Chapter 126 Rekindling the Flames of Anger

A pure white tram rumbled past them, blocking Kirishima Chiho's view and preventing her from seeing what was on the other side.

The scorching wind made her toes curl inwards, but the cotton socks made her soles feel damp and uncomfortable.

The girl said, "Today's tram is white."

“There will be old-fashioned green trams,” Xia Wuzhao said. “After all, it’s in the mountains.”

"That's true. In flat areas, you can increase the speed without restraint. But in mountainous areas, the old-fashioned green trams are safer."

Kirishima Chiho laughed, "Besides, these old-fashioned trams are often used as sightseeing vehicles. They perfectly suit our needs today, which is just sightseeing."

As they chatted, the tram that had been blocking them finally disappeared.

The black and yellow railings were raised, and the two people walked onto the tracks.

Such crossings are paved with bluestone that won't interfere with the tracks. This makes it more comfortable for pedestrians to walk on; Kirishima Chiho was wearing socks as she walked on it.

The bluestone was slightly cool, while the track was slightly warm.

The two different sensations intrigued her.

Xia Wuzhao stood beside her, watching her dawdle for a while before finally reaching the opposite side of the street.

After walking along the street for a while, we finally saw the station.

The station was a very ordinary station, neither dilapidated nor new, and the platform was much higher than the ground level.

Chiho and Natsuki Kai climbed the steps to the platform and sat down in chairs.

The girl looked down at her socks and noticed that they were covered in dust.

Chiho said, "Natsugiri, my socks are dirty."

"Then just take it off, won't that solve the problem?"

The girl frowned and said, "If that's the case, my feet will get dirty too."

"Then let's put on our shoes," Xia Wuzhao replied. "Anyway, we'll be sitting on the tram in a bit."

“Not bad.” Chiho nodded, but then she said slyly, “But you really didn’t do it on purpose, Natsugiri?”

"Are you sure you didn't do this on purpose?"

She lifted the edge of her socks and slowly pulled the black calf socks off her shins.

Her fair skin was gradually revealed in the sunlight: "First, they made me take off my shoes and walk on the street wearing only socks."

Her voice was soft and suggestive, very ambiguous.

"Now, they're making me take off my socks again."

After taking off her socks, she crumpled them up and threw them into the nearby trash can.

He braced himself on the chair with both hands and raised his legs.

He stretched his feet out forcefully, almost taut.

Under the sunlight, her skin seemed to radiate a scorching glow as she stretched out her toes with all her might.

It looks like a duck's webbed feet.

Chiho looked at Natsumi with a smile: "Is it pretty?"

Xia Wuzhao simply said, "The tram is coming soon."

Chiho just chuckled, and only after seeing that Natsugiri Kai didn't show any expression did she put on her shoes.

Although it's more uncomfortable to take off your socks and wear loafers, at least you don't have to walk, so it doesn't matter.

However, after looking around, he looked to both sides.

She said coquettishly, "No way, the tram didn't come at all."

"Really? It seems I misheard." Xia Wuzhao replied calmly.

"Really?" Chiho leaned close to Natsugiri and whispered, "Didn't you hear me? Can you hear me now? You really don't like it?"

Xia Wuzhao said calmly, "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing," the girl said with a smile. "But Xia Wu, you really can't hear me."

"Yes, that's right. I really can't hear."

Xia Wuzhao spoke softly, which made Qianhui smile slyly: "Can you hear me now?"

"We can probably hear it now." Xia Wuzhao said without the slightest hesitation.

Chiho simply smiled, with an expression of complete ease.

She relaxed her body and leaned back.

With a relaxed smile on her face, she looked at the sky and felt extremely comfortable.

"The weather is really nice today."

The girl said, "The weather is gradually getting cooler."

Xia Wuzhao said, "I guess so. Isn't summer weather always like this?"

“The weather varies from day to day,” Chiho said earnestly. “In the past, the weather was always very hot. There wasn’t a breath of wind, which made people feel uncomfortable for no reason.”

"Is it different today?" Xia Wuzhao didn't look at Qianhui.

“Yes, today is really different,” Chiho said. “Before, the world seemed to be shrouded in a thin veil. But today, it’s exceptionally fresh. It’s like a torrential rain has hit a dusty city, making you feel like the whole world has been washed clean.”

Just then, the old-fashioned green tram came clattering along.

With a hiss of the hydraulic rods, the door opened in front of the two people.

Xia Wuzhao got into the car first, and then pulled Chiho into the car as well.

She always felt uncomfortable wearing loafers barefoot.

There were very few people on the tram, only Natsuki and Chiho.

The driver gave the two people a strange look, because there were very few people on this tram at this time of day.

However, Xia Wuzhao and Chiho didn't pay attention to this matter, but instead found a place to sit down.

