I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

Xia Wuzhao waited a while before opening the door and glancing at the Asahi Aoi in front of her.

Aoi Asahi was also looking at him.

She held a goldfish bowl, barefoot, her hair slightly disheveled by the sea breeze.

He looked rather disheveled.

"Is it her?" Xia Wuzhao looked at Yokokawa Jun.

“That’s right, it’s Aoi Asahi,” Jun Yokokawa said. “She’s a high school student, and after thinking it over, the only place she’d be safe to stay with you is here.”

Xia Wuzhao then looked at Asahi Aoi, gazing into her chestnut-colored eyes.

Aoi Asahi said, "Don't you want to, Natsugiri Kai?"

“I don’t want to.” Xia Wuzhao said without hesitation.

“But I can only come to you now,” Aoi said. “I broke off relations with my mother and was kicked out of the house.”

"So what? What does this have to do with me?"

Xia Wuzhao appeared extremely cold and unapproachable.

“It’s because of you that I was kicked out of my home, Natsugiri Kai,” Asahi Aoi said. “Now I have nowhere else to go, so how about I take some responsibility?”

"Rent, 60,000 yen."

"Natsugiri, the school will allocate funds for you." Jun Yokokawa was quite helpless about the interaction between the two.

"Then, please come in." Xia Wuzhao made way for the two of them to enter.

Everything here was covered with white cloth, making it look brand new.

Aoi looked at it and then placed the goldfish bowl on the table.

Xia Wuzhao glanced at it, and seeing the goldfish swimming happily in the bowl, she looked away.

Chapter 70 The Truth Intertwined with Lies [2/5]

Asahi Aoi had very little luggage, only a few pieces.

However, it still took her three or four trips to finish tidying up.

Jun Yokokawa sat on the sofa and tapped his cigarette on the armrest: "May I smoke?"

Xia Wuzhao pointed to the remaining writing on the window: "What do you think, teacher?"

"That's fine then." Yokokawa Jun skillfully took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.

"call--"

She sighed and said, "Aren't you going to help?"

"Why should I help, teacher?"

"The teacher asked you to do this. What's your reason?"

"Not very good."

Xia Wuzhao chatted casually with Yokokawa Jun, then glanced at the floor, which was covered in dirt from Asahi Aoi's footsteps.

He said, "July, July is the time to go to the Second New Tokyo, right?"

“That’s right,” Jun Yokokawa said. “You can continue to rent out this house at that time and live off the rent in Second New Tokyo.”

"If you can't find someone willing to rent it, I can try to find a way for you."

"No need, teacher." Xia Wuzhao declined Yokokawa Jun's offer.

Jun Yokokawa didn't seem to care much; she finished her cigarette and was about to leave.

But at the very end, she added an extra word of advice: "Don't do anything bad."

Xia Wuzhao nodded.

Aoi had already moved all her luggage. Before that, she had re-tied the seashells and strips of cloth to the pillars of the abandoned station.

She didn't wander around aimlessly. Instead, she went to the bathroom first, washed her calves and feet with the shower, and then put on black calf socks before coming out.

She was also carrying a mop, and she seemed extremely skilled, cleaning the floor with ease.

They seemed to have done this countless times before.

"You seem to consider this place your home, Aoi Asahi." Natsugiri Kai looked at the busy Aoi Asahi and said, "Aren't you going to say anything?"

After Asahi Aoi finished taking care of everything and put the tools back in the tool room, she sat down on the sofa opposite Natsugiri Kai.

The white drape was pressed into countless groove-like folds, and the light flowed along these grooves like a river onto the sunflower.

Asahi Aoi said, "What do you want me to say, Natsugiri Kai?"

"Do I need to beg you? Or do you want me to obey you completely?"

The girl's voice was cold and indifferent. She lay on her side on the sofa and then lifted the hem of her skirt.

"Or are you going to do something to me?"

"But even if you do something to me, I have no way to resist."

"Do you want to give it a try?" Aoi Asahi said, "But if you do that, you won't get this month's allowance, which would be perfect for me. When we get to Tokyo No. 2, I can use it to pay my rent."

Xia Wuzhao picked up the water glass that Yokokawa Jun hadn't touched and promptly splashed it on Asahi Aoi's face.

Her hair became wet, and water dripped uncontrollably down her cheeks.

"Aoi Asahi, don't joke like that." Natsugiri Kai placed the cup on the table.

"Do you think I would say that to just anyone?"

"Isn't it only natural for the daughter of a bartender to do this kind of thing?"

Aoi Asahi said in a detached tone, "After all, I'm just a high school girl who ran away from home."

Xia Wuzhao stood up and glanced at the goldfish on the table: "Don't think that I'll be lenient with you just because you brought this thing over, Asahi Aoi."

Don't you think you're being a bit arrogant?

Aoi Asahi said, "If a bowl of goldfish could make you forgive me, I wouldn't have done that."

