I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

Perhaps because the afternoon was the start of the holiday, the atmosphere in the classroom was extremely cheerful.

Although everyone was complaining about the scores, they were also joking, "Your ranking is so bad this time, your parents are definitely going to cut your allowance when you get home."

Those who get good grades will pretend to be serious and say, "Oh, my grades are just so-so. I'll be lucky if I don't get scolded by my parents when I go home this time."

This sight caused everyone else to burst into laughter.

Because the first and second place students are both in this class.

Therefore, there are also special rewards, which is a kind of incentive policy of the principal.

Teachers also receive rewards, and students also receive rewards.

Before long, two boys who had poor grades but were strong and often asked to do things by the teacher, and who were therefore particularly enthusiastic, brought over two boxes of fruit.

One is an apple, and the other is a pear.

These are all very common fruits, but they still made these teenagers cheer.

This is something they can boast about to outsiders.

Jun Yokokawa entered the classroom with her books, glancing at Kai Natsugiri and Aoi Asahi.

He said to the people below, "Heh heh, very excited, huh?"

Everyone laughed and teased this teacher who was more like a friend than a teacher.

"These achievements were all won for us by our first and second place finishers. Remember to thank them." Jun Yokokawa feigned a listening posture: "Who was the first place finisher?"

"Summer Mist Island!"

Both boys and girls were shouting.

"Hmm, very good." Jun Yokokawa nodded. "So, who came in second place?"

"Sunflower!"

Although the sound was a bit quieter than Xia Wuzhao's this time, it was still very loud.

The boys and girls all had happy smiles on their faces.

After each exam, they could use these things to show off to their friends in other classes.

So they were all smiling happily.

Jun Yokokawa nodded: "What's next?"

"Thank you both for your contributions to Class 1-B!!"

The students cheered, and those who liked to egg each other on were laughing and banging on the table.

Led by Jun Yokokawa, a continuous clapping sounded throughout the classroom.

Everyone looked at Xia Wuzhao and Asahi Aoi with curiosity or admiration.

Xia Wuzhao remained calm, as if nothing had happened.

Aoi was even somewhat moved, and it even made her heart ache.

But she just sat there as usual, like a statue.

Because people prefer today's sunflower, not the usual sunflower.

The ordinary sunflower is a child of gloomy, drizzly rain, a child of dampness that is almost moldy.

Today's sunflowers are children gilded with a golden edge, like the sun shining brightly; they are not the real thing.

It's really strange how ever-changing the human heart can be.

When someone likes you, everything about you is seen as a virtue. Your silence is mistaken for reserve, and your quietness for ladylike manners.

They are willing to elevate you to a high position, and are willing to offer you their intoxicating enthusiasm with their gaze and applause.

But when someone dislikes you, everything about you will be seen as a flaw.

Your silence is taken as darkness, your quietness as aloofness.

They wish they could trample you into the mud and tear everything you own to shreds.

They are also so good at changing their appearance.

They usually despise you, and the mere thought of breathing in the same space as you makes them furious.

When I'm in a good mood, it's as if I completely forget all the bad things I've done in the past.

It's as if we've always been friends, as if we've always been this close.

Perhaps they think that what they do in their daily lives is nothing special or "big".

Instead, it is an ordinary and mundane "little thing," like breathing air.

It was just a casual "playful" act, not "malicious".

Sunflower has gone through so many things that she is now just like a sculpture.

Because if you have no expectations, you won't get hurt.

This is her principle.

Looking at Aoi Asahi's appearance, Jun Yokokawa could only sigh.

Asahi Aoi is undoubtedly a girl she highly regards, but if things continue this way, she may face even more difficulties in the future.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Xia Wuzhao again.

It would be even better if Natsugiri Kai's personality could share some of the warmth with Asahi Aoi.

Junya Yokokawa only thought about it for a moment and did not interfere.

She simply gestured for the applause to stop.

Then have the two boys distribute the fruit.

Because tomorrow is the start of the long holiday, we had a class meeting this morning.

Jun Yokokawa tapped on the table as she spoke about the usual precautions, but she did so very earnestly.

She spoke fluently without pausing, as if she had said it many times before.

The students below listened attentively, because everyone knew that Yokokawa Jun was at his strictest at this time.

Normally, he's all smiles and jokes like a friend, but at this moment, if you even let your eyes wander, you'll be punished by Yokokawa Jun.

