Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

"Yeah... I originally thought that my hatred was very firm. I felt that I still attributed everything about my mother to him. I should have seen that he was extremely angry at all times. But when I saw that he would also grow old and he would also be nervous... I actually felt a little pitiful for him."

Oreki Gen smiled.

"It's normal. When people think they are kind enough, they will face their own selfishness. When people think they are indifferent enough, they will unexpectedly see their soft side and realize their inner compassion and kindness. People are the same."

Kiyono Yuri looked at Oreki Gen, she was looking at the light and shadow in the wine glass.

It’s as if I can see the little girl’s past.

How did they persevere in the past? And how did they persevere until now?

Can a person's life be forgotten?

Can I completely let go of the heartbreak I felt in that picture?

It doesn't seem possible.

But what if it's not possible?

She shook her head slightly.

"I'm scared."

"What are you afraid of?"

"If I really forgive him, does that mean that I'm not that sad at all? In fact, I left just to escape? Isn't it... everything I did was just a self-directed and self-acted melodrama? Just like those people who like to move themselves, I just use this method to satisfy my own self-motivation."

Oreki Gen thought about it for a moment.

He smiled, picked up the cup, and said to the other person.

"In fact, no one forces you to make any choice. Whether you want to forgive or let go is your own business. But how can I put it? Never let yourself live in pain, even if you regard this pain as a kind of self-satisfaction. Don't do that."

"why?"

Kiyono Yuri looked at Oreki Gen in confusion.

Oreki Gen laughed heartily, just like his age, a straightforward, sunny boy.

"Because I want to see Sister Qingye always smiling. I hope you are happy and blessed."

Qingye Yuri's eyes flickered slightly.

"really?"

Oreki Gen nodded as a matter of course.

"Of course, so I respect every choice you make, and I hope that every choice you make respects your own heart. Don't make choices that go against your heart just because you can't save face or other people's opinions. Nothing is more useful than sincerity, and nothing is more important than being happy."

Kiyono Yuri burst out laughing.

"Look, I've let you comfort me again. I'm really a useless sister."

Oreki Gen smiled and waved his hand.

"Everyone has moments of weakness, regardless of age."

Kiyono Yuri nodded, then she suddenly looked at her cell phone.

Oreki Gen was surprised that her behavior was a bit strange.

Then I saw her waving behind me.

"This way!"

"Did you call anyone?"

Oreki Xian turned his head subconsciously.

Then I saw a familiar face and a familiar figure walking quickly towards me with a chic smile.

Kiyono Ryo?!

Chapter 40: Medusa

A young and beautiful woman suddenly entered the bustling barbecue restaurant again.

It is visible to the naked eye that the value of this table is still increasing.

But Oreki Xian never expected that such a woman would appear.

Caught him off guard.

When Qingye Ryo really sat in front of him, next to Qingno Yuri.

He couldn't help but say with some doubt.

"Why is she here too?"

"You don't want me to come?"

Qingye Liang asked with a smile.

Oreki Gen was sweating profusely.

"That's not the case. It's just a little unexpected, and you didn't tell me in advance."

Kiyono Yuri casually poured a glass of wine for Kiyono Ryoya and then said.

"Don't be so ungrateful. We two sisters accompanied you to eat barbecue alone. Do you think we are wronging you?"

Oreki Gen blinked and heard the key information.

"You two sisters? Have you reconciled?"

Qingye Liang smiled and raised his glass to the two of them.

"Have a drink first."

Oreki Gen naturally had no reason to refuse, so he picked up his glass and clinked glasses with the two men, then drank the entire sip of shochu.

After finishing the drink, Kiyono Yuri slowly explained to Oreki Gen.

"We are sisters. There is no such thing as getting along or not. I have no grudge against her."

It sounds like you are saying this to your face: This woman, that woman is not you.

Of course, Oreki Gen has no intention of sabotaging the show now.

Qingye Liang said with a smile.

"Thanks to you, Lily can finally go home. Although she won't live back, it's much better than having no contact at all. I toast to you again."

Oreki Xian said unhappily, "Why don't you drink less? You don't have to go to work?"

Kiyono Ryo took the initiative to refill his and Oreki Gen's drinks, then clinked his glass.

