I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

But he immediately started studying again.

Chiho looked at Aoi Asahi and asked, "Do we still need to study? The exams are over."

Aoi pursed her lips, not looking at Chiho.

He said in a rather calm tone, "The exam is over, but the competition isn't over yet."

"Is that how you see it?" Chiho rested her chin on her hand and said to Asahi Aoi, "So, can you tell me why your attitude towards Natsugiri Kai suddenly changed?"

"Is it because of our close relationship in the Literature Club?"

Chiho was still puzzled by this; she didn't understand what had happened.

But Aoi didn't want to talk about these things. She said to Chiho, "So what about you? In the beginning, did you really like Natsugiri? No, you didn't."

"But now, it seems like you really do like Xia Wu."

"They really do seem like lovers."

"Chiho, you've been pretending for so long that you've actually started to believe it yourself."

"Or are you afraid because of my change?"

"You fell in love with Xia Wu because you were afraid of losing him?"

She spoke quickly and rapidly, causing the smile on Chiho's face to gradually disappear.

Chiho said softly, "As long as you like it, isn't that enough? What does it matter if you like it or not? As long as you like it, that's enough. No matter the reason, liking it is liking it."

"As for fear or anything like that, I'm not afraid."

She looked up again and smiled gently at Aoi.

That angelic smile can captivate almost anyone.

But Aoi Asahi remained unmoved. She said, "Chiho, I won't tell you those things. Just like you won't tell me why you like Natsugiri."

"So, it's best not to ask this kind of question."

She spoke crisply and decisively.

Before Chiho could say anything more, the teacher walked in.

"Alright, alright, shut up, let's start class."

The first thing to do after the exam is, of course, to distribute the exam papers.

When distributing the test papers, they are distributed in reverse order of scores.

Finally, Xia Wuzhao received the exam paper.

The teacher held the test paper, ready to begin explaining the questions.

"Your grades are not as good as before. I seriously doubt whether you put your heart into the exam or whether you answered the questions carefully."

The teacher sighed, "Only Natsugiri, Asahi, and Kirishima performed to their normal level. You should all learn from these students, do you understand?"

The other students all indicated that they understood.

But I also had some complaints in my heart, and it wasn't entirely their fault.

It was simply because I was really scared by Xia Wuzhao during the exam.

This anxiety led to poor performance.

But the teacher had already started explaining the questions, so they had no choice but to listen attentively.

The same routine went on all morning.

—Distribute the test papers and then explain the mistakes.

The students finally breathed a sigh of relief around noon.

"I wish there were never any exams."

A girl complained.

“If there are no exams, then there are no holidays,” another girl said. “There are only holidays after exams.”

This made everyone else laugh.

Aoi left the classroom and took her books to the library.

She plans to review all the questions she got wrong, find out why she made mistakes, and then practice those questions in a targeted way.

Chiho and Natsugiri Kai went to the Literature Club.

As soon as she entered the Literature Club, Chiho couldn't wait to draw the curtains and close the door.

Even so, it was impossible to make the room dark.

Light still filtered through the curtains into the room, like tiny specks of starlight.

The starlight seemed so dazzling that it bathed the entire room in an orange hue.

Do you feel hot?

Chiho asked that.

"perhaps?"

Xia Wuzhao briefly checked the temperature.

It's still very hot today, but better than yesterday. At least, the indoor area is comfortable to stay in.

Instead of feeling completely unable to stay like yesterday.

Chiho smiled slyly and said, "I'm very hot, Natsugiri."

She ripped off her bow tie and threw it on the table.

Chapter 149 Meeting Again, Yet Feeling Like Never Seeing Each Other Again

She was unusually enthusiastic today, almost to an abnormal degree.

He used his teeth to bite open Xia Wuzhao's shoulder again, sucking the blood that flowed out.

It's as if she harbors a suppressed demon deep within her, which can only be unleashed without restraint at moments like these.

Xia Wuzhao simply hugged Chiho's shoulders tightly.

