I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

Asahi looked at Natsugiri Kai and said this.

"Why wouldn't you dare?" Xia Wuzhao said, "I bet you're just bluffing. You don't actually dare to stab anyone. The reason you're holding this art knife so steadily is to prevent actually hurting someone, isn't it?"

"Aoi is a good girl, and this is the most she can do."

Xia Wuzhao looked at Asahi Aoi, at her expressionless face.

Looking at the wavering in her chestnut eyes.

The girl said seriously, "I really will stab you."

"Oh? Is that so?" Xia Wuzhao said indifferently, "You have emphasized countless times that you like your current life. Doesn't killing someone disrupt your current life? You should be very smart. You wouldn't do something so stupid."

He reached out and took the art knife from Aoi Asahi's hand, placing it on the sofa armrest.

"Next time you threaten someone, don't bring up murder. It will only make you seem like you're putting on airs and are all bark and no bite."

"This moment feels somewhat familiar."

Aoi frowned and thought for a moment, but couldn't think of anything at all.

She looked at Xia Wuzhao and finally said seriously, "At this moment, you can say whatever you want. Because I failed, my threats didn't make you reveal what you did to me. As a loser, I deserve to be taught a lesson however you like."

“I might not have done anything at all,” Xia Wuzhao said, looking at Asahi Aoi. “How can you be so sure that I did something to you?”

"Your image is on my mind every night. Didn't you do something to me?" Aoi said, "Do you think I, Aoi, am a wanton girl who can like a stranger so much that I can't forget him day and night?"

"No, absolutely not."

"I am absolutely not a promiscuous woman like my mother. I am different from my mother. I would rather die than become like her!"

"I am Asahi, I am Asahi of Asahi."

As she said this, she put on her sun hat and prepared to leave.

"I will definitely find out what happened."

Asahi Aoi said this with absolute certainty, and then looked at Natsugiri Kai: "Although I am quite certain that you used underhanded means, I did not catch you doing anything wrong today."

"Although it's embarrassing, I, Aoi Asahi, am not an unreasonable person."

As she spoke, she bent down and said to Xia Wuzhao, "I'm very sorry for threatening you today."

Xia Wuzhao looked at her like this without any reaction: "So, it's just an apology?"

“I can help you once, however much I can,” Aoi Asahi said.

Looking at Asahi Aoi like this, Xia Wuzhao said, "Very well, now it's time for you to fulfill this promise."

"What do you want?" Aoi Asahi straightened up and said seriously to Kai Natsugiri, "I will only help you once. If this condition does not meet my expectations, I will absolutely not agree."

“It’s very simple,” Natsuki Kai said. “I need you to help Kirishima Chiho.”

"she?"

The girl frowned: "Does she need my help?"

She needs your help.

"How can I help her?" Aoi asked.

“Just become her friend,” Xia Wuzhao said. “After that, you can handle it as you see fit.”

Aoi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I will become her true friend."

After she finished speaking, she prepared to leave.

But as she was getting ready to leave, she said, "Why should I be her friend?"

"Because you're suitable," Xia Wuzhao replied calmly.

"Hoo hoo hoo." Asahi Aoi turned to look at Natsugiri Kai: "Is it because of my family background?"

Xia Wuzhao did not answer.

The girl adjusted her sun hat and looked at the sun: "I'm increasingly convinced that the hallucinations and strange dreams I've been having are all your doing."

"After all, you know me too well."

Asahi Aoi said, "But I don't remember us having many interactions."

"Have I forgotten something?"

The girl asked.

Xia Wuzhao deliberately said, "That's just your guess. Why don't you investigate it yourself? For example, ask Yokokawa Jun."

"You're so confident, you must have already discussed it with Yokokawa-sensei, right?" Asahi Aoi said, "If that's the case, what's the point of me asking Yokokawa Jun-sensei?"

“If you’ve already discussed it with Ms. Yokokawa, then I won’t bother asking her at all. She’s been very kind to me, and I don’t need to put her in a difficult position.”

With that, she finally left Xia Wuzhao's house.

Standing outside the door, she took a deep breath.

"Indeed, it's very strange."

The girl murmured, "His behavior is so strange. We shouldn't have a close relationship. But why would he let me tour his room so freely?"

"If he likes my looks, he should do more with the conditions I agreed to."

The girl racked her brains, but ultimately couldn't grasp the key point.

In the end, he could only sigh inwardly, "Since I'm going to become friends with Kirishima Chiho, I might as well give it a try. But that girl won't become friends with me so easily."

"However, perhaps I can verify my own claims by looking at what happened to Kirishima Chiho."

Asahi Aoi was lost in thought, she also regretted threatening him with a knife.

However, without threatening them, they absolutely cannot obtain further information.

She finally smiled confidently: "What's the use of regretting it? Since it's done, let's move on."

After Asahi Aoi left, Natsugiri Kai placed the art knife in the last room.

Put it together with the ring.

