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

"..."

Kaori didn't respond to me.

That's fine, I just need to finish what I think, and then let her decide.

"Xaori, as your ex-boyfriend and your current friend. Please listen carefully to my next words."

"..."

"Hey, do you remember what we said the day we first dated?"

"You once said that you were willing to give up everything in your family just to be by my side."

"I also promise you that as long as it is to protect you, I will give everything I have, including my life."

"We agreed with each other that in the rest of our lives, we will never be separated by any force. Even if your parents attack again, we will fight desperately."

"So, when you broke up with me last year, my heart was so painful that I almost fainted. I believe that you also have similar feelings."

"However, you are telling me now that you broke up with me because you were sick? And it's not a terminal illness, but a curable disease with high medical expenses?"

"Just kidding, it's not like that."

"The reason why you broke up with me is definitely not because of a simple illness."

"I don't know what your purpose is to come here now and tell me about this matter. But whether you want to say that you are not sick at all, or that the disease has been cured, there is only one question I want to ask .”

"You...do you really still like me, love me?"

The stunned senior sister and the petite and fragile body hiding behind her stopped moving at the same time and fell into a daze.

Senior sister's expression became very strange, as if she just realized something, her slightly bloodshot eyes opened wide.

As for Kaori, since she was still hiding behind Senpai, I couldn't see her expression clearly.But judging from her lowered head from just now, she should be struggling violently.

Hesitating, whether to answer my very sharp question from this angle.

Obviously Kaori was troubled by this question of mine, and even said that she was in pain, but even though my heart was already feeling sad about it, I still didn't take any action.

Kaori, she is not such a fragile girl.Now that I have mustered up the courage to come here with my senior sister and tell me the truth about the breakup, it means that she has plans to get back together with me.

It's nice to be happily reunited with her again, but if we don't solve the most fundamental problems before then, our relationship will not be smooth sailing.

Next time I encounter this kind of similar thing, I'm afraid it's not just a simple breakup.

Even friends, will not be able to do it.

"I... like you..."

Kaori's voice is quite small, so small that I wouldn't be able to detect it if the room was not very quiet now.

But she had answered, and that was enough.

Since she is sure that she still likes me, that is enough.

From now on, as long as I respond happily to this, Kaori, whom I love deeply, will return to my side again.

Feeling extremely joyful and excited inside, I tremblingly opened my mouth.

"—Really? Thank you so much for liking me like this."

"Hmm... So, even if you think I'm shameless or ungrateful, Li Ling, can you date me again?"

Having basically returned to normal, Kaori, who was still nervous with a little joy in her tone, poked her head out from behind her senior.

So, she noticed my expression, and her face instantly turned pale.

The senior sister's expression became tense in an instant, and she wanted to cover my mouth in a panic to prevent me from saying the next thing.

However, it was too late.

—She didn't say she loved me.Just, still love me.

And the relationship between me and her is no longer a simple liking, it can be redeemed.

It's impossible for the clever Kaori not to understand the meaning of my words, so the moment she answered, our relationship was irretrievable.

So, words that were completely opposite to my mood at the moment came out of my mouth without hindrance.

"Sorry, let's just be friends."

Looking at the two people who became terrified and helpless because of my words, I felt an indescribable joy and relaxation in my heart.

Sick and want to break up with me?Still love me after breaking up?When I gradually returned to normal life, made another request to get back with me?

Ahh, the reasons are good enough, I can't even find a reason to reject Kaori.

— But so what?

The one who has had enough of this painful relationship for both of them is not Kaori, but me.

I don't want to bear this kind of mutual scruples anymore.

Since you can't give the other party happiness, but still love the other party deeply.

So, I choose to stop there.The relationship between the two is best to remain as friends.

I'm such a scumbag that I can relax so much while thinking this way.
