I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

"certainly not."

Asakawa Yo smiled smugly; "Today, I did something that I'm very proud of."

Mizuki paused for a moment, because Asakawa Yo's smile was just too radiant.

What is Asakawa's usual appearance like?

It is gloomy and repulsive.

But now she's smiling like a little sun, making people wonder if she's really like that.

But Asakawa Yo didn't explain; instead, she went to take a shower.

Being completely soaked was incredibly uncomfortable. This time, the shower was quick and rushed.

Asakawa Yo was barely able to contain her desire to show off.

After a quick wash, I changed into a set of dry and comfortable clothes.

Only then did he return to the bedroom and close the door.

"I did something amazing today," she said, pulling Mizuki, who was adjusting her equipment.

"Oh?"

Mizuki is a very good listener, or rather, she can make others think that she is a very good listener.

So, Asakawa Yo told Mizuki about what she had done that day. To prevent Mizuki from misunderstanding, she kept praising how wonderful Natsugiri Kai had been.

Xia Wuzhao has been so weak lately.

He then praised himself for changing Xia Wuzhao and for preventing her from becoming weak.

"That's really amazing."

Mitsuki praised.

“Right! Right!” Asakawa Yo’s eyes sparkled.

"That's really amazing, me."

She smiled happily, her hair swaying like tender branches in the rain outside.

"However, I don't think that's right. The Xia Wuzhao of the past wasn't actually a good person."

Mizuki thought so, but seeing Asakawa Yo so happy made her realize that.

She didn't say those words aloud.

"This is the first time I've seen you so happy today." Mizuki rested her chin on her hand and asked casually, "It's rare to see that."

"Because I'm just so happy."

Asakawa Yo said those words.

She looked at her palm: "For the first time, someone's life has been changed because of me."

"Ah! That's not quite right," Mizuki chuckled. "You've changed my life too."

"It was Xia Wuzhao who changed him, wasn't it?"

Asakawa Yo thought to herself.

Chapter 468: Just Streetlights and Shining Stars

Asakawa Yo is the kind of person who would not embezzle credit that does not belong to her.

So she corrected Mizuki, looking very serious.

Mizuki could only say that it was all just a joke, just a joke.

Only then did Asakawa Yo finally stop dwelling on what had just happened.

Mizuki looked at Asakawa Yo and asked casually, "Will you continue doing this kind of thing in the future? Like saving people or something?"

"No way."

Asakawa Yo answered with a touch of naivety. She prepared to change into something more suitable before picking up her mother.

Why should I save others?

She asked that question.

"Because you're happy, Asakawa, do you need a reason to do something that makes you happy?"

“Of course,” Asakawa Yo said. “If you do something that makes you happy, you don’t need a reason. What’s the difference between you and a machine then?”

"So why the sudden urge to save Xia Wuzhao today?"

Mizuki asked the question with a mischievous grin.

This time, it was Asakawa Yo who was stumped by the question. She wanted to avoid it, but then she felt that avoiding it might be too weak.

"I don't know, I just feel uncomfortable."

She expressed her feelings: "Because I find Xia Wuzhao annoying right now, I did this."

"I see."

Mizuki suddenly asked, "So, you've fallen for Natsugiri?"

"How could that be!" Asakawa Yo frowned subconsciously. She said, "How could you think of such a thing? How could I possibly like him? He's boring and always says annoying things. I would never like him."

"Because you feel happy because you saved Xia Wuzhao, that's why I think this way." She looked at me innocently: "Am I wrong?"

"Of course that's not right!"

Asakawa Yo changed into dry sportswear: "Natsugiri Kai is like a street lamp. I just think that a street lamp can illuminate the darkness. But to say that I like a street lamp would be ridiculous."

She waved her hand: "So, don't say things like that anymore."

"I'm sorry, Asakawa," Mizuki apologized earnestly.

Asakawa Yo forgave her very easily.

"I'm going down to find my mother. Don't make too much noise here, or my mother will become suspicious."

After giving her some instructions, she left the room.

