"Besides, you two are very close. You're always walking together. If that's not a romantic relationship, then what is?"

However, Xia Wuzhao still did not admit it.

Chosoku was discouraged and stopped saying such things.

Chiho was surrounded by a crowd of girls, all of whom had various things they wanted Chiho to help them with.

Chiho smiled gently: "Okay, I'll help you."

This prompted cheers from the girls: "As expected, the class monitor is the best!"

They were all smiling.

However, one girl wanted to ask for a day off from class.

Kirishima Chiho asked her, "What are you doing now?"

The girl was a little embarrassed, and she whispered in Kirishima Chiho's ear, "Let's go on a date."

"Ok?"

Kirishima Chiho looked at the girl in front of her, somewhat hesitant.

The girl hurriedly whispered, "A boy confessed his feelings to me, and we made plans to go on a date before noon today."

She was very embarrassed and pleaded, "Class monitor, please help me."

"A date? Is it that important?" Kirishima Chiho said, "It's about skipping class."

"Because it's a promise," the girl said earnestly, looking at Kirishima Chiho. "But if Class President had a lover, she would understand."

"I feel a sweet happiness in my heart, and I value every promise we make. I want to be together forever."

The girl said sweetly.

"I can agree to your request, but only once." Kirishima Chiho finally agreed to the girl's request: "You can't do this next time, after all, it's deceiving the teacher."

"Oh, thank you so much, class monitor."

The girl cheered softly.

"Her face was full of anticipation, she seemed to be obsessed, and her eyes were filled with him."

Kirishima Chiho thought of herself and Natsugiri Kai again.

"Do I have that kind of feeling with Xia Wu?"

She thought about it carefully, but there was nothing.

Ultimately, even Chiho Kirishima didn't understand what a lover was.

She only understood the definition, not the facts.

The truth should be something vague and beautiful, something that cannot be expressed in words.

"Perhaps I should sneak a peek. See how other couples do it."

"Perhaps this experience will be useful between Xia Wu and me."

Chapter 122 Shining with a refreshing minty scent

That's really what she thought, but there was a constraint before that.

She never skipped class, nor did she ever follow anyone.

She was a good student at school.

At school, she was an angelic class monitor.

These things restrained her, preventing her from doing anything out of line.

But this constraint was not imposed on her by others.

Rather, it was a constraint she imposed on herself.

—Because this is what her mother expects, she has to do it.

She hesitated for a long time, but then she thought of her mother's love.

"That love was such a heavy love, even though I knew my mother did it to control me. Even though I knew that the purpose of that love was not pure, that love was still love."

"Love does not cease to be love because of good or bad intentions."

Kirishima Chiho thought this way, and she saw it so clearly.

Yet, I feel so powerless.

She possesses both the power and the courage to resist.

But they were bound by constraints, and could only watch themselves gradually sink into the mire.

It was probably because of despair, it was probably because of giving up.

She never thought of resisting, even though she clearly understood her fate.

But it remains the same.

Looking at the conflicted Kirishima Chiho, Asahi Aoi said, "If you're hesitating about whether to grant that girl leave, then don't grant her leave."

Is this something that's difficult to handle?

Although she was looking at a book, she spoke clearly and deliberately.

Kirishima Chiho looked at Asahi Aoi, shook her head and said, "Asahi, I'm not bothered by that girl's request for leave."

"Oh?" Aoi twirled her pencil. "So what's troubling you? As a friend, I might be able to help you resolve some of your questions."

"Perhaps, she really can help me."

"I remember her family; it was worse than mine."

—This is clearly not something to be thankful for, but Kirishima Chiho couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

—I'm glad that Asahi's family is a little worse off than mine.

When you're in pain, seeing others suffering even more than you makes it seem as if your own pain lessens or disappears.

But even with these thoughts, Chiho felt distressed and regretful.

I think I've changed.

—She realized this once again.

But she didn't think it was because she was gloating, but because she was troubled by another kind of feeling.

"I actually had the idea that Asahi could solve my problems, I actually wanted to ask Asahi for help. I actually wanted to rely on someone else!"

"I shouldn't be like this."

"I was actually trying to deceive myself, trying to get an answer from Aoi Asahi."

"I didn't want to think about anything, just that once Aoi gave me an answer, I would do as she said."

"Have I really become this weak?"

Kirishima Chiho thought to herself, and felt a sense of panic.

She was afraid that her angelic face would shatter, afraid that she would let her mother down.

"It's clearly just a small matter, clearly just something related to Xia Wu."

She was extremely conflicted; her lips moved, but she couldn't utter a single word.

Aoi glanced at her: "Are you hesitating?"

Before Kirishima Chiho could answer, she said definitively, "You are indeed hesitating, though I don't know what the problem is that's causing your hesitation."

"But actually, when you hesitate, you've already made a decision. Your current hesitation is just weighing the gains and losses."

"But if you just stay where you are, you will never gain anything or get anything."

Asahi Aoi said this.

But Kirishima Chiho asked, "Are these all your experiences?"

“It’s based on my experience,” Aoi Asahi said casually.

"But is your experience really useful to me?" Kirishima Chiho subconsciously resisted.

The more she wanted to get the answer she wanted, the more conflicted she became.

Whether it works or not, we'll only know by trying.

Aoi Asahi showed no annoyance at Kirishima Chiho's questions.

Kirishima Chiho looked at Asahi Aoi, still hesitant and uncertain.

Asahi Aoi glanced at Kirishima Chiho and said, "If you still can't make up your mind, then go ask Natsugiri Kai."

She gave Kirishima Chiho this idea.

—Because it's very suitable, we tend to trust the words of those close to us more than those of others.

"Natsugiri Kai?"

Kirishima Chiho murmured silently.

She often gets distracted during class. When the teacher notices, she simply taps on the desk to remind her.

She wouldn't specifically scold Kirishima Chiho.

Until the end of the second period, during this longer break.

Kirishima Chiho finally found Natsugiri Kai.

She said, "Do you know what love is?"

Xia Wuzhao said, "I don't know."

"Oh?" She smiled. "I see. Would you like to learn from this? A girl is going on a date today. Perhaps we can take a look."

As she said this, she said slyly to Xia Wuzhao, "You should know that this is a rare opportunity."

Xia Wuzhao asked, "Are you inviting me?"

The girl frowned: "If not, you're not going?"

“Yes,” Xia Wuzhao said; “I wouldn’t have gone if I hadn’t been invited.”

Chiho stuck out her tongue and said, "You just want to shift the blame onto me."

"So, will you agree?"

Xia Wuzhao looked at Chiho.

Chiho hesitated for a moment.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally said, "Okay, consider it my invitation."

"When?" Xia Wuzhao asked, looking at Qianhui.

"During the fourth period," Chiho said, but then added slyly, "but you have to do something for me too."

"What is it?"

“It’s very simple.” The girl stood on tiptoe: “There’s no one around right now, so no one will see us.”

After saying that, she closed her eyes and tilted her chin slightly upward.

Chiho Kirishima could see right through what Natsugiri Kai wanted her to do.

Xia Wuzhao stared at Kirishima Chiho, but hesitated to make a move.

Chiho said with dissatisfaction, "What are you still hesitating about, Natsugiri?"

Xia Wu looked around and, after confirming that there was really no one else, finally kissed her.

The girl's lips were soft and cool.

The applied lip balm has a slightly sweet scent.

But as soon as the girl opened her lips, Xia Wuzhao released her.

Chiho was somewhat disappointed and unhappy.

But she still reluctantly said, "Actually, what I want you to do is tell me what flavor my lip balm tastes like."

"Mint flavor," Xia Wuzhao answered without hesitation.
