"I'm not good at saving things like that."

Xia Wuzhao answered crisply, "Or rather, even I don't know what salvation is."

"Ugh, Lady Xiawu, you're joking again," Xiao Ai complained, feeling that Xiawu was fooling her.

Many times, Xiao Ai didn't know whether Xia Wuzhao was telling the truth or lying.

Unable to discern the truth, she could only remain silent.

Jun Yokokawa tapped his shoulder with his textbook: "Natsugiri, I think you should at least show me some respect. You're one of my old students, yet you're still so relaxed during class. It really makes things difficult for me."

"Is that so? I thought the teacher did it on purpose, wanting to see me do that."

"No teacher wants to see their students being lazy."

"But laziness is human nature."

"What makes humans human, and not animals, is our ability to control our behavior."

"I think animals are happier."

"Animals do not have the feeling of happiness; only humans have this emotion."

"Those animals are really lucky."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"Because without happiness, one will not realize one's own unhappiness."

"Didn't Asahi make you a little more normal?" Jun Yokokawa patted Kai Natsugiri's shoulder helplessly. "Haven't you become happier since you got a lover?"

“We are not lovers, Yokokawa-sensei,” Natsuki Kai replied.

"Is that right?"

Yokokawa Jun was somewhat surprised as she led Natsuki Kai to the reception room.

He sat down skillfully on the sofa and lit a cigarette.

With a curious look, he said, "Tell me about it? Maybe the teacher can help you."

“I don’t need any help, teacher.” Xia Wukai declined Yokokawa Jun’s offer.

Jun Yokokawa took a deep drag on his cigarette and exhaled a ring of smoke: "Really? You really don't care?"

"I really don't care, teacher." Xia Wuzhao's emotions were very calm.

Jun Yokokawa could only smile wryly and pat Natsugiri Kai's head: "What a good child."

"There's a smell of smoke, teacher," Xia Wuzhao reminded her.

But this displeased Yokokawa Jun, so she rubbed it harder.

It took a while before she stopped: "However, the relationship between Asahi and you hasn't become too tense. Perhaps there are some secrets you don't want to tell your teacher."

"But the teacher doesn't mind. After all, it's a matter between you students, so you can decide for yourselves."

"So, what's the matter today, teacher?" Xia Wuzhao asked, looking at Yokokawa Jun who was smoking.

"I'm just concerned about you," Jun Yokokawa said. "After all, you did everything you promised. Even if you had a conflict with Aoi Asahi, as your teacher, I still want to encourage your behavior. After all, it's a teacher's responsibility."

"Teacher, to be honest, I think this is not bad either." Xia Wuzhao said calmly, "When you are infatuated with others, you have already pawned yourself to hell."

"Isn't this kind of sunflower quite nice?"

These words made Jun Yokokawa sigh. She said helplessly, "Take better care of yourself, Natsugiri."

Chapter 100 Those Unspeakable Things

Jun Yokokawa looked at Kai Natsugiri and sighed, "Don't just care about others, Natsugiri. At least care about yourself. You've done something so amazing, be proud of yourself."

"I didn't do anything particularly remarkable, Mr. Chun."

Xia Wuzhao responded calmly.

But Jun Yokokawa exhaled a puff of smoke: "Giving people who are at their wits' end a new choice and courage is itself a remarkable thing."

"Sometimes, life changes because of a little courage and a choice."

These words left Xia Wuzhao speechless.

He just listened silently to Yokokawa Jun's words, the smoke swirling around him, thick and then thinning.

Jun Yokokawa wanted to say something more, but then he looked at Kai Natsugiri.

She said helplessly, "Remember, your teacher still cares about you. Don't get yourself all bruised and battered and make your teacher worry."

"I understand, teacher."

After Xia Wuzhao finished speaking, she left the reception room.

But after going outside, I saw sunflowers.

He ignored Aoi Asahi and walked past her.

"If you see something and then pretend you didn't, that's something only someone with a crush would do," Aoi Asahi said sarcastically to Kai Natsugiri. "Are you having a crush on me? That's disgusting."

She spoke crisply and decisively before walking straight up to Xia Wuzhao.

Xia Wuzhao simply looked at her and said in a nonchalant tone, "What do you want now, Asahi Aoi?"

Aoi Asahi felt inexplicably irritated by Natsugiri Kai's indifferent expression, but she forcibly suppressed this irritation.

She said, "Although I shouldn't be saying this, for the sake of harmony in the class, I still have to tell you not to make a move on Kirishima Chiho so soon."

"Kirishima Chiho is very popular with others, and you, as an outsider, have started a relationship with her within a few days. Others will be jealous and ostracize you. Being too prominent can bring bad consequences."

"And that Kirishima Chiho, she's no ordinary girl. If you really try to win her over, be careful not to fall into an abyss."

"However, none of this has much to do with me. If you insist on doing this, then you'll have to bear the consequences if you fall into the abyss."

