"is it?"

Aoi Asahi said something that left Natsumi confused about what she meant.

So he said, "If that's not the case, then I'll be going now."

With that, Xia Wuzhao turned around and prepared to leave.

If it were an ordinary girl, she would immediately change her tune.

They used phrases like "I never accepted it" to try and change Xia Wuzhao's mind, or to make things difficult for her.

That's how it should be, because the sunflower is so angry, so furious.

She hated Xia Wuzhao's attitude, as if she were treating her liking and love as something to be replaced or repaired.

No, absolutely not.

"My love is absolutely not something that can be repaired or replaced; it is a unique and fragile thing, and every injury will leave a permanent scar on it."

"Neither an apology nor any other form of remedial action can restore it to its original, flawless state."

Asahi Aoi stood there, watching Natsugiri Kai's retreating figure as she walked towards the stairwell.

Her chestnut eyes were deep and unfathomable, and her black, feather-like hair swayed in the wind.

The girl remained unmoved, even though she knew it was a great opportunity.

He just watched with such indifference and calm.

"I have my pride, I have things I cannot forgive, and I have things I cannot accept."

"I am Asahi, the Asahi of Asahi."

She didn't lower her head, but looked into the distance. The distant mountains and forests were lush and green, and the tips of the trees rippled like waves when the wind blew.

With her chin tilted back, she didn't look haggard.

As Xia Wuzhao walked to the front of the stairwell, she suddenly turned around and walked towards Asahi Aoi.

When he reached the girl, Aoi looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Ok?"

She was puzzled as to why Xia Wuzhao had returned this time.

Looking intently at Aoi Asahi, Natsugiri Kai said seriously, "When I got to the stairwell, I remembered something."

"What is it?"

"I think I really did something to wrong you." Xia Wuzhao looked at Asahi Aoi.

Aoi Asahi was clearly taken aback. She released her grip on her hair, crossed her arms, and looked at Natsugiri Kai.

What did you do wrong?

“It’s probably about the crepes,” Xia Wuzhao said. “I thought that would make it up to you. But actually, I shouldn’t have done that.”

"Because it's an insult to your feelings. As if that's all it takes to make up for it."

As he said this, Asahi Aoi finally looked at Natsugiri Kai.

She remained silent for a long while before finally saying softly, "Yes, that's how it is. That's why I'm sad and unwilling to forgive you."

Looking at the girl, Xia Wuzhao said, "I'm sorry about this."

The girl took a deep breath, her chestnut eyes fixed on Xia Wuzhao in front of her.

He said earnestly to Xia Wuzhao, "I forgive you. I forgive you for this. But it doesn't mean it's over, and it doesn't mean we can pretend nothing happened."

"So, what should I do to make it up to you?"

“No need, you don’t need to do anything, Natsugiri.” Aoi Asahi said softly, “I didn’t say those things to ask for compensation. I’m not that kind of shallow girl.”

"I like you, but I won't use that to make you my lover."

As she said this, she couldn't help but laugh: "I also have dignity, Xia Wu."

"I do like you, but this is my own business. You don't want to feel burdened by it or want to respond to it. Because I like you, not the other way around. This is my liking."

"So, don't worry about it. If you really like me, then you can respond to me then."

"Furthermore, when I say I forgive you, it doesn't mean I'm treating what happened as if nothing happened. It's not like that."

"The wound will never heal; it will always be there."

"But, but, Xia Wu. You need to know that no matter what mistake you make, as long as you apologize, I will forgive you."

“It’s not that an apology can make up for past pain, but that I chose you every time. I love you, so when you apologize, I temporarily forget the pain from the past.”

"This might be considered forgetful, or a lack of learning. But this is who I am, this is what I like, this is what I love."

"Do you know now, Xia Wu?"

The girl smiled warmly at Xia Wuzhao.

As always, just like before.

Xia Wuzhao said, "I understand."

“Then I forgive you, Xia Wu.” The girl held up her little finger: “Let’s pinky swear.”

Xia Wuzhao stretched out her hand and hooked her little finger with her little finger.

