I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

This time it was perfect; it landed right on Xia Wuzhao's shoulder.

Xia Wuzhao looked over and found Kirishima Chiho hiding behind a tree, waving at him.

The tree completely blocked her body, but her scarlet hair fluttered wildly.

Xia Wuzhao thought for a moment, then walked straight toward the tree without much further consideration.

Kirishima Chiho pointed in a direction to Natsugiri Kai, telling her to go to the back of the changing room.

The girl was still walking ahead with graceful steps.

Behind the changing room was a large forest. Although there were ventilation windows, they were so high that even if two people were stacked together, they couldn't see inside through them.

Kirishima Chiho stood on the concrete foundation at the base of the wall, combing her hair with a gentle smile.

His whole body was still soaked, and water droplets could be seen dripping from his smooth skin and splashing onto the grayish-white cement.

"How about it?"

She stretched out her arms slightly and turned around in front of Xia Wuzhao.

"Isn't it cute?"

The girl smiled and tilted her head to look at Xia Wuzhao.

Chiho Kirishima was wearing a school swimsuit, a dark blue one-piece. It covered her body completely, making her anything but cute.

But when the girl put it on, she actually exuded a certain charm.

Her legs were ramrod straight, and the one-piece swimsuit accentuated her curves in every detail.

She had a soft, supple waist and showed off her curves without any hesitation.

Waiting for Xia Wuzhao to lose her focus, she squatted down in front of her and said childishly, "Are you happy?"

Xia Wuzhao asked her, "Do you think this can be called happiness?"

"Others say that if I do this, you will feel happy."

The girl smiled, but her expression was serious.

"So you believed it?"

Xia Wuzhao felt like laughing.

"Yes, I believe you." The girl chuckled. "Because I don't understand anything at all. I don't even know what happiness looks like, so I have no choice but to do this."

"Looks like you're a fool."

Xia Wuzhao said, but the girl didn't seem to care.

He simply said, "Is that so?"

“Of course that’s how it is,” Xia Wuzhao said. “To simply listen to others and do something like this, what else could you be but a fool? Was that person last night your twin sister? Or your second personality?”

"Oh? You found out?" Kirishima Chiho pinched a strand of her crimson hair and smiled slyly at Natsugiri Kai. "Looks like you really liked me last night."

Xia Wuzhao simply looked at her coldly: "You can continue to play the role, I don't care."

"How boring, Xia Wu." The girl's sly smile faded slightly. "You're the one who said I had a dual personality, so I pretended to have one."

"I just said you're even dumber than yesterday," Xia Wuzhao replied nonchalantly.

“If that’s really the case, then that would be great,” Kirishima Chiho said. “If that’s really the case, then maybe before long I won’t have any more worries.”

"But unfortunately, you can't escape the vortex you're in now."

Xia Wuzhao answered indifferently.

"I knew it all along. I knew I couldn't escape it."

Kirishima Chiho said, "That's why I want to rely on you, Natsugiri, to help me get out of this predicament."

She smiled sweetly and asked, "But are you really not happy?"

“You always seem to think that looking at your own bodies makes you happy,” Xia Wuzhao said to the girl. “Don’t you find that strange?”

"What's so strange about that?" The girl tilted her head, looking puzzled.

She said with a smile, "Isn't it pretty? Am I not cute?"

As she spoke, she pulled open her shirt in front of Xia Wuzhao.

The swimsuit left two thin indentations on her shoulders, making her skin strikingly white.

The dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves swayed and danced on her skin.

The girl asked sweetly, "Are you really not happy? Don't you really feel any happiness?"

"I can do anything you want."

As Kirishima Chiho spoke, she even took a strap off her shoulder and freed one arm from her clothes.

Like a cicada shedding its shell, she was about to emerge from her dark blue school swimsuit.

Her fair and beautiful body seemed ready to be displayed in the sunlight.

"How stupid, Kirishima."

Xia Wukai shook her head and suddenly slapped Kirishima Chiho across the face.

"If that's all you're capable of, then why not just give up on all your ideas as soon as possible?" Xia Wuzhao said sarcastically. "You might as well just listen to your mother obediently, even though it's painful and you've lost your self-respect."

"But at least under your mother's care, you lived like a young lady. Instead of being as lowly and pitiful as you are now."

Xia Wuzhao stood up and turned to leave.

"Did you feel happy doing this?"

The girl spoke from behind, and then she let out a sneer.

She still wasn't dressed, letting the shoulder straps hang loosely.

Her thin, slender shoulder and back were particularly noticeable. She squatted there, her hand supporting her chin.

"After you hit me, did you feel happy?"

Those scarlet eyes stared at Xia Wuzhao, filled with a twisted gravity.

