I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

Xia Wuzhao lowered his gaze and said, "I also have nothing to do, and even if I go back to the seaside town, I have nowhere to stay."

"If nothing else goes wrong, I'll be here for the entire summer."

Aoi's heart was pounding.

"Chiho didn't invite Natsugiri? She seized a good opportunity."

Asahi pinched her hair, her heart pounding.

With difficulty, he asked, "So, are you going back to the seaside town this summer vacation?"

Are you inviting me?

Xia Wuzhao looked at Asahi Aoi and asked softly.

"Ah."

Asahi said earnestly, "As a library employee, I receive a summer vacation allowance and a heat allowance during holidays. If you come back with me, I can reimburse you for some of your expenses."

"it is good."

Xia Wuzhao replied nonchalantly, "Then let's go back."

He agreed far too easily, which aroused Aoi's suspicion.

"So you've already agreed?"

"Otherwise what?" Natsugiri Kai asked, looking at Asahi Aoi. "Didn't you invite me?"

“Even if I were to invite you, you shouldn’t have agreed so easily,” Aoi Asahi said. “At least, you wouldn’t usually agree so easily.”

Asahi looked at Natsugiri Kai, scrutinizing her closely, trying to find something strange about her.

However, they still couldn't find anything strange.

Xia Wuzhao didn't look at Asahi Aoi. He said, "So, are you expecting me to say yes or no?"

"Of course I was hoping Xia Wu would agree, but this time Xia Wu agreed too easily. Our relationship is at most that of acquaintances. We can't be called friends, at least not until his memories are restored."

"Xia Wu would never casually accept someone's travel invitation. It's like he's isolated from everyone else and can't integrate into this world."

"Why did he accept my invitation so easily?"

"How could he, who has lost his memory, so easily accept an invitation from someone he knows but is only from the same hometown?"

Aoi felt as if she had found a clue amidst all the chaos.

"Could it be that his memories have returned?"

"But if that's the case, why is he showing no signs of recognizing me?"

She felt confused and bewildered.

Aoi Asahi couldn't understand what was going on.

"I confessed my feelings right there at the beach. If my memories return, he should immediately acknowledge me as his friend."

Aoi Asahi was troubled, her lips moved but she couldn't utter a word.

"So, what's your answer?" Xia Wuzhao's gaze shifted to Asahi Aoi.

Asahi was about to agree, but then she remembered that Natsugiri Kai's gaze had been a little strange earlier.

That's why she looked in the same direction as Xia Wuzhao.

—It turned out that Chiho was standing at the door.

Chiho's crimson eyes were extremely moist, and the corners of her eyes were also red.

She was just standing at the door, and she looked so pitiful.

They must be furious about who made such a lovely and beautiful girl suffer so much.

However, Aoi Asahi was unable to speak.

"Ah, I see. So that's all there is to it."

She mocked herself inwardly, saying to herself.

"What am I thinking all day long? I'm always so self-righteous."

"Aoi Asahi, you're so arrogant. You actually think you're a lucky kid, that you were able to get Natsugiri and you back together so quickly."

"Oh, you're so silly, so naive."

Aoi pursed her lips, and a wronged expression gradually appeared on her face.

But such an expression only lasted for a moment.

Then she became strong.

"So that's all you are, just someone to make Chiho feel threatened and jealous."

Asahi Aoi smiled at Natsugiri Kai and said, "Let's forget it. I suddenly don't want to go back to the seaside town. I think I should find a place where it's convenient to work. After all, I can't waste this time."

As she said this, she glanced at Xia Wuzhao's expression.

His lips moved, clearly indicating that he wanted to say something.

But in the end, he didn't say anything.

"My love may be humble, but it is also my treasure."

"I'm not so stubborn as to refuse to let go even when I'm injured."

"I am not powerful enough to remain indifferent even when used as a tool."

"Because this is my pride."

"Wasn't my dignity something you, Xia Wu, gave me?"

"It hurts, it hurts so much, it's just too painful."

"I actually wanted to escape, to leave."

"I want to wait until your memory returns before I come to find you."

"I will wait for you forever, and I will look forward to you forever."

"Even on the day my body dies, I will wait."

