Walking out of the jewelry store, Zhang Yu stood on the street with cars and cars, watching the city with neon lights everywhere as night fell. He didn't feel anything, he only wanted to meet someone now.

Approaching the road, he waved at a taxi that was approaching this direction with an empty sign. The driver reacted when he saw it, and drove over and slowly stopped beside Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu opened the car door, sat in, and gave the driver an address. The car started slowly and drove off into the distance. In order to prevent this from happening, he had already investigated which hospital Asuna was staying in. I also went to see her in person once, and she was still as beautiful as ever.

He silently looked at the scenery flashing outside the car window, but he was thinking about how to face that lovely person.

Twenty minutes after the taxi, the main road left the main road and climbed the winding path of the hilly terrain, and in a short time a huge building appeared in front of me. It is a high-level medical institution run by a private company.

After Zhang Yu got out of the car, he showed the security guard at the door the ID document he had prepared, and the guard confirmed that he could pass, and then he got the pass at the counter on the first floor of the hall, pinned it to his chest pocket and got on the elevator.

Only a few seconds later, Zhang Yu arrived on the eighteenth floor at the top, and the elevator door opened smoothly. When you come to the uninhabited corridor, head straight south. There are many patients on this level who have been hospitalized for a long time, but there are very few people to see now.

Soon after, he came to the end of the hallway, where he could see a door painted light green. On the wall next to the door, you can see a name plate that glows darkly. Under the name tag that reads "Miss Asukina", there is a tiny slit.

At this moment, Zhang Yu's mood was slightly nervous, and he calmed his heart.

He took the pass off his chest and slid the lower end of it through the slit. The color of the display light changes, and the door opens with a subtle electronic sound.

Immediately a floral scent flowed from inside.

There were no lights in the ward. The light reflected from the window shone in through the window, giving the room a little white light.

Suddenly, there was a murmur in the room.

"Who's ......"

There was a curtain separating the space from the depths of the wide ward, and Zhang Yu slowly walked towards it.

He stopped in front of the curtain. Reach out and grasp the edge of the curtain.

Then pull hard away.

The white curtain swayed and slid to the side with the sound of the breeze blowing across the prairie.

A young girl in a thin hospital gown like a pure white dress was sitting on the bed looking at the dark window. The scattered snow reflected a faint glow in her smooth hair. The girl's slender hands were placed in front of her body, and she was holding a dark blue egg-shaped object in her hands.

That's NERvGear. The crown of sin that continues to imprison the maiden. But now it has finished its mission, lying quietly in the girl's arms.

"Asuna ......"

Zhang Yu called her name in a very small voice. The girl's body shook violently, causing the scented air to shook.

As if he had just woken up from a long slumber, his brown pupils stared straight at him with a dream-like glow.

Her smooth pink lips smiled faintly, and tears finally burst out of her eyes. The tears that ran down her cheeks onto Asuna's fingers glistened in the light outside the window.

"Jade ......"

This was the first time Zhang Yu had actually heard her voice. It's completely different from what you hear every day in the SAO world. However, the sound that vibrates in the air, resonates in the auditory organs, and is conveyed to the consciousness can be said to be several times more pleasant to the ear than in the game.

"Asuna, I've come to see you as promised."

Zhang Yu showed a gentle smile and whispered to her.

She left her hand away from NERvGear and reached out to him. The movement alone took her a lot of effort, and her hands were shaking.

He quickly reached over and quietly held her hand as if he were touching an ice sculpture. Her hands were so weak and slender, but they were quite warm. He leaned his body against the edge of the bed with a gentle movement.

Asuna stretched out her right hand and slowly touched his face.

"It's really me, Asuna."

She was still confirming if it was a dream, and Zhang Yu had already held her hand and put it on her face.

"I finally ...... Finally...... See you again. Jade, the first time we met, I'm Asuna Yuuki. ”

She was smiling, silver tears rolling down her cheeks. His moist eyes stared straight at Zhang Yu as if he wanted to convey all the feelings in his heart.

"Welcome back, my love."

Then Zhang Yu took out a delicate red heart gift box from his pocket with his left hand. Remove Asuna's right hand from her face and open the box and place it in her palm.

"Can you take it again?"

Zhang Yu's eyes were full of tenderness and looked at Asuna, who was slightly excited, and said with a slight smile.

"Of course, you can help me put it on."

Asuna looked at the diamond ring that shone with crystal clear brilliance, and the happiness in her heart was indescribable.

"Okay."

Zhang Yu raised her slender and white right hand and put the ring on her ring finger. Then he said to her with a solemn face.

"Miss Asuna, from now on you are really my person."

"Hehe, Jade. I've always been your person. ”

Asuna was amused by Zhang Yu's serious face, although she responded gently.

"Asuna...... I ......"

"What's wrong, Jade."

Asuna watched Zhang Yu speak and tilted her head to look at him suspiciously.

"I'm sorry, Asuna. When I logged into the game, I got a text message from home saying that I had to go back to something urgent. However, I'll be back soon. I'll be back in a few days. ”

Zhang Yu lowered his head and was a little depressed, but his hands kept holding Asuna's hand.

"Jade, no matter where you are, I will always think about you. Because I am your wife. ”

Asuna endured the reluctance in her heart and the pain of being separated just after they met, and tried her best to smile and comfort Zhang Yu. For her who has just returned to the real world, this is the time when she needs Zhang Yu. When I heard that I was going to separate again, even if it was a few days, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.

"I'm sorry, but I'll tell my family about you when I go back this time."

When she heard this, all the discomfort and reluctance in her heart disappeared. The fair-skinned pretty face was immediately dyed a layer of red, and she lowered her head shyly. A voice as soft as a mosquito came out of her mouth.

"As long as they don't hate me for being Japanese."

Zhang Yu looked at the shy girl in front of him, chuckled and shook his head. Obviously, just now, his face was still pale, full of sadness and reluctance. Now in a blink of an eye, she has become a shy little girl again. sigh that the girl in love is really unpredictable.

"No, how could you hate you. Virtuous, beautiful, cute, capable, and able to cook, they don't have time to be happy. ”

Zhang Yu coaxed Asuna and looked at her delicate expression. It seems that even the bitterness of parting in my heart has been reduced a lot.

"Really?"

"Yes, yes. I'm 1,000 percent sure. ”

"Jade, are you really going to be back soon?"

"Yes, I promise you."

"En......"

The two stared at each other silently, their faces approaching at the same time. The lips first met gently, then kissed deeply together.

Zhang Yu wrapped his arms around her petite body, and then quietly hugged her.
