped her from attending Ye Liang's dinner party, she knew that once she stepped into these big families' circles.

Even if it was just acting.

Even if it was fake.

Then she would be mistaken in the eyes of those big families.

The fake would become real.

At that time, even if Chi Xiaocheng didn't want to continue pretending, the pressure from all sides would force her to continue doing so.

The result was self-evident.

But even though she thought so, Luo Ying's words that Chi Xiaocheng had deliberately told her to keep it from Su Tao made Su Tao feel uneasy again.

A few seconds of waiting felt like centuries.

With a "ding," WeChat rang, and Luo Ying sent a new message.

Yinghua: "Xiao Cheng, she agreed."
