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

Cherry blossoms all over Tokyo are still in full bloom.

The number of tourists coming from all over the world not only did not decrease, but more and more. Such a grand occasion made tourism workers, big and small, bend over with laughter.

It's just that people gather under the blooming cherry trees, how many people can notice the petals that have withered ahead of time under their feet?

Even though they were once beautiful, they are now just trampled, worthless trash.

This is always a little-known and insignificant thing.

Chapter 1 The younger generation has an appointment

April, a month between spring and summer, makes Japanese people love or hate it.

What I love is that it makes the beautiful cherry blossoms scattered all over Japan, sooner or later, gradually show their most beautiful posture to people, providing travelers with a rare place to enjoy flowers with friends Great place to talk.

What I hate is that as long as this month passes, it means the rainy season is coming.At that time, the bad weather that rained almost every day and continuous overtime work, accompanied by May sickness, brought indescribable mental pressure to the employees who were working.

In addition, because the temperature is gradually warming up, many young people with little experience always put on thin shirts early, thinking that they are ahead of others.But often because of the drop in temperature caused by a sudden strong wind, I catch a cold in a blink of an eye and become a topic of talking and laughing.

—For example, me now.

"Ah-choo! Hiss-ha..."

"Brother, you idiot..."

"Don't talk about me like that, Mei Ling."

Who would have thought that I, who is still considered strong, could catch a cold just because I sweated a little and ran for a while on the breezy street?

Although it is not serious enough to affect normal work, it still has a certain degree of impact on my body.

For example, sneezing, runny nose and other cold symptoms are all available.

Obviously I'm going to work today, is it alright?I always feel that in the recent period, I have been sick for a year.

"Cut~~"

Meiling gave me a disdainful white look, and then suddenly made a gesture of opening her arms to me, asking for a hug.

What's wrong?Do you still want to give me a parting hug?

"Don't get me wrong, I want you to carry me to the sofa, I'm too lazy to go there by myself."

"...There is no misunderstanding."

Carrying Meiling to the sofa, followed her instructions to connect the PS4, and finally put the insulated box with lunch and a few bags of snacks on the coffee table, she nodded in satisfaction.

"Yeah~~ That's good! Now even if my brother is not at home, I won't be bored anymore."

"You... didn't you buy so many books yesterday? Why don't you read books, but play games?"

"Because the book can be taken home to read, but the PS4 is only available here?"

"...After you go back, I'll buy you something."

"Thank you brother~~~Okay, okay, go to work quickly! You still have to make money to support our family!"

"Ha... I really lost to you." I sighed helplessly, and after taking my file bag, I said casually: "Then, please take care of the house. If there is any situation, remember to tell me Call up."

"It's~~~ Isn't it the landline on the coffee table? I know!"

After making sure that Meiling really remembered what I said, I left the living room unhurriedly, went to the entrance and put on my leather shoes.

While putting my own slippers back on the shoe rack, I accidentally glanced at the place where Asuna's slippers were placed.Looking back at the disposable slippers on Meiling's feet, I remembered that I hadn't bought her own shoes for Meiling, and I couldn't help blaming my careless self in my heart.

It would be great if I bought it in the supermarket yesterday... Well, forget it, it's not too late to go shopping today, so let's do it first.

"Ah, that's right, brother."

Meiling stopped me who was about to go out, and said casually.

"Find a time to get back the key from Asuna's place, and try not to meet her in the future, understand?"

"...Ah, I see."

Without answering Mei Ling's words directly, I left the apartment.

Before closing the door, I seemed to hear a voice mixed with a sigh coming from behind me.

"I'm still so indecisive until now, but I can't..."

I don't know if Asuna's child minded our attitude yesterday.

After experiencing so many ups and downs in just a few days, I was really tired from the bottom of my heart.

----------

After a crowded subway journey as usual, I finally made it to the office in the last few minutes.It would be nice not to be late for work the first day after the holidays.

Walking into the office area, I found that my colleagues had almost arrived.Thinking of the reason why the one-day cherry blossom viewing holiday did not pass, I came to the conclusion that I was the last person to arrive at the office!

Yay~~~ This is not okay, me.If you always take your time like this, you won't be able to get promoted?It's also impossible to make the subordinates respect you?

Thinking this way, I still maintained a leisurely state, walked to my desk unhurriedly, and sat down very casually.

"Ah, Headmaster! Welcome back! Did you enjoy your vacation?"

"Huh?——What, it's Sugisaki. Have you returned to work yet? I thought you were going to take this opportunity to take a leave of absence and have fun for a week."
