"Is there?" The girl raised her arm and sniffed gently.

But all I could smell was my own fragrance.

"There's nothing there at all." She looked at Xia Wuzhao in confusion, then casually held out her arm to Xia Wuzhao: "Look, smell it, there's absolutely nothing there."

Xia Wuzhao looked at the girl standing on tiptoe in front of him and grabbed her arm.

I pressed so hard that my fingers almost left marks on it.

A slight hint of joy appeared on the girl's face, and her crimson pupils widened slightly.

A certain light emanated from within.

Xia Wuzhao forcefully grabbed the girl's arm and pinned her against the steel wire safety netting surrounding the rooftop.

Her slender arms were raised above her head and pressed against the protective netting.

The skin on my arms seemed to have been pressed down and left marks.

The girl smiled devilishly: "So you finally couldn't resist? But here, others will find out."

"If someone happens to look up and see this scene..."

"You'll find out that we're doing this kind of thing."

Kirishima Chiho coaxed, "But don't you think it's very unique? The lingerie I'm wearing today is a black 'Winning Lingerie,' embroidered with blooming petals and edged with lace, which complements my fair skin perfectly."

The girl said in a sweet and alluring tone, "Would you like to see?"

Xia Wuzhao looked at her and said, "This is the rooftop of the sixth floor, and the ground below is concrete. If you fall headfirst from here, you will definitely die. Even if you don't die, you will become a vegetable."

So, do you want to die?

The girl's pupils widened suddenly, and her body tensed up like a snake.

Her teeth chattered with excitement.

The girl's alluring and sweet request, which almost no one would refuse, had no effect whatsoever.

The girl was incredibly excited by Xia Wuzhao's cold and icy request, which almost everyone would refuse.

She was breathing rapidly, her cheeks flushed.

A gentle, angelic smile appeared on the girl's face: "Would you really do that?"

"If I wouldn't do that, then why are you bothering me?" Xia Wuzhao seemed to spit out icy words, making the girl's skin tremble.

"Because you have a peculiar indifference about you." The girl chuckled. "You really are a strange, cold person who doesn't care about anything."

Kirishima Chiho said to Natsugiri Kai, "I want to die. Come on, push me down."

She opened her crimson eyes wide and stared intently at Xia Wuzhao.

Waiting for my body to flip over the high railing, my vision spinning, my body experiencing a strong sense of weightlessness, and the urge to vomit uncontrollably.

She was greedy, not wanting to miss a single moment.

Xia Wuzhao replied, "Do you think I would grant your wish so easily?"

"I also have conditions."

He said that.

The girl's eyes widened in surprise, a deep longing rising from within.

She smiled and said, "You can do whatever you want. My body was trained by a professional female gymnast and a professional female dance teacher, so my flexibility is unbelievable."

Natsuki Kai said to her, "It's not that simple, Kirishima Chiho. My requirements are not just these. But if you fulfill ten of my requirements, I will fulfill one of yours."

The girl looked at him: "Are you sure you can do it?"

“I never lie,” Xia Wuzhao replied.

"So, what are your requirements?"

Xia Wuzhao said, "The first thing I want you to do is to take a small revenge on your mother."

"I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll do, Kirishima Chiho."

Chapter 98 Flowers Blooming on the Concrete Floor

"I won't do it."

Kirishima Chiho was pinned to the barbed wire fence, but she said, "Natsugiri, you really are cunning."

"They deliberately used that demand to deceive me."

She scoffed, "I'm a wanton girl, not a stupid one. What do you want me to do? How strange! Do you think I don't understand?"

The girl moved close to Xia Wuzhao, her breath almost touching Xia Wuzhao's face.

"I know all that, but I don't want to do that. That's not what I want."

Kirishima Chiho smiled slyly, a kind of crazy and twisted light flashing in her scarlet eyes.

"If I had actually done that, I might have changed my mind."

"But the world won't change. Even if a tree can regain its original strength, it will only face the next round of felling. Every time it successfully recovers, it will be felled again."

The girl said, "Do you know how many times it takes to chop down an ordinary tree? It takes at least forty forceful blows to cut down every ten centimeters. An eighteen-year-old tree can only grow a maximum of forty centimeters."

"So it takes a total of one hundred and sixty strikes. Each of these one hundred and sixty strikes must be delivered with all your might, and each strike to the human body can cause excruciating pain, breaking bones and flesh."

Kirishima Chiho smiled wistfully; "The faster a tree grows and the stronger its regenerative ability, the more it is felled. And the slower a tree grows and the easier it is to die, the more precious it becomes."

"But in the end, it will still be cut down."

"If that's the case, why bother growing at all? Wouldn't it be better to just die?"

"That way, we won't have to endure the pain of logging."

She spoke of it so easily, as if blowing away a feather.

Watching the feather swirl in the sunlight before falling into the swamp.

"Besides, I don't hate my mother at all, so what reason do I have to hate her? I just feel sorry for her."

Kirishima Chiho raised her face, her angelic face filled with a gentle smile.

"So, I won't agree to your request."

"How about that? Ridiculous, isn't it? Infuriating, isn't it?"

Kirishima Chiho said, "Then push me down."

