Peach-Orange! – Chapter 376 – Dongfang Yang, I’ll Kill You!

Su Tao knew that Chi Xiaocheng often went out to play with Dongfang Yang.

Today, she deliberately didn’t go straight to school, wanting to see what the two usually talked about and played together, whether it was “sibling” topics or… another kind of topic.

Now, it seemed absolutely like the latter.

Xiaocheng even praised Dongfang Yang for being handsome!

She actually praised him for being handsome!

‘Even though I’ve dressed up carefully in front of her, Xiaocheng has never once praised me as “pretty”!’

‘Not once!’

Her resentful gaze seemed to travel through the air and land on Dongfang Yang. From afar, the latter rubbed his neck and looked around.

Chi Xiaocheng asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, just felt a sudden chill on my neck. Maybe a breeze just blew by.” Dongfang Yang waved it off casually and then asked, “What about Su Tao? Isn’t she coming out with us?”

Chi Xiaocheng sighed helplessly. “Tao-Tao still has classes. She’s pretty career-driven, and I don’t want to disturb her.”

Dongfang Yang also showed a helpless expression. “Well, that can’t be helped. If she’s not here, I’ll keep you company if you feel bored.”

His indifferent words reached Su Tao’s ears again.

It made her grit her teeth in anger.

‘What do you mean, “if she’s not here, I’ll keep you company”?’

‘Dongfang Yang, you must be secretly thrilled to go out with Xiaocheng, right?!’

‘And you deliberately brought me up in front of Xiaocheng just to belittle me and make yourself look better, didn’t you?!’

‘You’re scheming!’

But no matter how angry she was, she wouldn’t just rush out now.

Reason kept suppressing her impulses.

If she exposed herself now, it would seriously lower her standing in Xiaocheng’s eyes.

She didn’t want to ruin the image she currently had in Chi Xiaocheng’s heart.

She still wanted to sleep with Chi Xiaocheng at night.

And maybe sneak a kiss or two.

But just because she didn’t act didn’t mean the two over there would stay put forever.

Dongfang Yang had already suggested places to take Chi Xiaocheng and was asking for her opinion. “Chi Xiaocheng, is there anywhere you’d like to go? Like a haunted house or an escape room? Are you scared of those?”

Su Tao’s lips parted slightly: ‘What? Dongfang Yang, this guy actually wants to take Xiaocheng to places like that to create alone time? Trying to use the suspension bridge effect to win her over? Shameless!’

Chi Xiaocheng shook her head. “Let’s skip those. I don’t really like creepy places.”

Dongfang Yang tried again. “How about an aquarium? Just for fun?”

Su Tao’s eyes widened: ‘An aquarium? A prime dating spot! I’ve never even been there with Xiaocheng! Dongfang Yang, have you no shame?!’

Chi Xiaocheng hesitated. “Maybe not the aquarium either. That kind of alone time could easily be misunderstood.”

Dongfang Yang rubbed his chin. “My family just opened a water park with a big artificial beach. Want to go there? Guaranteed fun.”

Su Tao was stunned: ‘You just want to see Xiaocheng in a swimsuit, don’t you?! Dongfang Yang, I’ll kill you!!!’

Before Su Tao could jump out, she heard Chi Xiaocheng say, “It’s not even summer yet. The water’s still too cold. Let’s skip the water park.”

The knife she had just drawn was quietly put away again.

‘Xiaocheng still understands me. She knows she should be with me.’

Dongfang Yang sighed and opened the car door. “Now I get why girls are so picky. Get in first. Let’s just drive around and think about it.”

Chi Xiaocheng smiled apologetically.

The places Dongfang Yang suggested were actually great.

But….

‘My heart belongs to Tao-Tao.’

‘How could I go on a date with you? If I go, it’ll be with Tao-Tao later.’

But escape rooms are a no-go. Chi Xiaocheng was afraid Su Tao might get startled and punch a staff member playing a ghost into oblivion.

However, when Chi Xiaocheng got into Dongfang Yang’s car and drove off, Su Tao was left dumbfounded.

‘Where are you going? At least tell me!’

‘And Xiaocheng, why did you just get into Dongfang Yang’s car so easily?!’

Su Tao quickly ran to the roadside and flagged down a taxi, shouting as soon as she got in, “Driver, follow that red supercar!”

The veteran driver of 30 years looked up at the supercar, now just taillights in the distance, then down at his 20-year-old jalopy, and froze.

“Miss, maybe you should switch to an AE86 or a Wuling Hongguang for this chase?”

But Su Tao, red-eyed, pleaded urgently, “Hurry, driver! My girlfriend’s running off with another man!”

The driver’s face first registered shock, then hardened with determination. “Miss, hold on tight!”

Today, he’d risk it all for a fellow romantic!

But after chasing for a while, the rattling taxi still couldn’t catch up to Dongfang Yang’s supercar.

Su Tao could only pray that Dongfang Yang really was just taking Chi Xiaocheng for a drive.

But the resentment on her face grew deeper.

Si Chen had already betrayed her.

Now Dongfang Yang was another thieving cat!

The worst part was, Su Tao couldn’t even blame this sunny boy. Back at the hospital, he’d made a promise: until Chi Xiaocheng regained her memories, he wouldn’t actively pursue her.

He’d given Su Tao every chance.

And Dongfang Yang had kept his word.

Now, though, Dongfang Wen’s hypnosis had long ended. Chi Xiaocheng’s memories had returned (even if her emotions hadn’t), so their agreement had expired.

This boy pursuing Xiaocheng? That was just fair competition.

Su Tao wanted to do something, but she was terrified of upsetting Chi Xiaocheng and ruining what they had now.

“They’re all wrong!”

Back at school, Su Tao’s pen dug heavily into her textbook, slicing through several pages.

A fast learner, she’d already gotten decent at drawing. In moments, she’d sketched a tiny Si Chen in the corner of her textbook.

Then she stabbed the little Si Chen over and over.

Next came a tiny Dongfang Yang, whom she drew upside-down, buried in manure.

Finally, she drew a little Chi Xiaocheng.

Su Tao couldn’t bear to hurt her.

But unconsciously, she began sketching shackles around her.

As if this way, Chi Xiaocheng would never leave her.

The scratching of her pen was harsh, drawing glances from Chen Qian beside her.

But Chen Qian was Team Xiaocheng. After a brief look, she said nothing.

That night, when Su Tao returned home, she found Chi Xiaocheng sitting obediently on the couch, watching TV and waiting for her.

Like a dutiful little wife welcoming her hardworking husband home.

“Tao-Tao, you’re back.”

Chi Xiaocheng smiled, her feet in fluffy slippers, as she thoughtfully poured Su Tao a cup of warm water.

Su Tao took the cup and patted Chi Xiaocheng’s head. “What did you do today, Xiaocheng? Did you feel bored without me? Did you go out?”

“Not really. I stayed home and tried writing a novel. Too lazy to go out.”

Chi Xiaocheng told a little white lie. She didn’t want Su Tao, tired from a day of classes, to come home and stress over her going out to farm emotional points from Dongfang Yang.

Little did she know, misunderstandings often start with well-intentioned lies.

Su Tao nodded, not calling her out.

But the hand patting Chi Xiaocheng’s head grew even gentler.
