Peach-Orange! – Chapter 324 – Status Glasses · Xiaocheng Edition

“First, regarding the specific situation that happened yesterday. Since Dongfang Yang was present earlier, there were some things I couldn’t say outright.”

Si Chen spoke slowly to Chi Xiaocheng. “Dr. Lin and I were actually observing Su Tao’s condition the entire day yesterday. Aside from physical strain, her bigger issues might lie in her mental and emotional state.”]

“Because she almost lost you again, it seems she’s on the verge of breaking down. Like a balloon filled to capacity, or a cup of water filled to the brim. Just a little more, and it might explode.

“Last night, when we discussed matters related to you, Su Tao was adamant and insisted on using extreme measures like hypnosis to restore your memories, even while you’re still injured.

“Do you know what this means?”

Facing Si Chen’s question, Chi Xiaocheng couldn’t move her body but tilted her head slightly. “Of course I know. It means Tao-Tao cares about me even more, and just like we planned, her possessiveness toward me has increased significantly!

“This is completely a good thing!”

She thought that Tao-Tao’s possessiveness should be close to 90 points by now.

Although progress slows down the higher it goes, since she hasn’t taken any extreme actions and only had this thought about memories, her current guess was…

85?

Si Chen looked at Chi Xiaocheng speechlessly. “What I mean is, Su Tao is becoming increasingly obsessive and is gradually becoming uncontrollable. If you keep pretending to have amnesia, she might really turn into a yandere like you under all kinds of pressure in the future!”

“I’m a little abnormal, but not that severe.” Chi Xiaocheng rolled her eyes at Si Chen but still couldn’t bring herself to say: I’m not a yandere.

On some level of self-awareness, she had noticed it a little, which was why she could admit so freely that she wasn’t normal.

She continued, “Increasing Tao-Tao’s possessiveness and making her unable to leave me… that version of her would naturally have some tendencies toward being unhealthy, but not to an extreme degree. She’d still have her own rationality and ability to think. That’s my goal.”

“But—”

Si Chen wanted to say more but was interrupted by Chi Xiaocheng. “Relax, you can’t see Tao-Tao clearly, but I can. I’ve been watching her changes all along. There’s no way this will backfire.”

Seeing Chi Xiaocheng so confident, Si Chen began to doubt himself.

He and Dr. Lin had speculated that if Su Tao continued like this, she would inevitably become a yandere.

Especially since she had awakened her bloodline, there was a chance she would undergo Darkening when angry. A yandere with such terrifying power would be truly frightening.

Could it be that Chi Xiaocheng had some other plan she hadn’t told him about?

Si Chen couldn’t figure it out, but since he followed Chi Xiaocheng’s lead, he didn’t argue. Instead, he said, “Then let’s set aside Su Tao’s matter for now. You should consider the issue of memories.

“Originally, we planned to have Dr. Lin’s friend help hypnotize you, and you’d pretend the hypnosis had some effect, but not much, to make Su Tao anxious for a while longer, right?”

Chi Xiaocheng nodded. “Yeah, did something go wrong with that?”

“Mm. For some reason, Su Tao doesn’t seem to trust me anymore. She had Dongfang Yang invite a hypnosis master.”

As he spoke, Si Chen frowned. “If that master performs the hypnosis, we can’t just fake it. He might actually hypnotize you and guide you toward memory-related content.”

This kind of hypnosis was unstable.

The chances of something going wrong were also much higher.

Even if Chi Xiaocheng’s acting skills were flawless, once truly hypnotized, her performance would be useless.

If it were someone on their side they could manipulate the hypnosis….

However, Chi Xiaocheng wasn’t worried at all about Si Chen’s concerns. “So what if he’s a real master? My memories are already complete. No matter how he hypnotizes me, he won’t get any other feedback. Once the hypnosis is over, I’ll just keep acting like before.”

The plan didn’t need to change.

Su Tao’s gradual descent into unhealthy tendencies was also within Chi Xiaocheng’s expectations.

The progress bar was almost full now.

Just a little more.

Just a little more, and she could confess everything to Tao-Tao.

Then they’d be together forever.

But Si Chen still wasn’t reassured. “How about I have Dr. Lin give you some psychological suggestions during this time? Just in case—”

“Ugh, why are you being so naggy too?” Chi Xiaocheng said helplessly. “Look at all the times before. When have I ever failed? Since Tao-Tao already knows about her father, you should focus more on him instead.

“Chu Lingfeng isn’t dead yet, Dragon King Xiao Ming’s whereabouts are unknown, and Second Young Master Ye is targeting Dongfang Yang in the capital. He’ll probably come back to Jiuzhou City after the New Year. We need reinforcements.”

Besides, she had her system skills.

Intermediate Acting was already unbeatable.

If push came to shove, she could take medicine and use an acting card before the hypnosis to upgrade Intermediate Acting to Ultimate Acting.

Wasn’t the system’s functionality much more reliable than Dr. Lin’s psychological suggestions?

Seeing Chi Xiaocheng so confident, Si Chen had no choice but to agree. “Alright then, I’ll listen to you. I’ll leave Chu Lingfeng to your brother. From now on, I’ll focus on Si Zhenliu. As for Su Tao… you handle her yourself.”

“Okay~”

Chi Xiaocheng responded, then suddenly remembered something. “Oh right, find a chance to give this to Su Tao.”

She took out a black-framed pair of glasses without lenses.

At first glance, it looked like a cheap decorative item from a dollar store, but the reflective silver particles embedded in it gave off an inexplicable sense of technology.

Si Chen took the glasses, puzzled. “What is this thing?”

Chi Xiaocheng smiled meaningfully. “You can try putting them on.”

Confused, Si Chen swapped out his own glasses for these.

Then, his jaw dropped in shock.

These lensless glasses were actually displaying strings of text out of thin air!

After reading the displayed text, Si Chen was drenched in cold sweat.

Was the girl lying on the hospital bed just an ordinary little girl?

No, what Si Chen saw was the technological empire behind Chi Xiaocheng!

First, the talking plush toy, now these glasses… What kind of top-tier black technology was this?!

Si Chen vaguely understood Chi Xiaocheng’s intention. “You want me to give this to Su Tao… Is it so that—”

Chi Xiaocheng smiled faintly. “The text content you see is all customizable. But I’ve only set it up for Tao-Tao’s details. As for its purpose….”

She slowed her speech, her eyes tinged with a hint of crimson.

“When you feel Tao-Tao is almost completely leaning toward me, give her these glasses as the final push.”
