Chapter 489: Obsessive Love Needs No Reason
Chi Xiaocheng's ringtone was somewhat embarrassing, composed of various exclamations of "Xiaocheng~" in Su Tao's sweet voice from their everyday interactions.
Now, in the quiet air, the WeChat ringtone emanating from the phone was particularly saccharine.
"Xiaocheng~ Xiaocheng~ Xiaocheng~ Xiaocheng~ Xiaocheng~ Xiaocheng~..."
In a more ambiguous setting, it would elicit a knowing smile and shy blush.
But at this moment, the atmosphere was tense, the garden was eerily quiet, and the chirping of insects combined with these repeated "Xiaocheng~" calls and Su Tao's questioning gaze created a chilling effect.
It was like the cry of a *yandere*, driven mad by extreme love.
The soft, whispered "Xiaocheng~" became a kind of midnight death knell.
Su Tao stared intently at Chi Xiaocheng, waiting for the girl still sitting on her lap to pull her phone out of her skirt, revealing the truth.
Seeing that Chi Xiaocheng didn't move, Su Tao said coldly, "Xiaocheng, why aren't you answering the phone?"
She reached out and hung up the call.
Instantly, Chi Xiaocheng's ringing stopped.
After a few seconds, she dialed again.
The phone rang again.
Like a death warrant, it echoed endlessly in Chi Xiaocheng's ears.
Chi Xiaocheng sighed and took out her phone. "Yes, Chengcheng is my alternate account. What's the problem?"
Hearing the girl's admission and seeing the indifferent expression on her face only fueled Su Tao's anger.
"What's the problem? Isn't you lying to me the biggest problem!" The girl's tone was agitated. "You said you liked me so much, that you only loved me. Is deceiving me your idea of love?!"
Chi Xiaocheng chuckled. "Tao Tao, you must have misunderstood something."
"Misunderstood?"
"Why do you think I used the Chengcheng account to deceive you?" Chi Xiaocheng's lips curled into a sneer. "Think about how you treated me back then!"
Chi Xiaocheng reached out and slapped away Su Tao's hand. Possessing the skill of darkening, she also had strength enough to push the girl aside before Su Tao could react.
Then, Chi Xiaocheng stood in front of Su Tao, silhouetted against the moon, and even pointed a finger at the girl. "Back then, you!"
"Pretended to like me!"
"Deceived me!"
"Didn't know how to respond to my feelings and kept running away!"
"Even though I kept nudging you and pushing your feelings with the Chengcheng account, you were still hesitant!"
"You couldn't understand my feelings for you even if I hit you or scolded you, and now you're blaming me for deceiving you?"
"Wasn't I using the alternate account to guide you because I liked you and wanted you to like me more? Or do you like Ye Liang more than me?!"
"Are you going to be like before and say, 'Xiaocheng, can't you be more understanding'?"
"Do you even know how much it hurt me back then?!"
Chi Xiaocheng unleashed all the emotions she had wanted to vent. At this moment, tears welled up in her eyes, and her fingertip, and her entire arm trembled.
She felt wronged, wanted to cry, and even wanted to find a corner to huddle in and hug herself.
But she had to fight back.
She had to brace herself and suppress her emotions with her intermediate acting skills.
Now you say I'm deceiving you.
But how were you treating me back then?
I went through countless reincarnations for you.
I liked you very much, but because of the world's will and your character's weight, I still had to hide that love.
I had to follow the world's will and deliberately create misunderstandings.
And you questioned my feelings for you because of those misunderstandings?
Chi Xiaocheng didn't feel disappointed, just angry.
Her chest felt heavy.
She knew that Su Tao was acting this way largely due to the influence of the world's will. She also knew she was partially responsible for not clarifying the misunderstandings and letting them fester.
But how could her heart not ache when faced with such accusations?
Even the suicide attempt before.
Yes, it was part of the plan.
But when it actually came to it, her emotions were wounded. Was the despair she faced then fake?
Chi Xiaocheng bit her lip, looking at Su Tao with a hint of stubbornness.
Even if the misunderstandings were caused by the world's will, she wanted to prove that she was not wrong, and that her feelings had never changed!
And Su Tao stared wide-eyed at Chi Xiaocheng's confession.
She leaned back against the stone bench, as if she had collapsed to the ground.
She was momentarily speechless, recalling everything that had happened.
And her own hesitation and avoidance.
She had crossed that threshold.
But what about the pain Chi Xiaocheng had suffered before, even the despair she felt when she tried to commit suicide?
She was the one who had failed Xiaocheng.
But...
Even so, she was still lying to you, wasn't she?
The devilish voice echoed in her mind again.
Strumming at her heartstrings.
The voice gradually moved from the depths of her heart to her ear.
She used to like you that much, that's true.
But don't forget, her memories haven't fully returned yet.
She still likes Dongfang Yang.
She's only saying these things to stabilize your so-called illness. She's still just acting, isn't she?
If she really loved you that much, why would she lie to you?
Besides, Xiaocheng was already dead when this Chengcheng contacted you. Why didn't she come clean sooner? Isn't that suspicious?
The voice continued to echo, easily swaying Su Tao's already sinking heart.
It was like she had fallen into a bottomless sea. As she sank deeper and deeper, she didn't want to struggle anymore.
Following this guided thinking, Su Tao stood up, looking at Chi Xiaocheng with the same stubbornness. "But the reality is, you're still lying to me, aren't you?"
"You and Dongfang Yang have a great relationship, right?"
"You go out and play with him every day, and you want to help him solve his fake girlfriend problem. You say you like me, but you spend more time with Dongfang Yang than you do with me!"
Chi Xiaocheng retorted sharply, "I've never liked Dongfang Yang. I could even continue to deny the Chengcheng account!"
"But why don't I keep denying it? Why don't I just cry instead of arguing with you?"
"Isn't the impact that account had on you enough to prove my love for you?!"
Chi Xiaocheng's almost roaring voice echoed through the garden.
But even so, it failed to awaken Su Tao, who was already manipulated by the world's will.
The girl's eyes became increasingly obsessive, and she shouted back, "If you loved me, you wouldn't lie to me!"
"If you lie to me, you don't love me anymore!"
She liked Chi Xiaocheng very much.
She loved the girl in front of her.
But deception was disloyalty.
Regardless of how strange the reasons were, obsessive love needed no reason.