Xiao Ai asked, "Lord Xia Wu, this sunflower has really changed."

"Isn't this normal?" Xia Wuzhao said dismissively, sipping his tea and thinking about Kirishima Chiho.

When they were in the seaside town, Keiko wasn't strict with Asahi Sunflower.

He used to have plenty of time to influence Aoi, but things are different now. The only time he can see Kirishima Chiho is at school and at night.

Moreover, what she needs is not despair.

She is not afraid of despair, but rather delighted by it.

All she needs is desire.

Only desire can drive her to take action.

Therefore, we must find another person who can influence Kirishima Chiho.

Sunflowers would be perfect.

Looking at Xia Wuzhao's indifferent expression, Xiao Ai could only say, "Lord Xia Wuzhao, it seems like you're deliberately luring Asahi Aoi here."

"Oh? Why would I seduce her?"

Xia Wuzhao said, "I have no need to do such a thing."

“If it weren’t necessary, you wouldn’t have deliberately brought the doll to school.” Xiao Ai muttered, “Getting close to the doll will cause the seal to loosen. These past few days, she has been tormented by overlapping dreams and hallucinations.”

That's why I came here.

Xia Wuzhao listened and then said, "But you still haven't said why I'm doing this."

"It's for Kirishima Chiho, isn't it, Natsugiri-sama?" Ai said. "Kirishima Chiho must be putting you in a difficult position, which is why you want Asahi Aoi to become a lamp so that Kirishima Chiho can see the light. But, will this really save Kirishima Chiho?"

"Perhaps, but things won't end that simply."

Xia Wuzhao replied to Xiao Ai: "Kirishima Chiho and Asahi Aoi are not the same, or rather, she sees things more clearly than Asahi Aoi."

"Is that so, Lady Natsugiri?" Ai asked. "Then, what do you think Kirishima Chiho needs?"

“What Kirishima Chiho needs is not courage,” Natsuki Kai said. “Or rather, she inherently possesses courage. Or rather, she has the will to die.”

"Of course she knew her mother was wrong, of course she knew that if she resisted, she might be able to break free from these constraints, and of course she knew she was capable of doing so."

"But she doesn't want to do that."

After hearing this, Xiao Ai asked in confusion, "Why is that? Shouldn't everyone be pursuing happiness?"

"It's probably similar to the feeling of proving one's innocence by dying," Xia Wuzhao said. "There are always some things in the world that we know are wrong, but we still do them anyway."

"Perhaps it's backbone."

"This is also her dignity; she would rather endure torture than lose her dignity."

Xia Wuzhao said calmly, "Her mother may be an incompetent mother, but she doesn't want to be an incompetent daughter."

Xiao Ai just listened and couldn't help but shake her head: "This is really incomprehensible."

Chapter 109 Pride is like fire and water

Chiho Kirishima also needs to work non-stop on Saturdays and Sundays, going from one tutoring class to another every day.

But her mother kindly gave her time to rest, so she didn't need to go running in the evenings.

You can rest at home.

This is not a good thing for Kirishima Chiho.

However, she did not object.

She was more tired on Saturdays and Sundays than on other days.

I'm feeling a bit listless.

More importantly, she was separated from Xia Wuzhao. After not seeing Xia Wuzhao for two days, she felt a little anxious.

"I shouldn't be like this, not even when I first met Xia Wuzhao. Not even when I knew Xia Wuzhao could help me, I didn't feel this anxious."

"However, the more time I spent with him, the heavier my anxiety became."

"The longer it goes on, the more uneasy and impatient I become."

"I shouldn't have done that."

"However, the longer we spent together, the clearer I realized one thing—Xia Wuzhao really could fulfill my wish."

"The more this is the case, the more impatient I become."

"But this shouldn't be the case."

Sitting in the car, watching the scenery along the way.

Her heart was beating slightly faster, and she felt a little excited.

But this actually made her feel a little panicked and uneasy.

After all, this shouldn't be the case.

"Chiho, what are you thinking about?" Yoshiko said with dissatisfaction; "At such a crucial moment, you're just spacing out?"

"Do you know that the first year of high school is the most important year, the year to lay a solid foundation? If you don't work hard during this time, your life is over."

She kept talking on and on, letting Kirishima Chiho listen.

Kirishima Chiho didn't stop her; she just listened attentively. Only when her mother seemed tired of talking did she say, "Mom, I understand."

Yoshiko checked Kirishima Chiho's work while asking her questions in English.

When they arrived at the school gate, things finally calmed down a bit.

Suppressing her excitement, Kirishima Chiho stood in the sunlight, listening to her mother's instructions.

This instruction was no different from any other ordinary instruction.

Yoshiko didn't linger this time; instead, she left immediately. There was a gathering of wealthy women today, and she didn't want to be late.

Chiho remained standing in the same spot, maintaining a gentle smile.

She only relaxed after the car turned and drove away.

But then he was startled again.
