"But amidst my disappointment, I felt a strange sense of relief."

"Even Xia Wu herself doesn't know what kind of girl she likes, so how can you prove I'm wrong?"

"And how can I prove that what I did was wrong?"

"I did the right thing."

The girl secretly chuckled to herself, but put on a sad face.

"Xia Wu, you're lying to me again."

“I’m telling the truth.”

"I don't believe you." Chiho looked at Natsumi slyly: "Unless you can guarantee that you will tell me the truth."

“I will tell the truth in one of my conversations,” Xia Wuzhao replied.

Chiho's eyes widened.

"How can this be? Doesn't this just prove that you've told me many lies before?"

"But it's okay, I'll forgive you."

But she emphasized, "Every single time! Not just once."

But Xia Wuzhao said, "Is that so? But the agreement has already been made, so it cannot be changed."

The girl walked up to Xia Wuzhao with dissatisfaction and punched her shoulder with her small fist: "Xia Wuzhao, you're so annoying."

"It's like they're deliberately trying to make me angry."

Chapter 192 Anxiety Burns the Mind Like a Flame

Natsugiri Kai did not answer Chiho's question, because there was no need.

They simply waited for the clothes to dry before letting the two girls put them on and preparing to leave.

Aoi's jeans were fine, but Chiho's skirt was still a bit cold and damp.

Chiho could only wear Natsugiri Kai's outer garment, and then put on a skirt.

However, it appeared unusually bulky.

But it's better than nothing.

They extinguished the campfire with river water and carefully stepped over it to prevent it from reigniting.

When the three of them arrived outside the forest, they found that the bicycle was indeed still parked obediently in the same spot.

There wasn't a single person in sight.

It seems that this town is really in a state of severe decline.

Activities like mountain climbing are only popular among young people. For older people, even climbing up is a huge challenge, not to mention the potential dangers of falling or other accidents.

If I were to actually encounter that, I might really die.

On my way back by bike, I saw cars parked on the side of the road.

Suddenly, she thought of something and asked Chiho, "Chiho, your family must have a car, right? We could actually call your grandma and ask her to bring a car."

Chiho was enjoying herself with Natsume in her arms when she suddenly heard Asahi ask this question.

She felt a pang of panic, but said nonchalantly, "Grandma was using the car today. It seems she was directing the maid to go to a faraway place to buy something."

"is it?"

Asahi Aoi only asked a question with a puzzled expression, and then stopped paying attention.

On the way back, the three of them chatted casually about trivial topics, at least that's what Xia Wuzhao thought.

However, Chiho doesn't think so.

As the saying goes, dating is all about taking the initiative, and then taking the initiative again.

So she kept trying to increase her affection and advance the relationship.

But Chiho doesn't understand love at all, and she has no idea how to do it.

She was exposed to stereotypical knowledge from television and books, and was also influenced by Yoshiko Kirishima.

They actually believe that liking someone means giving everything to that person.

She believed that as long as she did this, they could become lovers.

She had always done this; she wanted to give her soul, her body, and everything about herself to Xia Wuzhao.

However, Xia Wuzhao has always been ambiguous about this, and even has a hint of rejection.

This made Chiho extremely anxious, like a kite that had lost its tether, swaying and drifting aimlessly in the wind.

The unease in her heart made her panic; she seemed completely unable to adapt to this life where she was not under anyone's control.

That's why she always craved Xia Wu to dominate and control her.

Whatever happens, happens.

Chiho is very confident in her body; she is well aware of the fact that she is a beautiful girl.

"My family is quite wealthy, so I shouldn't be a girl that people dislike."

"But why is Xia Wu so cold to me?"

She felt uneasy, and watching Xia Wuzhao's retreating figure only made her more anxious.

But no matter how anxious she was, it was all in vain, and Chiho could only comfort herself.

—After all, this is something she excels at.

"Summer vacation has only just begun, I still have opportunities and time."

Thinking this way, Chiho's anxiety finally eased a little.

When I got home, a car was parked right next to me.

It looks like it belongs to Chiho's family.

