"Oh? Who is it?"

Chiho's eyes shone.

"I greeted Asakawa Yo's mother," Xia Wuzhao said.

"Hehe." Chiho couldn't help but laugh; "Asakawa Yo's mother, you can't really call her a girl, can you? She's already an old auntie. If she's a girl, then what are we? Girls in the teething stage?"

She chuckled; "Let me tell you another one."

"That must have been a long time ago."

Xia Wuzhao thought to herself, "I can't remember clearly anymore."

Who is that?

Chiho smiled strangely.

"The convenience store clerk," Xia Wuzhao said expressionlessly, "is asking—do you have membership points cards?"

"Haha." Chiho laughed mischievously. "I knew it! You haven't chatted with any other girls."

She said, "If you hadn't met us, Xia Wu, you probably wouldn't have been able to say a single word to a girl for a whole year."

"Of course—except for convenience store clerks."

"There's nothing wrong with this, is there?" Xia Wuzhao didn't care, or perhaps it wouldn't matter even if she did.

“That’s the kind of thinking that makes you completely clueless about how to talk to girls,” Chiho said. “That’s why you always say things that are annoying.”

"Oh."

Xia Wuzhao appeared somewhat calm.

“But I don’t dislike it.” Chiho smiled faintly, her expression meaningful.

Xia Wuzhao neither confirmed nor denied this.

"However, Xia Wu has really changed a lot."

Chiho commented on the matter: "Today, he was initiating conversations and trying to find topics to talk about. I thought Natsume wanted to practice his conversation skills with girls."

"Sometimes I do find it troublesome to make changes. It's really annoying, so I was quite happy to hear your answer just now, Xiawu."

As she said this, she smiled.

"However, Xia Wu, haven't you changed too much? There's a kind of unfamiliar fear about you. It's subtle, and a little scary."

Chiho mumbled those words.

I think so too.

Asakawa Yo, who had walked over without anyone noticing, said naturally, "I think the current Natsugiri is not as good as the Natsugiri of the past."

"Ok?"

Chiho looked at Asakawa Yo with a strange expression.

"Wasn't it you who changed Xia Wuzhao? How come you don't like the current Xia Wuzhao now?"

She found it strange: "Saying something like that is a bit too much."

“Because it’s a fact,” Asakawa Yo said bluntly. “A fact is a fact, and it has nothing to do with whether it’s excessive or not. Because I just feel that the current Xia Wuzhao is not as good as the Xia Wuzhao of the past.”

She seemed overly stubborn.

Despite her doubts, Chiho was secretly smiling to herself.

Because, finally, I can rest easy.

She chatted happily with Asakawa Yo, seemingly sharing a common enemy.

Xia Wuzhao simply walked ahead.

"The weather is so nice today."

He thought so.

Chapter 464 The Mirror of Fortune and Misfortune

Back in the clubroom, the two continued to chatter about Xia Wuzhao's sudden change.

Asakawa Yo thought the change was probably due to the season.

Chiho, however, suggested that perhaps she had been deceived by someone.

They talked and talked, but it didn't seem like they were really talking.

It sounded like a joke.

Xia Wuzhao simply watched them, turning the pages of her book.

What do you think?

Chiho and Asakawa Yo looked at Natsugiri Kai and asked this question.

"I haven't changed at all," Xia Wuzhao said calmly. "It's just that your perception is wrong."

Xia Wuzhao spoke lightly, but neither Chiho nor Asakawa Yo believed her.

They actually became even more enthusiastic in their discussion, because the less Xia Wuzhao explained, the more curious they became.

—Because it was just too abnormal.

Who will ultimately change Xia Wuzhao?

This question aroused Chiho's deep desire to explore it.

"I've heard that if a boy changes, it's definitely because he's in a relationship. Is Xia Wu dating someone else?"

Chiho feigned surprise, then looked at him with a smile: "Are you even prettier than us?"

These words made Xia Wuzhao even less inclined to reply.

Because it's really unnecessary.

He turned the pages of the book, listening to Chiho and Asakawa Yo's discussion.

The two discussed for a long time, going from one possibility to another. While talking, they also had to keep an eye on Xia Wuzhao's reaction.

