Peach-Orange! – Chapter 465 – Sinking Deeper

Su Tao actually knew clearly.

What Luo Ying said was actually just words passed from Luo Ying’s mouth.

How exactly did Xiaocheng say it? What were her thoughts? Did she really betray her?

Apart from some of the things she had seen, she hadn’t had an in-depth conversation with Chi Xiaocheng about these matters.

There was still a possibility of misunderstanding inside.

But….

As Luo Ying spoke these words,

“Do you think I’m lying to you?”

Su Tao only felt as if a voice sounded from the depths of her heart.

‘She isn’t lying to me.’

‘Yes, someone as good as Luo Ying, why would she lie to me?’

‘Besides, I was the one who asked her to gather information. Now she has brought the information, yet I suspect her?’

‘Luo Ying gains nothing from lying to me. This is a matter between me and Xiaocheng. There’s no benefit for her to lie to me, so there’s naturally no motive.’

‘Since that’s the case, why not believe her?’

‘Just believe her.’

Su Tao placed her hands on the table, lowered her head, and sighed, “Of course I believe you, we are friends after all.”

Influence is subtle.

Trusting someone at first sight is difficult.

But when that person has deeply entered your life, learned your secrets, helped you, collaborated with you, and stands on the same front as you.

And at this moment, you are alone, helpless, and in despair. Who else can you believe besides the person beside you?

Luo Ying’s smile became increasingly warm and friendly. “Well, Su Tao, don’t think so pessimistically. What if there’s still a glimmer of hope? Will you attend that banquet then?”

“I… I will definitely go!” Su Tao replied. “I definitely can’t let Xiaocheng attend the banquet with Dongfang Yang alone just like that!”

“That’s right.” Luo Ying said. “Don’t think so pessimistically. Maybe everything is just a misunderstanding. When you go to the banquet, you might not see Chi Xiaocheng and Dongfang Yang together.

“Maybe Chi Xiaocheng really found someone to pretend to be Dongfang Yang’s girlfriend, and then that fake girlfriend will attend the banquet with Dongfang Yang. She, Chi Xiaocheng, is just an ordinary person staying out of it.”

Luo Ying spoke very flatly, as if she herself didn’t hold out such hope.

And this was precisely the guidance of the topic.

Gradually influenced, Su Tao’s originally relaxed fist clenched tightly again upon hearing this. “Where is there still such a so-called possibility!”

Luo Ying: “Uh… Isn’t it bad to be so absolute?”

Su Tao snorted coldly. “Even if there is, isn’t it just another act put on by Xiaocheng to take care of my feelings, take care of my so-called illness, and then continue pretending to like me!”

She doesn’t need to show her face in front of Dongfang Yang’s relatives.

And she can still be with Dongfang Yang.

She can also conveniently gloss over things.

Heh, the thinking is really perfect.

Su Tao certainly knew, just like she knew that Chi Xiaocheng had mild schizophrenia before.

Because of the amnesia, Dongfang Yang also acted out a play with Chi Xiaocheng, believing that Su Tao actually had some mental issues too.

In reality, she was perfectly fine!

“Then what next? What should we do?”

Luo Ying took a sip of water and watched Su Tao quietly.

What should we do?

What should we do?

What should we do?

Su Tao covered her head with her hands. The first thing that popped into her mind was actually the three suggestions given by that state glasses.

‘But how could I hurt Xiaocheng!’

‘Absolutely must not hurt Xiaocheng. She just lost her memory. Everything should still have a chance to be saved.’

‘Even if she recovers her memory, will she like Dongfang Yang because of the fusion of memories from both sides?’

‘This possibility absolutely does not exist!’

‘Even if I capture her and keep her locked by my side, will we still become enemies because of long-standing annoyance?’

‘But what other way is there!’

In her mind, it was as if two people were fighting a fierce battle.

Su Tao’s eyes gradually became empty again.

“Kill Xiaocheng, keep her by my side forever, then we can be together forever, right?”

Unconsciously, she murmured these words from her lips.

And when these words were uttered, instantly Su Tao felt her whole body turn cold, as if falling into an ice cellar.

Her originally somewhat fuzzy thinking instantly cleared.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Luo Ying frowning as if somewhat displeased.

Su Tao held her aching head, shook it hard, and felt a little dizzy before her eyes. “Sorry… I seemed to space out just now. Where were we?”

Luo Ying put on a smile. “We were talking about the banquet. What about my suggestion just now? Things might not be so absolute. When you go to the banquet, how about you confess everything frankly to Chi Xiaocheng?”

“Frankly confess….”

Su Tao drank the remaining half glass of ice water in front of her and propped up her head. “Will that really work?”

“But there’s no other way, right?” Luo Ying, really like a caring big sister next door, offered a solution. “Whether this is a misunderstanding or not, you have to face it eventually. Your complexion is very poor now. Constant internal turmoil is not a good thing.”

She said casually, “If this is a misunderstanding, explain it quickly. You will still be a couple, and your life will continue to be sweet.

“Moreover, because you overcame this difficulty together, your relationship will become even closer and more intimate.”

Seemingly drawn by the words painting a beautiful fantasy, a glimmer of hopeful light also appeared in Su Tao’s eyes.

But the next second, she heard Luo Ying continue, “If she really betrayed you and fell for Dongfang Yang, you can just break up with her directly. Cutting it off decisively won’t let you continue sinking deeper into this internal turmoil, right?”

That kind smile seemed to treat these two choices as equally unimportant.

Is that step forward a path to life or death?

Su Tao also lowered her head and thought for a long time. “Luo Ying, I’ll listen to you. At the banquet in a few days, I’ll go and make things clear with Xiaocheng directly.”

“But….” Su Tao’s words changed, and she took a breath. Her eyes once again firmly raised a trace of light. “I still choose to believe in Xiaocheng!

“I believe she won’t lie to me!”

Those glasses could be fake.

What Luo Ying said could also be a misunderstanding.

Even what she saw before might not all be true.

Even though deep down she felt that these were probably all true, and the possibility of a misunderstanding was extremely small.

But….

‘But Xiaocheng, she, she hasn’t personally said that she doesn’t like me!’

Even if hope is slim, one should still hold onto belief.

Su Tao stood up. Her clenched fists suddenly relaxed. She hid all her negative emotions, and the smile hanging on her lips was still that moonlight-like smile. “Thank you, Luo Ying. You’ve been a great help.”

Luo Ying drew a circle on the table with her fingertip, smiled, and nodded. “We are friends. Of course, I should help you solve your problems. If there’s anything else, you can continue to tell me. I’m willing to be your listener.”

“Okay, I’ll head back first then. I’ll treat you to a meal another day.”

“Okay, bye-bye.”

Luo Ying gently waved her hand, then propped her cheek with one hand, watching Su Tao’s gradually receding back. The emotions in her eyes were both surprise and admiration.

She really is the white moonlight after all!

A trace of thought appeared on Luo Ying’s face, then she seemed to think of something again and let out a rather disgusted “Tch” sound.

She stood up and left straight away.

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was close to the time of the banquet hosted by Dongfang Yang’s family.
