"Why do I feel like you are younger now than you were when I saw you a few years ago?"
Looking at Shirakawa Kiyo's face in a daze, Kudo Yukiko subconsciously spoke out what was in her heart.
This is not some kind of compliment, but Yukiko's true words.
Let’s not talk about the further time. A few years ago, when she and Sharon became apprentices of the great magician and followed Sharon to visit her home, Bai Heqing at that time still gave her a middle-aged look of forty years old. The feeling of a man.
But now, a few years have passed, and instead of moving toward middle-aged and elderly people, Shirakawa Kiyo gives her a younger feeling.
As an excellent actor, Kudo Yukiko can clearly feel that Shirakawa Kiyo's temperament has not changed much in recent years. His "youth" is more direct and fundamental - physical youth. .
It's like being a child again.
"Huh? Younger?" Bai Heqing heard this and raised his hand to touch his face.
"It definitely feels that way."
Sharon next to her heard this, looked at his face carefully, nodded and replied:
"We usually live under the same roof, and I have long been used to seeing your face. If Yukiko hadn't mentioned it today, I wouldn't have even noticed it..."
"So it seems that I usually take good care of myself? I can actually make myself look more than ten years younger..." Bai Heqing didn't pay too much attention to this matter, and teased himself with a smile.
"Shirakawa, what kind of skin care products do you usually use?" Kudo Yukiko asked curiously, but she was just a little confused and didn't pay much attention.
This topic was brought up by several people.
"No need, just eat less junk food and exercise moderately."
"Hey, if everyone can insist on this, why do we need skin care products?"
"It may not be easy for others to say, but Yukiko is taking care of the children at home every day. I think there should be enough time for you to develop this habit..."
【Um? 】
Having said this, Bai Heqing, who was smiling at first, suddenly changed his expression. He quickly turned around and raised his hand, and with great precision clasped the hand behind him that just wanted to hold his shoulder.
"It's not like just casually getting behind others...!"
Bai Heqing turned his head. After seeing the face of the person behind him clearly, he suddenly stopped mid-sentence. After a moment of confusion, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes were filled with incredulity.
The woman behind him has short golden hair, a proud figure, and beautiful appearance. She is an absolute beauty.
And this beauty was looking at Bai Heqing with a gloomy look, and said coldly:
"It's really strange. Today I saw a man who has been dead for almost ten years walking around in front of me. Was it me who took drugs unconsciously? Or was the dead man resurrected?"
"...Mary?"
Hearing Bai Heqing call out her name, the expression on Mary's face became even more gloomy. She glanced at Sharon, who was standing next to Bai Heqing with serious eyes, and immediately grabbed Bai Heqing's wrist with her backhand.
"Come with me."
With that said, she dragged Bai Heqing towards the sea cliff in the distance.
"..."
"So, what exactly is going on?"
Sitting on a beach, Kudo Yukiko looked at Shirakawa Kiyo who was dragged away by the blond woman who suddenly appeared from a distance, and asked:
"Is it possible that she is Bai He's cheating partner?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I think the possibility of my Shirakawa cheating is much smaller than your Yusaku's." Sharon glanced at her.
"He dares!" Even though she knew Sharon was joking, Yukiko still became furious instantly, "If that damn guy dares to cheat on you! I will follow him! If he finds one, I will find ten!"
Smiling, Sharon did not answer her words anymore, but looked in the direction of Bai Heqing and Mary again, with a solemn expression.
"So, what happened to that woman? I thought I heard Bai He call her Mary just now? They should know each other, right?"
After the joke, Yukiko asked worriedly again. She was worried about her friend.
"I don't know." Sharon shook her head slightly, she really didn't know.
only……
Looking at Bai Heqing who was still talking to Mary from a distance, a strong sense of uneasiness gradually emerged in Sharon's heart.
For some reason, she always had the feeling that the life that she and Bai Heqing had gradually stabilized over the past few years seemed to be about to disappear...
"..."
"Brother Xiuyi, mom knows that man, right?"
Not far away from Sharon and Kudo Yukiko, Akai Shuichi and Hideyoshi were also looking at Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Mari under the sea cliff in the distance.
"Isn't it obvious?"
"Speaking of which, I've noticed before that when Mom looked at Sister Jing who went into the water with you to save people, and Sister Xiaoying, there was something wrong in her eyes..."
"What do you mean?" Akai Shuichi turned to look at Hideyoshi.
"I don't know, I just have this feeling, so I tested Sister Jing before, but unfortunately I didn't get anything special. In the end, she noticed it. Fortunately, I successfully fooled her..."
Hideyoshi spread his hands and said: "So, mom and that man really knew each other, right? I just don't know when it happened. I never heard mom mention it before..."
"Not at all."
After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Akai Shuichi suddenly remembered something that deeply impressed him.
"Hideyoshi, do you remember? Mom went to Japan ten years ago."
"Ah, I remember something like this. My father was still there at that time, and Masumi wasn't born yet." Hideyoshi nodded.
"So what did mom do when she went to Japan?"
"I don't know this, but I remember it very clearly. Before my mother decided to go to Japan, the expression on her face was as gloomy as when she called out to the man just now..."
"..."
And just when the families of both parties were equally nervous and worried, the conversation between Bai Heqing and Mary under the sea cliff was not as tense as everyone imagined, but was very harmonious and harmonious.
"So, just because you didn't want to get involved with Japan's political clan anymore, you deliberately arranged the drama of faking your own death to escape ten years ago?"
After hearing Bai Heqing explain the ins and outs of everything, Mary sighed quietly.
"Why do you hide this kind of thing from me? You must also know that I went to Japan ten years ago to help you solve the case, right?
Why didn't you come out and tell me then? For the past ten years, I have always thought you were dead..."
"Sorry." Bai Heqing smiled at her, but did not explain the reason.
He naturally knew about Mary's trip to Japan ten years ago, and it was precisely because of this that he was determined to hide the truth from Mary.
After all, he really couldn't say that I faked my death just to facilitate my joining a terrorist organization and do evil things to such a person who was worried about him.
Mary, on the other hand, also did not pursue the question any further.
"Speaking of which, you've seen my two children just now, right? They were the two boys who went into the water to rescue people with your daughter, and the two boys who helped the police call the suspect..."
Mary did not ask about Sharon's identity, nor about Bai Heqing's former fiancée. As smart as she was, after listening to Bai Heqing's simple description of the past events, she had already made a general guess. There was no need to be ignorant. Ask out...
"Well, they are two outstanding young people."
But what Mary didn't notice was that when she heard Mary mention her own family, a strange look suddenly flashed across Bai Heqing's face.
He remembered again, the MI6 agent who chased Rum's trail during the Haneda Koji case seven years ago.
"By the way, Bai He, if nothing happens later, how about you come to London with me?"
Mary's voice came again, but Bai Heqing's brain was now occupied by the memory of seven years ago.
Even by Bai Heqing's standards, that agent was a very outstanding talent. Perhaps it was because of this that after he dealt with the other party, he suddenly turned over the person's clothes on a whim, thinking Know that person's name.
Akai Wuwu.
Seven years ago, Bai Heqing found such a driver's license on the agent he killed.
In addition to the name, he also saw a family photo.
In that group photo, next to Akai Mutake, was Mary, whom Shirakawa Kiyoshi recognized at a glance, and two young boys.
Bai Heqing realized at that time that he had inadvertently made a fatal mistake.
"good."
With his mind filled with these distracting thoughts, Bai Heqing nodded subconsciously and agreed to Mary's proposal.
(˙ー˙)This ends the story of this review
