Peach-Orange! – Chapter 375 – Xiaocheng’s Cuteness Belongs to Me

Just like Su Tao’s usual behavior.

Last semester, she failed four subjects. She was busy, attending classes every day, sometimes without rest even at night.

This fulfilling life, combined with their constant chatting on WeChat or QQ, made Chi Xiaocheng, unaware of Su Tao’s acting skills, instinctively believe:

Su Tao was under a bit of pressure, eager to possess her more, yet still relatively normal.

She had a tendency toward obsession.

But she definitely hadn’t become a yandere.

And she still liked her very much, unwilling to let go.

This was Chi Xiaocheng’s most direct impression of Su Tao, as well as her happiness and satisfaction with Su Tao’s changes.

The “heaven-sent” rich girl was about to make her entrance. Chu Lingfeng had already gone to the capital and would soon return to Jiuzhou City with someone. Chi Xiaocheng cared more about emotional points now. Even if she believed her concern for Su Tao hadn’t diminished, she was always by the girl’s side during her free time.

But what about from Su Tao’s perspective?

Chi Xiaocheng, who wasn’t a yandere and only saw her as a sister in terms of emotions, had an overly rich daily life.

Going on outings with Si Chen and Dongfang Yang.

Receiving confessions from many boys.

Occasionally, even some NPCs Su Tao didn’t recognize at all could exchange a few words with Chi Xiaocheng.

She didn’t know Chi Xiaocheng was collecting emotional points, waiting for the arrival of the “heaven-sent” side character so she could better protect Su Tao.

All Su Tao saw was that the little one who had once adored her so much was drifting further and further away.

Her mood grew increasingly anxious.

And her acting deepened accordingly.

On Wednesday, Su Tao finally had no morning classes and stayed home to rest with Chi Xiaocheng.

At home, Chi Xiaocheng was very well-behaved.

Which Su Tao loved.

In the early morning, rising from the blankets, she could see the girl’s drowsy, half-awake expression. She would instinctively lick her lips and raise both hands high.

Having lived with Chi Xiaocheng for so long, Su Tao naturally understood the signals she was giving off.

It was time to change her pajamas.

But if she ignored her for too long, another scene would unfold.

Chi Xiaocheng would kneel on the bed in a “seiza” pose, arms raised until they grew tired. When she opened her eyes and saw Su Tao hadn’t moved, she would tilt her head forward slightly, pouting at the culprit who refused to help her get dressed. One small fist would clench, as if threatening to punch her in anger.

At this point, all Su Tao had to do was grab a long-sleeved loungewear set, walk over to the little one, and give her a hug. Instantly, the girl’s face would light up with a triumphant, adorable expression.

Gently removing her sleepwear, then dressing her in fresh clothes.

When her fingertips accidentally brushed against the girl’s ribs or slender waist, she could clearly feel the little one’s body shiver slightly.

It was unbearably cute, carrying an indescribable coquettishness that made it impossible not to lose oneself in these mundane, everyday moments.

Next, like a servant, she would lead Chi Xiaocheng to the bathroom sink.

“Xiaocheng, do you want to brush your teeth yourself, or should I help you?”

“I’ll do it myself.”

Occasionally, the little one wouldn’t feel like moving, and Su Tao was happy to serve her. It gave her the feeling of caring for her own little kitten.

Of course, King and Xiao Ran didn’t count. Those two weren’t as cute as Xiaocheng; they could just scavenge for scraps to eat.

While Chi Xiaocheng brushed her teeth, Su Tao would pick up a comb and gather her silky hair, smoothing out the bedhead tangles.

Breakfast was leisurely, because Chi Xiaocheng would praise her cooking as delicious.

And after breakfast, if they weren’t going out, they would choose between the sofa and the bedroom.

Not to do anything strange, of course, but to simply enjoy each other’s company, savoring the quiet ordinariness and warmth.

Just like now, Chi Xiaocheng leaned against Su Tao’s chest while scrolling through her phone, while Su Tao stroked her head and admired the little one’s adorable face.

Every now and then, she would pinch those soft cheeks, reveling in the pleasant, plush texture.

Even if they did nothing at all during this time, it never felt boring.

The comfort and healing slowly washed away the stress accumulated from a week at school.

The word “happiness” seemed to fill the entire room.

Until noon, when they ate lunch, bringing the unhurried morning to an end.

In the afternoon, Su Tao had classes. Normally, even if she was reluctant, she would still head to school cheerfully.

Because the morning’s warmth gave her the energy to power through the afternoon, looking forward to the moment classes ended, when she could hold the little one in her arms again at night. Was there anything more worth anticipating?

And if an “accident” ever happened, she might even get to bathe with Xiaocheng.

Letting her wretched heart indulge in some secret satisfaction.

But now, things had changed.

In the afternoon, as the clock neared two, Su Tao had no choice but to leave for class. She changed her clothes and shoes, then waved goodbye to Chi Xiaocheng.

“Xiaocheng, I’m off to class now. I have evening classes too, so you might have to handle dinner on your own.”

“Mhm, mhm! Be careful on your way, Tao-Tao. Don’t worry about me. I’m much healthier than before.”

Chi Xiaocheng still wore that sweet, endearing smile.

That smile brought Su Tao joy.

It also made her wonder, if Xiaocheng, whose emotions hadn’t fully recovered, might actually like her a little? After all, she never refused when Su Tao occasionally stole a kiss on her cheek.

But such thoughts usually flashed by in an instant.

She left the apartment, but after exiting the residential complex, she didn’t head straight to school.

Instead, she found an unnoticed corner and waited leisurely.

Less than half an hour later, a fiery red sports car appeared.

And less than five minutes after that, Chi Xiaocheng, now wearing an adorable orange hoodie, walked out of the complex.

“Good afternoon, Young Master Dongfang~ Thanks again for picking me up!”

Reаd oո КαtReαⅾingСafе

Chi Xiaocheng greeted him with a smile, her voice just loud enough to reach Su Tao’s ears.

Dongfang Yang had been waiting by the car. He tossed his stylish red hair. “It’s nothing. I was just bored today, so I figured I’d take you out for fun.”

Chi Xiaocheng narrowed her eyes and grinned. “Did you just get your hair done? This look is really handsome.”

Dongfang Yang laughed even more happily at that. “I’ve always been this handsome, okay? If you think flattering me will make me happy, you’re dead wrong. Today, I’m going for a cool, aloof image.”

[Supporting character Dongfang Yang is happy due to the host’s praise. Emotional Points +14…]

Chi Xiaocheng didn’t care about what Dongfang Yang said, but she loved the system’s notification.

Yes, Si Chen didn’t yield many emotional points.

But this NPC-like Dongfang Yang was like a daily quest: praise him a bit, let him laugh a few times, and he reliably generated around 200 emotional points.

It wasn’t a lot, but for Chi Xiaocheng right now, it was a stable source of income.

Since Dongfang Yang was happy, she was happy too.

But someone hiding in the corner wasn’t happy.

A hand gripped the edge of the wall.

Her eyes flickered between brown and red, over and over.

Finally, Su Tao gritted her teeth and spat out two words at Dongfang Yang:

“Homewrecker bastard!”
