I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

Aoi Asahi did not tell Chiho these things.

"Of course I understand that Chiho is asking about what happened between Natsugiri and me, but I don't want to talk about it."

"Because it is my treasure."

She didn't want to share her happiness, so she simply kept quiet.

Chiho could only smile and end the topic.

There was a black car waiting outside the school gate. Not seeing Chiho's mother, Asahi Aoi said to Chiho, "See you tomorrow, Chiho."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Chiho waved to Aoi Asahi and walked towards the car.

After glancing at it, Aoi turned and walked towards the library.

"I need to focus on my studies today."

She was planning her time, but first she had to do the laundry.

After Chiho got into the car, she told the driver to go home.

However, she asked, "Where is the nearest flower shop?"

The driver said, "Miss, there are many flower shops nearby. There are probably more than a dozen. Do you want to go to a flower shop?"

Chiho thought for a moment and said, "I think I'll postpone it today."

She wanted to find the florist who sent her the flowers so she could find evidence that it was Xia Wuzhao who sent them to her.

However, I didn't expect there to be so many flower shops; it was really hard to find one.

Then we can only hope to find some clues from the flowers. The shop's name should be printed on the outer packaging and ribbons.

However, when leaning back in the chair.

But then she suddenly thought of something.

I don't think I paid any attention to "happiness" today.

"I don't think I've been deliberately doing anything to make Xia Wu feel happy."

She asked herself with some confusion.

Am I just getting tired? Do I no longer want to fulfill my wishes?

"No, I still have a longing in my heart for my wish."

"But perhaps this is for the best. As long as I persevere, my wish will come true one day."

"I can always make Natsugiri happy one day."

She thought this as she looked at the scenery outside.

"However, today is different from the previous days. Even though nothing particularly memorable happened, it's just an ordinary day that makes me smile just thinking about it."

Chiho Kirishima opened the window, letting in the already cool breeze from outside.

The wind caused her crimson hair to flutter everywhere.

With that smile, she returned home.

However, Kirishima Yoshiko felt a little annoyed whenever she saw Chiho's smile.

She still smiled and asked, "Are you back so early today?"

"Yes, Mom." Chiho nodded with a smile. "Because the club activities ended early today. Mom, didn't you go to the party today?"

Yoshiko was slightly embarrassed.

Going to a party? How am I supposed to go to a party on my own right now?

There's nothing to brag about; going to a party just makes you a clown to be laughed at and made fun of.

She even felt that Chiho was mocking and ridiculing her.

His face suddenly turned very ugly, even somewhat exasperated.

But in the end, I just endured it and kept thinking about it.

"Let's see if you can still be so cocky after the exam tomorrow."

She smiled and said, "This is the first time Mom hasn't picked you up from school, so I was a little worried. How could you have gone to a party?"

Saying this, she quickly let Chiho in.

Chiho didn't answer Yoshiko's question, but went back to her room and began to study seriously.

She didn't leave the room to eat until dinner time.

At the dinner table, Yoshiko asked, "Chiho, do you think you can get first place in tomorrow's exam?"

Chiho said gently, "There are other students in the class, and they are all excellent students. If I were to say now that I could get first place, it would be really disrespectful to them."

This left Yoshiko speechless, and she could only eat her meal in silence.

Kirishima Toshio shook his head and said, "Whether you get first place or not doesn't matter. It's just a ranking. The exam is just a hurdle for you. There's no difference between first place and fourth place."

"As long as you can cross this threshold, whether you walk over it or jump over it, it makes no difference. Does jumping over the threshold mean it's better than walking over it? No, it's not like that."

"However, if you are afraid to say that you can get first place just because of other people's feelings, then you are too concerned about other people's feelings."

"In a family like ours, there's no need to care too much about the so-called atmosphere. Only those who follow the crowd care too much about the atmosphere."

“You are my daughter, and what you should do is lead others to follow your lead. You should be someone that others admire, fear, and are afraid of.”

"Instead of letting others think you're easy to talk to, or even that they can bully you."

Chapter 147 You actually think other people are more important than you?

July 15th is the day of the final exams.

The first semester runs from April to July, the second semester from September to December, and the third semester from January to March.

August is the summer vacation period.

Although it's exam day, everyone feels a mix of worry and excitement.

—Because as long as the final exams are over, even if we still need to attend classes for another week or two.

However, we will be in a semi-holiday state for the next two weeks.

Everyone will become lax.

The weather was cooler today than usual, which made the students happier, thankful for the good weather.

