I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

Aoi smiled helplessly and stopped asking about it. Instead, she started talking about her feelings when she was shooting arrows before.

"It always feels so magical," she said with a smile. "After shooting arrows, I always feel refreshed and invigorated. And my mood is also much calmer."

"Most exercises have this effect."

Natsugiri Kai answered, a response that left Asahi Aoi slightly disappointed.

"I'm going to take a shower."

After standing up, he smiled at Xia Wuzhao before walking towards the room.

Now, Xia Wuzhao was the only one left in the empty hall.

However, Xia Wuzhao didn't care. She simply sat on the edge of the wooden floor, stepping on the blue and cool stepping stones.

"Lord Natsugiri, I think it's better not to tell Asahi that you and Asakawa had a fight," Ai reminded her. "Because it might have some negative impact on Asahi."

"So what?" Xia Wuzhao retorted, "If doing anything under the guise of 'for your own good' is acceptable, then I find that kind of thing disgusting."

"Your thinking is really strange, Lady Natsugiri," Ai muttered. "Besides, didn't you just not tell Asahi the specifics?"

“Because Asahi didn’t press the issue,” Natsumi Kai said calmly. “If she had continued to ask, I would have told her everything.”

"It is indeed a strange idea, Lady Natsugiri." Xiao Ai also said helplessly, "However, it seems that the demonic aura in Asakawa Yo's heart was leaked out for a moment just now."

What are your plans?

“Do nothing.” Xia Wuzhao said calmly, “Qianchuan Yao knows what she should do. I don’t need to interfere. That would be quite annoying.”

Hearing Xia Wuzhao say that, Xiao Ai could only remind her, "Doing it this way will take a lot of time."

Xia Wuzhao didn't say anything, which was taken as tacit agreement.

In the countryside, perhaps it's just a misperception.

The sun was noticeably brighter, its brilliant light bathing everything in a warm glow.

The trees along the road cast large shadows, and many birds hopped around on the grass, looking very lively.

"It's nice to have this kind of free time."

Xia Wuzhao thought so.

Asakawa Yo thought the same thing. After leaving the house, she casually found a sunny tree to sit under.

The surrounding grass is lush, and sitting on it feels like sitting on a carpet.

She smiled slightly.

She gently brushed aside her hair and squinted at the sun in the sky. The ethereal, intense light fell on her delicate face, making her skin seem to glow.

She reached out and touched the scar on her right eye. She didn't look ugly or sad because of it.

On the contrary, it was very calm.

Because she had already accepted the scar.

It basks quietly in the sun, seemingly blending into the surrounding low shrubs.

"That's enough, that's all."

Asakawa Yo doesn't feel much aversion or disgust towards her current life.

Rather than persisting, "going with the flow" would be a more apt description.

"But there's nothing wrong with going with the flow."

With that thought in mind, she closed her eyes, preparing to rest and relax. She lay down on the grass, letting the sunlight fall on her.

The tender green strands of hair flowed into the lush green grass, seemingly about to blend into one.

However, the words I just said kept repeating in my mind.

It swept away her drowsiness.

He frowned so deeply that it seemed he was going to break his brow.

His jaw was clenched so tightly it looked like he was going to crush his teeth.

"How shameful!"

"How could I say such a thing? How could I do something so meddlesome?"

She didn't understand, nor did she comprehend.

All I could do was close my eyes tightly and grit my teeth.

—It's as if, having done this, nothing ever happened.

"Just seeing that kind of thing makes me feel disgusted."

"It's too fake, too pretentious."

"But even so, what does it have to do with me?"

She kept asking herself these questions, but she couldn't find any answers no matter what she did.

So, all he could do was sigh softly.

"Let's go sunbathe instead."

As Asakawa Yo said this, she closed her eyes again. This time, she forced herself not to think about what she had done before, nor about the things she had done in the past.

It's lunchtime.

After taking a shower, Asahi went to check on the kitchen before reminding Natsume.

The place where we ate was also here.

The maids brought out a low, long table so that people could sit and eat. And being able to enjoy the view while eating was quite nice.

"I'll go find Asakawa Yo," Xia Wuzhao said.

"Why don't we just make a phone call?" Asahi Aoi suggested. "Going out to search would be too much trouble, and it would be very difficult to find them anyway."

However, Xia Wuzhao said, "It seems we don't have her phone number."

