I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

The wind blew her long hair like a flag fluttering in the wind, and the cool breeze brushed against her cheeks.

It made her laugh uncontrollably.

The students who entered the school all stared at Chiho in astonishment.

"That one? Is that Kirishima, the squad leader?"

"She's acting so strange today!"

"But she seemed to be having a great time."

"It seems like we've never seen Kirishima Sergeant like this before."

The students were discussing it amongst themselves, not understanding why Chiho had become like this.

But Chiho ran extremely fast, and with the wind by her side, she ran with great enthusiasm.

She tilted her chin up and looked at the sky.

Humans, trees, buildings, birds, and cicadas were all forgotten by her.

She would only glance back at Xia Wuzhao from time to time.

Wearing high heels, Yoshiko couldn't catch up with Chiho and Natsugiri Kai. She was panting and looked extremely disheveled.

She leaned against a tree, cursing under her breath, "Damn it."

Back then, she even participated in running competitions.

But ever since she married into the Kirishima family, she has never run again.

Because that would be too embarrassing; sweating like a lower-class person.

After marrying into the Kirishima family, she came into contact with a completely different society.

That glittering, enviable life dazzled her.

She made up her mind and did countless things before she finally got in.

Just like today, she wears enviable clothes and lives a life that others can't even imagine.

But running like this reminded her of the embarrassing things that happened when she was young.

"How disgusting. I wish I could forget all of this."

Yoshiko thought to herself.

Every time she thinks about the past, she feels incredibly ashamed.

"How can I, who am now like a swan, have a past like an ugly duckling?!"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Looking up again, she found that Chiho and Natsugiri Kai were no longer visible.

"Where can you go from this school?!"

She continued cursing angrily as she slowly walked towards the classroom.

Chiho dragged Natsumi Kai quickly to the shoe cabinet and stuffed the shoes inside, without even having time to change into her indoor shoes.

He simply held it in his hand and quickly ran upstairs.

However, instead of going to the classroom, he planned to find a place to hide.

"Hey, don't run in the hallway!"

Jun Yokokawa called out to Chiho and Kai Natsugiri.

Chiho smiled at Yokokawa Junichi and said, "Jun-sensei, we took the day off this morning."

Before Yokokawa Jun could react, the two arrived at the club building.

However, he did not go to the department office.

Instead, they went directly to the rooftop via the stairwell. All they had to do was lock the iron lock on the stairwell to make it look like no one had ever been there.

The side of the stairwell, out of sight of the iron gate.

The two finally stopped, and Chiho, panting, sat on the waterproofed rooftop.

She felt a sense of relief.

"We're finally safe." Chiho said with a smile.

Xia Wuzhao, sitting beside her, said, "That's right, we're finally safe."

The girl clearly wanted to say something, but she just leaned against the wall, panting and unable to speak.

Xia Wuzhao was alright and quickly calmed down.

However, Xiao Ai couldn't understand his actions.

"Lord Xiawu, you clearly said such heartless things yesterday. Yet now you're acting so nonchalant." Xiao Ai said in confusion, "I really don't know what you're thinking now."

Xia Wuzhao said, "Because yesterday was the consequence of Chiho's wrong choice, and I was just showing Chiho the consequences."

"She always felt a sense of relief, always thinking that I might not have known. But now, after yesterday, she probably doesn't feel that relief anymore."

"Will this really work?" Xiao Ai hesitated. "When Qian Sui saw her mother coming, she didn't resist; she just ran away."

“You think there are three choices: obedience, resistance, and escape, but in reality there are only two,” Xia Wuzhao said. “Escape and resistance are both forms of disobedience to Jiazi.”

“Even if she keeps running away, it’s still progress compared to before. As long as she keeps running away, she will eventually reach a point where she has nowhere to hide and nowhere to go, and in the end, she will have no choice but to fight back.”

"How can we ensure that she will eventually resist instead of submitting?" Xiao Ai asked, puzzled.

"Because before, Chiho was in a swamp, but now she's on a cliff. As long as she keeps moving forward, she won't fall off."

"She would never want to go through what happened yesterday again."

"I see, I understand now." Xiao Ai suddenly realized, "So, do we want to restore the relationship to exactly the same as before?"

Xia Wuzhao said, "Of course not."

Chiho finally caught her breath and turned to look at Natsugiri Kai, saying, "We've both sweated a lot, but it's good to have the wind blowing."

