"Those people during the day are really annoying......"

In the mourning hall in the middle of the night, Sharon spoke first, trying to open up the conversation.

"One by two, they said that they were coming to mourn Sister Keiko, but they all turned out to be ghosts, so it would be nice if we could kick them all out......"

"It's normal, there's nothing to worry about."

Bai Heqing didn't ignore her as she thought, he nodded lightly, and replied in a somewhat hoarse voice, but his eyes were still on the coffin.

"Also, if it was Keiko's sister, she wouldn't care about these people...... By the way, Miss Okino was here just now. ”

"Is that so...... Thank you to her for me, and the murderer was the same before, thanks to her care......"

"And yes! Miss Okino was worried about you too, so it was the maid of the Hatoyama family who came in, and she just complained to me that she was tired from being called during the day......"

"yes......"

Speaking of this, Bai Heqing finally turned his head to look at Sharon and smiled at her reluctantly.

"Karasuma, it's not early, let's go back and rest."

This sentence is a euphemism for sending off guests.

Sharon was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly, and said gloomily:

"Wood, I'm worried about your ......"

"Don't think about it, I just want to sit here for a while, it's going to be fine, let's go back and rest......"

Bai Heqing spoke again, but Sharon still didn't get up to leave, although she didn't open her mouth to say anything again, she stubbornly sat next to him.

Maybe Mina Okino is right, even if you don't say anything at this time, it's better to have someone sitting next to him than to leave him here alone.

After all, she may be the only one who can be by his side now.

Silence flowed quietly between the two, and I don't know how long it was, before a voice suddenly sounded again.

"I actually...... Originally accepted all this. ”

Bai Heqing quietly looked at the coffin in front of him, and suddenly spoke.

"Originally, I was able to accept the result that Keiko would die of illness and she would leave me early, and I also thought about it, and I had to live well after she left, and don't go to see her too soon......"

Sharon turned to look at him.

"It's just that I don't understand, why did things turn out the way they were? Why can't she even get such a little bit of final stability? ”

"Wood ......"

"I had a lot to ask the doctor, but he killed himself? Scold...... And he committed suicide so decisively that he didn't even give me a chance, as if all the details had been calculated, leaving only the result of Keiko's murder and a lot of mysteries......

If it weren't for the clues provided by Miss Okino, I might not even have caught this murderer, just like I did ten years ago. ”

Shirakawa was on the verge of collapse early in the morning, and the sudden death of Keiko Hatoyama dealt him an incomparably heavy blow.

This scene is like the scene of his mother's murder ten years ago, the omnipotent police officer Baihe can't even protect the people around him, and two of his closest relatives have left him in this dramatic way, as if it was a joke played by God on him.

Sharon wanted to comfort and enlighten him, but she didn't know how to speak.

Unlike the vast majority of people who are born with self-interest, Shirakawa Kiyoshi never seems to have put himself first, not only does he have almost no material desires, but he never complains about the mercy of Old Man Hatoyama, and he has been acting to meet the expectations of others since he was a child.

The person who used to be Aunt Shirakawa, and later it was Keiko Hatoyama...... In other words, these two people are the spiritual pillars of his life.

Two dramatic pillar collapses in a row in ten years have been extremely fatal to Shirakawa Kiyoshi.

As one of the former trio, Sharon naturally knows the importance of Keiko Hatoyama in Shirakawa's heart, and also knows the paleness of words in this scene......

No, it's not impossible.

Suddenly, Sharon remembered what Keiko Hatoyama had said to her before she died.

She wasn't really completely out of the question.

Sister Keiko has already arranged everything for her, Sister Keiko said, in Bai Heqing's heart, she also has an irreplaceable position, after Sister Keiko leaves, if Bai Heqing collapses, she will become the new pillar that supports his broken heart.

"White River ......"

Instead of calling him by his nickname, he called him by name.

Sharon met Bai Heqing's puzzled gaze and raised her hands tremblingly.

Yes, she has that qualification.

To be honest, Sharon doesn't really know if what she's going to do is right at this point in time, and she's not sure if she really has the courage to do it, and if she's determined to take the consequences.

Her heart was extremely frightened and uneasy.

She just felt like maybe she should do it...... And this may also be the best way, the method left to her by Keiko's sister......

It's okay, there's nothing wrong with that.

Because...... In fact, she has always liked the person in front of her.

That's right, Sister Keiko's control of people's hearts exceeds everyone in her cognition, so ...... Since Sister Keiko also thinks that this is right, then there is absolutely no problem for her to do so......

This is the only way.

In the cold wind, Sharon's cold hands held Bai Heqing's face, leaned forward slowly, and kissed Bai Heqing's lips tremblingly.

Bai Heqing didn't dodge, because the moment he met Sharon's gaze, he was stunned.

From her eyes, he saw the exact same look he had in the last meeting with Keiko.

Releasing him and backing away a little, Sharon looked up at him and said with a smile:

"Baihe, let's get married."

It was the look in his eyes that gave himself up completely and put everything on him.

“……”

It was definitely a bad decision.

Sharon didn't think it through, didn't think seriously about the hearts of both parties at this time, and didn't even think seriously about the consequences of doing so...... Such an impulsive decision was made recklessly.

It's not that she's wrong to do it, it's just that ...... The timing is wrong.

Her courage to summon up despite everything was seen through by Bai Heqing at a glance, and he could see her panic and uneasiness, and also saw her only hope that he could get out of this blow and live a good life despite herself.

Sister Keiko's words are not wrong, she does occupy an extremely important position in Bai Heqing's heart, they are friends who have experienced life and death, and they are close friends who talk about everything, so they ...... Sharon completely underestimated the consequences of her reckless actions.

The words that Keiko's sister had said to Bai Heqing before her death, coupled with this expectation in her heart at the moment, deeply reflected in Bai Heqing's heart at that moment, and distorted his attitude towards life from then on.

Perhaps it was from this moment that Bai Heqing gradually transformed into the well-known Regel decades later.

According to what they expected of him.

Sharon, on the other hand, was soon overwhelmed by the guilt of her impulsive decision.
