Peach-Orange! – Chapter 394 – Really Has No Self-Awareness At All

Breakfast, grooming, putting out some cat food for the two cats so they wouldn’t have to scavenge outside, and then changing into casual clothes to go out.

Su Tao stood by the wardrobe, looking at the sets of clothes inside, and turned to ask, “Xiaocheng, the sun is quite strong outside, and it’s not too cold. How about wearing a hoodie?”

“Sure!”

Chi Xiaocheng, who was still teasing Xiao Ran with a ball of yarn, nodded. She was still wearing the same full-body plush pajamas she had on when she woke up in the morning, her petite figure hidden inside, looking adorable.

But it wasn’t suitable for going out.

As she spoke, Su Tao seemed to have already prepared the clothes: a peach-pink hoodie with a cute anime-style pouting little girl printed in the middle. The fabric felt average, but the thickness was just right for the weather.

Except….

Chi Xiaocheng looked up at Su Tao. “I don’t remember having this hoodie?”

Her only hoodie was one with an orange pattern, also in an orange hue.

Other than that, she had a pajama-style hoodie.

Su Tao smiled lightly. “I bought it new. It wasn’t expensive, but since it’s the New Year, it felt wrong not to add at least one new outfit.”

As she spoke, Su Tao took out another hoodie.

This one was sky-blue, identical in style to Chi Xiaocheng’s, but the anime character in the middle was a cool-looking, sunglasses-wearing girl with a high ponytail.

It looked like….

A couples’ outfit, dual-girl version.

Perhaps noticing Chi Xiaocheng’s slightly odd gaze, Su Tao kept her expression neutral. “If you buy two of these hoodies together, the second one is half off, so I got them both.”

Chi Xiaocheng blinked, her suspicion not fading. “But what about the money? Did Brother give you money again?”

With their father hospitalized, their brother’s money should have been sent to cover his medical expenses.

At this, Su Tao proudly lifted her nose. “I earned it from taking drawing commissions. If I work hard, I can finish one in three days. Each commission sells for about 100 yuan.”

In truth, to earn the money for these clothes, Su Tao had borrowed Xiaowei’s drawing tablet at school and in the dorm.

It took her a week… two commissions for 200 yuan.

Just enough to buy these two hoodies.

Of course, she had ulterior motives. She had bought them specifically because they were a couples’ set.

But with her acting skills now at their peak, Chi Xiaocheng didn’t notice anything amiss and even nodded in understanding.

This was Tao-Tao, after all.

How could this blockhead possibly think about the couples’ outfit angle?

Buying two together for a half-off discount was perfectly reasonable.

Still, it hadn’t even been two months since she started learning to draw, and she was already able to sell commissions for 100 yuan?

Talent was truly a terrifying thing.

Chi Xiaocheng took the hoodie and immediately stood up to take off her pajamas.

She turned her back to Su Tao, not particularly concerned about modesty.

In a few quick motions, she changed, then gathered her long hair behind her with both hands, shaking her head playfully.

The movements were cute, and her adorable figure was now hidden under the hoodie.

Su Tao stared blankly.

‘Xiaocheng really… has no self-awareness at all.’

Thinking this, Su Tao also changed her clothes, first putting on a long-sleeved shirt before pulling on the hoodie.

Her tall, curvaceous figure was on full display.

Chi Xiaocheng stared blankly.

‘Tao-Tao really… has no self-awareness at all.’

Perhaps noticing Chi Xiaocheng’s gaze, Su Tao paused mid-motion while pulling on the hoodie.

Coincidentally, she stopped just below the collarbone, right before pulling it down completely.

From the side angle, the compression made certain areas appear even more impressive.

Su Tao asked, “Xiaocheng, what’s wrong?”

Chi Xiaocheng snapped back to attention, smiling shyly. “Tao-Tao’s figure is amazing.”

“Thanks for the compliment.”

Su Tao wasn’t particularly embarrassed.

But she still glanced down at the scenery that obscured her view of her toes.

She really needed to manage her figure better.

After all, Xiaocheng liked it so much.

Each harboring their own little thoughts, the two finished putting on their couples’ outfits, and Chi Xiaocheng got ready to go out. “Should we bring King and Xiao Ran?”

“Why bring those third wheels? Let’s go.” Su Tao took her small hand and led her out the door.

Today’s outing could also be called a date.

The location and route had been decided by Chi Xiaocheng the night before.

So after leaving the neighborhood gate, Su Tao looked at the girl beside her.

“The amusement park!” Chi Xiaocheng mysteriously pulled two tickets from her pocket, grinning. “Last time, Dongfang Yang wanted to go with me and bought two tickets.

“But I wasn’t really in the mood to go then, so I turned him down.

“He gave me the tickets, saying they were super VIP internal passes with no expiration date. And with the ticket stubs, everything inside the park is free.

“Of course, that’s for food, drinks, and rides. You can’t use them to haul bricks or anything like that.”

Chi Xiaocheng chuckled, feeling a little embarrassed.

The important part was two words:

Free!

Right now, both of them were strapped for cash. Chi Xiaocheng realized she was eating fish and meat every day, with soup filled with meat at every meal. Su Tao never skimped on nutrition, knowing her body needed it.

The only thing missing was dragon meat for Chi Xiaocheng.

It was only when Chi Xiaocheng brought this up that Su Tao remembered Dongfang Yang’s invitation to the amusement park.

Using Dongfang Yang’s tickets for their date made Su Tao slightly unhappy.

Noticing the slight change in Su Tao’s expression, Chi Xiaocheng thought she was worried about misusing the tickets and quickly explained, “Don’t worry, Tao-Tao. Dongfang Yang knew I didn’t really want to go, so when he gave me the tickets, he said I should just go with you when I had time.”

Su Tao paused again. “Dongfang Yang said we should go together?”

Rеaԁ oո ΚatReαⅾіngСаfе

“Yeah, otherwise the tickets would just go to waste.”

Su Tao’s slight annoyance turned into something more complicated.

It was precisely because this tsundere robot was so upright that Su Tao found it hard to counter his pursuit of Chi Xiaocheng.

No matter how much force she mustered, it always felt like punching cotton.

That Dongfang Yang….

Whatever. Next time, she’d just beat up Si Chen a few more times. They were good friends anyway. Let Si Chen take the hits for Dongfang Yang.

Comforting herself with this thought, Su Tao also felt a flicker of anticipation.

A date, an amusement park, time for just the two of them, and a Ferris wheel!

Wasn’t all of this fate?

The last time she and Chi Xiaocheng had gone to an amusement park was in that vivid, real-seeming dream.

She had mustered all her courage, crossed the hurdle in her heart, and confessed her feelings.

But the Xiaocheng in the dream remained just that—a dream.

When the dream shattered, she hadn’t heard Su Tao’s confession.

Now, the chance to make up for it seemed within reach.

As they walked, Su Tao held Chi Xiaocheng’s small hand the entire way.

Unconsciously, her grip grew tighter.
