I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

"I see."

Asahi Aoi seemed lost in thought. After seeing Natsugiri Kai walk in, she pulled him to sit on the sofa.

"Is Asakawa very sad today?"

Regardless, Aoi Asahi was still somewhat worried about Yo Asakawa.

“Not a trace of sadness.” Xia Wuzhao thought for a moment, “On the contrary, she was very happy and pleased.”

"?"

Aoi Asahi was somewhat puzzled by this, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem like something that was too difficult to understand.

After all, she herself has already changed.

"Shall we go to her house then? Should we go early, or wait until her mother comes back?"

"Let's go after her mother comes back."

Xia Wuzhao didn't really want to go to Asakawa Yao's house right now.

"Then let's leave it at that." Aoi clapped her hands and smiled gently.

She returned to her original spot and quietly began to study.

Xia Wuzhao sat on the sofa, having nothing better to do. He stared at Asahi Aoi.

When Aoi is studying, she is extremely focused. Her quiet profile is full of seriousness and concentration, yet also carries a touch of gentleness.

Her sideburns swayed, and she would occasionally tuck them behind her ears with her fingers, revealing her delicate ears.

However, on occasional occasions when there are successes, Aoi will show a happy and smug expression.

That gentle demeanor vanished in that expression, but Xia Wuzhao didn't care about such things.

Whether it's the gentle and graceful A-Kui or the self-satisfied A-Kui, they both shine brightly.

"what happened?"

Asahi looked at Natsugiri Kai with some confusion.

Perhaps it was because Xia Wuzhao's gaze had been fixed on her for too long that Asahi Aoi noticed.

In the past, Aoi rarely noticed Natsume's actions like this.

"It's nothing." Xia Wuzhao subconsciously uttered a perfunctory word, but looking at A-Kui's expression, he added, "I just thought A-Kui looked very gentle and cute just now."

"ah--!"

On the contrary, Aoi was somewhat flustered, and the mechanical pencil in her hand fell to the ground.

Smoothing her hair, she quickly picked up the mechanical pencil from the ground.

He pretended to do his homework, then casually said, "Seriously, don't joke around, Xia Wu."

“I’m not joking.” Xia Wuzhao frowned slightly.

But Aoi blushed slightly, her fair neck turning pink.

"Really."

She uttered a small complaint, but a smile remained on her face: "Is Xia Wu happy today?"

"Happy? Not really."

Xia Wuzhao shook her head.

"I didn't say these things because I was happy."

Aoi, realizing this, was actually even happier.

She touched her temples, fiddling with them once more.

"However, I'm actually quite happy today."

Aoi smiled.

A small happiness also arose in her heart.

After a long while, Aoi finally calmed down, and the pink on her neck finally disappeared.

"It should be time by now."

She glanced at the clock: "Now, Asakawa's mother is home."

“Then let’s go.” Xia Wuzhao stood up and walked towards the door.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Asahi Aoi grabbed Natsugiri Kai's arm: "Really, how can I go looking like this? I need to wash up a bit and put on some makeup."

“I don’t think it’s necessary.” Xia Wuzhao looked at Asahi Aoi; “I think Asahi is cute and presentable as she is now.”

Asahi Aoi simply told Natsugiri Kai to wait for her before running upstairs.

After putting on her shoes, Xia Wuzhao stood in the entryway and waited.

It was already dusk outside, and the sky was approaching darkness. The streetlights on both sides of the street were already on, and many moths and mosquitoes were flying around the incandescent bulbs under the lights.

It would occasionally bump into the transparent lampshade, making a "thud" sound.

"How pitiful."

Xia Wuzhao looked at the moths.

It took Asahi Aoi a lot of effort to finally get dressed up, but Natsumi Kai couldn't tell where Asahi Aoi had put on makeup.

"How about it?"

Sunflower smiled happily.

“So cute,” Xia Wuzhao said.

"Today's summer mist is quite good at praising people," Aoi Asahi said, blinking her eyes in surprise.

But Xia Wuzhao really thought so. Although he couldn't tell what kind of makeup Asahi Aoi had put on, she just looked more delicate and cute.

—But, if I really had to give a reason.

Xia Wuzhao thought: It's probably because of Asakawa Yao.

