Xia Wuzhao easily killed the conversation, leaving Xiao Ai speechless.

He waited in the shadows in the distance, until he saw Chiho come out.

They followed her all the way, watching Chiho walk towards the train station.

When she saw her back on the tram, Xia Wuzhao emerged from the shadows and waited for the next tram.

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

The next day, Xia Wuzhao left home and took the tram to school.

The weather is a bit gloomy today, and the air seems a bit damp.

It felt like a downpour could happen at any moment.

Everyone was hoping for heavy rain when they went out this time.

This must be the most emotionally complex rain, bringing a welcome respite from the sweltering heat of the past few days.

However, once this rain stops, the weather will become even hotter.

Xia Wuzhao also held a transparent umbrella with twelve scratches on the handle.

These jagged cracks were gradually smoothed out through Xia Wuzhao's use.

While waiting on the rattling tram, he saw Chiharu Tokisaka.

Chiharu Tokisaka sat in the corner of the opposite bench. Although there were many people standing around her, no one was sitting in the seat next to her.

Everyone was sitting about half a meter apart, and the person who dared to sit there was a young man from the streets, not a wage slave.

The office workers in suits and ties kept their distance.

This was all because Chiharu Tokisaka was dozing off with her head down, nodding off repeatedly.

Her long, chestnut-gray hair cascaded down her back, and her pale golden eyes shimmered in the tram's interior lights.

Although Natsugiri Kai saw her, she ignored Tokisaka Chiharu.

I just pretended not to see it.

On the contrary, the tram suddenly slowed down when it went around the curve, causing most people to sway involuntarily.

Chiharu Tokisaka did the same; her body tilted, and with a thud, her head hit the guardrail next to the handrail.

She grimaced in pain, opening her sleepy eyes and blankly surveying her surroundings.

Chiharu Tokisaka spotted Natsugiri Kai instantly and smiled apologetically.

He rubbed his eyes again, stood up, bent over, and whispered, "I'm sorry."

In this way, they quickly arrived at Xia Wuzhao's side.

She smiled happily and said, "Good morning, junior."

Xia Wuzhao didn't seem to react much. He said, "Good morning, senior."

"Oh, you don't need to call me senpai." Tokisaka Chiharu said energetically, "Just call me Tokisaka, or you can call me Chiharu."

Although the girl said that, Natsugiri Kai still addressed Tokisaka Chiharu in a very rigid manner, saying, "Tokisaka-senpai."

"Oh dear," Chiharu Tokisaka said, feeling helpless.

I could only say, "Why are you going to school so late today? Aren't you going to try and run into Chisui?"

When Chiho's name was mentioned, she still had a teasing look on her face.

It's as if they're showing off that they already know who you sent flowers to.

“I’ve never done that before,” Xia Wuzhao said, which made Tokisaka Chiharu laugh.

"I understand."

She smiled radiantly, as if everything was self-evident.

Although Natsugiri Kai stopped speaking, Tokisaka Chiharu continued talking to herself.

“I finished my shift at the convenience store yesterday, and it was already past midnight. That’s why I kept dozing off on the train.”

She explained why she had turned into that state.

He even looked serious.

Chiharu Tokisaka chattered away the whole way until they got off the train.

Xia Wuzhao then said, "Let's send another bouquet of flowers today."

Chiharu Tokisaka stared wide-eyed in surprise, then smiled and said, "It seems you really like Chiho."

Xia Wuzhao did not answer, but simply handed Tokisaka Chiharu a coin.

“However, this will mean you’ll lose a flower and a mark,” Chiharu Tokisaka said earnestly.

Xia Wuzhao didn't think it was that important; she just gave a perfunctory answer because she saw how serious Tokisaka Chiharu was.

Chiharu Tokisaka politely asked Natsugiri for the mark card again: "I'll go to the flower shop around noon. That way, I can get you a mark too, so you won't lose out."

This time, Xia Wuzhao did not refuse.

After doing all that, Chiharu Tokisaka ran energetically down the slope towards school.

He stood out among the group of students who were walking slowly.

