Peach-Orange! – Chapter 632 – Do You Like Dongfang Yang?

This doesn’t seem right at all, does it?

Dongfang Yang’s gaze settled on Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao.

Almost the moment he saw Su Tao, Chi Xiaocheng’s eyes lit up, and she jogged over again. The tone she used to call “Tao-Tao” was completely different from the one she used to call “Dongfang Yang.”

One was ordinary and flat, treating a friend like normal, joking around.

The other was the joy of something long-awaited.

Not only that, he also saw Su Tao standing in front of Chi Xiaocheng, one hand grasping Chi Xiaocheng’s shoulder, the other gently smoothing out those playful, stray strands of her beautiful hair.

It looked… like a couple?

His mood grew even more complicated.

Lost in his thoughts, both Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao got into the car, and they reminded him simultaneously, “Dongfang Yang, let’s go. We’re going to find Si Chen now.”

Dongfang Yang sighed, “Coming, coming.”

He keenly noticed that Su Tao, who originally sat alone in the passenger seat, was now sitting in the back seat with Chi Xiaocheng.

In his complicated gaze, words seemed to be on the tip of his tongue but remained unspoken.

Before long, they arrived at the hotel private room Si Chen had already booked.

Getting out of the car and greeting his good buddy, Si Chen saw Dongfang Yang looking somewhat gloomy and couldn’t help but ask, “Buddy, you have this expression like you’re questioning life. What happened this time?”

Dongfang Yang glanced at the two girls lagging behind and deliberately lowered his voice, “Si Chen, I suspect the relationship between Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao is really a bit off. It just doesn’t look like sisterly affection, does it?”

Si Chen’s eyes widened upon hearing this. He had a “Seriously, bro?” expression.

He immediately pulled Dongfang Yang aside and said to Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao, “You two go to the private room first. Dongfang Yang and I have something to talk about.”

Then, without waiting for a reply, he pulled Dongfang Yang to the other side of the lobby and asked, “Didn’t I tell you last time? You didn’t believe me?”

He had said long ago that Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao’s relationship was not simple.

Dongfang Yang was momentarily speechless. “At the time, I thought you were interested in Su Tao and were joking with me to get me to back off.”

Si Chen: “…”

He rubbed the back of his head and fell silent.

“Fine then!”

Si Chen exhaled, slowly turned to face Dongfang Yang, took off his suit jacket, and then his white shirt.

— Will Never Love Tao!

Si Chen calmly put his suit jacket back on. “I have long been loyal to Xiaocheng. What I said before was the truth. Those two have been together for a while now. You just refused to believe it.”

“This…”

“What, you couldn’t actually like Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng, could you?”

If that were true, then a VIP seat in the refrigerator would be reserved.

Those two have an abnormal possessiveness towards each other.

Dongfang Yang shook his head and sighed. “If you insist on calling it liking, it’s not really that. I see Su Tao as a little sister. As for Chi Xiaocheng, well, I do have some favorable feelings towards that little one.”

Si Chen raised an eyebrow. “Really just some favorable feelings?”

Dongfang Yang shot Si Chen a disdainful look. “I, Dongfang Yang, am open and aboveboard. Rationally, my self-perception is favorable feelings. If you insist on calling it liking… I haven’t pursued her, we’re not a couple, so where does the liking between a couple come from?”

Si Chen adjusted his glasses. “Having favorable feelings is the precursor to liking. Psychology indicates that this situation generally arises when you have more contact with a person and realize they care about you, which can trigger that kind of impulse in you, leading you to pay attention to them, subconsciously care, and subjectively giving you a feeling that you have favorable feelings towards them, perhaps that you might like them.

“Then, because of your attention, you subconsciously compare her to other women you’ve encountered, especially those who left a deep impression on you and disgusted you. Then you get this feeling: ‘This person is much better than the previous ones,’ and the more you look, the more pleasing they become.”

“This…”

Dongfang Yang looked at his buddy in shock. “You can analyze all that!”

“Learned a thing or two from my great uncle.”

Since finding out Dongfang Wen could confront the World’s Will, Si Chen had long since studied under him, and his expertise in psychology had naturally been growing day by day.

Hearing Si Chen put it this way, Dongfang Yang really felt it was somewhat accurate.

When he first started developing favorable feelings for Chi Xiaocheng, it was precisely because he felt Chi Xiaocheng was different from other women, always comparing her to those annoying women who pestered him.

Add the filter of “Chi Xiaocheng actually likes me,” and slowly he started fantasizing.

There was also a fundamental reason: around him, Dongfang Yang… had no women!

Those who approached him with ulterior motives were all rejected. Usually, he didn’t even want to chat with women, finding it troublesome.

Aside from Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao, the only female friend he could really talk to was Qian Qing.

His feelings towards Qian Qing were actually pretty good; getting along with her felt natural. He had even thought before, if the family pressured him too much about marriage, he could just get together with Qian Qing. At least his wife wouldn’t be a woman he disliked.

But Qian Qing always called him an idiot, a blockhead, brainless, and the like.

Isn’t that just not liking me?

If she liked me, wouldn’t she be constantly praising this young master?

So now, Qian Qing doesn’t like me, Su Tao doesn’t like me… if I had to pick one…

Even though Chi Xiaocheng is very short, but since she probably likes me, she could also marry me, right?

With that kind of thinking, back and forth…

Si Chen said slowly, “I can tell you for sure, those two are already together. If you want to butt in… well, good luck?”

Dongfang Yang was speechless. “Why do you make it sound like I’m doomed? If those two are really a pair, this young master wouldn’t break them up.”

“Then what do you plan to do?”

“What else can I do? I’ll just ask them directly later.”

Dongfang Yang straightened his chest. “If there’s doubt in my heart, I naturally want to clarify it directly.”

Si Chen: “But what if they really are a couple?”

Dongfang Yang smiled. “That’s fine too. After all, Su Tao genuinely treats Chi Xiaocheng well.”

He still remembered that rainy night.

Even though influenced by the World’s Will, Su Tao was forced to side with Ye Liang.

Yet when something happened to Chi Xiaocheng, she resolutely stood by Chi Xiaocheng’s side.

Dongfang Yang put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the elevator.

Si Chen shook his head helplessly behind him.

Pity, young man. In the end, you won’t get a satisfactory answer.

He took out his phone and made a call.

“Hey, Si Chen, why are you calling me?”

“Qian Qing, you like Dongfang Yang, right?”

As soon as Si Chen said this, the tone on the phone immediately became flustered.

Qian Qing: “Y-y-you, what are you talking about? Who likes that blockhead Dongfang Yang? A stubborn, brainless guy. I really don’t know who would like him? Don’t make baseless accusations!”

Si Chen: “Then I’m taking Dongfang Yang to the foot-washing parlor tonight for a wash.”

Qian Qing: “?”

Qian Qing: “ 你是人我吃！ “ ¹ this doesn’t translate to anything, so I’m leaving it in Chinese. Literally translation is: You is human I eat

Si Chen: “The truth?”

Qian Qing: “I… fine, I like him. But so what? He’s the young master of the Dongfang family in the capital. I’m just a nobody from a third-rate family. I don’t know why you’re saying all this, but I do have self-awareness. If I really pursued him, not only would it ruin this friendship and put him in an awkward position, but he would also face gossip from his family. Even if we really got together, someone as lowly as me would only be a burden by his side, all harm and no benefit.”

Qian Qing: “So, why are you asking me this?”
