I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

This made the other girls smile involuntarily, appearing extremely happy.

It wasn't until the teacher came in and said, "Class is starting, everyone go back to your seats."

Only then did everyone reluctantly return to their seats.

However, Chiho tattled to Aoi Asahi: "Just now, Natsugiri Kai was peeking at me."

Aoi was taken aback and looked at Chiho seriously.

"These words...they sound just like Chiho from before."

She said softly, "Perhaps it's just an illusion."

"Hmph, you still don't understand," Kirishima Chiho said softly. "I'm absolutely infallible when it comes to things like this."

However, Kirishima Chiho was still being vain: "But then again, it's only natural that I get attention when I'm so cute. Haha."

Aoi Asahi just smiled and said, "Then I'll talk to Kai Natsugiri about these things after class."

Chiho responded with a smile.

"Such a tactful hint should be enough for Aoi to understand."

Kirishima Chiho thought to herself, then looked at her teacher.

Jun Yokokawa stood in front of the lectern, shaking the book in his hand, and said in a helpless tone, "I know you're all excited, but the cultural festival is in October. There hasn't been an official announcement yet, so you'd better not get too excited and continue with your classes as usual."

She said that before the class started.

However, the atmosphere was always bad, always unpleasant.

Jun Yokokawa could only keep emphasizing it, but everyone still didn't take it seriously, as if they were wild horses running wild.

The atmosphere only improved slightly after Yokokawa Jun finally lost his temper and gave him a hard time.

Only then did everyone remember the intimidating power of Yokokawa-sensei, and they all became serious.

Even the first class after summer vacation was no different from before.

Every lesson felt like a copy, and the experience was almost identical. Every teacher seemed to be rambling on and on, and every student seemed to be dozing off, looking either half asleep or wide awake.

When get out of class ended, everyone suddenly seemed to come back to life.

They cheered and gathered around Kirishima Chiho.

They started talking about the topics they hadn't finished discussing last time.

Jun Yokokawa hit Xia Wuzhao with a piece of chalk and beckoned to him with his finger: "Come with me."

Xia Wuzhao then got up and followed Yokokawa Jun toward the reception room.

Asahi Aoi glanced at Natsugiri Kai, then at the many girls standing next to her.

She pursed her lips slightly.

Upon arriving at the reception room, Yokokawa Junsai sat wearily on the sofa by the window, expertly lighting a cigarette and gazing around.

Fortunately, the wind outside was strong, and the smoke was drifting outwards.

"What's wrong, teacher?"

"It's nothing. It's just that you did the right thing regarding Chiho, so as her teacher, I should praise you." Yokokawa Jun said casually, tapping the table in front of her with her legs crossed. "But you did do a really good job. Kirishima has changed a lot."

"Back then, although she was still everyone's favorite class monitor, what do you think was missing in other people's attitudes towards her compared to now?"

"I don't know, teacher," Xia Wuzhao said, sipping her tea.

“It’s about respect,” Jun Yokokawa said. “People used to value her, but that was because she was liked. But being liked and being respected are different. A toy might be liked by some people, but it will never be respected.”

“But things are different now. Chiho is a girl who is respected. Even if Chiho makes those people do things they don’t like, those girls will still do them. That’s called respect. It wasn’t like that before.”

As she spoke, she flicked the ash into the ashtray in front of her.

That's why I said you did a good job.

Jun Yokokawa said, "As for your relationship with those two girls, I won't ask. I don't understand the relationships between you young people either."

"But you must be careful about one thing, and that is not to make them sad."

“I can’t do that, Yokokawa-sensei,” Natsuki Kai said calmly. “You understand that, don’t you?”

“Of course I know about this.” Jun Yokokawa looked at Kai Natsugiri. “But a teacher’s responsibility is to remind and teach. Even if you can’t do it, it’s still necessary for me to tell you.”

"After all, you're still a student. Knowing or not knowing are two different things."

Looking out the window at the strong winds blowing relentlessly, she asked, "How do you feel now?"

"Me?" Xia Wuzhao pointed to herself: "Teacher Chun, are you asking me?"

"Otherwise what?" Yokokawa Jun glanced at him sideways. "Otherwise, who do you think I'm asking?"

"I thought you were asking about Chiho or Asahi."

Xia Wuzhao looked at the lazy Yokokawa Jun and spoke calmly.

"Isn't it enough that you're concerned about those two?" Jun Yokokawa said. "I don't need to investigate their affairs in detail anymore."

Jun Yokokawa stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray: "I'm just a little worried about you. After all, everyone else has someone who cares. But who cares about you, Natsugiri?"

"I don't need anyone's attention, Ms. Jun."

Even though she was being spoken to like a pitiful child, Xia Wuzhao still answered in the same way.

"If no one cares about you, can you still be considered to be living in society?" Jun Yokokawa drew random lines in the air with his finger. "So-called society is a network connected by countless threads. Each node is a person. And the connecting threads are the emotions of everyone."

"If the connecting threads are lost, the nodes will fall off the web. The same is true for humans; without the emotional connections, they will fall off the social web."

