Peach-Orange! – Chapter 221 – Chaotic Memories (Bonus Chapter Again for Brazilian Blue Electric Fan’s Tickling Powder)

If it were ordinary amnesia, Dongfang Yang could understand that.

If the memory loss occurred slightly later, with her still remembering working at his café, he would also consider that normal.

But when his probing question received that particular response, Dongfang Yang immediately sensed something was wrong.

The incident where Ye Liang tried to kill her, if he remembered correctly, only became a full-blown conflict during her second hospitalization.

By that time, Su Tao and her relationship had long since returned to normal. The two were practically inseparable during that period. If her memories stopped there, how could she have forgotten Su Tao and become so cold toward her?

Unless….

Dongfang Yang didn’t dare entertain the possibility that might devastate Su Tao. He quickly followed up on Chi Xiaocheng’s words, “Ye Liang certainly deserved to die, but Chi Xiaocheng, you can’t say that about Su Tao. When Ye Liang tried to kill you, she didn’t take his side.”

“How didn’t she!” Chi Xiaocheng said discontentedly. “Sister Su Tao… no, Su Tao was with Ye Liang, saying I was being unreasonable and telling me not to cling to her like a child. When Ye Liang threatened to hit me, she just stood by and let it happen. I remember all of that clearly!

“And that time when I ran into Ye Liang on the street, he even wanted to kill me! If Brother hadn’t saved me, I might have died already!

“And what about Su Tao? After finding out, she said nothing and ignored me, acting like it never happened!”

She didn’t even call her “sister” anymore, frowning as she retorted, “Boss, are you misremembering? Her ignoring me and blaming me, wasn’t that taking Ye Liang’s side? She even went to a banquet with him!”

With each complaint Chi Xiaocheng voiced, Dongfang Yang’s heart sank further.

He knew exactly which incidents she was referring to.

Reαԁ οո KαtRеαԁіnɡCafе

He remembered the attempted murder by Ye Liang very clearly. After Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng’s relationship had improved significantly, they went shopping together and planned to visit his Yangyang Cat Café.

Su Tao went to the restroom midway, and Chi Xiaocheng, left alone, happened to encounter Ye Liang.

At that time, Ye Liang tried to kill Chi Xiaocheng, even stabbing her with a knife.

It was precisely because of this incident that Su Tao cut ties with Ye Liang.

Later, Chi Song arrived and kicked Ye Liang’s balls into oblivion, creating lasting enmity. This incident became the catalyst for their feud. Afterward, Ye Liang not only sent people to hunt down Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng but even hired a sniper.

In this incident, how could Su Tao possibly have taken Ye Liang’s side?

She had completely become strangers with Ye Liang for Chi Xiaocheng’s sake!

Yet Chi Xiaocheng claimed that when Ye Liang nearly killed her, Su Tao did nothing?

What kind of international joke was this?

The banquet was even more absurd.

In the past, when Chi Xiaocheng disrupted the banquet, making it impossible to attend, Su Tao had actively refused afterward. Nothing like that had ever happened.

It seemed Chi Xiaocheng wasn’t just suffering from amnesia. Her memories were completely jumbled!

Dongfang Yang wasn’t a professional doctor, so he didn’t dare jump to conclusions. He continued asking Chi Xiaocheng about some details.

Only when she showed slight impatience did he stop questioning and abruptly ask one final question, “Then Chi Xiaocheng, how do you feel about me?”

Chi Xiaocheng tilted her head, looking at Dongfang Yang in confusion. “What do you mean?”

Dongfang Yang put on a somewhat silly smile and said sheepishly, “I mean… your feelings toward me. Do you like me… or something else?”

From their earlier conversation, Dongfang Yang noticed Chi Xiaocheng’s memories of him hadn’t changed much.

But whenever Su Tao was involved, her role seemed to be erased.

Still, directly asking if she liked him was practically a confession, making Dongfang Yang feel embarrassed himself.

He averted his gaze, awkwardly staring at a potted plant nearby.

At that moment, he failed to notice Chi Xiaocheng looking at him as if he were an idiot.

Then she slowly said, “Boss… no, Dongfang Yang, don’t joke around. You’re a good person. I just see you as an older brother.”

Dongfang Yang stiffened at her words.

He quickly forced an awkward laugh. “Haha, right, right. I was just asking. Don’t misunderstand.”

With that, he stood up and brushed off his red robe. “You’ll need to cooperate with the doctors for checkups later, right? I won’t disturb your rest anymore. I’ll head out now.”

“Mm, bye-bye.”

Chi Xiaocheng waved politely.

She seemed perfectly normal and calm, without a hint of strangeness. But Dongfang Yang knew that Chi Xiaocheng’s memories were chaotic.

And it wasn’t just regarding Su Tao!

Exiting the ward, Dongfang Yang clicked his tongue. “This is tricky. I thought Chi Xiaocheng’s memory chaos only involved Su Tao. Turns out her memories about me are messed up too.

“She used to like me so much, yet with her memories jumbled, she says she only sees me as a brother and even gave me a ‘good person’ card.

“Otherwise, when I asked if she liked me, she should have blushed shyly.”

Dongfang Yang returned to Professor Su’s office. Seeing Su Tao, he said, “We’ll need to wait for the doctors’ examinations and diagnoses from both Dr. Chen and Dr. Lin to confirm Chi Xiaocheng’s specific condition.”

Su Tao asked anxiously, “Dongfang Yang, does Xiaocheng remember you? How does she treat you? From your perspective, what’s her situation?”

Dongfang Yang gestured for her to calm down. “Of course she remembers me. Just like how she used to really like you but became cold toward you, the same happened with me.

“Her feelings toward me have also become distorted and chaotic.”

Su Tao pressed further, “Is she cold to you too?”

“Well…” Dongfang Yang rubbed his nose, recalling the earlier scene.

Being given a “good person” card was definitely something he shouldn’t mention.

So he replied, “It’s… pretty much the same. She’s definitely not as warm toward me as before.”

Dongfang Yang’s answer made Su Tao breathe a slight sigh of relief. “If her memories are chaotic, can they be restored?”

“Her schizophrenia might be hard to treat, but recovering lost memories isn’t difficult. There are many methods. There was a case where someone lost their memory, and a master managed to restore it through hypnosis and guidance. Examples like this are everywhere, so don’t worry.”

This comfort eased Su Tao’s mind.

If Chi Xiaocheng stayed like this indefinitely, she wouldn’t know what to do.

Facing her yandere tendencies again wasn’t impossible, but those painful yet bittersweet memories… Su Tao didn’t want to lose them just like that.

Compared to the Xiaocheng who used to follow her like a little sister, calling her “elder sister,”

The current her preferred the Xiaocheng who called her “Tao-Tao.”

Thinking this, Su Tao unconsciously tightened her grip on her phone, gazing expectantly at the chat window with the ID “Dr. Cheng.”

There was still no reply.

But if it was him, he would surely have a solution this time too!
