Her grades are steadily improving.

It's an enviable picture of happiness.

Xia Wuzhao thought of Qianhui again, but he didn't know whether Qianhui was happy now.

All I know is that she's very busy every day.

—As for Asakawa Yo, Natsugiri Kai only recalled for a moment before giving a somewhat abrupt, relieved smile.

Instead of bothering Aoi again, he found a spot where he could see her and sat down.

"If we don't go find Aoi, she'll stay for a very, very long time."

Xiao Ai gave a hint.

"Then let's stay for a very, very long time."

I told Xiao Ai this very calmly.

"I really can't understand it," Xiao Ai complained. "I always feel that Lord Xiawu's attitude is as unpredictable as the weather."

"It won't happen again."

"Are you really not going to?" Xiao Ai was getting a little anxious. She said cautiously, "Actually, I don't think Xia Wu's change is a bad thing. At least, she's more willing to chat with me now. She's not as dull as before; at least she's willing to say something."

"So there's nothing wrong with change."

Xia Wuzhao simply smiled and said, "When a pillar starts making noise, that's when it's going to collapse."

After saying that, he said nothing more.

Xiao Ai sighed and finally shut up, but she still felt it was a pity.

The sunflower, bent over her desk studying, possesses a unique charm that makes one reluctant to disturb her. Occasionally, a strand of hair will slip from her side and fall onto the table.

She would use her fingers to pry it open and tuck it behind her ear.

Listening to the rain and just watching it makes me feel at ease.

—Asahi was studying peacefully and wasn't surprised when it rained.

Just like usual, there were not many worries.

—I just felt a little uncomfortable today, as if someone was watching me.

Every time she looked up, that strange feeling disappeared.

This is something that has never happened before, something that has never occurred before.

It made her very unhappy.

"I think I'll go home first today."

She said that.

While studying is important to me, safety is even more important to Asahi.

She felt a little unwell today, so she decided to go straight home.

There's no need to stay here any longer.

As she tidied up her books, she once again felt someone watching her.

This time, she suddenly looked up.

They immediately pinpointed the source of that gaze.

"So it's Natsugiri."

She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Carrying her schoolbag, she walked towards Xia Wuzhao, then couldn't help but jog a little.

Loafers clicked and clacked on the floor.

She smiled apologetically at the people around her who had been disturbed, and stopped in front of Xia Wuzhao.

He was slightly out of breath.

"Today, why today?"

"Because it's raining," Xia Wuzhao pointed outside.

The rain outside continued to fall, occasionally seeping in through the cracks in the door and wetting a large area of ​​the floor near the entrance.

Chiharu Tokisaka was quite annoyed and had to deal with it every now and then.

He didn't say much, but Aoi understood that it was because Xia Wuzhao was afraid of getting wet that she came.

"If you were to ask him, he would probably avoid the question."

After thinking about it carefully, Aoi changed the subject; "That really startled me."

"What's wrong?" Xia Wuzhao opened her umbrella and walked out the door with Asahi Aoi.

Rain pattered against the umbrella, and Asahi moved closer to Natsugiri Kai to avoid getting her clothes wet.

—But perhaps the raindrops were too big, so when they hit the puddles, they splashed onto Asahima's smooth calves.

"Because I'm a little scared."

Aoi Asahi said, "Normally no one is watching me, but today I suddenly felt someone watching me. It scared me a little, so I decided to leave early."

"However, I was prepared!"

As if showing off, she pulled a pair of scissors out of her schoolbag.

These scissors look like ordinary scissors that can't cut normally, but they can still be lethal.

"That's amazing."

Xia Wuzhao said those words.

"I knew you'd say that," Aoi Asahi said with a smile, stroking her hair. "But usually, shouldn't you come around six o'clock?"

"Probably because I was a bit bored today."

As Xia Wuzhao said this, she asked, "How about eating out today? Cooking on a rainy day is always so frustrating."

