Peach-Orange! – Chapter 396 – The Omnipresent Possessiveness

After leaving the restaurant, it was already 2:30 PM.

Having eaten her fill, Chi Xiaocheng felt a bit drowsy but forced herself to stay awake. She took Su Tao’s hand and said, “I’m a little sleepy, but how about we go do something exciting next?”

Su Tao raised an eyebrow and instinctively looked up at a screaming crowd in the sky.

The Super Vertical Roller Coaster.

One of the most terrifying attractions promoted by this amusement park, it was designed to rival the vertical roller coaster at Guangzhou Chimelong Paradise, with a peak height of 65 meters!

The near-90-degree accelerated vertical drop had become a thrilling nightmare for countless people.

It was a bit scary.

But how could she show weakness in front of Xiaocheng?

Su Tao’s expression was firm and serious. “I get it, Xiaocheng. You want to ride this roller coaster, right?”

Just then, another round of screams echoed from above.

Chi Xiaocheng’s lips twitched, and she broke into a cold sweat. “Tao-Tao, we just ate and haven’t even digested yet. Do you really think a ride that could fling our stomach contents out is appropriate right now?”

“Uh….”

Su Tao awkwardly rubbed her cheek. “You said something exciting, so this was the first thing that came to mind.”

She glanced around. Rides like the Giant Swing were definitely out of the question.

Bumper cars and the merry-go-round?

For college students, those were even more thrilling than a roller coaster.

Seeing Su Tao staring down at the amusement park map, Chi Xiaocheng sighed. “Alright, just follow me. We’ll walk there slowly to help digest. Don’t forget, Tao-Tao, this amusement park has three main selling points.”

The first was this terrifying vertical roller coaster.

The second was the Ferris wheel, advertised to reach a staggering 250 meters at its peak, where the clouds were said to be within reach.

The third was a massive underground escape room!

A super-sized horror-themed experience combining puzzles, thrills, and terror, this attraction required an additional fee, It was 300 to 600 yuan per person, depending on the scenario.

Since the amusement park had only recently opened, there weren’t many guides for the escape room yet. However, the promotion claimed that a single session would last 1-3 hours.

That alone spoke volumes about its intensity.

And Chi Xiaocheng’s target was precisely this underground mega escape room!

In such an environment, intelligence, physical ability, and teamwork were all indispensable.

She was the frail, delicate Xiaocheng; clumsy and in need of protection.

Inside the escape room, she could fully rely on Tao-Tao and revel in the feeling of being safeguarded.

Plus, in a place like that, Tao-Tao could showcase her “boyfriend”— no, “girlfriend”— no, her “masculine” protective energy.

It was a win-win situation.

Su Tao, of course, wouldn’t refuse Chi Xiaocheng’s suggestion. In fact, she was all for it.

In that tense atmosphere, she could heroically protect Xiaocheng and massively boost her favorability!

If they reached a critical moment, she might even be able to use the “suspension bridge effect” to attempt a confession.

Thinking this, Su Tao immediately pulled out her phone.

Even while walking, she kept glancing down, searching for escape room strategies.

There were many people along the way.

Some were even holding selfie sticks or accompanied by photographers. In this era where “influencers” were a dime a dozen, content creators and streamers were everywhere.

Chi Xiaocheng even noticed a few who seemed to be streamers subtly glancing at her and Su Tao, clearly hoping to leverage their looks to boost their livestream’s popularity.

No sooner had the thought crossed her mind than someone bold made a move.

A plainly dressed girl with glasses and a low ponytail approached, holding a selfie stick. However, she didn’t immediately shove the camera into Chi Xiaocheng’s face. Instead, she politely said:

“Excuse me, ladies. I’m a streamer, and we passed by each other earlier. I’m not sure if you remember. You two are so pretty! My audience said you look familiar and wanted to get to know you. Would that be okay?”

As she spoke, she pulled out two freebies she’d gotten earlier from her small bag. “Also, these are for you. Consider it a friendly gesture.”

You don’t slap a smiling face, especially when gifts are involved.

But Chi Xiaocheng didn’t respond. Instead, she tugged Su Tao’s sleeve.

The girl had already noticed the streamer approaching, her gaze slightly guarded. “Can I ask what you’re filming? Also, how many people are in your livestream?”

The low-ponytailed girl chuckled sheepishly, subtly adjusting her selfie stick.

She deliberately captured half of Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao’s profiles before answering, “I’m just a small streamer, barely 3,000 viewers. I won’t do anything weird, promise! Just stand with me on camera for a bit, and we can ask each other a couple of questions?”

This was indeed a common way for streamers to interact with strangers.

Unexpected reactions made for great unscripted content in outdoor livestreams, especially with beauties like Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao.

The moment their side profiles were intentionally captured, the livestream chat exploded.

However, Su Tao’s instincts were razor-sharp.

She immediately sensed the hidden meaning in the streamer’s words.

“Stand with me on camera,” not “stand together with Xiaocheng”!

If this girl wanted to appear side by side with Xiaocheng on that tiny camera, they’d have to stand extremely close, face-to-face!

Su Tao knew this world was full of girl-loving content creators. Some yuri-baiting streamers made a habit of cozying up to pretty girls in all sorts of situations.

Whether real or fake, it gave viewers emotional satisfaction.

Because of this, Su Tao flatly refused the moment the girl finished speaking. “Sorry, my sister and I have camera phobia. No appearances, thanks.”

Without another word, she pulled Chi Xiaocheng away.

Rejected so decisively, the low-ponytailed girl could only sigh. But from a distance, she overheard Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao’s conversation:

“Tao-Tao, why’d you say no? I thought it sounded fun.”

“There were so many people in that livestream! If someone as gorgeous as you shows your face, you’ll be remembered instantly. What if Chu Lingfeng targets you again?”

“Hmm~ Are you sure it’s not because you didn’t want me standing next to that streamer?”

“I’m just worried about your safety!”

Their exchange seemed to go beyond that of ordinary sisters.

The streamer glanced back at her chat and noticed that even after the two left, viewers were begging her to film their retreating figures while obsessively discussing their beauty.

She had some level of beauty filters enabled.

Ironically, when two naturally stunning girls entered the frame, those filters only detracted from their looks.

In just a few minutes, her chat had more activity than in half a day of streaming.

It left a bitter taste in her mouth.

But then, one particular comment caught her attention.