After standing up, Xia Wuzhao said to Asahi Aoi, "Come with me, I'll show you the room."

The firm has a spacious living room where guests are seated in the sunlight by the window.

On the other side is an open kitchen, with stacks of bowls and chopsticks.

Walking down a corridor, you'll find offices, a storage room, and four bedrooms.

The bedroom that Asahi looked into was a new bedroom; after lifting the white cover, you could see the brand-new bedding underneath.

The color scheme is blue and white stripes, reminiscent of a boarding school.

"You are free to use anything in this bedroom. You are also free to browse the books in the kitchen and the bookshelves."

Xia Wuzhao said, "However, after using it, you must restore it to its original state."

"Isn't that obvious?" Aoi looked inside. "Or do you think I'm a girl who doesn't know anything?"

Xia Wuzhao did not answer Asahi Aoi's question, but simply said to her, "The key is in the bowl on the cabinet by the door. You can take one as your own key."

And so, the conversation came to an end.

They were like unrelated tenants and landlords.

He turned around to turn off the light and go to sleep.

Squeezing her fingers, Asahi Aoi suddenly said, "Natsugiri Kai, why did you say those things on the rooftop back then?"

"What did you say?" Xia Wuzhao said, "I think I've already forgotten."

"really?"

"It's probably true."

"Well, you really are a liar, Xia Wuzhao."

“Every word I said is true,” Xia Wuzhao replied.

"So, are you really not going to launch a night raid tonight?" Aoi Asahi said calmly, "Only tonight will I leave the door open."

Ignoring Asahi Aoi's ramblings, Xia Wuzhao walked into the living room.

He touched the surface of the small bowl of water with his finger to create tiny ripples, and after watching the goldfish swim around once, he turned off the light.

After Asahi lay down on the bed, exhaustion washed over her like the sea from all directions.

Perhaps it was because the environment here was too warm, or perhaps it was because she hadn't had a full night's sleep in a bed for a very long time.

This exhaustion was so overwhelming that it brought one's thoughts to a standstill.

In a daze, she fell into a deep sleep.

Just before she fell into a deep sleep, a sentence suddenly came to her mind.

"Perhaps the answer lies in the truth that cannot be spoken."

Xia Wuzhao, on the other hand, was listening to Xiao Ai's report.

"Lord Natsugiri, the gap in Asahi's heart has shrunk considerably. The demon has been compressed even more; only the final step remains."

Xiao Ai said with some delight, "It was definitely the right thing to leave that family. But, Asahi Aoi actually left that family on her own. I thought I would still need your help, Natsugiri-sama."

But amidst her joy, she asked with a hint of doubt, "So, what will Aoi face in the end?"

“She is facing herself, and the whole world.” Xia Wuzhao gave an answer that Xiao Ai couldn’t understand at all.

Chapter 71 The Silence Entangled by Nettles [3/5]

After returning home, Risa Yajima told her mother about her achievements that day.

She seemed extremely happy and kept talking.

Momono Yajima listened attentively.

He would occasionally cheer for his daughter.

Jiro Yajima appeared extremely exhausted. After returning home, he finally laid his cards on the table.

"Let's get a divorce."

He said those words to Momono Yajima.

"Dad!" Risa Yajima asked, "You don't actually want to marry Keiko, do you?"

“That’s right,” Yajima Jiro said. “I want to marry her.”

"Why?" Momono Yajima was extremely upset. She said, "Why? We've been married for over ten years, and our child is all grown up. Why do we have to get a divorce now?"

'Could it be that Huizi is really that good?'

“It’s because we’ve been married for over ten years,” Yajima Jiro said. “So, I’m just tired of it.”

She looked up at Momono Yajima: "Don't you ever get tired of it?"

"Tired of what?" Momono Yajima said in a low voice, "Does the time come when husband and wife start to hate each other?"

She said, "Does this mean that when the time comes, we'll get a divorce?"

Yajima Jiro was speechless, only saying, "I have already made up my mind."

Momono Yajima broke down emotionally, and she lay there crying bitterly.

After comforting Risa Yajima for a while, she waited until Momono Yajima entered the room.

She then said to Yajima Jiro with dissatisfaction, "Dad, how could you do this!"

"How am I?" Jiro Yajima looked at Risa Yajima with disappointment. "Risa, you've really disappointed me. I thought you were a good girl."

"Good child? What good is being a good child?" Risa Yajima said angrily, "Dad, if I'm a good child, won't you divorce me?"

"Just because I'm a good boy doesn't mean you'll fall for that slut."

She spoke loudly, looking at Yajima Jiro.

“These are not the same thing, Risa,” Jiro Yajima said. “You can’t confuse the two.”

“That’s all there is to it, Dad!” Risa Yajima said. “You were wrong first!”

Jiro Yajima sighed: 'Was I wrong? Was I wrong first?'
