Peach-Orange! – Chapter 631 – The Person Xiaocheng Likes (One Year Anniversary!)

Dongfang Yang couldn’t help but think of that little one who always wore an orange jacket, timid and adorable.

He still remembered the first time he truly imprinted this little one in his mind. It was when she was being bullied by her roommates and, for the first time, removed the ghostly-looking makeup to reveal her bare face.

At that time, he was extremely shocked, thinking how could such an adorable little one be Chi Xiaocheng!

But after the surprise came gradual understanding and acceptance. He got to know Chi Xiaocheng’s character: always being bullied, timid, cute, delicate, shy… not many people to rely on. And the most important, most crucial point was:

Chi Xiaocheng had a crush on him.

But every time he thought of this, Dongfang Yang would look at Su Tao with complicated feelings. He still hadn’t forgotten that scene last time, whether it was a misunderstanding or not.

Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng didn’t seem to have a sisterly relationship.

Emotionally, he believed it was just a misunderstanding. Otherwise, if Chi Xiaocheng liked Su Tao, how could her longstanding crush on him, Dongfang Yang, be explained?

But rationally, including what he saw with his own eyes, it always lingered in his mind, unable to be dispelled.

And under the influence of that mysterious force, Xiao Hei, Chi Xiaocheng finally began to gradually change her “anyone can hit and bully her” personality. She started transforming towards normalcy, increasingly showing her tough side.

Now, with the great enemy, the World Will, looming over everyone, everyone was striving to deal with it. How could he, Dongfang Yang, let personal feelings affect others?

So, even though he had doubts in his heart, and even though he did have considerable fondness for Chi Xiaocheng, he had never shown too much of it.

Only…

“Sigh!”

Dongfang Yang glanced at Su Tao again, the entanglement in his heart growing stronger.

Su Tao also noticed Dongfang Yang’s unusual state and couldn’t help but ask with concern, “What’s wrong? Did you eat too much, or is it because of that last drink before leaving?”

Su Tao had asked Dongfang Yang to take her to see her father, Su Dingtian.

They talked quite a bit and then had a meal together.

This young master was quite hungry at the time and ate a lot. Su Dingtian’s subordinates kept toasting, but Dongfang Yang had to drive, so he didn’t drink a single drop the entire time.

In the end, thinking he couldn’t let everyone lose face, he drank half a small cup just before leaving.

Well, a low-alcohol fruit wine.

With his tolerance honed from socializing with various major families, a tiny half-cup of wine naturally had no effect.

However, facing Su Tao’s concern, Dongfang Yang only opened his mouth slightly, not fully speaking his mind.

His mood was a bit complicated.

Whether it was Chi Xiaocheng or Su Tao, even setting aside that part of his fondness, both were like little sisters he cared deeply about.

Tsk!

Dongfang Yang decided that after meeting Chi Xiaocheng later, he would subtly display his masculine charm to confirm Chi Xiaocheng’s true feelings.

If the little one really liked him immensely, after the World Will was defeated, he could consider marriage, right?

Thinking this, Dongfang Yang’s mood improved again, and he drove happily.

Soon, they arrived at the café where Chi Xiaocheng had been waiting.

Yes, to avoid being noticed by the shop staff, Chi Xiaocheng had deliberately made a detour to a café on the next street at the back. Seeing the eye-catching sports car and the widened eyes of passersby, Chi Xiaocheng knew Dongfang Yang had arrived.

“Yo, Chi Xiaocheng!” Dongfang Yang opened the car door and got out, his right index finger hooked through the key ring.

He also used one hand to brush back his bangs, his eyes becoming deep as he closed and opened them. “Chi Xiaocheng, are you okay? Things like this should be left to Si Chen. Why are you doing this yourself? What if something unexpected happened?”

So caring. This young master could be considered a gentleman. If Chi Xiaocheng has a crush on me, she’ll definitely be captivated, right?

Chi Xiaocheng stopped in front of the car and looked him up and down blankly. “Dongfang Yang, the way you talk is so weird. Do you have a sore throat lately?”

Dongfang Yang’s nose reddened, and his whole body stiffened on the spot.

This…

Beating is an act of love, scolding is an act of care, and lecturing counts as thoughtful concern?

Maybe Chi Xiaocheng is tsundere, just not showing it in front of Su Tao.

However, when Su Tao got out from the other side door and that little orange one bloomed into a flowery smile. Dongfang Yang’s heart stopped.

P.S.: August 24th. Before I knew it, it’s been a year since this book started. August 24th last year was the day it began, so I set Tao-Tao’s real birthday at this moment. Time really flies. The main storyline is actually close to completion.

A lot has happened over the year. Really, thank you all very much for your support of the author and Xiaocheng. Here’s a celebratory illustration. The author will continue to make this story move forward.

Finally, happy birthday, Tao-Tao.
