"A-Cheng, there's something urgent at home, so I'm going back first!"

After leaving the restaurant, Tetsuya Takahashi received a message on his mobile phone. He hurriedly talked to Futaba Makoto and left quickly with Rina Aihara.

But before leaving, Rina Aihara politely said goodbye to Futaba Makoto and the others.

"Is it urgent?" Futaba Cheng looked at the backs of the two people hurriedly leaving in the distance, and asked the girl next to him, "Where to go next?"

Gong Baiyuyou's delicate face was expressionless, and she just pointed again to the place where she just saw the seal.

"Then let's go." Futaba Cheng nodded, he had nothing in particular to see.

But Gong Baiyuyou seems to like the look of seals very much.

There are many seats in front of the glass tank for viewing marine life. After Futaba Cheng and Gong Shiro Yuyou sat down, they quietly watched the seals playing in the water.

The light from the light shines through the glass wall of the water tank and shines on the cheeks of Futaba Cheng and Gong Bai Yuyou, and the light and shadow swim on their faces like small fishes.

The two of them rarely spoke, and just looked at the seals.

The seals were frolicking and playing, and this water tank seemed to be their world.

At this time, there seemed to be a slight change in Gong Bai Yuyou's eyes that were originally as calm as well water.

There was a heavy feeling on his shoulders. Futaba Cheng turned his head, and at this time Gong Baiyu was resting on his shoulders - the fragrance of flowers from his hair was refreshing, and seemed to make people feel relieved.

"Another material?" Futaba Cheng asked regarding the girl's behavior.

Gong Baiyuyou did not respond.

After a while, she said softly: "I'm sorry."

Futaba Cheng asked in confusion: "Why apologize?"

"I am a person who always causes trouble for others...whether it is my parents, Ninomiya-san or you."

Gong Bai Yuyou's voice was very soft, with an unconcealable gloom in her tone: "If I hadn't insisted on holding an art exhibition, my father wouldn't have drank those few more glasses of wine. If not... the ending might not be so good.

Same."

"It always brings misfortune and trouble to others." Gong Baiyuyou lowered her head, her bangs covering her eyes so that her expression could not be seen clearly.

Futaba Cheng didn't speak, choosing to listen quietly.

Gong Baiyuyou slowly raised her head, her black bangs falling apart, revealing her quiet and beautiful eyes.

She looked at the seals swimming happily in the tank: "When I was a child, I always loved to pester my parents to come to the aquarium to see seals. But later, the aquarium became the place I was most afraid of."

"It's strange, isn't it?" Gong Baiyuyou looked at Shuangye Cheng and asked.

Futaba Makoto said: "The reason why you brought me to the aquarium is actually not for the material of your book, right?"

Gong Baiyuyou lowered his head: "I'm sorry..."

"Then there's no need to apologize."

Futaba Cheng's words made Gong Baiyuyou raise his head.

"I'm not very good at comforting people either." Futaba Cheng scratched his cheek with his fingers.

"But, actually, my parents also left because of an accident when I was in elementary school."

This was the first time Gong Bai Yuyou knew about this. She subconsciously stretched out her hand and placed it on the back of Futaba Cheng's hand. The warmth coming from it was very reassuring.

Futaba Cheng didn't care about the other party's actions. He smiled: "So, I should be able to understand your emotions more or less."

Gong Baiyuyou said nothing.

Looking at Gong Bai Yuyou at this time, Futaba Cheng said seriously: "But you should not be responsible for the mistakes your parents made, or even atone for them."

"What you should do is remember the mistakes your parents made and use them to warn others to prevent them from happening again. Instead of using yourself as a prop to atone to vent your hatred to classmates who have also lost their loved ones."

Gong Baiyuyou lowered his head: "I don't know what to do."

Futaba Makoto said: "Do you think that your act of atonement will make them hurt you and make their pain of losing their loved ones disappear?"

"No, it won't happen, Miyashiro." Futaba Cheng said slowly, "What you do will only repeatedly hurt those who have also lost their loved ones."

Gong Baiyu raised his head blankly: "Harm...them?"

"The pain when a loved one just leaves is far less painful than living with this scar. From the moment you lose a loved one, the pain is no longer short-lived. It will last for a certain moment, a certain picture, a certain moment."

Inadvertent habits awaken this pain and cause harm to those living again."

"And your act of repentance, which seems to redeem yourself, is actually reminding those who have lost their loved ones all the time, as if it is like a sharp blade that continues to hurt each other and constantly uncovers each other's scars." Futaba Cheng said.

Gong Baiyu remained silent.

"You said you bring trouble and misfortune to others." Futaba Cheng smiled, "When you were born into this world, the happiest people were probably your parents."

With one sentence, Gong Baiyuyou's eyes slowly lit up.

"When you are indulging in pain, every memory will push you up or down. No matter what you choose, it will become your motivation. I think your parents who are far away in heaven definitely don't want you to be immersed in it all the time.

Be in sorrow."

"Even if you are carrying unbearable pain, you must have the courage to move forward firmly. This is... the best gift for those relatives who have passed away."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Futaba Cheng said softly:

"It's time to step out, Gong Bai."

A wisp of wind that seemed not to exist blew away the haze in the girl's heart, her soft lips moved, and finally she threw herself into Futaba Makoto's arms.

After a long time, a thin mosquito-like voice came out: "Really...is it okay?"

"Yeah." Futaba Cheng nodded.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly reached out and stroked Gong Bai Yuyou's hair. It was as smooth as silk and felt good to the touch.

Talk.

Is this considered a successful consolation for him?

After a while, a voice came from my arms: "Can I stay in your arms for a while?"

"Can."

…

…

After coming out of the aquarium, Gong Bai Yuyou had returned to her original self. This mouthless girl who was unpredictable and moodless seemed to be no longer so difficult to understand in the eyes of Futaba Cheng.

It's as if the two people's hearts have become slightly closer.

Under the moonlight, the two held hands and walked on the way home. The silver gauze covered the street, making the originally dark road no longer dark.

They walked towards the bright light in the distance.

At this time, the girl suddenly stopped. She took out her usual notebook and opened it——

[?w?`)Thank you very much for always.]

"Always?" Futaba Cheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.

This statement is as if the two have known each other for many years.

Gong Baiyu You saw Futaba Cheng shaking his head, but put away the notebook without caring. She slowly raised her head, and the moon in the sky was extremely white.
