I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

However, they seem too clumsy, and the topics they come up with usually seem very awkward.

It's too blunt, so blunt that the other person can realize it.

If Aoi Asahi and Chiho Kirishima both confessed their feelings to you at the same time, who would you choose?

She asked this question with great interest.

"I don't know." Xia Wuzhao didn't hide anything this time, but the answer she gave was somewhat disappointing.

"That's true, both Aoi Asahi and Chiho Kirishima. They are both very good girls, and very outstanding girls."

Asakawa Yo pondered, "Kirishima Chiho comes from a very good family; she's the type of a well-bred young lady. Asahi Aoi, on the other hand, is the type who's very dependent on others; she's the type of a virtuous wife and loving mother."

"It's a difficult choice for anyone."

Xia Wuzhao glanced at her but ignored her.

But Asakawa Yo seemed to be very confident: "However, I think you will choose Chiho."

"Why?" Xia Wuzhao closed the bento box she had just finished eating.

"Because, didn't you two go out and kiss before? After the second period."

Asakawa Yo spoke casually.

"You must have misread it," Xia Wuzhao replied casually.

“During class, I noticed that Kirishima Chiho’s lipstick was missing a bit.”

"Perhaps Aoi won't notice or think about it in that way. But I will pay attention to every single detail."

Asakawa Yo was somewhat smug.

"If you're just speculating based on your own imagination, and you're so sure of it, why don't you just become a witch?"

Xia Wuzhao mocked her, "Perhaps, you could make a lot of money that way."

As Asakawa Yo tapped her fingers on the table, the smugness on her face slowly vanished.

Instead, dissatisfaction arose.

"There's only one reason I'm making this assumption: it seems like Asahi Aoi is relying on you too much right now."

Her long, light green hair was as smooth as the finest silk, and her eyes were filled with certainty.

"Therefore, you would never choose Aoi."

She spoke with absolute certainty, as if she were a witch who could see into the future.

"You're wrong." Xia Wuzhao didn't look at Qianchuan Yao, but instead looked out the window.

The rain outside got heavier, and a lot of the rainwater seeped into the house through the gaps that had been opened earlier.

On the windowsill, much of the white tarpaulin was soaked by the rain and turned a deep, dark color.

"You keep talking about choices, choices and stuff like that. It's like you're playing a game. Don't you find that a little ridiculous?"

Xia Wuzhao said calmly, "I probably won't choose either one."

"You're not choosing either of them?" Asakawa Yo wasn't provoked. Instead, she looked at Xia Wuzhao thoughtfully: "It seems you don't want to give up either of them."

"In other words, you want both?"

She spoke casually, as if the two were friends.

But in the end, the two were still just strangers. Xia Wuzhao didn't want to answer the question anymore, so she ignored it and went out to wash her lunchbox.

Asakawa Yo was taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.

"It's not surprising that Xia Wuzhao would do something like this."

She stood up and closed the window to prevent the rainwater from easily seeping in and wetting the area.

However, with Xia Wuzhao gone, the place became too quiet.

Even though the rain was pounding against the glass outside the window, Asakawa Yo still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"—This is so lonely."

With her cheeks puffed out and her hands supporting her chin, she puffed out her cheeks.

She looked unsteady, as if she were about to fall asleep at any moment.

"Normally, I never felt anything was wrong, nor did I feel any loneliness or unease."

"How did things turn out like this?"

Deep in thought, the nerves in my brain felt like rusted wires; the slightest movement would cause them to crackle and crumble with red rust.

"It's probably all Xia Wuzhao's fault."

Unable to hold back, she let out a soft sigh and slumped onto the table.

"Lord Natsugiri, today's progress is quite good."

Xiao Ai said happily, "I can feel it, Asakawa Yo might already have feelings for you."

Are you sure?

Xia Wuzhao's question made Xiao Ai somewhat skeptical.

I was very distressed, and even somewhat insecure.

Finally, she encouraged herself, saying, "Yes! I'm sure of it, she definitely has different feelings for you, Lord Xiawu."

"understood."