He even took a sip on his own initiative.

The young man had no choice but to drink the glass of soju.

Qingye Liang said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's just soju. Besides, nothing is more important than having fun, right?"

There is nothing wrong with what he said, but you can't ruin your life just for the sake of happiness.

Sometimes happiness is indeed contrary to life, which may be the most helpless thing in the world.

The three of them ate, drank and chatted.

During the conversation, they talked about some recent events, which made Oreki Gen realize that their relationship was better than before, and they had returned to being like a family.

When Kiyono Yuri returned to her former home, although she did not directly forgive her stepfather for indirectly causing her mother's death, and she could not call him father, their relationship was no longer as hostile as before.

This is a very acceptable situation for Qingye Liang.

And now the most crucial thing seems to be the seemingly inexplicable relationship between the three people.

The faint sense of embarrassment made Oreki Gen drink a lot more wine.

Kiyono Yuri's topic has always been probing the two of them.

Fortunately, Kiyono Ryo did not reveal any clues. It seemed that he, like Oreki Gen, did not want Kiyono Yuri to know that there had been any substantial progress in their relationship.

Until we finally had enough to eat and were ready to leave, Qingye Yuri took the initiative to pay the bill today.

The three of them walked out of the store together.

After thinking about it, Qingye Yuri said.

"I'm going to go back first, you guys can chat for a while."

Oreki Genji seemed confused and asked, "What should we talk about?"

Qingye Yuri snorted softly, and the afterglow of alcohol seemed to still be on her face.

"Are you still trying to hide this from me? If she wasn't my sister, I would have kicked you out a long time ago."

"We really don't have..."

Before Oreki Gen's words could be finished, Kiyono Yuri interrupted him with a sigh.

Then she looked at the boy with sparkling eyes and said.

"Although we don't contact each other often, I still know a little about her. From her teenage years until now, she has never been in a relationship, nor has she ever had any close male friends around her. I understand that she is worried about me and the family, and of course it's also because she herself doesn't really believe in relationships."

"so what?"

Oreki Xian looked at the other person strangely.

Kiyono Yuri bit her lip.

"She has worked hard for many years. You are the only boy I have ever seen who can make her happy and natural, even like a girl."

After saying this, Kiyono Yuri pushed Oreki String.

"I'm going back. You stay with her. I'm leaving."

After saying this, Qingye Yuri turned and left. In the thick night, her figure seemed a little desolate and lonely.

But it is true that Oreki Gen has no reason to chase after him now.

Making everyone happy is indeed an arrogant desire and ideal.

But this is indeed a career worth striving for all your life.

Turn around and walk towards Qingyeliang.

The woman was leaning against the fence, smoking a cigarette.

Light smoke rose up and diffused over her delicate face.

It looks like a hazy texture.

She's like the broken heroine in an art film. You don't know what her story is, but you only know that she must have a lot of stories.

Oreki Gen walked forward, took the cigarette directly from the other person's lips, and then threw it under his feet and stomped it out.

Qingye Liang was stunned for a moment, but he was not angry. Instead, he looked at Oreki Gen with a smile.

"what?"

Oreki Gen said angrily, "I told you to smoke less, but you're a police officer, and you're smoking when I'm not watching you. You're amazing."

Qing Yeliang looked at the other party with a smile, "Why do you have to care about me? My body is my own. I can bear any consequences."

But Oreki Gen walked towards the other party, and Kiyono Ryo looked at him as if provoking him.

Until the young man reached out his hand, held her face, and then blocked her mouth with his lips.

There was still some cold wind, blowing through the hair of the two people wantonly.

But all they could feel was the kiss getting better and better.

Their passions collided with each other, and the lifeless Qingye Liang even stretched out his hands and couldn't help but wrap them around the other's waist, like a little woman who was addicted to it.

The most instinctive action.

I don't want to seize the initiative and just want to submit to the other party's tyranny and unreasonableness.

In other words, only such actions can make oneself feel that irreplaceable beauty and unique feeling.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe my lips even felt numb.

Only then did the wooden string loosen Qingye Liang.

Then he looked at the young woman from a close distance, her face already rosy and her eyes hazy like mist.
