Chapter 294 Letter
“Ugh~”
Asuka Kobayashi placed her hand on her chest and tried several times to suppress the nausea in her heart.
She was out of breath due to stomach cramps and rested for a long time on the sink before she gradually recovered.
She turned on the faucet and washed herself a little before looking up at the figure in the mirror.
Still young and still beautiful, but because of the physiological reaction just now, there are still traces of tears in the corners of her eyes.
This added a sense of sadness to her already beautiful face.
"Asuka-chan, are you ready? Dinner is almost ready." A faint voice of Shirakawa Kaede calling out came from outside.
"Hai~" Asuka Kobayashi calmed down and returned to her original lively state, responding crisply.
After stopping and walking for more than half a month, they finally arrived in Otaru, Hokkaido.
At that time, Otaru was just an ordinary northern town, and even the surrounding facilities and buildings were a bit old.
The reason for coming here was because of the suggestion made by Shirakawa Feng.
In later generations, Otaru became a tourist destination for couples, and even Shirakawa Kaede, who was in China, had heard of it.
Now that I am in Hokkaido and have come here specifically for tourism, of course I have to visit Otaru.
But unfortunately, without the bonus of "Love Letter", Otaru seems a little too ordinary at this time.
Even the famous Otaru Canal still serves as a shipping channel.
The river banks were completely different from what they are today, with all kinds of handicraft shops, museums and other service buildings to attract tourists.
Instead, there are still warehouses and small boats scattered around the canal.
To be honest, Baichuan Feng was a little disappointed, but since he was here, he might as well check in.
As the final stop of the trip, it is okay to take a short rest here.
So they chose a rather traditional hotel and settled down there.
With a "click", the bathroom door opened and Asuka Kobayashi walked out with a faint smile.
"Are you okay? Did you eat something upset?" Baichuan Feng asked with concern.
In the past two days, Xiaolin seems to go to the bathroom more and more frequently.
At first he thought it was the other person's period, but it didn't seem like it.
Could it be because the weather in Hokkaido is too cold and she, coming from the south, is having trouble acclimatizing?
"It's okay, maybe I haven't adapted yet, it will be fine after a while."
Asuka Kobayashi smiled nonchalantly, indicating that he didn't need to worry.
Is it really because of the climate? Baichuan Feng frowned slightly, "Why don't we go back earlier? The weather in Tokyo has become warmer."
"Hmm~that's fine." Asuka Kobayashi picked up a piece of tempura and stuffed it into her mouth, squinting her eyes in satisfaction.
Seeing that she had a good appetite, Baichuan Feng was relieved. As long as she could eat, it was fine. If she could eat, it meant that there was nothing wrong with her body.
In fact, Asuka Kobayashi not only has a good appetite, but she even eats a lot more than before.
It’s just that Baichuan Feng himself didn’t even notice that he ate so many snacks and small meals every day during the trip.
"Hey, you're eating so fast, don't you want to leave any for me?"
"Hehe, don't stay~"
…
Late at night, the sound of the sea tide outside gradually died down, and the streets around the hotel were also paused.
Asuka Kobayashi opened her eyes and listened carefully for a while, until she heard the faint breathing sound from the figure next to her, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
She carefully removed his arms from around her, then stood up slowly and gently.
With the help of the light outside the window, Asuka Kobayashi put on her clothes one by one in the semi-dark room, then tiptoed to open the door and left the bedroom.
When she came to the living room outside, she moved slowly and breathed a sigh of relief.
When she turned on the light and saw the packed luggage on the sofa, she didn't go over immediately.
Instead, she sat down at the table against the wall in the living room, took a piece of white paper, and began to write with her head down.
After an unknown amount of time, Asuka Kobayashi put down her pen and rubbed her lower back.
Her back and waist ached from sitting for so long, but luckily it was over.
She glanced at the contents of the paper again, and after confirming that nothing was missing, she folded the paper neatly and stuffed it into the envelope that had been prepared long ago.
She tiptoed back to the bedroom again, and after confirming that the figure on the bed showed no signs of waking up, Asuka Kobayashi gently placed the envelope on the cabinet beside the bed.
After doing all this, she just stared at the figure on the bed in the dark for a long time. She leaned over and kissed his lips for the last time, then turned around and disappeared quietly into the room.
Asuka Kobayashi put on her coat and picked up her luggage, then left the hotel and tightened her collar in the cold wind.
She looked around and suddenly heard a faint engine sound from an Audi car diagonally across the street.
After confirming the license plate, Asuka Kobayashi no longer hesitated. She quickly crossed the street and got into the car.
Soon, as the sound of car engines faded away, the street returned to its previous tranquility.
…
In the early morning, half asleep and half awake, Baichuan Feng subconsciously tightened his arms, but his arms were empty.
Huh? He opened his eyes and looked carefully. There was indeed no one around.
"Asuka-chan?" Shirakawa Feng raised his upper body and turned his gaze towards the bathroom in the bedroom.
