He said, "Then just do it. What does it have to do with me?"

Asahi Aoi glanced at Natsugiri Kai and then left.

Xia Wuzhao simply watched her back without saying a word.

But deep down, I felt a sense of relief.

Seeing that once gloomy girl now shine so brightly, Xia Wuzhao felt proud and gratified no matter what.

Xiao Ai, however, felt that Xia Wu's mentality was somewhat problematic.

—Because he seemed not to be looking at a person, but rather at a glittering work of art encased in amber.

Chapter 135 What I hold in my hands is coldness and radiance.

The atmosphere in the second class was calm and peaceful, just like always.

Everyone felt it was a bit hot, and it only got a little better after opening the windows.

A gentle breeze was blowing outside, carrying a slight chill.

Everyone felt a bit happier.

However, Chiho felt uneasy.

She knew that something was bound to happen soon.

But all we can do is watch.

I felt both apprehensive and somewhat expectant.

It's like they've given up entirely.

Of course she knew what was going on.

The most painful time when one is dying is the time of waiting.

She glanced at Xia Wuzhao, only to find that Xia Wuzhao wasn't even looking at her.

The girl didn't know what she was feeling.

I suddenly felt a little disappointed.

"This is normal, after all, our relationship used to be quite close. We were practically lovers, but now we have no idea what we are."

"It's like a complete stranger! Of course I'm disappointed, of course I'm sad."

"But I'll probably be sad forever afterward."

She knew that Xia Wuzhao's actions were perfectly reasonable, but just thinking about it made the girl feel a little bitter and sad.

I almost burst into tears.

Even at the very end, she maintained her gentle, angelic smile.

He looked like a good child who was paying close attention in class.

However, she was thinking, "Perhaps I should do something, perhaps I should try to salvage the current situation."

But after thinking about it just once, she felt apprehensive again.

"If I really did that, I would probably feel very sorry for my mother."

She was terrified.

Just thinking about her mother made her feel suffocated by the enormous debt called "love".

She clearly understood what she should do, what she was capable of doing, yet she chose to do nothing.

How tragic.

When the second period ended, her mother was already waiting outside.

She kept glancing inside, drawing stares from everyone else.

Then, with a playful smile, she looked at Chiho.

Chiho listened to the lesson silently, her body ramrod straight.

The girl could feel her mother's gaze, which was constantly piercing her.

The gaze didn't shift until get out of class ended.

As the teacher was leaving, Yoshiko stopped her.

She was also carrying a box of high-end fruit, tied with a ribbon, and the receipt was inside.

"Teacher, take it. Take it."

She said in a somewhat humble tone, "I bought this especially for you. I'm so grateful for your help these past few days, teacher. How has my daughter been doing?"

The teacher looked at the fruit and felt extremely embarrassed.

She declined, saying, "No need, Kirishima-mama. Really, no need."

The two declined each other's offer for a while, neither willing to take over.

This attracted the attention of others who kept staring at him.

Kirishima Yoshiko felt a little embarrassed and said, "It's just a small gift, please accept it, teacher."

He forcefully handed the bag to the teacher, and even though the teacher refused several times, he couldn't get the bag back.

She could only awkwardly accept it, feeling somewhat at a loss.

After seeing that the teacher had received the gift, Kirishima Yoshiko still bowed slightly.

But there was no longer any subservient expression on her face. Instead, she spoke in a commanding tone: "Teacher, how has my daughter been lately?"

The teacher frowned slightly, but having accepted Kirishima Yoshiko's gift, she could only say, "Kirishima Chiho, you're doing well lately. Nothing's changed from before."

"Is there really no difference? I recently heard that she's always walking with a guy."

Yoshiko Kirishima said that on purpose.

Chiho simply smiled gently, as if she hadn't heard anything.

But I felt sad inside. If it were anyone else, seeing their mother so humble and servile in giving gifts to others...

They would only feel extremely ashamed and embarrassed.

Chiho felt sad that her mother was being so humble, just to give the gift to the teacher.

Then, you can control the teacher.

"How sad, Mom. You always resort to these little tricks, you always do this."

She thought about it, but could only lower her eyelids.

Those around them gasped slightly upon hearing Kirishima Yoshiko's words and all turned to look at Natsuki Kai.

