Chapter 49: I'M Playing A Yandere, Not A Madwoman
Don't hesitate.
Don't feel any pity.
Su Tao tightly clutched the teacup she was holding, her heart quickening.
Reflected in her pupils, Chi Xiaocheng tilted her head, smiling sweetly. "Taotao, what's wrong?"
Strands of her beautiful hair fell from beside her ear, swaying in the air.
Her smile was adorable and blissful.
But who knew if this side of her was merely a façade?
Since the decision was made, then do it!
Su Tao suddenly downed the black tea in her hand in one gulp.
A warm current surged into her body. Using this, she mustered her courage, her gaze suddenly becoming resolute.
She spoke to Chi Xiaocheng very seriously, "Xiaocheng, tonight, I'm going to be Ye Liang's maid!"
Chi Xiaocheng's mouth slightly parted, the glass of orange juice still in her hand. It wasn't the first time she'd heard this news, but hearing it from Su Tao's mouth seemed to give it a different flavor.
Her pink lips began to dry and stiffen from lack of moisture, and the light in her eyes seemed to gradually diminish.
"Why?"
Her indifferent tone betrayed no emotion.
Because the last banquet had caused him a lot of trouble, and as an ordinary person with no money or connections, she could only compensate him in the way he expected.
This was the fundamental reason, but Su Tao knew she couldn't say it like that.
Saying it that way would be like an explanation, requiring her to keep explaining under Chi Xiaocheng's continuous questioning.
She had to settle it with one blow!
Su Tao took a deep breath. "Because I like... because I also have a good impression of Ye Liang, I don't dislike this matter, so I agreed!"
The two words "like him," she ultimately did not say.
Whether it was deceit or genuine feeling, she couldn't really say she liked Ye Liang.
Just as her words implied, there was a faint impression and anticipation regarding the opposite sex.
"So, Xiaocheng, I'm sorry I won't be able to accompany you for the next few days."
After Su Tao finished speaking, it was as if a heavy stone had fallen from her heart, and she felt much lighter.
Don't provoke her too much—according to Doctor Cheng, this should be okay for now, right?
No sooner had she spoken than her hand was suddenly gripped by Chi Xiaocheng.
A pang of pain shot through her, startling Su Tao inwardly.
When did Xiaocheng's strength become so great?
Looking up, she noticed that Chi Xiaocheng's state was very wrong at this moment.
Her breathing was ragged, her shoulders trembled, like a drowning person clutching at a last straw. "But didn't we promise to be together forever?"
"Why are you still going to Ye Liang?"
"I'm sorry, Xiaocheng." Su Tao forcefully shook off Chi Xiaocheng's arm.
She stood up, intending to further observe Chi Xiaocheng's reaction. Her current reaction was still within expectations.
"You can't do that~"
Chi Xiaocheng's voice, as low as a mosquito's buzz, caught Su Tao's attention.
She had thought Chi Xiaocheng would stand up to stop her, but unexpectedly, Chi Xiaocheng merely sat on the sofa, still holding the glass of orange juice with both hands.
The smile on her face was incredibly complex. "Taotao, you can't go to Ye Liang's place~"
"He'll hurt you, he'll abandon you, he'll play with your feelings. In this world, only I truly like you with all my heart."
"So... you can't go~"
Having said that, she pursed her lips into a sweet smile.
But this sweetness seemed to be laced with potent poison.
Su Tao frowned and took a step, intending to leave, but as soon as she extended one foot, a sudden wave of weakness washed over her body.
She quickly clutched her head, propping herself up against the armrest of the sofa. "Wh-what's going on?"
"Hehe, this is sleepy black tea~"
Chi Xiaocheng set down the orange juice in her hand, happily opening her arms as if to embrace someone.
Her head began to spin, her limbs gradually weakened, and a heavy drowsiness made it impossible for Su Tao to hold on any longer.
From the corner of her eye, she saw the glass of plain water that Chi Xiaocheng hadn't touched.
"Xia..."
Before she could utter "cheng," her entire body had already collapsed towards Chi Xiaocheng.
Accompanied by a faint fragrance, the girl fell into her embrace.
Chi Xiaocheng buried the tip of her nose in Su Tao's beautiful hair, taking a light sniff.
Her small mouth neared Su Tao's earlobe, and in Su Tao's fading consciousness, she slowly said, "Taotao, you can't leave me~"
"You're too tired. Six hours of deep sleep, just rest well."
Chi Xiaocheng gently placed Su Tao on the sofa, humming softly with an eerie look in her eyes. "Taotao, oh Taotao, since you already know I'm a yandere, why did you still try to test me? You test me, you die. Is that a joke to be made?"
She stood up and stretched. "It's a good thing I'm a fake yandere. If I were a true yandere, Taotao, you would have been in trouble long ago, and that Ye Liang too. Even though he's a young master, a true yandere would have dragged him down with them."
[So, Host, what now? Will you put her under house arrest?]
"Of course I wouldn't do such a thing. Right now, I just saw Taotao was too tired, so I'm letting her have a good sleep, that's all. We don't do illegal things."
"We've removed the barriers between sisters and repaired our relationship. Su Tao took leave specifically to stay at my house for three days to take care of my illness. Isn't this just a part of everyday life? System, don't make it sound so unpleasant."
"I'm doing this for Taotao's own good."
As Chi Xiaocheng spoke, her eyes gradually grew cold again. "She definitely can't go to Ye Liang's place. Even if this plot point isn't in the original novel, I know what will happen next."
Three days as a personal maid, living in his house, with a little accident at night, and then some sparks flying—thinking with the melodramatic logic of female-oriented web novels, these might even be the mildest outcomes.
No one can lay a finger on my Su Tao!
"All of this is to prevent her from ending up as tragically as she did in the original plot."
Chi Xiaocheng sighed, then laboriously picked up Su Tao and slowly carried her to her own room.
She placed her on the bed, pulled up the covers, her movements incredibly gentle. "At least six hours. Rest well~"
At this moment, the system in her mind spoke up.
[Host, don't you think this is a good opportunity?]
"What good opportunity?"
[We're villains, after all. And now the female lead, Su Tao, is completely helpless. You know~]
"What, now you remember you're a villain system?" Chi Xiaocheng rolled her eyes. Over these past few days of interaction, because of Su Tao's beauty and her 'white moonlight' personality, coupled with a few days of delicate care at the hospital.
She genuinely did like this novel's female lead.
But she disdained doing such things.
That would be a defilement of Su Tao!
She was playing a yandere, not a madwoman.
Chi Xiaocheng sat by the bed, reaching out to smooth Su Tao's dishevelled hair. She said to the system, "Su Tao has a deep-seated issue. She's avoiding and fearing the fact that I'm a yandere. Right now, she can't even face me properly, so how can she fall in love with me?"
"The reason I hold so much weight in her heart is still because the original host had a very good relationship with her. Having relied on each other since childhood makes her unwilling to easily abandon the original host. It's precisely this emotion that ties her down."
"Simply in terms of romantic favorability, Ye Liang and Dongfang Yang probably rank higher than me in her heart."
Chi Xiaocheng was perfectly clear about this: if Su Tao didn't change her attitude towards her, then even if she continued to "act ill," Su Tao wouldn't fall in love with her.
She would only continuously seek methods of "treatment," comply with her, and recall beautiful past memories.
Thinking of returning to the intimate sisterly relationship they had as children.
That simply won't do. You should fall in love with me with all your heart!
No, not "should," but "must"!
