I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

Xia Wuzhao said this.

-----------------

Kirishima Chiho was washing up in the bathroom, not only on her neck, but also on her arms and collarbone.

It took her a long time to clean it.

When I returned to the clubroom soaking wet, I ran into Asahi Aoi, who was leaving.

"Have you found the book yet?"

Kirishima Chiho asked curiously.

"Hmm," Aoi responded softly, then reminded her about her mother.

Chiho Kirishima smiled with delight.

A little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disappearance.

Finally, she said gently, "Thank you, Aoi. I will be careful."

Looking at the expression on Kirishima Chiho's face, Asahi Aoi suddenly felt a pang of regret.

"Perhaps I shouldn't have reminded her at all. Since the future is bound to be painful, maybe it's the right thing to do to enjoy it to the fullest now."

"Constantly worrying about future suffering will turn the present into a quagmire of pain."

Aoi Asahi looked at Chiho Kirishima and said earnestly, "I'm sorry."

Kirishima Chiho said in surprise, "What do you have to apologize for? You reminded me of this, I should be thanking you."

“It’s my fault,” Aoi Asahi said. “I’m the one who put you in trouble prematurely.”

Chiho smiled gently: "If you hadn't told me, then perhaps I simply didn't know about this."

Just as she was about to say something, Aoi shook her head.

They left immediately.

Kirishima Chiho said to her, "Aoi, you are such a kind girl."

Aoi Asahi didn't turn around, but still raised her hand and waved in a dashing manner.

Her hair fluttered like a trembling flag.

Back at the club, Kirishima Chiho combed her slightly damp hair.

When the clock struck 6:20.

The two were just about to leave when they locked the door.

Kirishima Chiho gave Natsuki Kai a key to the literature club.

Xia Wuzhao glanced at the key in the sunlight; it was wrapped in black duct tape. The words "Literature Department" were written on it in red pen.

The girl asked, "Is this the first time you've ever gotten a girl's key?"

Her smile was sly and teasing.

"I guess so," Xia Wuzhao replied.

Chiho Kirishima said, "You'd better keep it safe, because a lot of boys really want keys given by girls."

Chapter 117 A Suffocating Bond Like a Spider Web

As I went downstairs, I saw Kirishima Yoshiko; she had just finished complaining to a teacher.

His expression was extremely smug.

When she saw Xia Wuzhao, she didn't give her a friendly look either.

Upon seeing her daughter, Chiho, Yoshiko rushed over.

She knelt down abruptly, saying worriedly, "Are you tired today? Look, your dress is all dirty. Did something happen?"

Her words were full of worry as she kept patting Kirishima Chiho's skirt, trying to brush off the dust.

Kirishima Chiho stood there and said gently, "You don't have to do that, Mom."

"Why don't you do that? Your skirt is covered in dust. Let me pat it off for you."

As Yoshiko spoke, she patted the camera for a long time before standing up when her knees started to hurt.

The expensive dress suffered several holes at the knees from the movement, and blood was rubbed off her knees.

"Oh no, it's bleeding."

She exclaimed in apparent surprise before pulling Kirishima Chiho back into the car.

Kirishima Chiho glanced at Natsugiri Kai and wanted to wave to him.

However, he ultimately did not raise his hand.

He could only smile at Xia Wuzhao.

Xia Wuzhao didn't go to see her; she simply walked out of the school gate.

Yoshiko snorted, somewhat smugly.

"No matter how impressive they sound, don't they become inferior when they see our car?"

She spoke in a tone that Kirishima Chiho could hear, but in a "muttering" manner.

He secretly glanced at Kirishima Chiho's reaction, but found that the girl did not react at all.

There was no disappointment, nor any unhappiness.

"Did I do something wrong again? He looks like this."

Kirishima Chiho chuckled and pinched her hair.

"But that's always how he is. He always prefers to let others guess, to figure it out for themselves, and to understand it for themselves."

"If you want me to do something, just say so."

"But I know he will never explain it clearly. It's as if what he says is not the same as what he understands."

She glanced at Xia Wuzhao's retreating figure before getting into the car.

Yoshiko deliberately leaned against Kirishima Chiho, her legs tilted to one side.

The bleeding knees and the ripped clothes were all reflected in the girl's eyes.

Just like a red-hot branding iron, the white mist, carrying heat and a burnt smell, fell heavily into my pupils.

Following the rich, spiderweb-like network of nerves, my mind felt as if it were boiling.

It makes your eyes feel heavy.

