I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

During the meal, they started talking about Asakawa Yo again.

Aoi Asahi didn't really want to talk about this kind of thing, but she had no choice because of Yokokawa-sensei's request.

"Asakawa-kun, you seem a little strange."

"where?"

"Xia Wu, didn't you feel anything?" She widened her eyes in surprise and asked again, "Really not?"

"Hmm," Xia Wuzhao responded, then asked, "What do you find strange?"

“It’s strange everywhere.” Aoi thought carefully, then poked her face with her finger. “If you have scars, you would usually be careful to cover them up.”

"However, it seems like she deliberately let it slip during her self-introduction. And she seems to really dislike being disturbed."

As she spoke, she frowned slightly: "If she doesn't have any friends, she would probably be very happy if someone wanted to be her friend."

"But she didn't like it."

After repeating all the strange points, Asahi Aoi looked at Natsugiri Kai and said, "These are all very odd places."

“I think it’s fine,” Xia Wuzhao said calmly. “You’re being too stereotypical, as if having friends is some huge deal. If someone doesn’t fit the stereotype, they’re considered weird.”

Aoi Asahi did not refute, because she remembered her first meeting with Kai Natsugiri.

My own attitude is also very strange.

She chuckled slightly and said, "Then let's just pretend it's not strange. But how are we going to explain this to the teacher?"

"When there's not much to do later, you can tell the teacher: The task is complete."

"If you do that, be careful, Yokokawa-sensei might criticize you."

Xia Wuzhao took a sip of water: "I don't care about that kind of thing."

"I believe in Natsugiri," Aoi Asahi said, and then stopped talking about it.

After finishing her meal, Aoi quickly took a shower and finally returned to her room to call Chiho.

—Because some things can't be explained clearly just by sending a text message.

It didn't take long for the call to go through.

"Hello, hello, Aoi, you finally called me."

Chiho lay on the bed, asking lazily.

Frowning, Aoi said, "Actually, I need your help with something."

"Hmm? What's up?" Chiho became slightly interested: "Aoi actually has a day when she needs my help~ I thought you were with Natsugiri every day."

Aoi pursed her lips, deciding to ignore what Chiho was saying and simply continue stating her question.

"It's about Asakawa Yo. Natsugiri's attitude towards Asakawa Yo seems quite peculiar," Asahi Aoi explained in detail. "He actually apologized to Asakawa Yo before! That's very rare, very rare. And just now at home, I was talking about Asakawa Yo's strange behavior. But Natsugiri said it was normal. Is that really normal?"

She couldn't help but complain, but all she heard on the other end of the phone was Chiho's laughter.

Chiho rolled around on the bed, her bright red hair a mess.

"What's so funny about that?" Aoi asked, frowning.

“Of course it’s funny,” Chiho said solemnly. “Because Aoi, you’ve finally learned to do some things that girls should do.”

"I always wanted Aoi to become like this, but I never expected that Asakawa Yo would actually accomplish this, even though she's just a transfer student."

"Hmm, does that mean I'm not worth Aoi doing this for?"

"Something feels off. Why do I seem so insignificant now, no match for her?"

Chiho frowned.

Aoi Asahi found Chiho's words strange: "What do you mean I finally did something a girl should do? I've always been a girl."

Coming to her senses, Chiho coughed a few times: "You used to always seem so indifferent, as if you had nothing else to focus on but studying."

"Now, she's finally getting jealous like a girl. She's also paying attention to other things now, which is really great!

Unable to help but frown, Asahi Aoi emphasized, "What you're saying seems to have absolutely nothing to do with what I'm asking about."

“Yes, there is a connection.” Chiho shook her finger, looking at the ceiling. “Actually, what Natsugiri said is not wrong. In fact, Asakawa Yo is not strange at all. It’s just that you think she is special, so everything she does becomes special.”

“That’s not it.” Aoi Asahi emphasized again, “I’m not talking about that kind of thing. I’m talking about how Natsugiri Kai’s attitude towards Asakawa Yo is different.”

"This one?"

Chiho was silent for a moment, then lay on the bed and thought about it carefully: "It's probably because Natsugiri Kai has a good impression of someone like Asakawa."

"Are you joking?" Aoi Asahi retorted.

"Hehe, I was just joking. I didn't expect you to find out."

Chiho said in a funny voice like a merchant giving out big prizes, "Actually, I didn't see Natsugiri's behavior towards Asakawa, so I don't know what happened. I can't help you, Aoi."

With a sigh, Aoi Asahi said helplessly, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Let's chat a little longer, Aoi," Chiho said reluctantly, but Aoi didn't agree.

Only after the phone call ended did Chiho's light smile finally disappear, returning to her inorganic expression.

She sighed slightly and slowly combed her hair: "I always feel a little uneasy."

"I guess I still really like Xia Wu."

Thinking this, Chiho said, "However, let's wait until Natsugiri returns to normal before we talk about it."

At night, countless people toss and turn, unable to sleep.

