Falling in Love with a Sick Girlfriend Twenty Years Younger Than Me

What's wrong with me... I was tied up in such a deep mountain and forest just for this reason?Be reasonable, okay? . . . .

"...Well, forget it."

"Eh? Just let me go?"

"Well...you can restore your relationship with your family, which is better than anything else in my eyes."

"..."

Asuna, who was so worried by me, made peace with her family earlier than I thought... Even such a small child can do such a thing, so why should I not go? Work hard for the future?

Asuna, it's really nice that you can go back to a happy life... it's nice...

Feeling a burst of relief in my heart, I couldn't help looking up and laughing at the night sky.

"Hehe...hehe...ahhahahaha..."

Sure enough... in this annoying world, there is still such a thing.

I'll do it a little bit, and work harder.

After that, a few days passed.

The speed of the Hayakawa clan's arrival was much later than we expected, and we don't know if it was because someone was blocking them, or it was simply not so eager to let Asuna go back.

But... these are all irrelevant.

Asuna and I have exchanged a lot of thoughts while enjoying the beauty of the mountains and fields for the past few days when we reunited after a long absence.Now, we have already said almost what we want to say to each other.

So...for the first time, we knew each other's place in each other's hearts.

I don't really hate Asuna, I even like it.But if you want to raise this love to the level of communication... I still can't accept it for the time being.Because I always feel that if I date Asuna now, I will lose something very important.

Asuna's side...is paying more attention to me than I expected.

According to her words, if the relationship between her and her family had temporarily eased because of what happened some time ago, she would definitely not have given up on me easily.But, now... After several days of communication, she finally promised me that she would decide whether to stick to her feelings after finishing university.

And by that time... I must have come out of the shadows of Kaori and the others, and can pursue my own happiness, right?

"..."

"Huh? What's the matter, uncle? You look more lost than me?"

"Have it?"

"En! Uncle's dejected look shocked me!"

Hearing Asuna's words, I subconsciously touched my face and found that it was a little stiff.

So, I laughed at myself a little helplessly: "Ah, yes, right now, I might be really lost."

"Eh!? This, this is to say, the uncle admitted that he actually likes me, doesn't he want to separate from me!? I will contact the family immediately and ask them to prepare-"

I smiled and glanced at the excited Asuna, I said deliberately.

"—The vacation given by the company is about to end. When I think of leaving this wonderful place for vacation today, I always feel empty in my heart."

Asuna's movements froze immediately, she turned around to look at me like a machine, and then complained with a very aggrieved expression: "Really... I'm going to talk to this super guy soon~ The beautiful girls are separated, but the uncle doesn't talk about the atmosphere at all! I don't care about you, hum!"

"..."

Knowing that she was just making a fuss, I sighed slightly and ignored her.

Turning my head, I looked out the window again at the courtyard.Listening to the sound of running water from the courtyard and the sound of the bamboo tube hitting the bluestone, my spirit gradually relaxed.

......a long time.

I kept my eyes closed, and said to Asuna, who was struggling beside him, "Is it alright on the school side? Are you not going to take an entrance exam to Dongda University?"

"Huh? Ahhhh."

Asuna was obviously a little surprised, and didn't understand what I meant by asking this sentence.

I opened my eyes, looked at her nervously and said, "Don't be nervous, Asuna. That's the school you decided to go to, so there's no need to be nervous, right?"

"Say, that's what I said." Asuna sat down a little stiffly and stammered: "But, but, with my current grades, whether I can pass the test is still a question... "

"Huh? Won't your family help you?"

"Yeah. They said [if you can't even do such a simple thing, it proves that your determination is only that level.] They didn't intend to help me. Although the tuition fee will be paid for me."

"Um...is that so."

In other words, whether Asuna can be admitted to Dongda University will directly affect her future life?

......

Subconsciously, I want to say some words of encouragement, and I subconsciously think of a professor who has a good relationship with Dongda... If I secretly help her, it will probably greatly improve her chances of being admitted to Dongda?You must know that a recommendation letter from within Dongda University is much more valuable than scores.

"..."

But... if I did that, it would always feel as if I had trampled on her determination, and I would feel a sudden burst of heartbreak.

So, this idea only lasted in my mind for more than ten seconds, and then it was thrown out of my mind.

Now, just give her encouragement and believe that she can pass the exam.

"Well... Come on, Asuna. With your grades, as long as you study hard for the exam, you will definitely be admitted!"