Yoshiko sighed and groaned, deliberately inhaling deeply every now and then. Then she would look like she was in great pain, fidgeting and making a lot of noise.

But she kept talking about the plans for tonight: "What do you want to eat tonight? Mom will make it for you."

Muttering to herself, her voice was full of love.

Chiho felt the moisture in her body being slowly drained away by this burning love, leaving her mouth and tongue dry and withered, like dried wood.

With a hoarse voice, her straight back gradually bent: "Mom, you're hurt."

"Oh, it really is like that." Yoshiko's face showed pride, joy, and composure.

She said softly, "It's okay, it's just a small wound. I can get it treated when I get home."

"Ah."

-----------------

After Asahi Aoi re-registered the book and put it back on the bookshelf,

But I hesitated.

"I misspoke earlier; I should at least go and see what the specific situation is like."

The girl wanted compensation.

When it was closing time, she quickly closed the library and locked the door.

She ran quickly toward the school gate, her movements incredibly light and agile.

Even though he ran all the way to the school gate, he wasn't even out of breath or red in the face.

She saw what Kirishima's mother said and watched Kirishima Chiho get into the car.

Watching the car pass by Xia Wuzhao, I even saw Jiazi's smug and mocking smile as it passed by.

I also saw Xia Wuzhao's indifferent expression.

"It's practically an empty shell."

A strange feeling arose in her heart, and she quickly caught up with Xia Wuzhao and came to her side.

"Just now, you didn't do anything?"

Aoi asked softly, "You should be the kind of person who isn't afraid of Kirishima-mama, right?"

Xia Wuzhao glanced at her and said, "Do you really enjoy meddling in other people's business?"

"You're the one who made me her friend, so I'm going to get involved in Chiho's affairs and take charge of them."

The girl said it was only natural.

"Do you think she needs to do this?" Xia Wuzhao said. "Sometimes, you might be just being delusional."

"Even if I were to act presumptuously, what would happen?" Aoi Asahi said without the slightest hesitation, "Even if I did act presumptuously, Chiho Kirishima would only scold me. What if something dangerous happened because I didn't do it?"

"That's what I care about and regret."

Xia Wuzhao glanced at her and said, "Then you are such a kind person."

After saying that, Xia Wuzhao went straight down the slope.

Do you hate it when I do this?

The girl asked curiously.

"I don't hate it, I just feel it's meaningless," Xia Wuzhao said. "Even if you help this once, what about next time? And the time after that?"

“Next time, I will still help. And the time after that, I will help too.” Asahi Aoi looked at Natsugiri Kai earnestly and said, “Because she is my friend, I will help her.”

Xia Wuzhao stopped and took a serious look at the girl in front of her.

He couldn't help but chuckle.

"What's so funny about that?"

Aoi frowned, looking somewhat unhappy.

"What's the point of what you're doing? Even if you help Kirishima Chiho once, even if you help her a thousand times, what's the use?"

Xia Wuzhao's eyes were extremely indifferent: "You're only doing this for yourself, to satisfy your pity for Kirishima Chiho. And pity is a kind of charity that the strong bestow upon the weak."

"Perhaps that really is the case."

Aoi didn't deny it, but she said somewhat angrily, "But you're the one who made me her friend. You should know my style of dealing with people. When you made me her friend, you should have known what I would do."

“If you don’t want me to do that kind of thing, then don’t ask me to be her friend.”

Aoi Asahi was a little unhappy. She said, "I don't understand what you want to do at all, Natsugiri Kai."

"I feel like you're toying with Kirishima Chiho. You're clearly lovers, but you're colder than strangers. Do you think gentleness is a sin?"

Looking at the sunflower in front of her, Natsugiri Kai originally wanted to leave immediately.

But because the sunflower was in front of him, he didn't leave immediately.

He said, "That's right, gentleness is a sin. Gentleness is a useless thing; it only earns others' praise and vanity by compromising oneself."

"Gentleness can erode a person's anger; gentleness can make a person weak. Gentleness can make a person care too much about the opinions of others and neglect their own."

"Gentleness is merely a lubricant needed by others in society, not the molten iron that one needs."

"A traveler suffering from thirst in the desert does not need a sip of gentle water. What he needs is a body that can persevere through hardship and torment, even under the weight of a tyrant's will."

He said this, looking at Aoi Asahi: "Are you satisfied now?"

The girl stared at Xia Wuzhao in front of her, somewhat dazed.

He blurted out, "Then you are truly pathetic and twisted."
