Chapter 450 Magnified Dark Side
I am Xiao Cheng's boyfriend...
Xiao Cheng and I are a couple.
And now, Xiao Cheng and Dongfang Yang... are on a date?
Listening to Luo Ying's words, Su Tao felt her head buzzing.
Her vision was a little blurry, focused on the counter at the entrance of the coffee shop.
She didn't know what they were talking about, but Dongfang Yang looked a little uneasy, while Chi Xiao Cheng was laughing heartily.
On the other side of her vision, just outside the coffee shop, were also a boy and a girl.
They weren't very old, probably still in elementary school.
The girl teased the boy, making him, who already had a crush on her, feel embarrassed and start to blush.
The girl didn't seem to realize the effect, smiling brightly because of the successful prank.
Inside the door.
Outside the door.
Ha, what a similar scene.
She quickly looked at Luo Ying. The trust she had in Chi Xiao Cheng still made her ask the question directly, "But Luo Ying, how can you be so sure that they... that they are definitely on a date? You didn't explain it clearly in your WeChat message. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding."
She wanted to ask Chi Xiao Cheng directly.
But, wouldn't that be just like what Jiang Nan said, a sign of distrust in Xiao Cheng?
Luo Ying crossed her arms, glanced at Su Tao, who was slightly downcast and unwilling to believe the truth.
She sighed helplessly, "Fine, I'll just tell you about my own observations then."
"Observations?"
"Yeah, it's not convenient to talk here. Let's go to the milk tea shop across the street. We can still see Xiao Cheng and Dongfang Yang from there, and we won't run into them as soon as they leave."
Luo Ying led Su Tao to a Nayuki milk tea shop on the opposite side of the street, in a corner. The location was relatively hidden, yet it had a clear view of Chi Xiao Cheng and Dongfang Yang inside the coffee shop.
However, due to the distance and angle, they could barely make out some expressions. Also, the height of the bar completely blocked Qian Qing's figure on one side.
Just like before, Qian Qing was completely hidden.
Su Tao's gaze remained fixed on the coffee shop.
Luo Ying didn't mind, and said, "First, let me tell you about what happened between Xiao Cheng and Dongfang Yang at the beginning. Like I said in my WeChat message, Dongfang Yang needed a fake girlfriend to deal with some family matters, and he approached Chi Xiao Cheng."
Su Tao finally snapped out of it, "But you said, Xiao Cheng agreed... why?"
Luo Ying shrugged, "I don't know why. She told us when she came back to the dorm."
"You... us?"
"Yeah." Luo Ying said, "Something like that happened in the morning, so everyone was gossiping about it. When Xiao Cheng came back, Shi Ling couldn't wait to ask her, and then Xiao Cheng told us."
"Dongfang Yang asked her to pretend to be his girlfriend, and she even said she would find a way to help Dongfang Yang solve the problem this afternoon."
Luo Ying seemed afraid that Su Tao wouldn't hear her clearly, so she deliberately slowed down her speech.
Almost giving the girl a heart attack.
So, Xiao Cheng... really agreed to be Dongfang Yang's fake girlfriend?
But wasn't she already completely with me?
Why... why would she pretend to be someone else's girlfriend?
And she didn't even discuss it with me.
That last point was something that Su Tao couldn't accept no matter what.
This... this is like...
"Would you call this cheating?"
Luo Ying's light, airy voice spoke the two words that Su Tao didn't want to face.
Su Tao almost subconsciously slammed her hand on the table, "Impossible!"
"Don't get so worked up."
Luo Ying quickly got up, flashed a smile, and apologized to the other customers in the milk tea shop.
After Su Tao had calmed down a little, Luo Ying said softly, "Let's not worry about whether or not Xiao Cheng has really betrayed us for now. But acting as Dongfang Yang's fake girlfriend and now dating him, you must know it's got you anxious, right?"
"Know... what?" Su Tao raised her eyes, her lips a little dry.
Luo Ying's direct words were like a sharp sword, "You know that Chi Xiao Cheng actually has a certain degree of affection for Dongfang Yang."
And everyone could see that Dongfang Yang liked Chi Xiao Cheng.
The current situation was that the man was willing, but it was unclear whether the woman was.
Yes, Su Tao couldn't refute that statement no matter what.
As she said before, she owed Dongfang Yang too much, so she couldn't refuse him.
Seeing Su Tao's state, Luo Ying sighed helplessly, "Now, I don't even know if I should keep talking to you."
Su Tao looked up.
Luo Ying: "If I say that Xiao Cheng might not like you, you'll get anxious. If I say that Xiao Cheng likes you and is following your wishes, it's still following your wishes, not objective reality. Making you happy doesn't change the current situation."
Su Tao was silent.
But she didn't notice.
Luo Ying seemed to be offering Su Tao two completely different conjectures and words.
But in fact, they were all intended to confirm one thing.
Chi Xiao Cheng had transferred her affections.
Su Tao didn't even realize that, because she still had a basic level of trust in Chi Xiao Cheng, she didn't question whether Luo Ying's words were true or not.
A mysterious force was subtly guiding the girl's emotions.
Su Tao took a deep breath and said, "Luo Ying, tell me everything you're thinking. I'll make my own decisions, instead of just believing whatever you say and then blaming you if something goes wrong."
"Okay." Luo Ying took a sip of milk tea, "Since you consider me a friend, then I'll share my own guesses with you, but let me say this first: it might not be good for you."
After getting a definite answer from Su Tao, Luo Ying slowly said, "Actually, from the beginning, I thought that Chi Xiao Cheng seemed a little awkward when she was with you."
Su Tao: "Awkward?"
"Yeah." Luo Ying nodded, "Like when we went out to eat together yesterday, and I saw through that you two were a couple. Actually, I had that feeling even then."
"But considering your relationship, I thought it would be better not to say anything."
Luo Ying explained, "I don't know if you've felt it, but Xiao Cheng's behavior, occasionally, is a bit strange. You like each other, right? But I always feel a sense of incongruity."
"She sometimes avoids your gaze, and sometimes she uses shyness to mask her thoughts, like she's wearing a layer of acting, dealing with certain things."
Su Tao was stunned after hearing just the beginning.
In her mind, with Luo Ying's words, she began to remember some details from their relationship that she hadn't noticed before.
Xiao Cheng was hiding something from her.
When talking to her, their eyes would occasionally fail to meet.
If Su Tao wanted to ask her something, if she didn't answer, she would lower her head and her ears would turn red.
Su Tao originally thought it was a sign of Chi Xiao Cheng's shyness.
But now it seemed that it wasn't that simple?
When an eggshell cracks, the even distribution of stress is no longer possible.
The suspicion that Su Tao had only felt for a moment was amplified.
