I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

"A-Kui, it seems like her goal is to go to medical school."

Chiho lay sprawled on the table, looking utterly lazy: "Medical school tuition is extremely high."

Because the medical profession is highly respected and has a high income.

Therefore, the admission requirements are very high, and so are the tuition fees.

The program lasts longer than regular programs, typically six years.

However, becoming a doctor is essentially a small step up in social class.

Chapter 316 That Smile Mixed with Bitterness and Pain

"So what?"

Xia Wuzhao asked Chiho in return.

"I'm a little worried about your finances," Chiho said deliberately. "If you need help, you can come to me."

“If Aoi Asahi asks me for money, I will lend it to her,” Natsuki Kai replied casually.

Chiho asked doubtfully, "I don't see you have a job, but can you afford to go to university?"

"Yes, my adoptive father left me a large sum of money back then."

He made up some excuse for the money in his hand.

"If that's the case, then why haven't I seen you use it before?" Chiho quickly discovered the problem: "If that's really the case, then how come your lives have ended up like this?"

She said, "It's not that I look down on you, it's just that your lives are so ordinary right now."

"Because that was money left to me by my adoptive father. Perhaps on that day, his biological children or some friends who are related to him will need to use this money."

Xia Wuzhao replied calmly, "If I spend it now, it will be difficult later."

"Oh~~"

She looked at Xia Wuzhao meaningfully: "So, you've thought this far ahead?"

Xia Wuzhao did not answer Chiho, but continued to flip through the book.

The girl could only slump dejectedly on the table, looking as limp as a slime.

Her crimson hair flowed like water, and her eyes shone even brighter and more intensely in the autumn twilight.

It looked like there was a fire burning inside.

Xia Wuzhao glanced at it, and it was as if she had been burned.

I instinctively looked away.

"Chichi."

The girl smiled, her eyes narrowed, and said ambiguously, "Summer Mist~~~"

"Ah."

"Let's go out and play~, it's so boring in the clubroom. There's hardly anyone here, and Chiharu Tokisaka next door went home a long time ago."

"So, let's go out and have some fun."

Her tone was as gentle as water, rippling outwards in concentric circles.

"Go on your own."

Xia Wuzhao refused decisively.

This time, Chiho didn't ask, as she knew Xia Wuzhao's reason.

"Do we have to wait for Aoi? But Aoi won't be able to get off work until very late."

Chiho said, "Are we just going to stay here like this forever?"

"Ah."

Xia Wuzhao nodded.

"That was exactly the answer I expected."

Chiho smiled.

"I really liked that answer; it made me feel relieved."

"No need for any burdens or promises. Just like that, there's not much pressure in being together."

After standing up, Chiho stretched vigorously.

"Perhaps, it's just that I'm afraid. What am I afraid of? Probably happiness."

"I simply cannot imagine what happiness looks like, which is why I am afraid and apprehensive."

"And what about Natsugiri?"

She suddenly thought of this question.

"Is the same true for summer mist?"

After thinking it over carefully, she said calmly.

"Then I'll be going now."

He shook his disheveled hair and casually smoothed it down.

Then he turned around and walked towards the door.

"However, these issues are not important at all."

"Because there are many things in the world that simply have no answers."

—Just go with the flow and let everything develop freely.

Just leave everything to your future self.

That's what the girl thought.

As Chiharu Tokisaka walked down the street, she finally felt relieved of the psychological burden caused by her conversation with Kai Natsugiri at noon.

"Just let things take their course."

He muttered to himself, as if trying to convince himself.

"Let's go buy some fruit today, as a treat for ourselves."

She went into a supermarket to buy some fruit.

As she walked in, she felt a little uneasy and anxious.

She doesn't come here often, but she feels there are a lot of people here, as if she's being stared at as soon as she walks in.

She smiled and comforted herself, saying, "There aren't that many people watching you; it's all just a hallucination caused by psychological factors."

"Moreover, I've encountered countless embarrassing situations while looking for a job. How come I feel awkward just from coming in here today?"

Taking a deep breath, she walked straight to the fruit section.

Just looking at the price made her hesitate.

Although it's affordable, it's still very expensive.

Even at the lowest price, she felt it wasn't quite right.

"That's enough to buy at least several bento boxes."

I pondered for a moment, standing in the fruit section.

The girl shook her head and left the fruit section.

"I'll buy it after I get a job."

As she spoke, she walked into the bento box area.

Generally speaking, she only buys bento boxes in the evening. Because the later it gets, the bigger the discount and the lower the price.

But the leftover bento boxes usually don't taste very good.

Moreover, most of the styles are not very popular.

"Let's buy a full-price bento today."

With that in mind, she carefully selected them.

After choosing the dish with the most meat and the largest portion, I finally paid the bill with satisfaction and prepared to go home.

The bag felt rather heavy in my hand.

She was also feeling somewhat happy and joyful.

There was even some anticipation.

She looked around as she walked.

"Suddenly, I feel like a child preparing for a spring outing."

Chiharu Tokisaka couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She really was like a child, looking around.

Even though she was already used to the environment, she felt something different at this moment.

My memories of this place used to be like those confined behind frosted glass.

Even though everything feels familiar, I just can't remember exactly what's around me.

Looking at it now, she sees many new things.

People are always sitting on the chairs outside the convenience store next door. The fire hydrant by the roadside is covered in graffiti, I don't know who did it.

Crows often gather on the treetops, cawing loudly.

She looked around with great curiosity, finding everything different.

"It's probably because before, I was only thinking about finding a job."

Now, however, she is quite spirited.

"My grades have finally improved, so even in front of my parents, I have something to be proud of."

She was talking to herself, holding her phone and looking around.

"I'll contact my parents tonight. It'll be a good time to tell them the good news. If they hear it, they'll definitely brag about it to everyone else."

Just thinking about those things made Chiharu smile.

The smile was radiant, brimming with happiness.

Chapter 317 Crushing Bone-like Pain

After getting home, I took a shower first.

I just spent a little longer in the bathroom today.

When I came out, it was already pitch black outside, and the only bright thing was the moon.

I sat down at the table and touched the bento box.

"It's getting a little chilly."

She looked around and then heated it slightly in the microwave.

Because the microwave oven was salvaged a long time ago, you have to slam the door hard to use it.

First there was a bang, then a snap.

Only then can it be used.

Looking at the dim yellow light shining from inside the microwave, I sat down in front of it and started drying my hair with a towel.

Her phone was on the table, charging. She didn't use her phone often; it was just a habit she'd developed before.

Fully charge your phone while you rest or do other things, so you can study without any burden later.

The towel wasn't very soft; it became soaking wet and felt like a piece of iron.

Chiharu Tokisaka glanced at her phone and saw that the screen showed the battery had reached 100%.

After hesitating for a moment, I stood up and walked over.

The girl finally felt a little relieved after placing her phone face down on the bed and being unable to see the screen.
