I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

Xia Wuzhao asked without looking up, "What?"

The way the two of them acted sparked gossip among others.

They were all watching very carefully.

Did the two of them have a fight?

Could it be that Natsugiri Kai and Asahi Aoi have really developed an irreconcilable conflict?

Everyone thought the same thing and looked on with curiosity.

"Can you come out for a moment?"

Aoi expressed her request.

"No." Xia Wuzhao decisively rejected Asahi Aoi's request.

The people around couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

As if this were some major event, the cheers attracted the attention of the other classes outside, who curiously looked around to see what had happened.

But in the end, nothing happened.

Xia Wuzhao did not agree to Asahi Aoi's request, but instead studied diligently.

His attitude towards Aoi Asahi was indifferent.

But Aoi Asahi is persistent, even when she can't say a word to Natsugiri Kai.

She didn't give up and continued to try her best.

At noon, the two of them would sit on the rooftop or eat in the horticulture department.

Lunch was a bento box brought by Asahi Aoi, and she would return to the office in the evening.

Time seemed to proceed as usual, as if nothing had changed.

The two still ate together and went to and from school together. Asahi Aoi still worked at the pastry shop and still made lunch and bento boxes every day.

Xia Wuzhao still gives Asahi Sunflower money every day.

However, the two of them barely spoke a word to each other.

They were like strangers, but how could strangers live together?

Every time she went to work at the pastry shop, her mother-in-law would ask her about her relationship with Xia Wuzhao.

Each time, Aoi Asahi would force a smile and say, "We'll make up soon, Grandma."

But every time they returned home, the atmosphere between them was silent.

The girl would try her best to talk about interesting things that happened each day, but Xia Wuzhao remained silent.

The girl sensed Xia Wuzhao's disappointment and wanted to do everything she could to make amends.

However, the future is still nowhere in sight.

The girl sometimes wondered: How long will it take? When will it finally be over?

But then I realized: Does that mean I can give up just because I don't know when I'll succeed?

No, that's not right. You just need to keep doing it.

Even if there are no results, then it will not succeed in the end.

All I need to do is keep going.

One day? Two days?

One week? Two weeks?

Everyone at school was used to the things that happened between Asahi Aoi and Natsugiri Kai.

People were even speculating about why the two of them had turned out this way.

They even made a bet on whether the two of them would end this cold war before the end of June.

June 27th, another new day.

Today's weather is so hot that you can't stop sweating and need to keep wiping away sweat while still maintaining a presentable appearance.

The scent of the sunflower hair became exceptionally clear in this summer.

As Xia Wuzhao passed by the seaside station, she saw the open space.

The stem has already grown to the height of a calf, and the leaves look fuzzy under the blue sky.

A rich, emerald-green light flowed under the clear sky.

"Lord Xiawu, the demon seed has been suppressed to its limit."

Xiao Ai reminded Xia Wuzhao in her heart: "There's only a tiny crack left."

"I know."

Xia Wuzhao responded to Xiao Ai in her mind.

I don't know why Xiao Ai was sighing a bit; she didn't seem to be in a very high mood.

As the spring breeze blew in my face, the plants beside the abandoned station swayed their leaves slightly.

Asahi said, "I don't know who scattered the seeds somewhere, but now they've finally sprouted. I really don't know what kind of flower this is."

Xia Wuzhao replied casually, "Who knows? Maybe it's just a seed left behind by seabirds that sprouted by chance."

Asahi said, "How could such neat and uniform plants have been left by birds? It looks like someone planted them."

But as soon as she said those words, she froze.

"I want to turn around and see if this is really true."

"But I don't dare to do it, because my fear is false."

The girl was conflicted, but she still looked at Xia Wuzhao.

Xia Wuzhao said dismissively, "Perhaps it really was planted by someone."

He looked at Aoi Asahi and asked, "What's wrong? You look like you're about to cry."

Asahi Aoi really wanted to cry and talk about the pain and sadness she had been going through during this time.

But she smiled and said, "I just think it's ridiculous that you, Xia Wu, would think that these uniform plants grew from seeds left by seabirds. Just thinking about it makes me want to laugh and cry."

She said this as if to cover something up, and then went on to talk about other trivial things.

"When I work at the pastry shop now, it's always unbearably hot. I'm always drenched in sweat, and I can only use a big fan to keep my clothes from getting soaked."

"But my hair will hurt from the wind."

Asahi Aoi talked about what happened at the pastry shop, and then said, "And, these past few days, Keiko hasn't been able to find me again."

"It seems that Risa Yajima has also disappeared; she hasn't even come to school anymore."

The girl recounted the trivialities of life bit by bit, seemingly endlessly.

