Peach-Orange! – Chapter 488 – Chengcheng Is Exposed!

The girl was still wearing that pure white tailcoat, sitting on the stone bench as the bright moonlight showered her. She looked somewhat tired, but upon seeing Chi Xiaocheng, she still raised a gentle smile.

However, the dashing, captivating charm she had during the banquet was gone.

The lily decoration on her chest was missing, the tie that represented her elegance was crooked and untidy, and her pure white suit pants, which had once perfectly outlined her long legs, were now stained with a bit of dust.

Su Tao’s energy and spirit had entered a very poor state.

Her internal struggles were one reason.

More importantly, it was the influence of the world’s will.

Chi Xiaocheng noticed this, put away her phone, clasped her hands behind her back, and nimbly hopped over to Su Tao’s side.

“Tao-Tao, you took so long in the restroom, I couldn’t find you anywhere. So I went to explore the garden here by myself.”

Chi Xiaocheng came to Su Tao’s side and realized the stone bench could only seat one person.

Although there was another bench nearby, it was over a meter away.

“Can you scoot over a little?” Chi Xiaocheng half-bent over, standing in front of Su Tao and blocking the moonlight. The shadow cast by the light covered half of Su Tao’s body.

Su Tao helplessly adjusted her posture, bringing her legs together and then spreading her arms open.

The nearly explicit gesture quickly resonated with Chi Xiaocheng. She smoothed her long skirt, turned around, and sat on Su Tao’s lap.

As the girl wrapped her arms around Chi Xiaocheng’s slender waist, she effortlessly melted into Su Tao’s soft embrace.

Su Tao, in turn, moved closer to Chi Xiaocheng, resting her chin on the little loli’s shoulder and pressing one side of her cheek tightly against Chi Xiaocheng’s face.

As the wind stirred, Chi Xiaocheng’s hair gently brushed against the girl’s skin.

“Sniff—”

The moment she got close to the girl’s hair, Su Tao turned her head and brought her nose to Chi Xiaocheng’s neck, greedily inhaling the faint scent of oranges without any regard for decorum.

Chi Xiaocheng’s body stiffened slightly for a moment but soon returned to normal. She softly asked, “Is Tao-Tao in a bad mood?”

“Mhm.”

Su Tao responded, still buried in Chi Xiaocheng’s neck.

Her voice was soft and muffled. “Xiaocheng, what would you do if someone you like doesn’t like you back?”

Chi Xiaocheng feigned ignorance. “Why does Tao-Tao ask that?”

“It’s for my friend, just now when I was in the restroom.” The girl answered lightly. “I ran into Tang Tang again, that middle school classmate of mine. You met her last time. She’s in a relationship and asked me this question again.

“I thought about it for a long time for her, but no matter what, I couldn’t figure out what to do.

“Aren’t you trying to write a romance novel, Xiaocheng? Do you have any advice?”

Chi Xiaocheng looked up at the starry sky and thought for a moment. “I can’t really think of anything. Forced love isn’t sweet. If the person Miss Tang Tang likes doesn’t like her back, there isn’t much else to do, right?”

“I don’t believe it.” Su Tao lifted her head, still resting it on Chi Xiaocheng’s shoulder. “Xiaocheng is so clever, how could you not think of something?”

“Since it’s about someone else, of course I can’t give good advice. Meddling in other people’s relationships isn’t good.”

“Then what if it were about Xiaocheng and me? What if I didn’t like Xiaocheng and deceived you? What would you do?”

“Hmm…” Chi Xiaocheng tilted her head, turning it sideways to look directly into Su Tao’s eyes. “Haven’t we had this answer before?”

‘You pretended to like me.’

‘That, too, is a form of deception.’

‘Yes, we’ve been through this before.’

‘Because of love and affection, Xiaocheng locked herself in the small dark room.’

‘And later, unable to accept it, she chose to take her own life.’

‘Then, in that way, she forced me to stay by her side.’

‘Yet it was precisely because of this that I realized what I truly loved and finally became aware of one thing.’

‘I, Su Tao, had long since fallen for this little loli before me.’

Su Tao held Chi Xiaocheng even tighter, her arms around Chi Xiaocheng’s waist also grasping both of Chi Xiaocheng’s small hands.

As if afraid the girl in her arms would run away at any moment.

Su Tao shifted her body slightly outward, making room for Chi Xiaocheng to turn around, and then said softly, “A kiss.”

Chi Xiaocheng felt helpless but adjusted her sitting posture, turned sideways, and lightly pecked Su Tao’s thin lips.

But the girl seemed unsatisfied. One hand directly pressed against the back of Chi Xiaocheng’s head, followed by a forgetful and highly invasive demand.

The garden was empty, with only the chirping of insects accentuating an atmosphere that should have been romantic but felt somewhat oppressive.

Fireflies, carrying their little lanterns, hovered around the two.

Completely under Su Tao’s control, Chi Xiaocheng’s gaze grew increasingly dazed.

But she couldn’t see that, while the girl’s expression was one of enjoyment, it carried even more obsession.

She loved Xiaocheng’s scent.

Soft, sweet.

If possible, she didn’t want to let go for a single moment.

Intertwining their saliva, making the girl forever unable to escape her embrace.

Until Chi Xiaocheng’s breathing became labored, her face flushed red, and she lightly patted Su Tao’s back with both hands.

Only then did Su Tao slowly release her.

In the cool night air, puffs of white mist were visible with each exhale.

“Tao-Tao, you tonight.…”

Before Chi Xiaocheng could finish, Su Tao extended her index finger and pressed it against Chi Xiaocheng’s lips, softly asking, “Xiaocheng, do you like me?”

“Yes.”

The answer came instantly, without hesitation.

“Then since you like me, why did you lie to me?”

The words Su Tao uttered calmly made the night air feel even colder.

The affection generated by hormones as they snuggled seemed to cool down at this moment as well.

Chi Xiaocheng looked at Su Tao’s eyes, puzzled. “Lie? Where did I lie to you, Tao-Tao? We just kissed, and now you’re doubting my feelings for you?

“In the past, I could even die for you, and now you actually doubt my feelings for you!”

Chi Xiaocheng shook off Su Tao’s attempt to caress her face, her tone becoming defensive and impulsive. She pushed with her legs, trying to break free from Su Tao’s embrace and stand up.

But the girl gave Chi Xiaocheng no chance to escape.

Not even a sliver of possibility.

She reached out and grabbed Chi Xiaocheng’s arm.

With a strange, tremendous force, she easily pulled Chi Xiaocheng back into her embrace.

One hand shot out and directly clamped around Chi Xiaocheng’s throat.

She slowly took out her phone, a somewhat eerie smile on her face. “Xiaocheng, guess why this Chengcheng isn’t replying to my messages? I sent her a very important message, and right when you saw me, she stopped responding.”

The screen lit up to show a WeChat chat page.

The person with the ID “Chengcheng” hadn’t replied for over ten minutes.

And this time coincided exactly with when Chi Xiaocheng met Su Tao until now.

Su Tao chuckled. “Want to know how I found out? Or can you still say you haven’t been lying to me?”

WeChat call, clicked to dial.

A ringtone slowly began to sound.