"How about we go eat ramen?" Aoi Asahi said. "Normally, it seems strange for girls to go to ramen shops, but today Natsugiri is going with me."

"can."

Xia Wuzhao gripped the umbrella handle.

Chapter 467 For the first time, someone's life was changed because of me.

The two found a very ordinary ramen shop on a rainy day. It had nothing special about it and nothing particularly eye-catching.

Everywhere can be described as ordinary.

The ramen was quite ordinary, with a large portion of shredded green onions, piled-up pork, and a broth with a rich, salty flavor.

Such food is generally only eaten by those who have done heavy labor.

If you have a small appetite, eating this once a day will probably feel too greasy and make you feel bloated.

Sunflowers, however, seemed relaxed and ate them very quickly.

She likes to eat the pork first, and then slowly eat the ramen with scallions. Only when she lifts her hair dot her temples with beads of sweat.

Xia Wuzhao pushed the tissue over.

After wiping herself clean, Aoi said, "I actually really like eating ramen. In the past, I would save up money to eat ramen occasionally. That was probably the happiest time of my life."

She laughed and said, "Because I usually feel my body gradually weakening, but after eating ramen, I feel like my condition has been refreshed, and I have energy again."

"That's because the body was weak due to previous malnutrition."

“Is that so?” Aoi said; “But if you say it like that, it becomes less romantic, and the ramen doesn’t seem special anymore.”

"Shall we go get something else to eat?" Xia Wuzhao asked, looking at her.

He had already finished eating and was now just waiting for the sunflowers.

"I still prefer ramen to anything else."

She ate slowly, accompanied by the rainy weather.

When we finally finished eating and were about to leave, the rain intensified.

It crashed to the ground with a thud, making the asphalt surface wet and puddled with water.

—The torrential rainwater flowed down the ditch into the sewer, forming a small whirlpool at the fence.

"It's finally gotten a bit cooler," Aoi said with a smile, clearly satisfied.

I was supposed to go straight to the station and then go home.

However, both of them chose to take a longer route, opting for a slightly longer one.

Walking in the rain, no one mentioned it.

They were just walking slowly.

Asakawa Yo got out of the car and ran quickly towards home, her back bent. She splashed water everywhere in the puddles, leaving her sailor uniform wet.

Fortunately, no one saw her current disheveled state.

Standing under the door, she waved to Chiho.

Chiho smiled and waved back before closing the window and leaving.

She already knew the location of Xia Wuzhao's house and had been there before. Her recent visit was only for a reason, an excuse.

—Even if Aoi discovers something is wrong later, she'll have an excuse.

With that thought in mind, she directed the driver to drive away.

If we stay any longer, we'll probably run into Xia Wu and A Kui.

"Where shall we go today, Miss?"

The female driver asked softly.

"Let's go to the company."

Chiho answered helplessly.

She needed to go to the company to see how it actually operated and try to make judgments about various problems within the company.

—Although these judgments are of little use, because they don't actually affect the company's operations.

However, this was her father's request.

When he dies, Chiho can take over the family business in peace.

Even if you can't hold on, don't let things decline too quickly.

As a student, this kind of thing is really exhausting.

Chiho spends a lot of time on these things every day, especially the things that happen after school; they are all wasted on this.

Chiho felt a mix of good and bad about this matter.

Before this happened, she could play with Xia Wuzhao every day.

Although that kind of thing can't really be called playing.

Chiho sighed and looked out the window at the torrential rain.

She didn't know if she was happy or not.

"Or rather, once the question was raised, the answer was already quite clear. It's simply that I'm not so happy."

Asakawa Yo felt quite happy today.

—Because Xia Wuzhao has returned to her former appearance.

"I saved a person."

This idea made her feel incredibly proud and somewhat happy.

She kicked off her wet shoes and hurriedly ran upstairs.

After pushing open the door, Meiyue was adjusting the equipment.

"What's wrong? You seem flustered." Turning to look at the slightly disheveled Asakawa Yo, he asked, "Did something happen?"