Moreover, they are quite inhumane.

Even Xia Wuzhao had to listen attentively.

However, this strict time limit only lasted twenty minutes. At the end, Yokokawa Junsai said, "You must remember what I just said. I don't want to have to deal with your affairs during the holidays. Moreover, if you cause trouble, you might be rejected by schools in Second New Tokyo."

This made everyone nod slightly nervously.

She rambled on for a few more minutes before starting the lesson.

However, everyone was distracted and kept looking forward to the end of school.

Jun Yokokawa noticed, but didn't say much. He just went to class and left as usual.

Her classes were able to maintain order with difficulty, but the other teachers' classes were embarrassing.

The students were always too lively, requiring teachers to frequently maintain order.

Fortunately, we made it through the difficult time, and school officially ended at noon.

The teachers sighed as if they were being liberated.

But the students cheered and ran out like a swarm of bees.

Only Natsugiri Kai and Asahi Aoi were walking towards the club building.

Chapter 40 She did her best to maintain her dignity

The two walked one after the other in the corridor.

They were like two complete strangers.

The closer they got to the horticulture department, the closer the two became.

When standing at the entrance of the horticulture department, the distance between the two people is five centimeters.

Natsugiri Kai stepped aside to let Asahi Aoi step forward.

Asahi skillfully took out the key and inserted it into the lock. The gardening club's door was an old-fashioned iron gate. A wooden sign for the gardening club hung on it, and it looked very worn.

It was covered in scratches, and the writing was completely blurred.

However, there was no dirt to be seen.

Every day when Asahiku comes, she wipes the sign clean.

After school, they would always clean the gardening club thoroughly, tidying up the gate, the ground, the windows inside the building, and all other clutter.

The blankets will be spread out on the bed so that they can be aired out in the morning.

Xia Wuzhao was sometimes asked to help with the gardening department, which meant he often couldn't go to work at the izakaya.

However, he already had a general idea of ​​Keiko and Yajima Jiro's progress.

So it's not that important anymore.

When you turn the key, the old door lock makes a clicking sound.

Asahi asked casually, "Do you need the key to the horticulture department? I have another one here."

Her hesitation made it seem as if she wasn't offering a key.

But Xia Wuzhao said casually, "What if I were to say no?"

Asahi Aoi glared at Natsugiri Kai with annoyance and said with dissatisfaction, "You're not trying to avoid after-school chores, are you?"

She seemed certain that this was indeed what Xia Wuzhao was thinking.

“I hate this kind of trouble,” Xia Wuzhao replied.

"Here you go with this key." Asahi Aoi opened the door and forcefully shoved the key into Natsugiri Kai's hand.

Before Xia Wuzhao could object, he immediately went inside.

She bit her lip, her cheeks flushed.

My fingertips were trembling from the touch.

Xia Wuzhao looked at the key in her hand. It was an ordinary silver key with uneven teeth.

A red string is tied to it to prevent it from getting lost.

The key was still warm, carrying body heat.

Xia Wuzhao put it in her pocket before entering the horticulture department.

Sunflower had already grabbed the watering can and was ready to water the flowers.

She said, "During long holidays, we'll put the plants on the rooftop. That way, we can come and water them when we're on holiday, and if it rains, we won't have to brave the rain to water the flowers."

She talked on and on about the plants, while Xia Wuzhao listened indifferently.

Finally, he said, "I'm going to eat first."

As he spoke, he took out two lunch boxes and piled them on the table.

Aoi deliberately asked, "Still not selling?"

She blinked, deliberately looking at Xia Wuzhao.

"Yeah, they still can't sell them."

Xia Wuzhao answered in this way.

“But I didn’t see you selling boxed lunches today.” Asahi Aoi seemed to have caught Natsugiri Kai in a compromising situation.

“Since it’s after school today, no one will be buying them,” Xia Wuzhao said expressionlessly. 'Isn’t that obvious?'

Aoi Asahi was taken aback, then frowned and said, "Then why did you bring two lunch boxes?"

“Because that’s how you make money,” Xia Wuzhao said calmly. “You never know if you’ll achieve your expectations until you’re disappointed.”

"Because the probability of anything in the world is not zero."

"Even if we can't sell them, we still have to make them. Once we make them, there's a chance they'll sell."
