I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

She glanced at the hand her daughter was holding Xia Wuzhao's, and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

"I'll go make dinner. You can stay here and have some too."

As she said this, no matter how much Natsume and Asahi refused, Asakawa's mother always insisted on keeping them.

The two had no choice but to stay.

Quietly, with a touch of reluctance, she let go of Xia Wuzhao.

Asakawa Yo expressed her gratitude to Aoi: "If it weren't for you, I might be even more upset today."

Aoi smiled reservedly: "Not at all, your mother really loves you. Even without us, it doesn't matter."

After chatting for a while longer, the two finally began to eat.

Asakawa's mother's cooking was delicious, and Asahi Aoi kept praising it.

They discussed cooking techniques with Asakawa's mother.

As for Asakawa and Natsugiri, the two of them seemed rather quiet.

Perhaps because of what had just happened, Asakawa Yo was unable to speak.

He had no choice but to send a message to Xia Wuzhao on his phone while he was eating.

"I just accidentally grabbed it, so don't overthink it!!!"

She added several more exclamation marks to express her unwavering determination.

Xia Wuzhao glanced at her phone and simply nodded to Qianchuan Yao.

"what happened?"

Asahi asked Natsugiri Kai beside her.

"nothing."

Xia Wuzhao only said that, and Asahi Aoi didn't think much of it because she was very happy today.

Because today's summer mist is different from the past.

Asakawa's mother glanced at her daughter, instinctively covering for her, and then pulled Asahi Aoi aside to talk about menus and such.

It was very late when Asahi Aoi and Natsugiri Kai finally left.

Before leaving, the two thanked Asakawa's mother one last time before heading home.

"Hey."

Asakawa's mother pulled Asakawa Yo, who was about to go upstairs, to sit on the sofa, looking very serious.

"What's wrong, Mom?" Asakawa Yo asked, somewhat confused.

"You—" Asakawa's mother looked at her daughter very seriously: "Do you like Xia Wuzhao?"

Asakawa Yo felt a little embarrassed and tried to break free from her mother's hand.

But in the end, I still gave up.

"I don't know if I like her," Asakawa Yo told her mother. "I just feel happy being with Natsugiri Kai, and there are no constraints."

"That's what liking someone is all about."

Asakawa's mother sighed and said to her daughter, "But Asahi and Natsugiri are lovers now. You can't make a move; at most, you can only be friends."

"Asahi and Natsugiri are not lovers."

Asakawa Yo retorted, "We're just friends, almost lovers, but ultimately not lovers."

Looking at her daughter, Asakawa's mother could only say, "If you really take action, it might ruin our friendship."

"Therefore, we must be cautious."

"Okay, I understand, Mom."

Asakawa Yo had no choice but to agree, and then ran upstairs in a flash.

Asakawa's mother looked at her daughter with a helpless expression.

"You don't have many friends to begin with, so if something like this happens, it will be incredibly difficult to get through. This kind of thing is more painful than anything else."

Asakawa's mother shook her head; she really had no other ideas.

So he had no choice but to keep it in mind, just in case something bad happened in the future, so he would be mentally prepared.

Asakawa Yo ran upstairs and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I went back to my room and locked the door.

She looked at Mizuki and asked, "Are you hungry?"

“I’m not hungry.” Mizuki shook her head.

Asakawa Yo then told Mizuki what her mother had just told her, wanting to hear Mizuki's opinion.

Meiyue shook her head: "I don't know about matters of the heart."

Asakawa Yo could only ponder and remain perplexed.

Chapter 453 A Slight Sting and Ripples in My Heart [4k]

The next day, when Aoi woke up, she still felt slightly dizzy.

It made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Even when she and Xia Wuzhao were washing up in front of the mirror, it was still the same.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

Xia Wuzhao asked Asahi Aoi beside her in a very casual manner.

—Aoi was slightly surprised, because Natsugiri wouldn't normally do something like this.

"No, no." Aoi Asahi shook her head, her hair swaying in the breeze.

After thinking about it carefully, she said, "It's probably because I didn't sleep well last night."

