I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

She then quietly kicked Xia Wuzhao again.

Xia Wuzhao nodded slightly in return.

This was a very subtle agreement, meaning that Natsugiri Kai owed Chiho a favor.

He owed a lot, but Chiho didn't mind.

Occasionally, she likes to use a favor to do something funny.

"Grandma—I'm starving to death."

Chiho complained, rubbing her stomach, "We didn't eat well yesterday. I'm really, really looking forward to lunch today."

The old man was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.

"That's just how old people are, they can be a bit talkative," the old man said with a smile, then told everyone to get ready to eat.

“I don’t think this scar is anything to be ashamed of.”

Asakawa Yo suddenly said that, and she glanced at Xia Wuzhao.

It seemed like there was some aversion, some dislike.

She said to the old man, "I don't need to hide these things, and I don't believe there is such a thing as a flawless technique."

These words were as rigid as iron and as cold as ice.

Just saying it made the atmosphere a little awkward.

But Grandma Chiho took a deep breath and said, "It was I who made a mistake."

As she said this, she was smiling; "The old Chiho didn't have as much courage as you do now."

This undoubtedly touched on Chiho's dark past, but she laughed it off and let it go.

Even though the old man had said that, Asakawa Yo's expression showed no joy.

However, there was no aversion to it.

While Xia Wuzhao was eating, her calf was suddenly kicked.

He subconsciously thought it was Chiho, so he looked towards Chiho.

Chiho chuckled and said, "How about it? I look pretty today, don't I? I'm quite a sight to behold, which makes lunch much more luxurious."

Asahi Aoi glared at Natsugiri Kai, and anyone could tell she was very unhappy.

"It's Asakawa Yo, Lady Natsugiri."

Xiao Ai quickly reminded her, "It was Asakawa Yao who kicked you just now."

Chapter 393 Warm and Beating Happiness in the Palm of My Hand [4k]

The afternoon sun is hotter than at noon, and it feels a bit stuffy just walking through the grass.

It's sudden and somewhat hard to accept.

Xia Wuzhao and Qianchuan Yao stood under a tree, its huge shade falling to the ground, looking at first glance like an irregular sphere.

But upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the shadow was like a spider web, riddled with cracks filled with light.

Neither of them spoke, as if they were playing a childish game where whoever spoke first lost.

Asakawa Yo played with her hair, her long, light green hair twirling between her fingers.

Her eyes were lowered, and her long eyelashes trembled.

The light filtering through the tender leaves flickered three times.

Her patience finally ran out, which shouldn't have happened.

"Can you please stop meddling in other people's business?"

Her emerald eyes stared at Xia Wuzhao, her expression weary and her tone somewhat irritated.

What are you saying?

Xia Wuzhao didn't go to see Asakawa Yao; she simply enjoyed the surrounding scenery.

However, there's nothing particularly interesting about these views.

"Are we going to keep pretending?" she asked listlessly. "I'm starting to hate this way of talking."

"So? What do the things you hate have to do with me?" Xia Wuzhao asked strangely. "You don't actually think I like you, do you?"

"You're a bit narcissistic."

If it were anyone else, they would probably be furious by now.

But Asakawa Yo's expression remained listless, neither showing disgust nor liking.

"How disgusting! Didn't you signal Kirishima to come to the rescue just now?"

The girl's words were full of certainty: "Are you going to deny it, Xia Wuzhao?"

"About this matter."

Xia Wuzhao thought for a moment before saying seriously, "I didn't do this for you, don't flatter yourself. I just hate when the atmosphere gets bad. Grandma Chiho is very kind to us. Besides, we're staying at her house."

"It would be quite embarrassing if we embarrassed that old man. That's why I asked Chiho to help him out."

He spoke with great conviction, and his reasons sounded perfectly legitimate.

However—Xia Wuzhao did not glance at Qianchuan Yao even once.

Asakawa Yo stopped looking at Natsugiri Kai and just kept her head down, stepping on the green grass at her feet.

After a long pause, he finally said, "It's a lie."

"I have never lied to anyone," Xia Wuzhao emphasized calmly.

Asakawa Yo glanced at him, then turned and walked away.

Xia Wuzhao then looked at her: "Since you misunderstood me, aren't you even going to apologize?"

The girl merely let out a mocking laugh, then ignored Xia Wuzhao completely.

"It seems that Asakawa Yo really dislikes you."

Xiao Ai sighed with some worry, "Lord Xia Wu, Qian Chuan Yao is not the same as the girls I've met before."

“Isn’t this obvious?” Xia Wuzhao said. “Who would be the same as anyone else? You always talk about common sense that everyone knows.”

