Chapter 748 Enough is enough

On the cold platform with only two lights on, Bai Heqing sat alone on the bench.

Sharon just said that she would go to the duty room not far away to get him a cup of hot water and ask him to sit here and wait for a while without wandering around.

That caring tone was like looking after a patient.

"Drip-drip-"

In the bottomless darkness of the night in the distance, the bright car lights gradually turned on. The incandescent light gradually amplified in the darkness along with the rumbling sound of the rails. Bai Heqing turned around and looked. In the distance, a tram was heading this way. Coming by car.

There was no doubt that this was the last tram that he and Sharon were waiting for.

Although Sharon is not back yet, it is not a big problem because the tram does not stop and go. It usually waits for a while after arriving at the station, which is enough time for Sharon to return.

Therefore, Bai Heqing was not in a hurry to call Sharon. He just watched the approaching tram from a distance.

【What a bright light...】

The lights of the tram became extremely dazzling in the darkness at this moment. Bai Heqing looked at the light, not knowing what he saw, and his eyes were a little out of focus.

Suddenly, he put down the urn of Okino Mina that he had been holding in his hand, stood up slowly, and walked towards the edge of the station.

【Light in the darkness. 】

In his mind, he thought of this clichéd combination that had been used by countless creators, and Bai Heqing was in a daze.

This combination generally represents redemption or hope. Often when it appears, it means that the suffering protagonist is about to usher in a turning point in his life, and the future development of the story will be better.

【Have good wishes all the way...】

At the moment when this thought appeared in my mind, all the sounds in my ears seemed to disappear at this moment, including the sound of the cold wind blowing in my ears, the roar of trams and tracks, and the darkness not far away. I don’t know where the buzzing of insects came from.

Everything disappeared, and his thinking stopped at this moment. Bai Heqing's somewhat unfocused eyes just stared blankly at the ever-expanding white light.

As if he had been summoned by some kind, he subconsciously raised his hand and walked slowly towards the light, approaching the edge of the station step by step.

"drop--"

The whistle of the tram failed to awaken Bai Heqing's consciousness, but Sharon, who was collecting water in the duty room not far away, heard the sound.

Confused, she subconsciously looked back, only to see Shirakawa Qing walking toward the edge of the station with his hands outstretched. In the distance, there was a train approaching quickly.

"you idiot!"

Her pupils shrank suddenly, and the water cup in her hand fell to the ground. The hot water in the cup wet her trouser legs and shoes. After just a moment of daze, Sharon rushed out of the duty room without hesitation and rushed towards Bai Heqing. go.

"Shirakawa?!"

Sharon's voice suddenly came to my ears, followed by a huge pulling force behind me.

【Sharon? 】

The absent-minded eyes returned to focus. It was as if at this moment, the originally silent world regained its sound again. The whistle of the tram, the roar of the track, and the chirping of insects not far away were all used at this moment.

Consciousness returned to his brain, Bai Heqing blinked, and the doubts in his eyes flashed away.

He looked down at the edge of the platform, which was only a few steps away, as if he suddenly realized where he was at this moment.

He turned around, and Sharon behind him was panting slightly. The hand holding his wrist was very hard, so hard that even Bai Heqing could feel some pain in his wrist.

Sharon looked at him with extremely complicated eyes.

The two just looked at each other, and finally Bai Heqing spoke first.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Yes, he didn't mean to do that.

At this moment, it was the first time Sharon felt the problems in Bai Heqing personally since she reunited with him. The murder of Okino Mina was just another inducement. The man in front of her might have had some self-destructive tendency hidden deep in his heart from a long time ago.

He lives like a zombie, just following the request that someone in his memory once wanted him to live.

But this was not Bai Heqing's original intention, and therefore, under the appearance he worked hard to create, there was always hidden a true voice in his heart that he deliberately ignored.

What just happened, Miss Okino must have encountered similar situations before, and she was aware of this, so she told Sharon with serious words at the beginning, asking her to pay more attention to Shirakawa Qing's mental state.

Ms. Okino thinks she is unable to change this situation. In her mind, the only candidate is Sharon.

That's why she couldn't wait for Sharon's return. She always believed that as long as Sharon was around, Bai Heqing's situation could be reversed for a long enough time and lead to a happy ending.

Sharon also thinks so. As long as she continues like this, everything will change.

But what she never expected was that, as if God had made a joke, Okino Mina was actually killed at this time?

Why……

Why does it have to be at this time?

Sharon suddenly wanted to laugh. She felt that she and Bai Heqing must have destroyed the world in their previous lives, or that they were destined to cause trouble in this life.

Therefore, God keeps playing such nasty jokes on them, trying to defeat them completely with all kinds of blows that are unbearable for ordinary people.

Even though Sharon was an atheist, at this moment, she couldn't help but have such thoughts in her mind.

Because perhaps this is the only way to explain why they always suffer this kind of unbearable mental torture again and again, and why Baihe Qingming has tried his best to keep himself from the world, but he still has to encounter these things repeatedly. He is simply unwilling to do so. See the suffering.

The world is very unfair, and suffering will always come suddenly at the moment when you don't expect it, whether you are good or evil.

This is what Sister Keiko once said to her, and Sister Keiko is undoubtedly the person she speaks of.

Sister Keiko tried to use this sentence to soothe the negative emotions in her heart, stop herself from complaining, learn to cherish the present, encourage herself to move forward in the direction she thinks is right, and ultimately stick to this throughout her life the last moment.

There is no doubt that Sister Keiko is the most worthy person worthy of the word "noble" that Sharon has ever seen in her life.

She admired her for who she was.

However, she disagreed.

At least from now on, she doesn't agree.

His eyes gradually became silent.

Just think...she also has the selfish blood of the Karasuma family flowing through her body.

If suffering is just the indiscriminate arrival of God, then whether it is doing good or doing evil, it will no longer have any meaning to Sharon.

There won't be any essential difference between sticking to one's heart or being willful and indulgent, right?

Anyway, she just wants Bai Heqing to live well.

As for the rest, what does that have to do with her?

Sharon thinks she is not as good as Sister Keiko, so she has no reason to care about that.

I just want you to live a good life. As for other people, I shouldn't have any worries about the means. Anyway... God has no virtue.

Looking at Bai Heqing, Sharon suddenly smiled.

On the dim platform, her smile had a different flavor, like a poppy in the dark.

"Shirakawa, do you want to take a look at...eternal life for sister Keiko?"

First, she needs to give Shirakawa Kiyo a reason to live, no matter what it is.
