I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

"Huh? You want a next time? Do you know how much you've caused me?!"

"Get out! Get out of here!"

The store manager pointed outside and shouted sternly.

The shop assistant was so anxious that tears were about to stream down her face. All she could do was apologize repeatedly, and she even tried to kneel down.

However, the store manager was still furious.

Chiharu Tokisaka watched this scene unfold, and she found herself unable to move.

Chiho saw this and asked, "Tokisaka-senpai, do you want to help that shop assistant?"

No, that's not it.

Chiharu Tokisaka shook her head, her eyelids lowered: "If we help her now, the manager might admit his mistake. But after we leave, he'll only hate this employee even more."

“If we really help her, then we will only be harming her.”

"Moreover, even when treated like this, she is unwilling to resign. She probably has some unspeakable difficulties. So, as long as she can keep her current job, she is probably willing to endure such criticism and scolding."

Chiharu Tokisaka said, "So, let's not go and help."

Seeing that scene, Xia Wuzhao said, "If it were you, what would you do?"

"I?"

Chiharu was taken aback, then smiled and said, "I'll probably work really hard to try and avoid getting scolded by the manager."

"So you're saying she got scolded because she didn't try hard enough?"

Xia Wuzhao looked at Tokisaka Chiharu.

"Huh?" Chiharu was taken aback, somewhat at a loss for words.

I don't know how to answer.

An awkwardness immediately crept into her pale golden eyes. She smoothed her hair and after a while, she said, "I will probably work even harder, to the point that the store manager won't blame me."

"So, how hard do you have to work to avoid being criticized?"

Xia Wuzhao said, "Didn't you say that this girl might not resign because of certain things? Would a girl in this situation not try her best?"

Chapter 276 That Sour and Painful Liquid [4k]

Chiharu Tokisaka, clumsy on the left and awkward on the right, was rendered speechless by the question.

She kept fiddling with her gray sideburns, her light gold eyelids drooping.

Her lips were pressed tightly together, and her expression revealed a pleading look.

However, Xia Wuzhao remained unmoved, while Chiho seemed to be enjoying the show.

Only Aoi Asahi couldn't help but say, "Natsugiri, don't be like that. Tokisaka-senpai didn't mean it that way."

As if she had been saved, the girl didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief.

Chiharu quickly said, "That's right, that's not what I meant. I—"

When she tried to defend herself, she found herself unable to come up with any new reasons.

"What exactly am I trying to say? Am I admitting it? Or denying it? If I'm denying it, what exactly am I denying?"

For a moment, the girl was speechless.

Asahi Aoi couldn't stand Chiharu's troubled expression.

Asahi said softly, "Let's go, Natsugiri. There's nothing interesting about this. It's not good to keep talking about it. Since we're not going to help her, let's not discuss it anymore. It's like we're judging her suffering."

She couldn't bear to look at the shop assistant who was being scolded.

Xia Wuzhao said, "Asahi, when we first met, you seemed like a delinquent."

He spoke softly, making the girl feel somewhat ashamed.

Asahi's face immediately turned red, as if she were ripe, and she clenched her fists.

At that time, she was sad and pitiful.

His heart was filled with resentment and anger, and what came out of his mouth were sarcastic and barbed words.

Nature seems to be bad.

But now she is completely immersed in happiness.

"Really, that anger and resentment are long gone. Now, I'm a gentle person, like a Yamato Nadeshiko."

The girl patted Xia Wuzhao's shoulder in dissatisfaction, and said angrily, "Let's hurry up and leave."

Chiho was naturally a little jealous of how close Aoi and Natsugiri were.

She said with a smile, "Huh? Was Aoi a delinquent girl before? I really didn't expect that."

"certainly not."

Aoi retorted.

"I don't believe it." Chiho tilted her head. "Because Natsugiri said so."

Aoi pursed her lips: "I'm not talking to you anymore."

The two girls started arguing again, and the group walked forward for a while longer.

However, Chiharu Tokisaka left very soon.

She said apologetically, "Oh, I'm so sorry everyone. It seems there's a new request."

Holding her phone, she felt extremely guilty.

Neither of the girls cared; they just told Chiharu Tokisaka to hurry up and get busy.

Chiharu Tokisaka then ran away quickly. She seemed a little flustered, but once she was far away, it was clear that she breathed a sigh of relief.

My shoulders feel much more relaxed.

Chiho watched Tokisaka Chiharu's retreating figure and said, "Tokisaka-senpai, how should I put it, you're a bit naive."

"is it?"

Xia Wuzhao did not go to see Tokisaka Chiharu.

