Peach-Orange! – Chapter 441 – A Short Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

Facing Luo Shan’s smile, Su Tao couldn’t say much. After all, it was indeed because the dorm was empty that Chi Xiaocheng had come over to sleep here; it hadn’t been reported to the school authorities.

She gave Luo Shan a friendly smile, “Hello, I’m Su Tao. I’ve been on leave for these past two weeks.”

“I know, I know. We are roommates after all.” Luo Shan put her phone away. “Please take care of me from now on.”

Su Tao glanced sideways at Chi Xiaocheng again, then looked up and said, “By the way, Luo Shan, um… I wanted to ask, do you have any thoughts about changing dorms? Uh, I mean here….”

She felt a bit embarrassed to say it out loud. Just meeting her roommate and already wanting to drive her away, all because she wanted Chi Xiaocheng to keep living here.

Her words trailed off at the end.

Her somewhat awkward demeanor was reflected in Luo Shan’s eyes. The young girl said gently, “Alright, actually classmate Chen Qian already mentioned this matter to me. Sorry, but I still don’t really want to change dorms. This place is quite good.

“Classmate Chen Qian also told me about you wanting to protect your sister, but me… I’m not very good at communicating with people. It took me half a month to kind of settle in here, switching to a new environment again is just not preferable.”

“No, no, no, I was being abrupt.” Su Tao sighed inwardly.

Her home was also being renovated, so at least for this week, Xiaocheng had to stay in the dorm.

Forget it, wouldn’t it be fine if I moved to Xiaocheng’s dorm instead?

Su Tao soon went with Chi Xiaocheng to dorm room 513.

But upon entering, they were dumbfounded again.

Two unfamiliar girls were sitting together inside playing games, and there was another person they knew.

“Luo Ying?! What are you doing here?”

“Huh?” Luo Ying heard the voice and turned to look at the door. “So it’s you guys. I live in 513, shouldn’t it be normal for me to be here? Rather, what brings you here? Couldn’t bear to be apart from me?”

“Uh….”

Su Tao was momentarily speechless.

She looked at the layout inside the dorm and realized the beds here were also fully occupied with belongings.

Chen Qian was very understanding and attentive; when she helped Chi Xiaocheng move her luggage earlier, she had also helped Chi Xiaocheng set up her bedding.

And now, these three people inside.

Could they be….

Su Tao thought of the exchange students her tutor had mentioned.

Because dorm beds were in short supply, could it be that every vacant bed had been filled?

Just as Su Tao thought of this, one of the girls playing games inside looked towards the door, “Luo Ying, what’s going on?”

“Nothing, just my friends came to see me. You guys keep playing.” Luo Ying smiled in response, then turned back to look at Su Tao. “My two roommates, both game fanatics. Come in and have a seat.”

‘So, there’s no chance left for me to live in the same dorm as Xiaocheng!’

Su Tao quickly pulled Luo Ying aside and began speaking in a low whisper.

Luo Ying also let out a surprised sound, “Wait a moment, you said Xiaocheng lives in this dorm?”

So the roommate who hadn’t come for half a month was actually Chi Xiaocheng!

“So, Luo Ying, how about we switch dorms? I want to be with Xiaocheng.”

“That definitely won’t work. Probably because we are exchange students, an auntie comes every day to check our names, probably to ensure our safety.

“Even if you beg me, it’s no use. And if you want to be with Xiaocheng, just have her sneak into your bed, isn’t that fine? Anyway, two people can squeeze together and sleep.”

“This….!”

Hearing this, Su Tao immediately regained her clarity.

She turned around, stroking her chin.

Suddenly, Luo Ying’s words seemed to make sense.

Like a little devil in her heart, Luo Ying seemed to guess Su Tao’s thoughts. She lowered her head and leaned close to Su Tao’s ear, “Su Tao, you must have thought of that kind of scene, that’s why you stopped talking abruptly, right?”

“!”

Su Tao turned around and looked at Luo Ying in horror.

This sister, who wore glasses and had a gentle personality like the girl next door, revealed a mischievous smile.

“Can you imagine that scene? Because she hasn’t been able to sleep holding you for a few days, Chi Xiaocheng becomes more and more unaccustomed to it, even unable to sleep at night. At that time, she would shyly come to your dorm and suggest wanting to sleep with you for one night.

“Her expression shy, embarrassed but full of longing due to lacking warmth, then holding you tighter, liking you even more. Even the next day when you want to get up for class, she cries, not wanting you to leave….”

Luo Ying placed one hand on Su Tao’s shoulder, brushing aside the strand of hair that slightly covered her ear, her voice enticing, “Miss Su Tao, a short absence makes the heart grow fonder~”

Su Tao looked sideways at Chi Xiaocheng, who had run over to the two girls playing games and seemed to be trying to make friends, and swallowed hard.

Hearing Luo Ying say this, it indeed seemed more appealing than sleeping together with Xiaocheng every night.

Moreover, even if they were to sleep holding each other, the small dorm bed definitely couldn’t compare to the big bed at home.

To prevent sticking to the wall or bumping into the guardrail and falling off, they would even have to hold each other tighter to avoid problems.

Just thinking about it, the feeling was completely different!

Luo Ying smiled slyly, “Doesn’t it sound great?”

Su Tao cleared her throat lightly, “Ahem! Not enough beds, and we can’t trouble those other students. Indeed, this is the only way for now.

“But Luo Ying, you have to help me keep an eye on Xiaocheng. She’s naive, too easily fooled. What if someone with ill intentions approaches….”

“You trust me that much?”

“Although we just met, based on my perception, I think you are the trustworthy type.”

Hearing this, Luo Ying smiled very happily, “Then thank you for your trust. Don’t worry, I will definitely help you look after little Xiaocheng.”

At that moment, Chi Xiaocheng, who had been watching the two girls play games, came over, “Tao-Tao, the game they’re playing seems quite interesting, eh? Let’s play together next time.”

Su Tao put one hand on her hip and the other helplessly on Chi Xiaocheng’s head, “Our laptop can’t handle any games. Let’s wait until we earn money and buy a new computer.”

“Okay.” Chi Xiaocheng was a bit disappointed. “So we still can’t change dorms, right?”

“Would Xiaocheng be unable to sleep if I’m not by your pillow?”

“Maybe?” Chi Xiaocheng touched her chin, then smiled radiantly, “Well, if I can’t sleep, I’ll just go sleep with you, Tao-Tao. Squeezing together is fine too.”

‘And it’s only for a week or so, right?’

Looking at the pure smile on the girl in front of her, Su Tao felt truly warm in her heart.

Chu Lingfeng was already dead.

If only that damned head maid hadn’t existed.

Then they could have lived that peaceful yet romantic campus life.

That kind of life shouldn’t be too far away, right?

Naturally, Su Tao thought this way, but what she didn’t know was that the very next day, the future she hoped for would be shattered.