Xia Wuzhao neither confirmed nor denied this, but nodded slightly.

The girl smiled sweetly, feeling incredibly happy just from the breeze.

"If I ever find myself in a situation where I can't refuse my mother, I can just avoid her."

Chiho thought to herself that she had found a good solution.

"Yesterday, I was so scared!" Chiho said coquettishly. "I really thought we were going to end things."

She smoothed her hair, then leaned against Xia Wuzhao.

She placed her hand on Xia Wuzhao's shoulder, looked up at her with her crimson eyes, and said, "Shall we continue?"

But Xia Wuzhao shook his head decisively and said, "We're not lovers anymore, so let's not do this kind of thing."

"Huh?" Chiho looked at Natsugiri Kai with a puzzled expression, feeling somewhat wronged.

“We’re just ordinary friends with an agreement right now, so it’s not appropriate for us to do something like this.” Xia Wuzhao refused Chiho’s request.

This made Chiho a little sad, but she smiled slyly: "So, can we still be lovers in the future?"

“This is not my problem, it is your problem,” Xia Wuzhao replied.

"Then I'm going to be your lover now." Chiho chuckled, her scarlet eyes blinking.

Xia Wuzhao said, "No."

"So what do I have to do for you to become my lover?" Chiho asked.

Xia Wuzhao said, "Who knows?"

Although Natsugiri Kai couldn't give a suitable answer, Chiho wasn't sad.

She said with a helpless yet amused tone, "Looks like I'll have to pursue you again. But our promise isn't over yet; I'll make you happy and become your lover!"

"I think this is a good idea, that we can start as friends again and eventually become lovers."

"This time, the relationship will be pure and unadulterated."

"Because I like it so much."

Chapter 156 The one who was abandoned was myself.

Natsugiri Kai did not react to Chiho's words.

I was just sitting, resting, and recovering my strength.

Yoshiko was still searching for Chiho in the school building, deliberately calling out Chiho's name loudly.

Even Natsugiri Kai and Chiho could hear her coming into the clubroom.

They kept knocking on the door, making a deafening bang.

She shouted, "Chiho! Chiho! Come out quickly! I know you're in there!"

Yoshiko screamed, forcing the teachers to come out and stop her.

She was not surprised by the teacher's intervention.

There was even a sense of relief that they had succeeded!

But in reality, Yoshiko cried out, "I can't find my daughter! What if something happens to my daughter?"

She shouted, explaining why she couldn't stop it.

The teachers had no way to refute it; who could stop a mother from searching for her daughter?

The teachers had no choice but to get the key, open the door to the Literature Department, and leave Yoshiko to watch over the inside.

Yoshiko went inside, furious.

He angrily pushed everything inside to the ground, making a mess of the Literature Club.

The surrounding teachers were stunned, but when these teachers felt dissatisfied and wanted to get angry...

Yoshiko sat down on the ground and burst into tears.

"My daughter! My daughter is missing!"

She looked as sorrowful as a pitiful mother who had lost her child.

She acted as if she were a victim, as if she were an innocent person.

This prevented other teachers from getting angry, and they even had to comfort her.

These tears easily shattered all the anger and the consequences of breaking the rules.

She actually manipulated these teachers with these worthless, cheap tears.

This prompted all the teachers to start searching for Kirishima Chiho for her.

There was even a teacher who came up to the rooftop and fiddled with the lock on the door with a puzzled look.

"I remember it was open."

Another teacher said, "Alright, alright, you really want to find her one? Chiho is such a good child, she must have a reason for doing this. Besides, Natsumi is the top student in the whole grade, what can two good children do?"

"Let's just wander around and then do whatever we need to do."

The teacher urged him to leave quickly.

Chiho and Natsugiri Kai both kept their mouths shut, even holding their breath.

The two looked at each other, and only breathed a sigh of relief after the teacher's footsteps sounded as he left.

The girl couldn't help but laugh out loud, and whispered, "I thought you wouldn't care at all."

"Don't you care a lot?" Xia Wuzhao asked back.

Chiho glanced at Natsugiri and said, "I thought you didn't care what I valued."

Xia Wuzhao said, "I don't really care, but I won't deliberately do anything to ruin anything."

"That's really good, Natsugiri." Chiho smiled slightly, as if she was deliberately being sarcastic.

This made Xia Wuzhao glance at her, and then she said nothing more.

Leaning against the wall once more, the girl looked up at the sky.

She said softly, "What should we do next?"
