Peach-Orange! – Chapter 495

The World Will slowly turned around, looking down at Dongfang Wen with an air of arrogance. One hand extended, It said with great bravado, “Old thing, do you know who I am?”

Dongfang Wen frowned at the sight. “Miss Su Tao, what are you talking about?”

“Hah!”

‘If I don’t reveal my aura, these mortals truly cannot perceive a higher existence like a god.’

The World Will thought thus, suddenly widened Its eyes, and glared fiercely at Dongfang Wen. “Old thing, I am not some Su Tao. Remember this, I am… a god!”

‘For an important character like Su Tao, it was one thing for her weight to drop to 50%.’

‘Because of those three little mice, I completely cannot control her, but others, I can naturally handle with ease.’

What It didn’t expect was that Its glare, carrying hypnosis, thought induction, and mental control, only caused the old codger before It to freeze for a moment.

Then Dongfang Wen laughed.

He laughed in anger.

“No wonder it felt so eerie.”

Dongfang Wen slowly looped the string of the yo-yo, which had taken two and a half hours to untangle from a dead knot, around his middle finger, then said to The World Will, “Watch closely!”

With a whirr, the yo-yo fell and spun at an extremely fast speed. Dongfang Wen lifted half the string, raising the yo-yo to his chest.

The sound of the pulley friction was strangely captivating, inexplicably tugging at one’s heartstrings. After the pattern on the side of the yo-yo started spinning, it became the classic abstract spiral pattern circling round and round.

From large to small, then from small to large.

With just one glance, the World Will froze on the spot.

Its brain involuntarily started playing the BGM of Blazing Teens ¹ ??? Idk this reference .

It seemed to hallucinate the old man before It spinning and jumping non-stop with the yo-yo, the spinning little ball even producing dragon roars.

Its eyes gradually hollowed.

Then quickly were filled with colors belonging to another person.

Dongfang Wen slowly walked to Its side. With a “snap!” of his fingers, he lightly patted Su Tao’s shoulder.

The girl’s body jolted, and she suddenly came to her senses, gasping for breath with a pained expression.

“I… what’s wrong with me?”

The girl’s eyes revealed confusion, her words full of exhaustion.

Dongfang Wen squinted and smiled beside her. “Back?”

Su Tao looked weakly at Dongfang Wen. “Back… what do you mean?”

Dongfang Wen didn’t explain directly. Instead, he started spinning his yo-yo again and said to Su Tao, “You’re in poor condition right now. Stare at the yo-yo; I’ll refresh your state.”

Soon, the sound of pulley friction formed a strange loop in her ears, the spinning spiral pattern making Su Tao unconsciously immerse herself.

She only felt herself falling into a very peculiar state, her mind becoming increasingly clear.

Although her body was still very tired, the pain in her head had lessened considerably.

It was during this recovery that the still-spinning yo-yo suddenly broke apart with a “crack.”

Dongfang Wen’s eyes instantly went blank.

At the same time, that voice sounded again within Su Tao’s heart.

Only this time, it became panicked and urgent.

“Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!

“Why could this old thing resist my hypnosis? He’s just a pawn in this world with less than 1% weight!

“No, he’s not even fit to be a pawn!

“Why could he resist me, and even suppress me back?

“Damn it damn it damn it damn it damn it!!!”

The voice was very noisy, making Su Tao’s head hurt again.

She had no choice but to forcefully ignore the voice and look at Dongfang Wen. “Professor Dongfang, what exactly happened to me just now? And your yo-yo…”

Dongfang Wen scratched his head puzzledly and picked up the yo-yo. “My yo-yo is fine. Tonight is indeed a bit strange. But Miss Su Tao, did you come into contact with any strange people tonight?”

“Strange people?”

“Mm.” Dongfang Wen nodded seriously. “You were hypnotized, even given very serious suggestions and an action goal.”

“I… was hypnotized?”

Su Tao stood dumbly in place.

Suddenly, a surge of vast memories flooded into her mind, and she immediately held her head in pain again.

“Right… right, Xiaocheng, I need to find Xiaocheng. Someone wants to kill her. I… I need to protect…”

She stopped mid-sentence.

‘Protect what? Xiaocheng doesn’t like me anymore.’

‘What can I do to make Xiaocheng like me again?’

‘If she doesn’t like me, she will leave me. I must, must, must keep her by my side!’

Su Tao’s mind was in chaos.

She wanted to protect Chi Xiaocheng, but Chi Xiaocheng didn’t like her and would leave her.

If she can’t even get close to her, how can she protect her?

The previous dark thoughts resurfaced.

Besides the inner turmoil, there was also the continued influence of the World Will.

It was just “sealed” again by Dongfang Wen, unable to come out, but that didn’t mean It couldn’t communicate with Su Tao.

The original invincible plan, which could have ended everything tonight and killed those three little mice, was pushed back by this old codger.

Hateful! Detestable!

Dongfang Wen also frowned at Su Tao’s state, his tone carrying some difficulty. “The person who hypnotized you is also a very strong individual. The other party probably started influencing you a long time ago. It wasn’t until today that they fully hypnotized and controlled you.

“Even though I’ve never experienced this instance of hypnosis,I can tell that  the things they planted over the long term, equivalent to your ‘inner demons,’ are still affecting you.

“All my equipment broke down strangely tonight. I’m not used to using ordinary equipment. Right now, with your condition, I can’t easily intervene.

Reαⅾ οո КαtReаdiոɡСαfе

“Miss Su Tao, tomorrow I’ll have someone deliver some equipment. I will definitely help you resolve this condition.”

Having been a professional for many years, this was the first time he, Dongfang Wen, had encountered an opponent with some skill.

As an old thing, his competitive spirit started burning.

However, she, Su Tao, might not be able to wait that long.

Holding her aching head, Su Tao staggered as she tried to find her direction. “Then Professor Dongfang, I’ll leave it to you later. I should head back now?”

Dongfang Wen said helplessly, “How can I feel at ease with you like this? Wait a moment.”

He made a phone call. Soon, the man in a frivolous red suit ran over.

“Su Tao, so you’re here. Chi Xiaocheng and I have been looking for you for a long time. There’s an urgent situation; you need to go back first.”

Dongfang Yang also noticed Su Tao’s terrible complexion and slowed his tone towards the end.

However, Su Tao automatically ignored everything else Dongfang Yang said. The only keywords she caught were three words.

Chi Xiaocheng.

She asked urgently, “Where is Xiaocheng!”

“Uh…” Dongfang Yang took a step back; he felt Su Tao was too agitated. “She’s in the lounge at the back hall. Come with me.”

Su Tao nodded quickly, her steps even faster than Dongfang Yang’s.

But after walking for a while, her steps slowed down again… then gradually stopped. She looked up at the man who always exuded passion. “Dongfang Yang, answer me honestly, do you like Xiaocheng?”
