Xia Wuzhao replied calmly.

"I'm talking about the time we lived together," Aoi said quirkily, surprising everyone around her.

However, Xia Wuzhao calmly said, "Then, how about we settle your rent?"

Those around them breathed a sigh of relief, yet also felt a pang of regret.

Asahi Aoi looked at Natsugiri Kai, tilted her head, and said, "Let's talk about this later."

She then returned to her seat, right next to Kirishima Chiho.

Aoi, sitting in her seat, was puzzled. She pursed her lips, pondering why she had done that just now.

"I think the only time I crossed paths with Xia Wuzhao was when we rented the apartment together, but I always feel like I know him too well."

"Just seeing Natsugiri Kai and Kirishima Chiho's conversation made me feel a nameless anger inside."

"That shouldn't be the case."

She pondered deeply, but couldn't understand why.

"Asahi-kun~~, Asahi-kun~~"

Kirishima Chiho called out to Asahi Aoi softly, her expression so gentle and adorable.

"what happened?"

Asahi looked at the class monitor in front of her with a puzzled expression.

Do you know Xia Wu?

She spoke so softly, as if she were relaying information, that Aoi Asahi almost didn't hear her.

"Not very familiar with it," Aoi Asahi replied crisply.

"Oh." Kirishima Chiho asked hesitantly, "Has Natsugiri-san always seemed unapproachable?"

"Difficult to approach?"

Aoi suddenly felt like laughing, but she had no idea why she wanted to laugh.

So, she regained her composure and said, "That's right, he is indeed not easy to approach, you could even say he doesn't have a single friend."

Kirishima Chiho said thoughtfully, "I see."

She smiled gently at Aoi Asahi and said, "Thank you so much, Aoi-kun."

Watching this scene, Xia Wuzhao silently asked Xiao Ai, "Are you sure the memories are really sealed?"

“Yes, of course it’s sealed.” Xiao Ai replied, “But, as you know, Lord Xia Wu, these methods have been passed down for a very long time. Now that the world has changed so much, the seal might have some problems.”

Xiao Ai answered hesitantly, and Xia Wuzhao frowned.

"Natsumura, I never imagined you had such a deep relationship with that Asahi Aoi."

Nagamune whispered from the side, "You said you weren't familiar with it before."

“We are indeed not familiar with each other,” Xia Wuzhao replied.

Chosoku simply didn't believe it: "If you're not familiar with him, why would Asahi Aoi deliberately walk up to you?"

"The way she glanced at me just now was as sharp and ruthless as a knife."

Changzong muttered to himself.

Xia Wuzhao never admitted it, and only after class started did Nagamune finally quiet down.

Classes at Midori High School are quiet, or rather, highly efficient.

The teacher spoke incredibly fast, and the students below remembered just as quickly. It was as if the students could learn it after just one explanation.

Every time get out of class ended, I could hear a soft sigh from the person next to me.

Like a tightly wound spring, it can finally relax.

But as class began, everyone started to get nervous again.

It wasn't until noon that I finally had some time to relax.

Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief; finally, it was time to eat.

Choso called out to Natsume, "I'll take you to a wonderful place."

The so-called good spot is the rooftop. Standing on the edge of the rooftop, you can clearly see the green trees covering the mountains and the small, grid-like residential areas.

"The best view is from the water tower."

Choso instructed Natsume to climb the ladder to the top of the water tower, from where they could have a panoramic view of the school.

The school is divided into a front courtyard, a middle courtyard, and a back courtyard.

The front courtyard was spacious, but sparsely populated. The so-called central courtyard was only a few meters wide between the two buildings.

It's cool here, and there are vending machines and few people bothering you.

The girls love to relax here.

The back courtyard was a playground, but it was deserted at the moment.

Xia Wuzhao soon spotted Asahi Aoi, who was walking towards the library as if no one else was around.

Xia Wuzhao came down quickly, and Changzong saw that Xia Wuzhao had a calm appearance.

Some, unwilling to admit defeat, said, "In a little while, this will be an excellent spot."

As Xia Wuzhao was wondering, she noticed a series of piano sounds.

Looking in the direction that Nagamune was pointing, I found that I could easily see the music classroom from there.

Meanwhile, Kirishima Chiho was leisurely playing the piano, with a woman standing beside her, watching her with satisfaction.

“That’s the class monitor’s mother, the shrew,” Changzong explained. “Every day at noon, her mother would supervise the class monitor’s piano practice.”

"I see."

Xia Wuzhao nodded.

As the piano music continued to flow, Choso leaned against the wall, hiding in the shade, and prepared to eat lunch.

"Which club are you planning to join?" Choso asked Natsugiri Kai. "The baseball club?"

"Homecoming Department," Xia Wuzhao replied casually.

"Go home?" Choso couldn't believe it. He looked Natsumi up and down and said, "It's only in sports clubs that it's easier to find a girlfriend."

But then he said weakly, "You don't need to find a girlfriend at all."

Xia Wuzhao plans to go with Xiao Ai after school to find the next person with a monster in their heart.

If Xia Wuzhao could quickly obtain a Yokai Seed, it would be a very good thing.

In a city like this, monsters shouldn't be too hard to find.