Chiho only reluctantly gave up after the school bell rang.

She dressed again, covering the red marks on her body.

After getting dressed and sitting in a chair, Chiho seemed a little tired, her face looking somewhat listless, but her eyes were bright and alert.

Her temples were covered in fine beads of sweat, and her cheeks were flushed.

that's it.

She rested for a while and regained some strength before going out to wash up.

Xia Wuzhao leaned against the bookshelf to rest, feeling that it was just an ordinary yet unusual noon.

However, he also had some doubts about himself.

"I seem to be less and less resistant to Chiho's requests."

Xia Wuzhao discovered this and felt that perhaps he really was as Chiho had said before.

—I might really lose to her in the match.

So he asked Xiao Ai.

Faced with Xia Wuzhao's question, Xiao Ai said somewhat awkwardly, "Lord Xia Wuzhao, I haven't noticed any difference between you and before. In my opinion, you haven't changed at all."

"Even if we did something today, didn't we still not take the final step?"

"This time, Chiho has failed once again."

"Really?" Xia Wuzhao felt a little relieved.

"But is this really a failure? Perhaps, this failure was also part of her plan."

Natsugiri Kai speculated about Chiho's actions in this way.

However, when Chiho returned, the girl had her usual gentle smile on her face.

She said, "I really don't want to go to class, Natsugiri."

"The weather is so nice today, it's a great opportunity to skip class."

As she said this, she pointed to the door.

The smile on her face turned into a cacophony of encouragement and slyness. She said, "How about we skip class? I can't wait, Xia Wu."

Today is indeed a beautiful day; the sun is so bright it's almost dazzling.

However, the temperature wasn't very high.

A cool breeze would occasionally blow by, causing Chisui's scarlet hair to flutter.

"Today's weather is perfect for an outing."

Natsugiri Kai thought to herself, but then asked Chiho, "What are you afraid of?"

"Ok?"

Chiho was taken aback, not understanding what Natsumi meant by that.

“You wouldn’t normally say something like skipping class,” Xia Wuzhao said more bluntly. “You seem to be afraid of something, afraid of the end of school today. That’s why you’re so enthusiastic today.”

"That's why you said skipping class is like skipping the last two classes, so that today's time will never end."

"It's like burning your own body to the point of scorching in order to resist the unbearable cold."

What exactly are you afraid of?

Hearing Xia Wuzhao's words, Chiho couldn't help but smile.

That smile went from heaven to hell, from an angel to the cunning of a little devil.

"I'm just afraid that today will end."

Chiho said, "Because today is such a beautiful day, I'm afraid that today will end too soon, and that this wonderful day will be too short."

"That's what I'm afraid of."

The girl's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible to others.

Yet it was exceptionally clear, allowing Xia Wuzhao to easily understand what she was saying.

"You're lying again, Chiho."

Xia Wuzhao made this assessment.

But Chiho smiled and said, "Natsugiri, aren't you lying too? You know perfectly well what I'm worried about, but you deliberately ask me this."

Xia Wuzhao looked at Chiho and said, "Then let's go to class."

Chiho nodded, seemingly unbothered by Natsumi Kai's abrupt change of topic.

"Perhaps, neither of us has ever truly opened our hearts to the other."

"Perhaps he doesn't even know that I love him wholeheartedly right now."

"But what if you don't open your heart?"

"So, could that be considered liking, or even love?"

She suddenly felt a bitter taste in her mouth, as if she had eaten some kind of poisonous fruit.

The fruit churned in my stomach, burning everything like a branding iron.

"Perhaps I should tell everything. But what will happen after I do?"

"Xia Wu definitely knows what to do, but will I really do as he says?"

Chiho asked herself this question countless times, but each time the same answer came from the depths of her heart.

"Won't."

"That's right, even if Xia Wu told me what I should do, I still wouldn't do it."

She looked at Xia Wuzhao's figure beside her and felt a little regretful.

"Perhaps, after today, my relationship with him will regress to what it was before."