Aoi Asahi was speechless and had no choice but to agree to let Natsugiri Kai go find Asakawa Yo.

After glancing at Aoi Asahi, Natsugiri Kai said, "How about we go together?"

"Eh?"

Asahi Aoi was surprised by Natsugiri Kai's words, and she was somewhat at a loss for words.

She smoothed her hair, shook her head, and smiled, "You go, Xia Wu."

Without saying anything more, Xia Wuzhao left.

The girl sat at the long table, looking somewhat downcast.

Hello hello~~~

Chiho wrapped her arms around Asahi Aoi's neck and said intimately, "What's wrong? Who made Asahi angry again?"

Aoi patted her arm: "I'm about to run out of breath."

Chiho then released her arm and sat down next to Asahi Aoi with a smile.

Feeling a little awkward under Chiho's gaze, Asahi Aoi frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

"There are just some problems."

"what?"

"Just now, you were clearly worried about Natsugiri and Asakawa, weren't you?" Chiho bluntly pointed out what Asahi Aoi had been worried about.

Aoi neither denied nor admitted it.

He simply said, "What danger could Natsugiri and Asakawa possibly face here?"

"Hmph." Chiho simply smiled, not answering the question either: "Since you're worried, why did you refuse when Natsume invited you earlier?"

"I'll go check if the food is ready."

Aoi stood up and walked towards the kitchen. Chiho didn't stop her, but just smiled and watched Aoi's retreating figure.

After she left, Chiho lay expressionless on the shiny floor.

No one knows what she's thinking.

It's lunchtime.

Xia Wuzhao looked at Qianchuan Yao lying on the grass and slowly reminded her.

Even before he arrived here, he had seen Asakawa Yo lying here from afar. However, she kept tossing and turning, seemingly worried about something.

However, after Xia Wuzhao reminded her, Qianchuan Yao did not show any emotional fluctuation.

He stood up calmly, brushed the grass off his clothes, and walked calmly toward the house.

Xia Wuzhao didn't say anything, but slowly followed behind Qianchuan Yao, occasionally glancing at the surroundings.

Gradually, without realizing it, Asakawa Yo's pace slowed down.

Xia Wuzhao, who was originally walking behind, ended up walking in front of Qianchuan Yao.

But Xia Wuzhao remained calm and observed her surroundings.

He seems like a naturalist.

"What exactly is he doing?"

Asakawa Yo was puzzled by Xia Wuzhao's behavior, not because of Xia Wuzhao's looking around, but because of something deeper.

"He doesn't seem to have any ulterior motive?"

This thought popped into Asakawa Yo's mind, but it also aroused deep doubts within her.

"Xia Wuzhao's actions all seem to have a purpose. But how could she not have one? Why do I subconsciously feel this way?"

Asakawa Yo frowned, unable to understand.

So she stopped thinking about these things.

—Because if you keep searching for things you can't understand.

Isn't that just asking for trouble?

The two returned to the house one after the other, where cushions had already been placed near the long table, and lunch was laid out on the table.

Because it's a separate-serving system, the portion size of each dish is very small.

Moreover, the style is somewhat outdated.

It was nothing more than some tofu, fried fish, and some bright green mixed vegetables.

But Xia Wuzhao wasn't picky; she simply sat down at the long table.

"I thought you were lost somewhere, so I was going to send the maid to look for you."

Grandma Chiho smiled warmly.

Xia Wuzhao just smiled apologetically: "Because the scenery at noon was quite nice, it took a little longer than expected."

The old man just chuckled and didn't seem to mind.

She then looked at Asakawa Yo: "Are you having fun here?"

Asakawa Yo also just smiled, but compared to Natsumi Kuri, she seemed more indifferent and more indifferent.

As her light green hair swayed, the scar on Asakawa Yo's right eye was revealed.

The old man was taken aback, and a look of pity appeared on his face.

"How pitiful."

She said, "It's really awful for a cute girl like you to have such a scar. Asakawa-san? Have you considered cosmetic surgery? Maybe it can remove this scar. If you have financial problems, the Kirishima family can help you."

Xia Wuzhao glanced at the old man, then at Qianchuan Yao.

He said nothing, just waited quietly.

Asakawa Yo simply shook her head: "No need."

But perhaps because the old woman was too soft-hearted, she was about to say something more.

Xia Wuzhao glanced at Qianhui, who smiled slightly with her lips pursed.
