746 is enough
On the cold platform, where only two lights were on, Bai Heqing sat alone on the bench.
Just now Sharon said that he would go to the duty room not far away to pour him a cup of hot water, and let him sit here alone and wait for a while, and don't walk around.
The tone of concern was like taking care of a patient.
"Drip-drip-"
In the dark night in the distance, the bright car lights gradually turned on, and the incandescent light was gradually amplified in the darkness with the rumbling sound of steel rails.
There was no doubt that this was the last tram he and Sharon were waiting for.
Although Sharon hasn't come back yet, it's not a big problem, because the tram doesn't stop and go, and it usually waits for a while when it arrives, which is enough time for Sharon to return.
Therefore, Shirakawa Kiyoshi did not rush to call out to Sharon, he just watched the approaching tram from a distance.
【Good Bright Light ......】
The lights of the tram became extremely dazzling in the darkness at the moment, and Bai Heqing looked at the light, not knowing what he seemed to see, and his eyes were a little out of focus.
Suddenly, he put down the urn of Mina Okino that he had been holding in his hand, slowly stood up, and walked towards the edge of the station.
Light in the darkness. 】
In his mind, for a while, he remembered this combination that had been used by countless creators in a cliché, and Bai Heqing was a little stunned.
This combination generally represents the meaning of redemption or hope, and often on the occasion of its appearance, it means that the protagonist who is suffering is about to usher in the peak of his life, and the future development of the story will be all the way for the better.
[All the way to the good ......]
In my mind, at the moment when this thought came to mind, all the sounds in my ears seemed to disappear at this moment, the sound of the cold wind blowing in my ears, the roar of the train and the tracks, and the sound of insects in the darkness not far away.
Everything was gone, his mind was stagnant at this moment, and Bai Heqing's eyes were a little out of focus, just staring at the ever-expanding white light in a daze.
As if summoned by some kind of summons, he subconsciously raised his hand and walked slowly towards the light, and also approached the edge of the station step by step.
"Drip-"
The sound of the tram whistle did not bring back Shirakawa Kiyoshi's consciousness, but it made Sharon, who was receiving water in the duty room not far away, hear the movement.
Puzzled, she subconsciously looked back, but saw Bai Heqing stretching out his hand to the edge of the station, and in the distance, there was a fast approaching tram.
"You idiot!"
Her pupils shrank suddenly, the water cup in her hand fell to the ground, the hot water in the cup wet her trouser legs and shoes, and she was stunned for a moment, Sharon rushed out of the duty room without hesitation and rushed towards Bai Heqing.
"White River?!"
Suddenly, Sharon's voice came from his ears, followed by a huge pulling force behind him.
[Sharon? 】
The eyes of the distraction regained focus, as if at this moment, the originally silent world once again resumed sound, the whistle of the tram, the roar of the tracks, and the sound of insects not far away were all used at this moment.
Consciousness returned to his brain, and Bai Heqing blinked, and the doubt in his eyes flashed.
He looked down at the edge of the platform, which was only a few steps away, as if it had only dawned on him to realize where he was.
He turned his head, Sharon behind him gasped slightly, and the hand that was holding his wrist was very hard, so strong that even Bai Heqing could feel some pain in his wrist.
Sharon looked at him with a complicated look in her eyes.
The two looked at each other like this, and in the end, it was Bai Heqing who spoke first.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Yes, he didn't mean to.
At this moment, it was the first time that Sharon had personally felt his problems since she reunited with Shirakawa Kiyoshi.
The murder of Mina Okino was just another trigger, and the man in front of her may have been hiding some kind of self-destructive tendency in his heart for a long time.
He lived like the walking dead, just following the request of someone in memory who wanted him to live.
But this is not Bai Heqing's original intention, and therefore, under the appearance he has worked hard to shape, there is always a real voice in his heart that he deliberately ignores.
Miss Okino must have encountered a similar situation before, and she was aware of this, so she told Sharon in a serious way that she must pay more attention to Bai Heqing's mental condition.
Miss Okino thinks she is powerless to change this, and the only person in her mind is Sharon.
That's why she can't wait for Sharon's return, and she always believes that as long as Sharon is there, she can reverse this situation of Bai Heqing in a long enough time and move towards a happy ending.
Sharon thinks the same way, as long as it continues like this, everything will always change.
But what she couldn't have imagined was that it was like a joke from God, Mina Okino was killed at this time?
Why......
Why is it at this time?
Sharon suddenly wanted to laugh, she felt that she and Bai Heqing must have destroyed the world in their previous life, or rather, they were destined to bring disaster to the world in this life.
Therefore, God kept playing such bad jokes on them, trying to completely defeat them with all kinds of blows that ordinary people could not bear.
Even though Sharon is an atheist, at this moment, she can't help but think like this.
Because perhaps this is the only way to explain why they always suffer from this unbearable mental torture again and again, and why Bai He Qingming has tried his best to keep himself from the world, but he still has to suffer these hardships that he does not want to see at all.
The world is very unfair, and suffering will always come suddenly in a moment you don't expect, whether you are accumulating good deeds or doing many evils.
This is what Sister Keiko once said to her, and Sister Keiko is undoubtedly the person she said in her own words.
Sister Keiko tried to use this sentence to soothe the negative emotions in her heart, so that she would not complain, let herself learn to cherish the moment, encourage herself to go all the way in the direction she thought was right, and finally insisted on this until the last moment of her life.
There is no doubt that Sister Keiko is the person Sharon has ever met in her life who is most worthy of the word "noble".
She admires her nature.
However, she disagreed.
At least for now, she disagrees.
His eyes gradually fell silent.
Just take it as ...... She also has the selfish blood of the Karasuma family in her veins.
If suffering is just an indiscriminate arrival from heaven, then doing good or evil no longer means anything to Sharon.
Stick to your heart, or indulge willfully, and at the same time there will be no essential difference, right?
Anyway, she just needs Bai Heqing to live well.
As for the rest, what does that have to do with her?
Sharon doesn't think she's as good as Keiko's sister, so there's no reason to care about that.
I just want to live well, and as for the rest of the people, as for the means, I shouldn't have any more concerns, anyway...... Heaven has no virtue.
Looking at Bai Heqing, Sharon suddenly smiled.
On the dimly lit platform, her smile has a different taste, like a poppy in the dark.
"Shirakawa, do you want to take a look at Sister Keiko...... What does eternal life look like? ”
First of all, she needs to give Bai Heqing a reason to live, no matter what it is.
