I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

Even after being told that by Natsumi Kiri, Mizuki still smiled.

"Xia Wu, you really don't hold back," she said with a slight smile. "But you can't say I didn't do anything, okay?"

"So what did you do?"

"You came here today, Natsume, and then questioned me because of Asakawa after you came downstairs." Mizuki smiled mischievously. "That's what I did."

Xia Wuzhao glanced at her, then ignored her and went home.

As Mizuki watched Xia Wuzhao's retreating figure, she touched her hair and said, "One or two of them, they really aren't honest people."

She realized that Asakawa Yo and Natsugiri Kai were indeed the same kind of people.

When Xia Wuzhao got home, she saw that Asahi Aoi had already prepared dinner.

—A good curry.

She rested her chin on her hand: "How is Qianchuan?"

"She was so tired she fainted." Xia Wuzhao said, "It seems she was really exhausted today. And her previously awkward personality has improved a lot."

"I see." Aoi Asahi nodded. "It's a bit of a shame that I didn't get to see what Asakawa Yo looks like now."

Despite saying this, the two still sat at the table eating and chatting.

Most of it was learning, and a small part was some fun.

However, since neither of them went out, there wasn't much to talk about.

—That's how it was originally.

Aoi, however, is aware of her shortcomings, and she often chats with Chiho. Chiho talks about strange topics and conscious matters.

Aoi Asahi would then tell all of these things.

In this way, the atmosphere wasn't too dull.

Dinner ended in this harmonious atmosphere.

"Looks like I'm not bad either."

A sweet feeling welled up in Aoi's heart, and she happily began to clear away the plates.

Xia Wuzhao also helped her tidy up.

Xiao Ai saw it clearly: "It seems that Aoi has been working very hard lately."

Xia Wuzhao understood what Xiao Ai was saying, but he did not respond.

After giving the dishes a quick rinse, I stuffed them all into the dishwasher. As the dishwasher hummed, Aoi called out to Natsugiri Kai, "Want to watch TV together?"

"Ah."

Xia Wuzhao agreed.

—Because even if they don't agree, there's nothing else they can do.

Chapter 477 Let's go on a date.

The first day of August was unbearably hot.

The light outside was so bright it almost pierced one's eyes, and the cicadas' chirping sounded weak and listless, as if they were about to die.

Even if you're indoors, sitting by the window.

But it still feels glaring and somewhat unpleasant.

It was so hot that we had to turn on the air conditioner. But after turning it on, we felt cold after a short while.

My hands and feet are a bit cold, but I feel hot again when I turn off the air conditioner.

In the end, all I could do was sit by the window, basking in the sun and enjoying the air conditioning.

"Today, there's still nothing to do."

Asahi Aoi rested her chin on her hand, flipping through the pages of the book.

"Isn't it nice to have nothing to do?" Xia Wuzhao said; "Although there are no surprises, at least there are no disappointments."

Subconsciously, Aoi wanted to retort.

But after thinking about it carefully, it does seem to be true.

"Indeed, a simple and peaceful life is quite nice."

With a faint smile, she turned the pages of the book in her hands.

What are you looking at today?

“A classic novel.” Aoi Asahi held up the book in her hand, which had the title “The Unbearable Lightness of Being” on it.

"How about it?"

"It feels strange." Aoi Asahi smiled. "I think it's very well written."

Is this to prepare for the future?

"No, it's to prepare for love," Aoi Asahi said. "I see a lot of romances on TV and in anime, and they always end up causing all sorts of accidents because of this or that. So, I'm reading some books about love now. That way, when I actually fall in love in the future, I can be prepared."

He laughed and said, "It's probably about maxing out your defense before the attack even arrives."

“Not bad either.” Xia Wuzhao turned her head and looked out the window.

He is not a person who likes to go out, compared to strangers who are hard to understand and not easy to get along with.

Xia Wuzhao prefers to stay in the house alone and enjoy her own world.

However, he is not the kind of person who enjoys solitude.

Occasionally, he would find the loneliness unbearable.

