Peach-Orange! – Chapter 628 – Luo Ying’s Big Problem!

“Xiaocheng!”

As evening approached, Su Tao, holding a tablet, cheerfully skipped over to Chi Xiaocheng. “Xiaocheng, I’ve decided what we’re going to perform for the evening party!”

However, when Su Tao saw that Chi Xiaocheng had changed into an inconspicuous black hooded jacket, she hesitantly asked, “Are you planning to go out, Xiaocheng? Where to?”

Chi Xiaocheng replied, “I found out earlier that Luo Ying meets with someone every other night. Today, she just happens to be going out for her part-time job again. I’m planning to follow and take a look.”

Su Tao was momentarily speechless, a trace of worry appearing on her face. “Isn’t that dangerous? Maybe I should go with you?”

“Tao-Tao, you can’t hide yourself. And what danger could there be? I’ll just be hiding in the shadows. The peeking and eavesdropping will all be done by Xiao Hei. After all, others can’t see Xiao Hei.”

As if to reassure Su Tao, Xiao Hei’s voice appeared in the empty room, even though her form was not visible. “Don’t worry, I’ll protect her.”

“Alright then.” Seeing Chi Xiaocheng’s determination, Su Tao nodded. “It works out anyway; I’m going to see my father tonight to ask about the recent situation. Xiaocheng, you must be careful, okay?”

She knew these things were unavoidable.

To have a stable life, they had to defeat the World Will.

In the past, this goal seemed unreachable.

Now, they could already see the dawn. Of course, they wouldn’t want to give up any opportunity.

Chi Xiaocheng finished putting on her clothes and gave Su Tao a sweet smile. “It’s the final stretch. If things go smoothly, it should be mostly resolved within these two months. By the way, Tao-Tao, what kind of performance are you planning?”

The topic shifted, and Su Tao handed the tablet to Chi Xiaocheng, adding, “Not me, it’s us.”

Chi Xiaocheng looked at the tablet and read the words on it aloud, “Romeo and Juliet vs. The Evil Dragon, Modified Version?”

Such a long name!

She glanced over it. It was basically the story of Romeo and Juliet, but with an evil dragon kidnapping Juliet, and Romeo going to rescue her….

Su Tao said, “I found it online. It suits our identities and has potential. Don’t you think it would be perfect if we invited Luo Ying to play the evil dragon?”

Luo Ying represents the Young Lady, represents the World Will, and thus is the evil dragon.

Xiaocheng is Juliet, captured by the evil dragon.

And she, herself, would be Romeo, wreaking havoc!

Chi Xiaocheng glanced at Su Tao, momentarily speechless. “Theoretically, it would be more novel than a traditional performance, but… can it really win first place?”

She hadn’t forgotten that Su Tao’s goal was the 5,000 yuan prize for first place.

Unexpectedly, Su Tao looked at her seriously. “I looked at the program list. Forget cross-talk, there isn’t even a single sketch. There are tons of singing, dancing, magic shows, fashion shows, and the like. Normally, winning might not be certain. I think taking this unconventional path gives us a better chance of getting first place!”

Alright, it seems she had thought it through rationally.

But since it made Tao-Tao happy, she could go along with it.

Chi Xiaocheng: “Then send me the script and lines later, Tao-Tao. I’ll head out now.”

“Xiaocheng, wait. We’ll need to schedule some time to rehearse, right?”

“Rehearse what? It’s just a measly little role. I can handle it easily.”

Come on, she had intermediate-level acting skills!

If she pretended, even if the real Romeo time-traveled here, he wouldn’t be able to tell she wasn’t Juliet.

Casually tying her hair into a ponytail and taking off the orange hair clip, her completely different outfit from usual, plus the hood, made it harder for others to recognize her as Chi Xiaocheng based on her usual features.

Taking out her phone, Chi Xiaocheng, through King’s bell, discovered that Luo Ying was about to go out.

She was currently saying something to King.

“You want to come out with me too? No way. I’m going out to work. What would it look like bringing a cat?”

King had evolved.

From Xiaocheng’s family cat, to a stray cat.

And from a stray cat, to Luo Ying’s family cat.

Over the past couple of days, she had discovered through the bell that Luo Ying had even specially made a little nest for King.

The reason given was that she could tell King was originally a pet, and she would foster it at home until she found its despicable owner.

After a few days of spying, Chi Xiaocheng found that Luo Ying seemed pretty normal at home, with no connection to the Young Lady at all.

If it weren’t for the current contact person and the previous suspicious signs, she would have doubted if her guess was wrong.

King was also very sensible, putting on a full act of cuteness, trying its hardest to go out with Luo Ying.

If successful, with the monitoring bell, Chi Xiaocheng could clearly hear everything Luo Ying and her contact discussed.

But there was no ‘if’.

Even with King’s cuteness, Luo Ying didn’t take her out.

Seeing Luo Ying leave, leaving King alone at home, Chi Xiaocheng also went out.

She first lurked across from the café where Luo Ying worked.

For this, Chi Xiaocheng even used some of the money she had obtained earlier through hacking to book a small private booth on the second floor by the window.

In terms of money, she wasn’t really short. She had saved up nearly twenty thousand from secretly using her hacking skills for side jobs before.

But Su Tao was more self-reliant. This money didn’t come from a completely legitimate source and could expose her system’s secrets, so it wasn’t easy to give to Su Tao.

Otherwise, why would Su Tao need to earn money?

But right now, the focus was still on Luo Ying and the World Will.

“Xiao Hei, I’m counting on you.”

Chi Xiaocheng slowly kept watch by the window, thinking it would probably take quite a long time.

Thus, in the café, besides the coming and going customers, there was also a ghost that no one could see.

Time slowly passed until 10 o’clock.

“Her shift is over. Nothing suspicious seen so far.”

Xiao Hei sent the message. Chi Xiaocheng had also been sitting in this booth for several hours. She shifted her position slightly and said slowly, “No rush. Chen Qian said the meeting place isn’t at the café.”

Yes, every night, after getting off work and before returning to the dormitory, Luo Ying would spend a few minutes at a dessert shop.

That’s a calorie bomb.

Eating it every day, as a girl, is that normal?

Gathering her things, Chi Xiaocheng went out.

“See you tomorrow~”

Luo Ying said goodbye to the other staff, carrying her small backpack, and headed in the direction of the school.

Chi Xiaocheng, hidden in the darkness, inconspicuously followed behind.

Not long after, they arrived at the dessert shop.

Luo Ying chatted and laughed with a familiar staff member there, made a purchase, and then…

They walked together into the back room of the shop!

Seeing this, Chi Xiaocheng’s heart tightened. “Xiao Hei, what are they talking about? Can you follow them?”

Xiao Hei: “That woman said she had a big treasure to show Luo Ying and asked her to come to the back room together.”

Chi Xiaocheng: “?”

Xiao Hei: “But don’t worry. Unless the World Will personally possesses her, it won’t be able to detect my presence.”

As she spoke, Xiao Hei followed behind Luo Ying, her body passing through the wall into the break room.

However, the very first sentence spoken by the previously smiling and chatting server caused Xiao Hei to open her mouth in surprise.

“Luo Ying, how are things going on Chi Xiaocheng’s side now?”
