I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

"That's really boring."

Xia Wuzhao answered in this way.

"Hmph." Aoi Asahi said, seemingly a little displeased, "Natsugiri Kai, you're with a beautiful girl, do you have any complaints?"

But before Xia Wuzhao could answer, Asahi Aoi quickly said, "Even if you're so unwilling, I'll still call you out every single day of the May Day holiday."

"Refusal is not allowed; this is within the minister's authority!"

She deliberately said, "Even during the Dragon Boat Festival celebrations on May 5th, I'll still call you out. While everyone else is participating in the festivities, you'll come with me to do the work."

Chapter 52 The Green Plum Hanging on a Branch Just a Short Distance

May st

It was raining as usual today, and we met at the station as we always do. But instead of watching the rain, we took a walk along the breakwater.

I almost fell, but this time Xia Wuzhao caught me.

However, he still looked like he was annoyed by the trouble.

May 2nd.

The weather was sunny and warm today. But I didn't go to the mountains or the beach.

I just sat on the tram all day, swaying back and forth. Because I was on the tram the whole time, I stayed there for a bit longer.

well.

May 3rd.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter; I start sweating after just a short walk. But I think I'd look really pretty in a white dress.

Today we went to an abandoned train station in the mountains, which was told to us by the driver.

There are trees surrounding the area, and a clear spring inside. Sitting next to it, you'll feel very refreshed.

However, the driver thought Xia Wuzhao and I were a couple, which is why he introduced this place to us.

Xia Wuzhao denied it, what a pity.

May 4th.

It's a bit cloudy today, and everyone's worried it might rain. If it does rain, then tomorrow's celebration won't be able to take place.

Unfortunately, the weather cleared up in the afternoon.

Outside, there were girls already wearing the yukatas worn during the festival, and they looked as if they were glowing.

I washed the sailor suit again, using some laundry detergent that my mom bought.

It smells wonderful, like cherry blossoms.

That evening, she was drunk and discovered that I had touched her things.

He was scolded and berated again.

However, I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

May 5th is the Dragon Boat Festival.

Today, I feel very uneasy. It's as if some misfortune is about to befall me, but what could possibly be considered misfortune for me?

However, I want to do something daring today.

With all my courage, because only by his side can I breathe oxygen.

I have no way to leave.

After writing this sentence, the girl closed the notebook and placed it under her bed.

She changed into new underwear today, although it was still the same old faded, plain underwear.

She wore new clothes today, and they smelled lovely, like cherry blossoms.

She swept her bangs back and pinned them to the other side with a hair clip.

Standing in front of the mirror, she looked at her charming reflection.

He thought to himself, "Today, it will definitely work."

Huizi left very early today; she probably went to see the man she had tricked.

The girl felt fortunate that Keiko had seen it.

Huizi is probably going to start cursing again.

She stepped out of the door with light and cheerful steps, and walked quickly toward the tram.

The festival is held on the banks of a river in the center of town, where fireworks are set off in the evening.

Because the success rate of confessing one's feelings increases greatly at the moment fireworks light up the sky, it is also known as the magic of nighttime fireworks.

Many high school students and tourists confess their feelings at this time.

To get to this river, you need to take two tram transfers and then walk for a while.

At noon, although there were few people, it was very hot.

In the afternoon, although the weather was cool, there were many people.

Aoi dislikes the crowded East, so she sets off in the morning.

We walked for a very long time, and even broke out in a fine sweat.

As she approached the riverbank, she saw rows upon rows of stalls.

The stall owners, dressed in dark blue work clothes, are busy setting up their stalls.

Xia Wuzhao stood on the red bridge at the very back of the stall, its red lacquer gleaming.

Aoi hesitated for a moment, then took out a handkerchief and wiped away her sweat.

This is Xia Wuzhao's handkerchief, which Asahi Aoi cherishes.

Looking at the long road surrounded by stalls, she couldn't help but take a step to the side.

