Peach-Orange! – Chapter 469 – So, She Has Liked Me All Along

‘I originally thought that what Luo Ying said was the truth, and her guesses were also the truth.’

‘I also thought the content expressed by that mysterious pair of glasses was Xiaocheng’s true thoughts.’

‘But if Xiaocheng likes me so much, how could she really deceive me?’

‘And now, at such an important banquet occasion, with many people watching and paying attention.’

‘Moreover, because of my father whom I’ve never met, and all the things that happened before, even people from these upper-class families have come to know me and Xiaocheng.’

‘Under such circumstances, the meaning of attending together in matching formalwear needs no further explanation, right?’

‘The amount of pain I felt before is equal to the amount of happiness I feel now.’

‘Now, Xiaocheng has used her actions to tell me that I am the only one she likes.’

Her heart overflowing with joy, Su Tao wiped a tear from the corner of her eye and reached out to Xia Kui, saying, “Give me the clothes, I can manage on my own.”

Xia Kui was taken aback. “You don’t need my help?”

“No need. I’ve worn this to a banquet before. Go pull your sister out; she’s not allowed to watch Xiaocheng change clothes!”

After very seriously stating this last point, Su Tao took the full set of tailcoat and accessories into the room.

Xia Kui watched with a helpless expression.

Young Master Si Chen said they might be having a conflict.

This doesn’t look like a conflict at all; it’s clearly just a couple flirting. How utterly helpless.

And Su Tao changed into the suit very quickly.

In less than five minutes, she walked out of the room.

Xia Kui, who had been playing on her phone outside, gaped upon seeing Su Tao, nearly dropping her phone.

One word:

Dashing!

The fitted pure white tailcoat perfectly complemented her tall, curvaceous figure. The high ponytail, restyled, was utterly captivating.

The fair skin of her neck, the long legs accentuated by the suit trousers, the slender waist, and the chest emphasized by the cut of the jacket.

At first glance, one would think she was very beautiful, but beneath that pure beauty, she retained a feminine softness, while the suit added a touch of androgynous charm.

To be honest,

Xia Kui felt a little moved.

She’s a straight girl, but this was the first time she’d been stunned by someone of the same sex.

Su Tao adjusted her cuff and asked Xia Kui, “Are Xiaocheng and the others still not ready?”

Xia Kui paused for a moment, then quickly shook her head. “They haven’t come out yet. Let’s wait a bit longer.”

“Okay.” Su Tao nodded calmly, but her energy and spirit had improved greatly.

The shadow of that white moonlight seemed to have reappeared on her.

The wait felt quite long. A full ten more minutes passed before that door slowly opened.

Xia Ju wore a mysterious smile and suddenly thrust out her hands, announcing loudly, “And now, welcome our little princess, Chi Xiaocheng!”

As soon as the words fell, a somewhat shy voice was heard, “What little princess? That’s enough out of you.”

Chi Xiaocheng walked out slowly.

It wasn’t her first time wearing a gown, so she shouldn’t have been so shy.

But meeting Su Tao’s gaze upon exiting, noticing the lily decoration on the girl’s chest and the very obvious lily patterns on the buttons of her clothes, she still felt shy.

She realized that she was wearing this gown for the girl before her.

The front hem of the skirt only reached her knees. Those slender, pale, delicate calves shyly pressed together. “H-how do I look?”

“Very cute.”

These three words almost spilled directly from Su Tao’s mouth.

Clothes maketh man, and a saddle makes the horse! This saying is absolutely true!

Even in her everyday clothes, without makeup, and with a bare face, Chi Xiaocheng was already very cute.

But this pure white gown, fitting her form flawlessly, was fresh and pristine like emerging from water. The style was relatively conservative, yet the neckline was a small round collar, revealing her collarbones slightly, very subtly exuding allure.

The lily patterns adorning the dress, the white silk ribbon tied at the waist, and the lily hairpin inserted in her hair all matched the patterns on Su Tao’s suit.

The contrasting styles of their outfits were similar, with perfect echoing in color and details. Even though they were the same gender, it made people feel that these two were a pair.

However, aside from Chi Xiaocheng’s lovely face, the second place Su Tao’s eyes landed on were those pale, slender calves.

The gown was conservative, and these calves were, besides the collarbones, the only exposed part.

Viewed from behind, they would be blocked by the long dress, but from the front or the side, it was hard to ignore this area of fair skin contrasting with the dress.

But right now, the girl wearing the gown seemed a little unhappy.

“Tao-Tao, you really are a block of wood.”

Chi Xiaocheng said this bluntly, which was rare for her.

Su Tao’s admiring gaze froze. “I… I didn’t say anything wrong. Xiaocheng, you do look really cute in this dress.”

“Your first reaction upon seeing me was just ‘cute’?” Chi Xiaocheng pouted and turned her head away. “A first reaction like that, the words that come from your subconscious, if they aren’t ‘I like it,’ I won’t accept it.”

Hearing this, Su Tao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

She thought something was wrong.

So it was because of this.

Su Tao walked to Chi Xiaocheng’s side, placed a hand on her shoulder, and without even needing to apply pressure, made Chi Xiaocheng turn back to face her.

She smiled. “Xiaocheng, is it too late to say I like it now?”

Before Chi Xiaocheng could speak, Su Tao shook her head again. “Forget it, I’ll prove it with actions instead.”

Her gaze settled on Chi Xiaocheng’s pink, soft, thin lips. “Did you put on lipstick?”

“Just a little tinted lip balm. The flavor is….”

“Shh!” Su Tao extended her index finger, pressed it against Chi Xiaocheng’s lips, stopping her from speaking.

Then she tossed her ponytail, a smile spreading across her face. “I’ll taste it myself.”

She tilted her head, closed her eyes, and leaned down.

The Xia Ju and Xia Kui sisters watching from the side felt that not even a lightbulb overhead could shine as brightly as they did right now.

Especially the younger sister, Xia Kui, whose eyes were wide open. “Sister, they look so great together. I’m so envious.”

Xia Ju chuckled lightly. “Envious of what? Wanting to find a partner won’t do. We work under Young Master Si Chen. Once you have a significant other, that heart has a place of attachment and longing, and that becomes a weakness.

“At the very least, if you want to try finding a partner, you have to quit your job first.”

Love significantly reduces a person’s intelligence.

At the same time, it is also a weakness.

But how could Xia Ju not envy the relationship between those two? She is, after all, also a 20-year-old girl who has never been in love in her life.

But envy is one thing.

A relationship like theirs isn’t something everyone can replicate.

The kiss ended.

Su Tao licked her lips contentedly. “Was that enough?”

“Not enough.” Chi Xiaocheng stood on her tiptoes, rubbed her nose against Su Tao’s, then turned around with a smile. “But we can save the rest for tonight when we get home. The banquet is about to start.”

Turning her back, Chi Xiaocheng reached out her hand to Su Tao. “Miss knight, you have to protect me from now on, okay?”

Su Tao was startled for a moment, then went down on one knee and took the small hand. “Of course, my little princess.”
