Peach-Orange! – Chapter 503 – Confession

Fine, so be it if she wants to keep hiding it.

Su Tao looked up at the sky and sighed helplessly and resignedly.

She had gradually become accustomed and numb to Chi Xiaocheng’s concealment.

Whether it was Dongfang Yang or this mysterious third party, it was best to just ignore them.

If they tried to take Xiaocheng away from her, that would be a different story.

Su Tao forced an understanding smile, “Since Xiaocheng doesn’t plan to say it directly, let’s just drop it for now. That person wouldn’t harm us anyway, right?”

Chi Xiaocheng pursed her lips, “Tao-Tao, do you still think my feelings for you aren’t sincere enough?”

“Not at all,” Su Tao replied straightforwardly. “Xiaocheng likes me the most; of course I know that. Why would I doubt you?”

Chi Xiaocheng: “But…”

“Ah, it was my fault before,” Su Tao said with an apologetic smile. “I shouldn’t have doubted Xiaocheng at the banquet. We’ve come all this way together; if you didn’t like me, how could we have reached this point?

“After all, we are a couple.”

If Su Tao hadn’t been influenced by the World Will, these words would undoubtedly have been a reassurance to Chi Xiaocheng.

However, these words were spoken by Su Tao in her current unstable state.

The emotions in her words were very perfunctory.

Chi Xiaocheng smiled lightly, “It seems Tao-Tao still doubts me, but I can tell you very bluntly, Tao-Tao.”

It seemed this attempt to lower Tao-Tao’s character weight below 50% had failed.

Since it failed, there was no need to keep hiding it.

Held by the girl’s hand, Chi Xiaocheng turned around and faced Su Tao directly. “Tao-Tao, I can tell you responsibly that I have never liked Dongfang Yang, nor have I liked anyone else. From beginning to end, I have only liked you.”

Su Tao opened her mouth but said nothing.

What was the point of saying this now?

This was just making excuses.

‘The fact that you and Dongfang Yang go out to play every day is true.’

‘The fact that Dongfang Yang likes you is also true.’

‘Even Dongfang Yang thinks you like him.’

‘There’s no way to clearly explain that Cheng Cheng is your alternate account, right?’

Su Tao felt there was no need to listen to Chi Xiaocheng’s words anymore.

Whether true or false, as long as she confirmed the girl before her still liked her, it was enough.

However, Chi Xiaocheng’s next words made Su Tao’s pupils contract and changed some of her thoughts at that moment.

“Tao-Tao, deep in your heart, in your mind, there should always be a certain voice saying some not-so-good things to you, right?”

Chi Xiaocheng smiled self-reproachfully, “Besides, Si Chen gave you a pair of glasses, didn’t they? Did some not-so-good values related to me appear on them?

“I feel something is a bit off about Luo Ying, but I can’t quite put my finger on why. Did she secretly say something to you too?”

Su Tao’s pupils contracted in shock, and she even took an involuntary step back.

The hand gripping Chi Xiaocheng loosened.

A strange urge even surged through her body, compelling her to step forward and strangle this beloved girl.

Su Tao’s shoulders trembled, and her breathing became much more rapid.

That certain voice in her heart sounded again.

—Su Tao!

—What nonsense are you still listening to from her? She has been deceiving you and influencing you; don’t you understand that yet!

—Are you still going to believe the lies she tells? Do you enjoy being deceived by her so much?

—You never learn!!!

The voice made her head ache. Su Tao raised another hand to press against her forehead.

Seeing this, Chi Xiaocheng just gave a faint smile, “Is that certain voice in your heart talking to you again?”

Su Tao endured the pain, her lips quivering as she asked, “Xiaocheng, you… how do you know?”

Know about that certain voice in my heart.

Know about the magical glasses.

Know about Luo Ying secretly investigating you and giving me advice.

Chi Xiaocheng’s voice was very soft, “Of course I know.”

Flipping the table? Who doesn’t know how to do that.

Plans can’t keep up with changes; that’s normal.

Plan A was to use the attack by the Head Maid to make Su Tao’s character weight fall below 50%. She would most likely get injured, but with the recovery from Orange Cells, a half-month hospital stay would be enough.

These half month would be used to prepare Tao-Tao mentally. After falling below 50%, dropping to 0% would happen quickly.

She could also break free from the character framework bound by the World Will and find her true self.

But if there’s only one plan, it really is no different from gambling.

Without Plan A, Chi Xiaocheng still had Plan B.

‘Tao-Tao, we grew up together.’

‘Got to know each other.’

‘Became dependent on each other.’

‘Then fell in love.’

‘Will you choose to believe what I say, or believe the voice in your heart?’

‘It’s only 50% weight.’

‘It’s fifty-fifty for both of us, right?’

Chi Xiaocheng raised a hand, snapped her fingers lightly, and a brand-new fruit knife appeared in her hand.

This magical and sudden scene, like a magic trick, shocked Su Tao immensely once again.

Chi Xiaocheng tossed the fruit knife, stored it in her system space, and it disappeared again.

Only then did she say calmly, “Tao-Tao, this world isn’t as simple as you perceive it to be. That voice in your heart is actually…”

Before she could finish, another “Bang—” sounded from the darkness ahead.

Su Tao quickly pulled Chi Xiaocheng down behind the overturned car.

Glancing at the timer on the car’s hood, she was shocked to find only 3 minutes left!

She had been so shocked by what Chi Xiaocheng said that she had overlooked the impending explosion.

And that special forces squad should have been wiped out; where was this gunfire coming from!

Su Tao grew anxious. She was strong in combat, but when flustered, she was more prone to charging ahead, and her mind didn’t work as fast as Chi Xiaocheng’s.

Chi Xiaocheng said directly, “Tao-Tao, we don’t know how many enemies there are. We should first move away from this car that could explode anytime and find a hidden place to take cover.

“In a moment, a smoke grenade will be thrown onto the middle of the road. Then we run into the woods!”

The smoke grenade came naturally from Xiao Hei.

When she took the sniper rifle, she also grabbed two smoke and flash grenades.

Originally, it was to prevent the World Will from throwing any sudden surprises.

Unexpectedly, it really came in handy.

Su Tao also nodded with a serious expression, “My strength has recovered a bit. Dealing with one or two people shouldn’t be a problem. But….”

Chi Xiaocheng smiled faintly, “Just say whatever you want to say, Tao-Tao.”

As she spoke, a smoke grenade landed in the center of the road and began to spin and spread smoke.

Seeing this, Su Tao quickly bent down, slipped one arm under Chi Xiaocheng’s armpit and the other under her knees, and effortlessly picked her up in a princess carry.

The girl ignored the increasingly狂 furious voice of the World Will in her heart and finally said, “But, once we’re safe, can you explain carefully what you were talking about before, Xiaocheng? And also your… guardian spirit.”

Su Tao also found it strange. Even though her mind was muddled and that person’s voice in her heart kept shouting, she could still feel that this time, Xiaocheng wasn’t lying to her.
