Peach-Orange! – Chapter 555 – Dealing with Luo Ying

Under thick bangs, a simple black-framed glasses seemed to press down on the girl’s outstanding appearance, making her look a bit old-fashioned.

However, those cherry-colored, slightly thick lips and almond-shaped eyes with a bit of peach-red still retained a striking sense of beauty at first glance.

Su Tao’s surprise regarding the girl certainly wasn’t about her working part-time at this milk tea shop.

Rather, she and Chi Xiaocheng had previously discussed and analyzed it.

This Luo Ying was very likely on the World Will’s side.

Or it should be said, she belongs to that young lady, or, slightly less likely, to that head maid Song Liyin!

Of course, this wasn’t absolute.

It’s just that both of them felt Luo Ying wasn’t quite an ordinary person.

Su Tao really didn’t want to engage with her, but now that they were recognized, leaving hastily might be risky. If the other party really was the young lady’s person, and made a phone call, wouldn’t everything they did next be in vain?

Thinking of this, Su Tao gave a slight squeeze to the hand holding Chi Xiaocheng’s, giving a hint, then looked up and smiled at Luo Ying, trying her best to use acting skills to cover her embarrassment, “You saw through it, Luo Ying. I thought no one would recognize our disguises tonight.”

“Huh?” Luo Ying tilted her head in confusion, “So what game are you playing with these outfits tonight?”

Su Tao nodded helplessly, “It’s all because of Xiaocheng. She said she wanted to play something different. So we did each other’s makeup and dressed up, then planned to go home. Whoever gets recognized by an acquaintance loses.”

Chi Xiaocheng softly chimed in from the side, “Hehe, Tao Tao, the loser has to accept punishment when we get home later~”

Su Tao appropriately blushed again.

This made Luo Ying roll her eyes in speechlessness, “You didn’t deliberately walk around near the school, did you? Using us passersby as tools for your flirting, are you serious?”

This is simply beastly behavior!

Su Tao changed the subject, “What about you, Luo Ying, what are you doing here?”

Luo Ying lifted the tray in her hand, “As you see, working part-time.”

“Part-time job?”

“Yeah, you didn’t think just because I’m an exchange student, I must be some rich young lady, did you? Apart from tuition, I have to cover all my living expenses myself.”

She let out a long sigh and couldn’t help but look up at the sky, “I really wish someone would just take care of me. Trying so hard is really too tiring.”

Chi Xiaocheng interjected from the side, “Um… actually, with your conditions, Luo Ying, finding someone to take care of you would be too easy.”

“Compared to you two, I’m just a sweet potato.”

“It’s probably not that bad, really.”

In Chi Xiaocheng’s eyes, Luo Ying’s external conditions were still quite good.

Her height was probably 1.69 meters, or a full 1.7 meters, seemingly a bit taller than Su Tao.

Also, although she always wore loose clothes, she had curves in the right places and was slim where needed, with incredibly good skin, though she herself was quite reserved.

As for looks, because she doesn’t really dress up, she’s mid-to-upper level, but clearly the type that grows on you the more you look.

Luo Ying shrugged, “I’ve tried going without makeup, but it’s sadly lacking. I still need to wear a bit.”

Indeed, traces of makeup could be seen on her face, not too light, not too heavy, just moderate.

Then, this waitress holding the tray turned sideways, “Want to come in for a cup of milk tea? The boss isn’t here, I can secretly give you a freebie.”

Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng exchanged a glance, “Okay!”

“Then wait a moment, I’ll make it.”

Sitting down at a table, they purposely chose one a bit farther from the counter.

Chi Xiaocheng said in her heart, “Xiao Hei, keep an eye on Luo Ying. If she shows any impulse to take out her phone and report, act immediately.”

“Okay.”

Xiao Hei appeared beside Luo Ying, slowly pulling out a fruit knife.

Chi Xiaocheng immediately had a question mark in her mind, “I meant for you to knock her out, not kill her!”

She wasn’t the kind of person who would kill indiscriminately.

However, Xiao Hei didn’t obey and just said in a voice only Chi Xiaocheng could hear, “It’s fine, I’ll test something first.”

She had a strange idea, but wasn’t sure.

So, while Luo Ying was fiddling with the milk tea, she pressed the tip of the fruit knife against her throat, right in front of her windpipe, just one centimeter away from cutting her neck.

Even a strand of hair from the girl’s head fell onto the knife.

The girl couldn’t see Xiao Hei, so naturally had no reaction to this death threat.

Then, as Luo Ying turned around, Xiao Hei suddenly withdrew the fruit knife, then aimed it at her eyes, thrusting forward with a large, sudden movement!

“Whoosh—!”

The knife stopped just one centimeter in front of her eyes.

Throughout this entire process, Luo Ying didn’t blink or flinch reflexively.

Instead, due to the action of pouring milk tea, she actually lowered her head towards the knife.

Xiao Hei swiftly moved the knife away.

“Was it just my imagination?”

Now she could be sure that the other party truly couldn’t see her.

Otherwise, faced with such a close death threat, it’s impossible for anyone not to have any subconscious reaction.

“Maybe I overthought it.”

Xiao Hei became a camera, watching every move of this girl with a complex expression from beside Luo Ying.

On the other side, Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng were also discussing in low voices.

How exactly should they deal with Luo Ying.

If the other party is the young lady’s person, and has now discovered the two of them, she might report it.

Once reported, all the preparations made earlier would come to nothing!

“How about, directly…”

Su Tao made a slight throat-slitting gesture towards Chi Xiaocheng.

The first method left Chi Xiaocheng silent, “Tao Tao, when did you become so extreme?”

“Not really. It was this Luo Ying who misled me before, making me fall for that World Will’s trick. I could tell at a glance she’s not a good person. Better to kill by mistake than let go.”

Just asking Si Chen for help, then pinning this deed on the Dragon King Xiao Ming, and disposing of the body would be too simple.

More importantly, only after eliminating these threats could Xiaocheng be truly safe.

Having killed in reality and in dreams, under repeated pain and despair, Su Tao herself didn’t realize that her mindset had actually changed.

Chi Xiaocheng let out a helpless sigh, thinking Su Tao was just joking, “Tao Tao, what if Luo Ying is a good person? Killing is unacceptable anywhere.”

“But in that dream, in the original work, didn’t they also kill you, Xiaocheng?”

If conditions allowed, Su Tao really wanted to eliminate the threat directly.

And all this was to protect Xiaocheng.

However, Chi Xiaocheng didn’t want to do this. Instead, she slowly said, “Then how about we knock Luo Ying out and lock her up?”

“Lock her up?”

“Yeah, we can’t let her report, and we need to avoid potential risks later. If Si Chen can’t come, then we trick her into coming to our home, and then…”

Once at home, in the safe house where no one knows, wouldn’t they be free to do whatever they want?