Mizuki walked over and locked the door from the inside. Then she sat down at the table, sighing softly, "What's wrong with Natsumi Kage? Didn't you say you were watching who would change Asakawa Yo first? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

She felt a little regretful, thinking that it would have been better if it had been Asakawa Yo who had changed.

Although she didn't witness Xia Wuzhao's changes firsthand, she could understand what exactly Xia Wuzhao had changed from Qianchuan Yao's account.

—They care more about the people around them, instead of being indifferent as before.

In other words, it's more like a person than a machine.

"But how should I put it, is it karma? I never expected that Xia Wuzhao's change would be thwarted by Asakawa."

"Now it will be even more difficult for me to change Asakawa Yo."

Mizuki rubbed her hair, a thought stirring in her heart once more.

"Could it be that Xia Wuzhao did this on purpose? And then made Qianchuan Yao make a choice, to deepen Qianchuan Yao's impression and make her not change her mind."

"If that's really the case, then it's too insidious."

With her mind wandering, Mizuki found it all rather amusing.

"It's like something out of a TV drama; such a thing could never happen."

She muttered to herself and lay back down on the bed.

The rain pattered against the window as she looked at the equipment piled on the table, a sense of unease creeping into her heart.

"But there's no other way, is there?"

She remained silent for a moment, then closed her eyes again.

Recent events have been causing her distress. She can only listen to the rain outside the window to calm herself down.

Asakawa Yo, wearing rain boots and holding an umbrella, then grabbed another umbrella before heading out.

As I walked down the street, I kept thinking about what Mizuki had just said.

"Could it be that something caused her to misunderstand?"

She found the problem so annoying that she stopped thinking about it.

Stepping through the puddles on the cement road and watching them splash, I finally felt a little better.

"Good afternoon? What are you planning to do here?"

Asahi Aoi greeted Asakawa Yo as she walked towards her.

"I was just going to deliver an umbrella."

Asakawa Yo said this, she looked at the two people in front of her.

—Perhaps because of the rain, Asahi was practically leaning against Natsugiri Kai's chest.

Even so, Asahi's socks and loafers still got wet from the rain.

"It seems that Xia Wuzhao's protection isn't all that great after all."

Suddenly, this sentence popped into my mind.

Asakawa Yo didn't chat with the two for long; she simply greeted them and left.

She continued walking toward the station, but no longer stepped into the puddles.

Just looking at his back, you could tell he seemed a bit down.

Did I do something wrong?

Asahi looked at Natsugiri Kai with a puzzled expression.

"No," Xia Wuzhao said. "Perhaps it's because she saw that your shoes were wet from the rain, so she didn't want to step in the puddles anymore."

"What kind of reason is that?" Aoi frowned.

But the two continued walking; they were almost home.

Then, take a shower, change your clothes, and it'll be another wonderful day.

"How wonderful."

Asakawa Yo thought to herself, she felt that the sunflower she had just seen was very happy.

"It's really incomprehensible why Aoi Asahi can be so happy."

Asakawa Yao muttered.

To be fair, she did look down on Aoi Asahi.

—Because the sunflower is just too weak.

He always buried himself in his studies, never becoming famous or making a sound.

I have many friends, but none of them are enough to be called friends.

In Asakawa Yo's own eyes, those friends were just a bunch of weaklings huddling together for warmth.

Asahi, who mingled with these people, was naturally a weak person.

Just thinking this, she took a deep breath and watched her breath dissipate like mist as the raindrops knocked it away.

The rain was getting heavier, and the umbrella was being pounded and swaying back and forth.

Asakawa Yo had to use both hands to hold onto the umbrella to keep herself from getting wet.

But the fine, continuous rain, blown by the wind, seeped into her rain boots.

In the blink of an eye, her dry cotton socks were soaked, causing Asakawa Yo to frown deeply.

With just one step, the water inside the rain boots would make a squeaking sound.

"That's disgusting."

She looked down at her feet.

"That's disgusting."

She looked at the rain outside and then touched the scar on her right eye.

Then he headed towards the station.
