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

"Uncle..."

Asuna became a little tearful again, and tried to throw herself into my arms again, but I directly stopped her.

"Sorry, don't do this kind of thing again."

"......Eh?"

Looking at Asuna with a serious expression, I said what was on my mind.

"You like me, don't you?"

"...Yes. I like Uncle, very, very, like you."

Without any hesitation, she said what I expected, but my side was shaken by her firm attitude.What a shame to society, me.

Isn't that so... as expected... After such an encounter, it is inevitable that I will have a little affection for me who saved her.

It's not that I have any special thoughts about the age gap. As long as she doesn't mind, I, who is more than ten years older than her, have nothing to complain about a confession of love from a beautiful girl?

But... when I think of her feelings, it's probably caused by a whim, and I can't respond to her feelings directly.

It would be too cunning to take advantage of a girl when she was most hurt.

"I'm sorry, I can't accept your feelings."

Indifferent and ruthless words passed into Asuna's ears.

"......why?"

No hysteria after rejection, and no tears like I expected.The girl named Asuna stared at my face with firm eyes, waiting for my explanation.

Really...if you do that, I'll be moved...

"The time we've known each other is too short. I'm not sure if your relationship is just impulsive, or if it's a true love. ... Forgive me, I've been hurt once, no Courage to face the possibility of being hurt a second time."

"......coward."

"Whatever you say."

I made up my mind when I broke up with my girlfriend.If I want to fall in love next time, it will definitely be for the purpose of marriage.

It's not that I'm afraid of being betrayed again. Love is everyone's freedom. When I meet someone I love more deeply, I don't have any qualifications to stop them from seeking true love.

However, I really can't take another blow... Before the age of 30, when my grandparents were still alive, it was my dream and my responsibility to have a happy family.

Forgetting my family in China, thinking about how I want to enjoy the post-adolescent life in Tokyo... I can't do it anyway.

So, in my opinion, even if Asuna really likes me, her age is a direct result, and her relationship cannot be decided by her alone.

School, teachers, classmates, friends, family, relatives...there are so many that will become obstacles between me and her.Even if I don't care, what will Asuna, who is hated by the surrounding people, think?Will you give up on me right away?

Please, I really don't want to get hurt anymore, really...

"Uncle."

Wiping away her tears with a handkerchief, Asuna stared into my eyes and said word by word.

"According to you...I'm not totally rejected, am I?"

"...I said it, you can say whatever you want."

"Hee hee... Then, after a while, will Uncle accept me?"

"...Well, who knows what will happen in the future?"

I deliberately didn't look at Asuna's expression, but from her excited voice, I could still feel her slightly excited mood.

"Well... it's said, uncle."

"When I graduate, I still haven't changed my mind. At that time, please answer me seriously?"

......

I, silently staring at the setting sun outside the window, did not answer Asuna's question.

boom!boom!boom!boom--

Whose chest did the violent heartbeat that entered my ears come from?

The answer is so clear.

However, I still do not have the courage to face it.

----------

Great, uncle, he finally woke up.

Asuna, who stayed up all night and didn't fall asleep until the afternoon of the next day, finally expected Li Ling to wake up after a slight shaking.

Yesterday, after calling Li Ling and learning that he had vomited blood in a taxi and fell into a coma, Asuna's heart has been nervous all the time.As if something important was about to leave her, she was extremely worried.

Riding to the hospital as quickly as possible, what he saw was the uncle who had finished first aid and was sent to the general ward. Asuna suddenly lost the strength to stand and fell to the ground.

At that moment, she understood.My feelings towards Li Ling are much deeper than I imagined.

At the beginning, he was only regarded as a hunting target.Think about when you will catch him, and just throw it away when you get tired of playing.But I don't know since when, his position in his heart has changed silently.

I like his attitude, the tenderness that I have never felt in others is my most precious experience.
