I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

The girls looked at each other and chattered for a while longer.

The girl who was leading the group was then pushed forward: "Xia Wu, do you want to join the swimming club? We're planning to practice swimming today."

The girls gasped softly, looking at Xia Wuzhao shyly.

Xia Wuzhao shook her head: 'Not today.'

The girls were somewhat disappointed, but after seeing the girl behind Xia Wuzhao, they seemed to understand something.

"girlfriend?"

The girl in the lead asked.

“No.” Xia Wuzhao shook her head.

Asahi poked Natsugiri Kai in the back from behind.

"Are they friends?" the girl in the lead asked again.

"Not at all."

Xia Wuzhao shook her head again.

But this time the girls didn't believe it, shaking their heads: "She's neither a girlfriend nor a friend. How could he bring her for a walk at this time, and she even refused our swimming club's invitation?"

The girls giggled, "You know, normally the boys are the ones who want to peek at us swimming, but they can't find an opportunity."

They egged them on, wanting to see what Asahi looked like.

Xia Wuzhao did not agree.

But Aoi Asahi was still discovered; she had originally intended to urge Natsugiri Kai on.

But she was pulled out in an instant, and the sunflower was immediately exposed to the public eye.

She suddenly found it difficult to speak, like a vampire falling into the sunlight.

Even more embarrassed than she was were the girls in the swimming club, who were amazed by her beauty.

Their delicate, pretty faces made them feel ashamed of themselves.

He said a few awkward words and then quickly left.

However, both Asahi Aoi and Natsugiri Kai could hear them whispering to each other.

"That girl looks like she's wearing our school's uniform. Could she be from our school?"

"Impossible, impossible. If she were from our school, we would definitely know her. How could such a beautiful girl appear in our school?"

"If it really exists, it certainly won't remain unknown. Instead, it will be like an explosion, making it known to everyone."

"It even made a 'smack' sound, that's hilarious."

"Haha."

The girls played around and then ran away.

Aoi knows these girls because one of them is a classmate.

—He belonged to the winning group and was also one of the people who had bullied him in the past.

"But after hearing what they said, I was suddenly filled with joy, a sense of being recognized, and for a moment I couldn't bring myself to hate them. I even thought they could be called good people, and I even forgot the pain I had felt before."

When it's just the two of them on their way to school again.

Xia Wuzhao said, "What were you trying to say just now?"

"Nothing's wrong," Aoi Asahi replied absentmindedly.

“Then something must have happened,” Xia Wuzhao said.

The girl finally snapped out of her daze and said, "I was just reminding you that we're going on a field trip today. Don't get too caught up in chatting with those girls from the swimming club, let's go."

"So, I'm just urging you on."

Asahi Aoi spoke somewhat hastily.

"Hmm." Xia Wuzhao didn't expose Asahi Aoi, which relieved Asahi Aoi.

She quickly took a few more steps and walked to the front of Xia Wuzhao.

Aside from meeting the girls from the swimming club, I haven't met anyone else.

This reassured Asahi considerably.

As they approached the school, Aoi suddenly said, "I think my school swimsuit is in the clubroom."

She spoke with a mixture of shyness and bravado.

But Xia Wuzhao didn't react at all, not even uttering a sound.

This made Asahima somewhat discouraged.

The girl finally breathed a sigh of relief after entering the school.

The empty school made her feel at ease.

The two of them first went to the department office and took some things.

However, before leaving the school, I went to the rooftop to check on the plants.

Asahi Aoi seemed very serious, but Natsugiri Kai just stared at the large lock swaying on the rooftop.

He said, 'You should have the key to this lock, right?'

Aoi Asahi stiffened, then slowly nodded: "Mm."

"Then how about locking this door?"

Xia Wuzhao offered her suggestion casually.

But Aoi Asahi would never agree to that. She knew that if the lock was closed, those who returned to school during the holidays would be inexplicably furious.

But if I say it out loud, I'll be laughed at.

So she said, "It's fine to leave it like this. If someone comes, maybe a kind person will come and water the plants for us."

“Really?” Xia Wuzhao said; “Do you really think they would kindly help you water your plants instead of just kicking them over or deliberately making them sickly, just like I saw at the beginning?”

Chapter 44 The Unending Entanglement of Diaspora Time

"That's just because I didn't take good care of it."

She was unwilling to admit what Xia Wuzhao had said, because that would make her seem too cowardly.

