I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

Although it's already the second New Tokyo, it still retains the pride of Tokyoites.

They look down on people from other places.

Although they maintained politeness, a deep sense of estrangement remained between them.

Although the people in the seaside town have a traditional skill of observing the air, it is precisely because they observe the air so much that they become somewhat obsequious.

This led to some people looking down on those from the seaside town, even though it wasn't outwardly expressed, it was the truth.

However, the students come from the seaside town.

They have their reasons for their confidence – namely, Aoi Asahi and Natsugiri Kai.

These two students have excellent academic performance; they should be considered top students even here.

If they can become number one, then they can hold their heads high and treat the people around them with pride.

—We people from our seaside town are no worse than you.

So in the morning, the former class monitor found Asahi Aoi.

She called Aoi outside and chatted with her about things from the past.

Asahi listened expressionlessly, but after a while she said, "What exactly is going on? You can just tell me directly, there's no need to beat around the bush like this."

The former class monitor was taken aback. She awkwardly pinched her hair and said, "Asahi-kun, you really have changed. You weren't like this before."

"I wasn't like this before, of course."

Asahi Aoi thought to herself.

The former class monitor looked at the sunflower in front of her and told her everything.

For example, the difficulties people encounter here far exceed the cost of living in a seaside town, and there is also an extraordinary sense of loneliness from being far from home.

And the anxiety at school, and the alienation from others.

She also told me what she wanted to do.

"If Asahi-kun, you could get first place," the former class monitor said. "That way, everyone's life would be a little better."

Asahi Aoi said, "No one can guarantee anything about exams. Besides, why should I do something like this for you? You have nothing to do with me."

Her words of indifference were more like a gentle kiss than a cold one.

Ultimately, in the seaside town, Asahi has no one she can call a friend.

The former class monitor looked at Aoi in surprise, feeling that the person in front of her didn't seem like Aoi.

Perhaps it's more like Xia Wuzhao.

She said softly, "I'm sorry to have bothered you, Asahi-kun. I'm so sorry."

Aoi simply nodded casually and prepared to return to her classroom.

"It's completely different from before."

The former class monitor thought to herself, her gaze towards Asahi Aoi filled with complex emotions.

He couldn't help but feel a little envious: "I really don't know what Xia Wuzhao did."

"what?"

Asahi Aoi immediately turned to look at the class president, frowning as she asked, "You mean Natsugiri Kai?"

The class monitor asked somewhat nervously, "Yes, what's wrong?"

After thinking for a moment, Aoi Asahi asked, "Was my relationship with Kai Natsugiri good before?"

The class monitor looked at Aoi in surprise, somewhat hesitant to speak.

But then I remembered that I had asked Aoi Asahi for help before, so it might not be right for me to say nothing now.

So she said very cautiously, "Actually, I don't really know either. It's just that you're in the same club and often eat lunch together. You seem to be friends, but I don't know the specifics of your relationship."

She asked, still puzzled, "Don't you know, Asahi-kun?"

Aoi Asahi didn't answer the question; she was only thinking about what had just been said.

Do we often eat lunch together?

She wanted to ask more questions, but she didn't say them.

Because she didn't have a good relationship with these people, she had no reason to ask.

She glanced at the class monitor in front of her and said, "I will try to get first place in terms of grades. But instead of asking me for help, you should ask Xia Wuzhao for help. Xia Wuzhao's grades are also very good."

The class monitor girl said somewhat embarrassedly, "Xia Wuzhao doesn't get along with anyone."

Aoi glanced at her and then prepared to leave the rooftop.

The class monitor hesitated before saying, "Asahi-kun, I saw Natsugiri Kai and Kirishima Chiho on a date yesterday."

"What does his dating have to do with me?"

Asahi Aoi said this, and then returned to the classroom.

But they went directly to find Xia Wuzhao.

Changzong, standing next to her, stared wide-eyed at Xia Wuzhao with an expression that seemed to say, "You still say it's okay?"

Asahi Aoi said to Choso, "Can I leave for a while?"

Chosoku quickly ran away.

After Chosoka left, Asahi Aoi bent down slightly.

With her long, dark hair cascading down her sides, she asked softly, "Do you remember when we used to eat lunch in the stairwell?"

Xia Wuzhao said in a doubtful tone, "Really? I've never eaten in the stairwell."

Asahi looked at Natsugiri Kai in front of her and said, "Is that so? Perhaps I remembered it wrong."

Xia Wuzhao said, "Then you must have misremembered."

Looking closely at Xia Wuzhao, Asahi Aoi couldn't tell the difference between the real and fake.

So she said, "Were you on a date with Kirishima Chiho yesterday? Chiho is a good girl, don't do anything to hurt her."

Xia Wuzhao looked at Asahi Aoi intently, but did not answer.

Chapter 131 Depravity is the contempt in the eyes of others

After Aoi returned to her seat, Chiho next to her asked curiously, "What were you guys doing just now?"

