I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

However, because of Xia Wuzhao's presence, they did not show it too obviously.

There was a large empty space around the two of them.

The other blank space was for Risa Yajima, but she didn't seem to care and continued carrying her schoolbag with a lazy air.

She knew that in a place like this, if you gave up, lost, and hid...

You'll be constantly bullied by others.

The more disheveled you are, the more you should pretend to be someone not to be messed with.

Even a paper tiger is still a tiger.

Before entering the classroom, Aoi always thought she would encounter Keiko blocking her way.

But nothing happened.

After changing into indoor shoes, she entered the teaching building and wondered if Keiko was in her office again.

But nothing happened until noon.

Even Aoi Asahi had some doubts.

—Have you given up on your own mother, Keiko?

But then I thought it might be impossible.

"It's my own mother, I could never abandon her."

Thinking this to herself, she discussed it with Xia Wuzhao at noon.

The two of them were eating lunch in the sun on the rooftop, chatting casually.

In the end, they still didn't manage to talk about anything.

When they left, Aoi Asahi locked the rooftop.

"This lock is a bit rusty."

Asahi pressed down hard and turned the key.

It took a lot of effort to finally lock the door.

"We should change the lock."

The girl said this.

"It's good that it works," Xia Wuzhao said. "We'll be leaving here in July."

"July."

The girl felt a little worried: "I wonder what the Second New Tokyo will be like."

In the afternoon, there is a physical education class.

The boys went to play soccer or rest.

The girls went to practice swimming, and were taught by the girls from the swimming club.

There are only four or five lanes in the pool, so everyone has to wait in line.

The girls at the back of the line hid in the corner, enjoying the shade.

Many girls carefully tried to please Asahi Aoi.

But Aoi ignored them.

The girls looked somewhat disheveled, and a few even seemed quite embarrassed.

At that moment, Risa Yajima walked up to Aoi Asahi.

When the other girls saw this, they all made excuses to leave.

Those watching from a distance were all somewhat anticipating what would happen next.

Are we going to start fighting with Aoi again?

They felt a surge of joy, both Aoi Asahi and Risa Yajima.

They would cheer no matter who lost.

To everyone's utter disappointment, Risa Yajima simply bent over and looked at Aoi Asahi.

"Keiko will definitely come looking for you today. You mustn't be soft-hearted, Aoi Asahi."

She sneered, seemingly believing that Aoi Asahi would actually soften her heart.

Aoi Asahi glanced at Risa Yajima and said, "I hate my mother just as much as you do."

“Of course I know that,” Risa Yajima said. “But you’re a good girl. I hate good girls like you the most because you always soften your hearts on important matters and let everything go in the worst possible direction.”

Aoi Asahi merely sneered at Risa Yajima's words, showing some disdain.

There was even some sarcasm.

Risa Yajima wasn't angry. She gave Aoi Asahi another mocking laugh before leaving.

The girl glanced at her, thinking to herself.

"How could I possibly be soft-hearted? I am so happy now, and my life is so wonderful."

"I've finally found a place that feels like home, how could I possibly be soft-hearted?"

As she thought this, she looked at the dense pine trees and seemed to see Xia Wuzhao.

-----------------

Keiko lingered outside the school, anxiously waiting for the school to let out.

I had countless urges to rush in and find the sunflower.

But I suppressed it countless times.

"If I do that, Aoi definitely won't listen to me. I have to use another method."

"I have to wait here."

She paced back and forth nervously, thinking this through her mind.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the ringtone.

Since it was right after school, there weren't many people going home.

A short while later, she saw Asahi Aoi come out.

Xia Wuzhao was standing next to her.

Huizi glanced at it, feeling a pang of jealousy.

But she suppressed it, glanced around to make sure no one else was there, and then quickly walked up to Aoi Asahi.

She said, "Daughter, I've finally found you."

Looking at Keiko, who was slightly disheveled, Aoi said, "Mother, I won't change my mind. You don't need to look for me anymore."

Huizi said awkwardly, "I know, I know this."