"Huh? Is this all you're going to do, Lady Natsugiri?" Xiao Ai exclaimed. "Shouldn't you be more proactive?"

"unnecessary."

After saying this, Xia Wuzhao carried the washed lunchbox back to the department office and placed it on the table by the window.

Xiao Ai was somewhat discouraged and sullen.

Asakawa lay listlessly on the table, looking utterly exhausted.

Her long hair almost completely covered her face, making it impossible to see her expression.

Xia Wuzhao tapped on the table, startling Qianchuan Yao, who sat up abruptly.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing," she said calmly. "It's just that class is about to start, so I need to lock the door."

"is it?"

Asakawa Yo yawned and looked at Natsume Kyou thoughtfully.

"I do not believe."

But Xia Wuzhao's expression remained unchanged, so Qianchuan Yao could only stand up and walk towards the door.

She also placed her lunchbox on the table, showing no desire to take it when she left.

Xia Wuzhao was too lazy to remind him, so she simply left the department room and locked the door.

The two walked towards the classroom, occasionally glancing outside to see that the downpour had lessened somewhat.

The humidity in the air, however, was accumulating little by little.

Do you think other people might misunderstand us?

Asakawa Yo fiddled with the ends of her hair, looking at Natsume Kai in front of her.

"Why don't you just ask those people?" Xia Wuzhao said something that Qianchuan Yao would never do.

Chapter 422 The Clever Fox Who Sows Discord

"The rain is about to stop."

Asakawa Yo turned her head to look at the sky outside, and the torrential rain that had been pouring down had completely disappeared.

The thick, accumulated dark clouds vanished completely, like burning cotton.

The sunlight once again pierced through the clouds and fell upon the earth.

The puddles on the ground reflected brilliant colors, which was very beautiful.

But Asakawa Yo squinted and said, "It's really dazzling."

The once deserted corridor was now filled with students.

Yes, some people seem to be cheering.

"How boring. It's just that the sun is out. What's there to cheer about?"

She said this to Xia Wuzhao.

The corridor, which originally only had two people, now had so many more.

Subconsciously, she hesitated and slowed her pace.

"How annoying."

Asakawa Yo wanted to fiddle with her hair a few times, but after raising her hand, she let it fall weakly.

"I don't like rain."

He walked ahead, speaking casually.

Upon hearing what Xia Wuzhao said, Qianchuan Yao strangely smiled.

These words clearly did not reflect her true feelings.

However, she didn't say anything more.

As we were almost at the classroom, the crowd in the corridor resembled pesky algae, vying for oxygen.

This made Asakawa Yo feel uncomfortable.

"If there were no one, that would be good."

She thought so.

Xia Wuzhao entered the classroom first, and it wasn't until he had been sitting in his seat for a while that he finally saw Qianchuan Yao return to the classroom.

Now, it's almost time for class to start.

Chiho and Aoi seemed to be chatting about something rather uninteresting.

She yawned, looking extremely tired.

When the teacher arrived, she simply lay down on the table and fell asleep.

The teacher was quite helpless, but didn't do anything about it, pretending not to see it.

A short while later, Xia Wuzhao's phone vibrated inexplicably.

He took out his phone and saw that it was a message from Chiho.

"Were you doing something you couldn't tell anyone about with Asakawa Yo just now?"

He then added a sarcastic smiley face.

Xia Wuzhao copied the smiley face and sent it to Qianhui exactly as it was.

Chiho immediately replied with an angry red face.

Xia Wuzhao pretended not to see it and put the phone back on the desk.

This time, Chiho didn't bother him again; instead, she slept peacefully.

Xia Wuzhao, on the other hand, felt somewhat uncomfortable, but she didn't ask.

—The classes were so boring it was almost unbelievable, and many students looked like they were being tortured.

But Aoi works very hard; she is almost always able to stay focused.

This is truly astonishing.

"It looks like Aoi will definitely go to a good university."

Xiao Ai commented, "Their determination is truly rare. Who would have thought that Aoi in the small town wasn't like this?"

Xia Wuzhao ignored Xiao Ai.

Because that's usually how it is. Xiao Ai is always chattering away, commenting on this and that.