She smiled gently: "You can do whatever you want until then. But that kind of expectation of yours is forbidden."

Xia Wuzhao looked at Kirishima Chiho and sneered, "You're truly pathetic."

"You only just realized it now?" Kirishima Chiho tilted her head, puzzled. "I thought you'd noticed it a long time ago."

The girl smiled and said, "A pathetic person might not have any reason to live. So, please help me."

"Are you talking about this kind of thing again? Do you really think I would agree to your request?"

Xia Wuzhao looked at Kirishima Chiho and said, "Where do you get your confidence, Kirishima Chiho? Would I commit murder and ruin my life for you?"

"Because isn't that kind of person?" Kirishima Chiho smiled gently. "Aren't you the kind of person who's stubborn to the point of madness? I can see the colors in your eyes."

"It's black."

“You’re more paranoid and insane than I am. If you think it’s the right thing to do, you’ll do it anyway. As for the consequences, that’s just an excuse you make up to appease ordinary people.”

She stared intently into Xia Wuzhao's pupils: "There's such madness in your eyes, I understand, I can feel it."

"If you believe it's the right thing to do, then you will definitely do it."

She smiled, the scents of jasmine, amber, and violets emanating from her with the heat of the day.

The girl whispered, "You are my kind, Xia Wuzhao. We are both monsters in human skin. Beneath my skin lies a demon. What lies beneath your skin?"

"You're a good person, I can feel it, you're a good person."

Xia Wuzhao looked at her and said, "So that's how it is. I never thought I was this kind of person. Actually, I'm a good person who cares about every girl with psychological problems, which is why I try my best to help her. I just use indifferent methods to help her silently, and I just use desperate scenarios to let the girl change on her own and spread her wings and fly."

"Oh, I never thought I was such a cold-faced but warm-hearted guy. It's like something out of a morning drama on TV, it's so embarrassing."

Xia Wuzhao looked at the girl and said casually, "I was actually a good person. That's unbelievable. You're the first person to say that to me, so please don't tell anyone else."

"Because it's really too embarrassing."

Despite saying this, Xia Wuzhao's expression remained calm, even subtly revealing a hint of sarcasm.

"As a good person, it seems I should help you. But as a good person, I can't bring myself to kill you."

As he said this, with a calm smile, he added, "How about we think of some other ways that might convince me?"

The girl seemed stunned by Xia Wuzhao's appearance.

"Chichi."

Kirishima Chiho couldn't help but laugh.

Her hair flew as she laughed: "It's not me who's trying to convince you, it's you who should be convincing me, Xia Wuzhao."

"Should I be the one to convince you?" Xia Wuzhao asked with some doubt. "I just found a strange door at night, but when I went in, I found the class monitor, who is as gentle as an angel, wearing strange clothes inside, and then I got entangled with her. It's really a headache."

"So, what am I supposed to convince you of?"

Xia Wuzhao looked at the girl, as if demanding an answer.

But Kirishima Chiho just looked at him and smiled: "Trying to convince me not to die."

Why should I try to convince you?

"You're always so stubborn in your confrontations with others, Xiawu." The girl smiled. "If you want to save a girl like me, shouldn't you make me feel happy, feel the warmth of humanity? Only then will I give up, right? That's what you should be doing. Even if changing my mind is impossible, why don't you try?"

"Maybe I'll change my mind?"

She smiled gently, her eyes sparkling, as if hoping for Xia Wuzhao's agreement.

Do you think I would do something pointless?

"Maybe?" the girl said. "Besides, aren't you doing something futile right now?"

She smiled gently as she looked at Xia Wuzhao.

Xia Wuzhao looked at her: "Then, how about you come and save me? Aren't you always babbling on and on like a psychologist? Besides, this has nothing to do with your family or your mother. So, you should have no worries. If you really can do that, maybe I can grant your request."

"Really?" Kirishima Chiho looked at Natsuki Kai with her crimson eyes.

"I have never told a lie."

"Heh heh, that's not credible at all," the girl said with a slight smile, pursing her lips.

"So, I've never told the truth?" Xia Wuzhao replied nonchalantly.

“It’s not credible either.” Kirishima Chiho looked at Natsuki Kai with her crimson eyes.

Xia Wuzhao said dismissively, "So, you're going to refuse?"

But Kirishima Chiho smiled gently and said, "I'm the class representative, of course I'd take care of you if something happens to you, how could I possibly refuse?"

As she spoke, Natsuki Kai stopped pressing Kirishima Chiho tightly against the guardrail.

Instead, he took the girl's hand and led her to the sixth floor.

She opened the window, and a rapid, fierce gust of hot air made Kirishima Chiho's hair shake violently.

Xia Wuzhao grabbed her by the neck and forcefully pressed her against the windowsill.

Half of her body was pushed forward, and it seemed she was about to fall at any moment.

The girl's crimson eyes gazed at the sky, gradually becoming more and more mesmerized.

A smile gradually appeared on her lips.

—It wasn't an angelic, gentle smile, nor a devilish, cunning one.

Instead, it was a simple yet happy smile.

It was as if it were saying—finally, my wish will come true.

I feel a little nauseous.

My heart started racing.

My body was trembling.
