Chapter 455 Explanations Are Just Cover-Ups
Explanations Are Just Cover-Ups
A test?
Perhaps, but it didn't seem necessary.
However, out of curiosity, Luo Ying asked the girl in the orange hoodie who was sitting on the opposite bed looking at her phone, "Xiao Cheng, have you seen the latest gossip about our school?"
"Gossip?" Chi Xiaocheng looked at Luo Ying across from her, confused. "What gossip? It feels like some big shot is always causing a stir at our school. Why are you asking me? Is it something to do with me?"
"Smart." Luo Ying snapped her fingers. "I thought you'd be paying attention. When Dongfang Yang was waiting for you before, you two were big celebrities. The whole thing was posted on the forum, and now there are rumors all over school that you two are dating."
Chi Xiaocheng put down her phone, looking speechless. "Those people have too much time on their hands. Just because they think that, doesn't mean you do too, right?"
Luo Ying shrugged. "Not really. It's not like I don't know you and Su Tao are together. I was just thinking, should you explain it to Su Tao? I feel like she might misunderstand."
After speaking, she added, "If you're too embarrassed to say something, I can talk to her for you."
"Hmm…" Chi Xiaocheng clicked on the post Luo Ying had shared with her and glanced at the content before scoffing. "Pure clickbait, trying to get traffic and attention. Tao Tao wouldn't misunderstand me because of this."
Luo Ying raised an eyebrow. "But I think, now that you two are together, you shouldn't get too close to Dongfang Yang. No matter what, there's a possibility Su Tao will misunderstand, right?"
"Relax, it's fine. I'll explain it to Tao Tao myself."
That's what she said, but Chi Xiaocheng didn't really care.
It wasn't just because she was already with Su Tao.
Even if her relationship with Dongfang Yang was a little better, Su Tao knew about it.
Plus, with Lao Yang's robot-like personality, even if he liked someone, he'd have feelings for Su Tao, the white moonlight female lead. How could he really like and pursue her?
Trust wasn't the foundation, but absolute.
Even if a small misunderstanding arose, it could increase Tao Tao's possessiveness.
If the will of the world didn't constantly give her a sense of crisis, her life would be even more comfortable.
And now, a month had passed since Tao Tao confessed to her.
The will of the world was spacing out, probably still dealing with the female lead who dropped from the sky. After the assassination attempt last time, it had been calm ever since.
Chi Xiaocheng had been comfortable for a long time.
Luo Ying got Chi Xiaocheng's answer and quickly sent a message to Su Tao.
Sakura: "Mission complete! I already told Xiao Cheng about it, and she said she'll explain it to you personally!"
Peach: "Wait, what exactly did you say to her?"
Sakura: "I just said that it would create misunderstandings, and then asked Xiao Cheng to explain it to you to avoid misunderstandings, and she agreed."
Peach: "Ah?"
Su Tao leaned against the side of her bed and gasped. "This wasn't part of the plan."
What she needed was Chi Xiaocheng's reaction after seeing the gossip, to see if she would take the initiative to bring it up to her.
Not Luo Ying directly pushing Chi Xiaocheng like this.
She quickly messaged Luo Ying, explaining her original plan.
Sakura: "Whoops, so that's what you were thinking. My bad, I thought you wanted Xiao Cheng to apologize, so I told her so directly."
Sakura: "Crap, with Xiao Cheng like this, wouldn't she be able to take the opportunity to get away with it?"
Peach: "Take the opportunity to get away with it? What do you mean?"
Sakura: "Think about it, if Xiao Cheng really had something to hide, then she could totally use this explanation as a starting point to brush you off!"
Sakura: "For example, she's not Dongfang Yang's fake girlfriend, but helping Dongfang Yang solve this problem, and then introduce another girl to Dongfang Yang, acting as a middleman friend or something to help."
Sakura: "Any random reason would make you dismiss your suspicions, and then if she continues to get close to Dongfang Yang, it would become justified."
Sakura: "Of course, I'm just saying it's a possibility. Maybe it really is just a misunderstanding, and it's not that Chi Xiaocheng has really changed her mind. After all, she still dared to explain it to you directly."
Su Tao's heart sank again as she looked at Luo Ying's message.
She then put down her phone and sighed deeply.
What else could she do now that things had come to this?
Believe in Xiao Cheng.
She should send her a message and take the initiative to explain.
After all, she liked her so much.
At the same time, this sigh attracted the attention of the other two in the dorm.
First was Chen Qian, who looked at Su Tao, puzzled. "What are you sighing about again?"
Su Tao sighed. "Chen Qian, do you think it's possible that Xiao Cheng might fall for Dongfang Yang?"
As soon as she said this, Luo Shan, who was watching a show next to her, pricked up her ears and silently took off her headphones.
Chen Qian gave Su Tao a look like she was an idiot. "I really don't know what you're thinking. You're the one who's been too busy to pay attention to her, and now you're questioning whether she'll change her mind."
"You start wailing when you can't get someone, and then when you get them, you can't even give them the most basic trust."
Chen Qian turned over and crawled into her bed. "You can keep sighing. I feel like you'll just get stuck in a dead end if I talk to you."
Su Tao: "…"
That may be true, but you'll never understand.
She couldn't tell them about the contents of that state.
But…
That most basic trust… Hadn't she always trusted Xiao Cheng?
This time, it must be a misunderstanding!
Xiao Cheng would explain it clearly.
However, Su Tao didn't realize that once the word "explanation" appeared, whether it was a misunderstanding or not, it already carried a meaning of inconsistency.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, an hour had gone by.
Su Tao was still waiting, but she hadn't received an explanation from Chi Xiaocheng.
It was almost 11 o'clock, and even the dorm auntie who did the room checks had already left.
Xiao Cheng hadn't sent a message.
Did she not care about this at all?
Or was she, as Luo Ying said, thinking about how to brush it off?
Given how much she liked and cared about her, she should have sent her a message right away.
Could it be that Xiao Cheng had really changed her mind?
Did she really not like her anymore?
The things Luo Ying had said that morning, about the comparison between her and Dongfang Yang, resurfaced in Su Tao's mind.
She became a little anxious, clutching her phone and wanting to take the initiative to send Chi Xiaocheng a message again.
After she waited a few more minutes, finally, a crisp knock sounded outside the dorm door.
"Who is it this late?" Chen Qian said, and then called out to Luo Shan, who was in the bed by the door, "Shan Shan, open the door."
"Alright!" Luo Shan went to the end of the bed, stretched out her leg, and easily unlocked the door with her toes.
Soon, a little thing holding a pillow opened the door. "Hello, sorry to bother you."
The familiar voice made Su Tao peek her head out from the curtains. "Xiao Cheng?"
