I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

Because there is no reason to refuse.

—But Chiho suddenly said seriously, "It can be very hurtful to keep rejecting a girl."

At this moment, Chiho seemed to be smiling faintly. But this smile didn't seem to convey much genuine emotion.

Instead, it carries an inexplicable sense of heaviness.

"Where to go?"

Xia Wuzhao changed her mind.

"Anywhere is fine," Chiho said; "As long as we go out together."

When she and he left the classroom, Asakawa Yo had already found Tokisaka Chiharu.

Chiharu Tokisaka had a lot of trouble dealing with Yo Asakawa; she wasn't very good at handling Yo Asakawa.

"What's the matter?"

She stood in the corridor and asked Asakawa Yo.

"I want to ask about part-time jobs."

"Working?"

Chiharu Tokisaka felt a moment of disorientation; she felt as if she had forgotten something.

"what happened?"

Asakawa Yo stared curiously at the dazed Tokisaka Chiharu.

"nothing."

Shaking her head, Chiharu Tokisaka said in a tone that was half self-deprecating and half joking, "I have indeed worked many jobs, but if I could find a job that I really liked, I wouldn't be here as a librarian."

"I see." Asakawa Yo looked extremely disappointed. "Really not?"

"Yes, really not." Chiharu Tokisaka shattered Yo Asakawa's illusion.

Chapter 433 A Pure White and Exquisite Robe [4k]

I can't quite describe the feeling.

I just felt that the sky suddenly darkened.

Then, a heavy burden, so heavy it was suffocating, weighed on their shoulders.

Immediately, it seemed as if it was about to be crushed.

"Are you alright, classmate?" Chiharu Tokisaka looked at Yo Asakawa, whose face had suddenly turned very pale, with a strange expression. "Should we go to the school clinic?"

"no need."

Asakawa Yo shook her head, thanked him, and prepared to leave.

Chiharu Tokisaka hesitated for a moment, then called out to Yo Asakawa.

"Why don't you go to Kirishima Chiho? If she wanted to, she could easily find a job."

Asakawa Yo paused for a moment before saying, "Tokisaka-senpai and Chiho's relationship used to be pretty good, right? Why didn't Tokisaka-senpai ask her for a job before?"

"My relationship with them wasn't very good; we were just strangers."

"Oh." Asakawa Yo turned her head to the side, thought carefully for a moment, and then said, "The reason I'm not going is simple: I'm not a beggar."

Just as Chiharu Tokisaka was about to say something, Yuka suddenly appeared from the side.

She smiled at Asakawa Yo and Tokisaka Chiharu: "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing," Chiharu Tokisaka shook her head.

Yuka didn't seem to care. Instead, she said, "Are we going to the library again today? Can't you come out and play with us?"

Chiharu Tokisaka smiled awkwardly and could only shake her head.

She patted Chiharu Tokisaka on the shoulder and said irritably, "Then you'd better hurry up and go, lest you be late."

—And so, after Chiharu Tokisaka left, Yuka's face changed completely in an instant.

I was very impatient and very annoyed.

She crossed her arms, fiddling with a strand of hair, and said with a slightly condescending tone, "Could you please stop coming to see Chiharu?"

Asakawa Yo said those words without any politeness, which made her somewhat puzzled.

He frowned at Yuka and asked, "What did you say?"

“I said—can you please stop coming to see Tokisaka?” Yuka repeated herself, “Getting involved with you guys will bring you bad luck.”

"What do you mean by saying that getting involved with us will bring bad luck?"

Asakawa Yo almost laughed in anger. She looked up at Yuka and said, "Who are you? And what right do you have to say such things?"

"I am Tokisaka's friend."

"Oh? So what?" Asakawa Yo retorted without any politeness, "Even if you really are Tokisaka-senpai's friend, can you just say such things here so easily?"

Yuka was a little annoyed: "You don't understand anything at all."

What do I need to know?

Asakawa Yo retorted, as if she were deliberately going against Yuka.

Yuka glanced at her before saying, "In the past, Tokisaka, Asahi Aoi, and Natsugiri Kai had a very good relationship. They helped Tokisaka a lot, but everything changed later."

“Natsugiri Kai did something really outrageous, which caused Tokisaka Chiharu to be in a daze for a while. Natsugiri Kai seemed like a fool, never realizing that Tokisaka Chiharu liked him.”

"Or maybe they're just pretending to be stupid, but I really hate people like that."

Yuka frowned and said with obvious disgust, "If you don't want to accept it, then you might as well just refuse."

