I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

She thought this time would be just as difficult as before, but it wasn't.

With just a thought, he made a choice.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I can only apologize to you again, but I hope this apology isn't enough."

She thought that such a betrayal shouldn't be anything serious.

Because I have also been let down many times.

"But this time the choice was too easy; I hesitated for only a moment. The first time, I was conflicted and confused. The second time, I needed to make a great deal of determination."

"But this time, I made this decision in just a moment."

"So, I've gradually fallen into depravity?"

"So, I've become so attached to the tranquil atmosphere of that summer mist?"

"So, I've already been taken for a ride by Xia Wu."

"It turns out that Xia Wu is far more important to me than my mother."

She turned to look at Xia Wuzhao, but Xia Wuzhao still had that indifferent gaze.

However, there was an Asahi sunflower standing next to her.

She frowned, feeling that Asahi Aoi and Natsugiri Kai seemed to be getting a little too close.

The thought flashed through my mind, then remained buried deep within.

She couldn't help but think about it again.

"Did I fail? Did I lose my bet with him? No, I haven't lost yet."

"If a scheming girl can't get close to you, what about a girl who's completely captivated by you?"

Will a girl who loves you wholeheartedly make you happy?

"Xia Wuzhao, I can no longer resist you. Under your control, I will definitely become the person you want me to be."

"Will you feel happy then?"

"By then, will you have won, or will I have won?"

"If that's the case, then I've simply changed from my mother's crown to yours. What difference does it make?"

"Or do you have another way?"

She looked at Xia Wuzhao, then looked away.

Kirishima Chiho simply smiled gently at her mother: "Mom, it's okay. It's just a normal literature club activity, nothing serious."

What she said seemed no different from before, but she only smiled gently.

After slightly freeing herself from her mother's grasp, Kirishima Chiho walked straight into the car.

Yoshiko was shocked; she couldn't understand why her method, which she was certain to succeed, had failed.

She was too incredulous to stand up, but Kirishima Chiho simply pushed open the door and urged her, "Mom, let's go home."

This was the first time she had heard Kirishima Chiho command her in such a tone.

Yoshiko was almost going crazy; her anger was about to erupt.

However, she suppressed everything.

She said, "Okay."

After getting into the car, Chiho said to the driver, "Let's go."

The driver nodded and started the vehicle.

Yoshiko Kirishima bit her lip, her panic growing stronger.

"It's alright, it's alright, I have other methods. Chiho will never escape my grasp, absolutely not."

Yoshiko Kirishima tried desperately to comfort herself.

Chiho simply stared silently out the window, lost in thought.

"Mom, your methods are terrible. You can't outsmart Xia Wuzhao."

"Now, I'm protecting you too."

The girl silently comforted herself, then opened the window to let the wind blow in.

At first, the wind was quite hot, but as the car started moving, the wind became cold.

The wind made Kirishima Yoshiko's clothes tremble violently.

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

Xia Wuzhao watched the car drive away from the school gate, then prepared to go home.

But the person following behind was none other than Aoi Asahi.

"What are you doing?"

Xia Wuzhao looked at the sunflower in front of him and asked in confusion.

"I want to go to the library to look at medical books and find a way to cure my amnesia. But I also want to be by Xia Wuzhao's side."

Aoi hesitated, knowing she should go to the library.

Yet, I still couldn't help but feel a lingering attachment in my heart.

"I just wanted to tell you about Kirishima Chiho."

Aoi pinched her hair, trying to come up with an excuse.

"What's there to say about Chiho's matter?" Xia Wuzhao seemed unconcerned.

"You've never called me that so affectionately before!"

Aoi's face darkened. She said, "If you don't want to take responsibility for Chiho, then don't get too intimate with her."

"Lovers, just holding hands is enough. A kiss is just a touch."

The girl emphasized, "Do you have the resolve to marry Chiho right now? Absolutely not."

"So, it's best not to get too intimate."

She emphasized that.

But Xia Wuzhao said, "Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

Aoi emphasized these things forcefully.

Looking into Xia Wuzhao's eyes, Asahi Aoi felt slightly relieved after he listened to her.

Although she really wanted to go home with Xia Wuzhao, she still said, "You must remember these things."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the library.

They left cleanly and decisively, without the slightest trace of lingering reluctance.

Xia Wuzhao didn't go to see her again; she simply took the tram home.

And once again, she went to that flower shop and said to Chiharu Tokisaka with her pale gold eyes, "It's the same as before."