They all knew that before, Chiho's closest friend was Natsuki Kai.

However, Xia Wuzhao did not react at all, and simply calmly turned the pages of the book.

The teacher frowned and said, "I didn't know anything about this. Chiho is no different from before. Her studies are going very well."

Yoshiko Kirishima, however, only pressed on, "Really not? Really, really not?"

She was still somewhat unwilling to give up, even though the teacher had clearly stated that there was no problem.

But she kept pestering him.

The teacher was already getting impatient and had some complaints in her heart.

At this age, it would be strange if you weren't in a relationship!

She even wanted to return the gift in her hand to Kirishima Yoshiko.

But Kirishima Yoshiko's originally domineering attitude instantly turned back into her initial humble demeanor.

"Teacher, please accept it. How can you take back something you've given away?"

As she spoke, she pushed the gift into the teacher's hands again.

The teacher, somewhat annoyed, said, "Never mind, Kirishima's mother. I have other things to do, I have to go."

After saying that, she put the gift box on the ground and left.

Kirishima Yoshiko's face was very unpleasant, and she looked somewhat resentful.

He was staring at Xia Wuzhao again.

"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, my daughter wouldn't have gone astray. If my daughter hadn't gone astray, would the teacher have treated me like this?"

Yoshiko Kirishima was furious and blamed everything on Kai Natsugiri.

However, Natsumi Kai only glanced at Kirishima Yoshiko.

The slight activation of the Evil Mirror Doll's power reminded Kirishima Yoshiko of what had happened at noon.

A sudden wave of fear and trepidation washed over her, and her anger flowed back towards Kirishima Chiho.

Because she was blocking the door, everyone could only leave through the back door.

As she watched the students leave one after another, her anger grew stronger.

I just felt that I wasn't being respected.

She said sternly, "Chiho, let's go. You still have tutoring classes to attend."

As she said this, she picked up the gift box and quickly walked into the classroom.

Holding Kirishima Chiho's hand, they prepared to leave.

Asahi Aoi glanced at Natsugiri Kai, but Natsugiri Kai had no intention of stopping her and was also preparing to go to the Literature Club through the back door.

Taking a deep breath, Aoi stood up.

She said loudly, "Chiho, you have something you haven't done today."

Yoshiko Kirishima turned her head, frowned, and asked, "Who are you?"

“I’m just a member of the Literature Club.” Aoi Asahi stepped forward and took Chiho’s arm. “Today, the Literature Club has a club activity.”

Chiho looked at Aoi Asahi, feeling somewhat surprised yet also finding it perfectly natural.

"Yes, that's right. Aoi Asahi is that kind of girl; that's all she can do."

She looked at Aoi Asahi and smiled at her.

Kirishima Yoshiko clicked her tongue: "You're just a member of the literature club, what right do you have to order us around? As Chiho's parent, who are you to dare to talk back to me like that?"

As she said this, she pulled hard on Kirishima Chiho.

They tried to drag Chiho away, but Chiho offered no resistance.

But Aoi held on tightly and said, "You can't take Chiho away."

Yoshiko Kirishima almost wanted to curse, but then she looked at the gazes of the students around her.

She barely managed to hold back; she didn't want to do something as shameful as swearing in front of these students.

Yoshiko Kirishima pushed Chiho Kirishima's shoulder and said, "Tell her! Tell her you don't want to go to the Literature Club at all."

She was full of confidence and very proud.

Yoshiko Kirishima believed that Chiho would not refuse her.

Because, well, I got injured around noon today.

And since she's the one who got injured, she absolutely won't refuse him today.

Chiho looked at Aoi Asahi and smiled gently.

Just as she was about to say something, Aoi Asahi said, "Even if Chiho wanted to go with you, it's not allowed!"

Chiho was taken aback, and Kirishima Yoshiko was even more stunned.

Yoshiko Kirishima couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

She pointed at Aoi and said, "What's so special about club activities? They've dragged down Chiho's grades. Can you take responsibility for that?"

Aoi, however, said recklessly, "Since you care so much about Chiho's grades, why did you take so long just now?"

"I really don't know how you could say such things!"

"You're carrying a whole box of fruit and trying to give it to the teacher right in front of us? Are you deliberately trying to show off your generosity? Are you deliberately trying to show off how rich your family is? Is this your money?"
