I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

What is the magic of a bonfire party?

"Ah, here we go again, pretending not to know." Chiho looked at Natsugiri: "Well then, let me ask you another way: Have you and Asahi become lovers?"

“No,” Xia Wuzhao said; “We are still friends.”

“I don’t believe it,” Chiho said. “I saw Aoi wearing a ring on her chest before. The light on the ring was the same chestnut color as her eyes.”

Did you give her the wedding ring?

"Why would you suspect that I sent it?" Xia Wuzhao retorted; "What does this have to do with me?"

"Hmm, you mean that ring was bought by Asahi herself?"

Chiho looked at Natsumi Kai with a mischievous grin.

“Perhaps,” Xia Wuzhao said. “I don’t know where Asahi got the ring from.”

"If that's the case, why are you also wearing a ring around your neck?"

Chiho smiled smugly, like a general in command: "It's a ring similar to the one worn by Asahi Aoi."

"All rings in the world are probably pretty much the same."

Xia Wuzhao replied calmly, "After all, a ring is just a circle on your finger. No matter how you change it, it will always look pretty much the same."

"What a clever excuse."

Chiho stretched vigorously and said with a smile, "But I don't mind."

"Because I've been very happy lately."

The girl said, "If we're talking about the progress of the strategy, my feelings for you have increased a little more."

"So, Xia Wu, what about you? Have your feelings for me also increased significantly? Have you already fallen for me?"

You're overthinking it.

Natsugiri answered Chiho.

"Okay, then I'll try harder tomorrow."

Chiho smiled nonchalantly; "Tomorrow, I'll try to win you over again. Be careful, or you might fall for me, Natsugiri."

"Because if that happens, Asahi will get angry."

She smiled, preparing to leave.

She turned to look at Xiawu and said, "Of course, you shouldn't fall for Asahi either, because I'll get angry if you do."

Chapter 295 Adventure in That City

Natsugiri Kai didn't care about what Chiho said.

He only closed the door and prepared to go find Aoi Asahi after he had tidied up all the books.

"Aren't you going to find Chiharu Tokisaka?"

Xiao Ai asked, "Having said so much before, shouldn't we press our advantage now, Lord Xia Wu?"

"Tokisaka-senpai is a stronger person than you can imagine. She will not give up as long as there is even the slightest possibility."

Natsugiri Kai said, "You can't correct Tokisaka Chiharu just by using words."

Xiao Ai said, "So, all we can do is keep waiting?"

“Yes, Chiharu Tokisaka will always find herself in a situation where she has nowhere left to retreat.” Natsugiri Kai walked towards the library. “Things will be fine when that happens.”

"She's not desperate enough, is she?"

Xiao Ai asked, "So, Natsugiri-sama, what do you think Tokisaka Chiharu will become? In the end, after the yokai leaves?"

"Do what you can and fulfill your responsibilities. Keep your mind in reality, not in fantasy."

"No more pain, no more worries, no more hesitation," Xia Wuzhao said. "Chiharu will probably become like this."

Xiao Ai said, "Maybe this is for the best."

Walking on campus in the evening, Xia Wuzhao felt that the school was different from usual at this time of year because there seemed to be more couples around.

However, in school couples, whether male or female, one of them is always particularly shy.

If both people are outgoing and open, they will definitely go out to play outside of school after becoming a couple, because their relationship will be closer and they will have more freedom outside of school.

However, if both people don't know how to date, they'll stay at school longer.

Because, in school, two people will have endless topics to talk about.

There's no need to worry about the atmosphere becoming awkward.

Moreover, when you don't know how to end it, you can use going home as an excuse.

The two walked home from school together, and finally parted ways at the intersection.

Let's say goodbye and see you tomorrow.

That would make for a perfect date.

There are especially many couples like this after the bonfire party.

It carried a sense of youthful awkwardness.

Xia Wuzhao didn't pay much attention to them and went straight to the library.

There were still some people in the library, and, well, they were couples.

The library is a great place to kill time, and it seems to have a magical power to make couples fall in love. Because any loud movements or noises will attract attention.

So it can feel nerve-wracking, but in the eyes of couples, it can become a source of romance.

When Natsugiri Kai came in, Asahi Aoi was pleasantly surprised.

