I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

"I should be strong! What's the point of wallowing in self-pity like this? Why should I be afraid?"

"They should be the ones worrying about me, after all, I was their first girlfriend."

"I am no longer myself, I am Asahi Aoi."

"It's the 'asahi' of 'asahi'."

She stood up, smiled freely, and said to Xia Wuzhao, "Let's get ready now."

"So early?"

"Well, since Chiho's family has a car, they should be able to get there a bit faster than us, so we'll be leaving now."

Asahi Aoi explained it this way, and Natsugiri Kai accepted it.

He changed into casual clothes and looked no different from usual. Asahi Aoi was also wearing casual clothes: a pleated long skirt, a ruffled blouse, and a red jacket.

She looked so light and graceful that one wondered if she was cold.

However, Aoi Asahi also wore a pair of slightly thicker tights, which were very warm.

She was wearing white leather shoes, and looked like a normal teenage girl.

She stood in front of Xia Wuzhao and twirled around slightly: "What do you think?"

The young girl smiled sweetly as she combed her long hair.

Looking at the radiant girl in front of him, Xia Wuzhao thought of the past.

The Asahi sunflower used to be thin and wore a school uniform.

Standing there, he always kept his head down.

It looked like it was blown over by the wind and fell over.

At that time, she was gloomy, timid, and in pain.

At that moment, she was radiant and strong, just like a flower.

Xia Wuzhao said, "It's very cute."

"How cute is it?"

"As cute as a flower."

Xia Wuzhao said this softly.

Aoi Asahi couldn't help but laugh: "So corny, it sounds like a love confession from a long, long time ago."

“Is that so?” Xia Wuzhao said calmly. “I don’t often pay attention to these things, so I probably wouldn’t be able to come up with any modern compliments.”

The girl smiled, put her hands behind her back, and turned around.

Her hair swayed as she said, "Yes, I believe in Xia Wu."

After leaving the house, the two prepared to take an old-fashioned tram to school.

The two sat together on the tram.

Outside, leaves are gradually falling, and the leaves have lost their lush green color.

Asahi Aoi looked at Natsugiri Kai: "What do you think Tokisaka-senpai will say today?"

"It's probably something she entrusted to us," Xia Wuzhao said. "After all, she's been busy with this matter for the past few days."

"I think Tokisaka-senpai will say something else."

Aoi thought for a moment: "Didn't you say yesterday that Tokisaka-senpai works very hard? Isn't her help club very popular now? People ask her for help every day."

"Hmm." Xia Wuzhao nodded. "Perhaps, that's how it is."

The two chatted casually, without needing to discuss anything in particular.

They chatted casually about all sorts of things, like discussing everyday matters.

Sunflower sometimes thinks too.

"So-called happiness is probably built up little by little in life and daily routines."

The girl couldn't help but smile, and she asked about other things.

"Are you going back for the New Year, Xia Wu?"

"Yes, I'll probably go back," Xia Wuzhao said. "After all, my mother-in-law is still there."

"Grandma," Asahi Aoi sighed, unable to help but say, "Grandma is a good person."

She was very grateful to her mother-in-law because her mother-in-law had helped her with many things.

Xia Wuzhao simply nodded.

We finally arrived near the school and were walking on the slope.

The girl looked at the trees on both sides: "We didn't see any cherry blossoms this year."

"Since cherry blossoms only bloom in April, it's understandable that we didn't see them."

But Aoi smiled and said, "Next year, next April, we'll be able to walk along this cherry blossom path together."

"Things will definitely be better then."

She was looking forward to it.

Natsugiri Kai did not respond to Asahi Aoi, but simply said, "I've already seen the minister, so let's hurry over."

Chiho stood at the school gate, dressed even more beautifully and adorably.

Just looking at the material of the clothes, I felt they were very expensive.

As for Chiharu Tokisaka, she was still wearing her school uniform.

"Yay~ Hello."

Chiho waved and smiled at Natsugiri Kai.

Chiharu Tokisaka smiled brightly and said, "I've been waiting for you for so long, Natsugiri and Asahi."

After greeting everyone, Xia Wuzhao asked, "Where are we going today?"

Chiharu Tokisaka crossed her arms, chuckled, and said, "I'm very poor, so I can only go to the cheaper shops."

"It's alright."

Chiho said nonchalantly, "Aren't we friends? So whatever it is, it's fine."

