Peach-Orange! – Chapter 490 – Keep Your Xiaocheng By Your Side Forever

Looking at Su Tao, who had completely lost her white moonlight aura, Chi Xiaocheng felt a chill in her heart.

Even though she was angry, wronged, and upset now, she still maintained a shred of rationality.

She forced herself to calm down.

Constantly telling herself in her heart that this was all the doing of the world’s will.

The world’s will desperately wanted Su Tao to abandon her, and without Su Tao, this War God bloodline “bodyguard,” she would be easier to kill.

Just like the last time they were ambushed at Chu Lingfeng’s manor.

If Su Tao hadn’t arrived in time, she and Si Chen would have already been defeated and died there.

‘Hah, if I love you, I shouldn’t deceive you?’

‘But aren’t those lies also a part of my love for you?’

Chi Xiaocheng clearly understood Su Tao’s current state of mind.

It was like those addicts and gamblers.

They actually know they shouldn’t continue anymore, whether it’s addictive substances or gambling.

When they’re high, they might not care about so much.

But during the moment of clarity, they also feel they should stop, that continuing will only lead to more bad things, making themselves increasingly “wretched.”

Even understanding this, is it useful?

No, they are already dominated by that “pleasure,” their brains giving up struggling and thinking.

Just like a gambler, only thinking the next bet will recoup the losses, the next bet will win more.

So gamblers will always only be gamblers.

Su Tao was in such a situation.

She might know in her heart that she feels guilty towards Chi Xiaocheng, know that it might be her own fault, know that she shouldn’t continue arguing, that it will only lead to worse things.

But her thoughts have already been guided by this “pleasure” from the world’s will.

Unable to extricate herself.

Such an obsessive her, isn’t she just like her ¹ ’Her’ here is Xiaocheng former self?

Seeing Chi Xiaocheng remain silent for a long time, Su Tao pressed further, reaching out to grip Chi Xiaocheng’s arm, “What’s wrong, Xiaocheng, can’t you find words to refute me now?”

“Refute?”

Chi Xiaocheng let out a self-mocking laugh, “You don’t believe me now, so how do you want me to refute you and then prove to you that I love you more deeply than you love me?”

‘What’s the point, when you’re influenced by the world’s will?’

Chi Xiaocheng had a plan for what came next, but she still felt icy cold.

This argument shouldn’t have happened.

What they were arguing about now wasn’t deception, but just Su Tao thinking that her, Chi Xiaocheng’s, love had faded.

Su Tao gripped Chi Xiaocheng’s arm, exerting more and more force, even leaning close to her to say sharply, “Why aren’t you refuting me? Prove further that your feelings for me are real! Can you leave Dongfang Yang now and stay by my side forever?”

The pain in her arm made Chi Xiaocheng’s tears fall uncontrollably, “How else do I need to prove it?

“Do I have to die in front of you to prove my love to you!”

With a loud cry, Chi Xiaocheng endured the pain, broke free from Su Tao, and directly fled deep into the garden.

Her two slender legs under her skirt moved constantly, glistening tears refracting glaring light under the moonlight.

Falling into the flower bushes, onto the leaves.

Even these plants, because of this sorrow, gradually closed up.

Fireflies still fluttered around Su Tao, their little lanterns flickering on and off, the warm moonlight spilling over her, highlighting the young girl’s expression, a little confused at first, then taken over by obsession.

And that girl in the white dress gradually disappeared into the darkness of the garden.

The same self-mocking smile.

No explanation, no refutation, instead choosing to run away?

“Xiaocheng, you clearly say you love me, so why are you running away guiltily now?

“Because you don’t know how to explain?

“Or are you going to seek comfort from Dongfang Yang again?”

‘—She might even take this opportunity to break up with you and truly be with Dongfang Yang!’

The voice in her heart sounded again.

Because of this, the obsession in her heart grew stronger.

Xiaocheng absolutely cannot be with Dongfang Yang.

She is mine!

She is mine!

Mine!!!

“I must find a way to keep Xiaocheng by my side, no matter what method I use to restore her memories.

“Yes, I need to call back that yandere Xiaocheng, only that Xiaocheng would truly love me alone.”

‘If it were before, if Xiaocheng argued with me like this, she would definitely hurt herself again to prove her love for me.’

‘But now?’

‘She refuted me and ran away.’

‘The current Xiaocheng is not the Xiaocheng I’m familiar with!’

‘In such an argument, she didn’t show any signs of being yandere!’

“But… how should I keep Xiaocheng by my side?”

‘Like Xiaocheng did before, if I lock her up, can I keep her by my side?’

The idea of a little black room suddenly emerged in Su Tao’s mind.

‘Yes, as long as I imprison Xiaocheng, make it so she can’t leave me no matter what, then Xiaocheng will belong to me alone.’

Su Tao felt she had found the right path.

But a certain voice in her heart seemed to disagree.

‘—Just a little black room is completely insufficient, my Tao Tao, have you forgotten, Xiaocheng is not the same as before.’

‘—Dongfang Yang likes her, Si Chen is also very close to her, even Chi Song cares deeply about Xiaocheng. What would happen if they found out you deliberately locked Xiaocheng in a little black room?’

‘—Dongfang Yang likes Chi Xiaocheng, and thus rescue her.’

‘—Si Chen and Chi Song would do the same; these two people’s methods and extremism are even greater than Dongfang Yang’s!’

‘—Then, wouldn’t you, Su Tao, become the villain? They would defeat and subdue you because of Chi Xiaocheng, just like in novels and comics, and after you, live a happy and joyful life.’

‘—Is such an ending what you want to see!’

“No… such an ending must not be allowed to happen!”

Reminded by the voice in her heart, Su Tao’s lips trembled slightly, and she covered her head in pain, squatting on the ground.

Her clothes stained with dust, her image and aura growing worse.

The voice in her heart continued to persuasively guide.

‘—Yes, we cannot allow such a thing to happen. That is not truly being together; eventually, you would lose your Xiaocheng.’

‘—Drop out of school with Xiaocheng, take her back to your hometown. There, there is no Dongfang Yang, no Si Chen, and you can break Xiaocheng’s legs, make her forever confined to a wheelchair.’

‘—She might even struggle to take care of her own eating and drinking, relying only on you. Wouldn’t she belong to you forever then? ‘

This voice left a hook.

And Su Tao indeed noticed this hook, asking with a trembling mouth, “But… what about Brother Chi Song? If Xiaocheng’s legs are broken and she can’t run around, Dongfang Yang and Si Chen would definitely still come to see Xiaocheng often, right? They know Xiaocheng’s address!”

If that happened, wouldn’t Xiaocheng still be taken away by them?

‘That Xiaocheng would still not belong to me alone.’

‘She should belong to me alone!’

‘—Then what if we be even more radical? I have a method to make Xiaocheng truly stay by your side, even merge with you into one.’

“Method?”

‘—Yes, a method that lets you be with her forever.’

‘—As long as you kill her, keep her ashes by your side, even steep them in water and drink them, wouldn’t she belong only to you forever?’

That would be truly merging into one.
