Peach-Orange! – Chapter 444 – A Wonderful Misunderstanding

Dongfang Yang’s eyes were sincere, and his voice lacked the usual frivolity he often put on to appear aloof.

Even with such a request, Chi Xiaocheng could sense Dongfang Yang’s pure intention; he genuinely wanted to resolve this matter, not have her pretend to be his girlfriend first and then create various mishaps to turn the fake into reality.

It’s just that she absolutely could not agree.

Chi Xiaocheng furrowed her brows tightly and asked again, “Even if you say that, Dongfang Yang, don’t you have any other, uh… other girls who could act this out for you? With your status, finding a skilled actress would be effortless, right?”

Dongfang Yang looked at Chi Xiaocheng as if she were an idiot. “Do you think my family wouldn’t investigate the background of some so-called actress? It has to be an acquaintance. Also, I’d find it very uncomfortable if I didn’t know the person well.”

Chi Xiaocheng sighed helplessly. “You’ve helped me so much, and although I want to help you in every way I can, Dongfang Yang, this is the one thing I cannot do.”

Chi Xiaocheng lowered her head a little.

It made sense. No matter what she needed, Dongfang Yang, despite being tsundere, never refused her.

Now, finally, there was a time when he seriously needed her help, but she couldn’t do it.

Even if it was just pretending to be his girlfriend.

It was a performance, a formality.

And it wasn’t just because Su Tao might blow up.

Chi Xiaocheng would never betray Su Tao under any circumstances.

Such a firm rejection also made Dongfang Yang sigh helplessly. “Alright, sorry for calling you out like this so early in the morning.”

To be honest, Dongfang Yang was still a bit disappointed.

The reason he went directly to Chi Xiaocheng was that he thought she liked him and would most likely agree.

Who knew she would refuse so clearly.

Chi Xiaocheng bit her lip, thought for a long time, then suddenly thought of someone. She turned and asked, “Dongfang Yang, as long as it’s someone you usually know, and their looks are passable, that’s enough?”

Dongfang Yang was stunned. “Too casual definitely won’t work, but there aren’t any strict requirements either. But among the female acquaintances I interact with, there are very few.”

A smile curled at the corner of Chi Xiaocheng’s lips. “I have a recommendation. Let me see if I can get her to come over.”

Dongfang Yang: “???”

’I myself don’t know any other candidates, but you do?’

‘Could it be Su Tao?’

After thinking about it, that was the only name that popped into Dongfang Yang’s head.

But Su Tao only sees me as a brother!

Ever since clarifying things with Su Tao last time, Dongfang Yang no longer had those strange feelings for her and purely regarded her as a younger sister and good friend.

In other words, Chi Xiaocheng plans to give this opportunity to Su Tao?

Dongfang Yang suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

He finally understood why Chi Xiaocheng looked down guiltily when she refused earlier. She lacked confidence, knowing she couldn’t be the lead in this performance, so she decided to let Su Tao help him instead!

‘Chi Xiaocheng… she actually thinks I like Su Tao, so she’s willingly stepping aside….’

‘Deep down, she still secretly likes me, doesn’t she?’

A man does not shed tears easily, only when his heart is truly touched.

Dongfang Yang felt his nose sting and looked seriously at the girl beside him. “Chi Xiaocheng, you really don’t need to beat around the bush. I think you’re great, I believe in you, so boost your confidence. This time, I choose you, and I won’t change my mind for anyone!”

Chi Xiaocheng: “…”

Has he started entering that inexplicable domineering CEO mode again?

Chi Xiaocheng looked speechless. “Don’t overthink it. If I agreed to help you, Tao-Tao would get angry. Anyway, leave this to me, I will definitely find someone to help you!”

‘So, does Chi Xiaocheng like me or not?’

Dongfang Yang thought to himself: Could it be that I, Dongfang Yang, wasn’t straightforward enough?

He scratched his head, hesitating to speak.

In the end, he didn’t say much more. He originally had a plan, but since Chi Xiaocheng refused like that, the content of that plan became irrelevant.

Bored, Dongfang Yang took Chi Xiaocheng for a drive, had a meal, and then drove her back to school.

It felt like just going out to play for three hours. Neither Chi Xiaocheng nor Dongfang Yang thought much of it.

But in some school gossip chats and forums, it had already caused an uproar.

The young master personally waited downstairs at the girls’ dormitory, standing under the sun for over an hour, still waiting.

And the person he was waiting for was none other than Chi Xiaocheng, who had just returned from leave!

Right after returning to school from leave, he immediately came to pick her up in his sports car. The two went out for a drive and had lunch at a high-end restaurant.

This time, there were pictures as proof!

Early on, there was a record of Chi Xiaocheng confessing to Dongfang Yang, and some time ago, there were even rumors that Dongfang Yang also liked Chi Xiaocheng.

What is this?

Mutual affection!

Both their looks are top-tier.

Apart from the significant height difference, they are a perfect match in every other way!

Such a hot post, trending rapidly, caught Su Tao’s attention even though she rarely browsed the forums.

At 2:30 PM, she was in class normally.

Today’s class was an easy elective; the teacher lectured, and the students did their own thing. Su Tao was working hard on her shabby notebook, drawing to earn money from commissions.

She had taken an order for an anime female avatar with a 24-hour quick turnaround and was rushing to color it when Jiang Nan, sitting next to her, poked her arm. “Su Tao, look at our class group chat. There’s some big gossip.”

Su Tao didn’t even stop her brush. “Gossip has nothing to do with me. There’s gossip at school every day. Didn’t they say yesterday an exchange student got into a fight with someone from our school? I took a look, turned out to be clickbait from the news club, wasted my time.”

Jiang Nan gave Su Tao a strange look. “But I think you should check out this piece of gossip. It might not involve you directly, but it involves your sister.”

“Huh?”

Hearing this, Su Tao’s coloring brush paused, and a large streak of color suddenly dragged across the screen.

After instinctively pressing Ctrl+Z, she took out her phone and saw the large title of a post forwarded in the group: “Is Dongfang Yang going to confess to Chi Xiaocheng? Are these two a couple?”

Rеαԁ oո КatRеаⅾinɡСαfе

Huh???

What kind of title is this?

Dongfang Yang is going to confess to Xiaocheng? Since when!

Su Tao’s index finger immediately stabbed at the link as if she wanted to pierce through the phone screen.

Then, she first saw the pictures taken by the onlookers.

Dongfang Yang leaning against his supercar, waiting under the sun.

The second picture showed Chi Xiaocheng standing at the dormitory entrance talking to Dongfang Yang. It seemed like her hair was messy, and Dongfang Yang even reached out as if to fix it for her.

That morning, Dongfang Yang of course did not touch Chi Xiaocheng.

But the beauty of news photography lies right here.

Dongfang Yang standing in front of Chi Xiaocheng reaching out, and coincidentally, the part showing his hand and Chi Xiaocheng’s head was blocked by someone else’s head in the photo.

This resulted in not being able to see clearly what they were actually doing.

From this misleading distant angle, it looked exactly like Dongfang Yang was patting Chi Xiaocheng’s head.

The third photo jumped directly to the two having lunch at a restaurant.

There were also fourth and fifth photos….
