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

With the problem in my head, I just moved forward mechanically.With Asuna's reminder, I suddenly realized that I had walked out of the crowd and came to a place with relatively sparse crowds.

Where we are now is a bridge over the Meguro River.Although many people stopped to shoot here, the crowd density here is significantly lower than the cherry blossom streets on both sides of the river.

I was just thinking about something...

Forget it, can't remember.Compared with the little things that don't matter, we finally don't have to endure the crowd of people anymore, and that's the most important thing.

Well, just take a break here.It's been almost half an hour since we came to Meguro River, and we haven't enjoyed the beauty of the cherry blossoms yet.

"Just take a rest here. Asuna, the folding stool is in my bag, help me get it."

"Ah, okay~~~~"

The two folding stools that were still cumbersome before became two comfortable tools for resting in just one minute.Looking at the envious eyes of passers-by, I couldn't help but praise my wit.

"Hoo~~~~ It's so comfortable~~~"

"Hey~~~~ That's right."

After being squeezed in the crowd for so long, my tired body finally got a rest here, and I sighed the same as Asuna.

Looking up, the cherry blossom trees on the river bank were still swaying gently in the breeze.Every once in a while, some petals can't stand the spring breeze and slowly fall.

Some landed on the road and were accidentally stepped on by tourists, stained with muddy water and no longer pure; some landed on the shoulders of the girl, held in the palm of her hand in amazement, with a happy face towards the male. The companions showed; some, gently stroked from the fingertips of the teenager, towards the slowly flowing river, never to return...

The life cycle of cherry blossoms is only about a week... That is to say, when we enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms in full bloom, there are already some cherry blossoms that have already bloomed and started to wither, silently disappearing in people's eyes. in sight.

Just like the laborers in every corner of the city... Most of them have quietly left before being discovered, leaving only the fruits of their labor-that is, the cherry blossoms scattered in the streets and alleys, turning the city into a be more beautiful.

But after a while, it will be ruthlessly swept into the garbage heap because it is behind the times, and it will become a pile of non-recyclable waste.

Obviously, so much effort was put into it.In the end, it can only occupy a short time in the hearts of others.

Such an existence, even if it is occasionally mentioned, will only be laughed at by people.When their break is over and they return to work, they will never be remembered again.

Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms...beautiful and fleeting.Born so moving, leaving is also calm.

I have lived in Tokyo for more than ten years. When I leave one day, will I be like this cherry blossom and bring a little emotion and a little happiness to others?

If so, then it could not be better.

"Ah? Asuna?"

A slightly familiar female voice came into my ears.Asuna, whose name was called, tilted her head curiously.

"Ok?"

"Wow! It's really you! I didn't recognize you when you were dressed so beautifully! Sure enough, you suit a kimono! That's why I wanted you to accompany me to the festival!"

"Class, monitor!?"

What?

I looked to the other side of the bridge - the direction from which the sound came.

There, stood a girl with a happy face, a smile and a surprise.

Dressed in a red kimono as the main color, with pink and white cherry blossom petals printed on it, it is unclear whether it is the pattern of the clothes or the falling petals.The wrapped body shows his perfect development without hesitation.Her hair, tied into a ponytail, fell straight down to her waist.The cheeks that do not even have light makeup show their natural beauty.

Such a beautiful and young girl, her name is Dongfeng Gu Qianming.He is Asuna's class leader, and the third runner-up of the National Kendo Competition.

What was different from what I had in mind was that she, who had always had a tense face, had a little less sadness and more happiness on her face.

Did something good happen?Such as training results or something?

Or is it just because of today's special day that you are infected by the joy of the tourists?

I am deeply puzzled by this.

"She? How did she come here?"

I asked Asuna next to me.In the end, she was also confused, saying that she had never seen the squad leader on such an occasion... Moreover, there was no appointment between them to enjoy cherry blossoms together today.

Is it just pure coincidence that we met here?

With some feeling of fate, I quietly looked at the girl who was approaching.Suddenly, I found a petite child behind her.

It was a little girl who was only about ten years old. She was wearing basically the same kimono as Qianmei, but the size was reduced a lot. She was curiously observing the surrounding scenery and pedestrians.After noticing my presence, he suddenly pointed his finger at me excitedly.

"Ah! Sister, look! It's the uncle! It's the uncle who gave me fireworks to play with!"

Ah...if I remember correctly, she seems to be called Daoxiang?From vague memories, I tried to say hi to her.

"Yo, Dao, Daoxiangjiang, long time no see!"

"Long time no see! Uncle, are you okay? Are you okay? I heard my sister said you are sick?"

"Huh?...Ah, so that's it. Well, thanks to you, I'm in good health!"

"Great! It seems that Daoxiang's prayer god has heard it! After knowing that uncle is sick, Daoxiang is praying every day?"

"Ah...thank you so much."

Until then, Qian Ming seemed to have noticed me sitting next to Asuka, and said with a displeased expression.

"Tsk...you're here too."

Her mood was obviously plummeting, and I was instantly full of anger.
