Peach-Orange! – Chapter 228 – Desire and Inner Demons

Both involve recovering memories.

Both involve treatment.

But complete amnesia and memory disorder are two entirely different things.

If it were the former, perhaps she wouldn’t be hated by her. Maybe from the very beginning, she could tell her many stories from their past.

Then, with the testimony of Dongfang Yang, Si Chen, and others, she could take her home and let her hold King. Wouldn’t that make the return of their emotions faster?

She might even be able to quietly erase the painful things that happened in the past, keeping them in her own heart without letting Xiaocheng know.

Unrealistic thoughts flashed through her mind one after another. Su Tao decided to straightforwardly express her thoughts to Chengcheng at this moment.

But just as she started, Chengcheng quickly sent a message to interrupt: “Wait a minute! I don’t even know how severe Xiaocheng’s memory disorder is yet. Don’t just keep talking on your own!”

Su Tao awkwardly laughed, “Sorry, I got a little lost in my own world. Let me explain it to you.”

She repeated the details of Chi Xiaocheng’s memory disorder after waking up, but with each repetition, her mood sank even lower.

Finally, she confessed that she had actually wondered if it would be better if Xiaocheng had complete amnesia rather than memory disorder.

The words typed in the chatbox couldn’t help but carry a heavy tone.

Chengcheng fell silent for about half a minute before sending a message: “Tao-Tao, you really only think about yourself, don’t you?”

Tao-Tao replied instantly: “I’m sorry.”

Chengcheng: “Have you considered Xiaocheng’s feelings in all this? Complete amnesia, blank like a sheet of paper… all her colors would be yours to fill in.”

Chengcheng: “You could effortlessly possess her, change her, and instill in her the thoughts you ‘like.’ Would that version of Xiaocheng still be Xiaocheng?”

Reading the words in the chat, Su Tao’s face flushed with shame.

Even if that thought had only crossed her mind for a moment, it had still existed.

Doing that to Xiaocheng would indeed be far too selfish.

But what Chengcheng said next made Su Tao freeze again.

Chengcheng: “But putting myself in Xiaocheng’s shoes, I’d actually be quite happy that you had such thoughts.”

“Why?”

Chengcheng: “Because it shows you want to possess her. Making her lose her memory and then painting that blank canvas entirely with your colors. If you didn’t care about her, you wouldn’t say something like that.”

Chengcheng: “From a yandere’s perspective, that’s definitely something to love.”

Su Tao stuck out her tongue, “I was just thinking about it! Even if Xiaocheng really had complete amnesia, I wouldn’t do something like that!”

However, Chengcheng did remind her of one thing.

Yandere!

Xiaocheng, with her disordered memories, had no recollection of her past yandere tendencies.

This was something neither Si Chen nor Dr. Lin had noticed!

Would this “recovered” version of her still become a yandere in the future?

Su Tao quickly shared this discovery with her friend Chengcheng.

The other party replied: “That’s actually a really good angle. Over the past couple of days, have you noticed any other changes in her compared to before?

“Specifically regarding yandere tendencies.”

Su Tao recalled the few times she had interacted with Chi Xiaocheng.

Her yandere side was rarely something you could judge from her outward appearance.

But there was one thing Su Tao had noticed.

“Her eyes aren’t as eerie as before. How should I put it… her gaze has become much clearer and colder. Does that count?”

Though it might have been an illusion, whenever Chi Xiaocheng had an episode, Su Tao always felt that those crimson eyes were terrifying, sometimes even glowing.

Now, there was none of that feeling at all.

Chengcheng thought for a moment, “If the trigger for her yandere tendencies before was you and Ye Liang, and now Ye Liang is dead, while her post-memory-disorder demeanor shows no signs of yandere behavior….

“Then, Tao-Tao, do you think it’s possible that Xiaocheng… might never have another episode again?”

Su Tao’s pupils contracted as she stared at the lines of text against the green background.

Chengcheng was like a mind-reading witch, digging out the thoughts buried deep in her heart and laying them bare.

One after another, messages appeared against the green background.

“Look at it another way. Because of this memory disorder, Chi Xiaocheng is no longer a yandere.

“Without Ye Liang, she won’t repeat the things she did to you before.

“Remember, without a beginning, all hopes and fantasies are meaningless!

“Haven’t you always wanted to cure her yandere tendencies?

“You want to have a perfect Xiaocheng, don’t you?

“She’d be obedient, adore you, affectionately call you by your favorite pet name, indulge you, spoil you, cling to you, and love you no matter what you say.

“Even her little tantrums and playfulness would just be seasoning for your relationship.

“Most importantly, without her yandere side, she’d still be just as unwavering in never leaving you, just like before.

“From then on, you wouldn’t be hurt, wouldn’t feel pressured, wouldn’t have to scream in frustration and pain about what to do. You’d just enjoy her cuteness and love… forever.”

The words on her phone seemed to come alive, slowly drawing out the deepest desires in Su Tao’s heart.

Or perhaps… her greed.

She loved Xiaocheng, but it wasn’t just simple love.

The pain and pressure Chi Xiaocheng had brought her far outweighed the happiness and joy she had felt.

The root cause was two words: yandere!

And now, there was a possibility of eradicating Xiaocheng’s yandere tendencies!

With a “ding,” another message from Chengcheng arrived.

“Tao-Tao, based on what you said earlier, those doctors analyzed that Xiaocheng doesn’t actually hate you, and that her worsening condition is more likely due to her being stubborn, right?

“Doesn’t that mean the two of you will eventually clear up the misunderstanding and reconcile?

“After reconciling, when it comes to your romantic feelings, you’ll have endless time to rebuild your bond and slowly make her fall for you again.

“Isn’t that exactly the scenario you imagined earlier? Her with complete amnesia, never becoming a yandere again.

“Never becoming a yandere, only bringing you happiness… what a beautiful future that would be!”

At this moment, Chengcheng was like a true demon.

Every word struck a chord in Su Tao’s heart.

“Tao-Tao, do you really want Xiaocheng to recover her memories… and become that terrifying yandere again?”