"To casually offer vague and seemingly plausible advice to a promiscuous girl, and to punish her accordingly."

"Does it give you a sense of happiness as a master?"

"Would you feel a great sense of accomplishment saving a girl like me who seems like an angel on the surface but is actually a devil inside?"

"Ah~, should I kneel here now and pray to you, praise you, and sing your praises as a saint would to a god?"

"Becoming the savior would make you very proud, Xia Wu, wouldn't it?"

"Would becoming a savior make you happy, Xia Wuzhao?"

The girl's face held a devilish cunning as she looked at Xia Wuzhao with her scarlet eyes and said, "Ah, do I need to beg here?"

"Savior, let all the sins in my body be burned away."

"Is this alright?" the girl asked. "Or do you want me to say something even more humble, even more wanton?"

“O Savior, I am willing to bear your sins with this body, and I am willing to offer this body as a vessel for you.”

Chapter 102 The hazy and weary fog

Although the girl smiled gently like an angel, one could see the sarcasm in her expression.

Xia Wuzhao remained calm and casually said, "Ah, it's really wonderful to be a savior. Being able to control the happiness of others is truly a good thing."

"It's a joyful thing for me to be able to punish a girl like you and then save her."

"I really do want to be a savior, what you said is absolutely right."

He said so casually, "Didn't you want me to admit it? Now that I've said it, how do you feel?"

Are you trying to say that I'm just as despicable as you?

"I really can't deny that, because compared to the so-called savior, I'm more like a despicable prisoner."

"But these kinds of cringey lines are the kind of things middle schoolers would say. Does it sound too fake for me to say them now?"

"If that's really the case, then it's a real shame."

As Xia Wuzhao said this, she awkwardly turned her head to look at Kirishima Chiho: "Now, how do you feel? I've said everything you wanted me to say."

"These words make it impossible to tell whether they are a lie or the truth."

Every word seemed like a lie, yet every word was the truth. But I couldn't tell the difference at all.

"It's like I have no idea why I said those things just now."

"Is it anger, sarcasm, or ridicule?"

"Ah—probably not, I'm just being too anxious."

"I can't take it anymore, I want to end it all. That's why I feel anxious and worried about not being able to win over Xia Wuzhao."

"That's why I wanted to use those words to expose Xia Wuzhao and prove that he was just like me."

"—They're all hypocritical people with ulterior motives, thinking this will allow Xia Wuzhao to fulfill the agreement ahead of schedule."

"But everything failed, it all failed. Xia Wuzhao is different from me. I can't understand him, and I don't know what he's thinking."

"It's really strange. Even when there was no hope, I was able to endure it for so long."

"But this time, I only saw a faint glimmer of light, yet it made me so anxious and uneasy."

Her heart fluttered with excitement, and she silently put on her clothes.

He finally stood up and looked at Xia Wuzhao.

He said to Xia Wuzhao very seriously, "Are you really not going to do anything? The only thing I can offer right now is my body. As for anything else, I have nothing."

She spoke with a tough yet pitiful tone, but Xia Wuzhao showed no pity whatsoever.

Instead, she said sarcastically, "Don't you have the love your mother gave you?"

After saying that, Xia Wuzhao left.

Kirishima Chiho watched Natsugiri Kai's departing figure and remained silent for a while.

After drying off, I had no choice but to return to the poolside.

"Squad leader, what were you doing just now?"

Some of the girls greeted him.

The girl just smiled gently and said, "It's nothing, I just did a little thing."

While chatting with the others, she went swimming a few more times.

"Mom said today that we should swim for a sufficient amount of time."

Thinking this way, she swam for quite some time before coming to the surface.

The pool was used in turns by everyone. Although no one cared that Kirishima Chiho swam a few extra minutes, she insisted on giving up her spot.

There are fences around the swimming pools, and outside the fences are dense trees.

Kirishima Chiho sat in the corner, looking at the trees.

"What should I do?"

The girl was confused.

What are you thinking about?

Aoi Asahi sat down next to Chiho Kirishima and handed her a bottle of water.

Kirishima Chiho paused, then smiled gently: "Thank you, Asahi-kun."

Aoi Asahi was also wearing a school swimsuit, but her figure was better than Chiho Kirishima's. Her hair was also longer; if she tied it into a ponytail, the ends would reach her waist.

If it hangs down naturally, it will reach the tip of the buttocks.

Sitting on the ground, her hair flowed freely down her shoulders.

Most of them hung down to the ground, piled together. A few strands, however, cascaded down from in front of them, rising and falling with the curves of their bodies, standing out conspicuously.

Unlike other girls, Aoi Asahi didn't fawn over Chiho Kirishima.

Instead, he seemed rather indifferent.