Asahi Aoi also looked at Chiho, who said awkwardly, "It must be a car that just came back. Only a car that just came back would be parked at the door."

Aoi Asahi simply smiled at this.

They didn't pursue the matter of the car too much; they simply went into the yard.

Natsugiri Kai was fine, but Chiho and Asahi Aoi both wanted to take a bath and change into new clothes.

But Chiho's grandmother stopped her.

"Go take a bath after you've practiced your naginata, Chiho."

After her grandmother said that, Chiho had no choice but to change her underwear and clothes and then begin practicing her naginata.

Right in the very center of the main house, this place is extremely spacious.

In ancient times, this would probably be a place for holding family meetings.

At first, she and Chiho sparred a few times, but Chiho was getting old, and she was already out of breath just from making those moves.

After that, Chiho was left to practice the moves and actions on her own, while her grandmother just watched from the side.

And so it wasn't until evening that Chiho was finally allowed to stop, take a shower, and then have dinner.

When it was time to go to sleep, Chiho's whole body ached.

The paper sliding door next to it was already open, and you could clearly see the woods and courtyard outside.

The soft moonlight fell on Chiho, and she blinked as she looked at Aoi Asahi.

Aoi was quite tired from playing and riding her bicycle all day. She fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

I could clearly hear her breathing.

"This is a great opportunity."

With these thoughts in mind, Chiho forced herself to endure her exhaustion and quietly crawled out of bed.

After walking around the eaves for a long time, she quietly stood up and came to Xia Wuzhao's room.

The moonlight outside was slightly cool, and Chiho tiptoed and tugged at the door.

Carefully prepare to open the door.

But once you exert force...

"Hmm?" The girl looked at him hesitantly.

Why wasn't it opened? Who would close the door while sleeping in the summer?

But Xia Wuzhao just happened to block the paper sliding door.

Chiho had no choice but to cautiously knock on the paper sliding door and call out, "Natsugiri! Natsugiri!"

She called out urgently, but there was no response.

"Is Natsume already asleep?"

Chiho could only think in this direction.

But she still didn't want to give up, so she knocked again and called out softly.

But in the end, there was still no response.

The girl could only sigh and cautiously return to her room, crawling into bed.

Because she crawled out, her palms were red and her knees were also a little sore.

Now, my whole body aches.

She turned around and found a slightly more comfortable position.

But as soon as he turned around, Asahi Aoi was staring at him with wide eyes.

Chiho was startled, and her whole body stiffened.

It took her a while to realize what was happening, and she couldn't help but complain, "Asahi, you startled me!"

Aoi asked, "What were you doing just now?"

“Where would I be?” Chiho immediately denied, saying, “I just went to the restroom.”

"But why did you crawl back like that?"

"Because I was afraid of waking you up, after all, I'm really tired today." Chiho made up an excuse, while Asahi Aoi was probably too sleepy to notice anything wrong.

Or rather, she didn't want to pursue the matter further.

So he just gave a perfunctory reply and then closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Chiho was finally relieved, but she still harbored resentment.

"I took the initiative in the night raid, I was so proactive, so how did I fail?"

"Let's talk to Xia Wu about it in advance tomorrow."

"Natsugiri would definitely not refuse."

"absolute!"

Chapter 193 Repeated Failed Night Raids

The next day, she did indeed tell Xia Wuzhao about what happened that night.

However, he spoke mysteriously: "Good things will happen if you open the door at night."

Xia Wuzhao looked at her, somewhat speechless.

Last night, Xia Wuzhao was able to secure the paper sliding door in advance only after Xiao Ai reminded her.

This time, Chiho was not given a chance to take advantage.

"Is this a traditional custom of this small town?"

He asked the question deliberately, avoiding the real answer Chiho wanted.

Chiho was taken aback, but still went along with it, saying, "That's right, the moon brings good luck at night."

"Oh, is that so?" Xia Wuzhao said, looking at Chiho. "Then, I'll experiment with it tonight."

Chiho immediately smiled: "There definitely will be one."
