Peach-Orange! – Chapter 496 – The Girl Beside Her

The girl’s sudden question made Dongfang Yang pause in his tracks.

The big boy’s voice was a bit stammering, “You… why are you asking this?”

Moonlight spilled down, illuminating Dongfang Yang’s profile. His usually handsome and confident face held a touch of shyness.

He continued walking forward. Su Tao hid behind his shadow. Their steps slowed, and Su Tao continued gloomily, “I just want to know what you think of Xiaocheng.”

But judging by his expression, Dongfang Yang must like Xiaocheng a lot, right?

Carried by the gentle breeze, the man’s answer reached Su Tao’s ears.

“How should I put my feelings for Chi Xiaocheng? I’d divide it into two aspects.”

Dongfang Yang stated the first point, the most direct one, “First of all, Chi Xiaocheng is very cute.”

A faint smile unconsciously touched his lips, “As a guy, her appearance is a big plus. Fair skin, petite and adorable. Honestly, she could look even prettier with just a little makeup and dressing up, but she prefers to run around with that pure, bare face.

“Anyway, everything about her is quite good. From a guy’s perspective, unless someone has a specific, absolute preference, like only liking mature, big-sister types with long legs and big breasts, otherwise, no one would reject a girl like her.” Dongfang Yang added another sentence.

“It’s just that she’s a bit too short, and her chest is indeed a bit flat? If only she were as tall as you, Su Tao.”

Su Tao didn’t respond, only saying faintly, “What about the second point?”

“The second point is her personality.” Dongfang Yang put his hands in his pockets and continued, “Dopey, silly, clumsy, not only slow but also easily shy. More importantly, pure.

“Her actions, her likes, don’t have the pettiness most girls keep hidden. She’s truly mischievous when she’s being playful, says whatever’s on her mind, and if she finds something wrong with you, she’ll mercilessly make fun of you.

“I still remember once when we went out, she bluntly called me a tsundere.”

Dongfang Yang’s sigh was filled with affection, “Actually, I don’t admit it myself, but feedback from people around me made me realize I more or less have that trait. But Chi Xiaocheng was one of the few who pointed it out directly.

“And also, she gives me a feeling completely different from other girls. Money, power, luxurious necklaces, expensive bags and clothes… she completely dislikes and doesn’t pursue these things. Once she said that the plain and ordinary life with you is really, how should I put it….”

Strolling along, Dongfang Yang’s chatter didn’t stop.

He talked about a lot.

Going out to play with Chi Xiaocheng, going to eat, their usual chats on WeChat, occasionally confiding when encountering troubles.

Usually, Dongfang Yang is quite busy with matters from his family. In such a busy life, who wouldn’t like having a sensible, cute angel by your side at all times providing emotional value?

In the end, Dongfang Yang very honestly said to Su Tao, “So regarding your question earlier, about Chi Xiaocheng, on a scale of 100, I’d have about 70 or 80 points of liking for her.

“And, I think Chi Xiaocheng probably likes me too.”

This really isn’t one of his three major life misconceptions.

Dongfang Yang doesn’t know that Chi Xiaocheng treats him as a daily task to farm emotional value.

What he sees is just this little loli playing with him every day, even if he’s busy, she’ll still bother him on WeChat.

You have to understand, it’s every day!

Unless he’s truly too busy, otherwise, rain or shine, Chi Xiaocheng is there.

If this isn’t liking me, Dongfang Yang, then I’ll just eat my—

And after Su Tao finished listening, she also looked at the starry sky and sighed.

Sure enough, that was the answer.

And that was the result.

She had known it all along, hadn’t she?

Dongfang Yang likes Xiaocheng.

And Xiaocheng also likes Dongfang Yang.

Just like the voice that sounded again in her heart: only by killing Chi Xiaocheng can they truly be together forever!

‘Can I really still be with Xiaocheng?’

‘Will she still like me?’

‘Is it a problem with memory, or is it my problem?’

‘So tired so tired so tired so tired so tired so tired…’

‘I completely don’t want to think, but I can’t help but think.’

Can’t give up on Xiaocheng.

Can’t kill Xiaocheng.

‘That voice in my body is wrong. If Xiaocheng dies, then what should I do?’

Unknowingly, Su Tao had already followed Dongfang Yang to the lounge in the back hall.

Chi Xiaocheng had long changed into ordinary casual clothes and was waiting there for Su Tao.

The two who had argued met again. Su Tao wanted to reach out and speak, but then she saw Chi Xiaocheng turn her head away.

This couldn’t help but make the young girl’s heart feel even colder.

And because the situation was urgent, Dongfang Yang didn’t notice the somewhat off atmosphere between the two, “Whatever it is, talk about it later. Now, follow the bodyguard I sent and go back together through the small gate on the other side of the manor.”

Chi Xiaocheng turned to look at Dongfang Yang, “Did Si Chen send news?”

“Yeah, encountered an ambush, but the situation is okay, not very serious.”

Dongfang Yang’s words left Su Tao completely confused, but before she could get an explanation, she was already being pushed along by Dongfang Yang, “Anyway, you set off first. Su Tao, if you want to know anything, ask Chi Xiaocheng.”

She was like a raft being constantly pushed along, floating wherever the water flowed.

When she came to again, she was already sitting in a bodyguard’s car with Chi Xiaocheng.

The car drove towards the somewhat secret back gate Dongfang Yang had mentioned.

It was also at this time, being close to Chi Xiaocheng, that Su Tao smelled the faint orange scent on the girl.

It was very enjoyable, but she didn’t dare lean in to smell it.

She just sat stiffly to the side, pursed her lips for a long time, suppressing the voice in her heart that kept telling her to kill Chi Xiaocheng, and slowly said, “Xiaocheng, I’m sorry.”

What blurted out was still an apology.

Chi Xiaocheng glanced at Su Tao, pouted, “You still don’t believe me. What’s the use of saying sorry? Shouldn’t you be questioning me further now?”

After arguing like that, how could she not be upset?

“But I—!”

Su Tao really wanted to say that the facts were just like that, it wasn’t that she was questioning.

‘Wasn’t hiding being with Dongfang Yang from me a deception?’

‘What about the Chengcheng account?’

‘Now that we’ve argued, wouldn’t Xiaocheng drift even further away from me?’

Yes, why hadn’t she thought of it before?

Chengcheng, Chengcheng.

Doctor Cheng is also “Cheng”, could he possibly be another one of Xiaocheng’s aliases?

This kind of thought was fine if it didn’t occur, but once it sprouted, it couldn’t be stopped.

The seductive voice of the world’s will in her heart sounded again.

—Su Tao, you simply have no way out now, do you!

—She just outright dislikes you like this!

—What else are you trying to salvage, what are you waiting for, begging like a dog for Chi Xiaocheng to come back to you?

—That’s your love! How can you bear to share it with others?

“Shut up!”

Su Tao’s sudden shout made the driver in front jump.

‘If she doesn’t belong to me anymore, can she still be considered my love?’

—So what if she is? If you can’t have her, then destroy her!

Going around in circles, it seemed like they were back to the beginning.

The only difference was, this time, facing the direct interference of the world’s will, Su Tao had another girl by her side.