Chiho sat by the window, and a slightly cool breeze blew in after she opened the window.

Looking at Chiho's appearance, Xia Wuzhao asked, "Is this your first time out?"

"Yes, this is my first time out," Chiho said with a smile. "Especially at this time of day, and it's also my first time riding a tram."

Speaking of this, Chiho leaned against the window and looked at the scenery outside, saying, "In the past, I always sat in the car. But even in the car, I still had to study. Occasionally, I could look out through the window with the sunshade film on, but most of the time it was the familiar streets I had seen a thousand times."

"Sometimes I wonder what it feels like to sit in a car with the window open. After all, I'm always looking at the world outside through the window."

"So, I'm really looking forward to this. I never thought I'd have this opportunity."

Chiho said, "But today, I can finally fulfill my wish."

She was in the wind, her crimson hair fluttering in the breeze.

"Is this all you wish for?" Xia Wuzhao said calmly, "Just to sit in a car and open the window?"

Chiho said, "Yeah, it's only this small."

That's really disappointing.

Although Natsugiri Kai said that, Chiho said, "We're on a date now, let's not talk about these things anymore, it'll ruin the atmosphere."

"So, what do you want to do?"

Xia Wuzhao asked the same question again.

Chiho looked at Natsugiri Kai and pretended to be angry, saying, "You always do this, pushing all the choices and responsibilities onto me."

“Because no matter what, you always have to make a choice, don’t you?” Xia Wuzhao said, “No matter when, no matter what you have to face.”

The girl smiled gently and said in a meaningful tone, "Xiawu, you always make the atmosphere so heavy. Today is supposed to be a relaxed date, but you always bring up such heavy topics."

"You've completely ruined the atmosphere of our date."

Xia Wuzhao looked at Chiho leaning against the window and said, "So you can't keep up the act anymore? You always act like you don't care about anything, and you like to use that flippant tone and cunning smile to disguise yourself."

"But actually, you still care, don't you? Otherwise, you would know what I'm talking about."

His words were somewhat cold.

“Perhaps it really is,” Chiho said with a smile; “But why bring this up all of a sudden?”

"Where did I go wrong?"

As the girl spoke, her crimson eyes gazing at Xia Wuzhao, she whispered, "If I've done something wrong, just tell me, and I'll change."

Looking at the girl in this state, Xia Wuzhao said softly, "You are not wrong."

"That's really strange," the girl said with a reserved smile. "You're not wrong, and I'm not wrong either. So, then who is wrong?"

"Who knows?" Xia Wuzhao did not give an answer.

Chiho's tone remained unchanged, still carrying a faint hint of flippancy and deathly silence: "So, do you hate me now?"

“Yes, I hate you right now,” Xia Wuzhao said. “I hate your extremely humble wish. I hate your tone, I hate your humility, I hate your indifference.”

"It seems our relationship is coming to an end," Chiho said. "I never thought it would end on our first date, especially since you hate me so much."

She sighed, but suddenly felt a sense of relief.

This is a kind of ease that comes without expectation.

"It's fine to keep things the way they were before; without expectations, there will be no disappointment."

The girl thought to herself.

But Xia Wuzhao asked the girl strangely, "Why do we have to end this?"

Chiho was taken aback. She looked at Natsugiri and asked in a puzzled tone, "Didn't we just have a fight?"

"Yes."

"Didn't you just say you hated me?"

"Yes."

"So, shouldn't we end our relationship?"

"So, why end it?" Xia Wuzhao said, "Even though I hate you, I never said I wanted to end our relationship. You're the one talking about ending it all."

"Chiho, you're overthinking it."

Xia Wuzhao even sneered, mocking Kirishima Chiho's self-delusion and her tendency to overcomplicate things.

Chiho stared blankly at Natsumi, not expecting to receive such an answer.

"I thought it was all over, and I had completely given up."

"But then I realized it was all just wishful thinking on my part."

How would I feel?

Chiho had this question in her mind, but then she answered it to herself.

"It was a feeling of shame and anger I had never experienced before."

Looking at Xia Wuzhao's expressionless face, she suddenly leaned on Xia Wuzhao's neck and bit her shoulder hard.

Xia Wuzhao's eyes twitched, but she didn't say anything.

He simply let the girl named Kirishima Chiho bite him.

"A flame called anger was reignited within her."

It hurt so much when she bit down that she almost bit off a piece of flesh.

The sharp fangs cut through the skin, and scarlet blood flowed out.

The taste of rust spread through Kirishima Chiho's mouth, her lips turning a deep red.

She giggled, "Does it hurt? Actually, it hurts just as much as it does you."

Chiho took a square-shaped band-aid out of her pocket and stuck it on Natsugiri Kai's shoulder.
