Chapter 7, there was a mistake at your wedding

You should not marry me

Nai Xu raised her body, her hands propped on Nan Youxi's sides. In the darkness, her face was hidden among her jet-black hair

Grandma Asano is not seriously ill; she simply fainted due to excessive excitement combined with the stimulation of alcohol. Before the hospital bed, the doctor briefly advised on some precautions and then left.

Your grades in the second semester are in the lower half of the class, which has reassured your parents

In front of her serious demeanor, comfort and insincerity are indistinguishable; she has been contemplating for a long time, for several hours, several days, several months, or perhaps even several years

On the double bed, Nan Yuki wrapped his arms around Asano Nao's shoulders, while Asano Nao rested her face against his chest. He felt two lines of coldness on his shoulder; it was his wife who was crying.

Your relationship with Asano Nao has deepened

You showcased your eloquence, taking over the conversation at the dining table. Under your witty remarks, the laughter gradually became genuine. You embellished the stories, employing various techniques to extract sunny and cheerful moments from your daily life with your wife and with Kanai Asano, sharing them with everyone.

Grandmother needs to be hospitalized for a day for observation, and you and Nao Asano return home. Nao Asano expresses her apologies to you, and you comfort her

"It has nothing to do with you." Nan Yuki stroked her back, comforting her

"It's unfortunate. Clearly, you had everything arranged so smoothly. If only I could step out the door, then *Tu* and *Book* Dad wouldn't hate me..."

After graduation, you entered an ordinary university

She gazed into Nan Yuxi's eyes, her cascading hair resembling a curtain, enveloping Nan Yuxi in her own small confessional, listening to her confession

The atmosphere gradually became more lively, with laughter echoing in the living room. Asano Nao mustered her courage to converse with your parents and sister. Although her expression remained anxious and her voice still faint, she had made significant progress compared to before. When your parents and sister spoke to her, their voices and expressions gradually softened.

The younger sister let go first and began to laugh, followed by the mother, and finally, even the father revealed a smile. The father took a sip of the sake in his cup, and at your glance, Nao Asano took the sake pot and poured for him. The father hesitated for a moment and smiled at her.

Nan Yuki helped Nan Nao up. No, it should be Nan Nao's face. They are already married, and Nao has abandoned the surname Asano, sharing the same surname Nan as him

Do you still remember our first meeting? Do you think that at that time, I genuinely came to borrow comics and games from you?" Nanyuki said slowly

"I'm sorry." The soft sobbing of Asano Nao

On another night, you shared with Asano Nao the events of your summer vacation and the promises you made to your parents. Under Asano Nao's supervision, you dedicated two hours each day to studying.

It is not your fault

She lowered her head, the cold strands of hair falling across Nan Youxi's face, with tears trailing down the hair, brushing against his lips

The light filtering through the curtains was dim, and he could only see the outline of Nao's cheek. However, through the sobs that lingered in the darkness, he knew that his wife was looking at him with a sense of bewilderment

After an unknown period of time, Nai Xu's voice suddenly rang out

The memory scene has manifested

Aren't you just an excellent wife? So excellent that I can't help myself every night, and my body is clearly getting worse. Nanyuki wrapped her arms around Nao's waist, saying, "Moreover, I only performed well in the countryside; after coming to Mizaki, my results have been quite average."

It is all my fault

Nao Asano did not take a step; she stopped in front of the door. Outside, many people had gathered due to the ambulance, and she looked at the crowd, trembling in fear.

Before marriage, they spoke to you many times, hoping you would return to Jingye County and marry an ordinary, normal woman. You firmly rejected their wishes

Grandma Asano looked at the warming atmosphere and broke into a radiant smile. She raised her wine glass, eager to compete with her father.

Nai Xu did not respond; she pushed Nan Youxi's hand away and lay on the pillow beside her

At the dining table, the father, mother, and younger sister forced smiles, their expressions stiff and their performances riddled with flaws, failing to deceive anyone present.

