Ten years ago, somewhere in San Francisco, the United States resorted to a beach.

With the sun shining directly on the fine sand, a pair of sisters in bathing suits walked leisurely on the edge of the bustling beach.

Unlike the average sister, the age gap between the two sisters is slightly larger.

My sister's thick silver hair had a ball tied at the back of her head, revealing the back of her snow-white neck, she was tall and wore a pair of sunglasses, and she looked like she was about twenty years old, very young.

The younger sister, who was holding a folding beach chair with a child and following her sister with her calves, had soft black hair and a ponytail, and her immature appearance was only six or seven years old.

"Sister Jing, when will Mom and Dad come?"

Quickly keeping up with Bai Hejing's pace, Bai Heying looked up at her own sister, and couldn't help but ask again.

Bai Heying, she is the youngest daughter of the Bai He family, she is seven years old today and has just entered elementary school.

Ten years later, she gradually became suspicious of the cause of her father's death, and would borrow her mother's old surname and quietly go to Japan alone to investigate.

"I don't know."

Also holding a folding beach chair in his hand, Bai Hejing lowered his head, and while tirelessly coping with his sister's questioning for the first time, he quickly clicked on his mobile phone.

[Where?] Can you make it over in time? 】

Bai Hejing, 19 years old, just started college this year, and is now wasting her rare vacation, taking her unobtrusive parents to the beach with her cute but annoying sister to "waste her time".

To be honest, Bai Hejing sometimes envies her sister.

After all, Bai Heying has been loved by her parents since she was born and grew up in a calm and beautiful family environment.

Not like her.

Polar contrast to her younger sister, Shirakawa grew up in a de facto single-parent family when she was young, with a grandfather in the shadows, a cold mansion, a maid who couldn't see her face clearly, and a mother who was always away from home...... These are Bai Hejing's memories of her childhood.

It wasn't until she was almost ten years old that she saw her father for the first time in real terms.

It was a man who was so fragile that he looked like he was going to die in the next moment.

This was Bai Ha Jing's first impression of her father.

Fortunately, the resonance in the blood washed away the strangeness between father and daughter, except for the sudden disappearance of a few days from time to time, her father was indeed very competent.

Shirakawa Shira's mother, formerly surnamed Karasuma, was originally the daughter of Karasuma Renya, the head of Japan's super-chaebol Karasuma Group.

But it is said that because he had a dream of becoming an international superstar, he gave himself the stage name Sharon Wynyard and came to the United States to film, and settled down for a long time.

And Bai Hejing's father is named Bai Heqing, on the surface, he is a super soft rice man who relies on his wife to earn money to support the family and has no job.

Bai Ha Jing once thought so.

Because in the first few years when their father and daughter met, Bai Heqing really didn't have a job, and he didn't go out to look for it, so he stayed at home every day, took her around to play when he was bored, and asked her mother for money when he wanted it.

The point is that Bai Heqing's appearance is indeed good-looking, with a natural little white face, which made the young Bai Hejing think that his father was a little white face who won his mother's favor with his "beauty".

At that time, she even made up a lot of things in her brain, such as: Bai Heqing played with Sharon's feelings with clever words, deceived her into giving birth to a child and evaporated from the world, and her poor mother searched for ten years before finally coaxing her delicate and irresponsible soft rice father back home......

The young Bai Hejing is extremely convinced of the plot of her brain, and she thinks that she has discovered her father's "ugly face", but it is only because Bai Heqing has always been very good to her that she reluctantly decided not to persuade her mother to divorce him.

And this changed when Shirakawa Jing started middle school.

Shirakawa Qing disappeared again.

This is Bai Hejing's eyes, in addition to his father's only shortcoming besides loving soft rice.

"Disappearing" is her own statement, according to Bai Heqing, he only has something to go out for a few days.

Sometimes the excuse for going out is that there is something at a distant relative's house, sometimes it is a friend from abroad who invited him to be a guest, and sometimes even that he has found a job as an actor and wants to go to a foreign studio to film, but more often he doesn't even make up the reason, and directly says that he wants to go out for a few days.

And in these cases, without exception, Bai Heqing never took her with him, until one time Bai Hejing finally found an opportunity to follow him quietly, and finally learned the secret behind their family, a mysterious black-clothed organization......

"Really, I said that I was going to take me out to play today......"

Beside him, the complaint of her sister Bai Heying recalled Bai Hejing's thoughts of going away.

She looked down at the phone in her hand and saw that there was already a reply on it.

[It's already on the way, and it should be there in a while.] 】

"I think wait a little longer, they should be there."

Putting away the phone, Bai Hejing smiled and touched Bai Heying's head, and then took her to a parasol next to her and propped up the beach chair in her hand.

It's the same today, originally the two of her family were going to take their little daughter out to play, but suddenly there was an unexpected situation in the organization, it seems that a traitor defected with the organization's internal information, the situation is urgent, and the two must deal with it, so she didn't want to go out and brought her sister over first......

Despite this, in fact, this kind of emergency has been much less in recent years, especially in previous years, Bai Heqing and Sharon went out on missions far more often than in recent years.

Bai Hejing could feel that both of them seemed to be deliberately gradually removing themselves from the black-clothed organization...... Perhaps, they also want to live that kind of real peaceful life, right?

For Shirakawa, this is a good thing.

Set up the beach chair, Bai He lay on it quietly, took off his sunglasses, reached out and took out a copy from the bag, and casually said to Bai Heying, who was standing next to him, holding a volleyball, and looking at him with his eyes:

"Okay, my sister is going to read, let's go play by myself."

"Sister Jing, I want you to play with me." Bai Heying gestured for the volleyball in his hand.

"No, there are so many children next to you, just find a little boy you like to play with you." Bai Hejing ruthlessly refused.

"However, I want to ...... with Sister Jing" Bai Heying still looked at her with a blank eye.

[What a headache......]

Bai Hejing sighed softly, she put down what she was holding, and began to think seriously about what she could do to fool her sister away without a painful conscience.

"It's been a long time, Brother Xiuyi."

At this moment, under the parasol next to the sisters, a voice suddenly sounded.