If it's as hot as usual, many people will probably be too exhausted to do their homework.

Since it's just a final exam, everyone takes the exam in their own class, which is very convenient.

There's no need to run around to other classes, saving the trouble of preparing classrooms.

When Chiho meets Natsugiri Kai, she will smile and say, "This time, I will definitely beat you, Natsugiri."

Aoi Asahi didn't say anything, but simply walked past the two of them and sat down in her seat to start reviewing while she still had some time.

The exam started during what was originally the first class period.

The morning exams were in math and Chinese, while the afternoon exams were in English and others.

You can finish all the exams in about a day.

However, it will make students too tired.

Especially when the math test papers were handed out, Xia Wuzhao felt that the sky had fallen for many students.

Within ten minutes of the start, gasps and sighs of helplessness could be heard.

Most of the sounds were of scribbling and drawing on draft paper.

He looked up at Asahi Aoi and Chiho; they were alright, though they were frowning and writing something.

Xia Wuzhao smiled slightly; he actually thought the questions were alright.

Although some parts were indeed difficult for high school students, he was quite experienced. After a few days of cramming, his current level had recovered to 80% of what it was like during the college entrance examination.

Even if some geometric shapes are truly incomprehensible, Xia Wuzhao chooses to forcibly establish a system.

It's barely possible to deduce the process from the answer.

He wrote with ease and skill. Yet, the pressure he exerted on others was astonishing.

What's most frustrating when you're struggling with a difficult problem is that everyone else seems completely unconcerned, as if they're not facing any difficulties at all, and it's as if you're the only one who can't answer it.

Suddenly, I felt like the sky had fallen.

Especially Chosoka, who looked at Natsume Kirihira with utter bewilderment.

Xia Wuzhao often daydreams during class, but after school she goes to clubs and dates with other girls.

I went to the private school every day, and I was so tired of reading that I felt like throwing up.

But why does Xia Wuzhao seem more at ease than I am? It's as if he doesn't care at all about the difficulty of these questions, as if they are elementary school questions in his eyes.

He felt that he was starting to doubt the reality of the world.

This was especially true for the Chinese language section, particularly for questions on classical poetry and prose. Xia Wuzhao wrote with even greater ease, almost able to guess the answer at a glance.

This made everyone else, who was tormented by classical Chinese texts and poems, feel like the sky had fallen once again.

They doubted that Xia Wuzhao's talent was really that good.

However, there were some problems with English in the afternoon due to issues with speaking and accent.

This is just a hearing problem; everything else is fine.

After a day of exams, everyone else seemed completely drained.

He looked listless and dispirited.

Changzong complained, "Xiawu, how did you feel about the exam?"

"I think it's fine, it's quite simple."

As Xia Wuzhao said this, Nagamune's eyes almost blazed with fire.

Many other students, tormented and dejected, were slumped over their desks, questioning their very existence. They looked utterly devastated after hearing Xia Wuzhao's words.

After the afternoon exams ended, it was already past four o'clock.

For many people, they can go straight home now.

Asahi Aoi and Chiho were chattering away, comparing their answers and predicting their scores.

But when Xia Wuzhao walked over, the two of them stopped what they were doing, not wanting Xia Wuzhao to see.

They argued confidently, "Anything is possible until the results are out. But once you see them, that possibility is lost."

Xia Wuzhao simply said, "Only those who do poorly on exams have any expectations of luck and metaphysics."

Neither Aoi Asahi nor Chiho paid any attention to Natsugiri Kai's words, only retorting, "Only you would say something like that."

Xia Wuzhao asked, "So, are you still going to stay here?"

Chiho thought for a moment and said, "There's no need for that anymore, because everything that should be right is already right."

Aoi Asahi reluctantly gave up on continuing the question-and-answer session.

She simply asked, "What should we do now? Are there any club activities?"

Chiho smiled. "Asahi, you're not a member of the Literature Club anymore."

Aoi was taken aback; that was indeed the case.

She didn't officially join it; she just went to the literature club often.

Aoi Asahi clicked her tongue in disbelief, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything about joining the Literature Club.

Because that would be far too obvious.

"If a girl suddenly expresses her affection for me so passionately, Xia Wuzhao will definitely be shocked, and might even think I'm strange."

Aoi hesitated for a moment, then said dryly, "Are there any activities in the Literature Club today?"

"There aren't any activities," Chiho said slowly. "It's just a matter of passing the time; you could say there's nothing to do."

"If you're just killing time with nothing to do, why are you kicking me out?"