"However, Xia Wuzhao did not do that; he chose a very cowardly approach. That's what I dislike about him."

“She has finally changed since the New Year. She is no longer as gloomy as before, and I didn’t care why.”

"That's always a good thing, isn't it?"

"Because Tokisaka is going to take the college entrance exam, and her family is in dire straits, this is her only hope."

Yuka looked at Asakawa Yo and said, "So, don't come looking for her anymore."

Asakawa Yo was silent for a moment before saying, "So what? What does this have to do with me? Do you think you can look down on me and berate me because of these reasons?"

"What you're saying is of no use to me."

After saying these words, she turned to the stunned Yuka and said, "I'm sorry, I won't come looking for Tokisaka-senpai again, but I don't think what you said is right."

"I didn't make up my mind because of what you said."

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Yuka in silence.

When Asakawa Yo reached the stairs, she finally showed a tired expression.

"What kind of mess is this?"

Complaining and sighing, she walked towards the shoe cabinet.

I need to go home early today and practice hiding. That way, even if Mom finds me, I'll have an excuse.

With that thought in mind, she went downstairs.

Chiharu Tokisaka was standing by the shoe cabinet.

Upon seeing Asakawa Yo, she waved happily.

"Here, here!"

Asakawa Yo hesitated for a moment before walking over: "What's wrong?"

"I've compiled my work location and salary information, along with my contact details, and sent them to you."

Chiharu Tokisaka smiled energetically.

After exchanging contact information, Chiharu Tokisaka sent a long string of text messages to Yo Asakawa.

After thanking her again, Asakawa Yo left the school.

She walked up the slope, looking at the sky.

"Tokisaka-senpai is actually a really good person."

But when she thought of the girl named Yuka, Asakawa Yo clicked her tongue in disbelief.

"That girl is really annoying. But she'd probably be a good friend."

With these troubles weighing on my mind, I returned home filled with sorrow.

They did not encounter Xia Wuzhao along the way.

Not knowing where he had gone, Asakawa Yo sat on the train, suddenly feeling a little lost.

"In the past, I would always run into Xia Wuzhao. Although Xia Wuzhao was annoying and troublesome, if I didn't run into him, I always felt like I had nothing to do and was a little bit bored."

Asakawa Yo could only use "bored" to describe her current feelings.

—This isn’t entirely accurate, but she felt it was the best word.

Because if we don't use that word, then we can only use—loneliness.

The word "loneliness" is not a good word; it almost sounds like it implies that the two people have some kind of relationship.

Asakawa Yo subconsciously resisted.

However, when she turned to look out the window, she saw her own face reflected in the windowpane.

"I—I've become weak after all."

She was aware of it, but she didn't want to think about it.

I can only try to distract myself from thinking about this by doing other things.

"Why does Tokisaka say he's not familiar with Natsugiri, but Yuka says he's very familiar with her and that he used to like her?"

Asakawa Yo recalled the differences between Yuka and Tokisaka's words, and realized that it was definitely not because Tokisaka was covering something up.

"When Tokisaka-senpai talked about Natsugiri Kai, his expression was genuinely blank; there wasn't much of a personal relationship between them."

"Kayuka's description of Tokisaka-senpai and Natsugiri is just like that of a couple who have been through countless things together."

"What exactly happened?"

She pondered this, but even after arriving home, she couldn't remember why.

"We have no choice but to continue the investigation."

After muttering this, she entered the house and went up to the second floor, only to find that no one was in her room.

But Mizuki's box and everything else are still here.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Meiyue: Where are you?

Meiyue replied almost immediately: "I'm in the mall outside."

Are you coming back now?

Asakawa Yo originally wanted to bring Mizuki back directly, but she was worried that her tone might be too harsh and might offend Mizuki.

So, all I could send was this weak message.

But Mizuki kindly replied: She'll be back soon.

Incidentally, he also sent a smiley face.

Asakawa Yo's unease subsided a little.

Lying in bed, she hugged her pillow and sighed softly, "I've really gotten myself into a lot of trouble."

Sighing, she thought of Xia Wuzhao next door.

If Meiyue could find a job, that would be ideal. If Xia Wuzhao was willing to let Meiyue stay at his house, that would be a neutral outcome.

But letting Mizuki live in his own home would be the worst option.

She sighed softly again: "I wonder what Xiawu did today. Did she go out with Qianhui again?"

Chiho and Natsugiri Kai were indeed out having fun.

Or rather, these two people are on a date.
