I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

Perhaps because of the mountainous area, the elderly always like to plant flowers. Vines and flowers can always be seen climbing all over the low walls.

The lives of the elderly are often quite monotonous; they have more time than children and fewer worries than middle-aged people.

However, their bodies were severely deteriorating.

That's why life becomes tasteless, with each day being a fixed routine.

However, it's much better than those elderly people who have to work even when they're old and have all sorts of problems.

Asahi looked at it and said, "When we get old, will we also be unable to straighten our backs?"

Xia Wuzhao said, "Humans are all like that."

"If that's the case, then it's truly pathetic."

The girl looked at the old people.

"why?"

Xia Wuzhao said, "To have reached this age, one has already experienced far more time than others. Shouldn't one feel fortunate to be able to continue living such a life?"

"But if I grow old and can only look at my old face through photos and reminisce about my youth, I'm sure I'll feel pain in my heart."

The girl said, "Because I can never go back to the past, to the things I once had but have lost. That kind of pain must be unforgettable."

She looked at the elderly people, some of whom were watering the flowers.

Standing before those vibrant flowers, the old people looked rather withered.

"If it were me, I wouldn't be able to stand it."

The girl said this, and Xia Wuzhao said, "If someone suddenly turned into an old person, most people would probably break down."

"However, if it's just getting old slowly over time, then most of it is acceptable."

"Humans are highly adaptable creatures."

He said this.

But the girl said, "Perhaps I'm an exception. If I really got to that point, I probably wouldn't be able to bear living anymore."

Xia Wuzhao didn't look at her, but simply said, "But in reality, everyone gets old."

The girl smiled and said, "If it really comes to that, I might not be able to resist wanting to die."

"Who can say what the future holds?"

Xia Wuzhao said, "The present self will never know what choices the future self will make."

"So, Xia Wu, will you also become strange in the future?" the girl asked. "Will you make different choices in the future?"

"Who knows?"

Xia Wuzhao did not answer directly, but only said, "If things really will change, I hope that day will come a little later."

"Hmm, I wish time could stretch out a bit longer right now."

The girl sighed, wishing that today could last much longer.

The two of them wandered the streets, and even when it got dark, they didn't go home.

Today marks the first time the two of them have become monks at night.

At night, I always feel that it is not night, but a different kind of day.

Everywhere was brightly lit, and the crowds seemed even more lively than during the day.

This is especially true when it's on a pedestrian street.

Everyone seemed to come alive again; even the most listless office workers relaxed at night.

He was staggering drunkenly down the street.

The two did not enter the pedestrian street; they only glanced at it as they passed by.

The girl felt an inexplicable aversion to these people.

"There are more people again."

She quickened her pace and hurried past the bustling commercial street.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief after they reached a deserted place.

"It's finally quiet now."

Asahi said somewhat happily, "It was so noisy over there just now."

"Now, the atmosphere has finally returned to what it was before."

"The world is so quiet, it's as if it's just the two of us. If only that were true."

The girl thought to herself.

In fact, aimlessness can also be considered a kind of purpose.

We strolled around, stopping occasionally, and whenever we came across a park, we would sit there for a while.

When we came to the riverbank, we rested on the river embankment for a while.

By midnight, even the streets were almost deserted.

The streetlights were flashing, as if there really were only two people left in the world.

Aoi finally felt tired, so she found a bench by the roadside and sat down.

After taking off her loafers, she struggled to tear off the socks from the soles of her feet.

After stuffing the socks into her shoes, Aoi breathed a sigh of relief.

I was so tired that after taking off my socks, I felt much more relaxed with all the restraint.

She gently swung her legs, supporting herself on the bench with her hands.

The moonlight cast a white, hazy glow on the surrounding trees.

She just stared at the moon.

"The weather is quite beautiful today."

Xia Wuzhao said, "Yes, the moon is very beautiful tonight. Its light shines everywhere, making everything bright."

"But that's precisely why I somewhat dislike the moon."

Aoi said softly, "It's because it always shines on everyone else that I find it annoying."

