Peach-Orange! – Chapter 234 – Longing to See Xiaocheng, Sick with Longing

“Within a certain timeframe?”

Su Tao didn’t quite understand Dr. Cheng’s meaning. As for fulfilling all of Xiaocheng’s demands, she felt she could do that.

If Xiaocheng asked, she would definitely do it.

Dr. Cheng: “Yes. The girl I treated was already quite severe. To ensure the person she liked would always love her, she was willing to break the law to eliminate others.

“The boy she liked had some feelings for her too but didn’t want her to remain so deranged, which is why he sought my help.

“The research and experimentation process was long, so I won’t go into details.

“Ultimately, we found that most yandere girls suffer from extreme insecurity. They don’t get what they believe they deserve, which leads to their distorted behavior.

“In the girl’s mind, the boy belonged to her alone and should love only her. But the boy had many friends, both male and female, which was the root of her insecurity.

“Later, through conversations, we learned what the girl most desired. Since the boy already liked her, he cut off all contact with the outside world for a month.

“Despite being an otaku, he didn’t even look at his 2D waifus. He stayed by the girl’s side, devotedly caring for her and loving her.

“During this time, he used words to guide and reassure her, and through small opportunities, showed her that friends were just friends, while she was his eternal and only one.”

Dr. Cheng typed slowly, pausing for over twenty seconds after each sentence, like a cat scratching at Su Tao’s heart.

“And then, Dr. Cheng? Was the girl’s yandere condition cured just like that?”

Dr. Cheng: “It wasn’t that simple. This was a long-term treatment. Now, the girl’s emotions have stabilized. Through gradual guidance, she was allowed to interact with the boy’s friends to confirm they posed no threat.

“Slowly, her restrictions on the boy loosened, and the likelihood of her ‘episodes’ decreased.

“Miss Peach, I think you understand what I’m getting at. Your Xiaocheng friend is still in the early stages of yandere tendencies. This method will absolutely work.

“Fulfill all her needs, give her a sense of security, and ideally, establish a relationship with her. Let her know that even if you go out to meet friends, your heart will always be with her.

“Over time, influenced by various circumstances, changing someone’s temperament isn’t difficult.

“By the way, you mentioned earlier that Miss Xiaocheng was critically ill. I’ve been too busy to check. How is she now? Has her yandere condition worsened?”

Reading Dr. Cheng’s words, Su Tao smiled bitterly and recounted everything that had happened.

She trusted Dr. Cheng deeply, and since he had always been aware of Chi Xiaocheng’s situation, Su Tao told him everything, except for one detail.

She described Chi Xiaocheng’s death and revival as a severe coma, from which she had only recently awakened.

Personality changes, emotional numbness, memory disorder….

After understanding the situation, Dr. Cheng responded with a long string of ellipses to convey his silence.

Su Tao asked the same question she had asked Cheng Cheng: “Dr. Cheng, do you think I should restore Xiaocheng’s memories?”

Dr. Cheng: “The fact that you’re hesitating means you already have an answer in your heart.”

True indecision often stems from external influences.

When hesitating whether to stay up late, the desire to do so is already there. It’s just the fear of harming one’s health or affecting the next day that causes hesitation.

Dr. Cheng: “This isn’t a decision you should seek others’ opinions on. Follow your heart. For now, you can start by apologizing to her and mending your relationship.”

Dr. Cheng: “If she can’t recover her memories and stops being a yandere, then what I said earlier would be irrelevant anyway.”

Dr. Cheng’s words made Su Tao’s eyes light up.

This morning, Dongfang Yang had already told Xiaocheng about Ye Liang’s death and even took her side, explaining that her ‘hatred’ was just a misunderstanding.

All she needed to do now was apologize, and maybe their relationship would quickly return to normal!

Whether to restore her memories could be decided later.

If she could communicate with Xiaocheng, she wouldn’t be so consumed by the fear of being hated and could think more rationally.

“Thank you for your guidance, Dr. Cheng. Actually, I’d like to invite you to Jiuzhou City to see Xiaocheng.”

Dr. Cheng: “Huh?”

“When we first met, you said you’d be free in about three months. It’s been three months now, and that yandere girl is cured, so….

“You’re free, right?

“Don’t worry about money— I… have a brother named Dongfang Yang. He’s very rich!”

‘Though I’m completely broke myself.…’

‘But Dongfang Yang, you’re a good person. I’ll owe you another favor this time.’

In her heart, Su Tao issued another ‘good person card’ to Dongfang Yang as she awaited Dr. Cheng’s reply.

The other party seemed sensitive about this topic. After a long pause, a message finally arrived.

Dr. Cheng: “Ahem, to be honest, I’m on New Year’s break now. My wife and child are at home, and I just promised to take my daughter to a vacation before Spring Festival, so… sorry about that.”

Dr. Cheng: “Miss Xiaocheng is still in an amnesiac state. By the time she recovers her memories, it’ll at least be after the New Year when I’m back at work.”

Dr. Cheng: “But don’t worry, this is my personal WeChat. I check it regularly, so if you have any questions, I’ll reply.”

Su Tao felt disappointed reading the message.

In her eagerness to have Dr. Cheng diagnose Xiaocheng, she had forgotten that it was almost New Year’s and he had family to attend to.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, she ended the chat with a promise to stay in touch. Putting down her phone, she stared blankly at the night view.

“Can I go apologize to Xiaocheng now?

“After Dongfang Yang told her about Ye Liang’s death, what does Xiaocheng think? Will she forgive me?”

Come to think of it, an apology requires a gift.

Empty-handed, Su Tao felt too embarrassed to visit Chi Xiaocheng’s room directly.

But she missed Xiaocheng so much!

She wanted to chat with Xiaocheng, feed her fruit, hear her call her ‘Tao-Tao,’ sleep with her, be entangled in her terrible octopus-like sleeping posture, experience her suffocating yet twisted love….

Images of Fang Ning and others happily chatting with Chi Xiaocheng flashed through her mind.

The longing in her heart grew stronger.

Su Tao took a deep breath and noticed a vendor outside the hospital gate packing up his stall, with a few remaining sticks of candied hawthorn left.

“I want to see Xiaocheng—!”

Su Tao shouted at the night sky beyond the balcony, then sprinted toward the stairwell.

Candied hawthorn might be a simple gift.

But she wanted to see her!

Right now!
