Peach-Orange! – Chapter 439 – Yuri Knight!

Unfortunately, without the status glasses, there was no way to check Tao-Tao’s current stats.

Su Tao was naturally talkative, and Luo Ying happened to be the same. The two chatted as they walked, much like how Chi Xiaocheng had felt earlier. Su Tao also thought this person named Luo Ying was quite nice.

Conversing with her felt like a gentle spring breeze. She was very accommodating, following Su Tao’s topics seamlessly. They started with the surroundings of the school and eventually drifted to how adorable Chi Xiaocheng was.

She praised Xiaocheng for being cute and didn’t seem to have any ulterior motives toward her.

A good person.

The last time Su Tao had felt this comfortable chatting was with Chengcheng, an online confidant who had since become her closest friend.

Though there had been suspicions that Chengcheng might actually be Xiaocheng, now that she was already with Xiaocheng, she chatted with Chengcheng less often. That strange thought from before must have just been a misunderstanding, right?

Led by Luo Ying, who treated them to a meal, the three soon arrived at a lamb noodle shop. It was crowded during mealtime, but fortunately, there were still seats available on the second floor.

Luo Ying sat down first.

Then she watched as Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng sat together across from her.

Su Tao very naturally pulled two tissues from the dispenser, first wiping the area in front of Chi Xiaocheng’s seat, then her own.

Next, she scanned the QR code to order.

Without even asking Chi Xiaocheng what she wanted, she ordered two portions, then turned her gaze to Luo Ying. “What would you like, Luo Ying?”

“I’ll pay after ordering. I said I’d treat you, after all.” Luo Ying also took out her phone to scan the code, then gave them a meaningful look. “But… why do I feel like there’s something odd between you two?”

“Odd?”

Chi Xiaocheng was the first to voice her confusion, while Su Tao replied calmly, “There’s nothing odd.”

“Oh, but there is.” Luo Ying smirked, her tone suggestive. “The moment you sat down, Su Tao, you wiped the table for Xiaocheng without even asking what she wanted to eat. And then there’s the way you two leaned toward each other after sitting down.

“You’re not going to tell me your butts are bigger than the chairs and you feel squeezed, right?”

Luo Ying seemed somewhat suspicious of their relationship.

However, Su Tao, who had long been through this before, remained utterly composed. “You’re overthinking it. Xiaocheng is clumsy. If the table isn’t clean, she’ll probably stain her clothes again.”

Luo Ying: “And then you’ll have no choice but to wash them for her?”

“Uh… stop interrupting. As for the ordering, we’ve been here many times and already know each other’s usual orders.”

Su Tao actually wanted to just say they were a couple outright.

But since they were at school, if such a relationship got out, she wouldn’t care much, but it would definitely have a negative impact on Chi Xiaocheng.

At worst, they might face cold treatment.

After all, not everyone could accept relationships that defied societal norms.

Two girls and all that.

Those who liked such things were a tiny minority.

Su Tao even felt she was a bit strange herself. Normally, if she met a girl who got along well with Xiaocheng and was also exceptionally good-looking, she’d be eager to assert her dominance.

But now, she didn’t have that impulse.

Was it because this girl seemed harmless?

What a peculiar feeling.

However, her words didn’t fool Luo Ying, whose eyes gleamed as she suddenly bent down under the table. “Sneak attack!”

Her gaze pierced through the underside of the table, catching sight of the two sitting almost glued together, their hands intertwined in a tight clasp.

Luo Ying abruptly straightened up, tucking the hair that had fallen forward behind her ear, and flashed a knowing smile. “Really, nothing else going on? I saw it, you know.”

Su Tao’s face reddened. “It’s just holding hands. For girls, that’s normal, right?”

“Since when do girls hold hands with fingers laced like that?”

Luo Ying slapped both hands on the table, leaning forward. “You two… could it be you’re already together?”

Chi Xiaocheng raised an eyebrow, while Su Tao sucked in a quiet breath.

Was it really that obvious?

Could people tell at a glance?

Since they’d been found out, Su Tao dropped the act. Pressing a hand down to signal Luo Ying to calm down, she admitted in a low voice, “Fine, as you guessed, Xiaocheng and I do have an unusual relationship. We’ve been together for a while now.”

Saying this, the last trace of hostility in Su Tao’s heart completely vanished.

Her impression of Luo Ying was quite good.

Now that the other girl knew she and Xiaocheng were a couple, surely she wouldn’t try to pursue Xiaocheng and steal her away, right?

Moreover, Luo Ying seemed more like the type who was simply interested in their relationship.

Just as Su Tao had guessed, Luo Ying was a yuri knight. Her face lit up with visible excitement, and she pumped her fist lightly like a victor. “I knew there was something off about you two! Now it all makes sense!”

Su Tao blinked. “Luo Ying… you don’t find our relationship strange?”

“I’ve seen plenty of couples like you in Shanghai. So, how long have you two been together?”

“Uh….”

Su Tao glanced at Chi Xiaocheng, as if seeking her input, only to find the girl had already buried her head like an ostrich, seemingly too shy to answer.

Luo Ying grinned. “Xiaocheng’s shy face is so cute~ Su Tao, you tell me.”

Su Tao wore a nostalgic yet blissful smile. “A little over a month now. We went through a lot before, and though it was tough, we still ended up together.”

She sighed softly, tightening her grip on Chi Xiaocheng’s hand slightly.

Soon, she felt a little finger lightly scratch her palm.

It was a response from the girl beside her.

Her index finger twitched, trying to hook onto that little finger, but the other shyly pulled away.

When Su Tao glanced sideways, Chi Xiaocheng happened to look up at the same time. The two exchanged a smile.

The scene before her made Luo Ying unconsciously break into a doting grin.

So beautiful, wasn’t it?

Her gaze lingered more on the shy Chi Xiaocheng, and she couldn’t help but sigh. “How wonderful. If only I had someone as adorable as Xiaocheng.”

Su Tao smiled back. “You’re very pretty too, Luo Ying. If you approached younger girls, just your comfortable aura alone would win them over.”

“Eh~” Luo Ying drew out the syllable suggestively. “Sounds like you know a lot, Su Tao~”

“Cough, cough, cough!”

She had just gotten carried away upon meeting someone who also seemed to like girls.

Seeing the conversation veering into dangerous territory, Su Tao hurriedly said, “How about we change the topic? Let’s talk about something else.”

“Sure.”

Luo Ying leaned in closer, hands outstretched. “So, since you’re together… have you done that?”

“That?”

Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng voiced their confusion in unison.

Only to see Luo Ying’s eyes and smile grow even more suggestive.
