RESURRECTION

Chapter 91 - Confession

When the waiter brought a new cup of coffee, Masashi did not dare to drink anymore. He looked across the table at teacher Naoko who was secretly hanging her head

“Em, can you repeat that sentence? I may have misheard. "After a while, Masashi slightly awkwardly said a few words.

After what felt like a long time, Naoko slowly raised her head and looked at him, then said weakly, “Sorry, I already scared you. Me ... excuse me . “With that, he stood in a hurry to leave.

As it passed by, the young man almost instinctively grabbed his hand.

Suddenly, he felt like a drop of liquid had fallen on the back of his hand, looking up, he could not help but be stunned.

"Please.... . let me go .. okay? ”With eyes filled with tears, teacher Naoko tried to cover her face with her hands while the other hand struggled to escape the young man's strong grip.

"Naoko, will you sit down?" After taking a deep breath, the young man sincerely said.

After a while, teacher Naoko finally stopped struggling, then looked at him with an extremely complicated gaze and slowly sat down on her original chair.

“If, I mean if, if I'm not mistaken, the meaning of your words is, you like....em, have a certain impression on me, am I right? ”Masashi is still not used to saying those words.

Teacher Naoko looked into his eyes, then with sadness but a firm tone said: "Masashi, I .

If these words get you into trouble, I'm sorry. I won't bother you anymore. Me …. I want to go back, please don't hinder me. "Then, he wants to go.

The young man did not let him stand. Instead, he grabbed her hand. Then he flipped it over to expose his wrist and placed two fingers over the woman's veins or arteries to check her pulse.

Looking at the young man who did not say a word after a long time, teacher Naoko let out a soft sigh. He did not attempt to let go of his hand, only silently watching him.

"How much time?" After a while, the young man said a sentence.

Teacher Naoko did not react for a while, only looking at him with confused eyes.

"I mean your heart problem. "The young man looked at him.

"You.... . How do you know? ”Teacher Naoko was very surprised.

The young man sighed, “You may have good intentions towards me, but with your disposition, you won't take the initiative to say those things to a high school student like me. Only a person whose days are numbered would be eager to do such a thing. Am I right, Naoko? ”

The young man sighed, “You may have good intentions towards me, but with your disposition, you won't take the initiative to say those things to a high school student like me. Only a person whose days are numbered would be eager to do such a thing. Am I right, Naoko? ”

After listening to Masashi, teacher Naoko's face paled, and her entire body felt even colder.

Suddenly, he felt his right hand stiffen, looking up at him seeing that the young man had wrapped his hand tightly in his hand.

"I won't let anything happen to you. ”The young man gently said a few words.

This sentence was like a spell, teacher Naoko suddenly felt a chill drifting from her and, suddenly a warm feeling passed through her grasping hands and entered into her heart. At that moment, he knew, crystal clear, how bad his attachment to this young man was.

“Newly a month ago, due to the sudden explosion of angina, I was sent to the hospital. According to the doctor's diagnosis, there were signs that my heart disease was starting to get worse. I forgot to tell you, I have congenital heart disease, it belongs to a family of hereditary diseases. My grandmother, at the age of 26, died of this disease. The doctor told me that if it continued to get worse, I would probably die suddenly.

In that incident, I really thought I was going to die. Fortunately, I survived that period. While I was in the hospital, I thought about a lot of things. But most of the thought was about you, do you know why I suddenly resigned my teaching job to go to Nagoya? ”Teacher Naoko looked at him with eyes as soft as water.

"Is it because of me?" Looking at the look in his eyes, even an idiot would know that this matter was tied to themselves.

“Actually, you don't deserve to be treated this way by you. “After being silent for a while, the young man said calmly.

Teacher Naoko's free hand firmly grasped the young man's hand, “No, to you, everything is worth it. After staying in the hospital for half a month, I finally found the answer. I don't really care if I die tomorrow. But I don't want to die with regret, and that regret is you. I won't ask you anything, I just want to stay by your side. Shut up by your side. That will be enough as long as I can secretly see you.

Teacher Naoko's free hand firmly grasped the young man's hand, “No, to you, everything is worth it. After staying in the hospital for half a month, I finally found the answer. I don't really care if I die tomorrow. But I don't want to die with regret, and that regret is you. I won't ask you anything, I just want to stay by your side. Shut up by your side. That will be enough as long as I can secretly see you.

Is…. You are willing to accept a woman like me who can die at any time? ”The tone is soft as the summer breeze.

"Please, let me stay by your side, okay?" At the same time, an equally soft voice rang out in his ears, the face of a delicate and gentle woman appeared before his eyes once again.

At that moment, the young man felt struck by lightning.

Teacher Naoko's heart skipped a beat, nervously staring at the young man, who was in contemplation mode.

If the answer was negative, he did not know if he had the strength to get out of this coffee shop.

Will he accept me?

"Aiko, what a rare Sunday, why don't you call the Gennai people to go together?" Asami said with a smile.

“Why suddenly mention his name, hate. "Say Aiko nicely.

"What's wrong, did you fight with him?" Ryoko interjected to ask.

“No, you all suck. ”Aiko go to the other side of the rack to choose clothes.

"What's wrong, did you fight with him?" Ryoko interjected to ask.

“No, you all suck. ”Aiko go to the other side of the rack to choose clothes.

The two curious girls would certainly not let her go, they immediately pulled the silent Ai to stand by Aiko's side.

“Oh, I see, it must be because that man Gennai made an exaggerated request to Aiko whom we love, that's why you are so angry. "Ryoko showed a strange smile.

"What did you say?" Aiko knitted her brows.

“For example, he asked you to go to a hotel with him, and so on. Am I right? ”Ryoko smiled and said.

"Crazy, not that. “Aiko suddenly flushed.

"Is that true? That man, Gennai, actually made such a request? ”Seeing her reaction, Asami could only be a little skeptical.

Ai looked at Aiko with a complicated gaze.

"No, do you really believe that a fool can do such a thing?" At this point, Aiko could not help but get angry. Someone else's girlfriend, because of this hotel problem, will fight with their boyfriend. But her? She had obviously given him the opportunity to go to his apartment, but she actually disliked him. Although he did not intend to invite her to do such a thing, there was at least an opportunity to promote each other's feelings; a man who hated deeply. Thinking of this, Aiko almost tore the clothes in her hand into pieces.