"But I'm not sure if I can really hold on like this."

"Because I love you so much, I can't control myself."

"I want to walk with you on the beach, I want to talk with you in the summer sun about the taste of soda, whether we should drink the sour one or the sweet one."

"I want to rest with you under the shade of a tree, holding ice cream and feeling the breeze."

"There's no need to do anything, just sitting together is enough."

Aoi looked up and glanced out the window.

Then, smiling, she said, "Summer has arrived, but this summer isn't my summer."

"All that belongs to me is the gap between the chilly late spring and early summer."

Chapter 166 Tempted by the Sour Fruit

Standing at the classroom door, Chiho watched the two people chatting happily.

My head was buzzing, and I could barely hear anything else.

He felt dizzy and staggered, holding onto the threshold.

She almost collapsed.

"Why is my heart in so much pain?"

"It is more profound and deeper than any pain I have ever experienced in my life."

"Is it because I've realized that I'm finally going to lose Xia Wu completely?"

Chiho pursed her lips.

"This time, there may be no chance for us to reconcile. Because this is my last chance."

"And I failed again."

Looking at Xia Wuzhao and Asahi Aoi, I felt extremely bitter and could only stumble and fall back to my seat in a disheveled state.

"Did you and Xia Wuzhao have a fight?"

Aoi Asahi sat in her seat and said these words to Chiho next to her.

She seemed somewhat tentative, and also somewhat indifferent.

Chiho felt a little sad.

"Can't you tell what I'm like?"

"However, instead of arguing, we became like complete strangers."

The girl lowered her eyelids and softly responded, her lips moving as she said, "Mmm."

"I knew it."

Asahi Aoi ran her fingers through her long hair and said in a tone that seemed to be showing off, "During summer vacation, I made a promise with Natsugiri Kai to go back to the seaside town together."

"Oh, is that so? Then congratulations."

Chiho pursed her lips, managing to utter such understated words.

They seemed to be trying to pretend they didn't care, to act as if nothing had happened.

She seems to want to maintain her image and preserve her reputation as a good girl like Chiho.

However, the more she pretended to be nonchalant, the more people could sense her sadness.

But Aoi Asahi deliberately added fuel to the fire, saying, "This seaside town is our hometown. Although it doesn't have any famous tourist attractions, it has a very special shrine. And, when we go back this time, we might be able to see the fireworks festival."

"After all, during the summer vacation, many couples and tourists come to our area. So, it should be considered a good tourist destination."

"Although I may not be able to find it, don't people usually feel that their familiar hometown is nothing special? But we have been away from home for a month now, and when we go back this time, we will probably find our hometown to be very new."

As she spoke, she made a point of mentioning the couples and the fireworks display, practically showing off.

Chiho's expression grew increasingly stiff, and she became more and more distressed.

In the summer, especially during holidays, fireworks displays are held almost everywhere, which is a good way for adults to generate income.

But for the girl, the fireworks display was utterly tiresome.

"It's as if you're saying that if I don't take action soon, you'll become a couple with Xia Wuzhao."

"You're really kind, Asahi."

"Clearly, I didn't need to be reminded at all."

"Clearly, there's nothing I can do anymore."

Chiho thought to herself, then forced a smile and said, "That really is a summer worth celebrating, Asahi."

"Yes, it really is a summer worth celebrating."

Aoi repeated, "If nothing unexpected happens, we'll become lovers by the end of summer vacation."

She looked at Chiho, only to see that Chiho's expression was extremely unpleasant.

It looked like she was crying, but it also looked like she was laughing.

Chiho wanted to answer Aoi Asahi in a nonchalant tone, trying to appear indifferent.

"But I couldn't laugh. I just felt exhausted and in pain all over. It was as if I was crying from the very marrow of my bones."

"But I couldn't cry out in sadness, because that kind of Chiho wasn't the image of a good child, that wasn't Chiho as a good child."

"But I'm in so much pain."

"I like him so much, I can't live without him."

My heart was pounding in spasms.

Looking at Chiho, Asahi Aoi started talking about what she wanted to do during summer vacation.

It was described so beautifully, and it made people yearn for it so much.

"Stop talking."
