Chapter 458 An Exchange Student From The Capital
Su Tao heard Su Meimei’s words and instantly understood.
On campus, apart from a few top students who were completely absorbed in their studies and oblivious to the outside world, and pure recluses, most others knew her, Su Tao, to some extent.
What kind of 'sage books' would a pure recluse read, you ask?
Aren’t books that lead one to a sage’s moment also 'sage books'?
And Su Meimei was an exchange student, so it was perfectly normal for her not to know her.
Su Tao sighed, looking at the ice-cold plain water on the table.
She downed it in one gulp.
The icy water went down, and her heart ached.
Su Tao looked at Su Meimei. "My girlfriend seems to have betrayed me."
Su Meimei chuckled lightly. "What’s wrong? Emotional matters should be faced bravely. If it’s a difficulty, just overcome it. It’s just a guy... Wait a minute, what kind of friend did you say?"
"Girlfriend."
Su Meimei leaned back, a tactical move, her eyes gradually sharpening.
"My apologies for interrupting. Please, continue."
Su Tao also sighed. "This matter is actually a bit complicated to explain. It might take some time."
"It's fine, I have plenty of time," Su Meimei said with a slight smile. "Please wait for me for a moment."
Then she took out her phone and stepped aside.
She seemed to be making a call.
Su Tao didn't know what the other person was talking about, only vaguely hearing words like "milk tea shop," "taking a day off," and "something very important."
Not long after, she sat back down. "Alright, Su Tao, you can speak. I study early childhood education, and I'm very good at being a listener and a comforter."
Su Tao felt a bit helpless.
She hadn't expected that in her distress, she would choose a stranger as her confidante.
But perhaps only to a stranger could she truly pour out all her heart’s thoughts without holding back.
Dongfang Yang and Si Chen had become untrustworthy.
Luo Ying was in class.
Tang Tang was also a good friend, but she wasn't in the same place as Su Tao, and she was busy and hard to reach.
Chen Qian and Xiao Wei could also talk, but they were always just looking for gossip, and Xiao Wei would even fall asleep while listening.
And what about the various psychologists she knew? Weren't they all subordinates of Dongfang Yang and Si Chen?
Cheng Cheng... Su Tao hadn't contacted her in a long time. To this day, she still felt that Cheng Cheng and Chi Xiaocheng were very similar.
As for Doctor Cheng, well... their bond had faded. She had lived a carefree life for a long time and had become distant from that gentleman.
Su Tao sighed and began to recount part of her experiences with Chi Xiaocheng in story form.
From their initial emotional entanglement.
To her amnesia.
Then recovering her memory and getting back together.
Experiencing some strange and even bizarre dangers.
Then a period of tranquil honeymoon.
And now.
Su Tao buried her face in her hands, fingers gripping her hair. "Now I just don't know what to do. I want to trust Xiaocheng, but her deceit is a glaring fact. I don't even know if she truly regained her memory!"
Su Tao spread her hands, her eyes slightly lost. "I trust Xiaocheng, but what if she really is secretly with Dongfang Yang? I don't trust her, but she's my girlfriend! She used to love me so much! Why am I even saying I don't trust her?"
Must I even doubt the person I love most?!
Hearing this, Su Meimei, with a complicated expression, reached out and patted Su Tao's shoulder. "Su Tao, please don't consume yourself with worry. With matters like this, you usually need to rest first, then sort things out one by one when your mind is clear."
"As you are now, no matter how much you think, your thoughts will only get more jumbled."
Su Tao picked up the remaining half-glass of ice water, downed it in one gulp. "Another one!"
Su Meimei's lips twitched, but she obediently went to pour Su Tao more water.
After that, she began to act as Su Tao's psychological counselor. "Su Tao, what if we try thinking about it differently? This Xiaocheng you mentioned, even if she's having a change of heart now, she's still your girlfriend, right?"
Su Tao looked up, gazing at Su Meimei with confusion. "Yes, but..."
But maybe not for long.
Su Meimei pressed on, "Since she's your girlfriend, why don't you just ask her directly? Isn't that the simplest way? That way, you'll know whether she's truly had a change of heart."
"Su Meimei, didn't you hear what I just said? She even lied and deceived me. She's already lied to me once. Is there any point in me asking her?"
Su Tao suddenly felt that this listener might be a natural airhead.
To her surprise, Su Meimei just blinked innocently. "I know. But if you confront her face-to-face and she's feeling guilty, you could expose her directly, right? At that point, couldn't you just tell her plainly to stop seeing Dongfang Yang?"
"But..."
Su Tao was speechless for a moment; there was one thing she didn't dare tell Su Meimei.
That was Si Chen's strange glasses.
What if Xiaocheng really hated her that much? What if she questioned her, and Xiaocheng chose Dongfang Yang instead?
If that happened, wouldn't she truly push her relationship with Xiaocheng to a dead end?
"I... I'll think about it some more."
Su Tao still retreated, not daring to directly confront Chi Xiaocheng as Su Meimei suggested.
Su Meimei was also momentarily speechless. "Well, Su Tao, you really need to think carefully. If you do nothing, you'll just watch this Xiaocheng you speak of fall into someone else's arms. Even for the worst outcome, you should be psychologically prepared and have a plan."
And this was precisely where Su Tao's confusion lay.
She hadn't made any preparations.
And she couldn't accept such an outcome.
So who could truly help her?
Would she have to rely on others again?
Su Tao's eyes hardened, and she suddenly thought of something.
A super intelligent AI named "Heavenly Dao."
If it were this, it could analyze Xiaocheng and provide her with advice. Would that not count as relying on others?
Though, it was just relying on a different kind of thing.
Su Tao's eyes crinkled into a smile, and she chuckled softly at Su Meimei. "Thank you, I feel much better."
In truth, she didn't.
It was just that, after someone had comforted her, she couldn't very well keep that dismal expression on her face, could she?
Su Tao took another sip of water, noticing that they had talked for too long; it was already time for afternoon classes.
And if she went to class now, she would most likely be late.
Never mind. She'd already skipped class in the morning, might as well keep skipping in the afternoon.
Su Tao changed the subject. "By the way, Su Meimei, you're from Magic City University, right? How's your school there? Even though I'm in college, I haven't left Jiuzhou City yet."
"Huh?"
Su Meimei showed a puzzled expression.
Su Tao also tilted her head, confused. "What's wrong?"
"You're mistaken," Su Meimei said with a slight smile, then softly added, "I'm not from Magic City University. I'm from Capital University."
"The Capital?"
