I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

"It's nothing," Chiho replied just as perfunctorily.

Asakawa Yo paused for a moment, then stopped talking about Chiho.

Meanwhile, Xia Wuzhao, who was on the playground, heard Xiao Ai calling out in her heart: "Lord Xia Wuzhao, Qianchuan Yao's demonic aura appeared for a moment again just now."

"where?"

“In the women’s changing room.” After saying that, Xiao Ai sighed again; “In that case, there’s no way to find out the reason for her mood swings.”

"Then let's explore it when we have another opportunity later."

When the school bell finally rang, Xia Wukai saw Asahi Aoi, Kirishima Chiho, and Asakawa Yo running towards the playground.

"Perhaps we can ask Aoi and Chiho."

"That's a good idea," Xiao Ai thought so too.

So, after finishing his run, Natsume Kon found Chiho and Asahi Aoi and asked them questions.

The two of them and Asakawa Yo were all sitting in the corner, slacking off.

"It's nothing," Chiho smiled but didn't say anything.

"Oh."

Xia Wuzhao glanced at her and then sat down next to her.

It must be said that Chiho really enjoys teasing Asakawa Yo.

In particular, Asakawa Yo always seemed lazy and didn't want to talk to Chiho.

Perhaps because she found it too annoying, Asakawa Yo had no choice but to answer Chiho's questions.

And so, neither Asahi Aoi nor Natsugiri Kai remained indifferent to it.

"What happened to your scar?"

Chiho suddenly asked this question.

Xiao Ai immediately began to carefully sense and observe Asakawa Yo's expression.

—This is her scar; it must have a painful past.

"It was just something I did accidentally when I was little."

Her voice was soft and gentle.

There was no emotional fluctuation whatsoever; there was neither regret nor resentment.

It's as if they're not talking about the painful scars that hurt the girl, but about the air itself.

That's being said way too casually and nonchalantly.

—But she seemed too carefree, to the point that Asahi Aoi and Chiho found her current behavior somewhat strange.

But Asakawa Yo was completely open and honest, showing an attitude of not caring at all.

Instead, it helped them gradually accept this fact.

"How exactly did it happen?"

Chiho pressed for details, and Asahi Aoi nudged her arm, signaling her not to ask questions that might be annoying.

But it was no use; Chiho just smiled slightly, her expression unchanged.

"Cut by shards of glass."

Asakawa Yo gave a rather boring reason: "When I was a child, someone broke a window and I fell and cut myself."

She smiled faintly: "However, I think I'm still quite lucky. At least my eyeball wasn't punctured, it was just a scratch on my cheek."

"When she said these things, she actually had a smile on her face. It was as if she was talking about something good."

Xia Wuzhao looked at her and said, "You really are lucky."

Asakawa Yo, who had been smiling faintly, suddenly lost her smile.

His voice grew increasingly gloomy: "What kind of good luck is this? Sometimes looks are more important than eyes."

With a snicker, Chiho mocked Asakawa Yo: "Weren't you just saying you were pretty lucky? Now why do you hate it when people say you're lucky?"

"Some words have a different effect when you say them yourself versus when someone else says them."

He said this in a low voice.

After a slight pause, she said in a cool tone, "I have already told you everything, so can you please stop bothering me?"

Chiho simply made a casual gesture, and Asakawa Yo stood up and walked to a place a little distance away from the three of them to sit quietly.

She neither looked anywhere else nor did anything to kill time.

Instead, she looked like a very tired person, her small face buried in her knees, and from a distance, she looked like a stone statue covered with fallen leaves.

He exuded an aura of sadness and silence.

—If a slightly kind-hearted person saw this, they would probably be moved by compassion and want to comfort her.

Asahi thought, "She seems very sad. Did we say something wrong?"

"Who knows?"

Xia Wuzhao glanced at it once and then looked away.

"Perhaps I misspoke," Chiho said with a smile. "But who cares~~."

Aoi could only shake her head helplessly and say nothing more.

She could only chat with Chiho.

Xiao Ai then took the opportunity to say to Xia Wuzhao, "Lord Xia Wuzhao, the demonic energy was only leaked for a moment just now."

"Again?" Xia Wuzhao asked, somewhat bewildered.

“That’s right! Once again! Right after Lady Natsume finished speaking.” Xiao Ai asked, “This should be helpful to Lady Natsume, right?”

"Yes, it helps."

This answer immediately excited Xiao Ai, and she asked urgently, "Lord Xia Wu, what do you think? Did you figure it out? Did you figure out what's really going on with Qian Chuan Yao?"

"Perhaps there's some progress," Xia Wuzhao thought, recalling their earlier conversation.

