Peach-Orange! – Chapter 445 – Doubt

Behind several seemingly ambiguous pictures was a long analysis from the poster.

“Surely, folks seeing this will think we in the news department are blowing smoke again. Xiaocheng and Young Master Dongfang, which one isn’t the dream crush for our brothers and sisters? I don’t want to shatter this ideal either, but the facts are right before our eyes.”

“Everyone, don’t get anxious just yet. There is solid evidence.”

“As everyone knows, early on when Xiaocheng was being bullied and tricked by her roommate, she had confessed to Dongfang Yang, though it seems she was rejected.”

“This also shows that Chi Xiaocheng had feelings for Dongfang Yang early on.”

“And according to the information we’ve gathered, Dongfang Yang initially seemed to like Su Tao, but later became closer to Xiaocheng, often going out to play with her. Is there such a possibility?”

“That Dongfang Yang has liked Chi Xiaocheng all along? That he approached Su Tao actually to get closer to Chi Xiaocheng?”

“Another very important reason is, for normal boys and girls, if they aren’t interested in or don’t like the other person, things like today’s invitation at the girls’ dormitory simply wouldn’t happen multiple times!”

“Dongfang Yang waited for over an hour and was still waiting. He firmly believed Xiaocheng would come down. During this time, he watched the entrance like a monkey. Didn’t he consider the possibility of being rejected?”

“Precisely because of this, it shows their mutual affection!”

“Everyone only knows they go out to play together; perhaps they might have even pledged themselves to each other in private?”

“One is a handsome guy, the other is a cute girl. Who could refuse?”

At the end of the post, the original poster very firmly stated that those two definitely like each other!

And Su Tao read the entire post word for word.

Looking down at the comments, besides comments from those feeling betrayed and cursing the poster, there were also many words of blessing.

It made Su Tao furious.

Not caring that class was still in session, she shot to her feet with a “whoosh.”

The teacher was facing the large screen upfront and didn’t notice Su Tao, but all the other students looked over.

Seeing this, Jiang Nan quickly pulled Su Tao back into her chair, simultaneously lowering her voice, “What are you doing?!”

Su Tao narrowed her eyes. “Where is the news department? I want to go have a cup of tea with the person who posted this and chat about life and ideals.”

Jiang Nan hurriedly said, “Don’t be impulsive. They said it’s the news department. News needs sensationalism. Haven’t you been tricked by clickbait before?”

Jiang Nan’s words calmed Su Tao down a little, but only a little.

No matter what the relationship between Chi Xiaocheng and Dongfang Yang is, two points are absolutely solid.

First, Dongfang Yang likes Xiaocheng!

Second, they went out together today, and Xiaocheng didn’t report it to me!

Her mind kept revolving around these two points when Su Tao heard Jiang Nan’s voice again, “Regardless, you should first understand what happened. If you won’t ask Chi Xiaocheng, you can ask someone you know around her. What exactly is the situation?”

Hearing this, Su Tao immediately thought of Luo Ying.

Su Tao quickly took out her phone and sent a message to Luo Ying.

Peach: “Luo Ying, are you free? I want to ask you something. What exactly was the matter with Xiaocheng and Dongfang Yang going out together this morning?”

Sakura: “Uh… this morning? I do know a bit about that, but Xiaocheng told me not to tell you.”

Peach: “???”

‘Not tell me!’

‘Xiaocheng didn’t report to me, and then specifically told you to hide it from me!’

An indescribable feeling welled up in Su Tao’s heart, and she quickly pressed further, “Luo Ying, please tell me. We’re good friends too, right? You know Xiaocheng and I are together. I really need to know about this.”

Sakura: “But Xiaocheng is also my roommate. If I tell you just because you asked, wouldn’t that be stabbing her in the back?”

Reading this, Su Tao was frantic.

She initially thought Luo Ying was a good, reliable person.

But she didn’t expect her to be this kind of reliable.

‘This is a matter of our relationship! Even if you side with Xiaocheng, can’t you tell me a little bit!’

Su Tao bit her lip and continued typing, “Sister Luo Ying, I’ll call you sister, okay? Please tell me….”

Seeing this in class, Luo Ying couldn’t help but laugh.

Sakura: “Alright, alright, I can’t stand you. Remember to treat me to a meal next time.”

Peach: “Deal!”

Su Tao sat up a little straighter, focusing intently on the incoming chat messages.

Sakura: “Actually, it’s not a big deal. It’s just like what’s being said on the school forum now. Dongfang Yang waited for Chi Xiaocheng for over an hour, and then Xiaocheng, who had just woken up, hurriedly brushed her teeth and ran down again.

“I’m not clear on the specifics, but I did find out why they went out.”

Sitting in the classroom, a sly smile curled at the corner of Luo Ying’s lips. “To sum it up simply: Dongfang Yang wanted Chi Xiaocheng to pretend to be his girlfriend to deal with his family.”

Su Tao: “!!!”

Her fingers flew across the keyboard without stopping. “Wanted Xiaocheng to be his girlfriend?

“To deal with his family?

“Could it be that Dongfang Yang’s family is pressuring him to marry, so he’s using Xiaocheng as a shield?

“But Dongfang Yang couldn’t possibly not know. In a big family like his, even if he uses Xiaocheng as a shield, others will believe it.

“He’s deceiving the naive Xiaocheng. He thinks I won’t know what little schemes he’s harboring?

“Is there more? Is there more? Did Xiaocheng agree? She didn’t agree, did she?”

Jiang Nan, sitting next to her, covered her face. “Last time I told you to properly understand Xiaocheng’s sensitive spots, to first understand the pleasures of being a girl, but you wouldn’t listen. Now you’re anxious, right?”

Her words were a bit sharp, but Su Tao had no retort.

Since getting together with Chi Xiaocheng, she had become too complacent.

Xiaocheng regained her memories and emotions. If she liked her as before, she would never betray her. Why would she need to resort to any extreme actions?

But now….

She stared at the chat box with Luo Ying, not daring to breathe heavily.

No matter how you looked at it, Xiaocheng shouldn’t have agreed.

Although Xiaocheng is naive, she’s not stupid. Like when she stopped me from attending Ye Liang’s banquet before, she understands that once you get involved in these big family circles,

Even if it’s just acting,

Even if it’s fake,

Then in the eyes of those big family members, it will be mistaken.

Fake becomes real.

At that time, even if Chi Xiaocheng doesn’t want to continue pretending, the pressure from all around will force her to keep doing it.

The outcome goes without saying.

But thinking is one thing; Luo Ying’s statement that Chi Xiaocheng specifically instructed her to hide it from Su Tao made Su Tao feel uneasy again.

A few seconds of waiting felt like centuries.

With a “whoosh” sound, accompanied by a notification from WeChat, Luo Ying sent a new message.

Sakura: “Xiaocheng… agreed.”
