I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

This made her hesitate.

But at this moment, she thought of Xia Wuzhao.

"Perhaps, Xia Wuzhao wouldn't hesitate here."

"Perhaps he can make the decision with ease."

"Because he is always strong, always sharp."

She whispered, "A person can only save themselves; no one can save another."

The girl said in a clear voice, "Mother, my answer is the same as before. I will not grant your request."

"This is not hatred, but the only thing I can do."

As she said this, she took a difficult step to leave the place.

The girl was afraid that if she stayed here any longer, she wouldn't be able to bear Keiko's tears.

She wanted to escape from here.

But Keiko cried and called out to her.

"Aoi Asahi! My daughter! I can only rely on you now, please help your mother."

"What's so embarrassing about that?"

"Even if you don't go to see Yajima Jiro at all, even if you just send him a message, that would be fine."

"It was just something I did on the spur of the moment."

She pleaded humbly.

"Sunflower!"

"Didn't you say you hate me, that you look down on me? But what you did is no different from what I did."

"We're all just doing our best for our own happiness. What's the difference between you and me?"

She cried out loudly, "If you hate me, then don't become me!"

“I will never be like you, Mother.”

Aoi Asahi said those words with all her might.

Huizi replied, "Then prove it to me."

"You've proven you're a good person!"

"You've proven that you're completely different from me!"

Keiko cried out sharply, her sobs striking Aoi Asahi again and again.

She bit her lip, her fingers clenched very tightly.

She thought about many things, about everything that had happened over the past few months.

"I thought about it for a long time and came up with countless reasons to reject her. Every reason was reasonable, and I didn't need to tell her those reasons or prove anything to her."

I thought about why I wouldn't refuse for a long, long time. But it's because I simply couldn't find any reason not to refuse.

"I can't think of any reason to agree to my mother's request."

"The only reason I could think of was the reason I had denied it countless times before, the reason I had never cared about it—she was my mother."

"I was tripped up by this seemingly most easily denied reason."

"How ridiculous. I can deny countless things, but the one thing I can't deny is this."

"Mother, oh Mother."

Sunflower was in pain and grief.

"It was as if there was a real thread connecting me and her, and her pain spread along that thread to me, leaving me nowhere to hide."

"Perhaps I am really not as good as Xia Wu. He can cleanly and decisively cut ties with everything, but I can't do that myself."

"I've disappointed you again this time."

Aoi clenched her fists tightly, her heart filled with sorrow and worry.

She finally made up her mind.

She looked at the weeping Keiko and said, "From today onwards, we will have no other relationship."

As the girl spoke, she took her phone and sent a text message.

She left the place decisively, as if she had escaped from a quagmire.

Huizi's face was full of surprise. She seemed a little incredulous, and a happy smile appeared on her face as she held her phone.

She exclaimed, "Daughter, thank you. Daughter, you really are a good person. You are indeed different from your mother."

She didn't even want to wipe away her tears, clutching her phone tightly in anticipation.

And the message finally came back.

"Yes, yes!"

She smiled happily.

Asahi walked out the door and slammed it shut behind her.

Her body felt as if all her strength had been drained. She leaned against the door, looking at the gloomy, dusty corridor.

"On the contrary, I wish I weren't your daughter, and I wish I weren't a good person."

She murmured to herself.

Having finally regained her strength, the girl straightened up and walked outside.

As I walked out of the gloomy corridor, it was already dusk.

The sky darkened, and the surrounding light sources gradually went out.

The streetlights are already on.

The night air was still a bit cool, and she took a deep breath.

It exhaled another wisp of white mist.

She prepared to walk forward, intending to find Xia Wuzhao.

I was about to tell him—it's all over.

Everything is alright.

She felt a little uneasy, but she forced herself to stay firm.

I'm thinking about it, I'm pondering it.

But then I saw the person standing under the streetlight.

In an instant, she felt as if her body was bound by gravity, and she was almost too panicked to move.

It took the girl a long time to calm down before she finally took a step.

She appeared light and agile as she approached Xia Wuzhao.

The two of them stood under the streetlight, their shadows blending into a small, dark mass.

The girl pinched a strand of her hair and looked at Xia Wuzhao, saying, "Xia Wu, it's all over."

Xia Wuzhao silently watched the girl, gazing into her chestnut-colored eyes.

Those eyes were so moist, they were practically sparkling.

The girl said, as if pleading, "I have already ended everything."

"Let's go home, Xiawu."

Xia Wuzhao simply looked at her and said softly, "I was right outside the door just now. I heard everything."

"Ah, I see." The girl forced a smile.

But her fingers kept stroking her sideburns, the movements becoming faster and faster.

"I'm so sorry."

The girl said in an embarrassed tone, "I'm so sorry to have let you hear about such an embarrassing thing."

"I'm so sorry."

The more she talked, the more she couldn't help but speak.

Hot tears streamed down her cheeks.

Chapter 87 After many twists and turns, things remain the same.

Xia Wuzhao looked at Asahi Aoi, who was crying in front of him, and wiped away the girl's tears.

Why are you crying?

The girl cried even more bitterly, clutching Xia Wuzhao's clothes tightly.

She said, "Because I failed again. Because I said I would cut everything off, I said I would make a decision about everything."

"But I failed to do it."

She sobbed, tears streaming down her face.

The girl said, "I'm condoning evil."

"See, don't you understand?" Xia Wuzhao said calmly.

His cold words tore at the girl's heart.

Her fingers gripped Xia Wuzhao's clothes tightly, afraid that Xia Wuzhao would shake her off and leave at any moment.

Aoi was crying, her body trembling.

She sobbed, "I know I did something wrong. I shouldn't have agreed to her request. I shouldn't have done that. I know I was indulging in evil."

"But perhaps I really am so worthless, perhaps I am just too weak."

"When I saw her crying there in pain, I couldn't bring myself to be cruel."

"Even though I hated her so much before, and was so angry with her, I found myself softening when she cried so pitifully."

"How ridiculous!"

She looked up at Xia Wuzhao and said, "I actually feel sorry for my mother who keeps scolding and insulting me."

Tears streamed down her face: "I even felt that if I refused, she might really die."

"I actually feel that she is, after all, my mother, even though I used to hate this the most."

“Before, I never thought she was my mother.”

She sobbed, weeping bitterly.

Her body was trembling from the intense crying, as if she couldn't breathe.

Xia Wuzhao simply looked at her quietly and said, "Now that you've made your decision, why are you still crying like this?"

The girl finally broke down, shouting, "Because I'm scared!"

"I'm afraid Xia Wu, you'll leave me. I'm afraid of that!"

She said, almost pleadingly, "I'm afraid of this. It's so rare, so rare, that we can finally call each other by our first names."

"But I know. If you find out, you will definitely leave."

Asahi Aoi was already sobbing uncontrollably, gripping Natsugiri Kai's shoulders tightly, her hair hanging limply.

"Because what you want to see is a strong sunflower, I know that. I know everything you've done is for this."

“Otherwise, you wouldn’t have sold me the bento for only 100 yen. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have agreed to let me live in your house. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have helped me, threatened others, and stopped Risa Yajima.”

"I know that without you, I would definitely be bullied even more."

"But, but that's precisely why I don't want to give up."

She gripped Xia Wuzhao's clothes tightly, tears streaming down her face.

The girl said painfully, "But I know that if I do that, everything will end."

"But I did it anyway, helplessly."
