Chapter 89: Watch Closely, This Is What ‘Yandere’ Means!
“Yandere?”
The little follower voiced her confusion again, slowly shaking her head.
Of course. She didn’t even know what love was, so how could she understand the concept of a yandere?
Chi Xiaocheng also felt she might have been too hasty.
She had just taken the girl in. Even if she wanted the girl to help her, shouldn’t she try to build up some goodwill first?
“Let’s not talk about that for now,” Chi Xiaocheng changed the subject. “What’s your name?”
“Fang Ning.”
“Do people usually call you by any affectionate nicknames or pet names?”
Fang Ning looked at Chi Xiaocheng with a simple expression. “Liu Guijia often calls me ‘hey’ or ‘that person.’ Do those count?”
Chi Xiaocheng rubbed her forehead with a sigh. “Never mind. From now on, I’ll call you Ningning, and you can call me Xiaocheng. The takeout should be arriving soon. After you eat, I’ll show you what a yandere is.”
“Okay.”
Fang Ning nodded obediently, the two words “yandere” constantly echoing in her mind, as if she were repeatedly confirming what she was about to do.
While waiting for the takeout, Chi Xiaocheng first explained the general definition of a yandere to Fang Ning.
She also searched for the term on Moegirlopedia and showed it to Fang Ning.
Even with her stomach rumbling from hunger, the little girl read very attentively.
“Due to loving someone, an extremely twisted psychology develops, manifesting as intense possessiveness…”
The doorbell rang. Fang Ning, holding the phone, continued to murmur the words on the screen.
Chi Xiaocheng stood up and offered a faint smile. “Just reading the text might not be enough for you to understand, and there are many types of yandere. I’ll introduce you to them in a moment.”
Chi Xiaocheng walked to the door and reached out to open it. “Hello, is this the takeout? You can just give it to me.”
However, after she spoke, the man standing at the door didn’t react.
Chi Xiaocheng looked up, puzzled.
The delivery man was wearing a raincoat, his body wrapped tightly. Half of his face, revealed beneath the hood, looked somewhat distorted. Chi Xiaocheng was only a little over 1.5 meters tall, and looking up, she could just see a pair of eyes beneath the hood.
They were bloodshot and constantly scanned everything in the living room through the crack in the open door, as if… searching for threats.
This person wasn’t a delivery man!
Chi Xiaocheng’s hair bristled, and she instinctively tried to close the door.
Then, with a thud, the door was pushed open from the outside.
The man in the raincoat propped one hand against the doorframe, pushing his head inside. His burn-scarred face beneath the hood revealed an aggressively menacing smile.
He stared fixedly at Chi Xiaocheng’s face, his voice hoarse, “Little cake, I found you!”
Meanwhile, Chi Xiaocheng was pressing firmly against the back of the door, as if trying to push both the door and the man out with all her might.
Her heart pounded with extreme anxiety. “System, activate my dark transformation skill, quick, quick, quick!”
“Host, the dark transformation skill is passive, I can’t activate it…”
Anger itself was not an emotion easily controlled by people.
And the rain-coated man continued to gaze at Chi Xiaocheng obsessively. “Do you know, the first time I saw you, I knew you were my little cake. I’ve waited so many days; that man who was constantly staking out the neighborhood finally left, huh~”
This strange declaration of love made Chi Xiaocheng’s skin crawl.
She continued to press against the door, preventing him from entering, while forcing herself to calm down.
If he were to burst in, there were only two ways to deal with it:
1. Use her emergency stash of over 1000 emotion points.
2. Xiaocheng gets furious, then undergoes dark transformation.
The prerequisite for option 2 was someone enraging her.
Or…
She could feign compliance with this rain-coated man, then call her brother to come back!
Chi Xiaocheng immediately pulled out her phone, planning to try other methods first.
She tried to dial her brother’s number, but seeing this, the rain-coated man pushed the door hard.
