Peach-Orange! – Chapter 510 – Love That Fills

The last time Dongfang Yang was this speechless was when Qian Qing scolded him for being a blockhead, a tsundere, and having no emotional intelligence.

Back then, he felt that Qian Qing also had some issues.

Calling this young master a blockhead was one thing, after all, he hadn’t been in a serious relationship and was somewhat lacking in experience, right?

But he couldn’t agree with the rest.

Where exactly is this young master a tsundere, and lacking emotional intelligence?

Dongfang Yang had always considered himself a top-tier warm guy and never expected to be described like that by Qian Qing.

This time, that voice was even more outrageous.

The brilliantly clever young master was called brainless? As if! That voice is the brainless one!

After angrily thinking this through, Dongfang Yang noticed the strange expressions on the other three’s faces. “What’s with those looks? Is there something wrong with what I said?”

Si Chen averted his gaze.

Su Tao fell into a brief silence, hesitating whether to be frank with Dongfang Yang about some things.

Only Fang Ning, rather apologetically and with a bit of seriousness, replied, “Well, Brother Dongfang, although I didn’t understand that thing about the voice, regarding Sister Xiaocheng, actually….

“Um…”

Fang Ning hesitated, glanced secretly at Su Tao, and after some deliberation, chose to shut her little mouth and skip the topic.

She clasped her hands together as if cheering herself on and said softly, “I actually think Brother Dongfang doesn’t have any flaws. Maybe just a tiny bit too narcissistic?”

Dongfang Yang shrugged indifferently. “What man isn’t narcissistic? No matter how average you think you are, there’s always that moment after a shower when you feel damn handsome for a second.”

But even so, the somewhat odd atmosphere among the three still made Dongfang Yang uncomfortable.

Si Chen definitely wouldn’t say anything.

But the one with the strangest expression was Su Tao.

Dongfang Yang asked bluntly, “Su Tao, if you have something to say, just say it outright. What’s our relationship? No need to hide anything.”

Hearing this, Su Tao took a light breath. “Xiaocheng is still in surgery right now. Normally, I shouldn’t say so much, but…”

Her eyes held a determined resolve. “Regarding Xiaocheng here, you like Xiaocheng, and at the same time!

“I also like Xiaocheng.”

Su Tao’s serious tone made Dongfang Yang pause for a moment. “I thought it was something big. I know you like Chi Xiaocheng too. What’s the problem with that?”

His tone, radiating sagely wisdom, made little Fang Ning cover her face.

Si Chen even walked to the side, looking somewhat speechlessly at the three characters “手术中” (In Surgery).

A similar conversation had happened once before.

But Su Tao had thought Dongfang Yang understood her meaning back then.

Now, with a clear mind, she realized that even when she explicitly said “like,” Dongfang Yang had misinterpreted this feeling.

So this time, Su Tao added again, “The ‘like’ I mean isn’t the sisterly, familial kind you understand, but… the kind of liking that is love!”

Her gaze met Dongfang Yang’s without any fear.

‘Xiaocheng said she doesn’t like Dongfang Yang.’

‘This time, I believe Xiaocheng!’

‘Even if you, Dongfang Yang, are excellent and impeccable as either a friend or a partner, when it comes to Xiaocheng, in this matter of feelings, I will not lose to you!’

When this feeling was laid out so bluntly, Dongfang Yang was truly dumbfounded this time.

His mouth hung open, his brain short-circuited for a moment.

He couldn’t quite process the current situation.

Su Tao likes Chi Xiaocheng.

First, they are family, closer than family.

Second, they are both girls.

Then, the kind of liking that is… love?

‘Wait, even so, Chi Xiaocheng likes *me*. What does Su Tao mean by saying this? She can’t get Chi Xiaocheng this way. What’s her point!’

‘Or, is there a possibility that Su Tao actually doesn’t want Chi Xiaocheng to be with me, so she says this to make me back off and refuse?’

Dongfang Yang couldn’t figure it out for the moment.

However, right at that moment, the light in the surgery room went out, and the door suddenly opened.

Professor Su walked out slowly. Su Tao was the first to go up to her. “Professor Su, how is Xiaocheng?”

“Don’t worry. It’s just excessive blood loss. After treatment, she’s completely fine. Just a shot to the shoulder,” Professor Su said, not showing any sign of panic. “Moreover, with Miss Chi’s recovery ability, a minor injury like this will have her discharged in less than a week.”

Professor Su remarked that if she had those orange cells, even if she didn’t report it to the state for research, she’d stab herself daily to study it.

A gunshot wound to the shoulder was practically no different from a scrape for the little orange.

Then, a few nurses pushed the hospital bed out.

Su Tao immediately went over and saw that Chi Xiaocheng’s shoulder was already bandaged. Her breathing was steady, though her face was quite pale, and her lips lacked color.

Otherwise, there were no more obvious signs of condition.

Su Tao asked again, “Then, Professor Su, when will Xiaocheng roughly wake up?”

“Probably around noon tomorrow. She’s asleep now; better not disturb her.”

“Okay…”

Su Tao nodded in acknowledgment and immediately followed the hospital bed.

Si Chen, seeing Fang Ning also trotting along after them, bumped Dongfang Yang’s arm with his shoulder. “Your questions, wait until Chi Xiaocheng wakes up, and we’ll tell you together, especially about that voice issue.”

Dongfang Yang was momentarily speechless. “I’ve always felt you guys were hiding something from me. So it’s the same this time?”

“If you really intend to know the truth, then you must be mentally prepared to abandon everything.”

Si Chen recalled the rumors about himself in the upper circles, and his tone became meaningful.

He patted his friend’s shoulder, leaving with a wave. “I’m relieved now that I’ve confirmed Chi Xiaocheng is fine and Su Tao has become a bit brighter. I’m going to meet up with Chi Song and Brother Long now. Dongfang Yang, you should do some mental preparation first.”

Dongfang Yang was speechless.

He didn’t quite understand Si Chen’s words, but he had a rather bad premonition.

After thinking about it, he still headed towards the elevator. He wanted to confirm Chi Xiaocheng’s condition one more time.

Only after feeling reassured could he go settle the score with that Ye Er for everything that happened tonight!

Taking the elevator to the 5th floor, Dongfang Yang went to the hospital room always reserved for Chi Xiaocheng.

Pushing the door to enter, he saw Su Tao sitting by Chi Xiaocheng’s bed, holding her small hand, saying something he couldn’t hear. Her weary profile showed traces of tears.

The room was large and empty, various facilities and instruments were operating. There was enough space for Dongfang Yang and four or five more people.

A very soft voice reached his ear, “Do you have a feeling that the space inside is large, but it’s already filled with something?”

Dongfang Yang glanced sideways; the speaker was Fang Ning leaning against the doorframe.

The girl was obediently guarding the outside, her voice kept very low.

Without Dongfang Yang needing to answer, Fang Ning knew that the atmosphere in the room now couldn’t accommodate any outsider.

Filling the air was the overwhelming love pouring out as the young girl poured out her heart, waiting for the other girl to wake up and accept it.