"Of course, I'll be laughing at you from the sidelines."

She said this.

Xia Wuzhao looked at her and said, "It seems you've guessed wrong. I have no relation to Kirishima Chiho."

"Oh? Is that so?" The girl tilted her head, her long hair flowing down her shoulders. "So it wasn't you who kissed Kirishima Chiho at noon. It was someone else. I must have been mistaken."

"I'm really sorry, it seems I need to remind others that when doing that kind of thing, they should at least choose a discreet place."

She spoke in such a sarcastic tone, then casually walked away from Xia Wuzhao.

Although the girl spoke in a sarcastic tone, Xia Wuzhao showed no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.

He simply shook his head and returned to his classroom.

The second period in the afternoon was swimming class, and the girls went to the changing room to change into their swimsuits.

The boys, on the other hand, changed into their gym clothes in the classroom.

The class was discussing PE class, and one boy complained, "If we can't watch the girls swim during PE class, then what's the difference between this place and an all-boys high school?"

"If you're not worried about getting caught by the teacher, you can go and peek."

"Let's forget about it. I heard that our PE teacher was from here in high school. So she's very strict about joints. If she catches you, you might get expelled."

"Ugh, it's still too scary. It's really too scary."

The boys discussed among themselves, but their eyes kept turning to Xia Wuzhao.

"Xia Wu, when you were in the countryside, did you ever see any girls in swimsuits?"

"No," Xia Wuzhao replied.

"Really?" The other students were a little skeptical: "Are your PE classes this strict too?"

“That’s right,” Xia Wuzhao said. “Our teacher back then was also Yokokawa Jun.”

"Wow, Xia Wu, you're really pitiful."

The boys couldn't help but laugh: "Even though you're in the same rural school as Asahi, your relationship with her isn't exactly friendly."

Xia Wuzhao told them to stop discussing it, as it was pointless.

When we arrived at the playground at the back, the teacher was already waiting there.

The girls didn't need to gather; they had already gone to the poolside.

Trees act as a barrier, isolating the pool from the surrounding area and preventing anyone from seeing what's inside.

Kirishima Chiho has always had many friends; she was showering in a dark blue swimsuit.

The girl next to me said, "Class monitor, you seem to be very troubled."

"Really?" Kirishima Chiho smiled, puzzled. "Do I look really that troubled?"

"Of course, you look so worried right now, as if you have something on your mind."

The girls around them were all chattering, discussing Kirishima Chiho.

Like a whirlpool, it swept most people in.

Asahima simply stood in the corner rinsing herself with water, her eyes closed, waiting to go swimming later.

Compared to the other students, she appeared poised and efficient.

After showering, I went swimming.

After swimming a few laps in the pool, when I got out of the water again, I found that Kirishima Chiho and other girls were still talking.

She was speechless for a moment, then shook her head and started swimming again.

After being asked for a while, Kirishima Chiho said softly, "Do you know what happiness is?"

This question left the surrounding students stunned.

If it were an essay topic, this would be the simplest. Even the worst student would scoff at it, thinking they could answer it with ease.

But when you say it yourself, it always feels different.

I always feel like my throat is blocked. I don't know if it's shyness or embarrassment. Nobody can explain what happiness is.

Even just thinking about it makes me feel ashamed.

In the end, they all deliberately used teasing to cover up their embarrassment.

"Kirishima, if any boy sees you in a swimsuit, he'll surely be very happy."

"Yeah yeah."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh and joke.

Kirishima Chiho smiled gently, looking thoughtful.

The girls cheered each other on and went to the pool together, ready to start swimming.

Kirishima Chiho swam for a while, getting completely soaked, before standing by the pool.

"Aren't you going swimming?" The girls laughed and waved to Kirishima Chiho.

Kirishima Chiho shook her head and said, "I'll be leaving for a while."

The other girls smiled and then stopped paying attention to Kirishima Chiho.

They started swimming happily in the pool.

Kirishima Chiho walked barefoot into the woods, hiding behind the trees and observing where Natsugiri Kai was.

My head is splitting open

Today, the author's sleep schedule was disrupted due to a blind date, resulting in a splitting headache.

I'll only update once today, and I'll make up for it tomorrow.

Chapter 101 A Twisted Spiral Spins in Scarlet Eyes

Xia Wuzhao has never been a very sociable person, and even her friends are few and far between.

Only Changzong could be considered a casual acquaintance; they could exchange a few words when they met, but once they left the school, they probably wouldn't have much to say to each other.

While the boys were playing football with great enthusiasm, Xia Wuzhao simply sat in the shade of a tree enjoying the cool air.

Kirishima Chiho bent down, picked up a small stone, and threw it at Natsugiri Kai.

But it was too weak, and it only landed on the ground a short distance away, rolled once, and then went silent.

Kirishima Chiho had no choice but to take another small pebble and throw it at Natsugiri Kai with all her might.
