I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

"I am so despicable."

Even though she herself didn't know how to face Natsugiri anymore, she still subconsciously tried to stop Chiho and Natsugiri from getting together.

"I am truly despicable."

Looking at Xia Wuzhao in front of her, she subconsciously bit her lip.

"I no longer know how to face Xia Wuzhao."

"What I love is Xia Wuzhao, the Xia Wuzhao of the past, the Xia Wuzhao with memories."

"Xia Wuzhao is still Xia Wuzhao."

"But what exactly should I do to help Xia Wuzhao regain her memories?"

"I don't know about this either."

The girl felt unbearable pain just thinking about it.

She likes Xia Wuzhao and hopes that Xia Wuzhao likes her back.

However, Chiho's words that day pierced her heart like nails.

It caused her great pain, and confusion would surface from time to time.

"Does Xia Wu really like me? Or is he just trying to save me, which is why he's approaching me?"

But now Xia Wuzhao has lost her memory, so it's impossible to know whether it's true or not.

But then the girl thought it was a little ridiculous.

"I used this kind of thing to mock Xia Wuzhao when we first met. But I never expected that in the end, I would actually be saved and fall in love with him."

"what happened?"

Xia Wuzhao looked at Asahi Aoi, the girl lowered her eyelids, concealing her chestnut eyes.

Her long hair hung down like wet raven feathers, obscuring her cheeks and skin.

What are you thinking about?

"It's nothing, Xia Wu."

The girl forced a smile at Xia Wuzhao.

"Even so, I don't want anyone else to become Xia Wuzhao's lover."

Even if you become lovers, the most you can do is kiss.

"Chiho's situation was an exception; her memories hadn't returned yet at that time. So she could only let it be."

"Now I understand everything. I absolutely cannot let anyone else become my lover."

The girl made up her mind, but couldn't help complaining.

"Such a relationship is truly decadent and twisted."

"I am clearly his lover, but I can't be sure. I clearly love him, but I can only maintain this kind of relationship."

The girl thought about it, but was powerless to do anything about it.

I can only console myself.

"All I need to do is stay by Xia Wuzhao's side. If he hasn't regained his memory today, then I'll wait until tomorrow. If he hasn't regained his memory this week, then I'll wait until next week."

If we didn't wait this year, then we'll wait until next year.

"You'll get to it eventually."

With that thought in mind, Aoi Asahi made up her mind.

Xia Wuzhao glanced at her, and just by looking at the girl's expression, she understood what the girl was thinking.

"But the more you act this way, the less I will show that my memory hasn't disappeared."

"You just need to focus on your own life."

Aoi Asahi had no idea what Natsume was thinking; she just felt that this was good enough.

After giving her detailed instructions, she said, "That's all, that's fine. Chiho won't mind."

After saying that, he went back into the classroom.

The classroom was as noisy as ever.

Chiharu Tokisaka found a quiet place before quickly answering the phone.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't answer the phone just now."

The girl covered her ear with her phone and kept bowing, even though no one was in front of her.

The person on the other end of the phone asked, "Who are you?"

"I am Chiharu Tokisaka, who went for the job interview yesterday. I am a student at Midori High School."

Chiharu Tokisaka said nervously, "The position I'm applying for is a convenience store clerk."

"Oh, so you're from Midori High School."

“Yes! I am a second-year student at Midori High School,” Chiharu Tokisaka said quickly.

“Students from Cuiyu High School are certainly trustworthy,” the female shop manager said. “However, we are also in a dilemma. We have already filled all our positions for the afternoon and evening hours.”

Is that so?

Chiharu Tokisaka felt somewhat lost and disappointed, and her tense body relaxed.

The store manager added, "If you really want this position, there are also night shifts available. It's from 10 PM to 6 AM the next day, a total of eight hours. The pay is also a bit higher than during the day, about 1100 yen per hour."

Chiharu Tokisaka patted her pockets and gritted her teeth.

She said, "I do."

The store manager breathed a sigh of relief: "So, can you start work today? Do you have any work experience? Can you come here for training this afternoon?"

“I have work experience; I often work part-time in other places,” Chiharu Tokisaka said hurriedly. “I can probably go there around five o’clock this afternoon.”

"That's fine. I'll stay in the store until five o'clock."

After saying that, the store manager hung up.

"call--"

Chiharu Tokisaka breathed a sigh of relief and put her flip phone in her pocket.

He leaned tightly against the wall, looking completely exhausted.

"Finally, finally I've found a job again."

She laughed happily, clenched her fist, and waved it a few times in front of her.

