I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

She couldn't confirm anything based on that.

"We can only confirm this after Chiho's matter is resolved."

Forcing herself to accept this reason, Aoi could only helplessly listen to Chiho and Natsugiri's conversation.

Seeing that Xia Wuzhao did not answer, Qianhui pinched her hair with her fingers.

She said slyly, "But are you really comfortable leaving the two of us girls here? After all, this is a mountainous area. What if some wild animal comes along? We could be in danger."

"So what?" Xia Wuzhao asked back.

"You can stay here with us too," Chiho said to Natsugiri Kai. "That way you can protect us, and we're all beautiful girls. Even if you're just keeping us company, it won't be a loss for you."

Xia Wuzhao immediately agreed to the request.

He found a stool and sat by the window of the infirmary, looking at the green belt outside.

It has a rich green color, so rich that it appears somewhat gray.

Although the sun was still blazing, it was incredibly cool here.

Just being here makes me feel chilly, like I have an air conditioner on.

Perhaps she was really tired, Aoi soon fell asleep.

Kirishima Chiho was the same; she seemed about to say something.

However, because of Xia Wuzhao's existence.

She felt extremely relieved.

A cool breeze blew in through the wide-open window, carrying the scent of damp grass.

When you're in the infirmary, the summer heat almost disappears.

The intense heat she had experienced in the Literature Club was gradually dissipating. A few beads of sweat had previously clung to her temples, but now she felt incredibly refreshed.

She opened the drink and took a small sip.

The sweet and sour taste made her squint slightly.

Then she drifted off to sleep again.

Even the school bell didn't wake them up.

Xia Wuzhao leaned against the window and waited until both girls had fallen asleep before looking at them.

When the sunflower is asleep, it is very well-behaved.

She just liked to curl up in the blanket, only showing half of her face and her flowing black hair.

When Chiho is asleep, she lies on her side, curled up.

Her scarlet hair flowed out from the other side of the bed.

Xia Wuzhao just watched like that, occasionally taking a sip of her drink.

He wasn't sleepy at all, just wasting time like this.

Xiao Ai looked at the sleeping girl and chatted with Xia Wuzhao: "Lord Xia Wuzhao, the exam is tomorrow."

"Yes."

"I really don't know how they'll feel when they see their results," Xiao Ai said with a sigh.

Xia Wuzhao said, "No matter what your feelings are, it's a step you have to go through."

Xiao Ai muttered to herself, saying these words only to make Lady Xia Wu a little gentler.

However, Lord Xiawu remained as solid as ice, without changing in the slightest.

They were even like demons and monsters.

She added, "If she really doesn't do well on the exam, then Chiho will definitely be scolded by her mother. Lady Natsugiri, what do you think will happen?"

“That’s for sure,” Xia Wuzhao said calmly. “But isn’t that a good thing?”

"Is this a good thing?" Xiao Ai was somewhat dumbfounded.

“That’s certainly a good thing,” Xia Wuzhao said. “I’ve certainly seen the changes in Chiho over this period of time. However, these are only slight changes.”

"She simply reclaimed a little bit of her own power; she simply refused to let her mother come to school every day to pretend to be there and to monitor her every day at school."

“She just did that,” Xia Wuzhao said. “Would she be just as decisive in refusing at school when she was at home?”

"I'm afraid not. She only does this because I'm at school. She just wants to show me, because she knows that if she doesn't, she'll completely sever ties with me."

"She had no way to die."

"She simply chose a less wrong option from two difficult choices."

"She didn't choose the right choice, but the choice she could make. These are two choices, and two different answers. It's just that in her heart, I was more important than her mother."

"That's why she made what seemed to be the right choice."

"But then again, does that mean she'll revert to her old ways when I'm not around?"

"Is she still following her mother's lead, like a trained monkey, playing the role of a tool to be flaunted, a trophy in her mother's hands?"

"After these results come out, she may indeed be criticized by her mother. But does that mean she has to obey her mother's unreasonable orders?"

As Xia Wuzhao said this, he took another sip of his canned coffee: "I'm actually quite curious to see how Chiho will react."

His words left Xiao Ai speechless.

All I can say is, "But she has gradually become unable to leave you, Lord Natsugiri."

“If that’s the case, she’ll depend on you. It’ll be like she’s gone from being her mother’s puppet to being your puppet.”

“Wouldn’t it be fine once the monster is forced out?” Xia Wuzhao said. “That way, her memories of me will be sealed, and she won’t rely on me anymore.”

"Although it seemed like a castle in the air, by then, gravity would no longer be able to bind her soul."

Xiao Ai was somewhat dumbfounded, not expecting that sealing memories would have this function.

All she could do was remind her, "Lady Natsugiri, you must be careful. After the monster is sealed, make sure Chiho doesn't come into contact with the doll again and regain her memories."