However, in the afternoon, Asahi would always subtly provoke someone, as if she were deliberately testing them.

Xia Wuzhao was getting quite tired of dealing with it.

However, school was finally over, and Aoi could only regretfully head to the library.

Chapter 93 The Suffocating Heat

When I got to the gate after school, I found that the black car was still parked there.

The mother was carrying a large bag of things and looked anxiously into the school.

This person was Chiho Kirishima's mother.

There were several girls chatting and laughing around Kirishima Chiho, but when they saw Kirishima Chiho's mother, the girls' expressions became slightly awkward.

Kirishima Chiho smiled apologetically at them and apologized.

The girls quickly said, "No, no, no, it's not your fault. Chiho, we're sorry for taking up your time."

The girls lowered their heads and quickly left Kirishima Chiho's side.

Kirishima's mother looked rather grim as Kirishima Chiho walked out of the school gate and came to the car.

Then Kirishima's mother's expression softened, and she said happily, "Chiho, look at this. Mom bought you a sugar-free cake especially for you. It's very, very pretty."

“When I was a child, I never ate a cake like this. It was more expensive than my mom’s food expenses for a whole week.”

She said in a happy tone, "Mom has gone to great lengths for you."

Chiho Kirishima simply stood there, smiled softly, and said, "Thank you, Mom."

"Mmm." Kirishima's mother seemed very happy.

Kirishima Chiho wanted to take the bag of cakes, but Kirishima's mother slapped her hand away fiercely.

"Chiho, how can you be so careless?" She frowned. "You need to take good care of your hands. Let Mom do this heavy work. Mom loves you and is willing to do anything for you."

"If your hand is injured, it will affect your ability to play the piano."

Chiho Kirishima could only say once more, "I'm sorry, Mom."

"Alright, alright," Kirishima's mother said with some pleasure. "You're my daughter, why are you apologizing?"

"Hurry up and get on the bus, or you'll be late for the private school later."

Kirishima's mother pulled Kirishima Chiho along, urging her to get in the car quickly: "From now on, you should stay away from those shady characters. You know? They look like bad students, and they definitely have ulterior motives for getting close to you."

“Mom, those people are all students from Class A,” Kirishima Chiho explained.

"Classmate? Hmph, a classmate who doesn't know how to cherish time might be transferred to another class next semester."

"Mom is doing this for your own good, Chiho. Mom drives you to and from school every day and goes to school with you. After dropping you off every morning, I have to rush back to make lunch."

"Why is this? It's so you can eat better, and eat something warm. Mom is making the most of every minute, but you were just wasting time slowly."

Kirishima's mother spoke eloquently: "Time is money, time is life. If you waste ten minutes every day, that's seventy minutes a week. That's three hundred and ten minutes a month, and three thousand seven hundred and twenty minutes a year, which is sixty-two hours."

"That's equivalent to two and a half days."

She said nervously, "A year is just two and a half days short, but a hundred years is more than two hundred days. That counts as a year, so your life is one year shorter than others."

"Isn't this enough to make you wary? You should know that those elderly people need huge sums of money to stay alive until the very last moment of their lives."

"The time you waste could buy a country if converted into money."

Saying this, Kirishima's mother looked sternly at Kirishima Chiho: "So, Chiho, do you know you were wrong?"

"I know I was wrong, Mom." Kirishima Chiho lowered her head and apologized, "I'm sorry for all the hard work you've put into raising me."

"I am also sorry for your love."

Kirishima's mother patted Kirishima Chiho's head and said, "It's okay, Chiho. Mom still loves you. These little mistakes are nothing."

"From now on, you'll have to run out of the classroom every day, run to eat, and run home from school. You need to get serious, Kirishima Chiho."

"That's the only way," Kirishima's mother said. "From now on, you shouldn't interact with those classmates anymore; you need to study hard."

"I asked the teacher about those new transfer students in your class, Xia Wuzhao and Asahi Kui. You should be careful, I heard their grades are really good. And I heard that Xia Wuzhao used to be first every time, but she became second when it was most important."

"You see, this is the downside of wasting time. If you don't work hard usually, you'll miss opportunities in the end. Only by working incredibly hard and putting in the effort regularly will you avoid tears when it comes to the most crucial moment."

She kept talking and urging the driver to hurry up and drive, because they were going to miss the private school session.

There are several today.

As the car started moving, the girls coming out of the school couldn't help but look on with envy.

"That's wonderful. Kirishima is cute and gentle. Her family is well-off, and she's always driven to and from school. Her mother loves her very much and makes her soup every day at noon."

“We can only eat reheated lunch boxes or buy some bread for lunch every day.”

"Yeah yeah."

They all said they were extremely envious.

The nearby residential areas were quite layered, and in order to prevent another flooding of Tokyo due to heavy rain, a lot of sewers were built and many small rivers were dug.

But all of this was in vain, and instead added many difficulties to building the houses. As a result, the houses and roads here look like a haphazardly pieced-together jumble of building blocks and yarn.

People say that this place is like a maze, providing a space for many animals to live.

The roadside was lined with dense trees, and the scorching sun felt like it would melt one's skin.

The girls all had to carry parasols, and they would breathe a sigh of relief whenever they passed under the shade of the trees.