If you want to walk behind the stall, you can avoid those people.

He hesitated and took a few steps.

However, they discovered that there was not much space behind the stall; it was filled with all sorts of miscellaneous items.

Reluctantly, I returned to the intersection and watched the busy stall owners.

She hesitated, took a few steps forward, but then withdrew.

The road in front of us is not actually narrow; there is more than enough room for one car to pass.

But in the girl's eyes, it was like a narrow road flowing with lava and thorns.

Just looking at it made me feel more and more timid.

She wished she could turn around and leave immediately.

The courage in my heart slipped away like snowflakes.

She possessed a dark aura that no one else could detect.

Xiao Ai sensed it and said in Xia Wuzhao's mind, "Lord Xia Wuzhao, I sense that a monster is growing."

"It's probably an asahi sunflower."

Xia Wuzhao said indifferently, "I saw her, right behind the stall."

Xiao Ai said, "Aren't you going to go find her?"

Xia Wuzhao said, "She will come over."

"Is it under the influence of a demon?" Xiao Ai sensed the rising demonic energy and felt somewhat worried.

Xia Wuzhao didn't say much, just looked at the shimmering waves on the river.

Asahi hesitated, feeling uneasy and anxious in front of the stall.

But when she touched the handkerchief, she looked up at Xia Wuzhou on the vermilion wooden bridge.

She finally gritted her teeth and lowered her head.

"These are all strangers, these are all strangers."

The girl kept repeating these thoughts to herself.

She jogged toward the narrow path between the two rows of stalls, but as she got closer, she slowed down for fear of arousing the curiosity of others.

She walked through the middle like a stiff machine, her face expressionless.

But because they felt lost and confused, they unconsciously quickened their pace.

It's only May now, not yet June, not even summer.

The weather was so hot that she was sweating profusely, her collar almost soaked.

Even the gray-white road surface was unusually hot.

She seemed to be suffocating, and didn't even understand how she got out of that narrow path.

Just standing there, my cheeks felt as if they had been rolled over by a ball of needles.

The needles pierced her skin, making her feel as if she had been burned.

She could only take out her handkerchief again to wipe away her sweat.

But when she looked back...

I noticed that the shop owners were still busy bending over, taking out the necessary items one by one from the boxes.

The road didn't seem that narrow.

Her heart was pounding, and it took her a while to calm down.

After tidying up her hair and clothes, she quickly walked towards Xia Wuzhao.

When she reached the wooden bridge, she said in a bright and cheerful tone, "Xia Wuzhao, did you arrive early and wait for me here?"

Xia Wuzhao looked at Asahi Aoi.

The girl smiled, a hint of joy in her eyes.

But he already knew that Risa Yajima was constantly spreading rumors about Keiko, and that almost everyone in the class knew about it.

However, because she couldn't find herself and Aoi Asahi, Risa Yajima could only wait for the start of the school year.

I heard all of this from Sato.

Looking at the sunflower in front of her, Natsugiri Kai said, "Yes, I've been waiting for you."

"Eh?"

The girl let out a small gasp in surprise, expecting a denial.

But to my surprise, the answer was completely different from what I had expected.

At that moment, she actually felt happy.

Chapter 53 The gift received was one's younger self.

Looking at Aoi Asahi, who was smiling so happily, Natsugiri Kai felt a slight ripple in her heart.

He knew better than anyone the embarrassment and awkwardness of his childhood.

Looking at the sunflower, he felt as if he were seeing his younger self.

That unease, that embarrassment, that confusion, and that despair of not knowing where to go.

They are all as vivid as the past.

But he is different now.

But it was precisely because of this that he hardened his heart.

He said coldly, "Because if you don't come soon, I'll probably leave first."

Aoi Asahi was taken aback: "Is that so?"

She said in a dissatisfied tone, "I knew it! I knew it would be like this."

The girl sighed and leaned against the vermilion wooden bridge railing: 'What were you looking at just now?'