But it's also excessively energetic.

Xia Wuzhao walked to the school gate and happened to encounter an unlicensed taxi.

Yoshiko got off the car with Chiho, and Yoshiko also saw Natsugiri Kai.

She held Chiho's hand and looked at Natsumi with a smug expression.

It was as if to say—see, Chiho will always be my daughter.

However, Xia Wuzhao only glanced at Qianhui.

Chiho's body trembled slightly, her originally gentle, angelic smile vanished.

She finally couldn't hold back any longer and almost burst into tears.

But she forced herself to suppress her tears.

Yoshiko noticed this and shouted angrily, "Chiho, what are you doing!"

Chiho reluctantly replied, "I just have to go to school, Mom."

Before Yoshiko could retort, Chiho broke free from her and walked in front of Natsumi.

Chiho tried her best to maintain a smile, but she couldn't.

"When I held my mother's hand, I thought there was nothing more painful in the world."

"But, the moment Xia Wuzhao turned and left..."

"But I discovered that this pain was much deeper than any other pain."

Chapter 155 The fluttering flag was like long hair being blown by the wind.

When she finally stood before Xia Wuzhao, Chiho suddenly didn't know what to say.

"I was so anxious and sad just now. I just wanted to get here as soon as possible and be in front of Xia Wu."

"I was actually afraid of being misunderstood by Xia Wu."

"He's so important to me. More important than I ever thought!"

"But my relationship with him is over."

"What exactly are my reasons for doing this?"

She was conflicted, but looking at Xia Wuzhao...

The girl no longer hesitated.

"At most, I'll just be treated with indifference."

She spoke gently, as if she were a stranger: "Good morning, Xia Wu."

Good morning, Chiho.

Xia Wuzhao was no different from before, as if what happened last night was just an illusion, as if it never existed.

Just like before, they seemed to still be lovers.

"Chiho, he still calls me Chiho."

The girl couldn't help but think about it, her heart feeling as sweet as if it were soaked in honey.

She finally smiled brightly and said once again, "Good morning, Xiawu."

The tense atmosphere seemed to vanish without a trace in an instant.

"This is like a dream, it's unbelievable."

"But now it's true."

Chiho thought to herself, "The weather is really nice today."

Xia Wuzhao said, "It's just a cloudy day."

"But it's so cool and comforting," Chiho said coquettishly. "If it were yesterday, I would have fainted from the heat just standing here."

The two were talking, perhaps because yesterday had been too painful for Chiho.

She was really excited and couldn't wait today.

Xia Wuzhao said, "The scorching heat of yesterday may return in the future. But the coolness of today will never come again."

"Eh?"

Chiho was somewhat surprised. She looked at Natsumi and seemed to understand something.

"This is probably my final warning."

"If I hadn't come over this morning, our relationship would have been completely over."

"If I make the wrong choice again later."

"Then there's no future."

Chiho understood this, and she smiled and said, "But isn't it enough to just be happy in the present?"

Xia Wuzhao neither confirmed nor denied this.

But Yoshiko was furious.

"I almost risked angering Toshio yesterday to bring Chiho back into my hands."

"But now, after only meeting Xia Wuzhao once, all my efforts have been in vain?"

"How could this be! Absolutely impossible!"

She desperately wanted to grab Chisui.

The sound of her high heels clicking on the floor echoed as she shouted, "Chiho!"

Chiho turned her head and glanced at it; her heart started pounding.

She suddenly felt a sense of panic.

"My mother is coming again, and she's going to grab me again."

The girl's heart started racing.

But looking at Xia Wuzhao, she finally made a decision.

The girl smiled, her crimson eyes looking at Xia Wuzhao.

How's your running?

"good."

"I'm really good at running." Chiho combed her hair, grabbed Natsumi's hand, and immediately ran towards the school.

She was incredibly fast, almost as if she were risking her life, and she nearly broke Xia Wuzhao's hand.

Yoshiko chased after her, shouting, "Chiho! Stop!"

But how could Chiho possibly stop? She took off running, sprinting swiftly and fiercely.
