These people seemed to have encountered some great joy, letting out loud shouts that attracted everyone's attention.

"What happy thing happened?"

They were all asking questions eagerly.

But Aoi Asahi didn't tell them, "You can't talk about this kind of thing."

This only made the other girls more curious, but no matter what they did, they couldn't get Aoi to say it.

These girls became somewhat discouraged again, but none of them persisted.

After these people left, Aoi Asahi said, "These are all friends I met at the library."

Xia Wuzhao thought about it carefully, and realized that there were indeed older girls there just now.

"It seems you're quite popular, Asahi."

"We're just friends," Aoi Asahi said with a hint of pride.

They chatted as they returned to the classroom.

Chiho, who had been lying on the table, immediately widened her round eyes.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Chiho muttered to herself, completely unable to believe what she was seeing.

"That's not right! Xia Wuzhao isn't like that! Shouldn't I be the one to create the necessary conditions and then let Xia Wuzhao change?"

"What's going on now?"

"How did everything change overnight?"

She was very upset and angry; even her lips were pouting.

After returning to her seat, Xia Wuzhao glanced at Chiho and asked, "What's wrong?"

"nothing."

Chiho said this with some annoyance.

"Are you angry?" Xia Wuzhao looked at her in confusion.

"No."

Chiho responded somewhat stiffly.

Seeing this, Natsugiri Kai said nothing more. Asahi Aoi, however, asked a somewhat strange question, which Chiho casually brushed off with an excuse.

He then looked at Xia Wuzhao: "Xia Wu, why didn't you continue asking?"

"Because you are very angry."

Xia Wuzhao gave this answer.

"Um???"

"If I'm angry, shouldn't I be pressing for the reason?"

Chiho looked at Natsumi with a strange expression.

Suddenly, she reached out and pinched Xia Wuzhao's face: "You're not a fake Xia Wuzhao, are you?"

But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't figure out that it was fake.

Xia Wuzhao slapped Chiho's hand away and simply said, "Did you hit your head yesterday?"

Aoi covered her mouth and laughed.

Chiho glared at Natsugiri Kai, then hugged Asahi Aoi: "Aoi~~ Natsugiri bullied me~~"

She complained, which gave Aoi a headache, and she seemed helpless.

"I can't help it," Aoi Asahi said, glancing at Natsugiri Kai and smiling happily.

Chiho was taken aback when she saw Aoi Asahi's appearance.

He regained his composure, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"That smile looks so happy."

"It's completely different from my smile before."

For some reason, her heart clenched slightly, and an unbelievable bitterness welled up from somewhere unknown.

"I was the one who kept trying to make Xia Wukai normal, but now it's Aoi who's happy first."

Her mind was in turmoil, and an uncontrollable bitterness and jealousy made her silent.

The smile on his face vanished, replaced by a silent and aloof expression.

During class, the teacher would occasionally ask questions.

When the question was asked to Chiho, she couldn't answer it.

But she could only look embarrassed, so the teacher couldn't get angry.

"If you feel unwell, remember to go to the school clinic."

After saying that, the teacher continued the lesson.

After attending the class in a daze, Chiho left the classroom and went to the school clinic.

The air smelled of disinfectant, and there were no teachers around.

She took out her phone and sent a message to Xia Wuzhao.

He then lay down on the bed, his arms hanging in front of his forehead, took a long breath, and then breathed heavily.

"What on earth happened?"

Chiho found it hard to accept.

Xia Wuzhao, who was in the classroom, glanced at her phone and then left the classroom.

As they walked toward the school clinic, Xiao Ai reminded her, "Master Natsugiri, Chiho seems a bit down. You should keep an eye on her."

"I see."

After pushing open the door and entering the school clinic, Xia Wuzhao saw Chiho lying on the bed.

She closed her eyes, her hands clasped in front of her. Her long red hair cascaded down her body like a tapestry, and her face was serene and serene.

She looked like a princess from a fairy tale.

Xia Wuzhao didn't make a sound, but quietly closed the door and sat on the other bed next to her.

The sunlight outside the window was perfect, making the girl's skin almost glow.

Her eyelashes seemed to be covered with butterfly scales, and even the slightest tremor made them appear to sparkle.

Xia Wuzhao simply sat quietly to the side, waiting patiently.

As he was looking at Chiho, Chiho suddenly opened her eyes.

The two stared at each other for a moment, and Xia Wuzhao subconsciously looked away.

Chiho couldn't help but smile: "Natsugiri, you really came."

"what happened?"

Looking at Chiho again, Natsugiri asked with some confusion.

"It's nothing."

She smiled faintly.

This smile is a perfect smile, making people feel close to it.

However, Xia Wuzhao felt that it was somewhat fake.

He didn't rush to answer Chiho's question. Instead, he waited quietly, knowing that Chiho would continue to say something.

"Cough cough."

Chiho coughed before saying, "Natsugiri Kai seems different today."

“Is it different?” Xia Wuzhao said. “I don’t think anything has changed.”

"really?"

Chiho still had that same smile on her face.

"real."

"I do not believe."

After saying those words crisply and decisively, Chiho's smile vanished.

His expression transformed into a calm, even somewhat frightening, mature one.

“The summer mist of the past didn’t bring happiness, did it?” Chiho rested her chin on her hand. “The summer mist of the past only made people realize things.”

"The summer mist nowadays, however, makes people feel happy."

She clearly articulated the two differences, her crimson eyes seeming to pierce through something.

"So, Xia Wu has changed."

His tone became assertive, even somewhat authoritative and unquestionable.

"You're saying things that no one can understand, Chiho." Natsuki Kai looked at her, but this time she didn't look away.

"The Xia Wuzhao of the past didn't bring happiness, and the Xia Wuzhao of today still won't bring happiness."

He said those words without his expression being particularly resolute or serious.

It seems like—it was just something said casually.

The wind outside the window suddenly picked up, making the curtains flutter loudly.

The curtain was blown about so badly that it almost separated Chiho and Natsugiri Kai.

Thus, barely visible, Chiho's earnest eyes finally lowered.

The serious, somewhat frightening expression on his face finally disappeared.

"I see. I believe Xia Wu."

Chiho pressed down on the isolation curtain, and she couldn't help but laugh at herself as she looked at Natsumi: "In the past, I always wanted to do something, to change something."

"Isn't this great?"

Xia Wuzhao answered calmly.

"No, I don't think it's good." Chiho ran her fingers through her hair and said seriously, "I've realized I was wrong. I can't accept that kind of thing if it really happened."

She tilted her head slightly and smiled slyly: "I'm not sure what will happen."

In that instant, Xia Wuzhao sensed something called danger from Chiho.

Xia Wuzhao never doubted Qianhui's determination; she would never change her mind about what she was going to do.

"what are you up to?"

Hearing Xia Wuzhao's question, Qianhui sighed and looked away again: "Is it really okay for you to ask that?"

Xia Wuzhao did not answer, but silence itself was an answer.

"Don't tell you!"

Chiho smiled happily at Natsugiri Kai: "But Natsugiri Kai, you can guess what I'm going to do."

Xia Wuzhao shook her head: "I can't guess."

"Hey—" Chiho said with some dissatisfaction, as if she were a child playing around. "This is so boring."

She smiled.

"If it really comes to that, I'll just try to get Chiharu Tokisaka's memories back as well."

Chapter 454 Wanting to keep sneaking ahead and stay in the lead [4k]

Before this, Chiho had never thought of restoring Chiharu Tokisaka's memories.

She never imagined that she would have such a crazy idea because of Xia Wuzhao's change.

—Because everything she had been doing before was to change Xia Wuzhao.
