Peach-Orange! – Chapter 568 – What if I Must Go?

Su Tao naturally knew the current situation. Like Chi Xiaocheng, she was also concerned about Chi Song.

Hadn’t this older brother always cared for her since they were young?

However, she wanted even less for Chi Xiaocheng to get hurt and was also very afraid of accidents.

Just like the literal meaning said before, if something happened to Xiaocheng, then this world would restart, and all previous efforts would be wasted.

Su Tao was truly scared this time.

She would rather go out herself to find and rescue Chi Song than let Chi Xiaocheng take the risk.

Therefore, this time, facing Chi Xiaocheng’s shocked and somewhat angry gaze, Su Tao did not back down.

She slowly said to Chi Xiaocheng, “Xiaocheng, I can understand how you feel, but you need to know that if something happens to you, everything is gone.”

“But he is my brother!”

Chi Xiaocheng shouted sharply, also looking up to meet Su Tao’s gaze without backing down.

She wanted to see more emotion in Su Tao’s eyes, to see the other’s wavering, and then find a way together to go out and save brother.

Yet, the more this impulsive moment required emotional intensity, Su Tao, who had already acted impulsively countless times, became calm and said, “He is also my brother, I care about him too, but my stance remains the same: Xiaocheng, you are not allowed to go out.”

“Right now, there aren’t even any surveillance personnel outside. Xiao Hei has also scouted the area. Even if we go out, we can disguise ourselves!”

Su Tao: “That still won’t do. Knowing that this place is absolutely safe, then there is no need to take those risks.”

Chi Xiaocheng’s pupils contracted again, and she involuntarily took half a step back.

She admitted that staying inside the room was still the safest and the best choice currently.

Su Tao’s thinking was also the most rational.

This was the final cycle. If they failed this time, there would be no more chances to try again.

Everything would become unchangeable, and brother would also die in the original world.

But…

But!

Precisely because this is the final cycle, if brother dies too, wouldn’t he leave me forever?

What I want is not a lonely, ordinary world with just me and Tao-Tao.

But a world where all the people I care about are happy and fulfilled!

Right now is not the time for real anger and arguments.

Chi Xiaocheng closed her eyes, exhaled a long breath, and argued very seriously with Su Tao, “Tao-Tao, I really can understand your intentions, but if we hide now, what about brother? Are we just going to leave brother alone, let them be pursued and killed by Ye Er in the end, ultimately meeting death?”

She continued, “You need to know, if it weren’t for brother and Brother Long, there might not be us now. We would have long been killed by the World Will, and then this world would have restarted!”

“I understand.” Su Tao also took a breath. “That’s why we should choose to believe in Si Chen and Dongfang Yang instead.”

“Um…” Si Chen’s voice came from the phone call that hadn’t been hung up. “Although I don’t want to interrupt you lovebirds quarreling… but a fact I have to mention is, if Dongfang Yang and I really had a way, we wouldn’t have told you about this matter.”

How could he not know that after saying this, Chi Xiaocheng might act impulsively and ruin the plan that was already halfway done?

But if they really kept it a secret and caused Chi Song’s death, the resulting outcome would be even more irreversible.

Si Chen sighed again, “I really can’t free myself to deal with Ye Er. Dongfang Yang is being pestered by the clan elders sent by the Dongfang family from the capital. The purpose is clearly to stop him from causing trouble regarding Ye Er’s affairs.”

Su Tao opened her mouth, “Then… Xiao Hei.”

Chi Xiaocheng frowned, “Xiao Hei cannot go too far from my side. Operating within a few hundred meters is already the limit.”

Now, it was Su Tao’s turn to be silenced.

From any perspective, whether humanitarian, emotional, or relational, they should go save Chi Song.

But from the most rational perspective, Chi Song… cannot be saved.

Should they follow emotion, or follow reason?

Su Tao fell into entanglement. Facing Chi Xiaocheng’s interrogating, questioning gaze, she still couldn’t help but give in, “We can go save Brother Chi Song, but Xiaocheng, you cannot go.”

“?”

Chi Xiaocheng looked at Su Tao puzzled, as if asking, if I don’t go, how can we save brother?

Su Tao said seriously, “Xiaocheng, you continue hiding here. I will go save Brother Chi Song.”

Her final bottom line was: as long as nothing happens to Chi Xiaocheng, anything else is acceptable.

They could ask Special Envoy Qiu for some personnel. If Si Chen and Dongfang Yang could squeeze out some people, that would be even better.

Necessary items could be created by Xiao Hei.

Moreover, there was another very important point.

That was her father’s forces.

Perhaps due to trust in blood ties, Su Tao remembered the last time at the banquet, that person who claimed to be sent by her father to protect her, the martial artist.

If that person was genuine, then as long as they could contact him, there was still a chance.

It wasn’t necessarily that this situation was truly a dead end.

But she actually also knew that, just as she didn’t want Chi Xiaocheng to face danger,

The girl also didn’t want her to face danger.

“No!”

These two words were also shouted out discontentedly by Chi Xiaocheng.

“You go save brother, what if you get hurt!”

“Then have you considered my feelings? Xiaocheng, if you get hurt, if something happens to you, what should I do!”

“I am smarter and more capable than you, Tao-Tao, so I should go, not you!”

Hearing this, Su Tao fell silent for a moment.

She knew that continuing like this would turn into an argument.

An argument born of mutual concern.

So, she went to the storage room and found a small dumbbell.

Then she came back to stand in front of Chi Xiaocheng.

She gripped both ends of the small dumbbell with her hands.

War God bloodline, activate!

Her eyes instantly turned red, veins bulged on her arms, and then, the middle part of the dumbbell actually began to bend!

The originally very hard and straight dumbbell, touched by Su Tao like this, immediately convulsed and went soft.

Then, Su Tao raised an eyebrow and looked at Chi Xiaocheng.

As if saying: You are stronger than me, are you serious?

Chi Xiaocheng slowly made a question mark gesture towards Su Tao and also said, “I have Xiao Hei, how am I not stronger than you? Do you think brute strength alone is useful?”

“I… Anyway, Xiaocheng, you are not allowed to go. If anyone goes, it should be me.”

“Then let’s go together. I’ll protect Tao-Tao.”

“Going together is also not allowed!”

“Then what do you want to do!”

At this point, Chi Xiaocheng was also getting a little angry.

She had never been someone who overly cared about herself.

She had always cared about Su Tao far more than she cared about herself.

She cared about those who cared about her.

And now, you want me to abandon brother and cowardly hide here?

Su Tao knew she couldn’t win an argument against Chi Xiaocheng; she admitted her brain wasn’t as good as the girl in front of her.

But, she had her own persistence too.

She stood alone in front of Chi Xiaocheng, not moving, as if blocking the way out, her attitude clear.

Chi Xiaocheng lowered her eyes, bit her lip, and said, “Tao-Tao, what if… I must go?”