“Of course that’s how it is,” Chiho said. “She’s really too naive.”

She smiled again as she said this: "But aren't innocent girls adorable?"

"But you guys might think it's too childish."

She chuckled.

Aoi frowned slightly; she hated this kind of behavior of talking badly about others behind their backs.

She tried to stop her as soon as she opened her mouth.

Xia Wuzhao replied, "Are you that annoying?"

"Dislike?" Chiho thought for a moment, "I guess I don't dislike it."

"But Xia Wu, why do you think I dislike her?" The girl couldn't help but scoff. "It's not because of what you said earlier, is it? You underestimate me, Xia Wu. What I said earlier was just a few words of reflection. Just reflections, you know."

"Ah."

Xia Wuzhao nodded, readily believing Chiho's words.

Chiho was taken aback; she hadn't expected Xia Wuzhao to react this way.

She covered her mouth: "Xia Wu, you really are very trusting."

After saying that, she stretched vigorously: "But what are we going to do after today? Hmm, Xia Wu, won't you invite me to your house for a visit?"

The girl blinked her cute eyes, looking expectant.

"Chiho, let's forget about it," Aoi Asahi said. "The Natsugiri family hasn't been cleaned up yet, so it's not convenient to bring people in."

"Is that so?" Chiho sighed; "That's such a pity."

Only then did Asahi feel a little relieved.

—Thank goodness, thank goodness we managed to get out today.

Otherwise, something serious will happen.

"So, shall we go to another store? Shall we go sing karaoke?" Chiho said. "It's really popular these days, people go to karaoke in twos and threes."

Aoi hesitated; she had never been to a karaoke bar.

Upon seeing this, Chiho immediately encouraged her, "It's really fun, and it's a classic activity. Even if you don't go today, you'll have to go sometime."

In the end, the group went to a karaoke bar to sing.

Although Xia Wuzhao wasn't interested in it, she still sat there listening to the two girls sing.

At first, the two girls were very considerate of each other.

But then, in the end, they suddenly wanted to fight over it again.

Xia Wuzhao just watched like that.

Asahi Aoi's songs are rather old-fashioned, like songs from TV dramas from many years ago, with a strong sense of nostalgia.

Chiho sings more popular songs, many of which Natsugiri Kai has never heard before.

However, Chiho said that this is the most popular song recently.

Although Aoi felt that her singing was a bit old-fashioned, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

These are some of the few songs she is familiar with, and she often sees them on television.

Because it was her first time, she was so tired that she was almost covered in sweat.

I felt embarrassed to go out, so I prepared to wipe away some sweat and spray some antiperspirant.

And while you're at it, spray on some perfume.

Only Chiho and Natsugiri Kai remained in the room. Chiho smiled and said, "Still feeling down, Natsugiri? You don't seem very interested."

"No."

"But you seem lifeless." Chiho sat down next to Natsumi, her pleasant fragrance filling the room.

"Isn't this good?" Xia Wuzhao asked back, "I like this peaceful life, without any surprises."

"But there's not much expectation either, is there?"

Chiho smiled and said, "So, I think you're still angry. Is it because of what I said before? Well, I'll apologize to Chiharu later."

She spoke of it so casually, as if she didn't care about such things.

However, Xia Wuzhao looked at her and said, "Why should I apologize?"

"Because I said bad things about Tokisaka-senpai before."

The girl propped her cheek with her hand: "Besides, even Aoi seems a little unwilling. It looks like I really did do something wrong."

"Really? Weren't you trying to help Chiharu out of that awkward situation? If you hadn't said those things, the atmosphere would probably have been really awkward. Weren't you cleverly changing the subject? Besides, didn't you think I disliked Chiharu, which is why you did that?"

Xia Wuzhao didn't look at the girl, but only stared at the swaying images on the screen.

The girl was taken aback, and then she felt a little embarrassed.

It's like having your disguise torn off, revealing your true self.

Her crimson hair swayed, and her eyes blinked.

After a long while, she finally said, "Oh, you're overthinking it, Xia Wu. How could I possibly do such a thing? And even if you were to write it like that, you should be saying it to Aoi, right?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh again.

"But I'm very happy. I didn't expect that I have such a good image in your heart, Xia Wu."

The girl tilted her chin up and put her hands on her hips: "So, it turns out I'm still a good person. Now, I'm really quite proud of myself."

She chuckled softly, as if she found it somewhat amusing.

However, with her innocent and charming appearance, she looked more like a chubby little fox at this moment.

The girl's heart was pounding like a deer's, almost deafeningly so.

It seemed as if it had been touched.
