Peach-Orange! – Chapter 464 – Incorrect Information

Chi Xiaocheng had always felt that Luo Ying’s affinity with her was a bit too high.

After hundreds of cycles, Chi Xiaocheng had come into contact with a great many people. Not counting Su Tao, her white moonlight, whose affinity was top-tier in this world.

Aside from Su Tao, the person with the highest affinity Chi Xiaocheng had ever seen was Dongfang Yang.

Even this NPC, upon first meeting, didn’t inspire much fondness, just a sense that the other party was relatively harmless.

But Luo Ying was different. Chi Xiaocheng’s first impression upon meeting Luo Ying was that this person must be a good person.

If the World Will didn’t exist, then she probably would be a good person.

It was hard not to make one wonder, just what is Luo Ying’s identity?

The System also knew of Chi Xiaocheng’s doubts.

But it had no way to directly detect whether a person was related to the World Will.

[If the World Will has descended upon Luo Ying, then I might be able to detect it. Right now, it’s really hard to guess]

Chi Xiaocheng rubbed her chin. “Even if she’s not from the World Will, she’s probably related to that young lady, or, taking a step further back, related to that head maid. She induced me to say those things, probably intending to stir up trouble with Tao-Tao.”

[So host, what did you mean earlier?]

“I deliberately revealed it to her.”

A grin passed over Chi Xiaocheng’s lips.

Dongfang Yang did indeed have a banquet in a few days, but the protagonist wasn’t her, Chi Xiaocheng, it was Qian Qing!

It was a medium-sized banquet to establish Qian Qing’s identity before Dongfang Yang’s clansmen. Although held in Jiuzhou City, many people from the capital would attend.

“I speculate.”

Chi Xiaocheng slowly laid out her analysis.

“If Luo Ying really has a problem and wants to stir up trouble, she will definitely tell Tao-Tao about this. Then, in Tao-Tao’s eyes, I might become known as Dongfang Yang’s female companion.

“Thereby deepening the misunderstanding further!

“Hmph, but since I was the one who actively told her, can’t I predict her actions?”

Chi Xiaocheng said to the System, “When the time comes, I’ll invite Tao-Tao to go together, and let Tao-Tao see the entire process of Qian Qing and Dongfang Yang being together. Then, whether it’s the World Will’s or Luo Ying’s plans, they will all….”

Fall apart!

[Will it really go that smoothly?]

Even the System lacked confidence.

But in theory, if this set of actions succeeded, it really could resolve the misunderstanding.

Chi Xiaocheng lay on the bed, playing with her phone. “Relax, no problem.”

She had her own plans too, rather than being led by the nose by the hidden World Will all the time.

However, there was one more thing that needed confirmation.

“System, last time you said all the things you created using Emotion Points were taken over by the World Will. Does that mean my Emotion Points are completely useless from now on?”

If that were really the case, her greatest reliance would be gone.

[Host, rest assured, it was only that one time. Everything before that one time went out of control, but after that, I already built a firewall. The World Will can no longer forcibly interfere with us]

The Status Glasses, and that sachet, including the previous ones, were definitely ineffective now.

But the things Chi Xiaocheng bought later, such as the weakened version Substitute Death Straw Doll, were from after that incident, so their effects should still be there.

Getting a positive answer, Chi Xiaocheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

She had saved for a long time, and earned some Emotion Points from Luo Ying, and was now back above the 3000 mark.

But it wasn’t enough.

She had a vague feeling that when the World Will descended and began to affect Tao-Tao, that heaven-sent rich woman would probably show up soon.

And things seemed to be just as Chi Xiaocheng predicted.

That very night, Luo Ying found an excuse about working a part-time job to leave the dormitory and simultaneously asked Su Tao to meet.

The young lady originally had class.

She directly skipped this easy class, and then arranged to meet at the milk tea shop where Su Meimei worked.

It was still as deserted, with no one else there except for the girl drowsing behind the counter.

After ordering a free cup of cold boiled water, just like Su Tao, Luo Ying got straight to the point. “I obtained the latest information from Xiaocheng. Barring any accidents, she might really end up with Dongfang Yang.”

Su Tao seemed somewhat mentally prepared for this answer. Her gaze lowered, but the expression on her face didn’t change.

Only her hands under the table clenched tighter, her nails almost digging into her palms.

Su Tao took a deep breath. “Go ahead, I can take it.”

Luo Ying nodded. “First is her attitude regarding Dongfang Yang. I actually brought it up, hinting that her being so close to Dongfang Yang might make you, as her partner, unhappy, to probe her reaction.

“I thought Chi Xiaocheng would be more cautious. Who knew, she said she and Dongfang Yang are just ordinary friends. Instead, she said you doubting her because of this is your problem.”

Su Tao’s pupils constricted. “My… my problem? Did Xiaocheng really say that?”

“Mhmm.” Luo Ying quickly nodded. “I actually said that it’s wrong for her, as a girlfriend, to talk about you like that. Then she started going on about how it’s clearly you’re too possessive.

“Saying Dongfang Yang has helped her so much, and now that Dongfang Yang is in trouble, if she doesn’t go help, what kind of person would that make her?

“And that you, Su Tao, have also received so much help from Dongfang Yang, yet because of such a small matter you doubt her and try to stop it.”

Luo Ying spoke, even shrugging helplessly. “That’s roughly the idea. Feels like this conflict between you guys really isn’t something that can be easily explained.”

Su Tao’s face had long been as dark as water. She just waved her hand, signaling Luo Ying to continue. “Then what’s the evidence you mentioned, that Xiaocheng will most likely end up with Dongfang Yang?”

Luo Ying leaned back tactically. “Chi Xiaocheng said that in a few days, Dongfang Yang has a banquet, and she will also be attending this banquet. Presumably… you also understand what this banquet means, right?”

Su Tao pursed her lips and nodded lightly. “Xiaocheng, as Dongfang Yang’s fake girlfriend, then… attending the banquet venue.”

Wouldn’t that just confirm the betrayal?

Would she really betray me?

No.

Xiaocheng is a yandere!

It’s just that her past memories, her emotions, haven’t recovered from the day she woke up behind the sniper rifle.

Su Tao looked up, gazing at the light tube on the ceiling constantly emitting white light. The ripples spreading in her eyes were bewilderment.

“What, do you think I’m lying to you?” Luo Ying pushed a glass of water in front of Su Tao.

Su Tao snapped back to attention, her gaze moving from the ceiling to the face of the young lady before her.

Exquisite features framed a warm and trustworthy smile. Beneath the sparse bangs, even the simple, old-fashioned black-framed glasses couldn’t hide the sense of credibility emanating from those clear eyes.

Should she doubt these words?

After all, this is just one side of the story.