Father, mother, and younger sister bid you farewell as they are returning to Iinokawa Prefecture. Nao Asano greets them, but only the mother responds to her.

Nan Youxi noticed that his new wife was very serious

Neither of the two was able to fall asleep

The living room was in disarray, and the father immediately crouched down to examine Grandma Asano. You promptly dialed the emergency number

My sister also dislikes this sister-in-law. She has no objections to Naoko Asano herself, but she is very indignant about the way she has led her brother astray

"Sleep well." Nan Yuki patted her on the back, "Tomorrow we will pick up Grandma and you need to comfort her well, so she doesn't take it to heart."

Only more impactful facts can subvert the foundation of her ideology

You go downstairs to pay the bill. When you return, Grandma Asano has already woken up, sitting hunched at the head of the bed, looking at you with eyes full of guilt. Nao Asano is not by the bedside, so you go to the bathroom in the ward and embrace her crying shoulders.

She never orders takeout; the ingredients and daily necessities are delivered by courier, left on the doorstep platform. After the courier leaves, she waits until the night is quiet before going to retrieve them. Moreover, she makes every effort to minimize the number of times the courier comes to her door, purchasing a large quantity of items at once to stock up.

In the darkness, there was no response for a long time

She said, "You should not be involved with me"

After three cups, she collapsed to the ground, her body convulsing

At the age of 22, you submitted a marriage application with Nao Asano, and you became husband and wife. There was no wedding, only a simple family dinner. The attendees of the dinner included only your parents and sister, as well as Nao Asano's grandmother

At the same time, you have also clearly recognized Nao Asano's fear of society and strangers

You have come to understand Nao Asano better; she is a shy person. Even though you are familiar with every inch of her body, she still blushes like a maiden who has never been unveiled.

"Have you changed your mind? It's too late now!" Nan Yuxi said playfully.

Nao Asano took a step forward. But it was too late; both she and you noticed the flicker of disappointment on your family's faces, and the intimacy that had just been there vanished.

Without the supervision of Asano Nao, and without the reason to study, you quickly dropped out of university and moved into the Asano household. Mrs. Tanaka's guess was correct; Asano Nao has a substantial amount of savings, and if used sparingly, this sum is enough for you to live a carefree life.

You wrapped your arms around her waist, pressed her head against your shoulder, and told her to close her eyes and just follow you.

This should be a very festive day, yet there is not much of a joyful atmosphere. Your parents do not like Asano Nao, considering her to be a NEET. They vaguely sense that the reasons for your declining high school grades and dropping out of university are both related to Asano Nao, which further intensifies their disapproval of her

Asano Nao's grandmother was at a loss, she was very fond of you and similarly believed that her granddaughter was a burden to you. With her emaciated hands, she made various gestures, striving to liven up the atmosphere. In her hoarse voice, she rummaged through her memories, recounting those old, worn-out anecdotes from the countryside, emitting a dry, rasping laugh

The ambulance took Grandma Asano away, and you, your father, your mother, and your younger sister walked out of the house to follow her to the hospital

Do not worry about them. Marriage is a matter between the two of us, and our future will be a life shared by both of us

Nanyuki has such a fact at hand

Her concept of repentance has matured, has reached perfection, and is unbreakable and insurmountable

The bedroom is unlit, and a dim light seeps through the gaps in the curtains; there is no moon tonight, only the glow of the streetlights.

"What I mean is not this, but... excellence in spirit. At the very least, one should not be afraid to go out just because there are many people! Nor should one hesitate to hold a wedding simply because there are many guests!" Nao's voice was almost a low shout

Perhaps it is I who should apologize He brushed back the hair from his face, revealing the face of his wife hidden behind the strands

Nan Yuxi reached out to touch her face, but she suddenly turned her head to avoid him, her hair brushing against the back of Nan Yuxi's hand.

Your high school grades were excellent. If it weren't for me, you should have been admitted to a prestigious university, secured a position in a major company, and then... then you would have had an outstanding wife