"Because Asakawa Yo was honest today, she said everything, even things that couldn't be said."

It was a slight, subtle touch.

Aoi Asahi didn't notice Natsumi Kai's change; she simply smiled and took Natsumi Kai's arm.

So the two of them walked towards the next room.

After returning home, Asakawa's mother prepared to rest for a while before starting to cook.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"They're here."

After saying this, Asakawa's mother quickly went to the entrance and opened the door.

Xia Wuzhao and Asahi Aoi greeted them politely, and Asakawa's mother smiled and said, "What brings you here today? Come in quickly."

As he spoke, he beckoned the two of them to come in.

Then, she stood on the stairs and called upstairs, "Yo-chan! Asahi and Natsugiri are here!"

After giving Mizuki a few brief instructions, Asakawa Yo quickly went downstairs.

Only then did Asakawa's mother realize that her daughter had gotten a haircut, and looked at her daughter, who was as youthful and beautiful as a normal person.

"If someone didn't know her, they would probably think their daughter was very cheerful and outgoing."

Thinking this, Asakawa's mother couldn't help but ask, "Why did you suddenly decide to get a haircut today?"

"Because it's too hot." Asakawa Yo went to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of oolong tea.

After pouring each of them a drink, she sat down in the middle of the sofa.

Even Aoi Asahi couldn't stop it; after all, this was the Asakawa family. It was really inappropriate to have Asakawa Yo sitting next to them.

But this also makes chatting easier.

After watching Asakawa's mother go to the kitchen, Asahita asked Asakawa Yo in a low voice, "Did you tell your mother about what happened to you?"

"not yet."

Asakawa Yo shook her head.

“I think it’s better to tell her now,” Aoi Asahi said. “If you let your mother prepare dinner first and then tell her this, she will definitely feel very wronged.”

"I see."

Asakawa Yo felt that was indeed the case, but now that things had come to this point, she had no choice but to say it.

"If we back down now, we've already lost."

Whether it's everything I did today or my own awareness, I've lost.

So, Asakawa Yo stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

Asakawa's mother was initially puzzled, but still had a smile on her face.

But gradually, the smile on her face became increasingly difficult to maintain.

Finally, he sighed sadly.

Asakawa Yo remained silent, but Asakawa's mother smiled again: "It's alright."

However, she eventually took off her apron and walked over with Asakawa Yo.

She looked at Asahi Aoi and Natsugiri Kai apologetically: "I originally wanted to invite you to try my cooking."

Asahi Aoi and Natsugiri Kai quickly said it was alright, as they had already eaten.

Asakawa's mother maintained her smile, but then sighed again.

She looked at Asakawa Yo: "Yo-chan, did the teacher misunderstand? Should I call the teacher and explain?"

"unnecessary."

Asakawa Yo shook her head: "The teacher did nothing wrong. It was indeed me who made a mistake."

"I see."

Asakawa's mother clearly wanted to ask something, but in the end she didn't ask anything.

She simply said gently, "If you really encounter anything difficult to handle, you must tell Mom, okay? Mom will definitely do everything in her power to stand by you."

"Ah."

Asakawa Yo smiled happily: "I believe in Mom. I just feel that my previous behavior might not have been good. So, I want to change."

She said, "It's just because I wanted to change that it turned out this way."

"But I don't regret it."

She spoke earnestly, but there was a hint of unease in her heart.

She was afraid that her mother would be angry, and afraid that she would mess up the relationship.

Her fingers involuntarily gripped Xia Wuzhao's hand beside her, her heart skipped a beat, and she glanced at Asahi Aoi next to her.

They were relieved after finding that Aoi wasn't reacting.

A certain kind of heat was being continuously poured into her body.

Asakawa Yo straightened her back and finally looked at her mother seriously. She said, "Because I want to change, and to change, I need to break the impressions that others have of me."

"Ok!"

Asakawa's mother finally perked up and smiled.

—Although I don't know how much of that smile is genuine happiness.

But she was still smiling.

To avoid worrying Asakawa Yo, she could only force a smile.

Aoi then said, "Auntie, don't worry. I'll lend Asakawa my daily notes."

As she spoke so considerately, Asakawa's mother's anxiety was finally relieved.