She quickly stood up and went to Xia Wuzhao's side again. She asked, "Is the club activity over?"

"Um"

As Xia Wuzhao spoke, he looked around and asked, "Is the library still open?"

"It will take a little more time."

Asahi Aoi said softly.

"Then I'll wait here."

Xia Wuzhao went behind the counter and found a seat.

Aoi was rather happy and returned to her seat.

She said, "How is Tokisaka-senpai? Natsugiri, I saw that Tokisaka-senpai seemed to be having some difficulties before."

“She’s still the same as before,” Xia Wuzhao said. “But because she really doesn’t have any work, she’s become very worried.”

Xia Wuzhao said, "Chiho has already finished her work at the company. So, she has a lot of time to waste now."

"so good."

Aoi Asahi said, "It's so nice to have my own time."

She spoke with some concern.

Do you hate working at this library?

Xia Wuzhao asked this question.

“No, I don’t hate it at all.” Aoi shook her head and said, “On the contrary, I’m very grateful for this job.”

"If it weren't for this job, I probably wouldn't be able to survive in this city."

"I just feel like there's not enough time."

The girl smiled and said, "If a day had forty-eight hours, that would be great. Then I would have lots of free time."

"If that were really the case, it would be quite nice," Xia Wuzhao said. "If a day really had forty-eight hours, what would you plan to do?"

"Keep walking along the street."

Asahi Aoi said, "You see, although we've lived in this city for a long time, it seems like we've never actually been to any corner of it."

“We all took the tram from home to school and back again.”

“It seems like we’ve never really explored the corners of the city,” Aoi Asahi said. “I want to see what those corners of the city are really like.”

"So, shall we go take a look tonight?"

Xia Wuzhao said this.

"today?"

Asahi Aoi was somewhat surprised, but she looked at Natsugiri Kai's expression.

She smiled gently: "Okay, the library will be closing soon. After it closes, let's go wander around. It'll just be the two of us this time."

—When school was over, Asahi couldn't wait to close the library door.

Without bringing anything, he and Xia Wu walked out of the school gate.

She linked her arm with Xia Wu's and asked softly, "Where are we going?"

Xia Wuzhao said, "Just keep walking forward like this. Turn whenever you want, just do whatever you want."

The girl neither agreed nor disagreed with Xia Wuzhao's suggestion; she simply smiled lightly.

"This kind of behavior is like taking a risk."

"It's like we're walking through a complex maze, where every identical alleyway is a fork in the road."

Xia Wuzhao asked, "So what's in the treasure chest?"

The girl said, "The treasure chest, actually, is like a treasure chest because of those unique landscapes. We've never seen those landscapes before."

Asahi looked at Natsugiri: "Since you asked me a question, I also have a question for you, Natsugiri."

"If we were adventuring in a maze right now, what do you think the monster would be?"

"It's probably a nightmare," Natsumi Kai said, leaving Asahi Aoi somewhat confused.

"nightmare?"

"Yeah, because when we're halfway there, the thought of giving up might just pop into our heads. That's probably what nightmares are all about."

"It seems that the nightmare is indeed the culprit."

Aoi smiled.

She looked ahead again at the winding, undulating alleyway that seemed to stretch on forever.

"I'm very happy today."

"Why?" Xia Wuzhao asked.

The girl smiled and said, "No reason, I'm just happy."

Chapter 296 Can we stay together forever and never change?

What exactly are we going to do? How long will it take?

Natsugiri Kai was not clear about this issue, nor was Asahi Aoi.

But she thought to herself, "I just hope things can continue like this."

"Because, right now it's just the two of us, Natsume and me."

"Right now, he's right beside me. Even though he might say some nonsensical things, I know perfectly well that I have him right now."

Thinking this, the girl took Xia Wuzhao's arm.

"However, how long can such a beautiful thing last?"

Even Aoi Asahi doesn't understand this question.

But then, she thought.

"As long as you stay by someone's side, there will always be opportunities like this over a long period of time."

The two strolled along, looking at everything around them.

Occasionally, when you walk into a narrow alley, you might be driven away by the environment filled with air conditioner outdoor units and stagnant, dirty water.

Sometimes, you can also encounter areas with a large number of elderly people.