"As long as I can get Natsume Kai out, that's fine."

That's what the girl was thinking.

"Asahi is too strict with me. If I don't call him out, I can't do anything I want to do."

Chiho looked at Aoi Asahi and smiled, "Aoi, do you have some important activities planned for you today?"

There are no events scheduled.

Aoi Asahi shook her head: "Just staying at home normally."

Chiho didn't believe it, and just chuckled, "Let's go to the store instead."

Chiho didn't drive today; she came by train.

So when I went to the store, I could only walk there.

She was still wearing shoes with a slight heel; walking in them for a long time would definitely hurt.

But Chiho still dressed like that on purpose.

"Only in this way, if I can't walk anymore later, I can have Natsugiri Kai carry me. That way, even Asahi won't be able to refuse."

She smiled, and the four of them walked down the slope.

The group chatted as if it were any other day, casually talking about things they had seen and interesting things.

Everything seemed calm on the surface, but Chiharu Tokisaka definitely felt that both Aoi Asahi and Chiho seemed to be saying things with hidden meanings.

They were extremely confrontational.

Chiharu Tokisaka hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything.

I just watched the two of them keep saying things that seemed unrelated, but were actually quite confrontational.

Chapter 274 The Trivial and Ordinary Daily Life

Chiho was holding Aoi's arm, and they really looked like Chiho's best friend.

If you don't know them, you might think they are very friendly best friends and close confidantes.

However, Chiharu Tokisaka knew that although they were friends, they were also enemies.

Neither of them wanted to give up on Xia Wuzhao.

Chiharu Tokisaka felt that if she were to choose, she would want Aoi Asahi to succeed.

—Because Chiho is so happy. She has a wonderful family, wealthy circumstances, outstanding looks, and a brilliant mind.

It was as if she were the chosen one, and all the good things in life were bestowed upon her.

If that's the case, then why bother competing with the sunflower?

Chiharu Tokisaka thought so, but she only thought about it in her mind.

He did not say it out loud.

Chiho chuckled, "If you have the chance in the future, go out and have fun more often. Staying at home all the time must be very boring. Aoi, we only have three years together. After three years, we will each go to university. By then, it will be too late to see each other again."

"Everyone went to different places all over the country. These three years have been the most precious three years for us."

"So, we should seize the time and create precious and beautiful memories."

"Isn't this what a rosy life is all about?"

She was clearly speaking to Aoi Asahi, but it also seemed like she was speaking to Kai Natsugiri.

Aoi Asahi felt a little uncomfortable with Chiho's intimate actions and wanted to distance herself a bit.

However, Chiho's arms were wrapped around her so tightly that she couldn't pull them away at all.

It's like a prison guard controlling prisoners.

"If you do it intentionally, can it still be considered a precious and beautiful memory?"

Asahi Aoi said, "Aren't precious and beautiful memories treasures discovered by chance? The kind of sparkling happiness that is accidentally discovered in the flowing daily life?"

"Heh heh, Aoi, you're so naive."

Chiho scoffed, "If you don't deliberately create them, where will the beautiful memories come from? Everyday life is just a mundane, ordinary gray-white."

Aoi frowned, disagreeing with Chiho's words.

But Chiho suddenly asked Natsugiri Kai, "Natsugiri, what do you think? Do you support Aoi or me?"

She smiled.

"Anything is fine."

Xia Wuzhao chose a mediocre answer.

Both girls were dissatisfied, but neither showed it on their faces.

So they went to ask Chiharu Tokisaka again: 'Tokisaka-senpai, what do you think? Whom do you support?'

"I believe that as long as you work hard enough, you will definitely be able to find wonderful memories."

Chiharu Tokisaka gave her own answer; she did not support anyone.

The two girls looked at each other, and Chiho couldn't help but laugh again.

"Is it enough to just work hard?" Chiho chuckled. "Tokisaka-senpai, you seem to think that hard work is everything. You're being a bit too naive."

"Isn't that how it is?"

Chiharu Tokisaka countered, "Is effort worthless?"

“If hard work were worthwhile, then the richest people would all be in the countryside,” Chiho said. “Tokisaka-senpai, hard work is like currency. It seems incredibly valuable, but it’s not.”

"Currency depreciates. Effort itself also depreciates."

"Before modern society, one only needed to work hard on the land to harvest food and maintain a slightly comfortable life."