"That's great!" Xiao Ai immediately perked up. "I knew Lady Xiawu was amazing! I wonder what caused this to happen to Qianchuan Yao?"

"It's probably related to her scars."

"Huh?" Xiao Ai didn't expect to hear such an answer, and asked with some confusion, "Didn't Lord Xia Wu say before that it had nothing to do with the scar?"

“Yes, that’s what I said before,” Xia Wuzhao explained. “But what I meant by ‘it’s not related’ was the inferiority complex and sensitivity caused by the scars.”

“But now I’m talking about the sympathy and pity that comes with the scars.” He slowly shared his conjecture: “She seems to really hate the sympathy that comes with the scars. Whenever other people show her pity, she gets all worked up and her emotions fluctuate wildly.”

"She probably interpreted my earlier comment about good luck as pity. Because it was meant to comfort her. That's why she was so angry and aloof."

At this point, Xia Wuzhao paused for a moment; "Perhaps there are other reasons that I haven't found yet."

"Oh, I see." Xiao Ai said, half understanding. "I'll continue to monitor her emotional fluctuations."

"Lord Xiawu, what are you going to do?" Xiao Ai changed her tone abruptly: "I will definitely help Lord Xiawu."

Xia Wuzhao thought for a moment: "Let's wait and see. Now is not a very good opportunity. Her heart is too strong, so we need to wait for an opportunity, for an opening."

Xiao Ai didn't say anything more, and just fell silent again.

And so, it wasn't until get out of class ended that Asakawa Yo finally moved.

Chiho stretched and said, "It's finally over. My back and waist are aching from sitting here."

Aoi Asahi just smiled at Chiho's words and never took them to heart.

She glanced at Asakawa Yo, but made no move to stop.

"Didn't she become your friend?"

Asahi asked Chiho in a low voice.

“Yes, friend,” Chiho said calmly. “Friends don’t have to be together every moment.”

Suddenly, a huge smile bloomed on her face again.

"Right, Natsugiri~~"

"Ah."

Xia Wuzhao said this.

School life was very ordinary, and there wasn't much to remember.

Although he began to pay attention to Asakawa Yo, her school life was even more monotonous. Every day she followed the same route and had the same activities.

After class, I read books. At lunchtime, I eat on the rooftop. After school, I never participate in club activities; I just sit quietly in the library, lost in thought.

The library is very large and is rarely full.

However, Asakawa Yo has a rather strange quirk: she prefers to be alone, even in the library, she prefers to have her own table.

But by mid-April, due to the upcoming exams...

As the library became more crowded, it became increasingly difficult for her to find a table of her own. Even if she arrived early, she would eventually be asked to share a table.

Asakawa Yo was unwilling, so she had no choice but to leave the library.

She would occasionally wander around the campus, killing time, but other students would always try to get along with her.

Asakawa Yo found it extremely annoying, even when the scar on her eye was exposed.

So she wanted to find a similarly quiet spot.

Such positions are rare, but she still managed to find one.

That's the corner where the building behind the health clinic turns.

There's a row of trees here, and the flowerbeds are filled with neatly trimmed, fairly tall holly bushes. In the corner, there's also a worn-out chair.

This is usually where music clubs practice, but we came here to avoid disturbing others.

Moreover, the holly bushes in the flower bed were quite tall because they were used to conceal the infirmary, thus blocking her view.

She was very satisfied with this corner.

Every time after school, I would come to this corner and daydream.

—After leaving the library once again, she prepared to head to that secluded corner.

"Yo."

Xia Wuzhao greeted her.

Asakawa Yo didn't even glance at him before preparing to leave.

Xia Wuzhao followed slowly behind her, not saying anything else, just following along leisurely.

Now, it was Asakawa Yo who was a little annoyed.

She didn't want anyone to know about that hidden corner.

He stopped and turned to look at Xia Wuzhao.

With his eyelids lowered, he asked in a gloomy voice, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"It's nothing," Xia Wuzhao said calmly. "I'm just curious about where you're planning to go."

"Lord Natsugiri! Asakawa Yo's emotions haven't fluctuated."

Xiao Ai was giving Xia Wuzhao a hint in her mind.

"Stalker?"

Asakawa Yo's tone was full of annoyance: "So, do you want me to call the police?"

Xia Wuzhao simply looked at Qianchuan Yao without saying a word, just standing quietly.

This is the kind of thing that Asakawa Yo hates the most.

She walked, and Xia Wuzhao followed. She stopped, and Xia Wuzhao stood still.

Asakawa Yo stopped again, her impatience and disgust as thick as a dark cloud: "Can you stop following me? It's really disgusting."