After all, Chi Xiaocheng was just a frail young girl. Although her physique had previously recovered to a sub-healthy level, days of neglect meant that if she hadn’t occasionally bought the system’s medicine to take, she probably wouldn’t have been able to hold on.
With a hard push of the door, Chi Xiaocheng stumbled onto the rug in the entryway.
The call she intended for her brother instead connected to Si Chen’s contact.
Chi Xiaocheng grabbed her phone and scrambled back a few steps, then turned and yelled to Fang Ning, “Ningning, hide—”
Before she could finish, Chi Xiaocheng noticed that Fang Ning had, at some point, stood behind her.
In her hand, she held a kitchen knife taken from the kitchen.
Her gaze was fixed intently on the rain-coated man walking in.
Chi Xiaocheng’s heart leaped with joy. She quickly snatched the kitchen knife and shielded Fang Ning.
From the phone, Si Chen’s confused voice came through. “Chi Xiaocheng, why are you calling me?”
Chi Xiaocheng immediately said, “Do you have anyone stationed nearby? Someone just broke in to rob me, help!”
“Help?”
Si Chen’s voice sounded bewildered.
*Hold on, sis, you still need my help?*
Chi Xiaocheng watched the tall, rain-coated man pressing ever closer, slowly retreating with Fang Ning, and at the same time said to Si Chen, “Yes, do you expect me, someone who couldn’t even tie up a chicken, to beat up a grown man? I can stall him a bit, hurry!”
Si Chen listened, then fell silent for a full ten seconds.
Then, he said to Chi Xiaocheng in a low voice, “Actually, Chi Xiaocheng, I still quite like Su Tao.”
With that, the call ended abruptly.
Only the "beep-beep-beep" of the dial tone remained.
Shoving her phone into her pocket, Chi Xiaocheng gripped the kitchen knife, her small body standing ramrod straight, her aura suddenly becoming sharp and menacing.
“That Si Chen… how dare he still like Tao Tao!”
Her voice was somewhat suppressed, startling the little follower behind her.
The rain-coated man, hearing Chi Xiaocheng’s words, seemed to find a new toy.
He walked towards Chi Xiaocheng step by step, holding his knife, and threatened, “Little cake, is that Tao Tao you mentioned the one who often comes to your house? She’s a great beauty, hehe. After uncle is done enjoying you, I’ll definitely let you sisters have a good reunion.”
The rain-coated man’s smile grew increasingly wild and deranged. “After all, your Tao Tao is also my prey, uncle’s prey~”
His words fell into Chi Xiaocheng’s ears.
Her eyes, which had been unfocused and somewhat detached due to lack of purpose, suddenly narrowed into eerie slits, gazing fiercely at the rain-coated man like a wolf.
With a ‘crack’.
The wooden handle of the kitchen knife in her hand shattered into splinters under Chi Xiaocheng’s grip!
“What did you say?”
The darkening amplification increased.
Chi Xiaocheng actively strode towards the rain-coated man, her chestnut-brown hair ruffled wildly by the cold wind blowing in from the doorway.
Her strange, slit pupils subtly glowed red.
The rain-coated man had no idea of Chi Xiaocheng’s state. Seeing her approach, he bared his distorted smile and reached out, intending to grab Chi Xiaocheng.
However, the agility of this petite figure was beyond his expectations.
Chi Xiaocheng merely tilted her head slightly, gracefully and calmly dodging his grasp.
With a flick of her arm, the kitchen knife in her right hand swung out violently.
Before the rain-coated man could even react, his outstretched left hand had already fallen to the ground in chunks.
“Ahhhhhh—!”
Excruciating pain struck, making the rain-coated man scream.
His adrenaline surged. The rain-coated man furiously swung his knife at Chi Xiaocheng.
However, faster than him, Chi Xiaocheng’s kitchen knife had already plunged into his abdomen.
And Fang Ning, standing not far away, numbly recalled Chi Xiaocheng’s earlier words.
— *In a moment, I’ll show you what a yandere is.*
“So… this is what a yandere is.”