After thinking it over, she felt that this was the only reason.

Perhaps it will be fine in a little while.

After she finished washing up, the dizziness in her head indeed disappeared.

Even Xiao Ai was somewhat surprised by Xia Wuzhao's change.

"Lord Xiawu, have you given up?"

"Give up what?" Xia Wuzhao couldn't help but frown slightly.

"You said before that you didn't want to lose or something," Xiao Ai recalled. "So, are you giving up now?"

“No.” Xia Wuzhao denied it decisively: “This is just one step in the process, just like what I did before.”

"I don't want to lose."

It was said solemnly, with a tone of firm determination.

"Oh." Xiao Ai didn't ask any more questions, but said with some distress, "I've never understood what Lady Xia Wu does. But I've always believed in Lady Xia Wu."

This time, Xia Wuzhao did not answer Xiao Ai.

After Aoi finished washing up, the two of them started making breakfast and bento boxes.

"What do you want to eat for your bento?" Aoi Asahi asked Kai Natsugiri.

"Let's add more meat," Xia Wuzhao thought.

"Ah."

Asahi started getting busy, with Natsugiri Kai assisting her.

A warm current pumped from Aoi's heart and turned into something called happiness on the girl's cheeks.

"I—maybe I've become something to Natsugiri."

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel happy, yet also a little shy.

Sunflower felt a little dizzy all morning, but this was not the same as the dizziness she had before.

And something is surging, causing dizziness.

Having packed their lunches, the two left their home and headed towards school.

The two of them got up very early, so they had plenty of time.

When I passed by Asakawa Yo's house, Asakawa Yo didn't come out. It looked empty and desolate.

"It does feel somewhat different."

Asahi looked at the Asakawa family and sighed slightly.

"I think it's fine," Xia Wuzhao said. "At least I can sleep in."

Aoi Asahi laughed out loud: "I don't think everyone is that sleepy, since school ended quite early."

Xia Wuzhao remained noncommittal, and the two continued walking side by side.

The weather is nice today, not too hot. Although the sun is still blazing, the breeze is refreshing.

It seemed to be carrying a wisp of moisture.

"Is it going to rain soon?" Aoi looked at him with some doubt.

"Who knows?" Xia Wuzhao waved the umbrella in her hand. "But it doesn't matter if it rains, it's just very cool."

“That’s true.” Aoi Asahi nodded.

Perhaps because of the nice weather, Asahi Aoi recounted some interesting anecdotes from her school days.

—Most of them are gossip from girls, and interesting stories they've seen in the library.

While in the library, a classmate bumped into a bookshelf, causing many books to fall down with a clatter, which took Chiharu Tokisaka quite a while to tidy up.

Or perhaps someone is very unlucky and is always being pecked by birds chirping and chattering.

She talked about many interesting things that happened at school, including finding a four-leaf clover in the grass.

The horror stories in the art classroom, and the deserted corners in the school building that could be considered secret hideouts.

He spoke very lightly, one sentence after another.

He mentioned that his cheeks turned red and his cheeks felt numb.

Xia Wuzhao bought two bottles of water from a vending machine near the station and handed one to Asahi Aoi.

"It's so cold—"

With a small gasp, Asahima gripped the bottle of water.

The water bottle was covered with tiny water droplets, and my palm got wet as soon as I took it.

"dislike?"

"No," Aoi shook her head, then smiled again, "I like it very much."

"If we don't drink ice water in the summer, what should we drink?"

She smiled.

She was in a really good mood today and got on the bus to the station near the school.

She happily greeted and chatted with the people around her.

She would never have done something like this before. She would only respond when other people greeted her.

Now she seems a bit more cheerful.

Xia Wuzhao simply watched silently, without making any move.

Seeing Asahi chatting happily with her classmates, the girls noticed that Asahi was different today.

"Asahi-kun? Are you having a good day?"

They all blinked and asked the question.

"Yes, I'm very happy." Aoi Asahi didn't hide it and admitted it directly.

"ah--!!"