If Xia Wuzhao suddenly showed a different expression, they would cheer.

This would prove that you might be right.

Xia Wuzhao always maintained that indifferent, uncaring demeanor, which gradually diminished their interest, and they began to feel bored again.

"By the way, will Natsugiri and Asahi go to the same university?"

Chiho naturally brought up the topic, since the two of them were still students, and students who were about to take exams.

Even the most indifferent person will feel nervous at this time.

"will not."

Xia Wuzhao said, "Because Asahi already has a school she likes, while I haven't decided yet. Maybe I'll just look for a school with a nice view and a comfortable environment."

"What kind of strange standard is this?"

Asakawa Yo didn't quite understand.

Chiho rested her chin on her hand, her crimson eyes looking at Natsugiri Kai: "I've heard that loving couples try their best to attend the same university. If you're willing, then Asahi Aoi might give up the university she's currently choosing."

Her tone was subtle, like a bubbly soda.

Xia Wuzhao glanced at her; "This idea is stupid, whether it's the person who comes up with it or the person who actually does it."

"I think it's stupid too."

Asakawa Yo said, "There is nothing in the world more stupid than this."

"Why? I think it's great."

Chiho wore a half-smile as she fiddled with the ends of her hair.

“Because nothing in the world is more important than yourself,” Xia Wuzhao said. “Nothing.”

"Really?" Chiho asked. "Even with lovers?"

"Yes, even lovers."

Xia Wuzhao said this with an extremely certain tone.

"But unfortunately, I've seen a fool like that before. He got himself all injured for the sake of others."

Chiho tapped on the table.

"Who?" Asakawa Yo asked with some curiosity, her tone tinged with amusement. "Do such people really exist in the world?"

"Yes, of course we have them."

Chiho smiled and said, "You'll see her later."

"What about Xia Wu? What do you think?" she asked Xia Wu again.

"Oh, well, that kind of guy is really incredibly stupid," Xia Wuzhao said expressionlessly.

Chiho smiled and then said, "If it were me, I wouldn't do something so stupid."

"Then you're an idiot too."

Xia Wuzhao said this.

For no apparent reason, a sense of conflict was brewing, and the air thick with tension.

Asakawa Yo felt confused, as if there were many, many things she didn't know.

She was curious, but she forced herself not to investigate.

"What exactly is going on with you guys?"

Asakawa Yo said those words.

"It's nothing," Chiho said, as if it were perfectly normal. "You're making a fuss over nothing."

"Me? Making a fuss over nothing?"

Asakawa Yo clicked her tongue in amazement, feeling an urge to leave right now.

She was very unhappy.

Xia Wuzhao wasn't necessarily happy; it was only evident from her expression.

"Oh dear, it seems I've upset a lot of people."

She smiled innocently.

"You're being a bit sarcastic," Asakawa Yo said bluntly. "I hate that kind of thing. If you have something to complain about, just say it."

Chiho finally became helpless and glanced at Asakawa Yo.

"That's why you don't have any friends."

“I don’t want friends.” Asakawa Yo said matter-of-factly, “Friends are just a burden. They only make you unhappy and are a flaw you bring upon yourself.”

Chiho looked at Asakawa Yo and said with a half-smile, "Then I think the problem can be solved as long as you shut up."

Asakawa Yo wanted to argue, but looking at Chiho's eyes...

She instinctively felt guilty again.

—Because Chiho's eyes carried a hint of danger, and a strange sense of oppression.

This oppressive feeling was like the sharp teeth of a ferocious beast, which made Asakawa Yo shut up immediately.

But as soon as she shut up, she became annoyed with her own weakness.

“Well then, let’s continue our conversation.” Chiho looked at Natsugiri Kai: “Even if you think I’m an idiot, that’s fine, but I will stick to my own ideas.”

"Oh, then you don't need to let me know about such things," Xia Wuzhao said. "It will only add a lot of trouble for me for no reason."

So, you care about me a lot?

Chiho's eyes were sparkling; she felt she had caught Natsumi in a compromising situation.

Asakawa Yo felt that she had learned a certain skill.

"Heh." He just chuckled coldly and didn't answer.

The girl smiled, taking it as Xia Wuzhao's admission.
