Peach-Orange! – Chapter 622 – Luo Ying’s Visit

In the end, Chi Xiaocheng still couldn’t win against Su Tao.

Facing her beloved, although it wasn’t ideal during the daytime, Chi Xiaocheng still let Su Tao kiss her lips to her heart’s content.

If not for that annoying World Will, and fools like Ye Liang and Chu Lingfeng, living like ordinary people, even without the help of Dongfang Yang and Si Chen and the others, starting from scratch and working hard together, the life they could have would be incredibly enjoyable.

It’s just a pity that the current crisis still remains.

But looking at it another way, even with such a crisis, they can still have these ordinary moments. Doesn’t that make it all the more precious?

After being lovey-dovey for a while, as night fell, the arrival of an unexpected guest surprised both Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao.

Luo Ying!

She had actually come in person.

Since they were at school and didn’t feel like going out to buy groceries for the time being, they had ordered a few stir-fried dishes for delivery and cooked a pot of rice themselves.

It was right during dinner that the door was knocked.

Chi Xiaocheng thought it was another delivery arriving, so she ran to open the door. But upon seeing the visitor, she was completely dumbfounded for a moment.

A girl with ancient ink-black hair stood at the door wearing black-framed glasses, holding a bag of fruit in her hand.

Noticing Chi Xiaocheng’s astonished expression, Luo Ying gave an awkward smile. “Yo, good evening.”

“Huh? Xiaocheng, who is it?” Su Tao, holding chopsticks, asked curiously.

The moment Chi Xiaocheng stepped aside, Su Tao also froze for a second, then immediately threw the chopsticks in her hand.

The chopsticks shot out like bullets, instantly flying past both sides of Luo Ying’s shoulders and hitting the wall behind her.

With two thuds, the simple wooden chopsticks couldn’t withstand the concrete wall’s solidity and shattered into pieces in that instant, the debris even hitting Luo Ying’s back.

The girl almost instinctively shrunk her neck and closed her eyes in fear.

Belatedly noticing Su Tao’s expression, she quickly cried out, “Don’t… don’t attack! I came to apologize!”

“Hmph!” Su Tao gave a light snort and walked back to the kitchen to get another pair of chopsticks.

Luo Ying had once misled her, almost causing an accident between her and Chi Xiaocheng. Her impression of this person wasn’t good, and she agreed with Si Chen’s view that if you don’t know someone’s identity, it’s better to kill them first and ask questions later.

It was just that Chi Xiaocheng was willing to give Luo Ying a chance.

She thought if Luo Ying died just like that without luring out the Young Lady, it would be too much of a loss.

As for Chi Xiaocheng, she observed Luo Ying’s reaction from beside the door.

She didn’t seem like someone with a special identity.

Moreover, those fearful instinctive movements didn’t seem fake.

She stepped aside and said to Luo Ying, “Come in first.”

After all, it wasn’t a detached apartment; there were neighbors next door.

Luo Ying also breathed a sigh of relief and walked in with the fruit. “Speaking of which, Su Tao, you actually know martial arts? That’s amazing.”

Su Tao, after getting new chopsticks, continued eating and glanced at Luo Ying without saying anything more.

Chi Xiaocheng also sat back in her original seat and continued eating as well.

This made Luo Ying very awkward.

She was being given the cold shoulder.

Fortunately, she wasn’t the thin-skinned type. She went to the other side of the dining table, took out the fruit, and said, “I don’t have much money, so I just bought some oranges as a gift.”

The two still didn’t speak.

Luo Ying: “Actually, I originally wanted to buy some peaches too, but I looked around and didn’t see any.”

The two silently served each other food and continued eating.

Luo Ying: “Um… these oranges are round and look quite cute, right?”

Not only did the two serve each other food, they even started feeding each other.

This left Luo Ying in silence.

Out of helplessness, she said quietly, “How about I also get a pair of chopsticks and eat with you?”

At this point, Chi Xiaocheng finally looked at Luo Ying again. “We considered you a good friend back then. And what did you do? Driving a wedge between me and Tao-Tao. What did that Young Lady promise you, to take such a risk? You should know, if the situation hadn’t been urgent at the time, Dongfang Yang and Si Chen wouldn’t have let you go.”

Chi Xiaocheng’s words drew Su Tao’s attention.

She hadn’t expected Chi Xiaocheng to speak so frankly.

Wouldn’t she probe Luo Ying first?

What Su Tao didn’t realize was that these words were actually part of the probing.

Luo Ying looked utterly bewildered. “Wh…what Young Lady? And risk? Also, driving a wedge and such, there’s… there’s no need to put it so harshly, right? Weren’t you two having a conflict back then? I was just giving you a helping hand.”

Su Tao gave an unhappy hum. “A helping hand?”

Luo Ying nodded. “Yes, you were having a conflict then, and didn’t trust each other much. What I told Su Tao back then was to, um… test the emotional bond and trust between you. It seemed like driving a wedge, but actually, after you both realized the other’s importance, my role came into play.”

She chuckled. “See, now your relationship is like a rainbow after the storm, isn’t it?”

It was as if she was saying that without the mess she caused back then, the two of them might not be so good now.

Chi Xiaocheng looked at her speechlessly. “You certainly know how to twist words.”

“That’s how it really is!” Luo Ying even mustered the courage to glare at Su Tao. “And you had people tie me up! Those days, I really thought… I thought I was going to lose my mind. Surrounded by gangsters, didn’t I just, didn’t I just…”

“Didn’t I just, for the first time in real life, meet two girls, and such a beautifully matched pair at that, and then think about having some fun…”

Her voice grew even weaker, and the last part was almost inaudible to anyone but herself.

But Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao were not ordinary people, so they heard it clearly.

Having some fun?

Rеаⅾ оn КatRеαⅾіոɡСafе

You say you’re a fun-seeker? Do you even believe that yourself?

She instinctively felt Luo Ying was lying.

But she couldn’t see any signs of her lying at all.

Su Tao had studied acting, though not for very long.

Chi Xiaocheng even had an Intermediate Acting skill!

They could easily tell if someone was lying.

But right now, Luo Ying’s behavior really didn’t give anything away.

Could it be that she wanted to have fun and just happened to run into the Young Lady and the World Will’s scheme?

Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao exchanged a glance. Neither had let down their guard against Luo Ying internally.

If you didn’t have those hundreds of identities, hundreds of families, and hundreds of fathers, you could still try to explain it away as coincidence and misunderstanding. But now… ha.

If she’s not someone close to the Young Lady, then she’s an important pawn of the World Will. That identity cannot be dismissed!

Chi Xiaocheng just coldly uttered three words, “So what?”

“So, I really just came to apologize!” Luo Ying was practically on the verge of kneeling, looking sincere. “It was a misunderstanding to begin with, and I really don’t want to ruin our relationship. How about I bare my belly, and we let bygones be bygones?”
