I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

After saying that, she turned around and prepared to go back to her room.

Chiho was walking nearby: "Are you angry? Aoi?"

"I'm not angry," Aoi said helplessly. "I just feel a little tired."

"Hmph, that's something girls often say when they're angry," Chiho said, shaking her finger. "But being so hypocritical will never make you popular with boys."

"The 'tsundere' trait, which is considered cute, has long been outdated."

"If you want to become lovers with Xia Wuzhao, you'd better be more direct."

She looked at Aoi Asahi and smiled mischievously: "For example, a shorter skirt and more revealing clothes. No boy could resist that."

Asahi Aoi was finding it difficult to cope; she even felt that Chiho from before was easier to deal with.

Just as she was about to say something, Chiho waved her hand with a light laugh, saying, "It was just a joke, just a joke. Aoi, you don't need to take it to heart."

This left Asahi Aoi with nowhere to vent her temper, so she could only shut up and remain silent.

After returning to the room, the rain, which had stopped, started again.

At first, it was just a sparse sound of rain, but it grew more and more intense, pattering like raindrops hitting banana leaves.

"It's raining again."

Chiho stood at the window, looking outside.

"what happened?"

Aoi Asahi asked a question.

"Nothing much, just a feeling that summer rain can come so suddenly."

After giving a reply, Chiho still stood by the window, looking at the dense rain curtain that resembled white pearls.

"I feel like I've lost something, right here in this rain."

"It feels like there's a void inside me."

He frowned, deep in thought.

No matter how much I think about it, I can't figure out what I've lost.

Chiho kept looking at the rain and thinking about it.

Looking at Chiho's expression, Aoi understood almost instantly what Chiho was doing.

"She sensed something was wrong; she felt a void."

"She lost the ability to like and love, just like she used to be. She felt that the world had suddenly become somewhat fake, and she felt somewhat out of place."

"Go to sleep, Chiho."

With a sense of inexplicable panic, Aoi suddenly said, "You still have a cold today. If you sleep with the window open, you might feel unwell again."

Chiho, who was called, snapped out of her reverie and smiled at Aoi Asahi.

"You really care about me, Aoi." She seemed to be implying something.

Aren't we friends?

Asahi Aoi pretended to be nonchalant.

"Yes, we are friends." The girl nodded; "However, I have serious doubts about our friendship."

"What's there to doubt?" Aoi's mouth was a little dry. "Have you forgotten all the memories we shared?"

"I haven't forgotten."

Chiho closed the window, leaving only a small crack for ventilation: "However, I don't trust you."

"Huh? What is it that you don't trust about me?"

"Because, I feel that you, Aoi, are the kind of person who values ​​romance over friendship."

Kirishima Chiho looked at Asahi Aoi slyly: "I suspect that you're urging me to go to sleep so that you can sneak out of the room and do something naughty to Natsugiri Kai after I fall asleep."

"So that's what you think."

"I thought you'd discovered you had amnesia."

Aoi, whose heart had been pounding, finally relaxed.

She said, "I'm the kind of girl who would never do that kind of thing."

"Oh?" Chiho teased, "Very confident, huh? What kind of girl do you think would launch a night raid?"

Asahi Aoi looked at Chiho with a strange expression, which made Chiho feel somewhat confused.

But Aoi didn't mind. She simply took off her clothes and crawled into the thin blanket: "Time to sleep."

Chiho could only laugh it off and lie down on the bed.

Even with the window closed, I could still hear the clear sound of rain outside.

"It's just the sound of rain, so why is it so penetrating?"

The girl was thinking about this kind of question.

Even though they could be ignored, the fine raindrops became all the more distinct.

It seems the raindrops didn't hit the tiles.

Instead, it settled in my heart, making me feel inexplicably sour.

I even felt an urge to cry.

"It's so funny, when did I become such a sentimental girl?"

"Just listening to the rain makes me so sad."

Chapter 208 That's just a common tourist attraction that's been artificially created. [4k]

The Ullambana Festival ends on the 15th of August.

On August 16th, Asahi Aoi and Natsugiri Kai left this place.

After returning with Chiho, they thanked Chiho's grandmother and said goodbye before leaving.

However, we didn't go directly to the seaside town.