Now that I have the sunflower by my side, I no longer have any concerns about this aspect.

"But do I really have to let Asahi miss summer vacation because of me?"

Xia Wuzhao thought to herself, but hesitated.

"But am I being too self-conscious? Will doing this make Asahina dislike me?"

He looked at Aoi Asahi and sized up the girl in front of him.

The sunlight was soft and gentle, and a peculiar atmosphere surrounded the girl. She was striking, yet somehow reassuring.

"what happened?"

The girl looked at Xia Wuzhao with a puzzled expression.

"I didn't really have much reason to worry about these things. I actually did too many things that were overly self-conscious. I just thought that even if it was wrong, it could still help them a little, so I did it."

"Right now, I'm hesitant and uncertain. It's entirely because of a sense of responsibility; I guess I'm actually a little reluctant to take on that responsibility."

"Or rather, I'm actually a little afraid of taking responsibility."

"But—it's better for me to sacrifice for them than for them to continue sacrificing for me."

"After all, this is the path I chose myself."

"Besides, what kind of sacrifice is it to accompany a girl shopping?"

"Or rather, what's being sacrificed is simply the future."

He took a deep breath, as if he could see a suffocating future like a quagmire.

But the sun shines brightly today, the cicadas still sing, and the tender leaves of the trees are still delicate.

There are still many young boys and girls on the streets.

They were dressed in youthful and beautiful clothes, and strolled aimlessly through the streets with their friends, chatting.

But isn't that what youth is all about?

In the future, this will become a gem in their memories.

"Besides, if Asakawa Yo could say such things, am I really less enlightened than her?"

Xia Wuzhao wanted to turn his head away, but he didn't.

Instead, he was gazing into the girl's eyes.

"How long has it been since I last paid attention to a girl's eyes?"

Xia Wuzhao thought of this.

Her eyes were chestnut brown, and her hair hung down on either side of her face.

Her neck was fair, and her arms were slender.

Before long, Aoi's cheeks turned a little red.

Let's go on a date.

Xia Wuzhao suddenly said this.

"Eh?"

"Eh!!!"

Aoi couldn't help but gasp, covering her lips with both hands.

Suddenly he stood up, and the book fell to the ground.

The cicadas outside the window were chirping more and more noisily, and Asahi seemed unusually at a loss.

Her eyes widened, and her arms flailing wildly.

After a long pause, she finally said, "Xia Wu, why did you suddenly think of this?"

"It's probably because summer is so nice. If you don't go out and have fun, you'll probably feel really regretful."

Xia Wuzhao looked into her eyes, making Asahi Aoi feel very uncomfortable.

She whispered, "But it's so hot today."

She regretted it as soon as she said it.

"How could I say such a thing? What if Xia Wuzhao really doesn't go out anymore?"

Aoi felt a little regretful.

However, Xia Wuzhao said, "But the weather is nice, isn't it?"

After saying that, he stood up and said, "I'm going to change my clothes. We'll meet downstairs in a bit."

"really?"

"Have you really decided?"

"Do you really want to do this?"

Aoi asked three questions in an instant, but Natsugiri Kai had already left.

She stood by the window, the sunlight making her skin shimmer, her chestnut eyes like jewels.

"It turned out to be true."

She said that incredulously.

"Even though it was just going out to play, it's still a good step forward, isn't it?" Aoi said to herself, then couldn't help but laugh; "His feelings for me are gradually reviving?"

"Perhaps we can ask him later if he's had any strange dreams lately, or if his memory has returned."

Thinking about this, she finally rushed into her room and started picking out clothes.

"This one won't do, and this one won't do either."

"No, no, none of these will work."

She practically took out all her clothes and carefully selected them.

Xia Wuzhao was ready and came downstairs.

The sunlight outside was shining brightly and dazzlingly.

Xiao Ai asked, "Lord Xia Wu, why did you suddenly make such a decision?"

“I did it because I wanted to,” Xia Wuzhao said.

He gripped the necklace in front of him tightly.