"It's not difficult at all."

But when class started, she hurriedly ran back to her own classroom. The class was discussing the school festival, and although Chiharu Tokisaka was very interested in it, she was thinking about her future work.

"I'm working at a convenience store tonight, so I don't need to eat lunch or dinner. I can save some money and eat things from the convenience store that are past their best-before date. Fried food can be eaten after four hours, oden after six hours, and even expired bento boxes are safe to eat."

"However, I don't know if this time we went to a directly operated store or a franchise store. The rules in directly operated stores are stricter; employees are prohibited from eating things that have passed their best-before date."

"The franchise stores are owned by the owners, so there aren't as many rules. However, they don't strictly adhere to the 'best before' date for anything, and you never know when it will be thrown away."

She pondered this matter, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Maybe the boss is secretly watching to see if I'm following the rules today, and I might not be able to eat those things."

"I should try harder today and perform better."

She was a little sad; she really had no money left today.

"Rent, regular food expenses, utilities, and toiletries."

The more she thought about it, the more pressure she felt.

Occasionally, other girls would strike up a conversation with her, and Chiharu Tokisaka would skillfully smile and talk to them.

After school in the afternoon.

"Chiharu, wanna hang out?" a girl invited her. "It's the first day of school, wanna go sing karaoke?"

"I'm not going, I have work today." Chiharu Tokisaka clasped her hands together and said to the girl, "Sorry."

The girl complained, "When I contacted you during summer vacation, you should have just said you were working."

Chiharu Tokisaka could only smile and say, "Next time, I'll definitely go next time."

He ran out as soon as he finished speaking.

She planned to go home, take a shower, and then sleep for half an hour.

That way, I'll have enough energy when I go to work in the evening.

However, I set multiple alarms, starting at 3 o'clock and setting one every five minutes, for a total of nearly ten.

"At this rate, we won't be late, right?"

The girl thought to herself.

As for Aoi Asahi and Kai Natsugiri, they are going to join Chiho in the Literature Club.

Aoi and Chiho chatted and laughed all the way.

Xia Wuzhao walked behind, looking at the trees outside.

After entering the Literature Club, Chiho looked at the bouquet of flowers on the table.

"Whose flowers are these? They've all withered."

The girl pointed to a bouquet of flowers in a box on the table; the water inside had long since evaporated.

The flowers had all withered, their original colors gone, leaving only a patch of yellowish-brown.

Xia Wuzhao remained unmoved.

"This is probably mine."

Asahi Aoi glanced at Chiho and Natsugiri Kai with a complicated expression, and said, "When you weren't here, I bought this bouquet of flowers and put it here."

"It's really withered now."

"Should we put it away? Or should we throw it away?" Chiho picked up the bouquet and looked at it carefully. "These things look like chamomile, baby's breath, Australian wintersweet? And starry night."

Chiho froze as soon as she read out the names of the flowers.

How would I know?

"It seems somewhat familiar?"

She twirled the bouquet, looking at it back and forth.

Asahi stepped forward and forcefully accepted the bouquet of flowers.

“Yes, these are the flowers. I think we should take them back, since we paid for them.” Aoi Asahi said with a smile, “You really are a young lady from a wealthy family. Chiho, you can recognize the names of these flowers at a glance.”

"Oh, Aoi, you're saying that on purpose again."

Kirishima Chiho tapped Asahi Aoi's shoulder in dissatisfaction: "What kind of weird talk is this about 'young lady'? It's disheartening."

After saying that, Aoi Asahi deliberately smiled.

Kirishima Chiho helplessly shrugged and gestured for the others to sit down.

Aoi placed the bouquet beside her, while Chiho placed the box on another table piled with miscellaneous items.

"The First Meeting of the Literature Department!"

Chiho smiled mischievously: "It's about the cultural festival activities!"

"What are you going to do?" Aoi Asahi asked Chiho Kirishima.

“That’s exactly what this meeting is about!” Kirishima Chiho said; “However, that’s precisely what we need to discuss.”

"What did the seniors in the Literature Department do back then?" Xia Wuzhao asked.

"They're probably some novels I wrote myself, or books from club activities that I can borrow for free." Kirishima Chiho pointed to the cabinet next to her. "These cabinets also contain a lot of books that the library doesn't have, like comics."

"Although this is how we've always done it, we absolutely cannot do it this time for the club activity! We need to be more innovative!"

Kirishima Chiho seemed very interested, and Asahi Aoi echoed her sentiments, but Natsugiri Kai seemed uninterested.