Instead, they first returned to Tokyo No. 2, packed their things, and then went to the seaside town.

Even after going to the seaside town, the result was completely different from what Asahi had imagined.

She thought she could awaken Xia Wuzhao's memories, even if it was just a little bit.

Because of this idea, she took Xia Wuzhao to the forest tunnel. The trees on both sides of the tunnel were still lush and green, and the tunnel was extremely cool because of the breeze.

Asahi walked slowly, constantly looking left and right, until she suddenly quickened her pace when she was almost at the end.

At the end of the forest tunnel, under a tree, stood a tall bunch of sunflowers.

It's growing vigorously, almost half a person's height.

The leaves were emerald green, swaying gently in the sea breeze.

In front of it is a blue ocean with white waves surging, and behind it is a lush, green forest.

It was from that point that a boundary was drawn.

Asahi stood before him, overwhelmed with emotion, but Natsugiri remained unmoved.

The girl swallowed the words she wanted to say, and only wistfully and reluctantly touched the sunflower leaves with her hand.

The two of them left the woods again and sat at the semi-abandoned station, watching the swaying waves. Next to the station were clusters of sunflowers, a dazzling field of flowers.

Many tourists were taking pictures of the flower field.

Do you know what this is?

Asahi asked Natsugiri Kai casually.

Xia Wuzhao said, "It's just a sunflower field, what's so special about it? Aren't man-made tourist attractions like this common in the city?"

"So, you think this is a tourist attraction."

"Is not it?"

"Who knows?" Aoi looked at the distant sea. "Perhaps no one knows why this flower field appeared."

She mimicked Xia Wuzhao's tone, speaking ambiguous words while gazing intently at the ocean.

The ocean remained unchanged, still shimmering in the wind, whipping up continuous waves that splashed up large amounts of foam on the breakwater.

Exactly the same as before.

"Xia Wuzhao was sitting right next to me, but things were not the same as before."

Asahi Aoi thought to herself that she would only stay there for a short while before leaving with Natsugiri Kai. After finding her notebook at Natsugiri Kai's old house and visiting her mother-in-law, she decided to leave.

The girl then returned to the hotel.

She and Xia Wuzhao both stayed at the hotel and chose adjacent rooms, but each paid their own way.

In her room, Aoi Asahima flipped through her notebooks.

Looking at the handwriting and what was written on it, her heart was filled with happiness, and she seemed about to immerse herself in it.

But the thought of her current state made her lower her head involuntarily.

The tears dripped onto the paper, blurring the writing.

She was sobbing, and she looked quite distressed.

Is it impossible to go back?

The girl couldn't help but think that way.

She brought Xia Wuzhao back to the seaside town, but Xia Wuzhao's memories seemed to show no signs of returning.

He was still the same as before, and he didn't even remember the sunflower field he had planted himself.

"Why—why is this happening?"

The girl was so aggrieved that she was almost in tears. She murmured that she didn't understand why she had to suffer like this.

I could clearly see what happiness looked like, but it vanished in an instant.

Her body was hunched over, almost folded up, as she lay on her knees, sobbing softly.

"Asahi?"

Xia Wuzhao knocked on the door and called out from outside.

"I'm here!"

After quickly responding, Asahi hurriedly composed herself, wiped away her tears, and then opened the door.

Xia Wuzhao glanced at her and then said, "Want to go get some late-night snacks?"

"No."

Aoi shook her head: "I'm not very hungry."

"Would you like to get a drink?"

Xia Wuzhao then asked, "Although it's by the sea, don't you think it's hotter by the sea in the summer than in other places? Just walking for a while, your clothes will be soaked with sweat."

Looking at Natsugiri Kai like this, Asahi Aoi couldn't help but ask, "Did you hear something?"

What do I need to hear?

Xia Wuzhao calmly looked at Asahi Aoi.

"nothing."

The girl shook her head and closed the door again.

Only a small gap was visible: "I'll go after I change my clothes."

"Ah."

Xia Wuzhao leaned against the wall next to her and waited.

The girl leaned against the door, tilting her chin up as she looked at the pale ceiling.

"Does what I've done still have any meaning? Can Xia Wu regain his memories? If he can't, then should I keep clinging to him?"