But she also said, "However, Asahi will definitely find a pattern, which may be a weakness."

Xia Wuzhao didn't care: "As long as I also pretend to have amnesia, it will actually increase her trust in my amnesia."

Chapter 146: What settled in my heart was a bittersweet feeling.

The two slept soundly until school was over.

However, Chiho woke up first.

Aoi Asahi was still asleep, as if she hadn't slept well the night before.

Chiho also noticed that Aoi Asahi was sleeping, and she secretly smiled at Natsugiri Kai.

Then she tiptoed out of bed to wash up, and returned shortly afterward.

Water droplets still clung to her cheeks.

Xia Wuzhao took a few tissues from the table and handed them to Chiho. After taking them, Chiho wiped the water droplets off her hands and cheeks.

She carefully walked to the bedside table and glanced at Asahi, who was still fast asleep.

She picked up her drink; a layer of tiny, fine water droplets covered the outside of the metal can.

Even when you hold it in your hand, you can still feel a slight chill.

She took a sip, and the sweet and sour taste made her squint her eyes slightly.

But he only took a sip, then put the juice back on the table with a thud.

Looking at Natsumi Kai, Chiho straddled Natsumi Kai's lap as if it were commonplace.

The school uniform skirt bunched up on her thighs, and the black and red sailor uniform, while able to cover the girl's skin, also absorbed a lot of sunlight when she was outside, making her feel hot easily.

"It's sweet now."

Chiho said in a low voice.

But Natsumi remained unmoved, only looking at Chiho.

Chiho was somewhat dissatisfied, but she still wrapped her arms around Natsume's neck.

She took the initiative to kiss him and stepped forward.

Her intense longing stemmed from the warmth of the summer mist pavilion, to the point that she was almost inseparable from it.

She passionately demanded kisses.

Xia Wuzhao hugged her back and shoulders tightly, but only had one thought in his mind.

"It really is sweet."

Perhaps it was because the movements were too exaggerated, or perhaps it was the girl's intuition.

Aoi Asahi suddenly woke up. She was lying on her side and could easily see where Kirishima Chiho was.

But when she opened her eyes, she found that Kirishima Chiho had already left the bed.

Somewhat groggy, she sat up, opened her sleepy eyes, and saw Chiho and Natsugiri Kai by the window.

She froze, forgetting even the strands of hair stuck to her mouth.

Seeing that Natsuki Kai and Kirishima Chiho were still being affectionate, she felt a pang of jealousy.

"I've never been this intimate before; I only dared to give you a light kiss!"

Sunflower was extremely dissatisfied and could only cough forcefully.

Chiho then turned to look at Aoi Asahi, smiling gently, "So Aoi, you're already awake."

"Of course I'm awake. If I hadn't woken up, I really don't know what you would have continued to do."

She grumbled inwardly, but then said, "Is school over already?"

"Yes, school's over." Chiho smiled.

"So, the teacher didn't come?" Aoi said calmly. "Be careful that others don't see you doing these things here."

Chiho didn't care about this, but Natsugiri said, "Now that you're awake, I should leave."

"After all, school is over."

Chiho reluctantly got off Natsugiri and asked, "Aren't we going to do club activities?"

"There's no need to continue," Xia Wuzhao said. "I'm going home to study."

This put pressure on both girls.

Asahi felt okay, even though she couldn't get close to Natsugiri.

However, as long as Chiho can't get close to Natsugiri, she can consider it a victory.

However, there is still pressure from studying.

After saying these words, Xia Wuzhao left directly.

Chiho and Aoi were left looking at each other in bewilderment. Natsugiri Kai's actions were somewhat unexpected yet also reasonable to them.

It would be strange if Xia Wuzhao dragged her feet.

Aoi sighed and said to Chiho, "I'm going to the library. What about you?"

"Me?" Chiho said, "I guess I should go home."

"Wait for me a moment, I'll take you to the school gate," Aoi Asahi said. After washing up, she returned to the infirmary.

Chiho was waiting at the door. She looked at Aoi and said, "Are you worried about me?"

“That’s right.” Aoi took out a tissue from her pocket and wiped her fingers and cheeks. “If you run into your mother again, maybe I can help you.”

"Why did you do that?" Chiho asked with interest.

“Normally, Natsugiri Kai does these things. But now that Natsugiri Kai has left, I have to do them myself.” Asahi Aoi said in a matter-of-fact tone, “And because you are my friend, that’s why I’m doing this.”

“Friend,” Chiho said meaningfully, “that is truly a beautiful word.”

After wiping her fingers and cheeks clean, Asahima crumpled the tissue and threw it into the trash can.

The two of them first went back to the classroom to get their schoolbags before heading towards the school gate.

Along the way, Chiho asked curiously, "Is there anything unforgettable that happened in the seaside town?"