"Chamomile, baby's breath, Australian wintersweet, and starflower, and no message card needed."

Chiharu Tokisaka smiled and said, "Are these the same requirements?"

"Okay." Xia Wuzhao nodded, indicating that these were all she needed.

Her long, chestnut-colored hair, tied up like a witch's, swayed slightly, and she wore a bright smile: "So, did you get your points card from last time? If not, you'll be missing a mark."

Chiharu Tokisaka smiled energetically and waved the seal in her hand.

He looked very happy.

After Xia Wuzhao handed the points card to Tokisaka Chiharu, the girl with light gold eyes exclaimed and stamped it with her seal.

It still has the same cute chibi style, and it looks extremely adorable.

"Hey, all done."

Chiharu Tokisaka returned the points card to Kai Natsugiri and asked, "Would you like the bouquet of flowers I'm giving away today still be sunflowers?"

As she spoke, she deliberately looked outside.

"However, your girlfriend didn't come along today."

She was deliberately teasing Xia Wuzhao, looking quite pleased with herself.

"She is not my girlfriend," Xia Wuzhao emphasized once again.

"Well, junior, you'd better work hard!" Chiharu Tokisaka waved her fist. "Asahi Aoi must be the girl who gave the speech back then, and she's so pretty. If you don't hurry, someone else might take advantage of you."

She blinked: "So, you can just ignore the fact that she's someone else's girlfriend?"

Xia Wuzhao frowned but did not answer her question.

He said impatiently, "I don't need the complimentary flowers. Just send the flowers I ordered."

"You're changing the subject, huh, junior?" Chiharu Tokisaka said. "I knew you still cared about it."

His pale gold eyes were full of gossip and smugness.

Just as Xia Wuzhao was about to retort, she heard her phone ring.

Chiharu Tokisaka's expression stiffened for a moment, then she said to Kai Natsugiri, "Junior, wait a minute. I need to take this call."

As she spoke, she pulled a flip phone out of her pocket.

This kind of phone is very, very old; only grandparents' generation would use this kind of old-fashioned flip phone.

Hold the phone to your ear, with your palm cupped next to it.

This will make your speech clearer.

"Hello? Mom?"

She said it in a low voice.

"Chiharu?" A kind voice came from the other end of the line: "How have you been lately?"

“It’s the same as before,” Chiharu Tokisaka said softly. “The florist really likes me; she even took me shopping before.”

"Oh, I see. That puts my mind at ease." The mother's voice on the other end of the line was relieved. "It really worried me that you, a girl, went to the big city all by yourself. Luckily, your flower shop is owned by a woman."

Chiharu Tokisaka glanced at Natsugiri Kai somewhat awkwardly, then whispered, "Mom, I'm fine here."

"Mom knows you're fine, Mom just wanted to talk to you," the mother on the other end of the phone said. "After all, Mom is so worried about you."

Chiharu Tokisaka offered another long speech of comforting words.

Her mother then said, "Look at you, all I want to hear is your voice, and you're so impatient. If you have money, go buy a good phone that can make video calls. I haven't seen you in so long, I don't even know if you've gained or lost weight."

Chiharu Tokisaka said awkwardly, "Mom, I'll have enough money after I work for a while longer."

After complaining for a while, her mother said, "Then let your dad talk to you. It's been a long time since he's heard your voice."

A moment later, a gruff voice came through the phone: "Daughter, how have you been lately?"

"It's alright, it's alright," Chiharu Tokisaka could only repeat once more.

"That's good enough." Her father said, "Don't work so hard. Even if you're working, you have to take care of your health. I heard that people in big cities don't eat breakfast. You can't do that. Your body won't be able to handle it if you don't eat breakfast. Go to bed early at night too. It's good for your health. Don't work too long."

"I understand, Dad," Chiharu Tokisaka said softly.

After her father spoke for a while, Chiharu Tokisaka awkwardly said, "Dad, I'm still working right now."

Her father then said, "Alright, alright, then you can continue working."

Only after that did they finally hang up the phone.

Chiharu Tokisaka quickly put her phone in her pocket before finally showing a smile.

She deliberately acted cute, saying to Xia Wuzhao, "Do you want me to give the flowers to Asahi Aoi? She should be in the school library right now."

Xia Wuzhao paused for a moment, wondering if this guy was being a little too enthusiastic.

He simply said, "Whatever, as long as I don't sign my name."
