Peach-Orange! – Chapter 366 – The Strategist, A Genius Romance Novelist Joins the Battle!

“Moreover, Su Tao, I always feel like you’ve misunderstood me. Is there a possibility that it’s not that I’m too skilled, but that you’re too slow?”

Jiang Nan truly had no experience with romance, nor did she have much expectation for a future partner.

She had accumulated plenty of experience writing romance novels and had even interviewed many young couples while gathering material.

Seeing Su Tao fall into deep thought over the word “slow,” Jiang Nan said calmly, “Well, it’s true. Those involved cannot see as clearly as bystanders. You probably haven’t realized your own slowness.”

“Then…” Su Tao stopped dwelling on the matter and instead fixed her burning gaze on Jiang Nan. “Jiang Nan, can you be my strategist?”

“Huh?”

Faced with the girl’s widened eyes, Su Tao spoke very seriously, “Can you teach me how to make Xiaocheng like me? Or how to ‘bend’ Xiaocheng!”

If before, Su Tao had always held the mentality of “we’re both girls, this isn’t okay,” then after Chi Xiaocheng echoed those same words back to her, that thought had completely vanished.

What “it’s not okay because we’re both girls”?

She just wanted to be with Xiaocheng!

The breaking of such notions happens imperceptibly in daily life.

But realizing it truly only takes a single moment.

Perhaps as early as when Su Tao became addicted to Chi Xiaocheng’s kisses and whispered “I’m sorry” in the middle of the night, full of guilt, she had already shed that mindset. Only her heart was still hung up on it, unable to move past.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

After Chi Xiaocheng was revived and Su Tao once again held that petite body in her arms to sleep, her subconscious had already formed a thought: ‘Xiaocheng is so sweet and soft. This is amazing.’

Or perhaps, what she liked wasn’t a specific gender.

It was just Xiaocheng herself.

Lost in thought, Su Tao stared straight at Jiang Nan, making the delicate-featured girl sigh helplessly. “I think… you should just let things take their natural course. A forced melon isn’t sweet.

“But it quenches thirst!”

Su Tao’s gaze remained unwavering.

She didn’t tell Jiang Nan the full truth, but what she intended to do wouldn’t change. Over these past few days, she could sense that although Xiaocheng still claimed to see her as an older sister, in reality, she would blush and shy away from Su Tao’s various ambiguous actions.

And this was precisely the subconscious manifestation of her affection!

At the same time, it also meant that her memories would gradually recover as these subconscious emotions surfaced.

Even without the help of doctors like Dongfang Wen, Su Tao could still find her own way onto the right path!

Faced with Su Tao’s resolute gaze, Jiang Nan finally relented. “Anyway, I’ll only provide you with methods. I won’t interfere in your relationship. If anything goes wrong, don’t come blaming me, got it?”

“I understand!”

Jiang Nan’s lips twitched. “I don’t think you do. After class, let’s go to the print shop and draft a liability waiver first.”

“Is that really necessary?”

“Absolutely necessary! I don’t know why, but my sixth sense tells me that getting too close to you is dangerous.”

Su Tao rubbed her head, not understanding why Jiang Nan would have such a sixth sense.

But with this romance expert offering advice, Su Tao felt even more confident. “So, what should I do next?”

Jiang Nan glanced at the teacher who had started lecturing, listened for a bit, and after confirming there was nothing of substance,

she raised a finger and analyzed, “First, we need to clarify the goal: making Xiaocheng like you, another girl.

“Then, based on this goal, we can create a step-by-step plan, from mild to intense.

“Right now, you’ve already made Xiaocheng aware that you like her. Since this first step is done, you can use that awareness to further your interactions. Create scenarios filled with affection and ambiguity, and see if she rejects them.

Su Tao pondered this and said, “Xiaocheng probably wouldn’t reject it. Sometimes, she blushes at my little actions. That’s a good sign, right?”

“If she blushes, it means she doesn’t truly see you as just an older sister.” Jiang Nan snapped her fingers lightly. “That’s good. It means there’s a possibility of ‘bending’ her. What you need to do next isn’t to forcefully express your affection. Scaring her will only backfire.

“Next, you should test her boundaries, step by step, to see how deeply she can accept your ambiguous actions.”

“Be more specific?”

“Use physical contact to stir her emotions. Start with kissing… whether it’s a perfectly timed mutual kiss or a forced kabedon in an ambiguous atmosphere, anything works. As long as she doesn’t reject it and starts having strange thoughts about it, the chance of ‘bending’ her is high.”

Su Tao’s approach had always been a slow simmer. Even when impatient, she had learned from past mistakes and only gradually stirred Chi Xiaocheng’s emotions.

But Jiang Nan’s method was like replacing a slow simmer with a high-heat stir-fry.

Su Tao hesitated. “This… this might not work. I’m afraid she’ll just react badly.”

When Chi Xiaocheng was asleep at night, Su Tao would sometimes sneak in some… well, ahem, that kind of thing. But doing it openly, given Chi Xiaocheng’s current state? She really didn’t dare.

She was afraid Chi Xiaocheng would say “we’re both girls” again and start disliking her once more.

But Jiang Nan disagreed. “You’re overthinking it, which is why I said you’re slow. When she starts blushing at your interactions, you can basically try kissing her.

“If you don’t dare go straight for it, fake a fall, pretend to turn your head and ‘accidentally’ bump into her, trip over yourself while turning around, and ‘unexpectedly’ kiss her. All of that works.

“Just come up with a plausible excuse. The key is observing her reaction.”

Su Tao suddenly felt that Jiang Nan made a lot of sense.

Back in the days of the “dark room,” it was always Xiaocheng who tied her up and kissed her fiercely.

Could it be that the feeling of kissing might also help Xiaocheng recover her memories?

Before she could finish that thought, Jiang Nan continued, “The emotions she develops for you are the most important. If you want to ‘bend’ her, you have to make her think, ‘Even if it’s with a girl, it can feel really good and strange.'”

Su Tao immediately sat up straight. “Elaborate!”

“First, let me ask, do you two sleep together at night?”

“Sometimes.”

Jiang Nan: “Then when you’re sleeping together, if you’re holding her, try to find her ** ¹ It’s censored in the raws, but after some digging, I found that the original is “boobs.” . After all, accidental touches happen all the time when cuddling, right?”

Jiang Nan: “The more innocent the girl, the more effective this method is. Her body’s instinctive reactions can easily be mistaken as signs of affection for you.

“And that misunderstanding is the beginning of her gradually falling for you.”

Jiang Nan gave a knowing smile that girls would understand. “Well, you’re an adult, so I’m sure you get what I mean, right?”