"We made a promise that neither of us would ever do such a thing again."

Asahi said earnestly, "This is our promise, you have to keep it. Because, you know, I never want to go through something like this again."

Xia Wuzhao looked at Asahi Aoi and said, "Okay."

The two of them were waving their fingers at each other like children.

After a very long time, they finally let go.

But after it was over, the two of them didn't know what to say. They just looked at each other, silently gazing at one another.

Xia Wuzhao lowered her head and took out a ring from her pocket.

He placed it in his palm and handed it to the girl.

"This is my apology."

Xia Wuzhao said this.

"A ring?"

The girl's voice was somewhat surprised and astonished.

"It's not a ring."

Xia Wuzhao said, "It's a necklace without a chain."

"Really? Is that so?"

The girl still liked it and was still somewhat delighted.

She held it tightly in her palm; the ring was slightly cool, and the chestnut-colored gemstones set in it pricked her palm.

"So, will it one day become a ring?"

"I do not know."

The two of them exchanged questions and answers, but there was nothing ambiguous about it, and no hint of romance.

Rather than saying they are family, they are more like people who have been with you for a long time.

The relationship between the two may be friendship or familial affection.

But it doesn't matter what it is.

Aoi Asahi understood that her future life might be just like today.

There's no need to deliberately find topics to talk about, or to intentionally bring up topics that will make the other person happy.

Just looking at each other like this makes me feel happy.

Just having their presence by my side is enough for me.

"Let's go to the classroom."

The girl spoke first, and she walked toward the stairwell, clutching the ring.

Looking at the girl's hair bouncing on her shoulders, Xia Wuzhao called out, "Aoi Asahi."

"Ok?"

The girl turned her head and looked at Xia Wuzhao: "What's wrong?"

What kind of weather do you like?

Xia Wuzhao asked.

"Hmm?" The girl looked at the sky in confusion. The bright sunshine made it seem like it was summer.

After thinking for a moment, she said to Xia Wuzhao, "Rainy days, I like rainy days, Xia Wuzhao."

"So, it might rain today."

Natsugiri Kai said this while looking at Asahi Aoi.

"Mmm." Aoi smiled indulgently: "I wish it would rain today."

"I hope it will drizzle all day long."

Xia Wuzhao made a wish, and the energy she had accumulated decreased by three quarters of an hour.

The sky gradually became covered with dark clouds, and the sunlight that was shining directly into the sky was slowly blocked by the clouds.

As the first gentle breeze blew, raindrops began to fall with a pattering sound.

The girl cried out in surprise and quickly hid in the stairwell.

She waved and called out to Xia Wuzhao, urging him to take shelter from the rain.

By the time the two of them had taken shelter in the stairwell, the rain had soaked the entire rooftop.

A certain earthy smell and the dusty smell of cement filled the surroundings, lasting for about a few minutes before disappearing completely.

What follows is the fresh, comforting scent of rainwater, wiping away all the lingering heat and odors.

"It's really raining." Aoi Asahi exclaimed, looking at the strings of raindrops outside.

"Did you do this?" the girl asked.

"Hmm, what do you think?" Xia Wuzhao asked in return.

“I think you did it,” Aoi Asahi said.

"Why?" Xia Wuzhao reached out and caught a drop of rainwater.

The girl replied without hesitation, "Because if you did it, I would feel very, very happy."

"So, I hope it was you who did it."

Chapter 230 Staying away from you means staying away from happiness [4k]

Chiharu Tokisaka sat in her seat, looking at the light rain outside, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Her seat was near the innermost window, and as soon as she opened the window, she could smell the fresh air that the breeze from outside was blowing in.

"It's raining again."

She looked at the dark sky outside and felt quite troubled.

Rainy weather is actually a good thing for her, because she can be lazy and sleep in at night.

But the girl was clearly not that kind of person; on the contrary, she would work even harder on rainy days.

Without customers, she will find it even harder to get through the day.

Because it was just so incredibly boring.

She yawned and dealt with her friends around her.

"Yes, that's definitely true."

She used phrases like these to answer the questions from her friends.

She was just too distracted because she was so tired.