Xia Wuzhao listened to him, occasionally offering a reply.

But more often than not, they remain silent.

But the girl didn't care, and the two walked to school together.

Only when she walked into the school gate did the girl finally say, "Summer is here."

"Yes, summer is here."

Xia Wuzhao said this casually, and the two walked into the classroom.

The students groaned in despair, while others were so happy they almost jumped for joy.

Some angrily slumped onto the table.

Those who are happy are the ones who bet that Natsugiri Kai and Asahi Aoi will definitely make up before the end of June.

Those who get angry are the losers.

The two groups of people appeared clearly distinct.

"Xia Wuzhao, the teacher is calling you."

Outside the door, an unfamiliar classmate called out to Xia Wuzhao.

The person named Natsugiri Kai is Yokokawa Jun, who is in the reception room as always.

As soon as Xia Wuzhao entered, she could smell the thick smoke.

Xia Wuzhao walked over and closed the window.

Then he turned to Yokokawa Jun and said, "Jun-sensei, what's the matter?"

Yokokawa Jun looked at Natsugiri Kai with a complicated expression: "Do you know what Yajima Risa is doing right now?"

Xia Wuzhao silently shook his head and said, "Who knows about these things? I haven't seen her in class for a long time."

Chapter 89 The First and Last Promise

"She dropped out of school."

Jun Yokokawa took a deep breath while smoking.

"Is that so?" Xia Wuzhao said, "Teacher, you called me here to celebrate?"

"This isn't a place for you to celebrate." Jun Yokokawa shook his head helplessly. "Do you know why?"

"do not know."

Natsugiri Kai shook her head and said, "However, it's not as simple as Yajima Risa dropping out of school, is it?"

“That’s right.” Jun Yokokawa said with a hint of worry as he smoked, “Her parents are divorced now, although the house was left to her and his mother.”

"But because her mother didn't work and had previously spent money extravagantly, she had very little savings."

"Oh?" Xia Wuzhao said, "So? You don't have money for school?"

“That’s probably the reason,” Jun Yokokawa said. “And it’s not worth it anyway. She feels that even if she goes to high school, she won’t get into university. After all, she’s not cut out for studying.”

"At most, you can go to an ordinary university, but you won't be able to find a job after graduation. Instead of wasting so much time, you might as well start as an apprentice now to earn money, and then save up to go to a specialized university to train your vocational skills."

"For example, clothing and the like."

Jun Yokokawa, smoking a cigarette, said, "That was her decision. She asked me for help before, and I promised to find her a place where she could be an apprentice."

"So, teacher, you called me here just to talk to me about these things?" Xia Wuzhao looked at Yokokawa Jun: "I'm not really concerned about this matter."

Jun Yokokawa patted Kai Natsugiri's head and said, "I know, but I still have to explain it to you."

“The school doesn’t pay attention to or care about what Risa Yajima did. After all, nothing serious happened.” Jun Yokokawa smiled wryly. “She really asked me for help, and I couldn’t refuse. After all, she’s my student, so I could only find her a shop in the Second New Tokyo where she could be an apprentice.”

"However, you probably won't be able to see her."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Xia Wuzhao replied calmly.

“This should be a good thing for you,” Jun Yokokawa sighed. “However, her mother is heartbroken. She’s been crying and begging her daughter to stay here, but Risa Yajima is very determined and left.”

"Many people have heard about the affair between Yajima Jiro and Nomura Keiko. In this small town, such gossip always spreads very quickly. Yajima Jiro lost his job and basically can't find a new one here."

"So, they left here a few days ago, and we don't know where they went."

"The school can't contact them either, which has led to the issue of Asahiku's guardianship."

Jun Yokokawa said, "Right now, Asahi Aoi has no guardians around. From September to late March of the following year, which is the tuition for the first year of high school, it is possible that through subsidies and the school's initiative, Asahi Aoi will not need to pay."

"However, starting next year, students in grades 11 and 12 will need to pay tuition fees."

Jun Yokokawa sighed as he smoked, "Besides, because of the school merger, the school in Second New Tokyo won't reduce or waive tuition fees for Aoi Asahi just because of us."

"So, the reason I asked you to come here today is because of this issue."

"What do you want to do?" Jun Yokokawa asked Kai Natsugiri.

"What about the scholarship?" Xia Wuzhao asked, looking at Yokokawa Jun.

Only the first place winner receives a scholarship.

"Only one person?"

“This is just a school in a small town, how good can the teaching resources be?” Jun Yokokawa said. “The schools in Second New Tokyo probably look down on this place.”

"If it weren't for the fact that there have been so few students in recent years, the schools wouldn't have been merged."
