I stood aside and looked at him, not daring to say anything.

Inside the room, the electrocardiograph slowly drew undulating lines and made a slight sound. It seemed that the only sounds left in the corridor were his and my breathing.

"He is my grandfather!" Shu said calmly, but his voice was choked up. He glanced at me and continued, "Grandpa's biggest wish is that I can find someone who can accompany me throughout my life, while he is still conscious.

When I was young, I planned everything about dancing with Ise Taira. Even though it was all fake, I saw the joy in grandpa’s eyes..."

I looked at him in surprise, and was so shocked that I couldn't make any sound.

This old man has also contributed to the prosperity of the Genji family. Everyone who has served as the leader of the Genji family is destined to have a legendary life. As for this old man, I don’t know what contribution he has made, but I already know it in my heart.

A sense of reverence arose.

I continued to listen to him carefully.

"He is unconscious now. I think that after fulfilling his wish, grandpa will have no regrets!" He lowered his head slightly. I couldn't see his expression clearly, but the attachment to grandpa in his heart was

Love has been conveyed to me through his heart.

It turns out that the truth is this...

"Since I was a child, my grandfather has always taught me how to be the top leader of a family. He said that every heir of the Genji family must keep secrets before the coming-of-age ceremony. This is the greatest protection. He places all his hopes on me.

But today, when I became the heir, he...can't see clearly..." He buried his head and sobbed, as fragile as a child abandoned by his parents.

The atmosphere became very solemn.

"He will be fine! Everything will be fine!" I whispered, feeling very guilty in my heart, "I'm sorry, I have misunderstood you all before..."

Since it is to make your loved ones feel at ease, no matter what you do, it will be understandable.

I began to hate myself for being so petty before and waiting until today to realize my regret. I had no idea or understanding of how much pain I had endured during this period!

His figure was startled for a moment, but he straightened up and said softly: "Let's go."

My heart trembled, and I hurriedly followed him without saying anything.

After returning to the main hall, Shu took me straight upstairs and directly entered his room.

"You can stay here tonight!" He handed me a pillow and lay down on the huge bed very naturally.

"Sleep...sleep here?" I really doubted that I heard correctly. Did he want me to sleep in the same room as him?

Although it's not like I haven't slept at all, after all, a lot can change in two years, and it really can't be the same as it was back then.

"Yeah, is there a problem?" He stared at me and asked in extremely standard Japanese, with an extremely natural tone.

"I..." Not ready yet.

Damn it! Fortunately, I didn't say this sentence, otherwise it would have some... connotations.

"If you are by my side, I won't be afraid of you escaping." He patted the place next to him expressionlessly, looking irresistible.

I said in an extremely soft voice: "Where can I escape? Isn't Japan your territory..."

"What are you muttering about?" He handed me the paper bag in his hand and looked at the clothes I was wearing with a look of disgust on his face. "This is a change of clothes. Go and change out of your eye-catching dress!"
