Chapter 481 The Unavoidable Weight Value

I should have seen it coming. I should have...

No, that's wrong. I did see it coming, didn't I? Luo Ying even gave me the answer in advance.

I just didn't want to believe it.

Dongfang Yang likes Chi Xiaocheng.

When he found out someone was coming to the house and he needed a fake girlfriend, he drove to the dorm early the next morning. When Xiaocheng overslept, he waited for over an hour.

The story was posted on the forum, and as a result, Xiaocheng got into his sports car. The two of them, who already hung out together often, got even closer, discussing the matter.

The first time was probably just to hang out, but then they went to the coffee shop.

Dongfang Yang suggested Xiaocheng be his fake girlfriend, which was practically a confession.

Because just like the data the glasses gave, Xiaocheng hadn't fully recovered her memories. She had a strong liking for Dongfang Yang, but towards me, because I also like girls, she'd been acting all along.

To hide Xiaocheng's memory loss, Su Tao had her undergo a psychological evaluation at Dongfang Yang's hospital, fabricating a medical record, which Xiaocheng took seriously.

She didn't want to be my girlfriend, but because of our long-standing friendship, she didn't want to give me up either.

So she hung out with Dongfang Yang while pretending to like me too, all to stabilize my mental state.

And the result is what we have now.

The banquet is about to start.

There's no escaping it.

I asked Qian Qing to cover for me.

But because we didn't discuss it well enough, when something unexpected happened, Qian Qing didn't do what Dongfang Yang expected at all.

The impromptu acting failed.

Leading to an argument.

And then.

--I told you, Chi Xiaocheng, you should just be my fake girlfriend.

Heh heh heh heh.

The truth, hasn't it already been said by Dongfang Yang?

Su Tao looked into the distance and sighed softly.

The hand that was holding Chi Xiaocheng's had unknowingly loosened.

Although she sensed something was off, Chi Xiaocheng just glanced back at Su Tao, a hint of worry flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say anything.

Dongfang Yang couldn't help but ask, "By the way, what are you two doing out here? Not used to the environment inside?"

Chi Xiaocheng shrugged helplessly, "Had a bit of a disagreement with Young Master Ye the Second and that maid, just avoiding them."

"Young Master Ye the Second, huh..." Dongfang Yang shared Si Chen's opinion, "You don't really need to worry about him. That guy's a coward. Before Ye Liang died, he wouldn't dare to be so arrogant."

"As for that maid, her identity is special, so I can't really do anything to her. Anyway, if you're being bullied, just call me if you really can't handle it. I'll do my best to help you."

Every promise he made was casual.

But he would keep every one of them.

And those promises weren't just for Chi Xiaocheng, they included Su Tao too.

Which is why Su Tao considered Dongfang Yang a "love rival," but also couldn't do anything about him.

Really, what's the point of thinking about this now?

Su Tao stopped talking, watching Chi Xiaocheng and Dongfang Yang chat, she leaned against the wall by the door, quietly watching the distant stars.

She couldn't help but wonder what her life would be like without Chi Xiaocheng.

Growing up ordinary, studying hard, getting into a good university, being pursued by someone, and finally being with that person?

Su Tao couldn't help but recall the time before the basement.

And being pursued by someone...

Ye Liang's hateful face flashed through her mind.

That man, he's a bit disgusting.

Xiaocheng is definitely cuter.

But Xiaocheng, is she slowly slipping away from me?

Su Tao thought of something and froze, "Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom."

Without waiting for Chi Xiaocheng to respond, she went straight back into the hall.

Dongfang Yang was completely baffled, "Is Su Tao acting a bit strange? I feel like her mood is really low, she's starting to be conflicted again, just like before."

"Before?" Chi Xiaocheng raised her eyes.

Dongfang Yang nodded, "Yeah, the last time you died, she started struggling, started becoming withdrawn and lost."

"Chi Xiaocheng, you better take care of Su Tao more, spend more time with her."

Although Dongfang Yang didn't know why, he still offered the advice.

Chi Xiaocheng smiled and shook her head, "She's being affected by something, she can't break free, but I still think Tao Tao needs to walk out of it herself."

Chi Xiaocheng subconsciously wanted to put her hands in her pockets, but then she noticed that she was still wearing the evening gown.

So she had to clasp her small hands in front of her stomach, her left hand lightly grasping her right wrist.

"System, are you still there?"

She said softly in her heart.

[Yes, Host]

"You've been a bit quieter lately, huh."

[...]

"Xiao Hei."

Seeing that the System didn't respond, Chi Xiaocheng called out again.

The cool and adorable girl in the black dress quickly appeared beside her.

Chi Xiaocheng stood in the moonlight, while Xiao Hei was in the shadows of the wall.

No words were spoken, but she was there to keep her company.

Now that they were both wearing dresses, one black and one white, it accentuated their completely different personalities and temperaments.

Chi Xiaocheng turned her head, looking at this "shadow" who had accompanied her for hundreds of reincarnations, and asked, "You and the System, you were intentionally not going to tell me, weren't you?"

Xiao Hei said calmly, "What were we not going to tell you?"

"The fact that Tao Tao has long been influenced by the world's will, and Luo Ying's odd behavior, I don't believe you didn't notice."

[Host, you...]

The System's voice was a little surprised, she and Xiao Hei had indeed hidden a lot of things from Chi Xiaocheng.

It was precisely because of this information asymmetry that misunderstandings arose.

Chi Xiaocheng walked towards the back garden alone, sighing softly, "It's not like I really don't know anything. Tao Tao's changes are so obvious, it would be strange if I, who spend every day with Tao Tao, didn't notice."

"I did play a yandere for a while, after all. How could I not understand her psychological changes?"

Lately, when we hold hands, Tao Tao has become more gentle than before, and she grips tighter.

But this excessive gentleness is the most abnormal thing of all.

Xiao Hei stayed by Chi Xiaocheng's side, silent for a long time, "Since you know everything, why are you pretending to be confused?"

"Isn't this the best way to make Tao Tao's character weight drop below 50%?"

I'm afraid that now, even if Tao Tao goes back, it's not to go to the bathroom, but to go find that maid again, right?

That's exactly what the world's will wants.

And it's what Chi Xiaocheng wants too.

She had always wondered how to make Tao Tao's character weight drop below 50%.

What would happen after it dropped.

What would happen if it didn't drop.

She originally thought that like Si Chen, becoming "unlike yourself" in the eyes of outsiders, that is, ruining the character, dropping below 50% would allow you to escape the world's will.

But in fact, when Si Chen called her aside to chat just now, she discovered...

Even if it drops below 50%.

Even if the world's will can't control Si Chen, it can still act as a player, overturning the chessboard.

Has Si Chen really found himself again now?