"If it only shines on me, I will feel that all its beauty has been given to me."

"But then, when I think about how its beauty is given to so many people, that beauty suddenly becomes repulsive."

“I would think—ah, so this kind of beauty doesn’t belong to me alone.”

Asahi looked at the moon: "However, I think I'm somewhat at peace with it now."

She smiled at Xia Wuzhao again.

After resting for a while, Xia Wuzhao carried Asahi Aoi on her back and headed home.

Asahi Aoi, carrying the shoes in both hands, glanced at the moon and said happily, "The moon is shining on us right now."

Chapter 297 I'm willing to be the thorn that pierces your flesh.

What exactly did I do yesterday?

Aoi Asahi didn't know either, and didn't understand.

Even though I was just casually strolling around, the scenes from yesterday were deeply etched in my mind.

It flows through the bone marrow.

Perhaps, even years from now, she will still remember everything that happened yesterday.

Because these are precious memories that cannot be forgotten.

Even though I didn't do anything, I can't help but smile when I recall it, and I can't help but yearn for yesterday.

Yesterday was just an ordinary, even boring, walk.

But it was as if miracles had been sprinkled all over it.

"Just recalling yesterday makes me feel like I'm full of energy."

Aoi Asahi thought so, and that was what she truly believed.

She was clearly in much better shape than before, and a happy smile was on her face.

"But, yet I also feel a little anxious."

"I'm afraid yesterday was just a fleeting dream, a mere illusion within reach."

"I know, that's probably true. Even yesterday, in Xia Wu's eyes, it was probably just an ordinary walk."

"I was the one who thought yesterday was too special, I was the one who thought yesterday was too unusual."

"I'm probably just being delusional."

That's what the girl was thinking.

"If I could, I would become a thorn."

"When he feels this pain, the first thing he thinks of is me."

The weather was quite cool in late October, so everyone went to school a little slower.

Because it's not uncomfortable outside, especially in winter, students will be eager to walk faster to get into the classroom and warm up.

After entering the classroom, Aoi Asahi returned to her seat and chatted with Chiho and her friends around her.

Xia Wuzhao also returned to her position.

In the classroom, the two did not act very intimately.

The girl had concerns, but this was certainly not because she was afraid of what others thought.

Sunflower is no longer afraid of such things. Even if others have their own opinions, what can they do?

She didn't care at all; even if she was told she didn't understand the importance of air circulation, it didn't bother her.

However, the girl was only worried about Xia Wuzhao.

"I don't want to come across as too controlling, and I don't want to come across as too pushy."

"My goal now is simply to spend a long time with you."

The girl was thinking about these things, which is why she reduced the time she spent pestering Xia Wuzhao in the classroom.

"Because we're not lovers right now."

Even in a romantic relationship, you shouldn't invade your partner's private space. If you're always clinging to them, it'll probably annoy them and make them feel miserable.

During class, Jun Yokokawa would stand on the stage.

She tapped her shoulder with the book: "It's already late October, and the second semester will end in late December. You're all high school students now, so it's too childish to keep making a fuss like this."

"If you are high school sophomores, you're probably already struggling with the career path survey form."

Jun Yokokawa sighed, "First-year high school students just need to study easily. Next year, you'll be at the point where you need to start worrying about the future."

"The final year of high school is the stage of all-out effort to prepare. At that time, you won't even have time to feel lost."

"Life is something where you have less and less time to yourself."

"From living for oneself to living for others."

Jun Yokokawa was talking about these things, while the other students were laughing and joking; they weren't really moved yet.

Jun Yokokawa said nothing more and simply began the class.

For them right now, it's too early to talk about the future.

Although Aoi felt a slight stirring in her heart, she forcibly suppressed it.

For her, the future meant being with Xia Wuzhao.

Chiho is not worried about the future, and she is not even concerned about Natsugiri Kai.

Why should I worry?

"Xia Wu is just pretending to have amnesia right now, and I can talk to him in a relaxed manner. Even if I do something outrageous, nothing will happen."