But the next day, Asahi and Natsugiri both got up very early.

As I was leaving, I ran into Mrs. Asakawa.

She greeted her, and Mrs. Asakawa returned the greeting.

"You're really diligent."

She smiled and said, "Yao-chan, you'll be out in a little while."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, she finally said, "Although this may be a bit inappropriate, please take good care of Yao-chan if possible."

"That child—"

She sighed, but didn't finish her sentence.

“We will.” Aoi smiled and nodded.

"I'm really sorry to trouble you all," the neighbor sighed, seemingly quite worried.

But Natsugiri Kai and Asahi Aoi had nothing to say.

After exchanging a few pleasantries about other matters, I parted ways with my neighbor.

While waiting on the platform, Aoi Asahi whispered, "Asakawa Yo's mother is really a good person."

Are you envious?

"A mother like that is definitely someone to be envious of," Aoi said softly. "A happy family is always something to be envied. It's just like a family in a TV drama, making it hard to believe it's real."

Xia Wuzhao remained noncommittal, simply listening quietly to Asahi Aoi speak.

But Aoi didn't say anything more, she just sighed again.

An elderly woman waiting for the bus nearby overheard this and said with a smile, "Young lady, it's not good to be sighing so much at such a young age. It's a beautiful spring day, but you're sighing as if it were a rainy day."

Aoi could only smile and apologize.

The old lady thought for a moment, then took out a bookmark from her pocket: "This bookmark is for you."

"How can this be?"

She quickly refused, waving her hand.

But the old woman smiled and said, "It's nothing valuable. I made these myself in my spare time. The shop is just over there, so please accept them."

With that said, Aoi Asahi finally accepted the bookmark.

Only then did the old woman finally pass away in peace.

Aoi then carefully examined the bookmark in her hand; it was a dried cherry blossom, sandwiched between thin acrylic sheets.

It looks very ordinary.

“It’s very beautiful.” She showed it to Xia Wuzhao.

But Xia Wuzhao simply said, "I guess it's because you look so melancholy that I'm treating you like a literary girl. I want you to visit her shop more often in the future."

Asahi Aoi patted Natsugiri Kai: "Don't think so badly of people."

Xia Wuzhao simply smiled and said nothing more.

But instead, she grabbed her loose braid that was wrapped around her shoulder and said, "Aren't I a literary girl?"

She blinked, deliberately asking Xia Wuzhao.

"Probably so."

Xia Wuzhao said calmly.

"That's not a good idea," Asahi Aoi said, giving Natsume a playful punch. "Besides, you're the one who styled this hair, how can you say something like that?"

Xia Wuzhao had nothing to say and could only let Asahi Aoi hammer her like that.

The tram seems to be running a little late today.

Asakawa Yo had arrived at the platform, but the train had not yet come.

Asahi Aoi glanced at Asakawa Yo and said politely, "Good morning, Asakawa-san."

Asakawa Yo looked somewhat reluctant, but she still bent down and said softly, "Good morning, Asahi-kun."

happy New Year to all

Then I'll take a day off.

Chapter 383 The Blazing Heat and Where Cherry Blossoms Fall [4k]

She spoke so reluctantly that it made it seem as if these things were something unacceptable.

Perhaps, that really is the case.

So, the two of them didn't say another word to her until they got into the car.

There were quite a few other people on the tram. Although the tram was relatively quiet, some elderly women were still chatting.

They seemed to be good friends, chatting quite skillfully about everyday matters.

Xia Wuzhao would occasionally glance at Qianchuan Yao and notice that she didn't seem to react to the old women's conversation.

He just leaned against the window, looking outside.

"I thought she was going to scold those old ladies," Xiao Ai muttered.

"Why?" Xia Wuzhao asked Xiao Ai in her heart.

Xiao Ai answered matter-of-factly, "I thought Asakawa was that kind of person, because before, she reprimanded Lady Xiawu without any mercy. And when she greeted her just now, she didn't hide her reluctance."

"So, I think she's the kind of girl who's very straightforward. Asakawa should really hate it when these old ladies keep talking on the streetcar."

"—Isn't she the one who loves quiet the most?"

She spoke with great confidence and reason; "Perhaps this information will be very useful for Lord Xiawu in winning her over."

"Oh, thank you."

As Xia Wuzhao spoke earnestly, Xiao Ai fell silent, beaming with delight, but kept staring at Qian Chuanyao, wanting to discover something unusual about her once again.

However, Asakawa Yo was indeed a very quiet person. Even after getting off the train, Xiao Ai didn't notice anything else strange, which made Xiao Ai extremely frustrated.

After arriving at the station near the school, the three of them got off the tram.

However, Asakawa Yo lagged far behind, looking rather aloof.

During this time period, students gradually arrived at school. Some were yawning, probably because they hadn't slept well the night before.

Hello hello~~

Chiho stood on the slope and waved to the two of them: "Good morning, Natsugiri and Asahi."

"Good morning."
