Chapter 761 Am I exposed?

"Mr. Karasuma, today comes so fast..."

In the clinic, just as Shirakawa Kiyo was thinking about how to break the silence, Elena Miyano spoke first.

When she spoke, she did not look at Bai Heqing, but was sorting out the messy pile of various documents in front of her desk.

"It just happens that my home is not very far from here." Bai Heqing replied, while looking at the hands of Elena Miyano who were sorting documents.

As an "old detective" with more than ten years of front-line experience, he could naturally tell that Elena Miyano's attention was not really focused on the pile of documents. She was just using this small gesture to... Cover up your shyness and introversion.

"I see."

The topic ended. Elena Miyano seemed to be really not very good at talking to strangers. After Shirakawa Kiyoshi answered, she fell silent, not knowing how to continue the topic.

So Bai Heqing took the initiative to speak.

"Is Mr. Miyano Atsushi not here today?" he asked.

Of course he knew the answer to this question. After all, unlike last time, the person who called to say he wanted to talk to him this time was not Miyano Atsushi, but Elena Miyano in front of him.

"Housi has gone to pick up our daughter, and he won't be back for a while."

Sure enough, Elena Miyano also gave the answer Shirakawa expected, so he then asked:

"That's right, Ms. Miyano, does your family take turns picking up children?"

"Well, our family does not deliberately assign fixed responsibilities as housewife or househusband. Isn't this a bit strange for Japanese families?"

At the end of the sentence, Elena Miyano quietly glanced at Shirakawa Kiyoshi.

"Others may have this idea, but I don't. To be serious, the situation in my family is similar to that of Ms. Miyano's family." Shirakawa Qing replied with a smile.

His words surprised Elena Miyano.

"Huh? Is Mr. Karasuma already married?"

"Don't I look like a married person?" Bai Heqing asked.

"Ah! No, sorry, I didn't mean that..."

His question made Elena Miyano, who was originally surprised, become a little nervous and flustered again. She once again looked away from Bai Heqing and explained quickly:

"I just don't feel like Mr. Karasuma is someone who would get married so early..."

[You don’t seem like someone who would get married so early? 】

Some didn't understand where Elena Miyano came from to make this judgment. Bai Heqing didn't think much about it for the time being, but continued to speak according to his planned route:

"That will really disappoint you, Ms. Miyano. Not only am I married, but my wife is also a very beautiful mixed race like you..."

"Huh? Really?"

"Of course, she is a very good person, but she is not very good at cooking, so every time I am the one cooking at home, it is really a headache..."

Looking at Elena Miyano who was surprised again, Shirakawa Kiyo revealed a little bit about Sharon.

Many times, revealing such a "little secret" to the other party can often play a big role in improving the relationship between the two parties.

Well, I'm just a little sorry for Sharon...

"It seems that Mr. Karasuma must get along very harmoniously with your wife..." Elena Miyano replied with a smile, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

After just a few chats, the relationship between the two has become much closer than before. Although Elena Miyano is still reluctant to look at him directly, normal conversation seems to be no longer a problem.

Before getting to the point, Bai Heqing wanted to ask a question first. "Ms. Miyano, I'm a little curious. Why do you think I will be the kind of person who gets married late?"

He was indeed curious.

Bai Heqing believed that in his previous contacts with Miyano and his wife, he had always behaved very normally. There should be no place where Elena Miyano could have such thoughts.

When he asked this question, the smile on Elena Miyano's face suddenly stiffened. She fell silent again, and the hands that were turning the pile of documents on the table gradually stopped.

Bai Heqing did not continue to urge, but just looked at her quietly.

Not letting this silence last too long, Elena Miyano seemed to have finally made up her mind. She turned around on her swivel chair and looked at Shirakawa Kiyo, looking directly into his eyes for the first time.

"Mr. Karasuma, can I take your pulse?" she said.

She really said something that Bai Heqing didn't expect.

"Taking...the pulse?" Bai Heqing was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is Ms. Miyano good at Chinese medicine?"

There was no such thing in his information.

Elena Miyano shook her head slightly and replied: "I'm not really good at it, I just learned it on my own. Even so, I can still do it for taking someone's pulse...is that okay?"

At this time, she no longer had the fearful and introverted feeling she had before.

It seems that there should be one more thing to add to Ms. Miyano’s judgment:

When she gets serious, she can completely overcome her fear of strangers.

"it is good."

Without refusing, Bai Heqing stood up and sat on the empty seat next to her, stretching out his wrist.

If that's what it takes to answer his question, he doesn't mind.

Some cold fingertips pressed on his wrist, which gradually became warm after being contaminated by the heat on his wrist. Elena Miyano closed her eyes, frowned slightly, and quietly felt Shirakawa Qing's wrist. Uploaded pulse.

Time passed minute by minute in silence. After a long time, she opened her eyes again and looked at Bai Heqing meaningfully.

"Mr. Karasuma's physical fitness is excellent, far beyond the average person's level. This is even my first time encountering..."

She seemed to have noticed Bai Heqing's physical fitness far beyond ordinary people through his pulse.

"Thank you." Bai Heqing thanked him seriously.

"only……"

However, the next second, Elena Miyano changed the subject.

"Mr. Karasuma, is there something in your heart that... worries you?"

She carefully considered her tone and finally said this.

Maybe her words were too unexpected, or maybe they hit her heart.

In short, at this moment, a strange color finally flashed across Bai Heqing's face, but because he was wearing a mask, Elena Miyano only noticed his slightly shrunken pupils.

"Ms. Miyano...why do you ask that?"

This sentence can almost be said to be a disguised admission, but Bai Heqing really wanted to know the answer, so he was too lazy to hide it.

Suddenly, all the strange things he had felt in the woman in front of him were connected in some way at this moment.

Although it might seem a bit unbelievable to say it, he really couldn't help but wonder at this moment:

Could it be that the woman in front of him knew his identity?