But unfortunately, there was still no response.
Swish, he quickly got up and walked barefoot to the bathroom, opened the door, and there was no one inside.
"Asuka-chan?"
Not giving up, he turned to the living room again, but just like before, it was deserted.
Finally, Shirakawa Feng realized something was wrong. If Asuka Kobayashi wanted to go out for a walk temporarily, there was no reason for her not to tell him.
I didn't hear her say last night that she had any special urgent matters or other arrangements today.
But now he disappeared without a sound . Did he leave here on his own initiative?
But why ? Why did you leave without saying goodbye?
In order to figure out the reason, Baichuan Feng began to carefully recall every detail between the two of them in recent times.
The sadness that had been revealed inadvertently before was always distracting without me realizing it.
Occasionally a lingering look passed across my face, and there were also those inexplicable words.
Baichuan Feng got up and ran to the bedroom, and sure enough, there was an envelope lying quietly on the bedside table.
His body trembled slightly and he slowly walked towards the head of the bed.
After reading this letter, he roughly understood that Asuka Kobayashi's leaving alone had become a fact.
All kinds of distracting thoughts surged in my mind. I sighed deeply and forced myself to collect my chaotic thoughts.
Baichuan Feng finally sat down on the bed, took the envelope, and took out the folded letter paper.
…
Dear Mr. Shirakawa,
Feng, please allow me to call you that this once.
Although I have imagined countless times in my mind the scene of calling you like this.
Maybe it’s the moment when I wake up in the morning, or maybe it’s the moment when you and I walk into the church hand in hand.
However, the world is unpredictable, and I didn't expect that this address would be left on the letter paper.
By the time you read this, I may have already boarded the plane and left Hokkaido.
There is no need to look for me, and there is no need to miss me.
This trip to Hokkaido has fulfilled many of my wishes.
During college, go on a camp trip.
Go to the North.
Let go of all worldly concerns with your beloved one and go on a long journey with only each other for company.
All of the above has been achieved, and I have no regrets.
From the first time I met Shirakawa-kun, I knew that in my future life, there would be a day when I would meet and walk with Shirakawa-kun.
Although someone rashly threw a ball of paper into my chest, which made me very embarrassed.
But I still firmly believe that this is some kind of hint from Cupid.
It may sound a bit love-sick, but being able to determine the one in your heart early on is also a kind of happiness.
After all, the person you love is right next to you. You can see him/her every day and every moment. How can this not be considered happiness?
The most satisfying thing is that Shirakawa-kun is also very gentle and has none of the Japanese men’s machismo ideas.
However, excellent people will always shine, and Shirakawa-kun soon embarked on his own path of growth.
Shirakawa Electric is a name that people both love and hate.
What I love is that I can see Shirakawa-kun every day here.
The annoying thing is that the endless work is really frustrating.
In fact, I don’t like working at all, but miraculously I have persisted for such a long time and gradually got used to its existence.
What's more, sometimes I actually enjoy it.
Looking back and thinking about it carefully, this is not a terrible thing.
But fortunately, all this is coming to an end now.
Mr. Shirakawa had asked me about my family several times, and I had always deliberately avoided the question or been ambiguous in my responses.
It’s not that I’m hiding something on purpose, but I just don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble to each other.
The Kobayashi family is indeed a merchant family, but they are involved in too many industries to be passed down in the form of a family for a long time.
Family, I believe Shirakawa-kun can understand that being born in such a family often means you have no control over your own decisions.
Especially when its inheritance has to be tied to a certain person, the restrictions become even more numerous.
I know very well that with Shirakawa-kun's excellence and pride, he is destined to not be able to coexist with the Kobayashi family.
This is also the reason why I have been reluctant to tell Shirakawa-kun about the situation at home.
I can bear the trouble by myself, how can I bring the problem to Shirakawa-kun for no reason?
But don't worry, I have some plans for the future.
In short, the family's internal affairs will be handled properly, so please don't worry.
But even so, time can't be delayed any longer. I want my campus life to have a perfect ending.
That’s why we had the visit after the New Year and this trip.
As for why he left without saying goodbye this time, it was actually because he couldn't bear the pain of separation.
Please forgive my selfishness for leaving all the loneliness and separation to Shirakawa-kun.
I probably won't be seen at the school anymore, so the HR director of Shirakawa Electric can only trouble Shirakawa-kun to find someone else.
If this has caused you any trouble, please forgive me and say sorry here.
Time passes and will never come back.
I don’t know when we will meet again after this time, Nian Xi! Nian Xi!
Sincerely, Asuka Kobayashi.
…
Gently stroking the elegant handwriting on the letter paper, Baichuan Feng stared at the lines of words for a long time without saying a word.
I don't know how long it was before he raised his eyes, suppressed his sadness, and let out a long sigh.
Asuka-chan...
"Knock knock knock" there was a knock on the door.
"Brother Baichuan, there is an old man outside who wants to visit you." Sama's voice came faintly through the wooden door.