Xiao Ai immediately made a face: "I'm not human, so human common sense isn't common sense to me."

But Xia Wuzhao was too lazy to talk to Xiao Ai about these things, and just walked towards the house.

"Oh, I forgot to tell Lady Natsugiri. Chiho is hiding nearby," Ai hurriedly reminded her.

"Huh? You did this on purpose?"

Xia Wuzhao asked in return.

"How could that be? How could I do such a thing?" Xiao Ai hurriedly defended herself.

Heading towards Chiho, Natsugiri Kai prepared to grab her.

But as soon as she got close, Chiho suddenly popped out of the bushes.

It looks rather cute, with its claws outstretched and menacing.

Looking calmly at Chiho, Natsugiri Kai asked, "What are you doing here?"

"cough cough"

Chiho coughed and combed her hair: "I was just bored, so I came here for a walk."

"Of course—if I hadn't come here, how could I have seen this scene?"

He took a few steps forward, almost touching Xia Wuzhao.

Her breath was as fragrant as orchids, and the scent of her whole body almost enveloped Xia Wuzhao.

"I thought you would back down." She said with a half-smile, her hands behind her back, a mischievous expression on her face.

"Why should I back down?" Xia Wuzhao asked calmly.

"At least look at me when you say things like that," Chiho said with a malicious grin.

Xia Wuzhao had no choice but to turn her gaze away from the distance and calmly look at the girl.

Chiho was probably wearing makeup today; her bright red eyes and pink lips were like peach blossoms.

Perhaps noticing Xia Wuzhao's gaze, she took a half step forward and smiled, "How is it? Does it look good?"

"I don't understand girls' makeup," Xia Wuzhao replied casually.

"How stupid."

Chiho playfully punched Natsumi: "Only after you understand makeup can you compliment girls properly. That way you can make them laugh and then take advantage of them."

"For example, touching her little hand, or looking at the bra strap, etc."

He frowned: "What you're saying seems too far away."

"Ahem, let's get back to the original topic then." Chiho didn't seem to mind: "What were Natsugiri and Asakawa doing just now?"

"It's nothing, we just had a fight."

"Ahem, [I've never lied to anyone], you were saying that just now, but now you're lying to me." Chiho looked distressed, her hand on her forehead; "It's really heartbreaking, Natsugiri."

“It wasn’t a lie to begin with,” Xia Wuzhao emphasized.

"Yes, yes, yes~~~" Chiho teased Natsugiri, as if she had thought of something again.

He chuckled lightly, "However, this is the first time I've seen Xia Wu being called disgusting by a girl."

Xia Wuzhao didn't say anything, but quietly waited for Chiho to continue.

But Chiho whispered in Natsugiri's ear, "So, I'm still the better one~~ Even though I've done so many things, I've never said that to you."

Xia Wuzhao simply looked like she didn't understand, but Chiho didn't care.

She simply stepped aside and followed Xia Wuzhao into the house.

However, just as she was about to get close, Chiho suddenly stopped.

She grabbed Xia Wuzhao's arm.

"What is it?" Xia Wuzhao looked at Qianhui with a puzzled expression.

“Aoi is inside,” Chiho said with a smile. “So, want to see her?”

"What are you looking at?"

"Of course, it's what I just said." Chiho smiled faintly, like a little fox, but she was quite cunning.

Xia Wuzhao shook her head and prepared to leave.

But Chiho forcefully pulled him back: "I need to do someone a favor!"

So Xia Wuzhao stopped.

"Honestly," Chiho complained, "I really suspect you did this on purpose. It's clearly a good thing for you, but you seem so indifferent. Are you playing hard to get?"

But her words were destined to receive no response from Xia Wuzhao.

Chiho smiled nonchalantly and gently pulled down her clothes on her shoulder.

She asked in an ambiguous tone, "Did you see anything?"

“The shoulder is one of the limbs of the human body,” Xia Wuzhao replied casually.

"Heh heh, are you a medical student?" Chiho slapped Natsugiri. "Anything else?"

"Red underwear?" Xia Wuzhao looked at the red bra straps on her shoulders, which were very conspicuous against her fair skin.

Especially when the sunlight falls, it evokes a sense of mystery.

"Hehe, that's right." Chiho pulled her clothes up, smiling seductively, "It's the 'Winning Lingerie,' the same color as my hair and my eyes~~"

She originally intended to seduce Xia Wuzhao, but Xia Wuzhao remained unmoved.

Why would you do something like this?

"Because I feel the competition," she lamented self-pityingly. "I feel like you care more about Asakawa Yo than me, and Aoi spends every day with you. When I think about it, I'm the one who has the least advantage."

"So, I had no choice but to use this method to get your attention."