"I know perfectly well that it was those girls who hate me who did it, yet I still have to cover for them. How despicable! But what can I do?"

"The sunflower in front of him must be a proud and thorny sunflower, and absolutely not a cowardly sunflower."

She didn't want to appear pathetic in front of Xia Wuzhao.

Even though the classroom was gloomy, she had already prepared an excuse.

— He simply didn't want to deal with those girls, which was why he acted that way to avoid trouble.

Asahi tried to find a reason in her mind, but she couldn't help but pinch her sideburns.

No matter how much you deceive yourself, there's always a voice in your heart screaming that it's all fake.

She couldn't calm her mind, so she could only use this method to distract herself.

But what she feared didn't happen, and Xia Wuzhao didn't press the matter further.

He simply fiddled with the large lock hanging on the door, causing the stairwell door to rattle and clang loudly.

After quickly and roughly watering all the plants, Sunflower hurriedly stood up.

She stumbled and almost fell.

Fortunately, she grabbed Xia Wuzhao's shoulder and didn't fall to the ground.

"Be careful," Xia Wuzhao said.

But Aoi said, "I did it on purpose, just to see if you would catch me. You saw me fall in the classroom before."

She found a reason and, bluffing, said, "If you still can't catch me this time, I'm going to get angry."

Xia Wuzhao said, "This time you've caught me."

The girl felt slightly embarrassed for a moment, so she changed the subject: "It's getting late, let's go for a wild hunt instead."

After she finished speaking, she quickly walked towards the stairwell.

Xia Wuzhao followed behind, and the two of them returned to the horticulture department to pack their things and prepare for a field trip.

The supplies included a shoulder bag and some small boxes for holding plants. Each of them took a small shovel and headed towards Chibayashi Shrine.

The sun was shining brightly, and Asahi felt that her earlier timidity and worries had been seeped out from her almost transparent skin.

She turned her head and glanced at Xia Wuzhao.

"If only this kind of time could last forever."

Thinking this to herself, Aoi called out to Natsugiri Kai, "You're so slow!"

Risa Yajima woke up very early on April 29th.

She was fully prepared.

After washing up, we ate breakfast together.

She then saw her father, who was dressed fashionably, while her mother was dressed rather sloppily, like a gloomy mushroom.

Risa Yajima was taken aback for a moment, then, as if she knew nothing, said, "Dad, you look so handsome today. Are you going somewhere?"

Yajima Jiro was somewhat pleased: "Is it really okay?"

"Mmm." Risa Yajima nodded, looking happy.

She said, "Dad, so you're going to tell me what you're going to do, right?"

Risa Yajima asked another question, winking mischievously.

Yajima Jiro gave an awkward laugh: "I still have to go to work. Dad's job is very hard. Even on holidays, I still have to work."

"I don't believe it." Risa Yajima laughed like a child and suddenly ran out the door: "Daddy must want to go out and play by himself, I want to go too!"

In the blink of an eye, Risa Yajima got into the car parked outside.

She leaned against the car window, smiling at Yajima Jiro: "Daddy, come on up!"

Yajima Jiro was a little unhappy: "This time it really is for work, and you'll only cause me trouble if you go."

"Really?" Risa Yajima asked, somewhat dejected.

"Of course it's true," Yajima Jiro said firmly.

Risa Yajima could only sadly say to Jiro Yajima, "Dad, when you come back today, you must bring me a present."

Yajima Jiro readily agreed: "Okay, okay. Dad will buy you a necklace when he gets back today."

"Thank you, Dad." Risa Yajima hugged Jiro Yajima and smiled happily.

“Then you should come down,” Yajima Jiro said with a smile. “Don’t get in my way at work; he works very hard.”

"Ah."

Risa Yajima got out of the car and hugged Jiro Yajima: "I love you, Daddy."

After giving Risa Yajima a hearty pat on the head, Jiro Yajima finally drove away.

As the car drove away, Risa Yajima's smile gradually faded.

Disappearing little by little.

She turned and went into the house.

Momono Yajima sat at the table, staring at the complete meal on it like a gloomy, moldy statue.

Risa Yajima walked over and hugged her mother.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, I've already put a cell phone in the crevice of the back chair. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll find that bitch who ruined our family."

As she said this, she hugged her mother tightly: "Mom, I can definitely do it."

Momono Yajima slowly raised her head, tears streaming down her face as she hugged her child: "Risa, Risa. You're all I have left."