Her lips moved, but she said, "Nothing, we were just talking about the exam."

Chiho looked at Aoi like this and simply smiled gently: "Are you worried about the exam?"

Aoi wasn't worried about the exam; she just gave it a perfunctory answer.

After class started, she felt a little regretful.

"Why did I subconsciously hide my conversation with Xia Wuzhao?"

Asahi Aoi felt something was off about her, and she always seemed to be doing things that were hard to understand when she was around Natsugiri Kai.

During class, she was lost in thought, her brows furrowed.

After being called on by the teacher several times, she finally composed herself and began to listen attentively to the lesson. Kirishima Chiho glanced at Asahi Aoi and couldn't help but smile.

She might know something.

"Final exams are coming up soon, so everyone needs to stay focused in class. Don't think you can relax just because you're in Class A."

At the end, the teacher rambled on with admonitions.

Aoi knew the teacher was talking about her, and she listened with her lips pursed.

Fortunately, the teacher only said a few words before moving on to the next class.

Aoi Asahi felt that she had been somewhat distracted lately and hadn't been working hard enough. She felt she should work harder because she had no one to rely on but herself.

But just as she was thinking this, Chiho leaned close to her ear and asked, "Do you like Natsugiri Kai?"

"what?"

Aoi was startled and immediately looked at Chiho in astonishment.

She instinctively denied it: "How could that be? How could I like Xia Wuzhao? And where did you get the idea that I like him?"

Her denial was so swift that it sounded almost like she was in a panic.

Even she herself felt that her reaction was a bit off, as if she really had some unspeakable romance!

She was extremely annoyed.

Chiho smiled and said, "Because you always care about Xia Wuzhao, you always go to see her. And you've been paying attention to her, haven't you? What else could this kind of attention be but liking her?"

Aoi opened her lips, but couldn't say anything.

"Should I tell Chiho about the phantom that has been troubling me all along? Should I tell her about all the troubles I've been struggling with?"

Aoi couldn't bring herself to say it; she could only say, "It's not that I like you, it's just that my old classmates were talking about exams."

To explain, she told Kirishima Chiho about the favor her former class monitor had asked her to do.

Chiho nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Aoi and said, "But what does this have to do with you? And what does it have to do with Natsugiri Kai?"

Aoi Asahi was somewhat taken aback, and she offered another explanation.

Chiho looked at Aoi with an all-seeing gaze, which made Aoi feel uncomfortable.

She thought Chiho was extremely clever, but also extremely difficult to deal with.

She could only casually change the subject: "Were you on a date with Xia Wuzhao yesterday?"

"Yeah, that's right." Chiho winked at Aoi: "Are you jealous?"

Asahi Aoi was speechless. She frowned and said, "Why would I be jealous? I don't like Natsugiri Kai. Stop making these baseless guesses."

"Oh? Really?" Chiho pretended to be disbelieving and said to Aoi Asahi, "But how is this any different from liking someone?"

"Staying silently in love, unconsciously pursuing each other. That's what unrequited love is all about."

Aoi's face looked rather unpleasant; she also felt that the more she explained, the more it seemed like she was secretly in love.

"But why would I like Xia Wuzhao? I have no connection with him whatsoever."

She said to Chiho, "I have never liked Natsugiri Kai."

Chiho, however, said slyly, "Just because it didn't happen before doesn't mean it won't happen in the future."

Aoi Asahi could only say again, "Whether now or in the future, I will never fall in love with Natsugiri Kai."

After she finished speaking, she complained, "Didn't you also never date before? Your relationship with Xia Wuzhao was your first time, wasn't it? How come you talk about unrequited love or dating so knowledgeably?"

Chiho was stunned into silence, unable to utter a word.

Aoi Asahi pressed her advantage, saying, "Aren't you and Natsugiri Kai lovers? Why are you asking me this? Do you not trust Natsugiri Kai?"

"Even though we're lovers, I don't really care about these things," Kirishima Chiho said. "I was just asking casually."

The girl smiled gently, which puzzled Aoi.

"Are you really not bothered? How could a girl not care about something like this? After all, he's her boyfriend."

But the girl just smiled gently.

Aoi finally asked again, "What was your date like yesterday?"

After thinking for a while, Chiho said, "It's alright."

"Ordinary?" Aoi Asahi asked, somewhat puzzled. "A date? There are ordinary dates too?"

"Yeah, it's just a normal date, going out to a normal meeting place, killing time, and then parting ways in the evening," Chiho said. 'It's really normal.'

Aoi said, "Shouldn't dating be a mix of excitement and nervousness?"

Chiho glanced at Aoi Asahi and said, "Aoi, you've never been in love or dated. How do you know if it's right or wrong?"

Now it was Aoi's turn to turn pale.

That's really true. They both thought the other person had never been in a relationship, and they both spoke with great conviction.

This creates a somewhat strange sense of contrast.

In the end, the two of them tacitly stopped talking about it.
