Chapter 86: Taotao Is So Naive
Taste a little... orange juice.
But this orange juice was not that orange juice.
Chi Xiaocheng knew that what Su Tao was referring to was the vivid, crimson "orange juice" from her own body!
Her expression shifted from momentary shock, then a hint of relief, finally transforming into wild delight.
Chi Xiaocheng's smile, uplifted, carried a hint of pathology within its excitement—a joyous, wondrous possessiveness akin to seeing a new toy.
Her voice, when she spoke, trembled slightly, "Re-really, Taotao?"
Seeing Chi Xiaocheng's obsessed expression, Su Tao couldn't help but swallow, feeling a little afraid.
But Xiaocheng looked so happy.
Suppressing her panicked thoughts, Su Tao cautiously said, "It's true, but... but I'm just trying it out, and you have to listen to me for it to work."
"Mhm mhm!"
Chi Xiaocheng nodded vigorously, gently swaying her body as if extremely pleased.
Immediately, she reached into the covers and pulled out a small knife, aiming it at a vein on her wrist.
Alarmed, Su Tao quickly stopped her, "Wa-wait a moment, Xiaocheng!"
Chi Xiaocheng looked at her in confusion, "What's wrong, Taotao? Weren't we going to drink orange juice?"
The naturalness in her tone made Su Tao break into a cold sweat. "Didn't I say you have to listen to me? Otherwise, I won't drink it."
"Oh, I see..." Chi Xiaocheng's eyes seemed to grow vacant, her voice turning flat. "So Taotao doesn't want to drink orange juice after all, it was all a trick..."
"N-no!" Su Tao grabbed Chi Xiaocheng's hand and leaned closer, speaking anxiously, "What I mean is, if you listen to me, I'll be happy. If you don't listen, I won't be happy. It's not about tricking you or anything."
However, despite her words, Chi Xiaocheng showed no sign of returning to normal.
Su Tao grew flustered and frantic.
Xiaocheng's yandere state, how could it just kick in like that, without any warning?!
Ri-right, Doctor Cheng seemed to have mentioned a way to handle this.
At the time, she had asked, "If Xiaocheng enters that strange yandere state, how do I stop her?"
Doctor Cheng: "If she enters that state, something must have triggered her—perhaps a word, an action, or even a glance. When she enters what you call the yandere state, it's like her inner world gets blocked off, and it's very difficult to snap her out of it."
Doctor Cheng: "At that moment, as the object of her affection, you can try kissing her passionately. Make her feel your affection for her, and her emotions will change, preventing her from entering that dark transformation state."
Su Tao: "Wh-what if it doesn't work?"
Doctor Cheng: "There aren't so many 'what ifs.' If it really doesn't work, just make her collapse into a soft heap until she's limp. How can she turn dark when she has no strength left?"
Su Tao: "Is th-this really a therapy?"
Doctor Cheng: "What do you know? This is called 'Flower Kiss Therapy'!"
Connecting it to the two-dimensional world, it seemed to make a bit of sense.
But at the time, Su Tao hadn't taken it seriously.
Now... it seemed like this was the only way, right?
Su Tao gritted her teeth. "I'm sorry, Xiaocheng!"
She cupped Chi Xiaocheng's pretty face in both hands and tilted her head.
...
Enjoying the girl's initiative, Chi Xiaocheng no longer showed any signs of the dark transformation of a yandere she had just moments ago.
Her slightly narrowed eyes held a smile.
——Haha, Taotao is so naive. I just faked being a yandere a little, and she took the initiative.
Meanwhile, Su Tao's heart was a mix of enjoyment and conflict, constantly suppressing certain emotions with apologies.
——Wuwu, I'm sorry, Xiaocheng. I was clearly only pretending to like you, yet I'm doing something like this.
Both harbored their own thoughts, but what they had in common was a certain enjoyment of the moment.
Apparently sensing the small figure in her arms gradually calming down, Su Tao brushed a strand of hair back and turned her head to wipe the corner of her mouth.
She dared not meet Chi Xiaocheng's gaze. "Sorry, Xiaocheng, I... I..."
Su Tao's mind was in a panic.
How was she supposed to explain that she was actually suppressing Xiaocheng's impending dark transformation?
In her haste, Su Tao blurted out, "I... I couldn't help myself."
Chi Xiaocheng looked at her, a smile playing on her lips. "Since you couldn't help yourself, then... why not try more?"
Her crimson eyes, devoid of the demonic glow they had before their dark transformation, instead seemed to stretch like pulled silk, soft as water.
Su Tao's body stiffened, momentarily at a loss.
Subconsciously, she turned her head towards the door, trying to escape, only to find a nurse standing there, having arrived unnoticed.
The nurse wore a mask, but her slightly narrowed eyes almost confirmed that her smile was definitely a fond, knowing smile.
Meeting Su Tao's eyes, the nurse waved her hand. "I was just passing by. You two carry on. Regular hospital rooms don't have cameras, so please feel at ease~"
With a smile in her eyes, the nurse thoughtfully closed the door for Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng.
Before leaving, she hung a "Resting, Do Not Disturb" sign on the door.
This whole sequence of actions left Su Tao both embarrassed and shy.
She had originally been flustered, dealing with Chi Xiaocheng.
Now, her soft earlobes were flushed red, and she covered her face, not even daring to turn back to look at Chi Xiaocheng.
As the instigator of the yandere act, Chi Xiaocheng naturally maintained her usual self-satisfied demeanor.
Having interacted with Su Tao for so long, this was the first time Chi Xiaocheng had seen her look so shy.
So cute~
Shyness is good. Shyness means a stirring of the heart, a stirring of the heart means good feelings, and with good feelings, can liking be far behind?
Half a month ago, no matter what, Su Tao probably wouldn't have developed any feelings of liking.
Taotao, liking happens without you even realizing it~
Chi Xiaocheng wasn't in a hurry to speak, but quietly waited for Su Tao to compose herself.
Su Tao was a big-hearted person, otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to withstand the constant pressure. It took her about 30 seconds to adjust her mindset.
Although a faint blush still lingered on her pretty face, her voice had quieted down. "Xiaocheng, let's continue our previous topic. As for the orange juice... you have to listen to me, okay?"
"Okay~"
Chi Xiaocheng obediently handed the knife over.
Seeing her "Flower Kiss Therapy" work, and with Chi Xiaocheng now not only obedient but also compliant, Su Tao breathed a sigh of relief.
Quickly taking the small knife from Chi Xiaocheng, Su Tao gestured for Chi Xiaocheng to extend her hand. "Then... just a little bit first."
Her original goal was merely to control the extent of Chi Xiaocheng's self-harm.
Chi Xiaocheng obediently extended her hand, old scars hidden by the long sleeves of her patient gown. Her delicate little hand was almost too precious to mar.
Su Tao swallowed.
Her hand, holding the knife in an awkward way, trembled slightly.
Nervously, she looked up at Chi Xiaocheng. "It'll hurt a little."
"Mhm mhm~"
Still very obedient.
That smiling gaze was filled with immense anticipation.
Inhale...
Exhale...
The tip of the knife slowly touched the tip of Chi Xiaocheng's index finger.
Su Tao understood the purpose of her proactive move.
It wasn't to drink orange juice, but to restrain Chi Xiaocheng.
This was necessary for treatment, this was necessary for treatment, this was necessary for treatment, this was necessary for treatment...
Constantly giving herself psychological encouragement, Su Tao gritted her teeth.
Her hand, gripping the knife, applied a little pressure.
A tiny cut appeared on the delicate fingertip.
A drop of orange juice was squeezed out.