"But please listen to me. Listen before you make a decision. Once you listen, I promise I will never bother you again."

She spoke in a humiliating and pathetic manner.

She doesn't seem like a mother at all.

Aoi looked at it for a long time before finally saying, "Okay, where do we want to go?"

"How about going home? Where did you leave your dress and shoes?" Huizi said, "This really isn't a place to talk."

That's not my home.

"Yes, yes, yes," Keiko quickly replied.

As Aoi was about to leave, Natsugiri Kai grabbed her arm.

Although she didn't say anything, Aoi Asahi understood what Natsugiri Kai was worried about.

"Natsugiri, believe me," Aoi Asahi said earnestly, "This time, I will put an end to everything."

Chapter 84 Burning Memories of the Past [3K/10k]

"I will absolutely make a clean break, I will definitely do it."

"Because I have become a strong child, I have learned what true happiness looks like. I know what family is, I know what family members are."

"My mother-in-law treats me very well, just like my own grandmother, making me feel the warmth of home."

"Although Xia Wu is awkward, she is doing it for her own good. It is Xia Wu who has made herself stronger."

"Therefore, I will definitely make a clean break today. Because I have realized that if I continue to entangle myself with my mother, I will only be dragged into the quagmire."

"I will not give up this happiness that is within my reach. For the sake of this happiness, I absolutely cannot lose."

With immense determination, Aoi sat on the train, her back ramrod straight, almost like a dignified samurai.

Yesterday's happiness and past suffering have forged a sharp blade.

She will use this long sword to cut everything down.

She had made up her mind.

The tram rattled past the abandoned seaside station, and she found herself next to a bench in the open space.

I don't know when it was cleared away, the weeds and pebbles have all disappeared, and only the unknown seedlings are sprouting from the soil, swaying their two small, tender green leaves in the summer breeze.

She smiled, recalling the past.

Huizi gripped the handle tightly, her palms glistening with sweat.

Looking at Aoi Asahi, who was just across the aisle from her, she felt nothing but despair.

"This is my daughter, and she's changed. She's not the same Asahi Sunflower anymore. Can I really win her over?"

"But for my own happiness, I absolutely have to work hard, and I absolutely cannot lose."

Keiko took a deep breath; she had made up her mind.

The tram finally stopped, and the two of them got off at the station.

I walked toward the familiar place, which was still dark and damp.

Just getting close to this place, you feel the dampness following you everywhere, and the cold wind makes you instinctively wrap your clothes tighter.

"If it were before, I probably would never have walked in so decisively."

"Before, I always hesitated for a while, and I always lingered outside for a long time before coming back."

Asahi followed the simple stairs to the second floor. The corridor was dark and damp, and there was always some moisture on the ground.

Just standing here, she vaguely saw herself wandering around here before.

Keiko hurriedly opened the door, greeting Aoi Asahi with a mixture of warmth and sorrow. She said ingratiatingly, "Aoi, come in quickly. Mom has tidied this place up so well, it's completely different from before."

Seeing Keiko being so subservient, Aoi Asahi felt a mix of emotions.

After all, she's his mother.

She shook her head and said, "You don't need to do that. No matter what you do or say, I won't agree."

Stepping inside, the interior is completely different from what I've seen before.

The windows were wide open, letting in a cool breeze.

"So this is what it looks like here."

For the first time, Aoi took a complete look at the living room. There used to be a low cabinet in the corner.

In the past, the curtains were always drawn here, and the surroundings were gloomy.

She was somewhat dazed as she sat down at the low table.

Keiko ran around pouring water for Asahi and bringing her snacks.

However, Aoi Asahi did not react to this at all.

Looking only at Keiko, he said to her, "Tell me what you want. But no matter what, my answer will only be one thing: no."

Keiko humbly took out her phone and placed it in front of Aoi Asahi. She pointed to her chat history with Jiro Yajima: "Look, this is what Jiro Yajima said. If you can perform well in front of Jiro Yajima just once, Mom will be able to marry him."

"Look, this is the evidence."
