Peach-Orange! – Chapter 135 – Yandere Xiaocheng Returns

Several more days passed.

In the blink of an eye, the first week of December had ended.

With her system skills, Chi Xiaocheng recovered quickly and could now walk short distances.

Su Tao had fully recuperated, resuming her busy schedule while braving the winter chill for morning workouts.

One particular morning when Su Tao changed in her hospital room. Though fully clothed, the glimpse of her toned abs made Chi Xiaocheng declare it “delicious.”

Truly the novel’s perfect female lead: flawless in personality, looks, and figure.

Meanwhile, Chen Qian sent updates:

“Ye Liang wants me to spy, to drug you and Su Tao. I pretended to agree and made him eat that apple.

“His recovery stalled, but he’s spending big on new assassins. Be careful.

“He gave me 50,000 yuan upfront, promising millions later. Disgusting! He actually said ‘rewarding’ me with the ‘privilege’ of nursing him!

“Luckily that excuse let me force-feed him the entire apple.

“I’ll transfer you 20,000 yuan, and I already gave Xiaowei 10,000. I’ll keep infiltrating!”

Talk about high risk, high reward!

Chen Qian’s performance stunned Chi Xiaocheng.

The original plan was fake antidotes to buy loyalty during her own fake death. Instead, Chen Qian had penetrated enemy lines on her own.

This cannon fodder character, dead within ten chapters originally, was thriving!

Best of all, Ye Liang ate the poisoned apple.

The bad luck curse neutralized his male lead halo.

Even if the world’s will still favored him, eliminating him later would face no supernatural interference!

Having survived that insane car chase, Chi Xiaocheng understood this corrective power.

A novice driver. Icy roads. Near-zero visibility. Relentless pursuers. Guns. Even a collapsing bridge.

Yet Su Tao escaped with just a forehead scratch.

That life-or-death chase was less stressful than Chi Xiaocheng serving orange juice!

Only one concern remained: Ye Liang’s new hired killers.

That man’s continued existence disturbed her peace!

For now though, Chi Xiaocheng reveled in Su Tao’s hospital pampering, playing the perfect angel.

With discharge imminent and home confinement ahead, threats would require going outside, right?

Soon came discharge day.

Professor Su handed Su Tao medication bags. “Ensure she takes these daily! Most crucially, stabilize her emotions!”

The subtext was clear: Chi Xiaocheng’s mental state had improved. No repeat triggers allowed.

Until confirming her obedience wasn’t an act, indulge every whim.

Su Tao was prepared even for yandere episodes.

Professor Su then ruffled Chi Xiaocheng’s hair. “Eat properly, replenish nutrients. Understood?”

“Thank you, Auntie Su! See you next time~”

Chi Xiaocheng waved sweetly.

‘Though the next meeting might be during my fake death.’

Hand in hand, they walked home. After weeks indoors, Chi Xiaocheng savored the fresh air.

“Tao-Tao.”

“Hmm?”

“When do we play our game?” Chi Xiaocheng smiled innocently. “You’ve been so busy lately~ I want us alone together~”

That smile inexplicably chilled Su Tao.

This past month’s extreme obedience felt… unnatural. She almost wished for petty tantrums instead.

Because beneath lurked that terrifying yandere persona.

But now they could communicate, unlike before.

Su Tao played along. “What game did you have in mind?”

“House arrest!”

Chi Xiaocheng clapped excitedly. “Tao-Tao stays home, eating and drinking only what I provide. No stepping outside!”

Su Tao focused on the phrasing. “The whole house? Or just a room?”

“The whole house~” Chi Xiaocheng giggled. “Since I can’t cook, I’ll need Tao-Tao’s help~”

Not last time’s confinement. It was a literal homebound relaxation.

Three days indoors with Xiaocheng? Easy.

Perfect for observing her yandere tendencies over weekends.

Su Tao nodded. “But you must notify me beforehand so that I can clear my schedule.”

“How about this Saturday? Three days?”

An extra day… but manageable.

Best accommodate Xiaocheng initially.

“Okay,” Su Tao agreed.

“I love you most, Tao-Tao!”

Chi Xiaocheng hugged her, planting a cheek kiss before skipping ahead happily.

Her joy warmed Su Tao’s heart.

Another day passed.

Spending hundreds of emotion points, Chi Xiaocheng completed preparations.

No need for acting obedient without Su Tao present.

She modified rooms, stocked the fridge with three days’ food, and lined up jumbo orange juice bottles.

Then, twirling that familiar fruit knife, she texted Su Tao with a creepy smile:

“Tao-Tao~ Ready for our game?~”

‘That betrayal on the bridge… I never forgot.’