“There’s nothing wrong with that, is there?” Xia Wuzhao said. “If you’re all alone, there’s nothing wrong with that either, isn’t there, Mr. Chun? It means there are no worries or confusion.”

"You're so stubborn, Natsugiri." Yokokawa Jun kept scratching his head, looking distressed.

After smoking another cigarette, she said, "Forget it, there are some things you can't understand until you're at the right age. No matter how much I say, it's useless. Just remember what I said before."

She waved her hand, indicating that Xia Wuzhao could leave.

Xia Wuzhao bowed deeply before getting up and leaving.

But just as they were about to reach the door, Jun Yokokawa called out to Kai Natsugiri again: "Hey, did you have a good summer vacation, Natsugiri?"

"I guess they're happy," Xia Wuzhao replied, turning her head.

"That's good." Jun Yokokawa smiled casually at him; "Then let's keep it this way."

“I will,” Xia Wuzhao replied, then looked at Yokokawa Jun: “Jun-sensei, you seem to be giving me a lot of special treatment.”

"Isn't that obvious?"

Jun Yokokawa waved his hand dismissively: "Of course, a teacher has to favor good students, especially those who won't cause trouble for themselves."

"If we don't favor students like this, then who should we favor?"

“With your family background and such good grades, all the teachers would instinctively take care of you.”

Xia Wuzhao then left the reception room and headed towards the classroom.

He bumped into Chiharu Tokisaka as he turned the corner of the stairs.

Chiharu Tokisaka, with her long, gray-chestnut hair and pale gold eyes, looked hurried, but her skin was a darker shade than when she had last seen her.

She used to have fair skin, and although it is still fair now, it has a slightly healthier wheat color.

She seemed to be in a hurry, and was taken aback when she saw Xia Wuzhao.

He smiled again and said, "Hey! We meet again, junior who bought flowers. I bet you had a good summer with your girlfriend."

"I don't have a girlfriend," Xia Wuzhao replied indifferently.

"Hehe." Chiharu Tokisaka covered her mouth and laughed; "I understand, I understand. These kinds of things can't be said out loud. Senpai will keep it a secret for you, okay?"

Xia Wuzhao simply looked her over and asked, "Did you find a job during your summer vacation, senior?"

Chiharu Tokisaka, who had been smiling happily, suddenly looked dejected.

She tried to cover it up with some embarrassment: "Found it, of course I found it."

She puffed out her cheeks and said, "Look, my skin has become a little darker because I worked during the summer vacation."

"However, don't be fooled by my current tan; I'll be back to my original tan next week."

She happily made a peace sign: "This is my one-of-a-kind good skin, aren't you envious?"

Xia Wuzhao just watched her silently, like a robot stuck in a rut.

"You're envious, aren't you?" Chiharu Tokisaka said happily. "If you want it, I can tell you my skincare secrets later. But I have something to do now, so I'll be going now."

She smiled and ran quickly and hurriedly downstairs.

She looks incredibly energetic, like the female lead in a morning drama.

It's hard to imagine what could possibly be holding her back.

Does she really harbor a demon within her?

Xia Wuzhao asked Xiao Ai.

“Not yet,” Xiao Ai said. “However, there’s a crack in this girl’s heart. If left unchecked, it will eventually be taken over by a monster.”

"Let's wait until the monster appears before we talk about it."

Xia Wuzhao then walked towards her classroom.

"Without monsters, it's like doing something pointless."

At the classroom door, Asahi stopped him.

They led him to the corner of the stairs, where it was deserted and rather quiet.

"how?"

Were you looking at Chiho during class today?

"Yes, that's right." Xia Wuzhao admitted directly.

The girl's eyes became complicated: 'Do you remember what I told you by the lake?'

"Yes, I know." Xia Wuzhao didn't look at the girl in front of him. He answered softly, "You said you like me."

"Yes, I did say those words."

Asahi Aoi stood in front of Natsugiri Kai again, staring intently at her.

But Xia Wuzhao looked outside again.

"What are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at the sky."

"The sky is a completely unbearably blue again?" Aoi said with some dissatisfaction.

"Mm." Xia Wuzhao nodded.

Aoi paused for a moment, then couldn't help but sigh.

Feeling that she shouldn't dwell on this, she asked, "Then why do you want to go see Chiho? You know Chiho is my friend, right?"

"I just find it a little strange."

Xia Wuzhao said, "I just feel that something is different."

"Could it be that he's remembered his memories of Chiho?"

The girl's heart skipped a beat, but she said nonchalantly, "That's a lame excuse, like a typical pickup line."

“Is that so?” Xia Wuzhao asked back; “However, that’s really what I think.”

“It’s just a common illusion.” Aoi Asahi waved her hand. “It’s like sometimes we feel that what’s happening now has already happened. But actually, it’s just an illusion of the brain.”

"So, it's fake, something you don't need to care about."

"Is that so?" Xia Wuzhao nodded; "I understand."

"That's good. Chiho is my good friend." Aoi added, "If you do anything wrong, I'll be in a lot of trouble."

Asahi Aoi kept giving instructions, which all boiled down to one principle: stay away from Chiho.

But as soon as she finished speaking, the girl fell into self-blame again.
